Hillsborough embracing the fun of the Last Dance World Series By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer

The buzz of excitement filled TD Bank Ballpark, home of the Somerset Patriots, on Tuesday morning as baseball was back in action on the diamond with Hillsborough High School and Rutgers Prep squaring off in their first pool play game of the Last Dance World Series. Opening Day had finally arrived for the Raiders and the team couldn’t be happier to be back playing together again. From the moment Coach Eric Eden jumped into the middle of his team’s huddle before they took the field, to junior Vinny Versaci striking out the side in the seventh inning to close out the game, emotions of joy and laughter that were pent up for four months came out in Hillsborough’s 5-2 victory. “It feels good to be back out here on the field with the team,” Eden said. “They’re a very special group and a fun team to be around. They were hooting and hollering all game. We had a lot of fun.” Hillsborough took control of the contest from the jump when Ryan Hvozdovic stepped into the batter’s box to lead off the bottom of the first inning. The sound of the ball coming off the bat was heard throughout the stadium as the sophomore connected for a solo shot that just cleared the right field fence to give Hillsborough a 1-0 lead. “It was what we needed to get started and I am happy I was the guy to do it,” Hvozdovic said. “I never hit a home run at a field like this, so I was hoping it was going to go over. It felt great.” Senior Jason Wolff added to the Hillsborough lead later on in the inning. Wolff smacked a base hit to centerfield and then came all the way around to score on three wild pitches to give the Raiders a two-

run lead. The senior continued to provide more run support for his squad in the third inning. Following a roaring triple hit by teammate Luke Crawford, Wolff stepped to the plate next and smoked a two-out RBI through the right side of the infield to put Hillsborough up 3-0. Crawford racked up two hits as well in the Hillsborough victory. Wolff would later come around to score just like he did in the first inning, scoring his second run of the game on a wild pitch as he continued to take advantage of his second chance to get some closure for his senior season being cut short because of the coronavirus pandemic. “We’ve worked hard the last couple of days to get ready for this tournament and it’s really nice for all that hard work to pay off in the first game,” Wolff said. “The team and myself were pretty bummed when the season got canceled, so for us to pick up here in the tournament and put together a good game to advance feels awesome.” Senior right-hander Joey O’Donnell was solid in his start on the mound for the Raiders, striking out two batters in his three-plus innings of work to get the win. Fellow classmate Tyler Boose was great in relief, fanning three Rutgers Prep hitters. Versaci pitched two scoreless innings and racked up three strikeouts to get the save. “I’m proud of the way our pitchers throw,” Eden said. “This tournament is going to come down to who put the time in and who stayed in shape. For us, it’s going to be pound the zone, let our defense work and then get some runs on the board when we’re at bat.” Senior Liam Davidson added an RBI single to the Hillsborough victory in the fourth inning.

Hillsborough High School pitcher Joey O’Donnell fires in a pitch from the mound during the team’s pool play game against Rutgers Prep on July 14. O’Donnell had two strikeouts in his three-plus innings of work on the mound to help Hillsborough defeat Rutgers Prep, 5-2.

Hillsborough will play against the Gill St. Bernard’s Knights, from Gladstone, in their second pool game of the 11B-TD Bank Regional on July 15. The winner of that game will play the team that is 2-0 coming out of the 11A-Piscataway Regional for an automatic bid in the single elimination round of 32. Teams can also advance past the pool stage round depending on their three-game pool play record and how it compares to the other teams

in the entire North Jersey bracket. “I think if we play like we did in the first game that we can make a good run in this tournament,” Wolff said. “We’re a good group of guys. We have some great arms, good hitters and we play well in the field.” However things turn out in the next two games, Eden is just thrilled to be back on the field with his team, watching them play baseball. The coach was happy to be able to get back with his squad for batting practice on Monday and is

looking forward to spending the next few days with his team on the diamond. Win or lose, it is a blessing in Eden’s eyes that the team has the opportunity to play baseball and he wants his players to focus on having fun and enjoying the time they have on the ﬁeld together. “Come out with a smile on your face and don’t worry about the results. Just focus on having fun and enjoy the time we have as a team to be on the ﬁeld together,” Eden said.

