Firm proposing waste transfer site sues county By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer

One World Trade Center, also known as the Freedom Tower, as seen from Liberty State Park, Jersey City, on Sept. 22. The sprawling park is an oasis in northern New Jersey and provides visitors with views of lower Manhattan, Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Liberty State Park is the topic of a column by New Jersey Conservation Foundation Executive Director Michele S. Byers on page 3.
laiming its application to construct a solid waste transfer station in Howell has been pushed off for years, Resource Engineering has filed a legal complaint against the Monmouth County Board of Freeholders, the Monmouth County Solid Waste Advisory Council (SWAC) and the Monmouth County Department of Public Works. Resource Engineering is seeking to have its plan to establish a solid waste transfer station at 34 Randolph Road, near Route 547, Howell, included in the county’s Solid Waste Management Plan. The proposal has been at the county level for several years awaiting formal action. Previous reports indicated the proposed facility would accept 1,500 tons per day of cleanup debris and construction debris. The debris would be sorted and recyclable materials would be removed. The debris would then be transferred to other locations for final disposal. Resource Engineering filed the complaint against the county on Aug. 10. Monmouth County Attorney Michael D. Fitzgerald said outside counsel will handle the lawsuit. As of Sept. 23, the county’s legal representatives had not responded to the complaint. Howell’s Township Manager Brian Geoghegan said the township attorney would seek to intervene in the matter. “We will fight to prevent the construction of the transfer station in Howell,” Geoghegan said. According to the complaint, in 2015, Resource Engineering began the process of seeking approvals from Monmouth County to construct and operate a new solid waste transfer station in Howell. The complaint states that the “need for a new solid waste facility is indisputable; construction debris and other materials generated by the rapid expansion of residential housing in Lakewood and surrounding municipalities is currently being trucked through Ocean and Monmouth counties, which is causing pollution, stressing local and county roads, depriving Monmouth County of tax revenue and jobs.” According to the complaint, Monmouth County and Howell officials agreed that the need for the new solid waste facility is indisputable and it asserts that SWAC and Howell “both gave their blessing to the project; Howell by letter of support dated March 6, 2017, and SWAC by unanimous approval on May 18, 2017.” (Continued on page 6)

Remediation of spoiled land will fulfill a dream for Liberty State Park
L
iberty State Park in Jersey City – the state’s most popular park, with more than five million annual visitors – has been called New Jersey’s Central Park. But it has something Central Park doesn’t have: spectacular views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Manhattan skyline, New York Harbor and the Verrazzano Narrows Bridge. This state we’re in got good news recently when the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) announced it will move ahead with long-discussed plans to improve Liberty State Park by cleaning up contaminated land in its interior section and opening it to the public. The restoration will expand the park’s usable acreage by 40%, with over 7 miles of new trails. Two of the plan’s most enthusiastic supporters are Sam Pesin, son of park founder Morris Pesin and president of the Friends of Liberty State Park; and Greg Remaud, head of the New York-New Jersey Baykeeper advocacy group. As the state prepares to introduce park restoration plans at a public meeting this fall, Sam and Greg spoke with the New Jersey Conservation Foundation about the park, its history, their hopes for its future and why New Jerseyans should support the restoration. Here are some highlights: Q: Why is Liberty State Park so important to all of New Jersey? Sam: Liberty State Park is priceless and sacred public land – a very scarce urban open space in a densely populated area. The park has been shown, especially during the pandemic, to be essential for emotional health, physical health, mental health and spiritual health. It’s so crucial to the quality of life of urban people, and it certainly uplifts the spirits of all who visit. Greg: Hudson County is among the most densely populated counties in the country and there’s not a lot of green spaces, especially large green spaces. You come to Liberty State Park and there are
natural treasures, cultural treasures, historical treasures, recreational treasures. There’s something for everyone, with great iconic symbols that people from around the world enjoy.

Greg: The DEP will be holding a virtual public information meeting this fall and after that there will be a public comment period. The public can help out by attending the public information meeting and then writing in support of the project.

