Monroe’s third school referendum deferred until next year By KATHY CHANG Staff Writer
W
ith a big question mark on the economic impact of the novel coronavirus pandemic and how the operation of schools will look in September, the Board of Education has decided to hold off on any decisions related to putting out a third referendum until at least next year. With more than 1,400 unhoused students and continued student enrollment growth, there is no question the Monroe Township School District needs to address the needs of facilities to house the students.
For the past two years, the district has attempted to address the dire needs through referendums; however, voters defeated both referendums. Voters defeated a two-question, $146 million referendum in March 2019. The first question asked voters if they were in favor of building a new middle school on a 35-acre site at Applegarth and Cranbury Station roads. The school would have housed 1,000 students and cost $75 million to build. The first question was defeated by 995 votes. The second question asked voters if they were in favor of building an addition to Monroe Township High School at a cost
of $71 million. The proposed high school addition was contingent on the passage of the middle school question. The second question was defeated by 1,152 votes. In 2018, a $68.8 million referendum that proposed the construction of a new middle school was defeated by 143 votes. The BOE had commissioned an ad hoc committee after the failed referendum to review options for housing students. The committee members gave their recommendations to the board at meetings in January and February. A third referendum, now delayed, is (Continued on page 9)
n direct response to the recent drowning incidents that have occurred in the township, the East Brunswick Recreation and Parks Department is offering free swimming lessons. On Jan. 22, Yousef Khela, 13, drowned after falling through the ice at the municipal pond on Civic Center Drive. A little more than a month ago, Bharat Patel, 62, his daughter-in-law Nisha Patel, 33, and her daughter, 8, drowned in a pool at a home on Clearview Road in East Brunswick on June 22. On July 4, a 4-year-old boy died after drowning in a pool at a kindergarten graduation party. “We’ve had a series of unfortunate tragedies in terms of drownings or loss of life in bodies of water. … So even though I don’t think the water is any different here in East Brunswick than it is anywhere else, I think it’s just a cluster of cases, but points out the fact that in many instances, either it was a kid or adults that didn’t know how to swim,” Mayor Brad Cohen said. In light of these recent tragedies, Cohen said he asked the township’s Department of Recreation and Parks to put together a program that offers swimming lessons in town to East Brunswick residents both adults and children. “The program is [run] by the world’s largest swim lesson group which is a group that functions through the World Water Park Association and their mission is to provide lessons to general public on swimming since it’s the second-largest cause of accidental death in children under the age of 14,” Cohen said. “Most adults, close to 54%, don’t know how to swim. So their goal has been to increase swimming awareness and pool water safety.” Cohen said lessons will be open to residents only and people of all ages are welcome. Lessons will be run by staff from the (Continued on page 8)

College classes while still in high school? A growing number say yes
A
vinash Kumar of Edison was just angling for a better grade on his Advanced Placement calculus exam when he took a class at Middlesex County College (MCC) while still in high school. “My motivation was to prepare myself for the AP Calculus exam,” he said. “But my interest quickly shifted when I discovered I could take additional classes and go on for an associate degree, and then complete my bachelor’s degree in two years instead of four.” Kumar graduated from the Middlesex County Academy for Science, Mathematics and Engineering Technologies in June and plans to graduate from MCC in August. He was named a 2020 National Merit Scholarship winner. He will then attend NJIT on a full scholarship as part of the accelerated BS/MS program at NJIT’s Albert Dorman Honors College. He is planning a career in information technology. “MCC served as a bridge between high school and NJIT,” he said. “The class sizes were small and the professors were supportive.” Kumar joined a growing number of students who are taking advantage of MCC while still in high school. “We’ve seen extensive growth over the past three years,” says Kimberlee Hooper, director of K-12 Partnerships at Middlesex County College. Indeed. The number of high school students taking MCC classes has gone from just under 1,800 in 2017-18 to over 3,100 in 2019-2020 – a jump of almost 60%. Hooper feels there are two major factors in this growth. First, school districts are organizing and promoting options for their students better, making sure they understand they have numerous post-high school choices. For example, some students would be best served by earning a certificate in a short amount of time, and then going into the workforce. For others a two-year degree that leads to a job is most appropriate, and for others, a two-year degree and then transferring to a four-year school is the right path.