Community Assistance Network receives emergency grant from Griswold Home Care Hillsborough Township’s Community Assistance Network (CAN) received a grant from Griswold Home Care of Somerset County for its work to combat an increase in food insecurity due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The money was awarded through the Jean Griswold Foundation’s Griswold Gives COVID-19 Emergency Relief Program, which supports seniorfocused nonproﬁts facing a lack of funding, resources and volunteers due to the pandemic, according to information provided by SPRYTE Communications. Hillsborough Township’s So-

cial Services Department has two missions, according to Assistant Director Cathy Faerber. The ﬁrst is to enhance the lives of the senior population by providing activities designed to improve their overall health and well-being and to keep them living independently as long as possible. The second mission is to provide supplemental services to residents who are less fortunate than most. As the COVID-19 outbreak continues to spread, nonproﬁts are struggling to meet the increasing needs of local seniors, many of whom are unable to leave their houses to get essential products

and services. “During such uncertain times, it’s important to lend a hand to local nonproﬁts serving the growing number of people in need – especially seniors,” Ted Dzvileski, director of Griswold Home Care of Somerset County, said in the statement. “Our ofﬁce is right here in Hillsborough. We’re part of the local community and we’re the neighbors of the families we serve. That’s why, on behalf of the Jean Griswold Foundation, we are very proud to support Hillsborough Township’s CAN.” Launched in 2019, Griswold Gives is an annual grant program

that helps Griswold Home Care franchise directors give back to their communities by awarding grants to local nonproﬁts of their choice. This year, the Jean Griswold Foundation activated the program early under the new name, Griswold Gives COVID-19 Emergency Relief Program, to provide immediate support during the ongoing crisis, according to the statement. The Jean Griswold Foundation is a private charity established by Griswold Home Care to further the company’s belief that care for the elderly and disabled should be available to all. Every

dollar donated is used to further its mission to support programs and services that allow seniors to age in place. Nationally, the Jean Griswold Foundation has partnered with Meals on Wheels America to help seniors and disabled adults in need, according to the statement.

revenues, costs and business models. The sudden and pervasive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is upending revenue streams for many businesses. Non-profit cultural institutions are particularly hard hit as stay-at-home orders necessitate cancellation of school programs, special events and regular visitation hours. How can non-profits make strategic financial decisions confidently during and after this crisis? Are there new business models, cost-saving strategies, and alternative revenue streams that can help? Does the crisis actually offer new opportunities to reimagine financial sustainability for these organizations? How will institutions ensure that their collections and programming are accessible to communities without resources, and would reaching such communities expand potential funding opportunities? This session will ask participants to consider equity and access alongside fiscal strategy and touch on board engagement and stewardship as well. Readings will be circulated ahead of time to familiarize attendees with some of the issues that may be at play. Each webinar is free to attend with registration. With registration you will receive information to participate via Zoom. The webinars will be recorded and shared publicly following each session.

Virtual grand jury pilot program returns dozens of indictments Virtual grand juries in Bergen and Mercer counties have returned 33 indictments since June 18, allowing stalled criminal cases to move forward safely and without crowding courthouses with potential jurors. In-person court proceedings were suspended by the Supreme Court in March after a state of emergency was declared in response to the COVID-19 public health crisis. There are now 1,870 defendants held in jail awaiting indictment, and additional defendants must wait for their cases to be heard while on pretrial release, according to information provided by New Jersey Courts. “If we could safely accommodate hundreds of grand jurors at our courthouses while tending to other emergent needs, we would do so,” said Judge Glenn A. Grant, acting administrative director of the courts, in the statement. “The reality is we do not have the space to keep large numbers of grand jurors socially distanced throughout

our facilities during this health crisis.” Live grand juries also would exclude citizens in at-risk populations who might be unwilling to travel to courthouses because of legitimate health and safety concerns, Grant said in the statement. The court has instead provided any needed technological equipment so that a fair cross-section of the community has the opportunity to participate in the grand jury process. During the pilot program, court staff delivered tablets with broadband access to seven jurors and web cameras to four other jurors and then helped them with the setup. No jurors were turned away because they lacked the space or technological equipment to participate, according to the statement. To protect the security and secrecy of grand jury hearings, only jurors have the ability to log into virtual proceedings, according to the statement. Jurors also are provided headphones so the hearings cannot be overheard by other members of a house-

hold. In addition, the court supplemented its standard grand jury charge and secrecy oath with an oath that specifically addresses the requirements of participation in a virtual proceeding. “Just as we do with live grand juries, we rely on virtual grand juries to honor the oath they are sworn to follow,” Grant said in the statement. Jurors are questioned before and after deliberations to ensure that there were no technological issues interfering with proceedings. While some grand jurors required assistance to log in, there were no incidents that compromised the actual grand jury presentment, according to the statement. In Bergen County, which was among the counties earliest and hardest hit by the spread of the coronavirus, vicinage staff staged several days of mock virtual grand jury proceedings to identify and prepare for potential problems. Jurors consistently gave the virtual grand jury pilot program high

