Allentown reorganizes; officials look forward to busy 2021 By MARK ROSMAN Managing Editor
M
unicipal officials in Allentown have a full agenda of projects ahead of them in 2021 and they got the new year’s business underway when they held their annual reorganization meeting on Jan. 5. The 2021 reorganization meeting marked a first for the historic borough on the far western border of Monmouth County as it was held in a virtual manner due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Only a handful of officials were present at Borough Hall; some officials participated from home, while residents had the chance to watch the proceedings via a live broadcast. The virtual meetings are expected to continue through at least the first quarter of 2021. A full meeting schedule with links and times of meetings will be posted on the borough’s website. After Mayor Thomas Fritts called the meeting to order, Municipal Clerk Laurie Roth administered the oath of office to Erica Torsiello, who began serving her first three-year term on the Borough Council and to John A. Elder III, who began serving his second term on the council. Torsiello and Elder will serve alongside fellow council members Michael Drennan, Robert Strovinsky, Dan Payson and Martha Johnson. State Sen. Vin Gopal (D-Monmouth) called in to congratulate Torsiello and Elder on their election to council terms. Gopal noted that although his legislative district does not include Allentown, he likes to stay abreast of all activities in the county. Fritts said Gopal has been accessible and responsive to Allentown officials on several issues and he thanked the senator for taking time to call in to the reorganization meeting.
In other business, Elder, who is beginning his fourth year on the council, was elected by his fellow council members to serve as council president for 2021. Elder thanked Strovinsky for serving in that role last year and for providing guidance in the areas of personnel and buildings and grounds. “Councilman Strovinsky has a wealth of knowledge in those areas,” Elder said. In his address to the community, Fritts said his first year as Allentown’s mayor “didn’t go exactly as I planned. In March 2020 the world changed when we were hit with the deadly coronavirus pandemic. With a full plate of capital improvement projects already in motion, we had no choice but to adapt and overcome challenges ahead. “We were not equipped to operate remotely, so installing new systems that allowed our employees to work from home became a top priority. The front door of Borough Hall closed to the public. “We became reliant on online platforms, email, telephone and the mail. Our staff overcame the toughest of challenges and never worked harder to meet the needs of our residents. “This governing body started working digitally to accomplish our priorities. We instituted new policies and procedures to get the job done. “Most of my days were spent on Zoom meetings with other elected officials, government agencies and healthcare organizations to find out the latest opportunities available to assist our residents,” the mayor said. “I want to extend a thank you to our volunteers serving on our boards, committees and commissions. You have all worked so hard. Although we have not been able to meet in person, your attendance has never been higher and our turnover has never been lower.
“To our business community, you have faced unprecedented heartache and financial shortfalls. We will continue to find new ways to help. We understand your livelihoods are at stake. … We have watched as businesses owners pivot because they are fighting to stay open. I encourage our residents to use all of our local businesses. They need us and we need them. “And, I would like to recognize the selfless commitment from our first responders. They have taken on the greatest of challenges in uncertain times and risen to the demands of this pandemic. Our responders continue to serve as the virus is surging in
Monmouth County. They have adapted to serve our community. We owe them a great debt of gratitude,” Fritts said. Turning his focus to the new year, the mayor said 2021 “is the year of traffic. Monmouth County has approved our speed enforcement zones. The county has given us advice on how to launch this program. Speeders watch out! Tougher fines and mandatory court appearances are coming your way. “My Mayor’s Ad Hoc Traffic and Parking Committee will be rolling out our (Continued on page 5)

Dorfman elected to serve as Millstone Township mayor By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer
MILLSTONE – Gary Dorfman will serve as the mayor of Millstone Township in 2021. Dorfman was elected mayor for a oneyear term by his fellow Township Committee members during the Jan. 6 reorganization meeting of the governing body. Under Millstone’s form of government, the mayor is not directly elected by residents. Each January, the five members of the governing body select one member to serve as mayor and one member to serve as deputy mayor for the upcoming year.
