It wasn’t easy trying to schedule my second date with George. The Saturday night after our first date, I had prom—so that wouldn’t work. (Read about Prom in “My High School Prom” and “Prom Part II.”) I was supposed to go to Prom with my ex-boyfriend Al, who had joined the Navy, but he couldn’t get a leave, so I went with my cousin, Vinnie.
The scheduling challenges continued on. My mom made arrangements for me to attend another prom with the son of the man who laid the linoleum in our new home. On top of that, my family was moving from Brooklyn
to Queens. It was a crazy month. Yet, George kept in touch with me the whole time. He was persistent in his attempt to find a free night for our second date. I was a senior at All Saints High School, and between moving, exams, and two Proms, it was difficult to find free time, but I WAS interested.
My High School decided to have a senior dance in June. I didn’t think George would be interested, but I asked him anyway.
“Sure!” he said. I was thrilled, and my parents thought it was cool that he said yes. I was excited for my High School friends and neighborhood friends to meet him!The Second Date
Finally, it was the night of the senior dance. George picked me up in our new house in Queens and we drove to Brooklyn for the dance. He looked so handsome. It was so much fun talking to him. When we got to the school, a bunch of my friends were waiting outside—they were anxious to meet George. My friends made him feel very welcome. I was so proud of them!
What I learned that night? George was a GREAT dancer! He knew how to do lots of dances, including the “lindy hop”, the “cha cha”, the “twist”, and of course the “slow dance.” We even came in second in the dance contest. I was thrilled, and couldn’t wait to tell my brother and parents. My cousin Vinnie was also at the dance, along with my friend Dolores (she was the one I brought on the Blind Date with
George on our first date.) At the end of the evening she came over to me and said that she liked George, and had a crush on him. I didn’t know how to handle that, Maybe George felt the same way? I decided not to say anything to George.The End of the Night
On the way home, we had another conversation. I couldn’t help but wonder if he would ask me out again.
“Good Night,” he said. “What are you doing next Saturday?”
I was thrilled, and of course I answered told him I’d be free.
“Great. I’ll call you!” he said. My parents were waiting up for me, and couldn’t wait to hear
how the evening went. I filled them in on everything—everything besides Dolores’ crush on George—you should have seen the smiles on their faces.
When I went to school on Monday, Dolores came running up to me, and asked me how the rest of the evening went, and whether George had asked me out again. I told her that he said he would call me. At the time, I couldn’t have predicated what was going to happen next.

Mayor Onderko’s
CornerRichard M. Onderko Mayor, Borough of
Manville
The month of February has been tough weather-wise. We encountered our first big snowfall since 2016 with close to 2 feet of snow falling in a relatively short period of time on Monday, February 2nd. It seems we are in a month-long pattern of more weekly snow events.
This leads me to ask for more coopera-tion from our residents to please move your cars off our roadways so our DPW crews can safely and efficiently plow our streets. It is much easier to plow our residential streets when no cars are parked on each side. I grew up in Manville on North Second Avenue. It was bothersome to me to see so many cars parked on the street when each home has 100-foot-long driveways.
With that amount of snow encountered, it makes it exceedingly difficult to clear the roads trying to ensure public safety so that emergency vehicles can get down them. I ob-served several side streets that were almost impossible for emergency vehicles to get down due to the mounds of snow created by vehicles left on the street.
We have an ordinance on the books that designate emergency snow routes throughout our Borough. The routes require no parking
when roads are snow-covered or your vehicle will be ticketed and towed. The public safety committee on Council will be reviewing the routes and possibly adding more where it makes sense to do so.
Similar towns like Bound Brook and Somerville have no parking on any street when roads are snow-covered. I am not sure if that is possible here in Manville but all we are asking for is more cooperation by getting your vehicles off the road wherever it is pos-sible to do so. There is no excuse to see ve-hicles on our streets where driveways are left empty.
We also have another ordinance in effect that requires homeowners to shovel their

