Rest in Peace, Christy Davis Jackson

[ad_1]

Christy Davis Jackson​ transitioned over the Thanksgiving Holiday ​after facing a series of medical-related ailments.

​Christy was the beloved wife of AME Bishop Reginald T. Jackson; mother to Seth Joshua; step mother to Regina Victoria; former Supervisor of the Sixth Episcopal District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME); a dear friend to so many across the states of Georgia, New Jersey, and Ohio; and a national figure in the fight for equity, civil rights, and equal rights​.

Christy worked tirelessly to forge partnerships among the public, private and faith sectors, and to help government reach its potential as a force for policies that improve people’s lives.

In her early professional career, Christy served as the legal counsel and Chief of Staff for State Senator Wynona M. Lipman, who was the first African American woman elected to the state Senate in New Jersey.  She went on to serve various organizations and institutions throughout the Garden State, including as Senator Frank Lautenberg’s State Director and Chair of Jon Corzine’s senatorial campaign. She continued her professional career developing education, workforce and economic development, and health polices as the Founder of City Strategy Group and a Principal at BusDev Solutions.

From 2012 to 2016, she served with her husband in the AME’s 20th Episcopal District, which includes Malawi, Zimbabwe, the northern portion of Mozambique, Tanzania, and Uganda.

In 2016, Christy relocated to Georgia to once again work alongside her husband as Supervisor for the Sixth Episcopal District (AME).  In that role, she led the statewide organizational and operational activities for the AMEs and its 534 churches across the state, directed the Women’s Missionary Society in the state of Georgia, fought to strengthen the voice of women within the Church, and served as advisor and strategist to her husband.

This August, Bishop Jackson and Supervisor Jackson were chosen to lead the Second Episcopal District, which includes the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina.

Bishop Jackson, Regina, and Seth would like to thank the outpouring of love, prayers, and support shared over the last few hours.  At this time, funeral arrangements have not been finalized. Thank you.

Morris County’s 2024 Open Space Recommendations – Morris County, NJ

[ad_1]

Published on November 07, 2024

Grants Submitted for Sites in Denville, Madison Borough and Mendham Township

Drew Forst, Morris County NJ Morris County’s Open Space Trust Fund Committee recommended that the Board of County Commissioners approve $1.8 million to acquire and preserve a total of 65.2 acres in 2024 Open Space projects during the board’s public work session last night in Morristown.

The recommendations for preservation cover properties in Denville, Mendham Township and Madison Borough, and range in size from 3.5 to 51 acres.

“Supporting programs like this is a vital part of our role as the Morris County Board of Commissioners. With strong public backing, each year we carefully review how to best utilize our open space funding, whether it’s preserving natural areas, restoring historic sites or expanding our trail systems to ensure Morris County remains a place where people love to live, work, and play,” said Commissioner Deputy Director Stephen Shaw, the Board’s liaison to the Morris County Office of Planning and Preservation.

“Since 1994, we’ve preserved more than 18,300 acres of open space, which is an area larger than the Township of Parsippany, reflecting our commitment to protecting and enhancing the quality of life for all residents,” Shaw continued.

The Commissioners will make a formal decision later this year on whether to accept the recommendations.

“Each year, we carefully review applications and visit the properties to decide whether to recommend a trust fund grant to the Commissioner Board,” said Jay Thomson, chair of the 15-member Morris County Open Space Trust Fund Committee who presented the recommendations to the Commissioners.

Funding for the program comes from the voter-approved Morris County Open Space and Farmland Preservation Trust Fund, which is generated by a special county tax.  The funding source is also used for farmland preservation, county parkland acquisition, historic preservation, trail construction and the purchase of residential properties prone to flooding.

The 2024 Open Space Recommendations

Jonathan’s Woods Extension on the Whitney Property, located in Denville Township which encompasses 3.5 acres and is being proposed for a $265,000 grant award. The applicant is Protect our Wetlands, Waters, Woods and the property is contiguous to the 430 plus acre Jonathan’s Woods, which was acquired in 2000 through a combination of municipal, state, and county trust fund dollars. Over the past 20 years, the Morris County Park Commission also acquired several smaller parcels off Hillcrest Drive. The Whitney Property, situated at the end of Hillcrest Drive, represents one of the largest remaining tracts of land to be acquired for the Jonathan’s Woods conservation area.

