Roth named Allentown administrator By MARK ROSMAN Managing Editor

everal months after voting to create the new position of borough administrator, members of the Allentown Borough Council have appointed Laurie A. Roth, the current municipal clerk, to a twoyear term in that new job. Roth’s initial term as borough administrator will run from March 15, 2021 through March 14, 2023, following a vote by council members on March 16. Asked for a comment by the Examiner, Mayor Thomas Fritts said, “Laurie Roth has done a great deal in her employment with the borough to change the culture in Borough Hall. “Residents and members of the business community appreciate her communicativeness, transparency, attention to detail and emphasis on customer service. “Promoting her to borough administrator was a no-brainer. She has the full support of the governing body in this new role,” the mayor said. Roth said she will remain as Allentown’s municipal clerk and her job title will be Borough Administrator/Municipal Clerk. She told the Examiner she will “complete all duties (of both positions) regardless of their time commitment. I am on call 24/7 for any emergencies that may occur within the borough’s borders.” Regarding the new position, Roth said, “The creation of the borough administrator position shows a shift in the daily operation of Allentown from reactive to proactive.

Gangs of London By Rick Gables

he critically acclaimed action-drama Gangs of London, from award-winning filmmaker Gareth Evans, will make its U.S. television debut Sunday, April 4, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on AMC. Set in the heart of one of the world’s most dynamic and multicultural cities, the series stars a multi-talented ensemble cast. For 20 years, Finn Wallace (Colm Meaney) was the most powerful criminal in London. But now he is dead – and nobody knows who ordered the hit. With rivals everywhere, it’s up to the impulsive Sean Wallace (Joe Cole), with the help of the Dumani family, headed by Ed Dumani (Lucian Msamati), to take his father’s place. If the situation wasn’t already dangerous enough, Sean’s assumption of power causes ripples in the world of international crime. Perhaps the one man who might be able to help him and be his ally is Elliot Finch (Dìrísù). But as the wind of fate blows, Elliot finds himself transported to the inner workings of the largest criminal organization in London.

Gangs of London

PBS’ American Masters turns up the volume on the life and legacy of a jazz music legend with Never Too Late: The Doc Severinsen Story, premiering Friday, April 2, at 9 p.m. ET (check your local PBS listings). The

documentary film features new conversations with Doc Severinsen as well as original interviews with Questlove, Chris Botti, Arturo Sandoval, Bob Saget and Martin Mull. After more than 30 years as the colorful bandleader of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, Severinsen continues to defy nature well into his 90s with a grueling schedule of touring, performing and teaching. The film traces the life and groundbreaking career of the unstoppable musical icon, revealing his personal trials and underscoring a remarkable journey of inspiration and obsession. In 1992, when Carson retired from The Tonight Show, Severinsen moved to Mexico with his third wife. However, the band leader could not give up performing. ABC will premiere its new comedy series Home Economics on Wednesday, April 7, at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT. The series takes a look at the heartwarming, yet super uncomfortable and sometimes frustrating relationship among three adult siblings (one in the 1%, one middle-class, one barely holding on.) The comedy stars Topher Grace (also executive producer), Caitlin McGee, Jimmy Tatro, Karla Sousa, Sasheer Zamata, Shiloh Bearman, Jordyn Curet and JeCobi Swain. The series is inspired by the life of writer and executive producer Michael Colton.

YOUR TURN

Warehouse will become a blight on Upper Freehold Township

hen I moved to Upper Freehold Township, it was a lifelong dream. When I was in my 20’s, before Interstate 195 existed, I was taking a drive through Roosevelt and the Assunpink Wildlife Management Area when all of a sudden the woods opened up to open farmland. Immediately, I was at an intersection with the most pastoral scene I have ever seen; a beautiful line of colonial houses, neatly bordered by white picket fences, surrounded by perfectly manicured farmland. That is why when the opportunity came to purchase a house on Cox’s Corner, I jumped at the opportunity to save this house, and this corner, from the chopping block of modern development. Upper Freehold Township is unique, it is one of the last holdouts in Monmouth County of rural beauty, and the reason why our residents fight so hard to keep it that way. Now, NP Freehold Industrial, LLC, (NorthPoint Development) is proposing to construct a 566,840-square-foot building on Westhaven Farm on Route 524 in Upper Freehold Township. NorthPoint Development is seeking a use variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment because a warehouse is not a permitted use in the Research, Office and Manufacturing (ROM) zone in which it is being proposed. NorthPoint Development is also seeking variances from local municipal standards that would permit the building to be 50 feet tall (the maximum permitted height

