FROM THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT

It’s my pleasure to welcome all of you to this year’s Valor and Meritorious Service Awards Ceremony. As you know, the

Club’s mission is to support the fallen service members, widows and orphans of the Police, Fire and First Aiders who are

killed or seriously injured in the line of duty. True to our mission, this year we unfortunately found ourselves responding

to the hospital bed of a firefighter where we offered our support to the individual and his family. For those who have made

the ultimate sacrifice, the Club continues to be there for their families.

As a 200 Club of Ocean County Member, your participation enables us to continue this good work. The Club is

financially strong and your membership support of our events has helped us to have one of our strongest years ever. We

look forward to your continued participation and we hope to see you at our Golf Outing this year.

The 200 Club motto is “We Remember”. We Remember the service members every day when they are doing their work,

We Remember the individuals and their families at the time of the loss, We Remember them during the holidays, We

Remember all service members with our scholarship program at Ocean County College, and We Remember with our

support of the Police and Fire Academy graduates here in Ocean County.

Please take a minute today, and think about all of the good work our Police, Fire and First Aid Service people do for us

every day. In the event that you would like to have a presentation done by the Club, please let us know and we would be

happy to schedule a time to talk about the good work we do.

Sincerely,

VALOR AWARD

Officer Anthony SarnoLacey Township Police Department

Whereas, The 200 Club of Ocean County is dedicated to the promotion of law, order, and public safety and the furtherance of the same by our Police, Fire, and First Aid Squad Members; and

Whereas, The Annual 200 Club Awards are presented to those members of our Police, Fire, and First Aid organizations who exemplify these high ideals and who further demonstrate this by deeds above and beyond that which is required of them; and

Whereas, Officer Anthony Sarno of the Lacey Township Police Department is so honored; and

Whereas, on November 25, 2016, the Forked River Fire Department and Lacey Township Police Department responded to a call of a fully engulfed structure fire with an entrapment of an elderly woman. Upon arrival, Lieutenant Anderson of the Forked River Fire Department along with other firefighters aggressively attempted to fight the working fire, while Officer Meyler had broken a garage window and entered the smoke filled room in an attempt to locate the victim. Because of the thick smoke, the officer had to retreat. Officer Meyler was able to ascertain the victim's whereabouts, and entered the garage where there was zero visibility. Officer Sarno and Firefighter Barker entered the garage to assist Officer Meyler. While Officer Sarno grabbed her arms, Firefighter Barker picked up her legs in an attempt to lift her. Because she was unable to support her own weight, Officer Sarno had to drag her across the room, where her legs became stuck in debris. Once near the window, Officer Sarno jumped through while Officer Meyler and Firefighter Barker helped her through. After the victim was pulled to safety, Lieutenant Anderson and Firefighter Barker continued working to put out the intense fire. Due to quick thinking and fast actions of these officers and firefighters, the victim survived the incident.

Now therefore be it resolved, that Officer Anthony Sarno’s quick actions during the rescue of a victim from a burning home went above and beyond the call of duty. His courageous acts reflect positively upon the Lacey Township Police Department, himself, and the community he serves, and the 200 Club extends its best wishes to him for his continued success and happiness.

Whereas, on July 7, 2016, the Toms River Police Department responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle. Officer Eric Harris pulled the vehicle over, followed by Sergeant Sysol and Officer Lawrence Difabio. During the investigation, the driver retrieved a realistic looking airsoft pistol from his vehicle and pointed it directly at Officer Harris at close range.

Sysol kept control over the scene, organizing a perimeter around the area for safety. At this time, it was not known that the suspect’s firearm was an airsoft pistol. That was not discovered until many hours later. Sgt. Sysol, Officer Harris, and Officer Difabio worked together in preventing what could have been a very dangerous situation.