The Schiff Preserve Addition, known as Civille, located in Mendham Township, spans 11 acres and is proposed for a $447,234 grant award. The applicant is the Raritan Headwaters Association. Positioned at the Somerset County border, the Schiff Preserve Addition features the North Branch of the Raritan River along its eastern boundary, with a conservation easement in place to protect the Category One waters and steep slopes. Once acquired, the property will be transferred to the Schiff Natural Lands Trust, expanding their existing Nature Preserve. The land will be managed for conservation and passive recreational purposes.

The Drew Forest Project, located in and applied for by Madison Borough, covers 51 acres and is recommended for a $1,087,766 grant award. This forest plays a critical role as an aquifer recharge area for the Buried Valley Aquifer, which supplies water to 31 towns across three counties. The forest also includes steep slope areas and serves as a habitat for the endangered Indiana Bat. In addition, Drew University students use the Zuck Arboretum and Hepburn Woods within the forest as outdoor ecological classrooms. In 2023, the project received a $5 million grant from Morris County, marking the first dedicated funding for its preservation.

Atlantic City dominates Golfweek’s List of Best Courses in New Jersey By Brad King

[ad_1]

Atlantic City further cemented its status as one of the East Coast’s premier golf destinations with four of New Jersey’s top six courses and half of the top 10 in Golfweek’s 2015 “Best Courses You Can Play” rankings.

Topping the charts yet again is venerable Atlantic City Country Club, one of the nation’s great-granddaddies of clubs. Anyone interested in the game’s history should waste no time teeing it up on the 6,577-yard classic (most recently restored by renowned designer Tom Doak shortly after its 100th birthday). The club’s rich background alone, the birthplace of the birdie, makes it one of the great destination courses in the East, though its current 18-hole layout and spectacular setting along Lakes Bay (named for Simon Lake, the inventor of the modern submarine) overlooking the Atlantic City skyline are both on par to its history. And the golf experience only improves in 2015 with newly restored greenside bunkers on Holes 4, 6, 8, 12, 15 and 17, a new halfway house and a significant clubhouse renovation.

Twisted Dune – possibly the most visually striking golf course in the Atlantic City golf arsenal – maintains its No. 3 position. With its inland links representation, if you were sent blindfolded to any course in the state, this is the one that you’d recognize by its name most readily. That’s because every hole is so dramatic, you have nowhere to turn but in circles. One local pro described it as the spot where “Phoenix meets Scotland.” Twisted Dunes is a links style course with twisting landscapes, dramatic elevations, and contoured fairways. It is a challenging, yet supremely playable, 18-hole design.
Designer Archie Struthers moved two million cubic yards of earth to bring this remarkable course to fruition; creating a true taste of the Scottish Coast, right along the Jersey Shore.

Shore Gate Golf Club surges three spots to No. 4 as the only course in the area designed by the California architect firm of Ron Fream and David Dale, who provided a different feel than most courses in the Northeast. Though situated only a couple of miles from the beach, the landscape at Shore Gate is surprisingly diverse. “Everything they’ve done, they’ve done well,” said general manager Harry Bittner said of the design team. “The whole goal was to build a golf course that was pretty dramatic and different to give people something special – something they will remember. They had a really great piece of land with which to work.”

No. 6 Ballamor Golf Club, formerly a private course in Egg Harbor Township, is a broad-shouldered layout designed by Dan Schlegel of Ault, Clark & Associates. Schlegel carved his 7,098-yard, par-72 creation out of dense woods and laid a wonderful collection of holes over gently rolling land. Brawny bunkering and waste areas, waving fescue in the rough and plenty of water keeps golfers honest. The putting surfaces are very large – in some cases three clubs large – with heaving undulations and multiple tiers.

No. 10 Sand Barrens Golf Club, located in close proximity to Shore Gate, is another notable design by Dana Fry and Dr. Michael Hurdzan. It was back in the winter of 1996 when the talented twosome was simultaneously working on a desert course out west and walking this land situated among the pine trees of coastal New Jersey. Digging down into the soil with a backhoe, Fry struck what he was looking for – sand, and quite a bit of it too. So, instead of designing a typical green, parkland-style golf course, he decided to bring the sand up from the earth and turn Sand Barrens into the “closest thing you’ll find to a desert course in this neck of the woods.” Today, three really strong nines put Sand Barrens at the front of the class and still the only 27-hole facility in the area.