Together, in 2021 let’s improve health and wellness through parks and recreation here in the Borough of Manville.
Local park and recreation agencies provide crucial health and wellness opportunities for all populations in communities across the country. As America continues to face seri-ous health issues, including rising rates of chronic disease, an increased prevalence of sedentary lifestyles and poor nutrition habits, parks and recreation offer an affordable and accessible solution.
Together, with other Borough resources in-cluding our Manville Library and our school officials we can work to enhance resources and technical assistance to improve access to healthy foods and increase opportunities for people to be physically active in their com-munities. Our areas of focus include ensur-ing that all people have safe access to quality
park and recreation facilities and program-ming; promoting healthy eating and physi-cal activity standards; expanding access to evidence-based health prevention programs; connecting parks and the health community, and supporting programs and policies that eliminate health disparities.
Let’s create a Manville movement to create healthier out-of-school time (OST) programs. In 2021, we are looking to create some new and exciting programs such as Teen Travel, Chess and Checkers, Spring Basketball and an Introduction to Computer Coding. Addi-tionally, we will be adding a walking path in one or two of our Borough parks. We have a lot to offer in this amazing 2.5 square mile town. Together, we can achieve more.
Remember to get out and #PlayManville!
The Manville Police Department is in-volved with various traffic safety campaigns throughout the year. What initiatives are there? When are they? Who is involved? Many questions may be asked as to the who, what, when, where and why - so let’s dig a little deeper to gain a better understanding and answer some of these questions.
The Manville Police Department has a great working relationship with various traffic safety partners at the local, county, state and federal levels. Some of these organizations that provide us with information, funding and training to assist us in our goal of mak-ing the streets of Manville safer, include the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office, Traffic Officers Association of Central/West Jersey, New Jersey Police Traffic Officers Associa-tion, New Jersey State Police, Rutgers Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transporta-tion, New Jersey Division of Highway Traf-fic Safety and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA.)
The Prosecutor’s Office applies for, over-sees and provides our department with various grants funded by the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety. Some of these grants
include funding for impaired driving patrols, child passenger safety inspections, occupant protection and distracted driving campaigns.
The State of New Jersey works with the NHTSA, who runs various campaigns throughout the year. Some of these to watch out for in the upcoming months include a St. Patrick’s Day impaired driving campaign, a “U Drive. U Text. U Pay.” campaign in April and a “Click-it or Ticket” campaign in May. You can search online for the NHTSA 2021 Communications Calendar, which will iden-tify each campaign and their dates on the cal-endar.
The campaigns are highly advertised and can be seen on television or social media and heard on the radio. During these campaigns, many drivers are extra cautious because they do not want to receive a summons, so they may not text during the campaign, but they will the rest of the year. One of the goals of these campaigns is to change future behavior and get drivers to never text while driving, not just during a campaign.
Remember, motor vehicles can be very dangerous machines and we must always op-erate them in a safe manner. We do not want to get that ticket, crash, injure or kill some-one - it could be a friend, a family member or even you. So the next time you see or hear an advertisement for a campaign, please remind yourself to always drive in a safe manner, not just during the campaign.
The February 2021 sewer bills will be mailed out the week of February 22 and are due by 4:30 pm Wednesday March 24, 2021.
Calculation of Sewer BillsSewer bills are calculated by a per unit
charge of $55 each quarter and $4.03 for ev-ery 1000 gallons of water used. The water us-age number comes to us from the New Jersey American Water Company. If you think your water bill, for whatever reason, is higher than usual, your sewer bill will also be higher than usual. You must first get your New Jer-sey American Water bill corrected, and then bring the corrected bill to our office, and we will correct your sewer bill based upon the New Jersey American Water corrected bill.
Directions for Homeowner to request Final Sewer Bill when selling home
The following procedure must be done when handling a property sold in the Bor-ough of Manville
Homeowner is to call the New Jersey American Water Company (1-800-272-1325) and set up a final water meter reading.
The final reading must be emailed to the Manville Sewer Department [email protected] along with a letter stating the date of closing and the information of the person responsible for the payment of the fi-nal sewer bill. The final sewer will then be calculated, based on the water consumed to the closing date.
2020 Senior Freeze ApplicationsThe State of NJ will be mailing out the
2020 Senior Freeze (aka Property Reim-bursement) applications the week of Febru-ary 12, 2021.
How to apply: If you met the eligibility re-quirements for both 2019 and 2020 and are filing for the first time (or reapplying to the programs after being denied in a prior year) you should file the form PTR-1 and the ap-propriate verification form (PTR-1A). This form is available online by visiting the web-site www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/ptr/claim.shtml.
If you filed an application for 2019 and met all the eligibility requirements, you will need to file the form PTR-2 and the appro-priate PTR-2A that was mailed to you from the State of NJ. This form is a personalized application that is not available online. If you qualify and have not received the applica-tion, call 1-800-882-6597.

