 Debris lines the streets of Millburn, NJ IMAGE: New Jersey Governor's Office It’s been a long wait for Essex County, NJ, residents who are continuing to clean up after receiving devastating damage from last week’s Tropical Storm Ida. For the first time in history, Essex County had received a “Flash Flood Emergency” warning from the National Weather Service in anticipation of the life-threatening deluge yet to come. After the storm dissipated, the area which had already been hard hit only 10 days earlier with flooding from Tropical Storm Henri’s 6” of rain, was now suffering from new catastrophic flood damages.
Four days after Ida, six New Jersey counties received FEMA Major Disaster approvals. Essex County was not included in that list and county officials urged residents and business owners to document their losses in order for the approval to be granted. Finally today, Essex County has been declared a Major Disaster Area due to Tropical Storm Ida and residents can now apply for federal assistance. Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr. Apply for FEMA Federal Assistance
FEMA Aid Includes Financial Assistance
FEMA Registration Process: You will need to submit the following:
Essex County’s FEMA disaster declaration came about after a full week of local, county and state assessment and documentation:

This morning Dr. Joseph E. Nyre, Seton Hall University President, announced that the school will be changing to all remote learning for the remainder of the semester. The university is basing its decision on the alarmingly fast growing rate of Covid-19 cases within New Jersey and especially in Essex County.
Nyre expressed that all three campuses will begin learning remotely begining today:

Dr. Joseph E. Nyre
President Seton Hall University
Nov. 12, 2020
"It is clear that the pandemic’s anticipated “second wave” has arrived throughout the nation, state and region. New Jersey’s coronavirus infections continue to rise quickly, and counties in North Jersey are seeing marked increases in positive cases. Current statewide positive tests are approaching levels not seen since April’s outbreak peak. The United States now has seen more than 10 million cases and is adding more than 100,000 a day. Our University has experienced an increase in positive cases as well."
The university announced the following:
- Residence halls will remain open until Thanksgiving.
- All students should get tested at the school's health center before returning to their homes.
- All food services will be take-out only starting on Saturday.
- Any scheduled in-student events will take place remotely only
- Enhanced cleaning and sanitization throughout the school will continue
- The campus remains open with the limited in-person staff that's been working since August
Dr. Joseph E. Nyre
President Seton Hall University
Nov. 12, 2020
"We are grateful for the efforts of our entire University and all the work each of you has put into keeping our community safe as we arrive on the verge of the Thanksgiving holidays. Your sacrifices demonstrate the resilience of the Seton Hall University community in so many ways.
Throughout the semester, Seton Hall has been guided by our Restart Plan, which reflects countless hours of contingency modeling, discussion, review and updating by more than 140 members of the Seton Hall community who served on various committees.
The State of New Jersey-approved plan was designed to be inherently flexible and accommodate any emerging scenario. As Seton Hall has done since the beginning of the pandemic, we have continued to incorporate the latest public health data and expert guidance into our planning. The health and well-being of our students, faculty, clergy, administration, and staff, as well as the community at large, continues to guide our decision-making."
Today's announcement may have also been in response to the amount of positive test results coming from the Men's Basketball players and staff.
Kevin Willard
Seton Hall Head Men's Basketball Coach
"The Seton Hall men's basketball team has paused all team activities due to positive COVID-19 test results among the program's "Tier 1" personnel, which consists of student-athletes, coaches, staff and managers.
Our priority throughout this pandemic has been the health and safety of our community. We are currently following all state, local and University guidelines in response to these positive cases.
Our number one concern is that we keep everyone safe and healthy. Since we returned to campus in July, we have been diligent in following protocols and rigorously tested with no positives until this point. But as we've seen throughout the country and here locally, COVID-19 cases are on the rise and unfortunately it has reached our program. We will continue to monitor the situation and we look forward to resuming our preparation for the season when it is safe to do so."

While there is no doubt April hit Essex County, NJ, like a freight train, it's not been clear how the massively contagious virus has hit each of the population's age groups throughout the Pandemic.
On Wednesday, Mar. 4, Governor Phil Murphy announced the first Corona Virus case in New Jersey: a Male, age 30, who had tested positive and was hospitalized in Bergen County. It is believed that the male had been exposed to a person who tested positive in New York City. At that time, 9 persons in New York had tested positive.
Essex County's first case was announced eight days later on Thursday Mar. 12, when a woman, age 66, became New Jersey's 24th case of Corona Virus. The announcement included the information that the female was from Montclair and was hospitalized at Mountainside Hospital.