Deep thanks and appreciation to Sam and Greg for their long-term commitment to ensuring that Liberty State Park is truly a people’s park, and for their diligence in evaluating and responding to the multitude of proposals for park property over the years. Never doubt the power of dedicated individuals to make a huge difference. Thanks also to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for its commitment to using Natural Resource Damage funds to fulfill the vision of this public open space gem in the midst of New Jersey’s most densely populated region. As the pandemic has shown, open space and access to nature are critically important to public health and well-being. With people relying on parks more than ever for outdoor recreation and spiritual nourishment, this project will make more of Liberty State Park available for the public to enjoy. Be sure to get out this fall and enjoy the beauty of Liberty State Park. In addition to the amazing views from the waterfront, there is the Richard Sullivan Natural Area, a 36-acre salt marsh named in honor of New Jersey’s first Department of Environmental Protection commissioner.

School improvement project completed under budget By MATTHEW SOCKOL
A
Staff Writer
multi-million construction project in the Upper Freehold Regional School District is scheduled to be completed more than $1 million under budget. The project was approved by voters in Upper Freehold Township and Allentown through a $7.2 million referendum in 2018. The work consisted of three components: • The installation of new roofs at the
Newell Elementary School and Allentown High School, which was estimated at $5.86 million; • Auditorium renovations at Allentown High School, which were estimated at $1.12 million; • The installation of an emergency generator at the Newell Elementary School, which was estimated at $203,125.

cation President Patrick Nolan provided an update on the referendum work and reported it would be completed under budget by $1.6 million. Following the meeting, Nolan explained that the school district is required to refund taxpayers by crediting taxes due against the principal portion of the bonds that were issued for the project. He said this will take place over a six-year period until the tax credits are exhausted for taxpayers. Nolan said that during the ďŹ rst ďŹ ve years after the referendum – from the 2020-21 school year through the 2024-25 school year – the district’s total debt service (principal and interest) due on the bonds is $2.54 million. During that ďŹ ve-year period, Upper Freehold Regional will collect $116,003 from taxpayers for the debt service. “When you combine the refunded principal with the expected state aid, which was approved when we submitted the project to the state prior to the referendum, we will

Nolan said. “In other words, we will get to enjoy the beneďŹ ts of this project for the ďŹ rst ďŹ ve years while taxpayers receive a 95% discount on the total taxes due on these bonds during those years,â€? the board president said. Nolan credited the project being completed under budget to contract bids being lower than anticipated and to a decision by district administrator to hire a project manager to oversee the work. “We were fortunate to receive lower bids than we had budgeted for with the rooďŹ ng project, which was the lion’s share of the total referendum project,â€? he said. “We also spent a small amount of money on a project manager to oversee the project and advocate on our behalf, which we believe reaped beneďŹ ts for us in keeping errors down and costs contained.â€?

Firm proposing waste transfer site sues county (Continued from page 1)
The freeholders were scheduled to vote on the matter on July 27, 2017, but that did not occur. According to the complaint, on the date of the meeting, Howell Mayor Theresa Berger, who was out of the country, “sent a scathing e-mail objecting to the proposed transfer station; an inexplicable repudiation of the township’s March 6, 2017 letter, upon which SWAC and other county
officials had relied in moving forward with the project.” The complaint alleges that the county obstructed and hindered Resource Engineering’s proposal. “Instead of questioning the mayor’s about-face, taking testimony on the application and voting, the board (of freeholders) ran for cover; the meeting was canceled, and Resource Engineering’s application was improperly sent back to SWAC.
“Thus began a now more than threeyear merry-go-round of defendants’ interference, stonewalling and red tape. (Resource Engineering believes) powerful political interests in Monmouth County and beyond coordinated with (the freeholders) and SWAC to improperly interfere with, obstruct and hinder Resource Engineering’s proposal,” according to the complaint. Resource Engineering wants Monmouth County to stop “endless studies”

