By Bob Vosseller M A NCH EST ER – Move ove r CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, etc., KLVW is on the air. It has actually been b r o a d c a s t i ng lo c a l shows for quite a while and those involved aren’t worried about ratings, they are too busy being involved with providing unique pro-
grams to viewers of Leisure Village West. Residents of Leisure Village West can tune in to channel 975 for some hyper local programming and some classic fi lms that have fallen into public domain use. The senior community is unique in having a studio that allows for
some very specialized programs tailored to the demographics of their development. Bill Johnson is the cinematographer and senior editor at the station. Michael Blank and Michael Morizio are also key members of the station’s staff. Morizio said the station “actually started
in the 70s when the Village started. Originally, they did one show a week as the old cable service only provided one closed circuit channel which we had to share with the a n nou ncements of slides that tell you when the meetings are and so forth. The TV station was actually like a television club that produced one half hour show a week that aired six times during the week on that one channel.” He said that in 2018, “we got Fios as our cable provider and they provided us with six channels.

Police Want Change At Major Intersection
By Bob Vosseller MANCHESTER – During a recent Township Council meeting Police Chief Antonio Ellis provided an overview on traffic safety issues within the community. “Route 571 and Route 70 is a major intersection in town and we’ve identified it over several years as being a high use location. Officers have been conducting a study and by looking at the types of crashes specifically - and the causation of those crashes - we’ve determined it to be more of at the end of those light circles, left turns or when traffic is trying to go through the intersection when someone is trying to turn left at the last minute.” Chief Ellis added, “with council’s support we put in a report to the county and also to the state because it is a state road. We have put in a request to improve the timing at that intersection.” Other changes will be recommended to prevent the traffic from backing up too much. He said a request went into install a traffic camera at that intersection “because when you have a crash occur it is sometimes difficult to see who has the right of way at the time of the incident. Having a camera there, you can actually look at that camera in real time. We currently have three cameras in town, one at Colonial and Route 37, Northampton and Route 37 and 539 and Route 70. We can review that data and relay that to the state after a crash occurs and figure out what

Residents Concerned Local Holocaust Survivors About Cannabis Shop Share Their Stories
By Bob Vosseller LAKEHURST – During a recent Borough Council meeting, a few residents noted some concerns about “having a (cannabis) dispensary in our back yard. We were never informed that this was approved for a dispensary.” Mayor Harry Robbins responded, “what happens is they purchased the property. They don’t have a state license yet but what
has to happen is that they have to go through and get approvals on things - parking spaces, the layout, the whole nine yards.” Then, the property owners are only required to notify people who live within 200 feet of that building, he said. “That is the law. That is how it is.” “At that time, all the residents who live out there can come and (Cannabis - See Page 5)

a stark reminder of the horrors inflicted upon millions during one of history’s darkest chapters. Both women, now residents of the same Toms River senior village, were mere child ren when the world er upted into chaos. Their stories, while different in detail, share a common thread of unimaginable suffering and resilience.
Gela Buchbinder At 99 years old, Gela Buchbinder is a tiny woman with a spark of feistiness that likely helped her survive as a teenager. Her life, as part of a family of six, took a dramatic turn in 1939 when the Nazis invaded their hometown of Sosnowiec, Poland. Gela was only fourteen at the time. (Holocaust - See Page 7)
