TRAFFIC PROBLEMS COMING WITH ROAD WORK
Posted on: August 28, 2012
Upcoming Road Improvements
On or about September 4th, construction will begin on a number of streets in the Township. This work is part of the 2012 road improvement program. The work will include new handicap ramps, milling and paving of streets, and striping at intersections. Work will be performed on Prospect Street and Hickory Drive. This work is part of the Townships ongoing program to maintain the streets. As part of this work, we will be implementing portions of the recently adopted Bikeway Network Plan. There will be some intermittent traffic disruptions while this work proceeds. We appreciate your patience during the construction process.
More specifics HERE.
MAPLEWOODIAN IN NY TIMES
“I feel like I’ve been thinking about back-to-school ever since school ended — it doesn’t go away,” said Kim McCormack, who works in pharmaceutical marketing in Maplewood, N.J., where her two children attend parochial school. “My kids came home with math workbooks, a reading list, suggested activities and a list of school supplies that we’d need to get before the next school year begins. Everything has gotten longer and more complicated than it needs to be.”
FORMER POLICE STATION WORK CUTS PARKING
Maplewood residents might want to budget a few extra minutes into their morning commutes.
Construction on the former police station buildingat 125 Dunnell Road has meant the elimination of roughly 20-25 commuter permit parking spots in the lot next to the former station. "Those are gone forever," said Thomas Malavasi, township engineer.
"It will push people out further" from the station for parking, he said.
In addition, roughly a dozen street spaces in front of the former station are unavailable during construction, which Malavasi said would last around a year.

COSTLY OUT OF TOWN STUDENTS AND OTHER ISSUES RAISED AT SCHOOL BOARD MEETING
South Orange-Maplewood Board of Education members continue to be concerned about students attending their schools who live out of district – but they can’t seem to agree on how to remedy the situation.
At Monday’s school board meeting, members held a lengthy discussion on whether it was cost-effective to pursue students who live out of district, and whether it was ethical to seek tuition payments from parents who may not be able to afford them.
“It does not make any sense to me that we would ever collect enough money from students who are here who might live in another town to offset taxpayer burden,” said Board Member Andrea Wren-Hardin, chair of the facilities committee. The main problem, she said, is that “students throughout the state are not receiving a thorough and efficient education. That’s what this is about.”

SCHOOL DISTRICT IMPROVING OFFICE HOURS AND BLOGGING
Office hours and blogging are two strategies the South Orange-Maplewood Board of Education will try this fall to improve communication with the public.
The school board agreed at its meeting Monday night to pilot the communication initiatives. The board also adopted a policy on computer use and appointed a new supervisor of language arts.
Board member David Giles presented a plan to hold monthly evening “office hours” attended by between two and four board members. The office hours would alternate between the South Orange public library and the Hilton branch of the Maplewood library.

NEW CONSTRUCTION COMING
PATCH has a good primer on new homes and town houses coming, including that old Wyman Ford spot:
Maplewood Township has three new developments scheduled to begin construction soon that may bring more professionals and more shopping to the area.
The Maplewood Planning Board has approved the opening of a store named “Deals” at the old Wyman Ford Building on the corner of Springfield and Tuscan avenues. Not far away on Burnett Avenue, David Checchio, general counsel for Elite Properties, hopes to have a groundbreaking on the site to start building 126 apartments on the site in September and, later, to build town houses nearby.
The new additions will add to the township in a number of ways, said Mayor Vic De Luca.

MAPLEWOODONLINE BLACKBALLS ME FOR NOTHING
So Maplewoodonline has kicked me off again,
apparently because I want to allow its reader to link to some of my work.
As Jamie Ross
knows, I make no money from my website and I only link to things that are not
otherwise reported.
Several fellow
residents have raised the issue of how Maplewoodonline's practice of limiting
access to what has become a real public square of commentary is a form of
censorship and likely the basis for legal action.
Interestingly, Maplewoodonline's rules
indicate there is no "inaccurate, abusive, vulgar,
hateful, harassing, obscene" conduct allowed.
As anyone who regularly reads the site
knows this is broken daily by many others.
The site then states it can kick anyone

SEN. CODEY TOWN HALL WITH MAPLEWOOD RESIDENTS
I did, too. I took the call and recorded about 30 minutes of it for you to hear. I was also asked in the middle if I wished to ask a question, but never got on.
At that time, I did inform the producer that I was recording for playback here.
The former governor answered many questions related to taxes, although the sound quality went in and out.

