Nate: Chronic Illness activities in dental health will be found in the Dental Health Program report in the Division of Constructive Health. (9) You Are Viewing an Archived Copy from the New Jersey State Library Division of Chronic Illness Control Alcoholism Sen'ices 3,889 individual patients were reached directly during the year by services sponsored by the Alcoholism Program. 2)269 persons were seen in the nine treatment centers located in com­ munity general hospitals. 1,106 persons attended weekly group meetings in four tuberculosis hospitals, one county jail, and a county workhouse. In addition to the treatment centers, the Program also supports two alcoholism information, referral, and counseling centers. One of these centers is located in a family service agency, and the second operates as a part of the services offered by a multi-service voluntary agency. During the year, these two centers worked with 514 alcoholics, families of alcoholics, clergymen and employers who requested help for themselves or someone with whom they were closely associated. These individuals made a total of 1,007 visits to the two centers; and, in addition, the centers handled 1,941 telephone inquiries, many of which resulted in the alcoholic coming to the center and eventually being referred to the proper resource for help. In an attempt to determine effectiveness in treatment, a subjective evalua­ tion of those individuals treated in the out-patient treatment centers was made. The degree of rehabilitation was based on the drinking habits of the individual when treatment started and at the end of the year, as well as his employment record, physical health, social and family adjustment. The results were as follows: 57 percent showed marked or reasonable improvement; 15 percent showed no improvement ; 28 percent were lost to follow-up. During the year, it was necessary to discontinue temporarily one of the treatment centers because of lack of personnel. The shortage of well-trained social workers to staff the treatment centers continues to be a major problem. However, in this instance, concern is not so great, since there is a part-time out-patient treatment center in another community hospital in the same town. A more recent adjustment to this problem of qualified social workers is being tried by using a master's degree level clinical psychologist to work in the clinics. This is being attempted in only one clinic where a vacancy for a (11) You Are Viewing an Archived Copy from the New Jersey State Library 12 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH social worker existed for almost a year; part-time coverage was being provided by the social work consultant in the Program. Thus far, the psychologist is working out very well, with close consultation from the social work consultant. Although it is recognized that additional services are needed throughout the state, it does not seem feasible to promote further out-patient clinic development until the personnel problem is resolved. Educational Activities 145 persons received training in alcoholism and alcohol education in pro­ grams sponsored by the Department during the year. 19 scholarships were awarded to individuals to attend the Summer School of Alcohol Studies at Rutgers-the State University. A physician attended the two-week physician's institute; 11 social workers, parole officers, nurses, clergymen, and psychologists attended the training courses ; and seven counselors, social workers, and a sociologist attended the North­ east Institute. All of these people are either working directly or indirectly with the alcoholic and/or his family. The physician's institute and the training courses provide

    June 29, 2020 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Chuck Schumer Majority Leader, United States Senate Minority Leader, United States Senate U.S. Capitol Building, Room S-230 U.S. Capitol Building, Room S-224 Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Majority Leader McConnell and Minority Leader Schumer: We write today to advocate on behalf of states, territories, counties, cities and towns, all of which are experiencing historic budget shortfalls as they continue to respond to the pandemic. In less than two days, the budget years for 45 states and thousands of local governments will begin. Unlike the federal government, these state and local governments must begin their fiscal years on time and with a balanced budget. If the Senate fails to act immediately to support state and local governments, our nation’s recovery from the pandemic-induced recession will suffer and millions of Americans will needlessly be harmed. Previous federal bills responding to COVID-19 provided important support, many through well-established grant programs, yet none allow for the replacement of billions of lost revenue due to COVID-19. More robust and direct stimulus is needed for state and local governments to both rebuild the economy and maintain essential services in education, health care, emergency operations, public safety and more. As we move closer to the end of the budget year, furloughs and job cuts are on the table for many states and localities. These jobs losses not only affect the provision of government services, but also add to state unemployment. The damage will get far worse without federal assistance, forcing drastic cuts that will further delay and cancel infrastructure projects, as at least 26 states have announced construction delays for transportation projects.

  • MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP HISTORY Founded by William Torrey for Its
    MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP HISTORY Founded by William Torrey for its namesake, a British manufacturing city, Manchester Township was formed through an Act of Congress on April 5, 1865. Manchester was the seventh municipality formed in Ocean County. The other municipalities were Little Egg Harbor Township in 1740, Stafford Township in 1750, Toms River formerly Dover Township in 1768, Jackson Township in 1844, Union Township in 1846 and Brick Township in 1850. After receiving 640 acres of land in what is now present-day Lakehurst Borough, Mr. Torrey and his wife Adelaide moved to Manchester in 1841. A real estate promoter and developer, Mr. Torrey spent the years 1841 to 1865 engaged in the sale of properties he owned in Manchester Village. He dreamed of establishing Manchester as an important rail and industrial center and thought it would be better served as an independent political entity. In furthering his vision, Mr. Torrey is responsible for constructing the railroad in downtown Lakehurst that became operational in 1863 as part of the Raritan and Delaware Bay Railroad, allowing for connections with other lines to the Jersey Shore and Philadelphia. The Whiting section of Manchester was named in 1861 by Nathan C. Whiting. He came from New Haven Connecticut and erected a sawmill. The first post office was built in 1841 as well as a Presbyterian Church. Since its incorporation, Manchester Township’s boundaries have remained the same except for the secession of the Borough of Lakehurst in 1921. At the time of incorporation the population was 1,054. As of the 2010 census Manchester’s population was 43,070.

  • 102Nd Annual Conference
    Welcome to the 102 nd Annual League Conference President’s Welcome November 14, 2017 Dear Conference Delegate: It is my honor and my privilege to welcome you to your New Jersey State League of Municipalities’ 102nd Annual Conference. “Realizing Tomorrow’s Potential” is the theme of this year’s gathering. But for those of us who serve our fellow citizens on the local level, it is a goal that we all strive for every day. A sage once said, “Yesterday is history. Tomorrow’s a mystery. But today is a gift. And that’s why they call it the present.” If we are to realize tomorrow’s potential, we need to make the best of that present. And there is no better place to do that, than right here at the League’s Conference. Your thoughtful attendance is proof positive of how much you care. Indeed, we come to the Conference because we care. We care about New Jersey. We care about our colleagues in the public’s service. But, most of all, we care about our fellow citizens–our neighbors, their families, our friends. We care enough to set aside three days each year to listen and to learn. To talk and to teach. From the seminars and workshops, to the exhibit floor, to our personal conversations with friends and colleagues facing similar challenges, we increase our understanding of the work we do at home. We strive to grasp every opportunity to improve our towns by sharing our insights, On behalf of the League’s officers, executive board, and staff, I thank you for participating in this important event.