Avinash Kumar of Edison graduated high school in June and expects to graduate from Middlesex County College in August.
“That’s where we come in because of our flexibility and low-cost,” Hooper said. And that’s the second reason: cost. High school students can take a 3-or 4-credit class for $125, including tuition and fees. “Parents love that they can save literally thousands of dollars by having their kids take classes that will transfer to a four-year institution,” she said. “But there’s other advantages. It allows students to get used to the college experience, the amount of work, and what’s expected of them. It allows you to build up your academic profile and it helps solidify your career goals. You may think you are interested in one field but after taking a class or two, decide that it’s not for you. It’s much better to find that out before you are too far along.” Hooper said another factor in the growth was outreach to charter and non-public schools in the area. MCC went from serving 22 schools in 2016 to 37 today. “In the past, many of the parents were focused on fouryear schools, but we’ve been reaching out to explain why we’re a viable option,” she said. “It’s becoming a great resource for their students. They especially like hearing about MCC’s transfer agreements.” East Brunswick High School now offers a dual degree program with MCC, and three districts – Middlesex Borough, South Plainfield and Colonia – are developing them. Just like Kumar, students can actually earn a college degree while still in high school. Hooper said she expects several students will graduate from MCC in May of 2021 and East Brunswick High School the following month. “Most lean toward our liberal arts majors, but we also have students interested in science and business,” she said. “Essentially, they can set their own pathway. Our hope is that we’re part of the process for these students, whether it’s one course, or 10 courses, or a degree.” - This article was submitted by Middlesex County College.

EAST BRUNSWICK – A group of residents submitted a petition to have the Township Council adopt a proposed ordinance establishing a Government Energy Aggregation Program. On June 3, a committee of petitioners comprised of Dorothy Li, Kathryn Scarbrough, Troy Shinbrot, Jean Mazza and Daniel Ulloa submitted an initiative petition, according to the council agenda. As required by state law, in order for the petition to be submitted to the council it was required to be signed by a number of the legal voters of the township, equal in number to at least 10% of the votes cast in the municipality at the last election at which members of the General Assembly were elected, according to the council. On June 23, Township Clerk Nennette Perry notified the committee of petitioners that their petition had been reviewed and met the state law requirements according to the council. Perry read the certification certifying the sufficiency of the petition under state law on July 13 during the council meeting via video conference. The first reading for the ordinance is scheduled for July 27. “Once the signatures have come in we will have no choice but to certify the petition and then it works as a first reading and we will schedule a second reading on Aug. 10,” Township Attorney Michael Baker said. The ordinance, if adopted, will amend the municipal code establishing a Community Energy Aggregation Program that creates an option for 100% regionally sourced renewables. PJM Interconnection is a regional transmission organization that coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity in all or parts of Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia, but renewable electricity created outside of the PJM grid cannot be directly utilized by residents, ac-

YMCA and will be held from 5:30-6 p.m. or 6:30-7:30 p.m. on July 29 and Aug. 5 at Crystal Springs Family Waterpark, located at 380 Dunhams Corner Road. “Again, it’s completely free if anybody wants to continue with swimming lessons that are available through the YMCA pro-
cording to the council. Prioritizing the generation of renewable electricity will help improve local air quality, improve public health impacts, and decrease costs, according to the council. In accordance with the state’s Government Energy Aggregation Act, the township seeks to establish a program for the provision of electricity within the township for the purpose of obtaining power supply cost savings for residential and business participants in the township, according to the council. The township, from time to time, will request proposals from electric power suppliers for electric generation services through the program, in which the township and its authorized personnel will be lead agents in administering the township’s Community Energy Aggregation Program, according to the council. Baker said he has been in discussions with Food and Water Watch members who helped organize the petition drive. “[We discussed] some ideas that I had on how we could make [the] Energy Aggregation Program work more smoothly and also some technical changes that needed to be made to the proposed ordinance because it talks of only PSEG, whereas, the town has power service from PSEG and JCP&L,” Baker said. With discussions going well so far, Baker said he thinks that the petitioners at some point in the next few weeks will be amendable to a revised ordinance submitted by the council on the first reading. Then the second and final public hearing for the ordinance will potentially be on Aug. 10. “If the council adopts the revised ordinance and the petitioners like it they then vote to withdraw their petition, the ordinance is approved and it does not need to go on the ballot,” Baker said. “If we don’t come to an agreement then the ordinancei as proposed will go on the ballot, but I think there’s a good working relationshipM with the [petitioners]. I believe we will be able to work out any issues.” For more information, visit www.eastbrunswick.org/AgendaCenter.
gram offered through our parks and recreation department,” Cohen said. Cohen said only 25 people per swimming session will be permitted. “So I really want to thank [Department Recreation and Parks Director] Mike Reissner and [Business Administrator] Joesph Criscuolo for getting that program together so quickly and making that available to our residents,” Cohen said.