When most people think of Scouting, they think of the Eagle Scout, that is the pinnacle of Scouting, but there is so much more. Get-ting scouts to conquer fears large and small, from knowing what to do when confronted by a bear, to clearing spiders in a tent. Seeing children grow into adults and making sound decisions. Most of our biggest success sto-ries are from young adults that scouting has helped by just being there for them.
When I look back at my life the largest in-fluence on me is; the time a I spent as a Cub and Boy Scout and being a Boy Scout leader. When asked to describe Scouting I reflect back on the three basic tenants of Scouting: God, country and family. But what is the most important thing it has done for me is the reassurance that my son is prepared for any situation he may find himself. From surviv-ing in the woods for a summer in a lean-to or being able to work online from a basement office in the middle of a pandemic, or just being able to relate and be with others. These life skills are what we are so sadly miss-ing today. Scouting is the best way I know to have children have fun and still have the ability to teach them when they aren’t look-ing, fun with a purpose. The age level ap-propriate ranks of Cub Scouts (Grades K-5) and the skill-based advancement of Scouting (Grades 6-12) combine to guide and mold children into well adjusted adults that con-tribute and help a community thrive. The best part of this program is how the parents/
guardians are heavily encouraged to partici-pate in this volunteer run program.
Scouting in Manville is sponsored by Thomas J Kavanaugh VFW Post 2290. With-out a sponsor a Troop or pack can not exist. The Post is one of the best sponsors a Pack/Troop could ever have, providing guidance, meeting space and assistance when-ever needed. So, this strong foundation has al-lowed Pack and Troop 193 to persevere the ups and downs that life throws at Manville. With that in mind, as we begin to see a light at the end of this horrible tunnel, we need to prepare for the resurgence of social activities for our children. In the coming months the Manville Scouting community will be reach-ing out to former Scouts and Scouters for help to restart Pack 193. The pack has a strong base of leadership that hopes to guide the next generation volunteer leaders up to speed. Together we will guide our youth safely into the future.
So, look for more on how you can help us rebound and restart the Pack to meeting the needs of Manville youth. Look next month to see how you can involve you children in Scouting and brighten their futures.
If you would like to know more or want to be involved, please contact Manville Scout-ing at [email protected].
Yours in Scouting,Jim Kelly, Pack 193,

Dear Friends of the ADC:“Being deeply loved by someone gives you
strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” - Lao Tzu
Valentine’s Day is a day we associate with all kinds of love - love for a partner, love for a child, love for a parent, love for a friend, even love for our pets. Some of the most moving examples of love I have witnessed have happened at the ADC. Seeing the love a husband has for his wife while caring for her through her battle with Alzheimer’s disease, seeing a daughter’s love for her father after a stroke, and seeing the love of a family as they navigate end-of-life decisions truly proves that loving someone deeply does give you courage. It takes courage to be a caregiver. I am humbled by the many courageous people I have met over the years at the ADC and I am inspired by their love.
From all of us at the ADC, Happy Val-entine’s Day! Thank you for allowing us to share in this loving journey with you.
Sincerely,Diann Robinson

The Somerset County Board of County Commissions awarded a grant in the amount of $250,000 to the Borough of Manville for the Lost Valley Nature Park. The Borough is the first grant re-cipient under the new Recreational Open Space Funding Program that was recently implemented by the Somerset County Board of County Commissioners. This grant will be utilized along with the $800,000 of funding received from the Transportation Alterna-tive Program(TAP) Grant. This project will allow the Borough of Manville to remove impervious surfaces such as asphalt roads and concrete sidewalks and utility poles and infrastructure. Native veg-etation and trees will be planted to increase the habitat for wildlife. The addition of another boat launch will provide greater access to the River.
Lost Valley Nature Park offers an opportunity to restore the natu-ral area and improve recreational opportunities for the community. Additional improvement include the buffering of homes and roads from flooding, supporting nature-based tourism activities, improv-ing water quality by filtering water, and supporting health benefits to residents through recreation and improved air quality.

