Allentown High School’s Kayla Denney (5) plays the ball as a Notre Dame High School defender moves in on the play during the Redbirds’ 3-0 victory over the Irish on Oct. 28 in Allentown. Denney scored a goal and added an assist in the match. For more, see Sports.
unicipal officials in Millstone Township are supporting a nonprofit corporation’s application seeking state funding for a residential development that will provide 10 affordable, age-restricted housing units in the community. On Oct. 21, Township Committee members passed a resolution in support of a trust fund application from the Affordable Housing Alliance (AHA), Neptune. The AHA is a nonprofit corporation that works with municipalities in several New Jersey counties to assist with affordable housing compliance. Affordable housing is defined as housing that is sold or rented at below market rates to individuals and families whose income meets certain guidelines. Millstone Township, like other municipalities in the state, is mandated to provide affordable housing within its borders. AHA has submitted the application to the state Department of Community Affairs, New Jersey Affordable Housing Trust Fund Program, for the development of Allen House II at 471 Stagecoach Road, Millstone Township. Municipal officials have said Allen House II will consist of two one-story buildings. There will be 10 one-bedroom apartments and the units will be for individuals age 62 and over. Five apartments will be designated for low-income tenants and five apartments will be designated for moderateincome tenants. No more than two people may live in an apartment. As stated in the committee’s resolution, township officials are in support of AHA receiving state funding because

YOUR TURN
COVID’s impact: The ‘burbs’ are back, retail is changing
N
ot long ago, experts who track New Jersey’s land use and development trends were putting the nail in the coffin of suburban sprawl. As recently as this past winter, indicators showed that millennials – the generation that is taking over the workforce, and marrying and having children – did not want suburban life. Instead, they wanted to live and work in more walkable, densely populated urban environments like Brooklyn, Hoboken and Jersey City. Along came COVID-19, the lockdown and the shift to working, shopping and schooling from home. Suddenly the suburbs, with single-family houses and big yards, became the rage and the real estate market heated up. “The bottom line is that the ‘burbs’ are back,” says Jim Hughes, the former dean of Rutgers University’s Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy and a nationally recognized expert on demographics, housing and regional economics. Jim recently sat down with the New Jersey Conservation Foundation via video conference to discuss changes to New Jersey’s landscape since the COVID-19 pandemic started, and what the future might bring. As he points out, no one could have predicted the changes roiling the world in 2020. The new year kicked off what seemed to be the next “Roaring Twenties,” with a strong U.S. economy and record employment. With the March lockdown, schools switched to remote learning, most retail businesses shut down and one in five New Jersey jobs disappeared. For those lucky enough to have a job, nearly all but essential workers worked from home. The pandemic was an “unforeseen assassin,” Jim said, wiping out 10 years’ worth of job growth. “We were saving lives by sacrificing

“New York is a great place to live, unless you have two kids and are living in a shoebox,” Jim noted. The pandemic accelerated the migration, as homes also became places for work, school, fitness and entertainment. Whether the new popularity of suburbia is a long-term trend remains to be seen, said Jim. • New Jersey exodus – It also remains to be seen how the pandemic will affect the out-migration of New Jersey residents to other places. From 2010 to 2018, about 442,000 residents moved out of New Jersey, or 147 people a day. “That’s a lot of housing that is not needed,” Jim commented. The out-migration has been somewhat offset by new residents from international immigration. The only thing certain is more uncertainty as New Jersey and the world work to eliminate COVID-19. Finally, the state has not come close to digesting this long-lasting, pandemic-driven economic and demographic change. It is possible that suburban residential development pressures will intensify, raising the specter of sprawl, a word that had been fading from use. New Jersey may have to confront it again, hopefully in a much smarter fashion than in the post-war decades. Understanding these trends should help New Jersey reshape its future, rebuild more efficiently and get comfortable with a “new normal.” For more information and to read Hughes’ recent economic reports, visit https://bloustein.rutgers.edu/tag/james-whughes/

