"This year we expanded the carnival atmosphere a little," the
sergeant said. "We put in more rides for the kids." Jackson
Councilwoman Ann Updegrave said, "I like to see all the emergency
vehicles out here showing the residents of Jackson what they have to
offer." Jackson Councilman Scott Martin said, "It was a great
turnout. My compliments go out to the organizers of the event. They did
a great job. I think it's by far the largest turnout we've ever had.
There was a real sense of community. Once again my compliments go to
Sgt. Convery, who did a wonderful job organizing the event."
Convery said the Policemen's Benevolent Association donated bicycles
for a bicycle raffle for children. Area companies made donations
of various equipment and rides. ShopRite supplied hamburgers and hot
dogs. Convery estimated that several thousand people would visit the
event for at least part of the evening. The Jackson Police Department's
DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) car was on hand for inspection.
A rappelling demonstration by law enforcement personnel was a highlight
of the evening. The demonstration was dedicated to all air assault
troopers and to the paratroopers who have been in the 82nd or the 101st
Airborne division. Representatives of Jackson's fire companies were on
hand to demonstrate their equipment.
The Jackson Mills Fire Company was a hit with the crowd. Youngsters
— and some dads — were allowed to climb into the driver's seat of a
vehicle and pretend they were on their way to save a family from a
burning building. Children had a chance to see how a fire
extinguisher works and they were allowed to put out an activated live
fire. The Jackson Volunteer First Aid Squad and Quality Medical
Transport had ambulances on exhibit and demonstrated cardiopulmonary
resuscitation and a variety of first aid techniques. Representatives of
the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) were on hand to explain the
mission of the group. During specialized training, civilians learn how
to respond to emergencies with first aid, trauma and rescue skills. CERT
would supplement police and fire responses during a large-scale
emergency. This year the New Jersey State Police joined the event,
sending officers and equipment dealing with homeland security issues.
"We are part of a chemical, biological, radiological vehicular
unit," said Sgt. Mike Macintyre of the New Jersey State Police
Hazmat response unit. "We go out and look for samples for evidence
collection and testing in order to provide that kind of
information." Macintyre pointed to an assortment of equipment that
is used by the Hazmat response unit, including one piece that tests
chemical agents. "These are Level-A fully encapsulated
[protective] suits that are worn [in potentially dangerous areas],"
he said. "This is an air purifying respirator, which gives the
wearer more time in [the suits] and these are chemical agent 256 kits to
detect nerve agents."
New Jersey State Police Trooper Jeff Gauthier showed
equipment that is used when dogs are trained as canine officers. A
police dog was present for the event. Also on hand were members of the
New Jersey State Police Bomb Squad, Technical Emergency and Mission
Specialists, the New Jersey National Guard and the auxiliary police.
Prime Time Showband, a Rockland County, N.Y., band led by Billy Keenan,
played dance music that kept people moving. Information was also
presented to guests by representatives of the Jackson Optimist Club, the
Kiwanis Club, the Jackson-Plumsted Domestic Violence Response Team, the
Jackson Academy of Taekwondo, the Jackson Fitness Center, Fancy
Limos.com, and the Intrinsic Chiropractic Center. Children's
identification cards were being handled by Jackson police officers
Joseph Oleksy and Burt Salisbury.

Study will examine uniting fire
districts
Jackson solicits firm to conduct first phase
BY MARK ROSMAN Staff Writer Tri Town News
Jackson officials have taken the first step toward determining whether
sharing services with or consolidating Jackson's fire districtsmight
serve the community better than the present system of four separate fire
districts. A legal notice published in a local daily newspaper last week
is soliciting firms to bid on a job "to prepare a SHARE grant
application and conduct a feasibility study to determine whether shared
services and/or the consolidation of Jackson Township fire districts
into one unified fire district will best serve the township."
Proposals for the job will be submitted to the township, opened and read
at 11 a.m.April 16.At present, Jackson is divided into four fire
districts. Each district is served by a board of commissioners and a
fire company. The operation of a fire district is supported by an
assessment that appears on a property owner's property tax bill.