BAT RABIES ALERT!
August 21, 2012: A bat that was found in Memorial Park on Monday morning August 20 was tested and found to have rabies. The bat was acting unusual in that it was hanging on the side of a tree very low to the ground. The tree is next to the blacktop walkway that runs from the Civic House to Oakview Ave, on the east side of the brook. Thanks to an alert resident who contacted us early in the morning, the bat was removed by 9:00am prior to the start of any child day camps in the park. The bat was captured and tested at the NJ State Health Dept. laboratory and found to have rabies. There is no danger to any person or pet unless they had direct contact with the bat. At this point no one has reported any contact with this bat. If you know of any person or pet that may have had contact with this bat, please call the Maplewood Health Dept., 973-762-8120 x4400.
Bats are a normal part of our natural wildlife and they are usually considered beneficial since they eat insects. Under normal circumstance they are not to be feared and they do not attack people or pets. However, when a bat is found to be acting abnormally, such as lying on the ground, it must be avoided since it may have rabies. If you find a bat acting abnormally, contact the Health Dept., Animal Control or during evening or weekends, contact the Police Dept. Do not touch the bat. Protect your pets by making sure they have a current rabies vaccination. For further information contact the Maplewood Health Dept.
CHS RANKING CLIMB DRAWS INTERNAL PRAISE
 |
| Superintendent Brian Osborne: CHS "a fantastic place" |
“The entire community should be proud of CHS’s movement up the rankings and the accomplishment of our students that the rankings represent,” said Superintendent of Schools Brian G. Osborne. “The steady improvement comes from the commitment and professionalism SOMSD educators and staff, and the enthusiastic support that the SOMa community gives its public schools. CHS is a fantastic place to go to high school, and we will work tirelessly to make it even better for all of our students.”
“We are pleased to see Columbia High School move up in the rankings, “ said Board of Education President Beth Daugherty. “CHS and district leaders have had a strategic commitment to excellence and equity over the past several years that is moving Columbia High School forward. The Board of Education is grateful for the efforts of our teachers and staff and the support of the entire community.”
“Over the past several years, we have been working on enhancing instruction, improving the ways we support and evaluate teaching, making curriculum more rigorous, and increasing access for students to our most challenging classes,” said Columbia High School Principal Lovie Lilly. “While we know we still have work to do to make Columbia High School all it needs to be for every student, these rankings are further evidence that we are moving in the right direction. We have a great, hard-working staff at CHS, and I am confident that we will continue to improve.”
CHS RANKING JUMPS INTO TOP 50 STATEWIDE
The state magazine boosted CHS from the 75th spot in 2010 to 47 today.
See more HERE.
It is also one of only six high schools in Essex County to make the top 50.
TOWNSHIP MOSQUITO NOTICE
This summer has been one of the worst seasons for mosquito bites that many of us can remember. This is to update residents on what is already being done and what we can do
The Essex County Mosquito Control has been busy monitoring mosquito activity at ten to fifteen locations in the township. They trap mosquitoes, sort them by species and have them tested for viral diseases such as West Nile virus. This trapping has shown that the Asian Tiger mosquitoes are very prevalent. These are the very aggressive small mosquitoes that will bite even in broad daylight. You usually do not even notice that you have been bitten until you feel the itchy bite that is left behind.
Other species such as the culex mosquito, which is the primary carrier of West Nile Virus have been found. These mosquitoes tend to feed on birds rather than people. Asian Tiger mosquitoes can carry West Nile Virus, but they are not as efficient a disease transmitter as the culex species.
Mosquito Control has been doing Ultra Light Fogging in many neighborhoods in the Township. This fogging has been going on in the very early morning so you may not have noticed this activity. The fogging results in a quick knockdown of adult mosquitoes and provides temporary relief. The insecticide is safe for pets and people and it has a short residual effect of only a few hours. Contact the Essex County Mosquito Control if you need further info on the specific sprays being used.
The most important step that we all can take is to check the outside of our properties for stagnant water sources. Simply turn over these water sources or drain them and this will stop the breeding. One significant fact, as relayed by the County Mosquito Control, is that the Asian Tiger mosquitoes do not fly far from their breeding sources. So, the mosquitoes that are biting you are breeding right in your neighborhood.
Mosquito breeding sites that are often found are:
1. Old tires that have collected water. This is a favorite Tiger mosquito breeding site. Dump this water out and put the tire in the garage where it will not refill. Tires can be taken for recycling for $1.00 by getting a coupon at the Township Clerk’s office.
2. Spackle buckets, garbage cans, and any container that holds water. Empty cat food cans have frequently been found as a breeding source.
3. Clogged roof gutters.
4. Back yard pools that are neglected and left non circulating. The blow up type pools have often been found with breeding larvae.
5. Planters, bird baths and decorative ponds that are not tended.
6. Natural spots such as tree hollows, depressions or gullies in the soil
Further helpful information on mosquito control and mosquito borne diseases can be found at CDC.gov and at the NJ State Dept of Health and Senior Services web sites. As always, the Maplewood Health Dept. can be contacted for help. The Essex County Mosquito Control also wants residents to call directly with complaints as this helps them monitor problem areas. Their phone number is 973-239-3366 x 2480.

FORMER MAPLEWOODIAN CITES HOMETOWN IN NY TIMES
MY father practiced law in our hometown, Maplewood, N.J., and my mother took care of our family of six children. I was the fifth child, probably destined to follow my father into the legal profession. But at 13, I found a lump on my neck. At first, the doctors thought it wasmumps or maybe a tooth infection, but after a biopsy, Hodgkin’s disease was diagnosed.
In those days, parents consulted with doctors behind closed doors, and no one told me anything. I could feel the fear around me and thought I was dying. Then, in 1968, as I was being readied for tumor removal surgery, I overheard the nurse say it was Stage 4 Hodgkin’s. I had no idea what that meant, but when I returned home from the hospital, I looked it up in our encyclopedia

PRISON ART TODAY
| Date: | August 18th, 2012 |
| Time: | 7:30pm |
| Information: | For the past several years Dr. Eva Bouzard-Hui, EdD, has taught art to prisoners in New Jersey. She is presenting over 40 prints of the prisoners work in a an art show sponsored by 3rd Saturday Arts at Ethical Cultural Society of Essex County (ECSEC), 516 Prospect Street, Maplewood. The opening was on Saturday, July 21. Due to the growing interest in the art, 3rd Saturday Arts is hosting two receptions for Eva to discuss the prisoners' work. The first was on Friday, August 17th, at 2:00 PM; and the second reception is this one on Saturday, August 18th, at 7:30 PM. The prints create a sense of the artistic variation in the prisoners' two dimensional visual work in various media and will stay on display through Sunday, September 9th. The prints are offered for a $25 donation to the Society from which 50% will be provided Eva for reimbursement of the considerable cost of materials for her class. Admittance to the show is free. Private viewing of the art at other times can be arranged by contacting 3rd Saturday Arts Coordinator, Gus Lindquist, via email at hglindquist@gmail.com. Please allow time for Gus to reply as his schedule permits. |