and claims it is entitled to recoup hundreds of thousands of dollars. “Respectfully, the court should order SWAC and (the freeholders) to stop their endless ‘studies’ of plaintiff’s proposal and approve the application. “Resource Engineering is also entitled to recoup from defendants the hundreds of thousands of dollars it spent over the past three years on experts, lawyers and other professionals trying to satisfy defendants’ demands,” the complaint states. In September 2018, additional correspondence was sent to the freeholders from Howell which indicated that a traffic study commissioned by the county should account for other anticipated development in the area of Randolph Road and Route 547. On Jan. 17, Berger attended a SWAC meeting at which an update regarding a county traffic study that has been conducted in conjunction with the proposal for the solid waste transfer station was on the agenda. Berger subsequently reported that SWAC was not prepared to share the county’s preliminary report with the public. In March, members of the Howell Township Council said they wanted to conduct their own traffic study in regard to the proposed solid waste transfer station.

Contracts authorized for park work By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer
MILLSTONE – A pair of contracts totaling $877,654 have been approved by the Township Committee for the second phase of work at the new Millstone Park. Committee members recently authorized contracts for the second phase of work at Millstone Park, a 186-acre recreation facility being developed on Red Valley Road in Millstone Township. One resolution awarded a $488,140 contract to P.M. Construction for multipurpose field improvements. A second resolution awarded a $389,514 contract to Gary Kubiak and Son Electric Inc. for baseball field lighting. For the multipurpose field improvements, in addition to the winning bid submitted by P.M. Construction, the Earle Asphalt Company bid $675,113; Shore Top Construction Corp. bid $609,995; and Precise Construction Inc. bid $597,348, according to the resolution. For the baseball field lighting, in addition to the winning bid submitted by Gary Kubiak and Son Electric, Quality Electrical Construction Co. bid $437,000; and Faigon Electrical Contractors bid $424,000, according to the resolution. The development of Millstone Park has been ongoing since 2016. Earlier this year, municipal officials declared the first phase of the project has been completed, although the park has not yet been opened. 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, officials approved the installation of security systems at five municipal properties in an amount not to exceed $115,527. Committee members authorized a contract with Net Q for the labor and installation of security systems at the municipal courthouse, at Brandywine Park, at the community center, at Millstone Park and at Wagner Farm Park. Funding will be provided by a bond ordinance that was adopted in 2019, according to a resolution. The ordinance provided an appropriation of $185,000 for technology and safety improvements in Millstone Township. Municipal officials have said the security systems are being installed in response to vandalism and misuse at local parks.