marks for efficiency and competency in surveys administered by the courts, according to the statement. Since the start of the COVID-19 health crisis, New Jersey courts have moved cases forward successfully through the use of virtual technology. To date, the Judiciary has conducted 48,757 virtual court events with 470,085 participants, according to the statement. “We have used virtual technology with great success in a variety of settings, including pretrial conferences, bench trials, and Supreme Court arguments,” Grant said in the statement. “Virtual grand juries are not an ideal solution, but these are not ideal times. Given that we have no way of knowing when this health crisis will end, virtual grand juries are our best alternative if we are to move cases forward in a manner that allows all citizens to participate in the jury process. Justice cannot be served if the criminal justice process is stalled.”

Minimally Invasive Procedure Promotes Weight Loss

besity is a common and serious disease in the United States, affecting more than 40% of adults and putting them at greater risk for a wide range of other health complications, including heart disease, stroke and diabetes. And while diet and exercise are critical to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, people with obesity may need additional interventions to help them in their weight loss journey. The Center for Bariatric Surgery & Metabolic Medicine at Princeton Medical Center offers a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to treating obesity, including a safe and effective procedure called endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty. This procedure, together with diet and exercise, can help patients regain their health and feel more confident in their appearance. Serious Health Impacts Obesity rates in the United States have been climbing for decades, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). From 1999 through 2018, the prevalence of obesity increased from 30.5% to

42.4%, the CDC reports. Defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or above, obesity is classified as a disease because it has adverse medical effects on your body. In addition to increasing the risk for heart disease, stroke and diabetes, obesity has been associated with acid reflux, joint problems, sleep apnea, certain cancers, infertility and many other medical problems as well as premature death. Treating obesity has been shown to decrease the risk for many of these conditions. For those who have tried to lose weight and failed, procedures are available to promote weight loss. The most commonly known is bariatric surgery, where the stomach is surgically altered to reduce its size or the way food is digested. Candidates for bariatric surgery typically must: • Have a BMI of 40 or greater or be more than 100 pounds overweight, or • Have a BMI of 35 or greater and at least one more obesity-related conditions Candidates for endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty include patients with obe-

THE STATE WE’RE IN

sity who have a BMI greater than 30, those who have not had success with weight loss through diet and exercise, and those who, for one reason or another, do not feel that surgery is an option. A Minimally Invasive Outpatient Procedure With endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, doctors insert an endoscope equipped with a suturing device into your throat and down to your stomach. The doctor then sutures the stomach to create a smaller, tube-shaped pouch, which effectively restricts the amount of food you can eat. A good way to picture the result is to imagine a balloon. When you eat, your stomach stretches like a balloon. If you reduce the size of the balloon, you reduce the amount of food it takes to feel full. The procedure takes about an hour to 90 minutes to perform and does not require any incisions. Most patients go home the same day. Following endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, a liquid diet is temporarily prescribed in order to allow for healing and to jumpstart the weight-loss process. There

generally are no other restrictions beyond diet following the procedure. Patients usually return to work within a day or two after the procedure and begin to integrate a diet and exercise routine to help lose weight and keep it off. Studies show that over a period of five years, people who underwent endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty were able to achieve and sustain a weight loss of 15-20% of their total body weight. In other words, if you weighed 225 pounds prior to the procedure, your result could be a sustainable weight of 180 pounds. Typically, people lose the weight in the first three to six months after the procedure, with the goal of maintaining it over time. Lifelong Journey While endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty and other procedures have proven to be effective in helping people lose weight, weight loss is a lifelong journey. A healthy diet and daily physical activity are just as important to achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight. No matter where you are in your weight loss journey, here are some helpful tips

for eating healthy and managing your weight. • Eat a healthy diet that emphasizes fruits, vegetables, and low-fat or fat-free dairy, and is low in saturated fat and added sugars. Most fruits and vegetables are low in calories and high fiber, which will leave you feeling fuller longer. • Pay attention to portion sizes. You can still eat your favorite foods but eat smaller portions less often. • Think about what you drink. Calories aren’t just on your plate; they’re in your glass too. Try substituting water for high-calorie beverages like soda and juice, and if you drink alcohol, limit how much you consume. • Slow down. It takes your brain at least 20 minutes to catch up to your stomach. Eating slowly can help you eat less. • Get moving. Exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight, and it can help further reduce your risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and a host of other health problems. If you haven’t been physically active for a while, talk with your doctor before beginning an exercise plan and start slowly.

