Middlesex County College student Jadirah Rokins of the Colonia section Woodbridge, a Culinary and Baking & Pastry Arts major, has baked and donated more than 500 cupcakes to area healthcare workers. Rokins works at Sinai Post-Acute, Nursing and Rehab Center in Newark. She has donated the 500 cupcakes to Sinai Post-Acute, the World Central Kitchen and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick.
tepped up neighborhood police patrols and crackdown of illegal fireworks ahead of the July 4th weekend resulted in more than 280 complaints and charges levied, according to Mayor John E. McCormac. Twenty individuals – 14 township residents, two Perth Amboy residents, one Carteret resident, one Lawrenceville resident, one Metuchen resident, and one Parlin resident – were charged with the alleged sale and/or possession/use of illegal fireworks. The Woodbridge Police Department stepped up neighborhood patrols from July 1 to 5. The sale, possession and use of prohibited fireworks – including firecrackers, roman candles, M80s, cherry bombs, salutes and ground-to-air fireworks – is a fourth degree crime if the person sells, offers or exposes for sale, or possesses with intent to sell, any firework(s) and is punishable by a fine of up to $10,000 and/or up to 18 months in jail, officials said. Possession of destructive devices is a third degree crime with fines of up to $10,000 and incarceration of up to three to five years in jail. Additionally, a person is guilty of a petty disorderly person’s offense – a fine of up to $500.00 and/or a jail term of up to 30 days – if he or she purchases, uses, discharges, causes to be discharged, ignites, fires or otherwise sets in action, or possesses fireworks without having the required permit, officials said.
Metuchen Human Relations Commission continues community outreach By KATHY CHANG Staff Writer
T
he Metuchen Human Relations Commission is working on a number of projects in its continued efforts for the borough to always remain open, accepting and inclusive. “It is a very impactful time for the community around the issues of equality and inclusion,” Councilwoman Sheri-Rose Rubin, liaison to the Human Relations Com-
mission (HRC), said at a council meeting on June 22. The next event is HRC’s collaboration with the Metuchen Public Library for a book club lecture series at 7 p.m. on July 28 via Zoom. The book club will feature “So You Want to Talk About Race” by Ijeoma Oluo. The audiobook is available for Metuchen library cardholders at www.hoopladigital. com for free. Oluo will discuss and answer
questions for readers during the book club. In her book, Oluo offers a contemporary, accessible take on the racial landscape in America, addressing issues of privilege, police brutality, intersectionality, microaggressions, the Black Lives Matter movement and the “N” word. Rubin said many residents attended the recent peaceful protests on June 13 and May 31. The HRC organized a peaceful protest
and rally for social justice on June 13 at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park with NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) of Metuchen-Edison, student groups led by MHS4BLM (Metuchen High School for Black Lives Matter) and local organizers with Speak Up NJ. The event was coordinated with the approval of the borough and Metuchen Police Department. (Continued on page 10)

Temple Emanu-El’s new cantor brings her ‘drive and passion’ to inspire through music; will also serve as youth director By KATHY CHANG Staff Writer
E
mily Simkin knew she wanted to use music as a vehicle for spirituality and inspiration since she was 9 years old. It was during her experiences at Camp Harlam, which is part of the Union for Reform Judaism family of camps and youth camps in the Poconos, where her inspiration blossomed. “From there I became more and more involved in the synagogue and I insisted on going to a Jewish State School,” she said. Simkin, who grew up in the Philadelphia area, attended the now Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, for her high school years and went on to receive her undergraduate degree in music from Berklee College of Music in Boston with a minor in psychology. She was recently ordained from Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion’s Debbie Friedman School of Sacred Music. The first year of study is spent in Israel and her following years were spent in New York where she served the Jewish community in cantorial, educational and youth professional roles in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts and Hawaii.