The 2007 tax rate in each fire district follows:
• Fire District 1 - 16 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. The
owner of a home assessed at the township average of $150,000 in Fire
District 1 paid about $240 in fire district taxes in 2007. The owner of
a home assessed at $250,000 in Fire District 1 paid about $400 in fire
district taxes. The owner of a home assessed at $350,000 in Fire
District 1 paid about $560 in fire district taxes.
• Fire District 2 - 10.1 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. The
owner of a home assessed at the township average of $150,000 in Fire
District 2 paid about $151 in fire district taxes in 2007. The owner of
a home assessed at $250,000 in Fire District 2 paid about $252 in fire
district taxes. The owner of a home assessed at $350,000 in Fire
District 2 paid about $353 in fire district taxes.
• Fire District 3 - 17.9 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. The
owner of a home assessed at the township average of $150,000 in Fire
District 3 paid about $268 in fire district taxes in 2007. The owner of
a home assessed at $250,000 in Fire District 3 paid about $447 in fire
district taxes. The owner of a home assessed at $350,000 paid about
$626.
• Fire District 4 - 14.1 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. The
owner of a home assessed at the average of $150,000 in District 4 paid
about $211 in taxes in 2007. The owner of a home assessed at $250,000
paid about $352. The owner of a home assessed at $350,000 in District 4
paid about $493.
Township Administrator Phil Del Turco said Jackson is taking
advantage of an opportunity provided by the state Department of
Community Affairs to examine shared services and programs. The township
is looking into shared services and programs with the school district.
Del Turco said the process would be twofold: in the initial step, a
feasibility study would be conducted to develop information about shared
services or programs between two entities (i.e., the township and the
fire districts). Pending those findings, shared services and/or programs
could be implemented. Del Turco noted that in the present case involving
the planned study of Jackson's fire districts, the township is not at
the implementation stage. He said that during this process, "we
will want to coordinate and communicate with the fire districts. That is
critical."

primary and secondary search of the resident which turned up only 4 cats which
succumbed to the smoke.
It was determined that no one was in the structure and all residents were
accounted for.
An
aggressive interior attack was performed by the firefighters and the fire was
extinguished.
Extensive overhaul had to be performed by the crews on scene.
JCP&L responded
to the scene to cut power to the home along with the New Jersey Natural Gas
Company. The
homeowner was checked by the Jackson First Aid squad and checked out ok.
The fire does not appear to be suspicious in nature but is under
investigation by the Ocean County Fire Marshall’s Office.
Council awards EMS pact
Quality Medical Transport selected for daytime coverage
2/14/08 JACKSON- Township Council members
have awarded an emergency medical services transport contract to Quality Medical
Transport Inc., a Beachwood ambulance service. The contract was voted upon at the council's
meeting on Feb. 11. Quality Medical Transport will serve the
residents of Jackson during the daytime hours and the Jackson Volunteer First
Aid Squad will continue to provide coverage during the evening and overnight
hours. Quality Medical Transport will provide backup
service for the volunteer first aid squad and will provide three ambulances
instead of the two that were in town in the past.
There will be a 30-day clause in the contract
which will allow Jackson officials to cancel the service if the firm cannot
perform its duties. According to a proposal provided by the firm,
Quality Medical Transport will collect for its services only from the insurance
company of the patient and will work for free if the patient has no insurance
coverage. Council members Scott Martin and Angelo Stallone
and council President Ann Updegrave voted to award the contract to Quality
Medical Transport. Councilman Jason Gudaitis voted no.
Councilwoman Emily Ingram, who could not attend
the Feb. 11 meeting due to a previous commitment, said her choice was to award
the contract to QualityMedical Transport. Martin read a statement from Ingram in which the
councilwoman said, "Emergency medical service is extremely vital to the
health of Jackson residents and with proper internal control I believe
QualityMedical Transport can provide efficient service. My request would be to
have Quality Medical Transport submit monthly reports to the township
administrator and to the selected ad-hoc committee detailing the response times
as well as any issues that have occurred."
