71
00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:53.760
there that you're just really trying to ignite the um the youth of our community. It's just really you haven't had the opportunity to go inside. I don't know when we can again. They had the open house already. Maybe they'll have another one. But it's just

72
00:25:53.760 --> 00:26:09.919
a it's this as big as a like a junior college over here. And it's just it's so fun. like all the kids are friendly and you can tell that they love being there except for one kid one that didn't want to come in when we first got there but you know it's a it's a good a really great environment and they're doing a

73
00:26:09.919 --> 00:26:26.960
great job here um wanted to share with everyone about the composting event. There was one today um held but there will be another one on Wednesday June 17th. Um it's at the Cameron County Parks building. So, it's like when you're heading into Cherry Hill, that

74
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:43.919
parks building that's off to the side here. Um, they're teaching composting and the benefits of it and how to increase your nutrient soil for your garden. So, if you're interested in composting, here is the information there. Um, one of my favorite holidays

75
00:26:43.919 --> 00:26:58.880
is coming up next Friday, which is Junth. And you know, every year I talk about Junth and the importance of it and especially nowadays because a lot is being done to kind of erase um history and and moving books out of libraries

76
00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:14.559
and um not accrediting certain courses in college and things like that. And as I've always said, you know, all of this is a tapestry of America, right? We're all our history is important here. We all have come here from somewhere else and we've all played a role in making

77
00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:31.200
America as what it is today. And so I I encourage you that on next week, next Friday, if you're off for next Saturday, all around there's tons and tons of Juke Camp events um that you can go and hear the storytelling and hear the music and

78
00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:48.480
experience the food. Um Junth, if you're not aware, um during the emancipation of 1865, Gallatton, Texas was the last place in the United States to find out that they were no longer enslaved. It took two years for the message to reach them. So imagine working in a hot heat

79
00:27:48.480 --> 00:28:04.320
in July in Gon, Texas. And if anybody knows about Texas, it's it's a very interesting place in the summertime. Working in fields and someone riding over and telling you that you were free and that you had been free for two years. So, you know, so every year at

80
00:28:04.320 --> 00:28:20.480
Galveston and even before they really started to talk about Junth here, when I was in college, my girlfriend went to the University of Houston and they Junth was like the biggest deal in Texas because they realized how important it was. So, it's not just about I'm not

81
00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:36.480
African-American, so I don't celebrate Junth or I don't believe in that or it's made up. It's not made up. Someone did ask me one time, was it real? You know, was it a real thing? And yes, it was. So I encourage everybody to embrace it and if you can find events there in Cherry

82
00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:54.840
Hill Township here events all over next weekend lawn side will be happy just to go out and experience it and just read a little bit about it and find out find out more. So that's all I have here. Thank you. You're welcome.

83
00:28:55.840 --> 00:29:12.960
That sure was always a tough act. Gosh. Good evening everybody. Uh just to give a little something. June 18th is the last day of school with Lyndon Walls and we're so proud that Lynon Walls High School graduation is

84
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:28.799
June 18th also at 6:30 p.m. Just to let you know that there was a mandate from former New Jersey Governor Bill Murphy's uh signed a state law requiring local boards of education to enact bailtoail

85
00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:44.559
cell phone policies in all K12 public schools. The timeline is the mandate officially takes effect statewide at the start of the 2026 2027 school year. Also to tell you about

86
00:29:44.559 --> 00:30:01.840
the bell to bell no cell policy. The bell-to-bell no cell policy requires students to keep their personal devices, smartphones, smart watches, and earbuds turned off and stored away for the entire school

87
00:30:01.840 --> 00:30:20.880
day. From the first bell to the last, it is part of a sweeping movement to reduce digital distractions and improve adolescent mental health. Lord knows we can improve that allow exceptions are devices permitted

88
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:36.960
to are permitted for students who require them for documented medical health reasons or as part of five or more plan or IEP. Also note that the state has enrolled out phone free school grants to assist

89
00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:53.039
districts in purchasing device storage solutions. Also note, devices must be turned off and stored away for the entire school day, including during passing periods and lunch. Districts have local control over how phones are

