Title of ‘county commissioner’ will replace ‘freeholder’ in 2021 By MARK ROSMAN Managing Editor
T
he five officials who comprise Monmouth County’s governing body will reorganize for 2021 in a meeting to be held at 4 p.m. Jan. 7 at the Collins Arena on the campus of Brookdale Community College, Lincroft. The 2021 reorganization meeting will mark a milestone in Monmouth County government as the panel changes its centuries-old name from the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders to the Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners. The name change complies with legislation Gov. Phil Murphy signed into law in 2020 that became effective on Jan. 1. The legislation requires the title of “chosen freeholder” to be changed to “county commissioner” and all “boards of chosen freeholders” to be known as “boards of county commissioners.” In a press release, Murphy was quoted as saying, “We have an obligation to ensure that governance in New Jersey is inclusive and representative of the tremendous diversity of our great state. Amid a national reckoning to re-examine vestiges rooted in structural racism, this action will eliminate the use of the term ‘freeholder’ in county government – a title that is an outgrowth of a time when people of color and women were excluded from public office.”
The members of the 2021 Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners will be Thomas A. Arnone, Susan M. Kiley, Nick DiRocco, Lillian G. Burry and Ross Licitra. All five commissioners are Republicans. In the Nov. 3 election, Burry and Licitra defeated Democrats Michael Penna and Moira Nelson in the race for two threeyear terms on the board. Licitra won his first term on the board, while Burry was re-elected to continue her service to the county. Official results posted online by the Monmouth County Clerk’s Office showed Burry receiving 199,277 votes and Licitra receiving 197,823 votes to win the seats. Penna received 163,321 votes and Nelson received 160,812 votes. There are 53 municipalities in Monmouth County. County government in New Jersey dates back to 1798. The responsibilities of the governing body include legislative and executive functions, including the oversight and regulation of county property and finances; the upkeep of 380 miles of county roads and nearly 1,000 bridges; maintenance of more than 15,000 acres of county park lands; preparing and adopting the county budget; authorizing expenditures and bonds; appointing county officials and members to boards, commissions and authorities; and supervising the administration of county government, according to the county.
All ages invited to attend virtual talks at Princeton laboratory
T
he Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory’s (PPPL) 36-year tradition of offering weekly informative talks about a wide variety of science subjects will continue with a live online version. The Ronald E. Hatcher Science on Saturday Lecture Series resumes on Jan. 9 from 9:30-11:30 a.m. and continues through March 13 on the Zoom virtual meeting platform. Go to PPPL’s Science Education webpage for the link. The lecture series attracts hundreds of people each week, ranging from high school students to senior citizens who have been coming to the lectures for decades.
The program is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science, according to a press release from the PPPL. The series kicks off with a lecture about “The Renaissance of the Stellarator Fusion Concept,” by PPPL physicist David Gates, head of Advanced Projects. Stellarators, a type of fusion energy facility that has twisty coils, were invented by PPPL founder Lyman Spitzer in the 1950s. The complex devices have been a less popular choice for fusion experiments than donut-shaped tokamaks, but are making a comeback as scientists find new approaches to stellarator design, according to
the press release. Other highlights of the series will include a talk by Geeta Govindarajoo, professor of chemistry at Rutgers University, about the intersection between chemistry and art. Govindarajoo will discuss the role of chemistry in creating and restoring art and detecting forgeries. Questions for the speaker may be asked by tweeting to @PPPLsSciEd or #scionsat The January schedule is: • Jan. 9: David Gates, PPPL, “The Renaissance of the Stellarator Fusion Concept.”

‘Soul’ Sings By Paul Hall
J
oe Gardner (voiced by Jamie Foxx) is a middle school band teacher. He shares his passion for jazz with his students and believes ďŹ nding any bright shining star in the band is heaven. Music is in Joe’s heart, but his mother simply wants him to get a full-time position and, of course, the insurance that comes with it. But Joe still wants to perform, and perform he will in the new animated Disney/Pixar release Soul, available now on Disney+. An offer he can’t refuse comes to Joe, courtesy of a former student, and Joe’s talented performance lands him the opportunity to play with one of his favorite jazz singers, Dorothea Williams (Angela Bassett). But one wrong step and it will all go away and, of course, the man who is oating because of his good fortune takes that one step.
One wrong step and one wrong turn has Joe off to “The Great Before.â€? It is a land that exists to assign new souls their personalities, quirks and interests. Older souls are paired with the new souls to help them unlock their inner makeup. And Joe, even though he shouldn’t be there, ends up paired with 22 (Tina Fey). It is up to him to inspire 22 to round out the soul and prepare it for Earth. The pairing will lead to the two ďŹ nding out more about each other than they