As the meeting began, new committee members Michael McLaughlin and Christopher Morris were sworn in to begin serving their first three-year terms. When regular business commenced, Committeewoman Nancy Grbelja nominated Dorfman to serve as mayor. Grbelja, Dorfman, McLaughlin, Morris and Committeeman Al Ferro voted “yes” on the nomination. All five members of the committee are Republicans. Dorfman joined the committee in 2010 and previously served as mayor in 2018. “We (on the governing body) have a very important role in our community,” he
said. “We serve our citizens as individuals and we serve them on the behalf of the town as a whole. “You will find that the toughest things we need to do are those things which sometimes are most valuable and beneficial to the whole, but some things have a challenging impact for certain individuals. “We will all work together, use our best judgement and guidance, and always be guided in doing what is best for all. “It’s always about the people we serve. It’s never about us. Millstone is a very special place. We have all chosen to live here from our own free will. It’s a quiet, rural-
suburban residential community blessed with open spaces, peace and tranquility. “These are the things we will protect. We have a legacy as a governing body, a fiscal responsibility, low municipal taxes and valuable community programs. These are the things we will continue,” Dorfman said. Grbelja was nominated to serve as deputy mayor for 2021. Grbelja voted for herself and was supported with “yes” votes from Dorfman and Morris. Ferro and McLaughlin abstained from the deputy mayor’s vote without comment. Grbelja joined the committee in 2004.
Monmouth County improves intersection at border of two towns Monmouth County Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone has announced the completion of an intersection improvement project at county Route 537 (Monmouth Road) and county Route 524 (Stagecoach Road) at the border of Freehold Township and Millstone Township. The project was completed in-house. “I am excited to announce the county has successfully completed the intersection improvement project at Monmouth
Road and Stagecoach Road, which are both county routes, located in Freehold Township and Millstone Township,” Arnone said. “The newly aligned intersection … now has improved sight distance and safety for everyone who uses the roads,” he said. The goal of the project was to enhance the safety on both county roads, where Route 524 previously formed an acute angle at the intersection of Route 537. The
project realigned Route 524, forming a 90-degree angle with Route 537 and creating a T-intersection, according to the press release. “In order to expedite the reconstruction of the intersection, the design, construction and inspection of the improvements were performed by the county’s Department of Public Works and Engineering, which saved the county nearly $350,000,” Arnone said.
“By completing this project in-house, the county avoided delays and costs associated with awarding public contracts. Conducting formal bidding and awarding contracts could have potentially delayed the start of the project until spring 2021,” he said. In total, the county maintains approximately 1,000 lane miles of roads, 924 bridges and culverts and 239 traffic signals and beacons, according to the press release.

Nature in New Jersey is quite busy during winter
W
inter may seem quiet, almost like nature is taking a break. But is this true? Many animals are hibernating, lots of birds have fled to the south and plants are dormant. But you might be surprised at all of nature’s activity in winter in this state we’re in. Every day for the next six months, we will gain a couple of additional minutes of daylight. The increasing daylight signals to the natural world that although it’s cold – and will remain so for months – spring is already on its way. You may have noticed bald eagles carrying twigs and grass. Bald eagles are New Jersey’s early birds, responding quickly to changes in daylight by starting an early mating season. In the chill of winter, eagles are among the first birds – along with great horned owls – to build nests and lay eggs. Right now, eagles in New Jersey are gathering materials to build or repair nests, many of which are used by the same pair for years. A few females have even started laying eggs. The first bald eagle chicks of 2021 will begin hatching in late February and early March. How can bald eagles nest so early, when it seems like the cold would be lethal to the eggs and young? The answer is that males and females are active parents, working cooperatively to keep eggs and babies warm at all times. While one hunts, the other sits on the nest. The incubation and nesting period for bald eagles is long, so starting early may give them an advantage. By the time chicks are ready to fly and hunt in the spring, food sources like fish, small mammals and waterfowl will be more plentiful. Great horned owls also mate early for the same reasons. On winter nights when all is still and quiet, you can often hear great horned owls hooting mating calls to each other from the tops of tall trees.