To build Golfweek’s list, an experienced team of more than 700 evaluators rated each public layout on the basis of 10 criteria, including routing, conditioning, variety and memorability of holes. The result is an average of scores that dictate a course’s overall ranking. The number of courses per state varies on this list based on the course supply, population and level of play in each state. Visit www.Golfweek.com/GolfweeksBest to view the complete list of Golfweek’s Best Courses You Can Play.

The word is quickly getting out that golf groups can visit Atlantic City and expect top-rated golf courses, hotels and casinos options, along with the best nightlife and fantastic restaurants. Learn more about all 17 Atlantic City courses and book your golf getaway at www.PlayACGolf.com.

How New Jersey Will Be Affected by Trump’s Environmental Rollbacks

As President-elect Donald Trump prepares for a second term, one of his primary goals is to scale back environmental regulations that he believes hinder economic growth. Trump’s deregulatory agenda includes significant cuts to rules on climate change, air quality, water protection, and more. His nomination of Lee Zeldin to head the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) signals that the administration intends to accelerate the process of dismantling environmental protections. While business groups and conservative leaders applaud this agenda, states like New Jersey, which have made substantial efforts to combat climate change and pollution, are gearing up for a battle to protect their environmental standards.

New Jersey has long been a leader in environmental protection, particularly in its efforts to combat climate change, clean up pollution, and safeguard its water and air quality. As Trump’s administration seeks to roll back federal regulations, New Jersey is expected to face several challenges. The state is preparing to defend its stringent environmental policies and could be forced to take legal action to preserve protections that directly impact its residents and industries.

Impact of Trump’s Deregulatory Agenda on New Jersey

  1. Climate Change and Clean Energy Protections New Jersey has been at the forefront of addressing climate change through policies such as its participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) and the adoption of the Global Warming Response Act, which set ambitious goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Trump’s rollback of federal climate rules, including limits on power plant emissions and methane leaks from oil and gas operations, could directly undermine these efforts.While New Jersey has made significant strides in reducing its carbon footprint, Trump’s deregulatory push could impede the progress that the state has made. If federal regulations are weakened, New Jersey’s leaders may need to rely even more heavily on state-level initiatives to ensure continued progress. This could include further strengthening emission standards, investing in clean energy technologies, and potentially implementing stronger policies to combat methane leaks from oil and gas operations.
  2. Automotive Emissions Standards and California Waivers A major focus of Trump’s first term was his attempt to strip California of its ability to set stricter auto emissions standards, which are followed by several other states, including New Jersey. The state has adopted California’s emissions standards for light-duty vehicles, as these standards are more stringent than federal rules. If Trump’s administration successfully revokes California’s waivers under the Clean Air Act, it could disrupt New Jersey’s efforts to reduce air pollution from vehicles.New Jersey, which is one of the states that follows California’s stricter vehicle emission standards, may be forced to challenge such actions in court. If Trump’s EPA attempts to revoke these waivers, New Jersey would likely be a key player in defending the state’s ability to set its own emissions standards, which are vital for improving air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
  3. Water Protection and PFAS (Forever Chemicals) New Jersey has long been committed to safeguarding its water resources, especially in the wake of contamination crises such as those in Newark, where lead in drinking water became a major issue. Additionally, the state has been addressing the growing concern over PFAS, a class of chemicals found in a variety of consumer products that have been linked to serious health risks. New Jersey has taken proactive steps to regulate PFAS contamination, setting drinking water standards that are stricter than those at the federal level.If Trump’s administration weakens regulations surrounding PFAS or other water quality protections, New Jersey could face significant challenges in maintaining its own standards. Given the growing concern about “forever chemicals,” state officials in New Jersey are likely to continue pushing for stronger protections at the state level. Environmental groups in New Jersey, such as the New Jersey Environmental Federation, are also expected to play a key role in advocating for these safeguards, potentially pushing for state laws that go beyond federal regulations.
  4. Oil and Gas Drilling and Offshore Leases Trump’s administration is expected to ramp up oil drilling on public lands and cancel funding for clean energy projects, including offshore wind energy development. For New Jersey, this could be particularly problematic, as the state has invested heavily in offshore wind energy to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and combat climate change. Trump’s focus on expanding fossil fuel extraction could undermine New Jersey’s efforts to transition to renewable energy.New Jersey has been working to expand its offshore wind capacity, with several projects already in the pipeline. If federal policies favoring fossil fuel extraction are strengthened under Trump’s second term, New Jersey could face challenges in ensuring that its offshore wind initiatives are not obstructed. State leaders may need to take a more aggressive stance to protect these projects and continue the shift toward clean energy.