• Monitor your weight. Checking in with your scale regularly can help you keep track of your weight and alert you to any adjustments that need to be made in your diet and exercise routine to stay within a healthy range. Patients at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center (PMC) who undergo endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty have access to the same preand post-procedure services that are offered to patients who undergo bariatric surgery at PMC, including nutrition counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, and social worker support. Coverage for the procedure varies by insurance plan. Check with your plan to see if it is covered. To find a gastroenterologist with Penn Medicine Princeton Health or for more information about the Center for Bariatric Surgery & Metabolic Medicine at Princeton Medical Center, call 1-888-742-7496 or visit www.princetonhcs.org. Monica Saumoy, M.D., is board certiﬁed in gastroenterology and internal medicine. She is a member of the medical staff at Penn Medicine Princeton Health.

Climate change in New Jersey: warmer and wetter

oes New Jersey seem rainier than usual? Are the winters milder? How about high tide flooding at the shore? It’s not your imagination. According to a new report by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, increased rainfall, warmer temperatures and more coastal flooding are all happening right now due to a changing climate. The Scientific Report on Climate Change is the state’s comprehensive effort to gather the latest and most reliable information on the current and anticipated impacts of climate change. “Many of the impacts of climate change are already familiar to New Jerseyans, including increasing temperatures, rising sea levels and more frequent and intense storms,” Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Catherine R. McCabe said. “As our climate continues to change, it is urgent that New Jerseyans understand what future impacts are likely to occur, and when,” she said. Here are some key findings: • New Jersey’s average temperature is already 3.5 degrees higher than the first

records from 1895. Continued warming at historically unprecedented levels is projected, with the state’s average annual temperature expected to rise another 4.1 to 5.7 degrees Fahrenheit by 2050. • Annual rainfall in New Jersey is expected to increase 7% to 11% by 2050, and it could occur in more intense rain events that cause localized flooding. • By 2050, there is a 50% chance that sea level along New Jersey’s coastline will rise by 1.4 feet, and a 17% chance it will rise by at least 2.1 feet. This will increase coastal flooding during sunny days and storms, threatening infrastructure, residents and businesses. Sea level is projected to further increase by as much as 3 to 6 feet by 2100. To put this in perspective, most of the streets on barrier islands between Barnegat Bay and the Atlantic Ocean are about 5 to 8 feet above sea level. • Temperature increases could intensify air pollution, which in turn would threaten respiratory and cardiovascular health. These impacts are likely to be worse for lowerincome communities and communities of color, which already are disproportionately affected by pollution. • Although overall pre-

cipitation is increasing, the time between rain events may become longer, causing droughts. This could reduce the Garden State’s agricultural capacity, leading to decreased food production, increased food prices and economic losses to farmers. In addition, some crops currently grown in New Jersey may not do well in warmer temperatures. • In addition to dry periods between strong storms, higher temperatures will increase evaporation from water bodies, and vegetation will transpire water and deplete soil moisture more quickly. Groundwater levels will drop, resulting in loss of headwater wetlands. Critical vernal pond habitats for rare species will dry and disappear at far more alarming rates than what is already occurring. • Wildfire seasons could lengthen and intensify, increasing the risk to New Jer-

sey communities. • If carbon dioxide emissions continue unabated, the ocean will become more acidic, impacting important marine and estuarine life and New Jersey’s fishing industry. • Harmful algal blooms in New Jersey’s lakes may increase in frequency and intensity, disrupting swimming and fishing, and posing risks to the state’s drinking water supply reservoirs. The report is a wake-up call for immediate action toward reducing emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases like methane. Proactive and aggressive steps now will help to keep climate change impacts as minimal as possible. New Jersey cannot avoid these impacts, but taking action now can help keep them at the lower end of the potential ranges. The encouraging news is that New Jersey is already

taking action. The state’s energy master plan sets a goal of 100% clean electricity by 2050, generated by solar and wind power. Electrifying the building and transportation sectors and shifting away from fossil fuels will help. New Jersey can also employ “natural solutions” to climate change, using the ability of trees, vegetation and soils to sequester carbon. That means preserving as much forested land as possible, letting forests mature, planting native trees on fallow lands and in urban and suburban landscapes (and protecting them from deer and invasive species), restoring wetlands, and transitioning to sustainable agricultural practices that sequester carbon. The report also provides New Jerseyans with information to plan for the changes we know are coming.