Allentown council meetings will remain remote through Dec. By MARK ROSMAN Managing Editor
ALLENTOWN – Meetings of the Allentown mayor and Borough Council will continue to be conducted in a remote manner at least through December. Councilman John A. Elder III, in a report to the mayor and council on Oct. 27, said that because the coronavirus pandemic is continuing in New Jersey, the borough’s governing body will continue to present its meetings to the public online “out of an
abundance of caution.” “In December, consideration will be given as to how we would like to proceed in 2021,” Elder said. When the pandemic overtook New Jersey in March, the council began broadcasting its meetings on Facebook Live. The council has since moved its broadcasts to Zoom. Members of the public may join the Zoom meeting and view the borough’s elected officials, or they may call in and
listen to the meeting without the benefit of a video feed. Mayor Thomas Fritts said many residents with whom he has spoken support the remote meetings. Holding the meetings in this manner reduces the number of people coming to Borough Hall, he said. “We have had a lot of internal (coronavirus) scares,” Fritts said. “Holding remote meetings has allowed us to keep people safe.” Elder said even when “normal” meet-

Allentown topples Notre Dame, 3-0, in Senior Day match By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer
A
llentown High School girls soccer coach Kim Maurer and her players went against the norm most schools followed during 2020 and waited to hold the team’s annual Senior Day celebration until their final home match of the regular season. Because of COVID-19, many teams held Senior Day earlier in the campaign, but the Redbirds were hopeful they would still be playing in late October. Maurer and the Redbirds got their wish and Senior Day 2020 was held on Oct. 28 when Allentown hosted Notre Dame High School of Lawrenceville in a top-tier Colonial Valley Conference showdown. Following a scoreless first half, Allentown came out rolling on all cylinders in the second half and earned a 3-0 victory to improve to 5-2-1. “We are very grateful we are here playing at the end of October and that we were able to honor the seniors like we normally would,” Maurer said. “Every girl is playing like it’s her last game because we don’t know what tomorrow will bring and the players are doing a fantastic job,” the coach said. On their special day, the seniors led the way in the second half. Senior goalkeeper Grace Welsh made a key save to begin the second half as she reached up with her right hand to knock away a shot by Notre Dame’s Cami Beetel. Welsh’s save proved to be a momentum builder for Allentown as it led to senior Kayla Denney knocking home her teamhigh seventh goal of the season moments later for a 1-0 lead. Welsh finished with 10 saves and earned her first shutout of the season. She was pleased with how her teammates performed to score a “huge win.” “It felt amazing to win this game. I couldn’t ask for anything more,” she said. Denney helped to extend the lead to 2-0 with just over 10 minutes gone in the second half. The senior sent a cross into the box where sophomore Fallon Mazza was able to get her head on the ball and direct it into the net for her second goal of the season. It was the second assist of the season for Denney, who said it felt great to defeat Notre Dame on Senior Day. “Coming off our loss against Hopewell Valley, we needed to win this game and make a statement. Once we got the first

goal we knew we were going to get our shots off and that it came down to us putting the ball in the back of the net. We couldn’t have worked any harder and I am so proud of all the girls,” she said. Olivia Denney, Kayla’s sister, is second on the team with six goals. Junior Ari Bruno scored her third goal of the season to cap Allentown’s victory with five minutes to play. Freshmen Lindsay Hines and Bella Conti have each scored two goals and recorded an assist this season, while junior Christina Golden dished out her third assist in the victory over Notre Dame. Coming off a tough 2-1 loss against Hopewell Valley on Oct. 24, Maurer said she believes the Redbirds’ victory over Notre Dame will be a confidence booster for her players and shows they are right
there as one of the best teams in the conference. Maurer said she has been pleased with the way the players have improved in each game and hopes that continues as Allentown prepares for the state sectional tournament. “This (win) gives us more confidence knowing we are up there at the top of the CVC. The girls played great. We are not a finished product yet. “We are still working hard every day to get to that finished product, but we are getting better in every game and being healthy helps, too,” Maurer said. With uncertainty as to whether there would even be a 2020 soccer season in the face of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Maurer and her players stayed together and believed they would have the chance
to play together this fall. The Redbirds have gotten that opportunity and as Maurer said, the players are grateful for every chance they have to play. Basking in the glow of her outstanding performance that helped her team win on Senior Day, Denney said she will always remember being able to share the moment with her teammates, whom she calls her best friends. “To have a season and to be doing so well and be coming off a win like this is a great experience. “We are super close as friends off the field and I think that is showing on the field. It would mean the world to us to have a great season. I don’t think there is anything stopping us from getting there,” she said.