intended as Joe just wants to go back and 22 is happy to exist in The Great Before. Where will the souls of Joe and 22 end up, and what events will take them there? This is a splendid ďŹ lm. Pete Docter, Kemp Powers and the animators at Pixar created characters who are intensely deep in their actual development and yet so simple on the screen that the juxtaposition allows us to sink into their being. Both of our main characters are loaded with layers that come through the screen with a vivid connection. Foxx becomes Joe, a man who oozes jazz from every pore. He is able to show us the will and desire not only from the standpoint of music appreciation, but also as a man who is easily distracted from what is really important. Fey is so good as the seemingly aim-
less 22, who just can’t seem to keep a Guardian. She can do so much through simple voice inection — when 22 is stressed, we feel stressed. And most of all, we fall in love with this character who could be any one of us at one point in our life or another, not knowing where we ďŹ t in. The jazz soundtrack adds its own element of feeling to the ďŹ lm. From the underwhelming — that’s the nice way to say it — performance of Joe’s middle school band to the jazz club audition and simple backings that exist throughout, the music becomes almost a character of its own. Soul is a journey that will take adults through the paces of life, evoking memories both good and bad. The ďŹ lm may have a harder time connecting with the really young kids, as the lovable characters don’t do enormous amounts of singing and dancing. This is an animated ďŹ lm for all that will remind you to let your soul sing, no matter where you are on your own journey.

Will another service pick up ABC’s ‘Stumptown?’ Question: I am still incredibly bummed that ABC canceled Stumptown. Is it gone for good? —Pete Matt Roush: I’ve seen no updates since the proverbial “being shopped aroundâ€? reports at the time of cancellation. The longer time passes and actors and producers move on to new projects, the less likely are the odds of a rescue. Never say never, but for now, consider Stumptown truly canceled. And yes, I’m bummed, too. (But even more so to have it conďŹ rmed that the new version of One Day at a Time appears to have ďŹ nally run out of lifelines.) Question: I haven’t seen if HBO has renewed We Are Who We Are for a second season. Do you have any update? — Unsigned Matt Roush: No news since last month’s ďŹ nale. It hasn’t been renewed or
canceled at this point. It has been reported that series creator Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name) has created a bible of an outline for a second season, should it happen — which I expect it will — but he has other projects lined up and it’s unclear when this could happen, if it happens. It might be even more interesting if there were a signiďŹ cant time jump between seasons to revisit these unsettled and provocative characters at a new stage in their emotional journeys.

Michael Landon America’s Frontier Father Taught Us The Importance of Humor and Attitude. By Sandy Stert Benjamin, ReMIND Magazine
H
ollywood may have seemed like a stretch for Michael Landon, who worked as a stock boy and in blanket sales before finding success as an actor. But his creative side prevailed, and by his mid 20s, Landon was a respected figure in Tinseltown. Born Eugene Maurice Orowitz, once he got his start, he knew he needed a stage name. “When I went to join the Screen Actors Guild, I wanted to be called Michael Lane. Why? I have no idea,” he shared in a 1990 interview. “But, about a week before that, a gentleman who was 6 foot 7 joined the Guild and his name was Michael Lane. I wasn’t about to ask him to find a new identity, so I went to the L’s in the phone book, got to Landon, and
PHOTO CREDIT: MICHAEL LANDON: CREDIT: GETTY IMAGES
thought, ‘Let’s do that.’ ” Landon made his first starring appearance in the 1956-58 TV series Telephone Time, and a year later made his movie debut in I Was a Teenage Werewolf. He credited his early success to keeping a good attitude, a mantra he lived by his entire life.
“I had a great attitude about auditions: I’d think, if I didn’t get the job, it was because the guy auditioning me had no taste! If it isn’t framed that way, the rejection will beat you to death. And I got turned down a lot. But it didn’t bother me because I had blankets to sell — door-todoor! I mean, you had to make a living while you were auditioning,” he said. One of the worst auditions he ever had was after he finished TV’s beloved Western series Bonanza (1959-73), where he played Little Joe for all 14 seasons. “I had finished Bonanza and was in Arizona when my agent called to say that I had a chance to be in this motion picture with a big female star. I told him I was on vacation, but he insisted that I had to be there — tomorrow — and that he’d get me the script. Well, I read it and it was terrible. So my agent says, ‘It doesn’t matter. If you costar as her husband, you’ll be a big star the next day.’ So I get on a plane, I’m at the studio from 9 in the morning to 4:50 in the afternoon, and I wait. Finally, they say they’re ready for me. It’s 10 minutes to 5! I walk in, she looks at her watch and says, ‘I have to be out at 5.’ That was the worst audition I ever had.”
Thankfully, something much bigger awaited, and in 1974 he began directing and starring as the father everyone wanted, Charles Ingalls, on Little House on the Prairie — a role that lasted nine years and forever sealed his fate as one of the most endeared Hollywood legends. “Every script I’ve written and every series I’ve produced have expressed the things I most deeply believe,” Landon had said. This is evidenced by his follow-up project, Highway to Heaven (1984-89), which he executive produced, directed, wrote and starred in as an angel who had been stripped of his wings and had to serve probation on Earth. Offscreen, Landon was credited as being an extraordinary husband and father (he had nine children). When he announced to the world on April 8, 1991, that he was diagnosed with inoperable cancer, he continued to show the world his uplifting attitude and humor. “I think you have to have a sense of humor about everything,” he shared. “I don’t find this particularly funny, but if you’re going to try to go on, if you’re going to try to beat something, you’re not going to do it standing in the corner.” And that he never did.