Referendum (Continued from page 1)
still in the pipeline. Schools Superintendent Dori Alvich had presented three options – Plan A, Plan B,and Plan C – to the board at a Board of Education (BOE) meeting in May. All the proposed plans include an addition and renovations at Monroe Township High School to create 13 classrooms and three small group instruction rooms. The proposed total cost of Plan A is $99.37 million which includes the construction of a new district-wide fifth-andsixth grade school on the 35-acre parcel at the intersection of Applegarth and Cranbury Station roads. The site was previously used as a golf range. The township had transferred ownership of the site to the school district at no cost, the property is readily accessible, it has all required utilities and there are no environmental or construction issues, according to district administrators. Plan A removes the sixth grade class from the current Monroe Township Middle School and provides housing for 1,410 students. The proposed total cost of Plan B is $115.70 million. The proposed plan constructs an additional academic pod, or wing, at Brookside Elementary School; constructs a modular classroom addition at Barclay Brook Elementary, which adds six to eight classrooms; constructs an estimated 1,000-student area at Applegarth site to replace Applegarth School; removes the sixth grade from the current Monroe Township Middle School; and provides housing for 1,904 students. The proposed total cost for Plan C is $146.72 million. The plan is similar to Plan B, but also adds the construction of an 636-person elementary school at the site of
the previous golf course along with replacing Applegarth School. Each plan calls for the redistricting of the elementary schools from kindergarten to fourth grade. Plan C calls for the redistricting of kindergarten to sixth grade. The plans do not include all the needed additions at Monroe Township High School and Plan A does not address much needed improvements/replacement of Applegarth School. The district and the board came to a consensus to delay choosing a plan and selecting the next date for the referendum until at least next year. Board members said in the meantime they would like to see the cost analysis of each item in the plans and cost comparisons of modular and brick and mortar construction. With the delayed decision, the district also decided to remove funds of $100,000 for the next referendum from the 2020-21 budget in efforts to offset the loss in state aid for the 2020-21 school budget. The BOE had adopted its $136.89 million 2020-21 school budget at a meeting on April 27 with the expectation of receiving $6.93 million, an increase of $1 million from last year. Gov. Phil Murphy’s proposed cut of $335 million in his 2020-21 school funding budget proposal left the district grappling to find ways to make up for the $693,723 decrease in state aid. District officials said funding removals are from proposed new appropriations and does not affect any classroom curriculum. The district also removed contract funding for the proposed trailers at the high school in the amount of $500,000 and deferred adding a behavioral specialist and transition specialist to next year in the amount of $110,000. More information on the proposed third referendum is available on the district’s website at www.monroe.k12.nj.us.