that glow in the sunlight. Why are beech and oak leaves still hanging on when most trees have long since shed their leaves? Amazingly enough, this may be an adaptation by the trees to protect tender young buds from animals that would munch them. Dried leaves on branches might look unappealing enough to browsing herbivores that they might bypass beeches and oaks in favor of trees with more accessible buds. Is this due to deer? Probably not, since deer have a short reach and beech and oak leaves can be seen on branches 15 to 20 feet high. Dr. Emile DeVito, the New Jersey Conservation Foundation’s staff biologist and naturalist, points out that only a few thousand years ago, the beech forests of North America were inhabited by giant ground sloths, long since extinct. Giant ground sloths could reach as high as elephants and were able to nip buds from high branches. Since a few thousand years is the blink of an eye in evolution, trees would not have had much time to respond to the disappearance of giant ground sloths. Enjoy nature’s unique sights and sounds this winter. Spring may seem far away, but nature’s timeless cycles are reason for hope.

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA
2021 Nissan Altima 2.5 Platinum AWD
W
hen it comes to Nissan’s Altima – their best-selling sedan – my household is no stranger. When my wife first started to drive, we purchased a pre-owned Altima (1998) that served us well. That vehicle was passed down to my 22-year-old son when he first started to drive. It logged over 150,000 miles without asking for much. After laying the ’98 to rest, we purchased a 2011 pre-owned Altima, Peter Perrotta several years ago, which we still own and love. That car still runs strong. It only has about 88,000 miles on it and has never needed much maintenance. Needless to say, my family is a big fan of the Altima. Recently, I jumped behind the wheel of a brand new Altima to see what the latest version of this popular mid-sized sedan was offering these days. The vehicle I tested for one week is the 2021 Nissan Altima 2.5 Platinum AWD sedan. The Altima got a fresh new top-tobottom and inside out redesign two years ago. That look still carries with the 2021 models. The top-of-the-line Platinum edition carries a base price of $34,100. My tester stickered at $36,745. Additional options added to my tester included: $205 for splash guards; $395 for premium paint (Pearl White); $300 for floor mats, trunk mat and a hideaway net; $400 for illuminated kick plates; $420 for rear spoiler and $925 for destination and delivery. When it comes to which model Altima to choose, there are several options. “Enhancements for the 2021 model year include revised grade level content, with the SR grade now slotted above the SV,” says a release from Nissan. “This brings the lineup order of S, SV, SR and Platinum in line with the other Nissan sedans. There is also the addition of a new SV premium package.” The Altima is offered with two different engine choices – a 2.0 liter, 4 cylinder variable compression turbo engine which generates about 248 horsepower and a stan-
2021 Nissan Altima 2.5 Platinum AWD
dard 2.5 liter, 4 cylinder (non turbo) that gets about 188 horsepower. Both engines are paired with Nissan’s continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). My tester was equipped with the 2.5 engine. I found the 2.5 to be adequate enough for around town driving. I was a bit disappointed in its performance when I tried to push it when I needed to make an aggressive passing move or needed it to accelerate for getting on the interstate. However, that being said, I tend to be more of an aggressive driver. For someone who drives more conservatively – like my wife – this engine and power is more than adequate. My overall impression of the fairly newly redesigned Altima is that it is a very competent mid-sized sedan that checks a lot of the right boxes. It has an attractive appearance, inside and out. The exterior is more up-to-date looking and sportier and more aggressive looking. The inside is plenty comfortable and roomy and offers enough attractive ergonomics to make it appealing to most. The overall ride and handling is above