Aberdeen native teams up with library for special event By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer
S
even years of hard work and research came to fruition for Aberdeen Township native Pete Croatto when his work “From Hang Time to Prime Time: Business, Entertainment and the Birth of the Modern-Day NBA” was released by Atria Books on Dec. 1. The book, which is published by Simon & Schuster, has been featured in Sports Illustrated, The Wall Street Journal and People.com Croatto will share details of his book which describes how the National Basketball Association came to be what it is today, and what it is like to be a freelance writer, in a virtual event sponsored by Matawan-Aberdeen Public Library. On Jan. 14 at 7 p.m., the library will hold an event through Zoom during which Croatto will speak to attendees about his book and the process he went through to produce the work. Registration for the Jan. 14 event is free. Visit https://www.matawanaberdeenlibrary.com and click on the Matawan-Aberdeen Public Library Program Calendar link for more information. “I’m very excited to be doing this event,” Croatto said in an interview. “This book looks at the rise of the NBA as an international business empire and covers its impact on race and social history. I think it will be fun for a variety of people.” Jen A. Miller, a columnist for The New York Times and the author of “Running: A Love Story,” will be the moderator and will interview Croatto.
Pete Croatto
Since Miller and Croatto are full-time freelance writers, Croatto said part of the presentation will be a question and answer session during which people may ask both authors about avenues they should take if they aspire to be a freelance writer. “This will be a good resource for people … on how to be successful at freelance writing,” Croatto said. “I want people to pick up inspiration from the event. I want them to walk away with ‘Hey, I can do it.’ “ Croatto said he is looking at the virtual event as a homecoming to the area, where he said his passion for becoming a writer began at age 13. His parents, Dot and Lou, were instrumental in his journey to becoming a jour-
nalist and an author as they encouraged him to read a lot of books as a child. Dot worked in the field of publishing as a copy editor. Croatto’s parents still live in the house that he and his brother, Dave, grew up at in the Strathmore section of Aberdeen. Croatto said the library was a “home away from home” for him as he was growing up. He got his start in journalism when he attended Matawan Regional High School and began writing for the student newspaper, The HuskieView. He said he learned a lot from the newspaper’s adviser, Bonnie Sachs, who was “extremely encouraging and helpful” to him. While still in high school, Croatto took summer writing classes at Brookdale Community College to further his development as a writer and his passion for writing. After he graduated from high school in 1996, Croatto attended The College of New Jersey, Ewing, where he was a journalist/professional writing major. He graduated in 2000. Writing “From Hang Time to Prime Time: Business, Entertainment and the Birth of the Modern-Day NBA” was “a labor of love. It started in Aberdeen. It was learning to love to write by going to Brookdale for summer writing courses, and to Matawan Regional High School and loving to learn how to read. It’s a homecoming,” he said. Croatto has been writing professionally since 1998. He has published pieces for The New York Times, Grantland, Sports Illustrated, Philadelphia Magazine and GQ.com, among others.
An article Croatto produced for Grantland in 2013 about Marvin Gaye’s performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the 1983 NBA All-Star Game being the pivot point of the league becoming what it is today led him to the idea of writing a book about the league. After talking to people around the NBA like Golden State Warriors President and Chief Operating Officer Rick Welts and to Magic Johnson’s agent Lon Rosen, Croatto gathered the facts he used to produce his book. Seven years of “labor and love” later, Croatto has authored a book that takes the reader into the meetings that led to the merger of the American Basketball Association and the NBA in 1976, and discusses how NBA greats like Julius Erving, Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan grew in the game of basketball on and off the court with their star power and talents. The book describes how Magic Johnson and Larry Bird helped attendance skyrocket and racial lines dissolve, while diving into how the personality-driven coverage of key players by television launched NBA players into unprecedented celebrity status. Croatto said he believes everyone from basketball fans to avid readers will enjoy his book and said he hopes to share those feelings and more during his upcoming virtual event. “Without my time in Aberdeen, there wouldn’t be a book. It’s a book that caters to many people. If people from the community have time to join the event, I would love to see them there,” he said.