in the ROM zone is 35 feet). The public hearing regarding the plan is scheduled to continue on April 19. A 50-foot-tall behemoth of a building and an increase by the thousands of daily car traffic down our little curvy road is not part of that beauty. Here are some of the reasons why this application should not be approved.

Wildlife Habitat:

• Westhaven Farm has had migratory waterfowl use its land for many years. Snow Geese are migratory birds and this area is one of the few areas in the country where they winter. A study should be done to determine the impact on such migration and wintering grounds in Upper Freehold Township, specifically the Ashby Creek Historical Aspect: watershed area of the township; • Bald eagles use the Westhaven Farm • Merino Hill is on the national historic area and fields as hunting grounds, and sites register, as well as Ye Old Robbins have been observed in this area; juvenile Burying Place which is going to be desig- and adult eagles.

A slapdash traffic study was touring groups and car tours. performed by NorthPoint Development in

September 2020 during the height of coronavirus lockdown. It seems the developer’s lawyers also put a slapdash study of the wetlands around the proposed development site on the table. A more detailed study needs to be done to study the impact on the surrounding indigenous and migratory wildlife. When I drive to northern New Jersey and see the sprawl, I am thankful for where I live and the beauty I see every day. When I see the number of abandoned warehouses with forlorn looking “For Sale” signs in Monroe Township and Cranbury, I know a good idea on paper will only result in crumbling sprawl later on down the road. The developer who is currently before our zoning board cannot even pin down one committed company to move into its proposed warehouse in Upper Freehold Township. The proposal to develop beautiful Westhaven Farm into a warehouse site should not happen. It is as if the applicant’s planners took out a map of the area and found a spot close to Interstate 195 and threw an application into our zoning board. All they looked at was a map and bingo, they sent in an application. Our zoning board does not allow buildings higher than 35 feet and it does not allow warehouses in this section of the community. We believe any zoning variance will not create ratables in our township, but will create havoc.

Penny Otte is a resident of Upper Freehold Township.

Tittel, advocate for environmental causes, to retire from Sierra Club

eff Tittel, the director of the Sierra Club’s New Jersey Chapter, has announced he will retire as of May 1. According to a press release, for nearly 23 years Tittel has been an advocate for the environment. He has been involved in every major piece of environmental legislation that has been passed in New Jersey since 1998. Tittel worked for the passage of the following legislation: • Saving Sterling Forest – This 25-year battle resulted in one of the most significant open space victories in the nation. Ul-

timately, 20,000 acres of forest were saved in one of the largest coalitions of environmental groups and government entities ever assembled; • The New Jersey Highlands Act – 2004: The Highlands Water Protection and Planning Act is a landmark piece of legislation that put critical protections in place for one of New Jersey’s most environmentally sensitive and ecologically important areas; • New Jersey’s Clean Car Program – 2004: Sometimes characterized as New Jersey’s “first major climate response bill,” the program brings New Jersey in line with

Tittel worked closely with the Delaware Riverkeeper Network and the Water Defenders on the campaign that resulted in this decision. “I would like to thank everyone who I had the pleasure of working with over the years as New Jersey Sierra Club’s director and the accomplishments we made together,” Tittel was quoted as saying in the press release. “You have been part of my extended

Administrator (Continued from page 1)