New Jersey’s Legal and Legislative Responses

As with other states, New Jersey is likely to fight back through a combination of legal challenges and state-level legislation. New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin could be one of the key figures in leading legal battles against Trump’s deregulatory actions. New Jersey has a history of filing lawsuits to protect its environmental policies, and it is expected to continue this tradition, particularly if the federal government attempts to dismantle protections related to climate change, air quality, or water safety.

New Jersey lawmakers are also preparing to pass new state laws to fill any gaps left by weakened federal regulations. For example, the state could seek to adopt stronger emission standards for vehicles, enforce stricter water quality controls, and create new protections for endangered species and habitats that could be impacted by federal rollbacks. Given the state’s commitment to environmental sustainability, New Jersey lawmakers will likely take a proactive approach to safeguard the state’s natural resources, even if it means conflicting with the federal government.

The Road Ahead

New Jersey is entering a period of uncertainty as it braces for the potential consequences of Trump’s deregulatory agenda. With a strong commitment to climate action and environmental protection, the state will face significant challenges in defending its policies. However, New Jersey has a long history of environmental advocacy and is likely to continue its legal and legislative battles to ensure that its residents have access to clean air, water, and a safe environment.

As the Trump administration moves forward with its deregulatory plans, the coming years will likely see a heightened focus on state-level actions in New Jersey and other states that prioritize environmental protection. The state’s efforts to fight back through the courts, legislative action, and continued investment in clean energy could shape the future of environmental policy in New Jersey and beyond, creating a complex and dynamic landscape of state-federal relations in environmental law.

4o mini

One of his central promises is to significantly reduce environmental regulations, particularly those governing climate change, air quality, and water protection. His deregulatory agenda includes rolling back federal rules on everything from auto emissions and power plant pollution to drinking water standards. Trump has nominated Lee Zeldin to head the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), emphasizing that Zeldin will expedite the rollback of regulations to stimulate American business.

Business groups and Republican leaders have largely supported Trump’s environmental plans, arguing that stringent regulations harm economic growth. However, in states that have taken significant action to combat climate change and pollution, attorneys general and lawmakers are already preparing for battle. They plan to challenge these rollbacks through lawsuits, enacting state-level regulations, and increasing staffing at state environmental agencies.

California, in particular, has been at the forefront of this effort. The state has already been tested by Trump’s first term, during which his administration attempted to undo more than 100 environmental rules. Many of these rollbacks were blocked by courts after legal challenges. California Attorney General Rob Bonta, whose office was involved in many of these cases, warned that Trump’s administration would likely continue to break the law in its deregulatory push. Bonta has requested additional resources for his office to ensure that California is prepared for the ongoing legal battles that are expected to intensify in the coming years.

One area of particular concern is California’s special waivers under the Clean Air Act, which allow the state to set stricter auto emissions standards than the federal government. This issue was a central focus during Trump’s first term, when his administration attempted to revoke these waivers. Environmental advocates fear that a conservative-leaning U.S. Supreme Court could rule in favor of these rollbacks, which would affect not just California but also other states that follow its emissions standards.

In addition to challenges to California’s authority over auto emissions, Trump’s second term is expected to target other environmental regulations, such as power plant emissions, methane leaks from oil and gas operations, and restrictions on PFAS (forever chemicals). Environmental groups are concerned that these rollbacks would reverse progress made under the Biden administration, particularly in the fight against climate change.

States have responded by preparing to enact their own protections. For example, California previously considered a bill that would have provided state-level protections for endangered species in the event that Trump’s administration weakened federal protections. While that bill did not pass, there is renewed interest in similar state-level protections as Trump’s second term approaches. States could also seek to set stricter standards on water quality and other environmental issues, using state law to “backstop” weakened federal protections.

Environmental advocates expect a prolonged and intense legal struggle, with many states gearing up for a sustained defense of their environmental laws. They argue that states will continue to push for stronger environmental protections, regardless of federal actions, because the demand for clean air, water, and environmental safety remains high. Additionally, as Trump is expected to cut funding and staffing for the EPA, states may need to shoulder more of the responsibility for monitoring and enforcing environmental regulations.

In states like Massachusetts, lawmakers have expressed concerns that staffing shortages at both the state and federal levels could hamper efforts to protect the environment. Massachusetts state Senator Jamie Eldridge emphasized the need for state agencies to pick up the slack if federal cuts occur. Other states, like New York, have also struggled with insufficient resources to implement environmental safeguards, and they may need to bolster their agencies to meet the growing challenges posed by Trump’s deregulatory agenda.