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA
2021 Kia K5 EX
I
t’s September. Fall is upon us. Time for new beginnings, right? So, we here at On The Road have an all new car to review for you this week – our first 2021 model, as well. South Korean auto maker Kia – a fast growing brand in the United States – has introduced an all new model – the 2021 Kia K5, a mid-sized rather upscale sedan that replaces its former Optima model. I recently had the pleasure of driving this vehicle Peter Perrotta for one week and came away with an overall positive impression, although there are some things I will nitpick. The K5 model I drove for the week was the EX model that carries a base sticker price of $27,990. My tester added a $3,400 premium package and $995 for destination and delivery, bringing the grand total sticker price to $32,365. Included in the premium package is: navigation with a 10.25 inch screen; Bose premium sound system; power seats; heated steering wheel; and a lot of advanced safety equipment. The overall outside look of this newly designed vehicle is a winner. This sedan has an aggressive and sporty sculpted stance that is capable of turning heads. “Gorgeous, outside and in,” is what the editors at Car and Driver boasted about the new K5. I would have to agree. Powering the new K5 is a 1.6 liter turbo charged 4 cylinder engine that is coupled with a smooth shifting 8-speed automatic transmission. This engine produces an impressive 180 horsepower and 195 pound feet of torque. The K5 drives like a more expensive sleek European luxury car, without carrying the high price tag. It’s athletic-able to complete lane changes and passing maneuvers without a hitch. It has enough power to cruise nicely at the higher speeds on the
2021 K5 EX 1.6T FWD
interstate. In fact, this mid-sized sedan sometimes is going a lot faster than the driver – namely me – realizes at times. Witness the one afternoon when I was hurrying back from lunch and got pulled over for doing 53 in a 35 mph speed zone. When I explained to the officer that I write car reviews, he let me go with just a warning. The interior of the K5 is well appointed with a lot of upscale and ergonomically friendly buttons and switches and a fairly responsive touch screen command system. However, I found the navigation system a bit troublesome. When you attempt to enter a destination address manually, it is very frustrating. There are very few addresses this navigation system seemed to be able to find easily. The best way around this glitch was for me to enter the general zip code of the destination I was headed to, rather than the exact address. Once I did that, I then was able to enter the exact address as a midway point along the route and the system was then able to find it. This is way too cumbersome and
time consuming. It probably can be corrected with a simple software upgrade. This Kia K5 is pretty miserly when it comes to drinking gas, too. It has an EPA fuel consumption rating of 31 miles per gallon overall – 27 in city driving and 37 on the highway. The EPA estimates that the K5 will cost about on average $1,300 a year for gas as it uses about 3.2 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. This 2021 K5 is too new and hasn’t been tested for the government’s 5 star safety crash test yet. The new K5 comes with a lot of impressive standard equipment, including: an 8 inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple Car play; rear view camera with dynamic guidelines; Sirius Satellite radio free for three months; leatherette seat trim; heated and ventilated front seats; and a whole lot more. As far as comfort and roominess go, the K5 passes the test. While it’s not an overly expansive mid-sized sedan it is designed well enough to get in and out of with ease even with its low stance to the ground.
The front and rear leg room is sufficient and the rear seat is fairly roomy as well. The first 2021 EX comes in front wheel drive only. A four wheel drive version is to be added later this year. Moreover, later this year, Kia will offer a significantly sportier GT version of the K5 featuring a more powerful engine, a panoramic sunroof and an added all wheel drive option. As is the case with all Kias, their standard warranty that comes with all of their models is one of the best available on the car market. The bumper to bumper limited warranty covers five years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. The powertrain warranty covers 10 years or 100,000 miles. While the mid-sized sedan market is fastly shrinking – consumers are more and more going for the crossover and SUV models – if you are in the market for a midsized sedan at a reasonable price, the K5 is one to consider.

Past, Present And Future By Paul Hall
R
acism. In itself, it’s a horrific term. Slavery by itself is a mind-numbing wrong. Combine the two in a modern-day film that feels ripped from the plantations of a Civil War-era Deep South, and you have a film whose very premise is horrific. Combine the overt racism of the past with the subtler racism of the present, and the horror of the new film Antebellum is more than just a garden variety excursion into the genre. Our story begins as Eden (Janelle Monáe) is surviving picking cotton in the fields for a ruthless master. The Confederate army has commandeered this plantation and will have their way with every person and thing at their disposal. Eden tries to motivate the rest of the slaves to keep them from going crazy in the unnatural environment in which they are residing, all while trying to engineer an escape to the North, and to safety. But the journey is filled with abuses and pain as she watches friends get beaten and lives get lost. Through it all she has kept her friends close and her enemies closer. Meanwhile, a parallel path of existence is plowing forward through the concrete
jungle. There, Veronica (also Monáe) is a successful author who uses her position to empower the Black women of today. While she is speaking at a conference, we are introduced to some of Veronica’s friends and family who are almost too good to believe. She seems to be a woman who has it all. But does she? The two worlds eventually collide as the story from the past and the story in the present shape the future of Veronica and her family and friends. Other than the deeper meaning that runs beneath the surface, just what is the connection that binds the two scenarios together? This is not a classic horror movie. The scares are subtle and lie beneath the everbubbling surface of discontent. Mental horrors that will make you think and generate conversation abound, despite a fairly weakly crafted end sequence. I found my heart pounding and racing throughout the film as I waited for the bow to be tied on this story. Although that bow is messy, the visuals and Monáe’s talent make Antebellum a worthy film to chill you at your core. Now, whether society is ready for a film like Antebellum and its underlying messages at this time — well, that’s a discussion for the rest of you.
Paul’s Grade: B Antebellum Rated R Stars: Janelle Monáe, Eric Lange, Jena Malone