“By having a centralized administrative position responsible for the day-to-day business of operating the municipality, the governing body will have the opportunity to focus on policy-making and legislation. “With the governing body’s aggressive agenda and the increasing requirements placed on the borough by the state, the time has come for Allentown to streamline municipal operations. “I am proud to serve the community in this new role and will work hard to find more efficient ways to bring services to our community while better managing our resources,” Roth said. Roth has worked for Allentown since November 2015 in roles that include acting municipal clerk/registrar; municipal clerk/registrar; public information officer; and now borough administrator/municipal clerk. She also serves as Allentown’s assessment search officer, Community Development Block Grant representative, Central Jersey Health Insurance Fund commissioner, designated employee representative, human resource officer, Monmouth County Municipal Joint Insurance Fund commissioner, indigent burial coordinator, public agent compliance officer, public information officer, registrar, individual responsible for federal Department of Transportation grants, safety coordinator, Sustainable New Jersey agent and liaison to the municipal court. Roth holds a master’s degree in administrative science from Fairleigh Dickinson University and a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Penn State University. Prior to working in Allentown, she worked for eight years as the assistant to the administrator and mayor/human resource manager in Eatontown. Fritts previously told the Examiner he is not certain if Allentown has ever had an administrator, but he said there has not been one since 1972 when the current municipal code was adopted.

Delivering More Than A Package By Paul Hall

ho do you think of as a spy? Your neighbor? Your best friend? Your spouse? Is there a difference between a spy and those individuals, or are they one in the same? In the new film The Courier, in theaters now, we see just how close the line is between simple human behavior and espionage. Greville Wynne (Benedict Cumberbatch) is an extremely successful British businessman and he knows how to close deals. The international community is his specialty, as he knows just how to make every customer feel like they are important. He has done business in many regions of the world, but he doesn’t currently have any dealings in the Soviet Union. That is about to change. Wynne is introduced to Dickie Franks

(Angus Wright) and Emily Donovan (Rachel Brosnahan), who have a proposition for him. MI6 and the CIA are interested in Russian movements abroad and they have a source within the Russian government sharing Khrushchev’s intentions. Enlisting Wynne to make a trip to the Soviet Union on a trade mission will be expected and welcomed by the Russian government, but what his contact will send back is vital to stopping Russian aggression. It is on his initial trade mission that Wynne meets the source, Oleg Penkovsky (Merab Ninidze). Penkovsky is a Russian colonel who simply wants to stop the destruction of the Western world and has decided to work with the West’s intelligence agencies. The contact between Penkovsky and Wynne was supposed to be a simple in and out, but with increasingly sensitive information becoming available, they bond and become friends, which just may be what is needed to save millions of

individuals. Cumberbatch is riveting in his performance as Wynne. A man who is initially brought in for his ability to blend into the background, he becomes the centerpiece of the explosive and critical relationship formed between the two men. He understands his character’s development from understated and reserved to ambitious and forthcoming. Ninidze (Homeland) is a veteran actor who knows how to deliver a performance as Penkovsky. With a single glance he is able to display urgency, regret or concern at a moment’s notice. It is the performances of Cumberbatch and Ninidze that make this film special. The story of The Courier is, as with

many spy tales, not well known to a new generation of individuals. I found myself craving the next development, living Wynne’s highs and lows right alongside him and hoping things would be resolved in a positive light. All of these elements make for a successful and intriguing film that will enlighten and entertain. Sure, a simple courier may deliver a package to you at any time. But The Courier will deliver so much more. Paul’s Grade: B The Courier Rated PG-13 Stars: Benedict Cumberbatch, Merab Ninidze, Rachel Brosnahan Director: Dominic Cooke

family and I will miss our camaraderie. “We worked from one end of New Jersey to the other and everywhere in between, whether it was working to protect the Pinelands, cleaning up toxic sites, protecting our parks, reducing climate change impacts, saving open space in the Highlands, protecting our clean water and more. “Moving on was a hard decision. However, given that I have spent 51 years as an environmental activist and almost 23 years as the New Jersey chapter director, I felt it was time to make a change,” Tittel said. Rich Isaac, chair of the Sierra Club’s New Jersey Chapter, said, “Jeff has worked tirelessly in Trenton working to protect our state’s clean air, water and soil, to fight for the rights of people living in overburdened communities and to combat climate change. He will leave some very big shoes to fill.” Congressman Frank Pallone (D-NJ) said Tittel “knows more about environmental issues on the state and federal levels than anyone I know.” New Jersey State Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg (D-Bergen) said, “It is hard to imagine the Sierra Club with-