This ‘Borat’ Is Not Very Nice Borat Subsequent Moviefilm — On Amazon Prime Now By Paul Hall
I
t’s been 14 years since Borat (Sacha Baron Cohen) stormed the shores of the United States from his Kazakhstan home. He came to report on America, but got sidetracked. Now, after years spent in a labor camp for the disgrace he caused his homeland, Borat has been released and sent back to the United States to deliver a gift to the U.S. government in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. Yep, that’s the full title, and it has eaten up most of the words I’m allotted to write about the ďŹ lm for space reasons. Wait, luckily, I have been allotted room for a couple more words, so as Borat might say, “Very nice.â€?
This time, Borat’s journey sends him to Texas with the goal of delivering a gift to Mike Pence — Vice President Mike Pence. The gift was a famous Kazakhstan monkey that, unfortunately, failed to complete the trip to the United States. The journey was, however, made by Borat’s daughter, Tutar (Maria Bakalova), and together the father-daughter pair will deliver a different gift — one that Borat expects will be acceptable to all involved. Full disclosure, I thought the 2006 Borat was quite funny and laughed out loud often, even if I felt like I needed a shower immediately after my screening. After the success of the ďŹ rst ďŹ lm, it was natural that a sequel would come to pass, but the now-recognizable Borat can no longer catch as many people by surprise. The opening sequences of the new ďŹ lm show just how noticeable the character is and demonstrate the need for the introduction of Tutar to carry the bulk of the ďŹ lm (as well as for new disguises for Borat).

BORAT SUBSEQUENT MOVIEFILM COURTESY OF AMAZON STUDIOS
Bakalova is the good news in the ďŹ lm; she is fresh and portrays the naĂŻve innocence of her 15-year-old character. She steals most of the scenes she is a part of, regardless of the setting. Unfortunately for me, she is one of the few bright spots in a ďŹ lm that just doesn’t compare to the original. While the ďŹ rst third or so of the ďŹ lm has some funny, irreverent and raw moments, it loses its way with nonstop attempts to attack one side of the political spectrum at every turn. But it is not just the political bent of the ďŹ lm that felt like it didn’t work. When the original ďŹ lm was released, we were in a different world, and much of what may have been funny then has changed over the years and just become uncomfortable.
Liberals will love the ďŹ lm, conservatives will hate the ďŹ lm and both of those responses will come from people who haven’t seen it. We all like a good meme, and this movie has plenty, but as far as originality and fun, this is not the Borat whose company we enjoyed years ago. Instead of belly laughs, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm (the shortened version of the title), elicits more cringing and only a few chuckles along its journey.

n 1953, the engineers and designers at Chevrolet introduced to the world the first generation Corvette – a two seat convertible sports car that was supposed to “wow” the American consumer. Chevrolet produced 300 of this new model, which, at that time sold for a whopping $3,498. Reviews of the new American sports car were mixed and sales fell far short of expectations. The Corvette program was nearly canceled. Well, a funny Peter Perrotta thing happened on the way to becoming, arguably, the greatest American iconic automobile in history. The designers and engineers at Chevrolet persisted and kept tinkering with what they knew would eventually catch on to be a popular sports car. They were right! Now, a full 67 years later, Chevrolet is still “wowing” the world with its Corvette Stingray. Not satisfied with resting on its laurels, for what has been a great American success story, Chevrolet has stood the American motoring public literally on its head with the eighth generation Corvette Stingray – the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible. What is different about this all-new, totally redesigned – from the ground up – Corvette? Well, quite frankly, folks, everything. I recently spent a full week behind the wheel of this new Corvette – a stunning Rapid Blue with a Sky Cool Gray interior and a hard-top convertible that goes down with a simple push of a button. First off, this new Corvette doesn’t look anything like your grandfather’s Corvette. It’s totally redesigned look – very aggressive, sporty and sculpted – lends itself more to that of the Italian Lamborghini than the Vette we have been used to seeing (see photo). If public reaction and head turning ability could be rated, I would have to give this new Corvette a solid 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. I must honestly say, that in all my years of road testing cars for review, I have never seen a car turn as many heads as this one. Strangers would take pictures of it in parking lots. Fellow motorists would snap cell

