prominent alum, Mater Dei Prep has moved closer to
being saved.

About Share911

ski-masked, gun-brandishing robber had just held up his second cab driver in five hours on the morning of March 12 and
was fleeing the scene of the crime, just blocks from Keyport
High School.
Borough Police Chief Butch Casaletto pulled out his cellphone and with two clicks, an alert flashed on the smartphones of nearly every district employee: They were instructed to initiate lockdown
procedures.
I can say that this system was a great asset as the school was
placed in lockdown by me when we realized that the threat was heading in the direction of the school, Casaletto said. No danger ever
reached the school, and a suspect was arrested later that night.
This system, Share911, can be found in hundreds of schools nationwide, including 79 buildings in Monmouth and Ocean counties. It was
developed by OnScene Technologies Inc., a Ramsey-based startup led
by Adrian Lanning, a developer who built the program, Ray Bailey, a
former deputy police chief, and Erik Endress, a 30-year volunteer
firefighter.
Share911, which Endress says has a patent pending, is a service sold
to clients almost entirely schools at this point, but they have plans to
branch out commercially that provides for two-way communication within an exclusive network, such as school staff and first responders.
Not only can any member of the network immediately put a school
in lockdown, but they can tell each other during an evacuation that a
child is missing or that an intruder just walked past their door or that

The system, by OnScene Technologies Inc.

of Ramsey, is used in 79 buildings in Monmouth and Ocean counties, as well as hundreds of schools nationwide.

LACEY This 30-degree morning
calls for a mug filled with hot coffee.
Instead, I have a shovel filled with frozen manure.
A gorgeous, gargantuan Belgian
draft horse named Seven has left us a
number of puck-sized presents in her
pen.
Eating like a horse, Mike Pisano
says with a chuckle. Im always amazed at how many
of those expressions are true.
Pisano is one of several zookeepers at Popcorn
Park Zoo, a 7-acre sanctuary for hundreds of rescued
