Riviello concludes service on Millstone Township school board

By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer

MILLSTONE – Melissa Riviello has been recognized for her service on the Millstone Township K-8 School District Board of Education as she prepares to depart the panel.

The board’s Dec. 14 meeting, which was held virtually during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, marked Riviello’s final meeting on the dais.

Riviello joined the board in 2013. She served as vice president from 2017-19 and

as president during 2020. Riviello did not seek re-election this year and has concluded her current term.

“In the past seven years, you (Riviello) have tirelessly dedicated your time and energy to this district and to helping this community grow,” Superintendent of Schools Christopher Huss said.

“You have not only been a devoted member of the board, you have served on numerous committees, including the fullday kindergarten exploration committee, the math committee, the mindfulness committee, the policy committee … and you Editorial: 732-358-5200 Fax: 732-385-8868 Email: news@njexaminer.com Sports Email:

served as vice president and president during the most difficult of times,” the superintendent said.

“There is no fitting way to thank those who volunteer their time to serve others, other than letting them know their work has been valued and appreciated. And so, I thank you for all you have given for the past seven years for nothing in return, other than the reward of knowing you were helping children and your community,” Huss said to Riviello.

“It has been my privilege to serve this community,” Riviello said. “Although I have been a part of many significant educational advances that haven taken place in Millstone itself, it is the people I call friends and have respect for who stand out the most.

“Some of the endeavors that really stand out are student choice. Dr. Huss was part of the initiation of middle school electives and making students have a bigger voice and a bigger choice. I’m proud of those electives,” Riviello said.

“The other thing I’m proud of is the hiring and promoting of quality staff. I think

in those seven years, we have hired such quality people and did our best to recognize those talented individuals, trying to help them along with their career and keeping them in-district as long as we could because they were valuable to us.

“I’m also very proud of working with Upper Freehold (Regional School District) to align our programs and, over the past seven years, seeing real progress made on that front. It’s wonderful to see.

“I’m proud to be part of Millstone, proud to be part of Upper Freehold Regional (where Millstone residents attend Allentown High School) as well, and I see good things coming for the future that are going to make it better. It helps for us to be one district together as much as we can.

“Lastly, our district now provides (social-emotional learning) in pre-kindergarten through grade eight. That makes me so very proud. Again, I would just like to say thank you for everything. It’s been wonderful,” Riviello said.

School board members in New Jersey serve without compensation.

Using science to bring back iconic American chestnut trees

B

y the time the famous lyrics, “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose …” were penned in 1945, most of the magnificent American chestnut forests in the eastern United States were gone, the victims of a blight that would eventually kill some four billion trees.

In today’s terms, it would be a pandemic … one far more deadly to American chestnuts than COVID-19 to humans.

More than a century after the majority of American chestnut trees were wiped out, those who love the iconic species are hoping modern science and technology – including genetic engineering and biological controls – will bring them back.

“We are talking decades and centuries to restore a species,” said Sara Fitzsimmons, director of restoration for the American Chestnut Foundation, a North Carolina-based nonprofit organization working on a chestnut comeback.

“It’s going to be a long slog and we are going to need a lot of people planting trees,” she said.

For thousands of years, the American chestnut (Castanea dentata) dominated Eastern forests – including those in New Jersey – growing upward of 100 feet tall, with trunks as wide as 10 feet in diameter.

Each fall the chestnut trees’ sweet nuts reliably blanketed forest floors, providing a bountiful harvest for wildlife and people.

The straight-grained, rot-resistant tree trunks were used to make timber for everything from houses to railroad ties. En-

tire economies and ecosystems centered Four tree generations into the program, around American chestnuts. the traditional breeding program has proThe beginning of the end came in the duced a genetically diverse population of late 1800s when Asian chestnut trees car- hybrids with improved blight tolerance … rying a microscopic fungus were imported although they are still trying for improveto nurseries in the United States.

Fitzsimmons said research is being done

at several places in Monmouth County, including Hartshorne Woods Park, where a virus is attacking the fungus on American chestnut trees planted after the great blight.

“None of these three B’s can restore a species in isolation,” noted Fitzsimmons.

But used together, they may be able to bring back the American chestnut.

During a time when many American forests are under stress from invasive insects, invasive non-native plants, diseases, over-abundant deer and climate change, the success of the 3BUR program has implications beyond American chestnut trees.

“It’s not just about the chestnut right now,” said Fitzsimmons. “We are setting a template for the restoration of other native species. Yes, there is reason to restore the American chestnut on its own, but there are a lot of other species that will need restoration.”

To learn more about American chestnut restoration efforts, visit the American Chestnut Foundation website at https://acf. org/ One especially helpful resource is a series of online video conferences known as “Chestnut Chats,” that took place this past year.

Monmouth County Planning Board presents 2020 merit awards On behalf of the Board of Freeholders, the Monmouth County Planning Board presented three organizations with 2020 merit awards during a virtual meeting held on Dec. 21.