“This report will empower governments, businesses and people across the state to better understand how climate change is impacting and will continue to impact all aspects of life in New Jersey,” said David Rosenblatt, the state’s Chief Resilience Officer and Assistant Commissioner for Climate and Flood Resilience at the DEP. “The more we learn about and experience the impacts of climate change in New Jersey, the clearer our urgent need for resilience planning becomes,” he said.

Our Changing World

tropical storm came ashore near Atlantic City and blew up along much of the Mid-Atlantic coast, flooding roads and fields. High temperatures and humidity blanketed the East and other regions of the country. This, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) and other weather and climate predictions, around the world, is our new normal. Polls show that 60% of Americans view manmade climate change as a “major threat.” And they want something done. The question is: what? And will it be soon enough to hold off

more powerful storms, heat and the destruction of our environments? We are not alone. Japan recently experienced extreme weather, in the form of rain storms depositing more than 9 inches of rain in a single day. Landslides and flooding rivers swept away villagers and nursing home residents. A Japanese climate scientist warned that global warming will be producing rainfall amounts never experienced before. The South Pole, the most isolated landmass on the planet, is experiencing unprecedented warming along its coasts. The heat is coming primarily from the trop-

ics, but reveals that no place on the planet is unaffected by warming. The major impacts of this warming will be the loss of sea ice and rising ocean levels. In Siberia, unusual heat is allowing wildfires to burn the tundra’s permafrost, which in turn is releasing stored methane, a more powerful, and therefore more dangerous, heat-trapping gas than carbon dioxide. In the Atlantic Ocean, off the New Jersey coast and north up to Canada, the warming waters are having impacts on the species living there. Right whales and lobsters are respectively dwindling in numbers and

migrating north. The Gulf of Maine’s deep waters have warmed nearly 9 degrees Fahrenheit since 2004. The food that the right whales primarily eat, “fat-rich zooplankton,” is moving north, and the whales are following. The lobster population in the Gulf of Maine is expected to decline by as much as 62%. Instead of seeking ways to reverse climate change, the Trump administration is opposing efforts and new restrictions. The National Marine Fisheries, ironically a division of NOAA, is avoiding any publicity of

MINI IMPLANTS

As their name implies, “mini” dental implants are typically half the size of a traditional implant. They are an option for patients who might not have enough bone to accept a larger implant and do not want to undergo bone augmentation procedures. Mini implants are also a good option for patients who want to replace small teeth, front teeth, premolars, and teeth located in a narrow area. Mini implants can also be used by patients with dentures and partial dentures, who desire more stability for their dental prostheses. In these cases, a small, ball-shaped portion of the implant sticks out of the gums and snaps securely into a retaining socket on the inside of a denture. In addition to their cosmetic appeal, implants allow people to enjoy a healthy and varied diet without the restrictions some

denture wearers face. They also often bring a renewed sense of self-confidence. People with implants often say they feel better, look better, and live better. If you think implants may be for you, call us for a consultation. A visit to Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman, may be just what you need to enhance your quality of life. You can reach us at 609-924-8300. “Our commitment is to relationships of partnership, respect, and appreciation.” “We offer cosmetic and family dentistry as well as Zoom!® and Invisalign®.” Please e-mail your questions or comments to: drjamescally@yahoo.com

P.S. At least four mini implants are typically required to secure a lower denture, and at least six to secure an upper denture.

Mission will select three finalists from each state and territory and a national panel of Purple Heart recipients and other distinguished Americans will select the final honorees. A complete list of honorees will be announced nationally on Nov. 11, Veterans Day.

Students who have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 may be placed in quarantine. The student may be asked to go home or to move to a different residential facility for up to 14 days. There is room for up to 72 students to be placed in quarantine on campus. Rider’s Resolved and Ready plan will be updated as the COVID-19 circumstances evolve and new information becomes available, officials said. “The plan provides a framework that

incorporates the best practices and recommendations that exist in higher education,” Dell’Omo said. He acknowledged that “the challenges are daunting,” but said they can be overcome. “Every dimension of the Rider experience will be affected by it, but it alone won’t ensure success. Achieving success is going to take the commitment and persistence of every individual working together in a spirit of resolution and flexibility,” Dell’Omo said.

RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION In recent years, the percentage of people, who believe that it is very important to have religion incorporated into a funeral service, has fallen to 39.5 percent (according to the National Funeral Directors Association’s 2017 Consumer Awareness and Preferences Study). As the broader trend of people not identifying with religion continues, it is important to point out that funeral preplanning enables individuals to select non-clergy celebrants to conduct their funeral ceremonies. As with many matters surrounding funerals, it is best to make one’s preferences clearly known, in advance, so that the decision is not left to others. Without speciﬁc instructions in hand, relatives of the deceased are left to assume what is in their loved would have wanted.