Ingram also asked that an executive from Quality
Medical Transport attend a town meeting on a quarterly basis to discuss matters
of concern with municipal officials and residents. During an earlier caucus meeting council members
discussed the idea of naming an emergency medical services oversight committee
that would consist of two or three residents and possibly an adviser from the
Jackson Police Department and from the volunteer first aid squad who would
oversee the provision of emergency medical services. In order to provide a permanent oversight
committee the mayor would have to amend the administrative code, Updegrave said.
She suggested two residents, Kenneth Bressi and Dennis Lafer, who could be on
the committee with Gudaitis.
Gudaitis suggested a maximum of a five-member
committee. Mayor Mark Seda recommended that the oversight
committee should have access to Quality Medical Transport's response times.
Township Attorney George Gilmore said he believes
the committee should be permanent at this point. The oversight committee would
have no real power except to observe the job being done by Quality Medical
Transport and to advise municipal officials, he said. The council members did not vote on whether there
will be an emergency medical services oversight committee. That decision may be
made at a future meeting of the council. When comments from the public were taken resident
John Walters said he was disappointed there was not more discussion about the
alternatives. He recommended that the volunteer first aid squad remain in the 6
p.m. to 6 a.m. slot because it strengthens the program for the squad's younger
members.
"The township should support the first aid
squad with more than $20,000," he said, adding that he favored having
Quality Medical Transport provide the daytime coverage. Martin said he was asked by first aid squad
officers to move the end time for coverage by the volunteer squad to 5 a.m.
instead of 6 a.m. Martin voted to award the emergency medical
services contract to QualityMedical Transport. He said he received positive
recommendations about the firm. He noted that the firm has received several
awards and will back up the first aid squad volunteers. Updegrave and Stallone also voted in favor of
awarding the contract to Quality Medical Transport.
Gudaitis cast the only no vote and said he wanted
an emergency medical services oversight committee in place.Updegrave said she visited the first aid squad
and was pleased to say that Quality Medical Transport can provide Jackson with
the services that are needed. The times that the first aid squad will provide
coverage will have to be worked out with representatives of Quality Medical
Transport and she said she believes that can be done. "I feel Quality Medical Transport deserves
to be given a chance based on its background, its recommendations, its
qualifications and its communication with the first aid squad," she said.
No date was given for when Quality Medical
Transport will take over daytime responses in the community. At the present time
daytime responses in Jackson are provided by MONOC. Quality Medical Transport will provide what is
referred to as Basic Life Support services when it is dispatched to a call.
MONOC will continue to provide what is referred to as Advanced Life Support
services when those services are required on a particular call for emergency
medical services.The council declined to institute a municipal
emergency services unit that would have operated under the auspices of the
Jackson Police Department.
STRUCTURAL FIRE KNOCKED DOWN QUICKLY
2/7/08 -A working structure fire was knocked down
quickly by Fire District No 3 firefighters. The dispatch came in around 12:05 pm
Friday reporting a structure fire on N Hope Chapel Rd. District 3 Firefighters
stationed at the S. Hope Chapel Firehouse (District 1) quickly responded along
with the Fire Official who was also at the station. Fire Official Frank
McDonnell was first due and reported fire coming from the B division of the
ranch house. Firefighters Jay Zimmerman and Lt Ed Moore arriving shortly after
with unit 5708 stretched 1-3/4 hand line to division B side. Neighbors reported
that their maybe occupants home and entrapped.
Fire Chief Ken Byrnes arrived and
assumed Incident Command . Lt Moore prior to arrival of other incoming units,
knowing there may be entrapment, by himself gained entry and knocked down
the fire in the kitchen area and did a quick search for the occupants as
Firefighter Zimmerman operated the pump. Units 5511 and 5505 arrived soon after
and assisted with suppression, accountability and ventilation. The
occupants were found not to be home at the time of the fire but 2 cats were
missing in which a search by firefighters resulted in a negative find. There
were no injuries to firefighters. The cause was investigated by Jackson Fire
Official McDonnell, Ocean County Fire Marshals Office and Jackson Police
Detective Scott Conover who determined the cause to be accidental and origin
related to the dishwasher.