Applicant withdraws request for property rezoning By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer
MILLSTONE – A request to rezone a Millstone Township property to accommodate the construction of a warehouse has been withdrawn by the applicant who asked municipal officials to consider taking the action. During a recent Township Committee meeting, representatives of DENJ Inc. appeared before the governing body. Attorney John Giunco asked officials to consider rezoning a parcel on TrentonLakewood Road (Route 526) so the applicant could propose the construction of a warehouse as a permitted use at that location. Giunco explained that his client was seeking to have the property, which is near Interstate 195 and owned by DENJ, rezoned as a business park to permit a warehouse. “The demand in the market has just exploded for warehousing because of distribution and the changes we are seeing in many of the issues resulting from (the coronavirus pandemic),” he said. “A lot of businesses are scrambling for different ways to be able to deliver product to customers and to move products among
their various locations. “From the township’s perspective, (the warehouse) should release an increase in revenues for the benefit of education, for open space, for the fire district and the municipal tax rate,” Giunco said. He said a warehouse would have little, if any, impact on Millstone Township’s resources. “This is a suitable rezoning for the property. It’s in proximity to the existing (business park) zone, it’s adjacent to I-195, it has a direct access from the township to I-195 and our client will direct that traffic. “We believe the project will benefit (the township) by providing employment opportunities, along with the generation of taxes. It provides for a development consistent with the outline of the (business park) zone in the master plan,” Giunco said. However, the proposal drew concerns from municipal officials and residents. Of particular concern was the truck traffic that would be generated by a warehouse. While Mayor Fiore Masci agreed that warehouses are needed in New Jersey, he said the location was not suitable for one. Noting that he was familiar with hearing truck traffic from living in Carteret, which is near the New Jersey Turnpike,
Abernethy appointed as administrator By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer
MILLSTONE – Kevin Abernethy has been appointed to the position of township administrator in Millstone Township for 2021. Throughout 2020, Abernethy served as the acting business administrator. On Dec. 16, Township Committee members appointed Abernethy as the township administrator, effective Jan. 1. In addition, Abernethy was appointed as the temporary chief financial officer (CFO) and the Clean Communities advocate, also effective Jan. 1. Abernethy is Millstone’s first official township administrator since 2019. The position was previously held by Maria Dellasala, who was serving as the municipal clerk and township administrator until her retirement from both positions that year. Following Dellasala’s retirement, Roger Staib was named acting business administrator in early 2019 and held the position
throughout the rest of the year. Staib left his position in January 2020. He passed away in April. Staib was succeeded as acting business administrator by Abernethy, who has held the position ever since. Abernethy has also served as temporary CFO since February, following the retirement of Annette Murphy. According to the municipal website, the township administrator is responsible to the Township Committee for the day-today operations of Millstone. The administrator directs, administers and coordinates the activities of the municipality in full support of policies, goals and objectives established by the governing body. The Finance Department, according to the municipal website, is responsible for planning, directing and administering all work pertaining to the management of the financial resources of the municipality. The department assumes involvement with budget preparation and financial reporting.

and working as a truck driver, Masci emphasized that Millstone is a quiet community. “On Route 526 where this is being proposed, you have people who take that road to go to Allentown High School,” the mayor said. “You have buses that take that road. “Just down the street, there is a recreation facility we put in place with kids and parents. Quite honestly, the last thing we want to do is bring more truck traffic into this area.