out Jeff Tittel. He was never shy, never retiring, never someone who is afraid to fight for the values of the Sierra Club, as well as his own. “He has contributed mightily to a cleaner environment for me and for all the generations who come after us. His leadership will be missed, but I know he has built an organization that will continue to fight for a better, cleaner future,” Weinberg said. Matt Smith, New Jersey director of Food and Water Watch, said, “Nobody has

a better handle on New Jersey environmental policy than Jeff Tittel. And like the great basketball guards of the modern game, Jeff understands you need a strong inside and outside game to excel. “With his leadership, the New Jersey Sierra Club organized a powerful network of volunteer groups in every region of the state. And unlike some contemporaries who rely on expensive lobbying and slick public relations campaigns, Jeff has consistently paired his policy expertise and

political savvy with a deep commitment to grassroots organizing. “This combination has made him one of the most effective environmental guardians in Garden State history, whose contributions to the movement will be felt for generations to come,” Smith said. Tittel co-founded Empower NJ, a 120plus member coalition that is working to stop new fossil fuel infrastructure projects in New Jersey, according to the press release.

According to the resolution, other bids were received from Cypreco Industries Inc. ($563,212); M&M Construction ($496,000); G. Koustas Painting & Construction ($487,000); Altec Building Systems ($462,003); Mibo Construction Company Inc. ($444,325); and J.H. Williams Enterprises Inc. ($388,400). The development of Millstone Park has been ongoing since 2016. Municipal officials declared the first phase of the project complete in early 2020, although the park has not yet been opened to the public. The park will have nine general purpose fields (six with lights), restrooms, a kitchen serving facility, a trail that can be used for walking, jogging and horseback riding, a playground, and a boat-accessible pond that can be used for fishing and irrigation. In other business, committee members entered into an agreement with the Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners to provide the Special Citizen Area

Transportation (SCAT) program to Millstone Township in 2021. As stated in a resolution, the SCAT program serves senior citizens and disabled residents of Monmouth County. The service provides food shopping transportation under contract with Monmouth County municipalities. And, committee members extended a contract with Central Jersey Waste & Recycling Inc. for the curbside pickup of recyclable materials into 2021. The contract is in the amount of $247,138 and will be effective until Dec. 31, 2021, according to a resolution. Finally, the committee awarded a $74,575 contract to Marathon Engineering and Environmental Services, Swedesboro, for environmental consulting services. According to a resolution, the firm will provide consulting services related to a proposed wastewater disposal system at Burnt Tavern Road.

NEWS BRIEFS

JAR of Hope, a foundation researching a cure for a fatal children’s disease called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, has just received good news. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to begin clinical trials of a compound called JAR914. Since September 2019, JAR of Hope has helped to fund this new IND, according to a press release. “We are fighting to save the lives of children with a disease for which there is currently no cure,” said Jim Raffone, the CEO and founder of JAR of Hope. “This FDA approval will allow us to continue our efforts to find a cure with our ‘Operation: LifeLine’ initiative.” Jim and Karen Raffone started JAR of Hope after their son, James Anthony, now 11, was diagnosed with Duchenne in 2013, according to the press release. Some members of the scientific community believe JAR914 can possibly extend the lives of children who have Duchenne. JAR of Hope has permission to involve up to 12 children in the clinical studies, which will focus on the safety of the children and the efficacy of the compound, according to the press release. About 20,000 children in the United States have Duchenne. Statistically, that means perhaps 500 to 600 children live in New Jersey and perhaps twice that number live in New York state, according to the press release.