On July 1, Simkin began her new role as cantor at Temple Emanu-El, bringing her drive and passion. As cantor, she uses different Jewish music styles and forms, whether on the guitar or with the temple’s pianist, to express Jewish spirituality and meaningful life cycle events. Along with cantorial services, Simkin will also take on the role as youth director. “I’m really excited to work with the youth group, grades 2-12,” she said. “I think it’s so important to have fun with the kids. Absolutely there is time for connection through prayer, but also there can be connection through laser tag.” Simkin comes to Temple Emanu-El in the midst of the novel coronavirus pandemic. She led her first Shabbat service with Rabbi Rebecca Gutterman through a Zoom livestream and was able to meet many of the congregants through Zoom after. “It was a bit different,” she said, noting although it wasn’t her first time leading services on Zoom during the pandemic in her previous role at Temple Beth-El in Hillsborough, it was her first livestreamed service. Simkin said the congregants at Temple Emanu-El have given her a warm welcome. As they continue through the pandemic, she said she looks forward to working with

Cantor Emily Simkin
Gutterman on how best to serve the community, implement modern technology and stay present through the conditions. Post pandemic, Simkin believes she and Gutterman will make a dynamic team to create liturgy to incorporate in services to engage every age and stage of every congregant. Simkin aims to frame her cantorate around Jewish mindfulness, pastoral care, experiential education, and youth engagement. She particularly enjoys training b’nai mitzvah students, writing a creative valuesbased curriculum, interfaith programming, and engaging with congregants of every age and stage in the community. In her free time, Simkin spends time practicing yoga, gardening, making art and enjoying good wine, she said. Simkin noted Camp Harlam is not only where she found her calling, it is where she met her husband, Adam Halpern, who is currently a medical student at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine in Harlem. The couple live in Staten Island and together they enjoy time outdoors, cooking, and the best that Netflix has to offer. They are the proud pet parents of two cats, Hilly and Ru, named for Hillary Clinton and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Remote learning will continue at Middlesex County College for fall semester
M
ost fall semester classes at Middlesex County College (MCC) in Edison will run remotely. Mark McCormick, MCC president, said the decision is in efforts to allow students to continue their education “while mitigating the risks of exposure to COVID-19.” “We want to ensure that students receive the education they need and deserve while at the same time protecting their health and safety,” McCormick said in a statement provided by the college. “We anticipate a 90/10 percent split, with about 90% of classes offered online and 10% on campus.” Linda Scherr, vice president for Academic Affairs, said MCC is offering class-
es in different formats to provide flexibility for students. “The formats give students choices about their learning, while emphasizing health and safety practices to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” she said in the statement. Many of the courses will be converted into what the college is calling “Remote Live,” which are classes held at a scheduled day and time using video conferencing. Students interact with the professor and fellow students in real time, although some sections may include assignments for students to complete on their own instead of meeting for every scheduled class session. “The second half of our spring semes-

ter was conducted using Remote Live, and it was very successful,” McCormick said. Remote Live was implemented in March due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. The spring semester concluded online and the MCC’s 53rd commencement was held virtually. Traditional online courses will also be offered. The student works when it is convenient, and completes assignments by the due date. There are no required weekly meeting times and course materials and assignments are submitted online. “This mode is a good option for students who prefer a flexible schedule and have effective time management skills,” McCormick said. Some programs – such as nursing,
Editorials......................................................... 9 Entertainment................................................. 6
dental hygiene, fine arts, radiography, engineering and culinary arts – include courses that require in-person instruction and those courses will be offered in a hybrid format, with about half of the sessions online or Remote Live and half in person. “All on-campus instruction will adhere to strict health and safety protocols in compliance with state and local guidance,” McCormick said. For all fall courses, students will need access to a computer or tablet with microphone and the internet. For students without access to a computer, MCC has laptops available for loan.