“When I drive onto Route 526, it exemplifies everything Millstone stands for. You have this beautiful country road, you have beautiful farms, you have beautiful homes, and the last thing we would want to put there would be something that is the equivalent of nearly 13 football fields, let alone with 157 loading docks, 186 trailer space and 228 cars. To me, this is not the site for it,” Masci said. After hearing the response to the proposal, Giunco said his client was withdrawing the request for the rezoning.

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA
2021 BMW 430i xdrive Coupe
W
here’s the traditional kidney designed front grille that has been BMW’s trademark for decades? Well, for the newly designed 2021 BMW 430i xDrive Coupe it is pretty much non-existent. If you turn your head sideways when you look at the front end of the 2021 430i, you can kind of see remnants of the former design. But, in reality, it’s a real stretch. I must admit, I often wondered when BMW was going to switch up Peter Perrotta from its trademark kidney designed front grille. But, now that its here, I kind of miss the old styled front grille we all got so used to seeing. But time marches on and change is good, so let’s give the new, bigger, bolder front grille design the new 2021 430i xDrive sports a chance to grow on us. But that is not all that has changed with the new generation 4 series – first introduced in 2014. Compared to the previous generation, the 2021 4 series coupe is 5.2 inches longer, 1.0 inch wider, 0.4 inches taller and features a 1.6 inch longer wheel base, 1.4 inch wider front and 1.2 wider rear track. Car and Driver calls the newly redesigned 4 series “controversial” without really saying why. I am only left to assume that they are referring to the dramatically changed front grille. Well, at the end of the day folks, what the front grille looks like, to me, is neither here nor there. It’s how it feels and drives once you get behind the wheel. I must say, for all the years I’ve been reviewing cars, I remain partial to how BMWs drive. Now I know that not everyone agrees with me or feels the same way, but for me, BMWs almost fit like a glove. They seem to fit my body style and my driving style, so it’s a win-win.
2021 BMW 430i xdrive Coupe
The 2021 BMW 430i Xdrive I just test drove for one week did nothing to change my opinion of the BMW line. In fact, the newly redesigned 4 series enhanced it. So what is it about this 4 series I liked so much? The car is very driveable. By that, I mean it is very adaptable to many different driving styles and weather conditions. This car is very aerodynamic and sticks to the road in any kind of driving condition, especially foul weather. Case in point, on Christmas Eve I had to make about a 20-mile round trip run at just before midnight when there was a driving, pelting rain and high winds. I drove this 4 series coupe through the storm without much head wind or rain getting in the way and felt confident while driving it. There aren’t too many vehicles out there I could say that about. More succinctly, you can drive this car hard and aggressive like a race car with
confidence, or you can simply put the drive mode selector in “comfort” mode and drive it more conservatively as well. It adapts quite nicely. My tester was powered by a 255 horsepower four cylinder turbo engine. It is also available in a 383 horsepower in line 6 cylinder engine I found the 4 cylinder version of the 4 series to be more than adequately powered. The 2021 BMW 430i Xdrive Coupe carries a base price of $47,600. My tester had a bottom line sticker price, with options and destination, of $61,200. The added option packages included: $3,800 for the sporty M Sport Package; $2,450 for a dynamic handling package; $2,300 for a premium package; $1,450 for a black leather interior with blue stitching. The premium package includes a heated steering wheel, keyless entry, lumbar support, heated front seats, ambient lighting and a heads up display.
The EPA fuel consumption estimates for this 4 series are an overall rating of 27 miles per gallon – with 34 mpg on the highway and 24 in city driving. The EPA estimates that the 4 series coupe will cost about $1,800 per year to run as it uses about 3.7 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. This newly redesigned vehicle has not been government crash tested yet. The BMW warranty remains one of the best in the business. BMW gives its clients a four-year, 50,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty that includes four years of roadside assistance and 3 years, 36,000 miles of free scheduled maintenance. So if you are in the market for a compact sports coupe, putting this 4 series BMW on your short list of vehicles to consider would be a good idea. Peter Perrotta’s On The Road column appears regularly. He may be reached at peter@capitalmotorcars.com