phone shots of it as you passed them by. And, it was hard to go to the local Starbucks or supermarket without someone stopping me and wanting to talk about it. Just a simply amazing reaction from the general motoring public. But, it’s not just the exterior design that’s groundbreaking with this new Corvette, there is much more packed inside. The most obvious groundbreaking new design with this 2020 Corvette, is that it is Chevrolet’s first ever production mid-engine Corvette. For 67 years prior, all Corvettes were produced as front engine, rear wheel drive roadsters. Not this one. “Corvette has always represented the pinnacle of innovation and boundary pushing at GM,” says GM president, Mark Reuss. “The traditional front-engine vehicle reached its limits of performance, necessitating the new layout. In terms of comfort and fun, it still looks and feels like a Corvette, but drives better than any vehicle in Corvette history,” he adds. I would have to agree. Most front engine, rear wheel drive roadsters I have driven, are no fun to drive in the rain or snow. Most of the time, you end up fishtailing all over the place. Not a very secure feeling. Not with this new mid-engine Corvette. The second day I had this tester, I ven-
tured to take it out in a driving rain storm on Route 295. The mid-engine design worked extremely well. I selected the “weather” mode on the driving style selector and securely went 65 to 75 miles per hour in the rain without ever feeling unsafe. The mid-engine design affords this sportster a very equal weight distribution. There are several versions of the new Corvette, model wise. The one I drove was the LT1 convertible that carries a base sticker price of $66,400. With a few options added and a $1,095 destination and delivery charge, my tester carried a bottom line sticker price of $70,880. The added options on my tester included: $1,295 for carbon flash painted nacelles and body color convertible top; $1,195 for the performance exhaust; $500 for the Rapid Blue exterior paint job and $395 for the blue seat belts. The editors at Car and Driver noted as high points of the new Vette: “Supercar performance at an amazing price, comfortable on the road and incredible on the track, much improved interior quality.” Powering this new Corvette is the standard 6.2 liter, V-8 engine that puts out an impressive 490 horsepower and 470 pound feet of torque. This car is plenty fast, folks. If you put it in the “track” mode it is incredibly fast.
In fact, the local police loved just tailing me just to see if I was going to misbehave in this beast. Chevrolet officials claim that if you get the new Corvette equipped with the Z51 performance package, it then becomes the fastest Corvette in history – able to get from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds. My overall driving impression after one week behind the wheel of this new Vette, is quite simply, “Wow!” – a totally exhilarating experience to drive one of these automotive wonders. If you are itching to buy or lease one of these new Corvettes, it may not be as easy as you think. In some areas, there is as much as a one-year waiting list. In fact, some dealers are reported to be charging a market adjusted $10,000 to $20,000 over sticker premium on the car. The EPA fuel consumption ratings on this Corvette give it an average of 19 miles per gallon – with 27 mpg on the highway and 15 in city driving. The EPA estimates that the annual average fuel cost for driving this Corvette would be $5,250 as it uses about 5.3 gallons of fuel per every 100 miles driven.

Gov. says latest order will protect workforce during pandemic
G
ov. Phil Murphy has signed Executive Order No. 192 which he said will provide mandatory health and safety standards to protect all of New Jersey’s workers at work during the ongoing 2020 coronavirus pandemic. Murphy signed the order on Oct. 28, according to a press release from his office. A representative of the New Jersey Business and Industry Association took issue with certain aspects of the order shortly after Murphy’s action was announced. “Since the start of the pandemic, New Jersey workers across all sectors have risen to the challenges imposed by COVID-19,” Murphy was quoted as saying in the press release. “Yet, the federal government has failed to provide all workers the proper standards and protections they deserve. Today’s executive order closes that gap to help ensure the health and safety of our workforce during this unprecedented time,” the governor said. “With today’s action, New Jersey becomes the only state to leverage its public
sector-only jurisdiction to protect workers in the private sector from COVID-19. “We now have the essential tools and resources we need to ensure businesses are operating safely, and our economy is moving forward,” Labor Commissioner Robert Asaro-Angelo said. “By protecting New Jerseyans in the workplace, we are lessening the health risks to families and communities. As more people return to work, the high standards we have set today will be critical in maintaining our public health,” Asaro-Angelo said. Executive Order No. 192 mandates that as of 6 a.m. Nov. 5, all employers, at minimum, must require individuals at a worksite to maintain at least 6 feet of distance from others to the maximum extent possible and require employees and visitors to wear masks when entering the worksite, subject to certain limited exceptions, according to the press release. Other protocols require employers to: • Provide approved sanitization materials to employees and visitors at no cost to