YMCA of MEWSA receives JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Youth & Government Grant announces graduates
T
he YMCA of Metuchen, Edison, Woodbridge & South Amboy received notification of a grant in the amount of $2,500 from the New Jersey State Bar Foundation to support the costs of launching their new teen initiative, the Youth and Government Program. The program will be offered at the Metuchen and Edison YMCA locations and will be open to high school students in the community who have an interest in civic engagement. Through the existing Y-USA national program model, teens from across the state meet with other local YMCA’s throughout the year to discuss and debate issues that
affect citizens of the state and to propose mock legislation. Field trips will include a trip to the NJ State House on Youth Advocacy Day and the program culminates with the teens serving as delegates at the YMCA NJ Youth and Government State Conference, debating bills on the floor of the legislature. The program is fee-based, however, the grant will allow the Y to underwrite program costs for teens from underserved families. The program is anticipated to begin in September 2020. Interested participants should contact Gabriella St. Fleur at 732-548-2044.
JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute receives grant to support ParkinSINGS choir
T
he Parkinson’s Foundation has awarded a grant to Hackensack Meridian JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute to support the ParkinSINGS choir and its work with Parkinson’s patients. The Parkinson’s Foundation Community Grant Review Committee was impressed with the ParkinSINGS proposal and wrote that Parkinson’s Foundation donors would be proud to support the work, according to information provided by Hackensack Meridian Health. The ParkinSINGS Choir is comprised of people with Parkinson’s disease who sing under the direction of Alyson Chananie, a speech language pathologist, and musical director and pianist Frank Saverino. Studies have shown that singing programs have the potential to increase vocal loudness and improve respiratory muscle strength in people with the disease, according to the statement. The choir met in person, but has been meeting virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic. Roger P. Rossi, D.O., medical director of the Parkinson’s Disease Program at JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute, thanked the Parkinson’s Foundation for enabling the choir to continue its important work for a second year with the $18,000 grant. The Parkinson’s Foundation provided funding for the choir’s first year as well. Dr. Rossi said singing can help people with Parkinson’s disease improve movement and coordination, improve lung capacity, and lower stress and anxiety, according to the statement. “ParkinSINGS is extremely helpful to our patients and is one of the programs that improves our patients’ quality of life,” Dr. Rossi said in the statement. Dr. Rossi
is board certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation as well as sports medicine. Choir members have said they recognize the value of exercising their lungs and vocal chords and also enjoy the camaraderie of coming together with others also living with Parkinson’s disease. Sara Cuccurullo, M.D., medical director of JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute, said in the statement that each Parkinson’s disease patient is assessed and given a comprehensive program that may address swallowing, speech, diet and other aspects of Parkinson’s disease, according to the statement. The choir is one of several programs that JFK Johnson offers to people with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders. “We want every person with Parkinson’s disease to live the best life possible,” Dr. Cuccurullo said in the statement. “We’re thankful for the Parkinson’s Foundation for supporting our choir. Patients really enjoy the program and benefit from singing.” Janice P. Dibling MS,CCC/SLP, manager of Acute and Inpatient Rehabilitation Speech Pathology, said the choir is valuable for patients, according to the statement. “The choir has proven to be a creative and therapeutic outlet for individuals with Parkinson’s disease,” Dibling said in the statement. “Singing together has promoted social interaction, encouraged self-expression and enhanced quality of life.” Through support of the Parkinson’s Foundation, ParkinSINGS is free and open to all community members. For more information, call the Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology at 732-3217063.