Debate On EMS Services Ongoing
Meeting Planned January 23 To Discuss Options: Quality Medical Is
Frontrunner
Jackson Times By Lauren Puglisi 1/11/08
The Jackson Township
Council will hold a special meeting at 7 p.m. on January 23 to discuss bringing
a paid EMS service to town. The meeting will serve
as a public forum for members of the community to learn about emergency medical
service (EMS) options officials hope will benefit overall health and safety in
Jackson. The intent, officials
have stressed, is not to replace the township's volunteer first aid companies.
Rather, it is to assist them by providing added emergency response service
during hours when the volunteers have traditionally been understaffed.
Councilman Scott Martin said the new service provider will operate from 6 a.m.
to 6 p.m. Whether the township
will contract with an outside agency - two are currently on the table - or
create its own EMS service is still under discussion. Mayor Mark Seda has
suggested plans that would call for the town's current daytime EMS provider,
MONOC (Monmouth Ocean Hospital Service Corporation), to be eliminated. Instead,
a new community service officer under the auspice of the township Police
Department would be created to oversee a new municipal emergency medical
service, funded fully by the town.
If the township opts to
contract with another provider, however, that plan may never come to fruition. On December 21, an
ad-hoc subcommittee created to study the issue met with representatives from
MONOC and Quality Medical, the two third-party services under consideration. Ken
Bressi, a member of the committee, said the meeting brought residents from of
all walks of life together to discuss EMS issues. One thing most agreed on: An
in-house service is not the way to go. "All people in
attendance commonly decided against starting a new in-house EMS service,"
Bressi said. However, Business
Administrator Phil Del Turco said that the question of whether the township will
provide EMS services on its own is still up in the air. "The purpose for
this change is to ultimately improve response times within Jackson. The mayor's
open-forum presentation will detail different emergency providers to the council
and to the public of Jackson Township," Del Turco said. To the end of improving
response times, Bressi said discussions will be ongoing. "Since response
times have been such an issue in Jackson," Bressi said, "talks of
putting a committee together to calculate the reasoning behind slow response
times is an ongoing possibility. I think this way no one person will be blamed
and emergency calls will be monitored on a continual basis."
Although there has yet
to be a final decision made within the entire council, Martin has given his
endorsement to Quality Medical. He said that if Quality is chosen as the
township's EMS provider, there will be no charge to the town and at least three
ambulances will be provided (more if needed) during the targeted time period. In
contrast, MONOC would cost taxpayers up to $150,000 for their services, Martin
said. "After doing
research and speaking with stellar Quality Medical references, this EMS provider
appears to be the best service with no cost to the town," Martin said.
"I am still open-minded to other service providers, which will be presented
during the mayor's meeting, but the reason I am so impressed with Quality
Medical is because they are willing to supply back-up services to the township's
first aid volunteer squad."
The vote is still
pending, but other council members have started to weigh in too. Councilwoman Emily
Ingram said she has done research on both MONOC and Quality Medical, and feels
that Quality Medical is a service that goes above and beyond other providers. "Jackson residents
have major complaints about bettering EMS response times and my research has
shown me that Quality Medial has guaranteed that they take pride in the fastest
times," Ingram said. Although Martin, Ingram
and other members of the ad-hoc committee are leaning towards Quality Medical, a
final decision has not yet been made. This in part led to Seda's decision to
hold a meeting detailing the use of three separate provider options. Seda announced at last
Thursday's council meeting that he would be holding a meeting to outline the
pros and cons of going with MONOC, Quality Medical or a townshiprun EMS service
provider. Township Clerk Ann
Marie Eden said during the course of the meeting, Seda will be available for
questions from the public after giving a detailed presentation on EMS service
providers. Seda said the governing
body will be ready to go to a vote if all council members come to a consensus.
Councilman Angelo Stallone agreed. "If the council
feels comfortable to move forward with a new EMS provider after the mayor's
presentation, we will," said Stallone. The mayor's EMS
presentation will be held in the main auditorium at Jackson Liberty High School,
7 p.m. on January 23