Jackson planners approve application for new diner

dBy CHARLES DAYE -Staff Writer n y JACKSON – Members of the Jackson Planning Board have approved an appliacation that proposed the construction of a diner on Route 537 (Monmouth Road), -near the Six Flags Great Adventure theme park. f The applicant, Lirama, LLC, JB’s .Diner, sought preliminary and final major site plan approval during the board’s aFeb. 22 meeting. The building will have ga 6,500-square-foot dining area and a ,5,400-square-foot basement, according to -the application. - The diner will have a private well and a -septic system. t Attorney Dennis Galvin represented the applicant and said the plan is for “JB’s Diner in Jackson. It is not the Jackson Diner. There is no relationship to any diner in town.” He said the site for JB’s Diner is just beyond the Great Adventure employee entrance. g “A virgin wooded area is going to be ndeveloped as it is supposed to be develsoped,” Galvin said. The applicant sought several variances, including one for proximity to a residential zone. “The odds are that the property to our east will be developed commercially as ,soon as they can find a reasonable person to come in and use that property,” Galvin esaid. 2 He said he spoke with the owners of the -property and they did not express any objection to the plan for the diner. A parking variance was also requested. nGalvin said the parking requirement described in a municipal ordinance was for the total size of the building. He said there would be sufficient parking for the dining area. The applicant proposed 130 parking spaces. Rakesh Darji, a professional engineer and planner, testified on behalf of the applicant. He said the property is in a Highway Commercial zone. “The basement space is going to be used for a small office … in-house baked goods, cold storage and space for equipment and supplies. There will be no seating, no other preparation, down there,” Darji said. Access to JB’s Diner will be from Route 537. “The site fronts on Route 537 between Millstone Township and Jackson, and this portion of the road is under Monmouth

County’s jurisdiction,” Darji said. He testified that the applicant’s representatives met with representatives of the county to come up with acceptable access to the site. The site design will accommodate passenger vehicles, tractor-trailer deliveries and garbage trucks for the collection of trash and recyclable materials. Owner-applicant Cupertino Herrera owns a diner on Route 33 in Howell. He said the diner in Jackson will operate in a similar fashion. He said the diner in Jackson would have about 25 employees during peak hours of operation. Herrera said he had been looking for property in Jackson for some time. Board member Joe Riccardi asked if the storage space at the Howell diner is similar to what was being proposed at the Jackson location. Herrera said the storage space is similar and said it works fine in Howell. Riccardi asked about seating at the Howell location, as a point of reference. Herrera said the Howell diner seats 200 guests. “200, so you are used to this volume, you know what you are talking about. You have done this before, this is a business you know,” Riccardi said to Herrera. The proposed hours of operation for JB’s Diner are 6 a.m. to midnight. Resident Raymond Hendrickson said he is on the lot immediately to the right of the applicant’s property and said he did not speak with anyone connected to the application. He also expressed concern about light pollution and people turning around on his property. Galvin clarified he was not speaking about Hendrickson earlier in the meeting, but the lot owner west of the diner property. The attorney said he made a directional mistake and apologized. “As far as the fencing, what would you like there?” Galvin asked Hendrickson. Hendrickson said he would like a 6-foot-tall fence and said he did not have a preference for the type of material the applicant would use. Following the conclusion of testimony and public comment, a motion was made to approve the JB’s Diner application. Voting “yes” on the motion were board Chairman Robert Hudak, Vice Chairman Leonard Haring Jr., Jackson Business Administrator Terence Wall, Michele Campbell, Township Councilman Martin Flemming, Manuela Brito, Jeffrey Riker, Andrew Jozwicki and Riccardi.