The Store That Builds Homes.
As the new President of the Manville First Aid & Rescue Squad, I am hearing there is some confusion about our current fund drive. The 2020 drive was supposed to hit mailboxes by December 5th but due to backlogs at the US Postal Service and bulk mailing be-ing deemed a lower priority, the mailers weren’t delivered until the middle of January. I wanted to explain why residents are just now receiving the 2020 Fund Drive letters. Thank you, if you have al-ready sent in your donation. If you haven’t, please consider doing so. Every dollar helps.

sidewalks 12 hours after the end of a storm event. Many sidewalks were not shoveled days after the storm and more snow has fallen since. Violation notices will be issued. In addition, if you have a fire hydrant near your residence, do your civic duty and shovel it out for access in case of a fire emergency. Our fire volunteers recently spent half their Saturday going around town digging our hydrants. A big thank you to all those who participated.
During the storm event, our DPW crews did an outstanding job keeping all our emergency designated snow routes passable. I would like to thank the DPW employees for their long hours and efforts. Because no matter how good a job they do, there is always someone who will complain. In the days after the storm, they revisited side streets to clean up large piles of snow left behind by cars that were dug out days later.
This past month, there has been a noticeable lighting improve-ment on our Main Street. Our lampposts were recently changed out to LED bulbs. The light is more energy-efficient, brighter, and no longer gives an orange glare as the old-style lamps did. I believe the improved lighting will also enhance public safety.
Governor Murphy has proposed big plans for the economic revi-talization of Main Streets to help recover from the deepest recession of our lifetime due to the pandemic. I remain optimistic we will see new plans for the redevelopment of the old Rustic Mall site very soon. Also, plans are finalized for the reconstruction of our Main Street to enhance all pedestrian crossings and to slow traffic down. Construction is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2022.
Stay informed. Visit our social media pages on Facebook and Bor-ough’s website for the latest news.

It is prohibited for any property owner, tenant, employee or agent when removing or causing to be removed, snow, ice or sleet to cause such snow, ice or sleet to be thrown or placed into any public roadway or right-of-way, whether by operation of a snow blower, plow, hand-shovel, or in any other manner, to a distance of more than 1 feet from the curb line or roadway edge.
Any violation of this ordinance may result in a charge for this abatement in the amount of $250 and will be instated against the prop-erty by the Municipal Tax Collector.

March is National Developmental Dis-abilities Awareness Month, during which the country aims “to help raise awareness about the inclusion of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, in all areas of community life.” In order to reach this com-munity, the Somerset County Library System of New Jersey (SCLSNJ) continues to en-hance their services and programs to better serve persons with disabilities.
“SCLSNJ strives to foster a sense of safety, connection, and belonging in our libraries,” said Nanette Peterson, branch manager. “We hope to remove barriers to our materials and services that impact utilization while offering people with impairments more independence, and control.”
According to the New Jersey Department of Human Services, Division of Developmen-tal Disabilities, over 1,200 adults in Somerset County are eligible for their services.
“In response to the state’s continued ini-tiative to move individuals from its devel-opmental centers into the community, more adults with developmental disabilities are living in the community every day,” said Jen-nifer Sulligan, civic services supervisor. “At SCLSNJ, we are committed to addressing the needs of this shifting demographic by striv-ing to improve the accessibility of our spaces, resources, and services.”
Throughout the month of March and be-yond, the Library System will offer a series of virtual programs that foster the needs of adults and children with disabilities. The pro-grams include a disability awareness panel discussion; an information session that helps navigate college and career resources; and more.

This March, celebrate the legacy and history of all women with the Somerset County Li-brary System of New Jersey (SCLSNJ).
“Last year, women around the country were planning to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of female suffrage,” said Christine Madrid, Somerset County Library commission vice chair. “Because of the pandemic, those festivities and important conversations, to a certain extent, were put on hold.”
She continued, “Luckily, every March we are given the renewed opportunity to celebrate women’s history - the great achievements of women in Somerset County, of women across the United States, and of women throughout the world. I am excited to participate in and support the many rich, educational programs that the Library System will be presenting throughout this month.”
This Women’s History Month, the Library System will host a variety of virtual programs that will explore the accomplishments and contributions of females throughout history.