Monmouth officials select company to operate landfill By MARK ROSMAN Managing Editor
M
onmouth County officials have unanimously authorized the award and execution of a landfill facility service agreement with Waste Management of New Jersey Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, the corporation will operate the Monmouth County Reclamation Center in Tinton Falls. Garbage from the county’s municipalities is transported to the facility. The action took place in December and officials said the county is not selling the landfill property or the infrastructure at the reclamation center, but is hiring a corporation to operate the sprawling facility. Officials said the decision to have the
county step away from operating the landfill was made because the deficit associated with the facility was getting larger, through no fault of the county employees who work at the reclamation center. Officials said representatives of the county’s human services department would meet with the employees who will be displaced by the change in the landfill’s operator and discuss their employment options. Freeholder Thomas A. Arnone said, “At the present time, we are holding county positions that are currently open for people coming from the landfill. That might not be the case if we wait three to five years if we kick the can down the road. “We are very confident every employee at the landfill is going to have a bona fide
offer (of employment). People who can retire will be given that opportunity and may actually go to work for Waste Management. We will also have certain staff on site,” Arnone said. County officials said the decision to engage a corporation to operate the landfill will yield millions of dollars in savings. According to a resolution, county officials were authorized to solicit a Request for Qualifications and a Request for Proposals to seek qualified companies to operate and maintain the landfill. In February, the county received qualifications from Waste Management of New Jersey Inc. and Urbaser Inc., both of which were deemed qualified by the county. In June, a Request for Proposals was issued by the county to Waste Management
of New Jersey Inc. and Urbaser Inc. In July, the county received a proposal from Waste Management of New Jersey Inc., which is a Delaware corporation that is authorized to do business in New Jersey. The county did not receive a proposal from Urbaser Inc. Negotiations were conducted between representatives of the county and Waste Management of New Jersey Inc. and an agreement was reached, according to the resolution. The awarding and execution of the agreement is subject to the consent and approval of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection pursuant to the terms of the requirements contained in the county’s permits for the landfill.
Allentown mayor names members of traffic committee By MARK ROSMAN Managing Editor
ALLENTOWN – During the final meeting of the mayor and Borough Council in 2020, Mayor Thomas Fritts reiterated a promise he had made to residents at various times during the year. Once again, Fritts said 2021 will be “the year of traffic” in Allentown as municipal officials continue to pursue solutions to a problem that has vexed residents for years – the steady flow of truck traffic on the borough’s streets all day, every day. During the Dec. 15 meeting that was held in a virtual manner during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Fritts announced that the new year would see the formation of an internal ad hoc traffic and parking committee. Fritts said first-term Councilwoman Erica Torsiello, 2021 council President John A. Elder III and he would serve on the panel. “We are pushing forward” on these issues, the mayor said. “Judge us at the end
of 2021. We are going to do everything we can to resolve our traffic and parking issues.” Several years ago, municipal officials adopted an ordinance that bans trucks from certain streets in the borough. In 2020, officials acknowledged that the ordinance cannot be enforced until an engineering study has been completed and the New Jersey Department of Transportation (DOT) signs off on the ordinance. “Our engineer has performed the study and we are awaiting approval from the DOT. We are hopeful of receiving DOT approval,” Fritts said during the year’s final meeting. “We are also working to get our speed zone enforcement (ordinance) working.” Fritts said Thomas A. Arnone, who serves on the Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners (formerly the Board of Freeholders) has been invited to visit Allentown to see the traffic issues firsthand. County officials have previously said some of the traffic issues are related to
ongoing road construction projects near Allentown, but resident Patricia Brown, speaking during the public comment portion of the meeting, said the truck issues “are not only related to the current road construction in the vicinity of Allentown. These problems have been going on for years.” Brown said Allentown officials and residents were told in the past that two bypasses would be constructed in an attempt
to alleviate the borough’s traffic issues. “We got one bypass built, but we are hanging on the (construction) of the second bypass,” she said. Tim Larsen asked Fritts how residents can provide input on Allentown’s traffic issues. Fritts told Larsen that residents may email him, Borough Council members or the municipal clerk with any ideas or thoughts they may have related to traffic.

NEWS BRIEFS Gov. Phil Murphy has signed Executive Order No. 211, postponing the February 2021 fire district elections, the March 2021 special school elections, and all other special elections for filling vacancies to April 20, 2021. “We will continue to hold elections to ensure that every citizen is able to have their voice heard in a safe matter during this unprecedented time,” Murphy was quoted as saying in a Dec. 21 press release. “Today’s executive order will allow our local election officials to conserve time and resources, while also providing sufficient time to properly prepare for the upcoming elections,” he said. A decision on how these elections will be held, whether all vote-by-mail, in-person, or through a hybrid of vote-by-mail and in-person, will be determined in the upcoming months, according to the press release.
