Hazlet Hit By a Brief Tornado, Swim Club Opens This Weekend, Memorial Day Service Monday

Tornado Rips Through Hazlet
On Friday, May 20, an intense storm suddenly blew through our area. The next day, the National Weather Service said it was an EF-0 tornado. It was on the ground for just one minute, from 5:09 to 5:10 p.m. Its winds damaged over a dozen homes and numerous trees between the Strathmore section of Aberdeen and Hazlet. Nobody was reported injured or hurt. Read the detailed NWS report.

Straight winds splintered three telephone poles on Route 35 North, disrupting power to 112 Hazlet customers. On Parkview Drive there were two broken Verizon poles, impacting another 42 Hazlet customers. Verizon workers spent the weekend erecting new poles, with JCPL following up to hook up the power. It was a weekend of unusually hot temperatures in the 90s.   

Hazlet residents who have brush from the storm may place it at the curb for pick-up and call Hazlet Dept. of Public Works at 732-217-8654.

Hazlet's Princess Tea Party
Hazlet princesses enjoyed a lovely Princess Tea Party on Saturday, May 21. Hazlet Recreation welcomed the young ladies for a two-hour luncheon of cut up fruit, vegetables, sandwiches and sweets. They sipped fruit-infused water and lemonade. The children played special tea party games and got to meet Cinderella and Belle from "Beauty and the Beast."  The young princesses posed for many pictures. It was truly adorable.

Road Restoration Program Activity Picks Up, Committeeman Preston Takes Oath, Police Promoted

From Hazlet Township
May 20, 2022

Road Work Ahead 
Road work is underway in three Hazlet neighborhoods, as the Hazlet Township Committee's ambitious Road Restoration Program rolls on. 

On Monday, Lucas Brothers Contractors will start work on Hemlock and surrounding streets, off Union Avenue. Over by Cove Road School, JF Kiely Contractors is currently installing a new NJNG main on Monterey. S. Brothers General Contractors is busy behind Airport Plaza, in the neighborhoods of Wagon Road; and Coach, Surrey and Carriage Drives, installing storm water drainage system improvements. 

All of these areas will get new curbing and certain driveway aprons replaced as needed, as well as ADA compliant sidewalk ramps at intersections. The entire roadway surface will be milled and repaved and look brand new. 

"Residents can expect to see a lot of work being done, and they will be able to see their tax dollars at work," said Mayor Michael Sachs. 

Hazlet launched the Roadway Restoration Program in 2018 with a list of 110 municipal roads on the to-do list. 

Repairs began in 2019 and are being completed in phases, in coordination with NJNG utility work when possible. The work is partially funded by NJDOT Municipal Aid Grant Program and financing from a Monmouth County Community Development Block Grant. T& M Engineering is overseeing the work. 

 Information about current program activities can be found on the township website. Visit the Road Program section.

Memorial Day Ceremony Planned
Planning is underway for Hazlet's annual ceremony on Memorial Day to honor the sacrifices of those who gave all for our country's freedom. The event is at the Memorial Circle next to the Cullen Center, 1776 Union Avenue. The starting time will soon be announced.

Hazlet Township's shared moment of reflection is dignified, reverent and stunningly patriotic, with live music and over 100 banners hung throughout Veterans Park honoring our Hazlet Heroes. Attractive red, white and blue banners featuring the names and photos of town residents with military service will be displayed Memorial Day through Veterans Day. Once again, Provident Bank will sponsor the banners for all of Hazlet’s actively-serving military members and those of Hazlet citizens who have perished in service to our country. 

Last year over 300 attended the outdoor ceremony. Hazlet Recreation volunteers will offer light refreshments inside the Cullen Center following the ceremony. 

Town Hall Employees Welcome Friday Visitors
Town Hall returned to a 5-day schedule on Friday, May 6, following a decision by the Township Committee to  provide more convenience to citizens. Previously, the Municipal Building operated Monday through Thursday and was closed Friday.

The first person through the doors at 8:15 a.m. Friday was Lou Gualtieri of Little Silver, owner of Two River Builders, who was looking to schedule a footing inspection for a project in Hazlet. About 30 others came in throughout the day to make tax payments, sign up for the Swim Club, drop off  forms to the Clerk's Office or visit the building and zoning department. Amanda Robinson of Hazlet was following up on a deck permit. "Friday is usually the day I have down time and I'm less busy at work, so it's convenient that Town Hall is open,"  she said.

Town Hall is located at 1766 Union Avenue. Weekday hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Recognition for Champion High School Wrestling Team
Mayor Michael Sachs and the Township Committee welcomed the Raritan High School Wrestling Team to Tuesday night's government meeting to congratulate the Varsity Team on winning the NJSIAA Group 2 State Championship with a 22-6 season. The mayor read a proclamation and called out the name of each Raritan Rocket to offer them a copy and a handshake.

Head Coach Robert Nucci thanked the governing body, and also thanked RHS Athletic Director John DeGenito, in the audience, on behalf of the wrestlers, statistics keepers, managers and coaches. 

Nucci told the Township Committee there is no greater community for athletics than Hazlet Township, and shared a story about the team's return home on Feb. 13 after their big win.

"We won a state championship at Franklin High School, and we got off at the exit at 117. There was probably about 10 police vehicles waiting for us, with 10 fire vehicles, and they drove us down Middle Road horns a-blasting. There was probably about 250 people waiting for us in the (high school) parking lot." 

Gesturing to the proclamation, Nucci said, "This is really capping things off. Thanks for recognizing the boys and girls."