It gives you a design philosophy. pleasant feel, without being What is the Kodo design too ostentatious. philosophy? While that may seem like Taken right from the a simple thing to accomplish, Mazda media guide, it states: from a design standpoint, “Kodo design aims to exit really isn’t. By going the press feelings and experiminimalist route, one always ences of power and beauty risks producing a product that come with the image that comes out flat, or boring. of things in motion. Mazda In my mind, Mazda most wants this image of motion

to be evoked from Mazda design even when the models are sitting still. Therefore, Mazda design incorporates energetic and graceful elements to replicate sense of flow.” It continues: “Inspirations used to develop the beauty of motion include natural elements, such as wind and water, as well as animal movement and athletic display.” I really can’t tell you if what I call minimalism and what Mazda terms the Kodo philosophy are one in the same. But, they seem to share some common ground: to make the experience of driving a Mazda comfortable and almost seamless. In that, the folks at Mazda, succeed. The CX-30 I drove for the week was the Premium Package AWD model. It carries an MSRP sticker price of $31,370 and had very little added options. The only options added to the base price of $29,600 were $275 for a frameless automatic dimming mirror, $450 for a navigation SD card and $1,045 for destination and delivery. This car is comfortable to drive. Is easy to get in and out of. And carries out most of the routine functions of what

the modern day car needs to do on an above average level. It is powered by a 2.5 liter, four cylinder engine that puts out 186 horsepower at 186 pound feet of torque. This engine is coupled with a six speed automatic transmission. The power and driving dynamics of this CX-30 are solid, but, at the same time, somewhat flat. When you put the gear selector into the “sport” mode the CX-30 perks up a bit, giving it that extra boost off the line or for making aggressive passes. But, at the end of the day, this CX-30 is not what I would call a “driving enthusiasts” vehicle. It checks all the right boxes for handling, comfort, visibility and such, but if you are looking for a more dynamic driving experience, it falls a little bit short in that regard. The CX-30 is offered in four different trim levels: base ($23,000); Select ($25,000); Preferred ($27,300) and Premium ($29,300). The Department of Transportation’s EPA fuel ratings for this model come in at 27 miles per gallon on average – with 32 mpg’s on the high-

It comes with an abundance of standard features, like navigation, heated seats, power moonroof, 18-inch alloy wheels and premium audio with 12 speakers and much more. While I give this vehicle generally solid marks, all around, if there is one thing I would have the folks at Mazda change, it would be its infotainment system.

Another observer warned that departments in NOAA are “entrenched” in old ways of doing things, when dynamic management is needed. In contrast, Canada has recently issued “wide-ranging” protections for marine life, including seasonal closures of fishing and whaling regions. Not doing this, as the current American departments’ policies are, will lead to the extinction of species. These, in turn, will have economic, food supply and ecological impacts. The good news is that former Vice President Joe Biden has recently consulted with both Senator Bernie Sanders and with Al Gore, as well as with Representative Alexandria OcasioCortez and former Secretary of State John Kerry, and he seems to be heading toward more active climate stance.

Solutions

Last year, Biden proposed a $1.7 trillion plan to reach 100% clean energy by eliminating carbon emissions by 2050. This is one of the steps we urgently need, including turning to electric vehicles. This month’s heat and storms should remind those not thinking of these issues. Looking across this country and around the world, observers are finding rapid changes in many regions, at many levels. As a result, it seems pretty clear that if we want to preserve our world as we have known it, we must undertake, as soon as possible, a range of policies that reduce emissions, and the warming they produce, while also adopting policies that preserve life in as many of its forms as possible. Extinctions are in many cases dangerously advanced, leading to destructive ecological repercussions. We know what to do. The issue is: are we going to work together to marshal the will to do what we need to do?

it should be a bit more dynamic. The controller functions for the infotainment system can be a bit confusing at times. However, the biggest drawback to the infotainment system is the voice recognition command system. When I am driving, I like to use the voice command systems of all the cars I test. If gives me a way to test out their functionality and is much safer, as well. I found the Mazda voice command system in this CX30 to be inferior. I found myself having to repeat myself several times just to get it to perform simple functions like making a phone call or inputting a navigation address. It got to be quite frustrating, at times. A software upgrade is in order for this operation.