n June of 2009, things looked very bleak for American automakers like, Ford, Chevy and Chrysler. Swept up in the financially crippling housing market lending bubble that burst rather abruptly, many stalwart American companies, like Ford, were literally on the verge of insolvency. Led by President Barack Obama, the government issued massive amounts of bailout money in an attempt to keep the American autoPeter Perrotta makers from withering away into the abyss. Ford took advantage of about $9 billion in line-of-credit government loans to right its ship and get itself sailing in the right direction again, while the entire country slowly emerged from this severe financial crisis. Now, more than 11 years later, companies like Ford and Chevrolet can proudly say that they survived this crisis and are once again viable economic forces on the American landscape. One of the things, Ford did, in order to become meaner and leaner in the face of this crisis was to streamline its product line. They began offering less models. Thus, they were in a better position to build higher quality cars and trucks by concentrating their production efforts on less product. The formula worked. While not perfect, most of the models in the current Ford lineup are solidly built trucks or cars that compare quite nicely with most of what the Japanese, Korean and German automakers have. My recent one week test drive in the 2020 Ford Edge ST AWD did nothing to dissuade me from that thesis. Overall I found the 2.7 liter, V-6 turbo Edge ST to be a very solid offering and contender in the very crowded two row, midsized crossover SUV segment. This sporty Edge is performance oriented enough to thrill the driving enthusiast and yet, at the same time, roomy and comfortable enough to fill the needs of a cargo carrying family. This aggressively styled Edge is flashy and edgy enough to turn heads and it grips the road quite nicely through twists and turns in any kind of weather, thanks to its
capable all wheel drive system. Introduced in 2007, this marks the 13th year that Ford has included the mid-sized Edge in its lineup. The 2020 model is relatively unchanged from last year’s version when the Edge did receive a fairly significant face lift. In 2019, Ford gave the Edge a new look with a significantly changed front grill, revised front and rear bumpers and more modern looking front and rear lighting elements. They laid to rest the Sport model and in its place introduced the ST, with its twin turbocharged V-6 engine. I must say, I like the new aggressive looking ST model. As an added option my Blue Met tester added a $2,695 performance package that included performance brakes; 21-inch premium painted black wheels and summer tires. The base price of the Edge ST is $43,265. The tester had $8,030 in options. When you add in the $1,245 destination charge the MSRP sticker price was $52,540. The other added options included: $4,840 for a Group A equipment package and $495 for a cold weather package. The Group A package includes: garage door opener; perimeter alarm; wireless charging pad; panoramic roof; voice activated, touch navigation system; adaptive cruise control; remote start; heated rear seats and heated and cooled front seats. The cold weather package added a heated steering wheel; front and rear all weather floor liners and a windshield wiper de-icer system. The Edge is also offered in the base model SE trim (starting at $32,195); a midlevel SEL ($35,450) and the top of the line $39,195 Titanium edition. The Edge is the only model offering the V-6. The other models come standard with a 2.0 liter, 4 cylinder turbo engine that puts out 250 horsepower. The V-6 gets a spunky 335 horse. In general the auto critics have been kind to the Edge. The folks at Consumer Reports say: “the Edge can rival a luxury car with its quiet cabin, steady ride and agile handling.” Car and Driver wrote: “ranging from adequately equipped base models to the sporting ST, the Edge offers something for everybody”. Car and Driver gave the Edge high marks for its quiet cabin, comfortable seats and plentiful standard equipment. For low marks, Car and Driver says the Edge’s interior materials were “subpar”

and its handling was clumsy. To be honest, I didn’t find the interior accoutrements to be subpar. I would rate it more like average. As far as handling goes, I thought the steering could have been tighter. This Edge drives more like a luxury SUV – serving up a soft and cushy ride that at times could feel a bit squishy. The Department of Transportation’s EPA fuel economy ratings for the Edge come in at 21 miles. The EPA estimates that this Edge will cost about $1,950 a year in fuel to operateA as it uses about 4.8 gallons of gas per every1 w 100 miles driven. 6 In the government’s five star crash rat-9 ings test, this Edge had very strong marks,1 sporting a 5 star rating for its overall ve-1 T hicle crash test score. T It received 5 stars for front crash for_ both driver and passenger side, 5 stars for1 the side crash test and 4 stars in the rolloverB 1 test. The center console infotainment system1W is slightly above average. 1 While there is nothing overly impres-1 sive about the infotainment system, whichS mainly controls navigation, phone and au-P 2 dio controls, it functions quite easily andw seamlessly for any of the day-to-day driv-l 2 ing functions asked of it. Overall, I would recommend that any-f2 one who is considering leasing or pur-t chasing a mid-sized, two row crossover or2 SUV, should give serious consideration to2 n the Ford Edge. 3

Novenas PRAYER IS POWERFUL Oh, most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine of splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my Mother. Oh, Holy Mary Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this petition. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my Mother. Oh Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse in thee (3Xs). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3Xs). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy towards me and mine. + Say this prayer 3 consecutive days and publish prayer after petition is granted. Do not despair. Additional advice and petition. Pray the Rosary regularly. F.A.M.

Why have our customers chosen us over another window company? 1. Fibrex® Material Our Fibrex material was researched by Andersen en for 30 years before it was installed in even one home. Our Fibrex material is twice as strong as vinyl. 2. Unique Look Our window has the elegant look and strength of a wood window, but our Fibrex material doesn’t demand the same maintenance of wood.* 3. Accountability There’s no frustrating “middle man” to deal with. We manage the entire process–from building to installation to the warranty–on windows and patio doors.
