Lawmakers Criticize Ciba Deal
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – The State Senate and Assembly members that oversee Toms River said that the proposed Ciba-Geigy settlement does not go far enough to protect residents from development or to punish the corporation for its poisoning of local land and waters.

By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – It is always rewarding to get a ‘thank you.’ Township police recently got just that from a man whose life they saved in 2016 when he recently visited the police station. Dale Dexter stopped by police headquarters on the afternoon of December 20, 2022 to meet, in person, the two officers he credits with saving his life following a heroin induced overdose at approximately 6:30 a.m., on February 10, 2016. The officers who responded to the scene
and rendered aid were Patrolman (now Detective) Michael Guarino and Patrolman Jason Wiener. Upon arrival, they found Dexter unresponsive, with a low pulse rate and shallow breathing. Upon assessment of his condition, the officers immediately performed life-saving measures to include the administration of Naloxone (Narcan). Shortly after the administration of Naloxone, members of Manchester First Aid (Squad 29)/ Paramedics arrived and assumed ongoing care for Dexter. (Thanks - See Page 4)