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA

2021 Buick Envision Essence FWD

ver the past few years, General Motors (GM) has spent a lot of time and money trying to “spice up” its Buick brand. First introduced in 1904 – 117 years ago – this iconic American brand had come to represent a solid, good quality automobile that perhaps lacked some pizzaz but was the kind of car your grandfather would own. In recent years, GM has jazzed up its Buick line making it more contemPeter Perrotta porary looking. It also juiced its ad campaign for the brand – especially television commercials – attempting to reach out to a younger generation demographic. Five years ago, it introduced a totally new compact crossover SUV to its lineup, the Envision. The Envision was truly unique. It was actually initially introduced in China in 2014 and was sold under its Chinese name: “Ang Ke Wei.” In the summer of 2016 it first went on sale in the United States making it the first Chinese-built GM vehicle to ever be sold in America. For 2021 Buick gave the Envision a makeover making it sportier and more aggressive looking while maintaining its luxury status. More than 90% of the Envision’s parts are made in China, including its engine and transmission. This vehicle’s final assembly plant is located in the Yantai Etdz province in China. I recently settled behind the wheel of a 2021 Buick Envision Essence FWD for one week to put this newly redesigned model through its paces. Overall, this version of the Envision is somewhat luxurious – not up to the snuff of a BMW or Mercedes – but it sits on the fringes of luxury. It is very comfortable. The ride is smooth – albeit not overly nimble or athletic – and it’s plenty roomy. The interior ergonomics are solid, but not overly impressive. The Essence version of the Envision I tested carries a base sticker price of

2021 Buick Envision Essence

$35,800. My tester had a bottom line sticker price – with added options and destination and delivery – of $39,990. The technology package, a $2,500 option, includes an upgraded 10-inch touch screen and a Bose 9 speaker sound system. One thing I really thought was a great new design feature for this Envision was how they positioned the 10-inch touch screen that literally controls all of the car’s functions. The front dash is designed such that the 10-inch touch screen protrudes out a bit and is angled toward the driver. This is a fantastic design concept that more car makers should embrace. It enables the driver to more easily see and interact with the touch screen without having to stretch your neck or hands around to touch or see the screen. In most cars these days, these screens, no matter how fancy or impressive, are still mounted flat into the dash and not angled towards the driver’s sight line. The design and layout of the screen in the Envision is truly awesome. It allows the driver to safely interact with the touch screen controls for navigation, phone, music or climate without having to take your

eyes off of the road. I think this is a much safer system than provided for in most vehicles these days. The Envision Essence I drove came equipped with a 2.0 liter, four-cylinder turbo charged engine that puts out 228 horsepower. This power plant is paired with a nine-speed transmission. I found the Essence model to be adequately powered and smooth. It won’t blow you away with its performance, but at the same time, it is more than capable in any traffic situation. There is a “mode” selector button located on the center console that enables the driver to select what type of driving style is preferred – sport, touring or eco. The sport mode gives the Envision a racier edge. For the most part, this car seemed to perform and prefer to be in the touring mode. I think the genetic makeup of this model is better suited for the more comfortable touring option. I must say, I logged quite a few highway miles in this Envision during the week I drove it and it is a very comfortable car to take on a long trip. It cruises smoothly and effortlessly under highway driving conditions.

The EPA fuel ratings for the 2021 Envision are 26 miles per gallon overall – 31 mpg for highway driving and 24 mpg in city driving. The EPA estimates that the annual fuel cost for operating the Envision comes in at around a modest $1,550 per year. It uses 3.8 gallons of gas for every 100 miles driven. This model of the Envision has not been safety crash tested under the government’s 5-star safety ratings yet. The editors at Car and Driver gave the Envision high marks for having a stylish exterior, low price compared to its competitors and smooth ride. They also said its acceleration was disappointing and its driving dynamics were not up to snuff. If you are in the market for a compact SUV crossover, I would recommend considering the Envision. It may not overwhelm you at first, but it is a choice that checks off enough boxes all around to make it a worthy contender. Peter Perrotta’s On The Road column appears regularly.

NEWS BRIEFS An increase has been authorized by the Township Committee in Millstone Township in a contract for improvements to municipal roads. On March 3, committee members approved a $60,400 increase in a $1.41 million contract that had been awarded to Meco Inc. for the 2020 road improvement project. The contract will now total $1.47 million. According to a resolution, the change order was issued after Township Engineer Matt Shafai requested additional work for drainage improvements and repairs. The additional work included drainage improvements and repairs on Parkside Way, Quail Hill Road, Alpine Drive, Emmons Drive and Graham Place. In other township news, committee members appointed Annely Gomez as a technical assistant to the construction official. The position has an annual salary of $48,000. And, committee members authorized the Monmouth County Mosquito Control Division to conduct aerial mosquito control operations in Millstone. A resolution was required because Millstone is designated as a “congested area” by the Federal Aviation Administration. Finally, committee members authorized a jurisdictional agreement between Millstone Township and the state for highway maintenance and control of Route 33 intersections and municipal streets from DeBaun Road to Millstone Road. The agreement was made at the request of the New Jersey Department of Transportation.

