Mtown News Flash 9/18/12: Brush, Leaves & Rabies

Brush & Leaf Collection Reminder

The Public Works Department reminds residents that brush is collected each Spring and leaves each Fall.

Brush placed at the curb MUST be removed immediately. Since school is back in session, it creates a particular safety hazard for children walking to school and at bus stops.

Residents and registered landscapers can bring brush and leaves to the Recycling Center at 52 Kanes Lane, free of charge. Operating hours are Thursday through Monday, 8:30 a.m. To 4:30 p.m. The center is closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Violators are subject to fines of up to $2,000, up to 90 days imprisonment and/or community service for improper disposal of these materials. Public Works is also authorized to remove improperly disposed materials and assess the cost of removal and disposal against the responsible resident.

Leaf collection will begin in November. The next brush collection will be Spring 2013. Visit www.middletownnj.org/collection for information.



Rabies Alert & Free Shot Clinics

Cats Clinic: Sept 22, 9-11 a.m.
Dog Clinic: Oct 13, 9 a.m. to noon

The Middletown Township Health Department has received laboratory confirmation of a raccoon testing positive for Rabies. This new reports bring the total number of wild animals testing positive for Rabies this year to 6 ( 1 bat, 5 raccoons ). The raccoon was tested after it was found to be in altercations with a dog. This incident happened in the area of Trovillo Ct., located in the vicinity of the Locust and Navesink sections of town. Luckily, the dog was up to date on its rabies vaccination and only needed to receive a rabies booster and 45-day quarantine, according to Health Department Director Rich DeBenedetto.

In light of finding another rabid raccoon, we would like to remind residents about the possibility of wildlife being infected with Rabies. Please make sure all domestic animals (dogs, cats, and livestock) are currently vaccinated with a Rabies shot. If this dog was not currently vaccinated, the owner would have been ordered to confine the animal for six months in an approved pen or facility, or humanely euthanized to protect the family members from possible exposure to the Rabies Virus, DeBenedetto added.

Residents should not be interacting with wildlife. If you come across a sick or injured animal, keep your distance and please contact Animal Control at 732-615-2094 / 2097 immediately or contact the Police Department after hours and on weekends. Remember, Rabies is a fatal disease. The best course of defense is the vaccination of your pets and not handling or interacting with wildlife.

If any pet owner is in need of a rabies vaccination, please be advised that free clinics are being held by the Township. There will be a cat only rabies clinic held on September 22, 2012 from 9-11am and a dog only clinic on October 13, 2012 from 9 a.m.-12.p.m. at the Croydon Hall complex, 900 Leonardville Rd, Leonardo. For more information, do not hesitate to contact Animal Control at 732-615-2094.

FEMA Disaster Recovery Center open Mon-Sat
Assistance Claims must be filed by October 31

FEMA Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) at the Monmouth County Park System's Henry Hudson Trail Activity Center, 945 Route 36 will be processing claims from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The office will be closed on Sundays effectively immediately

Monmouth County residents and business owners whose properties sustained damage as a result of Hurricane Irene are also reminded to register with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for disaster assistance no later than Oct. 31.

Before visiting the DRC, residents and business owners who sustained losses should register online anytime at www.disasterassistance.gov or www.fema.gov or via mobile phone application m.fema.gov. You can also register by phone between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. daily to 1-800-621-FEMA (3362), or for the speech or hearing impaired, TTY 1-800-462-7585.

After registering for FEMA assistance, claimants should receive notification by mail within 10 days on whether they qualify for federal disaster assistance. If eligible, the letter explains how much the grant will be, and how it is intended to be used. You should keep receipts and other documentation for at least three years as proof the funds were spent as intended. If ineligible – or if the grant amount reads "0" – you may still qualify. The denial may just mean the application is missing information or that you missed an appointment with an inspector. FEMA recommends that you consider the appeals process.

The Oct. 31 deadline also applies to loan applications submitted to the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program. Additional information is available at www.sba.gov or 1-800-659-2955.

Police Advise Residents to Lock Car Doors
The Middletown Police Department has warned township residents to lock their car doors and to remove their car keys and any valuable items from their vehicles. Most of the burglaries and thefts from vehicles occur when residents leave them unlocked. "Cherry Picking" is the practice of walking through randomly chosen neighborhoods and checking vehicles in order to identify those that are left unlocked. Once a thief locates an unlocked car he or she will enter the vehicle and remove any items of value.

Police also warn residents to remove any of value from their vehicles such as keys, money, cell phones, computers, etc. Recently, there have been numerous thefts from vehicles where the suspects have only removed the vehicle's keys. This permits the thieves to return to the area at another time and possibly steal the car.

Almost all of the car burglaries, thefts from vehicles and actual stolen cars occur in vehicles that have been left unlocked. The simple process of locking your doors, even when the vehicle is parked at your home, and removing valuable items from your car, often discourages a thief from choosing your vehicle.

The Middletown Police Department requests that anyone with information in reference to any car burglaries or vehicle thefts to call Police Headquarters at (732) 615-2100 or the Detective Bureau at (732) 615-2120.