New Jersey Business and Industry Association President and CEO Michele Siekerka responded to Executive Order No. 192 by saying, “While we have always shared Gov. Murphy’s priority to establish workplaces that follow federal safety guidelines, today’s directive again makes New Jersey an outlier in terms of mandates – without any balance whatsoever for the concerns of employers. “Our policymakers must strike a better
balance toward trying to help our employers by prioritizing legislation for liability protections supporting those businesses that are doing the right thing already – in addition to bringing them more sorely needed resources. “Sadly, we heard no such balance from Gov. Murphy today. We only heard about applying more financial burdens on the same job creators who simultaneously have many of the greatest capacity restrictions in the nation,” she said. “Further, most businesses already have protective safeguards in place and are critically concerned about safeguarding their workforce and their workplaces. “Mechanisms already exist to call out bad actors and hold them accountable. There is no need to now mandate additional costs on the good actors through unnecessary policy. “We once again urge Gov. Murphy and our policymakers to put a pause on any further mandates, recognizing that New Jersey’s business climate was already consistently ranked among the worst in the nation pre-COVID because of the excessive cost of doing business. Further mandates only exacerbate that,” Siekerka said.

Ordinance will set fees relating to EMS operation By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer
MILLSTONE – OfďŹ cials in Millstone Township are establishing the fees the municipality will be charged by the Millstone Township Fire District as part of a shared services agreement that implemented a municipally funded emergency medical services (EMS) operation. On Oct. 21, Township Committee members introduced an ordinance that will, if adopted, create a new section in Millstone Township’s ďŹ re district ordinance. The new section will authorize the ďŹ re district’s fees for the municipally funded EMS operation that was established earlier this year. According to the proposed ordinance, the fees are $1,500 for an extrication; $900 for load fees; $875 for pronouncement fees; $300 for extra attendants; $150 for refusal of medical assistance; $150 for epinephrine; $150 for naloxone; $95 for continuous positive airway pressure devices; $65 for oxygen; $45 for cervical collars; and $18 per mile for mileage. A public hearing on the ordinance is scheduled for Nov. 4. Committee members may adopt the ordinance that evening. The introduction of the ordinance fol-
lows the establishment of a shared services agreement between the township and the Millstone Township Board of Fire Commissioners for the municipally funded EMS operation. The ďŹ re commissioners, who are elected by members of the public, are in charge of the ďŹ re district, which operates the Millstone Township Fire Company. In June, municipal ofďŹ cials revealed their plan for an EMS operation that would be funded by the municipality. They said $260,000 had been allocated for the service in the 2020 budget. Emergency medical services were previously provided in the township by a volunteer ďŹ rst aid squad and later by an outside provider. Municipal ofďŹ cials said they needed a plan to provide Millstone Township’s 10,400 residents with timely and affordable emergency medical services. They said the advantages of the agreement with the Board of Fire Commissioners will be direct management of the operation; the ability to better control and forecast costs; timeliness and consistency in service; stability; increased community involvement; and controlling costs for taxpayers.
Officials announce ‘The Show Must Go On in Monmouth’ Monmouth County ofďŹ cials have announced the start of “The Show Must Go On in Monmouth,â€? a new initiative that has been created to support the arts. “Throughout this (coronavirus) pandemic, the county has done everything in our power to support our small businesses, including advocating for them to the state and creating the Monmouth County CARES Economic Assistance Grant Program,â€? Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone said. “Now we want to do everything we can for our performing arts venues in Monmouth County.â€? Through “The Show Must Go On in Monmouthâ€? initiative, the operators of performing arts venues in Monmouth County are going to be able to submit for reimbursement related to expenses they have, or will incur, in order to safely open their doors again to patrons, according to a press release from the county. Some examples of expenses eligible for reimbursement include masks; plexiglass;
gloves; sanitizer; touchless ticket scanners; temperature screening devices; signs; contactless credit card machines and time clocks; air puriďŹ ers; and disinfecting foggers. “The county will be reaching out directly to every performing arts venue to coordinate their submissions,â€? Arnone said. During an Oct. 22 press conference, Arnone also gave an update about the Monmouth County CARES Economic Assistance Grant Program. “We have now approved more than 2,000 applications and dispersed more than $17 million,â€? he said. “We still have nearly $3 million available, so we are urging small business owners to submit an application. The application is relatively simple and all you need is your tax return to get started.â€? Small business owners can go to www. MonmouthCountyCares.com or call 732375-2196, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., for additional information.