Commentary from West Essex Now
Mar. 14, 2020
🔺 SOCIAL DISTANCING OR WE BECOME ITALY
This is not a practice, not a drill. We are all in this together or we are all going to very soon start suffering together. Schools and towns aren't closed so that everyone else can gather together elsewhere.
In order to make sure that everyone is well-informed and that everyone makes excellent decisions, I haven't slept in three days. The news I report is only getting worse, not better.
My reporting is not to frighten anyone, not to panic anyone - but anyone ignoring the obvious Pandemic Crisis facts and going out in our community with no precautions jeopardizes all of our health. No one in this West Essex community should be endangering the health of anyone else.
Parents: you are in charge of your children. Right now, students should be at home and not with each other and Parents you need to set the example of healthy behavior.
Everyone has been given numerous reasons to stay at home, or at work (at a safe distance from others), or run very quick last minute errands.
▪️ Restaurants Deliver
▪️ Stores Deliver and some have parking lot pickup
▪️ We can all keep in touch remotely, and we need to.
Please start taking this Pandemic Crisis seriously or I am truly worried about what I will have to start reporting for West Essex.
Thank you sincerely.

- The family of Jim Brown, 48, principal of Grover Cleveland Middle School in Caldwell announced that he died as a result of Covid-19. While recognizing Mr. Brown's death, Governor Murphy announced that going forward all flags were to be lowered to half-staff in mourning for those who have been lost.
Governor Phil Murphy
Apr. 3, 2020
"One of those we have lost is James Brown, the Principal… And there’s James, God bless him, with his family. James was the Principal of the Grover Cleveland Middle School in Caldwell, and the accolades – and if you don’t take my word for it, go online. The accolades being posted in his memory by the members of the community tell just how deeply respected and loved he was. He leaves behind his wife Sherry, to his right, as you can see his three children, and an entire school community who loved him dearly. And James was only 48 years old...God rest his soul.
I know that there is nothing we can say to truly dull the pain that the Brown family...and every family who has lost a loved one to COVID-19 is feeling right now. But we can make them know that we are thinking about them through our actions. And so, to that end I am signing an executive order today directing that all flags across New Jersey be lowered to half-staff effective immediately and indefinitely to honor those we have lost and those that we will lose. And we will lose more, sadly, as a result of this pandemic.
This is one of the greatest tragedies to ever hit our state and our nation indeed, and we must have a constant and visible memorial of the tremendous personal toll COVID-19 is having on our communities. And since families at this time cannot even hold funerals for their lost loved ones, this is a way – a small way but I think an important way we can make sure that their loss is not forgotten."

essex county distributing $3.15 Million Grants for municipal park improvements
Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr. announced that each of the 21 municipalities in the county will be receiving grant monies to improve their local parks. The $3,150,000 has come through the Essex County Recreation and Open Space Trust Fund which was created in 1998; this grant distribution marks the sixth time since 2003 that the Fund was used to benefit local parks.
Each of the 22 towns in Essex County were eligible to apply in 2019 to receive a $150,000 grant to help fund their local park improvement project without any need for the town to provide matching funds. Essex Fells did not submit an application.
Caldwell and West Caldwell are merging their grants for the Harrison School Field improvement project.

Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr.:
“I am pleased to partner with our municipalities and the Trust Fund to modernize athletic fields, create skate parks, upgrade community pool infrastructure, restore public gardens, build playgrounds, stabilize waterways and acquire open space, to name just a few of the projects funded by this program through the years. These improvements have kept our parks up to date and enabled our open spaces to meet the changing needs and growing demands of our residents. When the 2020 application process for the Local Aid Program began last year, the Coronavirus was not even on our radar. Now, as restrictions are being lifted and we return to a new normal, our parks and recreation spaces will have an even greater role than before. Families breaking free of stay-at-home orders will be looking for outlets and the construction contracts that will be awarded will help jumpstart the economy and create jobs, just as we did with the program in 2009 after the Great Recession."

Essex County Announces Plans for 77-Acre Cedar Grove Park and Robert J. O'Toole Community Center
5/14/2016