In short, the coming years will likely see a continuation of the “trench warfare” in the courts between state governments and the federal administration over environmental protections. States will continue to pursue aggressive legal strategies, enact their own regulations, and fight to protect their environmental standards, creating a complex and contentious battle over the future of U.S. environmental policy.

Split Level Concerts presents Griffin House at the Jersey Shore Arts Center on December 21st

[ad_1]

originally published: 12/01/2024

(OCEAN GROVE, NJ) — Critically acclaimed singer/songwriter and storyteller Griffin House will perform at the Jersey Shore Arts Center in Ocean Grove on Saturday, December 21, 2024 as part of the Split Level Concerts series. Touring and making records for over 20 years, Griffin House has a discography that includes more than 15 albums and EPs. New Jersey native Cranston Dean will open the show. Showtime is 8:00pm.

Griffin House’s 2004 album, “Lost and Found,” was featured on CBS Sunday Morning by music critic and then Vice President of MTV/VH1, Bill Flanagan, who named House one of the best emerging singer-songwriters of our time. After forging a loyal fan base through years of grassroots touring as an opener for acts such as John Mellencamp and the Cranberries, House broke through as a national headliner in 2009 with an appearance on Late Night with Craig Ferguson and the release of his underground hit “The Guy That Says Goodbye to You is Out of His Mind.” The music documentary “Rising Star,” released on Amazon Prime in 2019, chronicles House’s journey through the music business, as he attempts to balance the challenges of life as a traveling modern-day troubadour with marriage, fatherhood and sobriety.

House’s music has been featured on prime-time television shows such One Tree Hill, Rescue Me, Party of Five, and Everwood, and reviewed in magazines such as Paste, No Depression and Rolling Stone. American Songwriter wrote “if you want to be blown away by raw talent, look no further than Griffin House.” His latest releases are 2023’s “The Tides,” a five song EP recorded with Grammy Award-winning producer Jacquire King, and “Summer Dream,” a three song EP released earlier this year.

Opener Cranston Dean is a New Jersey native with an ancient New England soul. His music draws from Americana, folk, jazz, country, blues and pop to translate and transform the human condition into beautiful works of art. The singer/songwriter has been a featured artist in clubs throughout the Jersey Shore (especially Asbury Park) including The Wonder Bar, The Stone Pony, Asbury Park Yacht Club, and others. He has shared stages with River City Extension, Simone Felice, Rayland Baxter, Nicole Atkins, Nora Jane Struthers, Julie Rhodes, and more.

Advance tickets are $30 and are available for purchase online.  The show is part of the on-going Split Level Concert Series which highlights renowned Americana and contemporary folk musicians in a uniquely intimate setting. The Jersey Shore Arts Center is located at 66 S. Main Street in Ocean Grove, New Jersey.

Manasquan wins in the mud vs. Wall – Star News Group

[ad_1]

MANASQUAN – The Manasquan football team added another memorable chapter to its Thanksgiving tradition on Thursday, defeating rival Wall 13-7 at Vic Kubu Warrior Field.

The game was played rainy, muddy conditions and even when the rain stopped in the second half the field had become a quagmire.

Manasquan went into the game with a record of 5-5, while the Crimson Knights were 8-2. The Warriors had lost to three division opponents that Wall defeated by a combined 73 points.

The Warriors not only overcame the playing conditions, but also the loss of their top offensive player, junior running back Ace Etienne, who suffered a serious leg injury early in the game. Etienne, who came into the game with 18 touchdowns, was hurt on a hard tackle along the sidelines midway through the first quarter.

Dylan Lu set the tone for the remainder of the game for the Warriors, jumping on a missed Wall lateral pass in the end zone for a Manasquan touchdown.

While the Warriors managed to establish a running game behind the Manasquan offensive line and running backs Lu and Dax Klein, the Crimson Knight offense could literally never get its footing.

A one-yard quarterback keeper by Matt Antonucci on fourth down gave Manasquan a 13-0 lead at the half.

Manasquan held the lead until late in the fourth quarter when Brian McKenna connected with Heath Reinhardt for a 31-yard touchdown with 1:54 left in the fourth quarter.

The Crimson Knights would get one final chance at a comeback after recovering a Warriors fumble, but the Manasquan defense again made a stop locking up a memorable victory.