H
ackensack Meridian JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute has announced the graduates of its prestigious Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Residency Program and sub-specialty fellowship programs. The highly ranked residency program trains physicians from around the nation who specialize in physical medicine and rehabilitation — and the fellowship programs train doctors who sub-specialize in pain medicine and brain injury medicine. JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute’s Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Residency Program regularly receives a Five Star rating — the highest possible — from Doximity, the leading network for American physicians. The fellowship programs are among the nation’s most competitive. The 2020 residency graduates are Drs. Stephanie Chan, Steven Markos, Shrut Patel and Aakash Thakral. The graduating Pain Medicine fellow is Jason Roth, DO. The Brain Injury Medicine Fellow is Matthew Moore, DO. Dr. Markos and Dr. Moore will remain at JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute and work as attending physicians, and Dr. Thakral will be the new Pain Medicine Fellow. “The residents and fellows at JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute work with our dedicated faculty who are committed to training these learners in attaining the necessary skills to deliver excellent patient care. These elite residency and fellowship programs at our institution are highly com-
petitive,” Sara Cuccurullo, M.D., medical director and vice president of JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute, said in a prepared statement from Hackensack Meridian. “We are so proud of the clinical excellence and dedication shown by these young physicians. They receive the most up-to-date training on the latest treatments and interventions, enabling us to train a new generation of physicians in these critical specialties —and to ensure the highest quality of care for our patients.” The residency and fellowship programs are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The one-year Pain Medicine Fellowship program enables physicians to become board certified in the subspecialty of Pain Medicine — and expert in the pharmacological, interventional, psychological, and mechanical aspects of pain management and treatment. The study and treatment of brain injury has advanced so far in the past decade that many in the field saw the need to create a subspecialty certification. As a result, in 2011 the American Board of Medical Specialties officially established the subspecialty of Brain Injury Medicine — creating a clear way to identify properly trained and experienced physicians in the subspecialty. Soon thereafter, the one-year Brain Injury Medicine Fellowship offered at JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute became one of the first such programs to be accredited by ACGME.
Area church pays medical debt of residents in Middlesex, Mercer counties
P
rinceton Alliance Church (PAC) partnered with RIP Medical Debt to pay off $1.75 million in medical debt throughout Mercer and Middlesex counties. Because of PAC’s donation of $15,000, letters will be mailed to 1,127 recipients this week informing them that their medical debt is paid in full: 253 in Middlesex County ($417,995 million) and 874 in Mercer County ($1,338,390 million). “We have a robust assistance program and often see medical debt connected to an inability to sustain basic needs of food and shelter in our communities. I believe that abolishing this medical debt will help lift people out of the vicious cycle of economic poverty. Our mission is to help people live life to the fullest in Jesus and we believe that happens by knowing God, developing community, and bringing hope to the
world. This is one of many ways we can do so,” Lead Pastor Boyd Hannold said in a prepared statement from the Plainsboro church. Medical debt is the No. 1 source of personal bankruptcy filings in the country, affecting both the uninsured and around 20% of Americans with insurance under the age of 65 who also have trouble covering their costs, according to the statement. More than 11 million Americans took on added credit card debt in 2013 to cover medical expenses. RIP Medical Debt is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose sole purpose is to locate, purchase and then forgive medical debt for those in greatest need through the contributions of donors, according to the statement.

Warren Beatty Hollywood’s Playboy and Producing Prodigy By Taylor Neumann, ReMIND Magazine
W
arren Beatty was born Henry Warren Beaty on March 30, 1937, in Richmond, Virginia. He came from a Baptist family of teachers and has an older sister, actress Shirley MacLaine. Though Beatty was a star football player in high school, he turned down numerous scholarships to instead attend Northwestern University to study liberal arts. He left after one year to attend acting school in New York City and began to take roles on television, even appearing on The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis during its first season (1959-60). In 1961 Beatty starred in his first movie, Splendor in the Grass, alongside
PHOTO CREDIT: WARREN BEATTY: COURTESY OF KING FEATURES SYNDICATE
Natalie Wood. The film was a huge suc-
cess and gave Beatty Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor and New Star of the Year, the latter of which he won. This was also the time when Beatty showed interest not only in acting but also in producing films. He said of his early roles, “When I acted in films, I used to come with suggestions about the script, the lighting, the wardrobe, and people used to say, ‘Waddya want, to produce the picture as well?’ And I used to say that I supposed I did.” His first production, which began at age 29, was Bonnie and Clyde (1967). He not only starred in the film but also selected most of the cast, oversaw the script and chose the writers and director. Bonnie and Clyde was nominated for 10 Academy Awards and seven Golden Globe Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor. Beatty produced, cowrote and acted in Shampoo (1975), which received four Academy Award and five Golden Globe nominations. He did it again — and added director to the list — with Heaven Can Wait in 1978, nominated for nine Oscars and winning three Golden Globes. Reds (1981) earned Beatty four individual
Oscar nominations — Best Picture, Director, Actor and Original Screenplay — among the film’s total 12 nominations. To this day, he is the only person to have been nominated for acting in, directing, writing and producing the same film — and he’s done it twice. In 1990, Beatty produced, directed and starred in Dick Tracy, about the comic-strip detective, one of the highestgrossing films of the year. He followed up with Bugsy, producing and starring as the real-life gangster Bugsy Siegel. Both films were critically and commercially successful, earning a total of 17 Academy Award and 12 Golden Globe nominations between them. Beatty was famous for his womanizing, playboy reputation — even inspiring a verse in Carly Simon’s famous song “You’re So Vain” — but has been married to actress Annette Bening since 1992, with the two having four children together. As of 2016, he was reportedly developing a sequel to Dick Tracy, but there have been no recent updates regarding the project.