CEDAR GROVE, NJ – Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr. outlined plans for the new 77-acre Essex County Cedar Grove Park on Fairview Avenue in Cedar Grove on Friday, May 13th. Located on the site of the old Essex County Hospital Center, the park will be the first county park in Cedar Grove and will be the fourth largest in the Essex County Parks System.
“Preservation of this land for passive recreation and a community center
fulfills a promise we made in 2007
to minimize development on the old hospital complex.
Essex County is one of the most densely populated counties
on the East Coast and creating 77 acres of open space will maintain the suburban character of Cedar Grove, provide additional recreation opportunities and enhance residents’ quality of life,” DiVincenzo said.
“One of the main features of the Park will be the Essex County Robert J. O’Toole Community Center, named for retired Mayor and Councilman Robert J. O’Toole. Mr. O’Toole has served his community for half a century and was a staunch advocate for limiting development on the property.
We can think of no more appropriate person after whom to name the building."
The new Essex County Cedar Grove Park will be 77 acres of open space situated along Fairview Avenue in Cedar Grove. There will be about two miles of walking paths through the park with historic lighting, benches and trash receptacles. The 15,000-square-foot Essex County Robert J. O’Toole Community Center, named for the retired Cedar Grove Mayor and Councilman Robert J. O’Toole, will be located on the eastern side of Fairview Avenue.
“I am really humbled and honored by all this.
I want to thank the County Executive for his promise of creating
a new park in Cedar Grove and for following through to ensure it happens.
This is a great honor,” Robert O’Toole said.
“My family and I are deeply honored to have the new
community center in Cedar Grove named after our father, Robert O’Toole.
Ever since moving his young family to Cedar Grove in 1962,
my father has devoted his life to service to our town.
We are deeply proud that his contributions to our beloved hometown will forever be immortalized on our new community center,” said Senator O’Toole.
The building will have a covered portico in front and a covered patio in the back. It is envisioned that the building will house a daily congregate meal program offered by the Essex County Division of Senior Citizens as well as be available for other community organizations to hold meetings and special events. In the rear of the building will be four bocce courts and a playground designed with a farming theme to connect to the history of the Essex County Hospital Center when there was a farm on the site to support the hospital.
“The preservation of open space is important to an area as developed as Essex County and Cedar Grove. We hope that individuals and families come here and enjoy this park,” Assemblyman Thomas P. Giblin said.
“I also want to pay my respects to Robert O’Toole.
When you look at him and his family, and their contributions to their township, county and state, naming this building after him is a fitting honor."
Other elected officials spoke highly of Mr. O’Toole and the lifetime of public service he provided to Cedar Grove and how the new park will become a resource for the township.
“You can see the great example of serving the community
that Mr. O’Toole instilled in his family,”
NJ State Senator and Deputy Chief of Staff Teresa Ruiz said.
“The 77-acre park preserves critical open space in a suburban neighborhood."
O’Toole served three terms as Mayor of Cedar Grove and three terms as Deputy Mayor during his 12 years on the Municipal Council. He retired from public office in 2015 after deciding not to seek re-election after serving three terms. One of his platform issues was preserving what was known as “Parcel 5” of the old Essex County Hospital Center on Fairview Avenue as open space. He worked diligently against the overdevelopment of Cedar Grove, to preserve as much of the hospital tract as open space.
“This is a great and well-deserved tribute to Mr. O’Toole,
who has been a great civic leader in Cedar Grove for many years,”
Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver said.
“Preserving this land as open space will benefit generations to come."
O'Toole also was a proponent of reducing local property taxes while providing quality services to keep Cedar Grove as an attractive and affordable place to reside; and promoting quality of life ordinances, including the creation of an “Animal House” ordinance to hold landlords responsible for rowdy tenants.
“It is with pride and pleasure that the Board of Freeholders
partners with the County Executive on projects such as this.
The creation of open space and protecting the environment
are important issues and this park is an example of different
levels of government working together for the betterment of the community,”
said Freeholder Vice President Brendan Gill.
Mr. O’Toole also has a lengthy resume of public service to the Township, working as a member of the Cedar Grove Volunteer Fire Department for 45 years, establishing and serving as a founding member on the Peckman River Regional Control Board to address flooding along the Peckman River; and serving on the Cedar Grove Historical Society, Board of Education, Senior Citizen Club and Planning Board, volunteering as a coach for Little League football and baseball teams, and being involved with St. Catherine of Siena Church, its school and its annual Carnival. He enlisted twice in the U.S. Army and served in Korea, and is a member of the Korean War Veterans Association and American Legion.
“Our Essex County parks have become sanctuaries.
They are important because people need tranquil places where they can
escape and relax,” Sheriff Armando Fontoura said.
“Mr. O’Toole has served his country honorably in the military
and through his community service to the township and the county."
The land which was the last remaining parcel from the old Essex County Hospital Center complex was slated to be sold to a private developer, but in 2008 the County Executive and the Board of Chosen Freeholders initiated a change in policy and decided to preserve the land as open space. A lengthy lawsuit involving the developer, the County and the Township was resolved in 2015 when a compromise was reached.
“Mr. O’Toole has truly left his mark on our community
and his name certainly has become synonymous with community service,”
Cedar Grove Mayor Joseph Chiusolo said.
“This community center will become the pulse of Cedar Grove
and it is a well-deserved honor for Mr. O’Toole,” added the Mayor,
who was joined by Cedar Grove Councilmen
Romeo Longo, Peter Tanella and Harry Kumburis.
The engineering firm of CME Associates from Parlin received a $650,000 contract to design the new park. JC Landscape Construction from Pequannock was awarded a publicly bid contract for $11.05 million to perform the construction work. The Essex County Department of Public Works will monitor the project and answer questions so that delays can be avoided. The project is being funded with a $5 million grant from the NJ Green Acres program, a grant from the Essex County Recreation and Open Space Trust Fund and the Essex County Capital Improvement Budget. It is scheduled to be completed by January 2017.