Firefighter Robert LeachSilverton Fire Company



Whereas, Firefighter Robert Leach of the Silverton Fire Company is so honored; and

Whereas, on February 14, 2017, members of Silverton and Pleasant Plains Fire Companies were attending a drill at the Toms River Fire Training Center. While the drill was in progress, both stations were dispatched to a home for reported smoke emitting from the residence. While enroute, the call was updated to a structure fire with entrapment. Upon arrival, it was observed that the home was well involved with fire visible on the first and second floors, and reports that the homeowners were still inside. Due to the intense smoke and heat, several firefighters were unable to attempt a rescue. Without hesitation, Firefighters Robert Leach, Kristopher Piccola and Ed Ruhl made entry while Firefighter Nick McGinley stationed himself at the door for search and rescue. The crew, clothed in full gear, crawled through the home, while encountering flames and immense heat, making it impossible to reach the trapped victim. While still inside, the conditions of the home were quickly deteriorating as heavy black smoke was visible from the front and side of the home. Faced with these conditions, the crew attempted to exit the home as a flash over condition occurred. Because of this, Firefighter Leach received burns to his ears and neck, even though he was in full gear. Minutes after the crew exited the home, the first floor collapsed into the basement. These firefighters made a valiant effort to save the homeowner.

Now therefore be it resolved, that Firefighter Robert Leach’s courageous actions while attempting to save the life of a victim in a fully engulfed home went above and beyond the call of duty. His courageous acts reflect positively upon the Silverton Fire Company, himself, and the community he serves, and the 200 Club extends its best wishes to him for his continued success and happiness.

Whereas, on January 23, 2016, Manchester Police Department Sergeant Robert Sharry, along with Patrolmen Michael Guarino, Kyle Rickvalsky, and Michael Steffen responded to a first aid call during a severe snow storm where the accumulated amount of snowfall was over eighteen inches. Upon arrival, they discovered a retired New Jersey State Police Trooper unresponsive and not breathing. This trooper is dependent on a ventilator, as he is paralyzed. Sgt. Sharry assessed the situation and noticed that the trooper’s breathing tube was not attached. This tube provides oxygen supply through the ventilator system. He quickly reattached the breathing tube and immediately began performing CPR on the victim. Upon arrival of EMT’s, Patrolmen Guarino, Rickvalsky and Steffen assisted by shoveling a pathway through the heavy snow and maneuvered first aid equipment into the residence. Collectively, these officers, along with assistance from a volunteer fire company, secured the victim in a stretcher, carried him down a flight of stairs, through the snow and into the ambulance, while continually performing CPR. As no other paramedics were able to get to the residence, Officer Guarino drove the ambulance to the hospital to allow EMT’s to continue medical treatment. These prompt actions of Sgt. Sharry, and Patrolmen Guarino, Rickvalsky, and Steffen saved the life of this retired New Jersey State Police Trooper, who eventually recovered. As a result of this incident, a ventilator support awareness training seminar was implemented for Manchester Police Department officers in order to familiarize them with ventilator support system in an emergency situation. Now therefore be it resolved, that Sergeant Robert Sharry’s quick and brave actions during the rescue of a paralyzed victim during a severe snowstorm went above and beyond the call of duty.

Whereas, Lieutenant David Yusko of the New Jersey State Police is so honored; and

Whereas, on September 17, 2016, the Semper Five Marine Corp Charity 5K Run was about to begin, when an explosion in a garbage can located along the race route was reported. Soon after the explosion, a suspicious bag was discovered in the same area. New Jersey State Police Bomb Unit members Lt. David Yusko, Det. Sgt. James Abbes, Det. I Stephen Christinzio, and Det. I Brett Beyer arrived on scene, and Det. Yusko coordinated updates to the Technical Response Bureau Command. Det. I Christinzio worked alongside with the Seaside Park Police Department, while Det. Sgt. Abbes took the lead in coordinating the scene with police, fire and first aid responders. Upon arrival, the only area under control and closed down was the immediate area surrounding the garbage can. Wearing protective equipment, Det. Sgt. Abbes began an inspection of the area, and deemed the suspicious bag safe. Based on his extensive training and experience related to Improvised Explosion Devices (IED), Abbes observed a partially intact IED inside the garbage can, which included three pipe bombs and a fuzing system, located inside a plastic bag to appear like garbage. One of the pipe bombs had not completely functioned, and the other two remaining pipe bombs were still intact and taped together, indicating that they were still “live” devices. This particular IED was a textbook terrorist device that has been utilized around the world by terrorist groups against the military, law enforcement and public. Once a larger perimeter was made around the race route, Lt. Yusko oversaw the entire Render Safe Operation, while Det. Sgt. Abbes and Det. I Christinzio made many manual approaches on this device as well as the use of robots and specialized equipment, remotely removing the IED from the garbage can to an area that they were able to dismantle and separate the components of the two remaining pipe bombs. Part of the device included a cell phone, raising the possibility of the device being either a command initiated or timer initiated device. During this operation, there were multiple calls for service from surrounding municipalities in regards to suspicious packages. Det. I Beyer led the responses to these calls and coordinated with an FBI Special Agent Bomb Technician, mitigating these incidents to allow the Render Safe Operation be conducted without interruption. After these devices were dismantled, a full secondary device search was conducted along the entire race route. This included all venues and areas associated with the race. Not one runner or observer was injured during this explosion, and thanks to the actions of these officers, the area was deemed safe. Now therefore be it resolved, that Lieutenant David Yusko’s quick actions during the incident of a bomb explosion went above and beyond the call of duty. His courageous acts reflect positively upon the New Jersey State Police, himself, and the community he serves, and the 200 Club extends its best wishes to him for his continued success and happiness.