90
00:30:53.039 --> 00:31:12.159
stored, such as lockers, backpacks, or specialized magnetic locking pouches. >> That's it. >> Thank you. Thank you, Mary. I would like to give a brief history report and share some updates. Last

91
00:31:12.159 --> 00:31:26.880
month I visited the welcoming festival that was very fun time. We attended with a group met friends and enjoyed the opportunity to connect with local history and community. It is always a good time when we can come together and

92
00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:43.600
experience these moments as a dream. We also visited Mona Hall and I was honestly taken back by the depiction of how life was live in this area long ago. I won't go into too much details about that tonight, but it was a very

93
00:31:43.600 --> 00:32:00.640
meaningful and eye opening visit. I do encourage others to consider joining us in August for our next visit. Our next research visit will be held June 24th uh at the Camp County Historic Society and we should be gearing up to organize

94
00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:16.320

95
00:32:16.320 --> 00:32:30.960

96
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:52.960

102
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:46.159
Okay, at this time open meeting to the public for any questions or comments. >> Hello, my name is Tom. I live at 2:13 and I've been here probably four times in the last six months. It's talking

103
00:34:46.159 --> 00:35:04.880
about the same problem which is on property at 211 sites. I'm here because I said I would be here if nothing happened on your promise to clean it up.

104
00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:20.560
What has happened in the last month is your subcontractor showed up for a couple days and never returned. All right. So the situation is the same as it was a month ago, two months ago,

105
00:35:20.560 --> 00:35:37.520
six months ago. All right. The property needs to be cleaned up. And I'm sure if this property was next to any of your homes, you would want it cleaned up also. And what I'm asking is where do we go

106
00:35:37.520 --> 00:35:53.440
from here? Does it have to go to superior court? Because it don't seem like anything's happening with the burrow or anything they want to do is happen. All right. I

107
00:35:53.440 --> 00:36:10.079
spend a good portion of my day taking bamboo up from my property which has come over from this property and Maybe 85 years old. Little tough with a shovel digging the roots of a bamboo so

108
00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:25.119
it doesn't hit the foundation of my house. Doesn't hit my drain field. Doesn't hit my set system. All right. Need some help like I asked in January

109
00:36:25.119 --> 00:36:42.240
for some help with the issue. And can't we work along and do this? I I don't have a lot of money and I can afford to go to litigation, but I can take the next step to get to an attorney,

110
00:36:42.240 --> 00:36:58.320
which which I did. Sent you a letter about the problem. All right. So, everybody here knows copies of that letter here for everybody several months ago. So what I need now is

111
00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:19.040
what are you going to do? All right. The next step has to be before each other. That's it. That's all I have to say. I need need you to work along with me. I'm working along with you to get your

112
00:37:19.040 --> 00:37:35.359
dumpster into this property. They have to go across my property because there's only a 10 foot wide driveway that goes back to your property. All right. So, I'm giving

113
00:37:35.359 --> 00:37:52.400
permission for your subcontractor to bring dumpsters in across my other property and I'm working along with you, but you guys don't work with me. So, I know you're going to say, "Oh,

114
00:37:52.400 --> 00:38:10.160
six months now to do something. That's where I'm at." Okay. Um, did you call public works when the guy didn't come back after the second day? >> What's that? >> Did you call public works when it was when they didn't come back?

115
00:38:10.160 --> 00:38:25.359
>> Did you call public works when they didn't come back? and you didn't do anything >> but >> I don't know whether I should you have code enforcers who go out and look and

116
00:38:25.359 --> 00:38:45.359
look at subcontractors at least >> this is all being done through public works I will call tomorrow and find out why go back out and check this month >> and sir we have cleaned the property

117
00:38:45.359 --> 00:39:08.480
a number of times. It's my job. It's not my job to call the police. It's my job to call public. It's my job to call the code enforcer. And I've done all of the code enfor I do I have to do every day.

118
00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:25.839
>> You know, >> it shouldn't be on me. You know, I'm 85 years old. I only got so much time left. I can't spend >> Excuse me one second, sir. You want to put that recording down? There's only one recorder allowed in here. It's only

119
00:39:25.839 --> 00:40:05.119