“The Monmouth County Board of Freeholders and the Planning Board are pleased to award three outstanding honorees who have made significant contributions to planning in Monmouth County,” said Freeholder Lillian G. Burry, the county governing body’s liaison to the Planning Board.

“Through partnerships, redevelopment, education, public outreach, resiliency, stakeholder cooperation and coordination, the Planning Board has recognized those who are working tirelessly to keep Mon-

mouth County the place you want to be,” Burry was quoted as saying in a press release from the county.

The 2020 merit awards were presented to the following: • The Anderson Building, Red Bank, in recognition of Adaptive Reuse or Redevelopment. The project revitalized the abandoned historic Anderson Moving and Storage warehouse on Monmouth Street across from the Red Bank train station.

The building has been redeveloped into a functional and beneficial reuse for office and retail purposes.

• Monmouth County 4-H, Freehold, in recognition of Education and Public Outreach. Monmouth County 4-H has contin-

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA

2021 Chevrolet Tahoe 4wd Premiere

A

few weeks ago, I reviewed the 2021 Toyota Tundra – a vehicle that gets a gas guzzling 14 miles per gallon.

Charles Skinner, one of my readers, took exception to the fact that I reviewed a “gas guzzler.”

Skinner wrote in his comments to the Princeton Packet: “He does not even hint that operating this gas guzzler – instead of a hybrid or electric vehicle – will accelerate climate change with egregious indirect costs that will be Peter Perrotta borne by human society and the natural world.

“Why does Mr. Perrotta not mention the exacerbated forest fires, drought, melting ice caps, rising sea levels and extreme weather that are overwhelming points against buying and operating this vehicle?”

These are all points well taken, Mr. Skinner.

However, my On The Road column is not meant to be a political or environmental commentary or statement on how automobiles affect climate change.

Instead, it is more a reflection of what is being offered on the current auto market and to give the consumer some type of independent judgement on what to expect from the cars or trucks I review, if they so happen to be considering purchasing or leasing that particular model.

That being said, if you go back over the past year you will also see that I have reviewed numerous hybrid, electric hybrid and purely electric vehicles.

I used this as a preamble to this week’s column because I will be reviewing another vehicle which may be perceived as a “gas guzzler” type, the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe 4WD Premiere.

While not as fuel thirsty as the Tundra, the Tahoe I recently drove for one week gets a non-eco-friendly 18 miles per gallon overall – 20 mpg in city driving and 16 mpg around town.

The EPA estimates that it will cost – on average – about $2,250 per year to run the Tahoe, as it uses about 5.6 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven.

Again, I reiterate, by reviewing this

2021 Chevrolet Tahoe 4wd Premiere

large, 3 row SUV, I am not advocating that it is good for the environment to own one or lease one.

However, one can not deny that large SUVs and pickup trucks are popular in the United States.

According to Chevrolet, the Tahoe is the best-selling full-sized SUV in the United States – a title Chevy claims it has held for the past 19 years.

I wouldn’t be doing my job justice if I ignored this segment of the automotive market and only reviewed vehicles that were considered eco-friendly or safe.

The Tahoe I drove for one week was powered by a 5.3 liter, ecotec3 V8 engine that produces about 355 horsepower at 383 pound feet of torque.

Chevrolet will be making that Tahoe available with a more fuel efficient 3.0 liter I-6 diesel engine that puts out 277 horsepower and gets up to 28 miles per gallon on the highway.

The Premiere edition Tahoe I drove has a base price of $65,600. My tester had a bottom line sticker price of $71,380 as it added $4,485 for a premium package and

$1,295 for destination and delivery.

Some of the items the premium package features include: power panoramic sunroof, adaptive cruise control, enhanced emergency braking, multi color heads up display, advanced trailering system and an enhanced cooling radiator.

The 2021 Tahoe features a newly redesigned exterior and interior, more cargo room behind the third row of seats, an independent rear suspension, a 10.2-inch color touch screen, and up to nine available camera views.

I like the aggressive new look on the redesigned Tahoe – both inside and out.

There is plenty of room inside; this new Tahoe has a massive 122.9 cubic feet of cargo space with both the second and third row folded down. It also is a workhorse, featuring 8,400 pounds of trailering capability.

While it took me a bit to get used to the overall bigness of this Tahoe – while driving it – once I did get used to it, I found it to be easy to handle, and quite comfortable.

The new independent rear suspension is a winner in my book.

Car and Driver gives the new Tahoe high marks for the cabin being “impressively quiet.” They add that the third row is “actually comfortable” and marveled at its ability to tow up to 8,400 pounds.

On the other hand, Car and Driver called the new front end design “divisive,” said it featured some “questionable interior ergonomics” and said its top models cost too much.

But, in the end, the editors at Car and Driver gave the Tahoe a positive rating, saying, “The new Tahoe is more spacious and sophisticated then before, which resolidifies its spot atop the large SUV class.”

I would have to agree. I think that if you are considering going out to purchase or lease a large, three-row SUV, then one would be remiss if you didn’t include the Tahoe on your short list of SUVs to consider.