average. The steering is smooth and easy. It handles and corners well and takes bumps without much jostling. The only thing I would add here is this: For me, the Altima doesn’t provide a tremendous “Wow!” factor – if that’s what you’re looking for. And, mind you, not everyone cares about a “Wow!” factor for their cars. Most people are content with a good, solid car that checks a lot of the aforementioned boxes. And, this car does do that. The folks over at Car and Driver gave the 2021 Altima high marks for having a “quiet and efficient standard powertrain, spacious and comfy cabin and available four-wheel drive.” Car and Driver knocked the Altima because they said its turbo engine was not compatible with its all-wheel drive system, had brittle ride quality and wasn’t as engaging as its top rivals (Honda and Mazda). I didn’t drive the turbo engine Altima so I can’t comment there. Car and Driver’s overall verdict hits at my “Wow!” factor comment. “The Altima has some unique options and sporty characteristics, but it doesn’t inspire like the
segment’s best,” says the editor at Car and Driver. Well, I’m not sure I totally agree with that comment. I don’t find the Honda Accord or the Mazda 6 all that inspiring either. Like the Altima, both are very competent mid-sized sedans with good track records for reliability, but their “Wow!” factor is about the same as the Altima, if you ask me. The Altima I drove for one week has an EPA gas mileage rating of 29 miles per gallon overall – 35 miles per gallon in highway driving and 29 mpg in city driving. The EPA estimates that the Altima will cost about $1,400 per year to run on fuel as it uses about 3.4 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. The Altima received impressive results in the government’s 5-star safety ratings crash test. It got 5 stars for its overall vehicle score.

Not All News Is Good, But This Film Is By Paul Hall
W
ith today’s news traveling as fast as the push of a button, it is sometimes remarkable to think that some updates used to take days, weeks or even months to find their way to the next town. Such is the case for the people of Texas in the new film News of the World, in theaters now. Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd (Tom Hanks) has served his country in three wars. Now, five years after the end of the Civil War, Captain Kidd travels from town to town reading the news of the day with emotion and style. It’s the news courtesy of a plethora of newspapers from around the United States and the world. He plays to packed houses wherever he travels as people come to hear the good, the bad and the humorous from the far reaches of the world. Along his travels he
comes across a scared young girl, Johanna (Helena Zengel). Johanna was taken in by the Kiowa people after her family was attacked years earlier. Raised as one of their own, she fears the captain at first, as Kidd is trying to find anyone along his path to turn her over to and leave her. But as the travels continue and the bond grows, he knows there is simply one place to leave her: with family. The journey is filled with outlaws and landowners who try to use Kidd as a mouthpiece to speak to the masses their various rhetoric. Kidd has his own set of morals, but he is missing his wife who has been left behind after his last military stint and does not travel with him. Alone, Kidd wants to move on and keep to his life, but Johanna is there to possibly alter that plan. Will she? The majesty of a land that was once present in our country is on full display in this Paul Greengrass film. The director
of such varied efforts as multiple Bourne films, United 93 and 22 July has found a way to tell the nuanced story of News of the World. This is a film that looks at a country divided in the post-Civil War era and the ingrown attitudes that a simple story might have the power to change. The importance of the print media in the evolving country is amazing to witness. Hanks is stoic and impressive in his turn as a man who is trying to navigate the evolving landscape. He is able to colorfully deliver the news to a crowd that sometimes does not appreciate or like him very much, drawing on his military experience and talents to get him through. The revelation of the film is Zengel. She needs to deliver emotions without
words that some would struggle with. Zengel’s growth through the film is the reason she connects with viewers. You need to form a relationship with Zengel and Hanks to truly drive home the emotional side of the journey that is fraught with peril. Although moments of the film slowed, I found myself absolutely invested in the characters and truly concerned about the outcome of the film. Far from perfect, News of the World gives most viewers what they want: a meaty Tom Hanks role set against a beautiful backdrop. News is important to us all, and when delivered by the right person, we see the value of the people behind the stories. Paul’s Grade: B News of the World Rated PG-13 Stars: Tom Hanks, Helena Zengel Director: Paul Greengrass