Will there be more news about show pickups for fall? Question: Are all the TV networks done picking up their shows for next season? —Mike Matt Roush: Not hardly. Most of the press releases announcing the tentative new fall lineups from the networks included a line about how more series pickups will be announced later. More than with nearly any other season in memory, everything should be looked at as a best-case scenario in case production can actually resume on most shows this summer, and that’s a pretty big if. With pilot season also disrupted by the pandemic, there are almost certainly going to be more shows announced along the way, once the development process is allowed to continue. And so far, all of the shows that have been announced as canceled are staying that way, though in this environment, who knows how things are going to play out?
Question: I’m curious about the actor who played Hamish Goames on Nat Geo’s Barksins. Was he Richard III in Starz’s The White Queen? —Carol Matt Roush: Good catch. The Welsh actor Aneurin Barnard was Richard in that historical drama, and he can also be seen in the 2016 miniseries version of War and Peace, and he appeared opposite a pre-Killing Eve Jodie Comer in the BBC mystery Thirteen.

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA
2020 Toyota C-HR Limited
W
hen one strives to stand out – like going out on the limb with a way different style – there always stands the chance that the result will be a “you either love it, or hate it” reaction. Pink hair. Blue hair. Purple hair. Maybe, I’m old fashioned, but something about it just doesn’t look right to me. When the folks at Japanese car importer Toyota began toying with the idea of the crossover SUV CH-R model a few years Peter Perrotta back, it began as a very edgy looking and sculpted concept car. A lot of these types of cars never make it to the mass market production line. But, Toyota went out on the limb in 2018 and introduced the C-HR crossover as a worldwide, mass market production car. The CH-Rs that are sold in the United States are actually made in Turkey. To be honest, I had never even heard of this model until the publicist from Toyota scheduled me for a one week test drive for review recently. When I told my brother, who sells Toyota’s in Minnesota, that I was going to be test driving one he said, “You’re going to hate it.” Well, after one week behind the wheel of the 2020 Toyota CH-R Limited recently, I must confess, I didn’t hate it. I kind of liked it, with some reservations. First off, before I get into all the technical details, being the journalist that I am, I rushed to research just why this compact crossover is called the CH-R. The answer is a bit confusing, but here goes. It stands for Compact High Rider, Cross Hatch Run-about or Coupe High Rider. At first glance, the exterior of this vehi-
SUBMITTED PHOTO
2020 Toyota C-HR Limited
cle looks like a very snazzy, sculpted flying wedge with the back end of the car sitting up noticeably higher than the front end. Hence, all those different CH-R names. In it’s review, Car and Driver gave the CH-R high marks for what it termed its “look at me” styling “cheeky interior design” and “plenty of standard features”. In fact, it is a stylish looking cross over SUV, the smallest Toyota offers in its lineup. In a very edgy design feature, the handles for the rear doors of this compact SUV are located at the top of the windows. When I first attempted to open one of the back doors, it threw me for a loop for a few seconds. I had never seen a design like this. But, at the end of the day, for this vehicle that design fits and works. The front seat cockpit and passenger seat ergonomics are superior, nicely designed and comfortable. The back seat, on the other hand, is a bit cramped. The sticking points – and issues most car reviewers have knocked it for – is the fact that this vehicle is not offered in a fourwheel-drive drive train and only comes with a somewhat inadequate 2.0 liter, four
cylinder engine that puts out a modest 144 horsepower. Quite frankly, this car is crying out for a turbo boost engine so that it can get a little more giddy up than the 0 to 60 in 11 seconds performance. The 2.0 liter engine is coupled with the ever popular CVT (continuously variable transmission). These transmissions don’t shift gears, using one continuous gear mode instead. When you stomp on the accelerator, for quick passes or entrance ramp acceleration, the engine just sort of sits there and whines. When I asked my brother if they sell a lot of these CH-Rs in Minnesota he said that the fact that it isn’t offered with a fourwheel-drive option is a major drawback, especially in a snowy state. Whether or not Toyota has any plans to add a bit more power and a four-wheeldrive option remains to be seen. On the positive side of that, the 2.0 liter engine is fuel efficient. The EPA Department of Transportation fuel economy ratings for this car come in at an impressive 29 miles per gallon aver-