I Brett Beyer arrived on scene, and Det. Yusko coordinated updates to the Technical Response Bureau Command. Det. I Christinzio worked alongside with the Seaside Park Police Department, while Det. Sgt. Abbes took the lead in coordinating the scene with police, fire and first aid responders. Upon arrival, the only area under control and closed down was the immediate area surrounding the garbage can. Wearing protective equipment, Det. Sgt. Abbes began an inspection of the area, and deemed the suspicious bag safe. Based on his extensive training and experience related to Improvised Explosion Devices (IED), Abbes observed a partially intact IED inside the garbage can, which included three pipe bombs and a fuzing system, located inside a plastic bag to appear like garbage. One of the pipe bombs had not completely functioned, and the other two remaining pipe bombs were still intact and taped together, indicating that they were still “live” devices. This particular IED was a textbook terrorist device that has been utilized around the world by terrorist groups against the military, law enforcement and public. Once a larger perimeter was made around the race route, Lt. Yusko oversaw the entire Render Safe Operation, while Det. Sgt. Abbes and Det. I Christinzio made many manual approaches on this device as well as the use of robots and specialized equipment, remotely removing the IED from the garbage can to an area that they were able to dismantle and separate the components of the two remaining pipe bombs. Part of the device included a cell phone, raising the possibility of the device being either a command initiated or timer initiated device. During this operation, there were multiple calls for service from surrounding municipalities in regards to suspicious packages. Det. I Beyer led the responses to these calls and coordinated with an FBI Special Agent Bomb Technician, mitigating these incidents to allow the Render Safe Operation be conducted without interruption. After these devices were dismantled, a full secondary device search was conducted along the entire race route. This included all venues and areas associated with the race. Not one runner or observer was injured during this explosion, and thanks to the actions of these officers, the area was deemed safe. Now therefore be it resolved, that Detective I Stephen Christinzio’s quick actions during the incident of a bomb explosion during the Semper Five Marine Corp Charity 5K Run went above and beyond the call of duty. His courageous acts reflect positively upon the New Jersey State Police, himself, and the community he serves, and the 200 Club extends its best wishes to him for his continued success and happiness._________________________________________ ______________________________________

The primary mission of the 200 Club of Ocean County is to support the individuals, widows and orphans of fallen police, fire, first aid squad members and members of the New Jersey State Police who are killed or

seriously injured in the line of duty.This group of brave individuals is commonly referred to as the “Uniformed Services”. Our funds are developed by membership dues and fundraising events, along with investment income that is earned

throughout the year. In addition, we periodically receive donations from others for various restricted and unrestricted projects or needs. By virtue of the fact that over time, we have not had as many recipients for our primary mission, the mission of the organization was broadened to further support the uniformed services. These other goals are

the Valor and Meritorious Service Awards, an award for the graduate of the Police and Fire Academies, and scholarships to Ocean County College for Uniformed Service members and their families who qualify.

What does the 200 Club do? “We Remember”!

“We Remember” is our motto. “We Remember that the Uniform Service is a 24/7 responsibility. “We Remember” because they are our friends, our neighbors, our family. “We Remember” because no matter how bad it gets, they are there for us! “We Remember” because they are willing to sacrifice everything for

us. That is why “We Remember”.