Blast Off! Buckle Up For The Space Age By David Cohea, ReMIND Magazine

n 1961, America launched into the Space Age. Officially, the Space Age began in 1957 with the launch of Sputnik 1 by the Soviets, but none of that seemed real until a flesh and blood American got up there. That happened not on April 12, 1961, when Soviet Yuri Gagarin launched aboard Vostok 1, but a month later on May 5, when Alan Shepard roared into suborbital space on Freedom 7 for a 15-minute flight to an altitude of 116 miles.

barely pierced the envelope of space, but there was a sense we were headed for the stars. On May 25, new President John F. Kennedy announced that the United States was shooting for the moon — literally: “I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth. No single space project … will be more exciting, or more impressive to mankind, or more important … and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish.” Finally, reality was catching up to the movies. The U.S. space program went into high gear as bigger and bolder rockets launched almost every month from Cape Canaveral in Project Mercury and then the Gemini and Apollo space programs. In 1968, people were working on the moon in Stanley Kubrick’s movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. The next year, Neil Armstrong would be leap-walking there. Thanks to savvy marketing by Madison Avenue’s Mad Men, American consumers in the ’50s became enrapt with the dream of progress. The internet was 30 years away from connecting the digital universe, but that didn’t mean there wasn’t much that was new in 1961. Practically everything was — from color TVs to rock ‘n’ roll, interstate highways to steel-and-glass high-rises, to shopping malls and credit cards and cordless power drills and kitchen appliances. It was Suburbia Plus, and the American imagination in ’61 was unlimited in its horizon of upper-middle-class possibility (as seen in magazines and on TV). Syd Mead worked for Ford’s Advanced Styling Studio in the early ’60s. His Ford Gyron was a futuristic twowheeled gyrocar first shown at the 1961 Detroit Motor Show. Mead went on to become an illustrator for clients like United States Steel and Philips Electronics. The future roared to life in his sleekly imagined conveyances and conveniences. Charles Schridde was hired that year by

Motorola to create a series of ads featuring futuristic houses with the Illinois company’s TVs. The company had just released the first transistorized remote control for TV, and they wanted to promote their luxury sets for the automated suburban lifestyle. The ads were wildly popular, and Motorola loved the product placement in everyone’s favorite future. Everywhere you looked, America was taking off. Cars grew space-age fins and missile-shaped bumpers. Mid-century modern home design offered angular furniture and atomic-age lamps. Sci-fi magazines offered visions of star travel in spaceships designed like shopping malls. Urban designers imagined smooth traffic flows and controlled environments. Office automation was taking over the workplace — or so said the marketers of business machines. For modern employers there were phone answering machines, electronic calculators, dictation machines and photocopiers. Heady stuff if you were in business, although workers were anxious about robots occupying their desks. It wouldn’t come out for another year, but Hanna-Barbera was working on a primetime cartoon series to pair with its dino-comedy The Flintstones. About a Space-Age family, The Jetsons would prove remarkably prescient about things common today, like video phones, flatscreen TVs, robots and push-button food. The year had its sci-fi movies, from Cold War chillers like Battle of the Worlds to the atomic spawnfests Mothra and Gorgo. But as if to pump the brakes on America’s rockets-to-the-moon fantasy, the hit of the year was a black-and-white Disney film titled The Absent-Minded Professor, with Fred MacMurray starring as a chemistry professor who stumbles onto the formula for flying rubber – Flubber – and uses it to fly about in a Model T. Whatever Space Age enthusiasms ruled Madison Avenue, a slower and more sedate future still held sway with the rest of us. Perhaps by 1961 the future was already coming at us too fast.

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 my necessity (make request). There are none that can withstand Your power.