age – with 31 MPG on the highway and 27 in city driving. The EPA estimates that the average annual fuel cost of operating the CH-R is a modest $1,400 as it uses about 3.4 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. Toyota offers the 2020 CH-R in three different trim levels, the base LE (starting at $22,415), the mid level XLE ($24,450) and the top of the line Limited ($27,470). The test car I drove for one week was the Limited model in Hot Lava with silver/ black. The base MSRP sticker price – with destination included – was $27,470. The only additional options on my tester were $465 for an audio plus HD upgraded radio and $500 for two-tone paint. The final sticker price on the tester came in at $28,435. As most Toyotas do, this car gets high quality points for its structure, design and safety. On the government’s 5-star safety ratings crash test it received an overall 5-star rating. For the frontal crash test it received five stars for driver side and four for the passenger. In the side crash test, it got five stars for both the front seat and rear seat tests. And, on the rollover test it got four stars. The all important these days, infotainment system in this car is above average. It features an 8-inch touchscreen with six speakers. The audio system is average. However, the functionality of the infotainment system is good. It is fairly easy to sync up your phone, music (from a iPod) and connect to the Apple Car Play or Android Auto system for navigation. Overall, the CH-R is worth checking out if you are in the market for a compact crossover SUV. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it is sure to attract enough consumers to make this an interesting consideration in this segment. Peter Perrotta’s On The Road column appears weekly.

The event included statements from local community organizers, students and borough officials and information stations with voter registration. The first event was held on May 31 with the support of the NAACP and the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement, which drew 300 people. The rallies were held in response to the events in Minneapolis. George Floyd, an African American man, died after Minneapolis Police Department Officer Derek
Chauvin, a white man, knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes after pinning him to the ground during an arrest on May 25. Chauvin was charged with second-degree murder on May 29. Three other officers, Tou Thao, Thomas Lane and J. Alexander Kueng, were charged with aiding and abetting Floyd’s murder on June 3. Following the rallies, HRC held two community discussion series via Zoom. On June 24, the topic discussion was “How to be a better ally to our black neighbors” and on June 29, the topic discussion was “How to be a better ally to our LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) neighbors”.
July 15, 2020J
Mayor Jonathan Busch said the rallies were incredibly moving. He noted since he became mayor in 2017, there have been five rallies on national topics including race and immigration in the borough. On June 3, Busch signed Former President Barack Obama’s Mayor’s Pledge to form a commission made up of residents to help review borough policies and use of force procedures. He said he has been working with Metuchen Police Chief David Irizarry on ways the department and borough can work together on the issues of police policy reform. He said the borough’s participation in the national commitment to action will en-
sure the Metuchen Police Department remains one of the strongest and most compassionate departments in the state. “If the George Floyd incident taught us anything, we can never be too careful on the way we address residents and citizens,” Busch has said. The mayor said Rev. Ronald Owens, senior pastor of New Hope Baptist Church, will lead the commission. He said more information about the commission will be announced in the next few weeks. For more information contact the HRC at HumanRelations@metuchen.com or visit the commission’s social media pages on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

PAYMENTS INTEREST
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.
