Library presenter to discuss little known Founding Father

he Monmouth County Library has received an $800 grant from the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History which will enable the library to virtually present a unique program from the institute’s national initiative on Revisiting the Founding Era. Donna Mansfield, at the Eastern Branch of the county library system in Shrewsbury, wrote the grant awarded by the institute that teaches scholars and the general public about American history. The institute also maintains the Gilder Lehrman Collection and other archives to promote American history education, according to a press release from the county library. The grant that has been secured by Mansfield will feature a presentation by historian and doctoral candidate Jennifer W. Reiss highlighting the significant contributions of little known Founding Father Gouverneur Morris on May 18. Information on registration for the program is included on the library’s website at www.MonCoLib.org The May 18 program is part of Revisiting the Founding Era, a threeyear national initiative of the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History presented in partnership with the American Library Association and the National Constitution Center, with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, according to the press release. “We are grateful to Donna for writing and securing this grant,” said Monmouth County Commissioner Lillian G. Burry, the liaison from the Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners to the library. “Ms. Reiss is a unique historian who has long since proven she cap-

tures the personality, problems and best attributes of each of the personages in history whom she researches and presents. “To have her present this program for our Monmouth County audience is one more example of how our library system is innovative and in the forefront of seeking the best and the most interesting, be it within the walls of the library or through the wonders of modern technology that brings our speakers directly into the homes of our members,” Burry said. Reiss, a doctoral student working on the North Atlantic in the 18th century, is particularly interested in women and gender, early modern medicine and disability, British and early American legal history, popular and material culture, and Loyalism during and after the American Revolution, according to the press release. Reiss’s first research project in her doctoral program features Gouverneur Morris and the nuances of physical disability in early America, and attempted to understand how Morris, the early American statesman and diplomat, negotiated his multiple physical impairments alongside class and gender expectations in the early Republic, according to the press release. Prior to in-depth studies and research on American history, Reiss was an attorney practicing in New York and London, and an associate at the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice at the New York University School of Law. She holds degrees from the University of Cambridge (Corpus Christi College), Harvard Law School, University of Cambridge (Sidney Sussex College), and the University of Pennsylvania, where she was also awarded

college and Benjamin Franklin honors. Mansfield originally submitted for a grant from the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History in 2018 and was invited to apply again for the most recent grant from the institute to underwrite the cost of a single program. She selected Reiss’s presentation for the grant because of the educator’s large appeal to adults and to high school students. The librarian also noted Morris is a particularly fascinating subject since he contributed so much to the founding of the nation, yet appears to be relatively unknown in the 21st century, according to the press release. “I congratulate Ms. Mansfield and the Monmouth County library staff,” Monmouth County Library Commission Chairwoman Nancy Grbelja said. “This is a very prestigious grant and the program selected by Donna is exceptional not only for the subject matter, but also because of the excellence of Ms. Reiss as a presenter. “Mr. Morris has often been referred to as the ‘Forgotten Founding Father’ and the speaker’s presentation will help people rediscover him. “In Monmouth County where so many people and places played such vital and fascinating roles in the founding of the nation, this particular program will be a highlight among the many the library offers throughout the year,” Grbelja said. For more information about this program and all of the programs offered by the Monmouth County library, visit www.moncolib.org Registration for virtual programs is also available on the website, under Upcoming Events.

Red Bank Regional school board introduces $33M budget By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer

he Red Bank Regional High School District Board of Education has introduced a $33.5 million budget that will fund the operation of the district during the 2021-22 school year. Following a discussion among district administrators and board members, the budget was introduced on March 17. A public hearing is scheduled for April 28.

The budget, which may be revised until that date, may be adopted by the board following the public hearing. Residents of Red Bank, Little Silver and Shrewsbury Borough attend the high school, which is in Little Silver. The budget for the upcoming school year will be supported by a tax levy of $26.8 million to be paid by residential and commercial property owners in Red Bank, Little Silver and Shrewsbury Borough.

United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties’ 2021 Annual Tee-Off presented by Hackensack Meridian Health will be held on May 17 at Hollywood Golf Club, Deal. Registration opens at 11 a.m., with a shotgun start at 12:30 p.m. This fundraiser will benefit the organization’s mission to bridge the gaps to education, financial stability and health for every person in the community, according to a press release. In addition to becoming a sponsor, companies and individuals can support the event by donating silent auction items or purchasing raffle tickets for the chance to win a Hilton Grand Vacation Club weeklong getaway, one-night stay at the Wave Resort in Long Branch, or a $500 Lowe’s gift card. Sponsorships start at $300 and raffle tickets are $25 each or five for $100. More information is available at uwmoc.org/annual-tee-off

2021-22, Red Bank Regional will receive $1.41 million in state aid, an increase of $169,072. The school district’s state aid has increased each year since the enactment of state legislation known as S-2 in 2018. Red Bank Regional was initially scheduled to receive $1.3 million in state aid for the 2020-21 school year, but that amount was revised to $1.24 million because of the financial impact of the pandemic.

NEWS BRIEFS A 12,818-square-foot, Class A warehouse space at 5030 Shafto Road in Tinton Falls was leased recently by an e-commerce company in a transaction managed by Sheldon Gross Realty, according to a press release. The newly constructed Shafto Road building features high bays and a 36-foot clearance for maximum capacity, according to the press release. “In New Jersey and elsewhere, warehouse space remains in extremely high demand – and even more so when it’s new construction,” said Marcy Gross, president of Sheldon Gross Realty. “As the exclusive marketing company for this building’s owner, we made sure companies seeking a warehouse location were aware of the property. The strong demand triggered a quick response to our outreach and our next step was using our expertise to identify the prospective tenant that was the ideal fit in terms of the lease rate and various other considerations. Ultimately, this transaction gave all parties exactly what they wanted,” Gross said.

Specific information about the tax impact of the 2021-22 budget on Red Bank, Little Silver and Shrewsbury Borough property owners is expected to be provided when the budget is considered for adoption by the board later this month. The school district’s 2020-21 budget totaled $32 million and was supported by a tax levy of $26.2 million. During 2020-21, Red Bank Regional received $1.24 million in state aid. For

YOUR TURN

Spring ephemerals are getting their moment in the sun

ake a walk in the woods this month and check out the forest floor. There in the dappled sunlight, popping up through last year’s leaves, you may spot the short-lived flowers of native perennials known as “spring ephemerals.” Spring ephemerals are native woodland wildflowers that bloom during the brief window of time between snowmelt and tree leaf-out. As the spring sun warms the ground, these cute little plants grow quickly, flower, are pollinated and set seed. By June, when New Jersey’s forest floors are deeply shaded by a leafy tree canopy, the blossoms will be gone and the plants hard to find. The season is now for native ephemerals, including spring beauties, bloodroots, yellow trout lilies, rue anemones, Virginia bluebells, Eastern red columbines, Jack-inthe-pulpits, yellow marsh marigolds (cowslips), violets, wild geraniums, trilliums, flowering wintergreens, mayapples (wild mandrakes), Solomon’s seals, moccasin flowers (pink lady’s slippers) and more. Many of them are small and delicate compared to showy summer flowers, but well worth the search. Spring beauty blossoms, for instance, are not much larger than a fingernail and have lovely pink stripes on a pale background. Trout lily flowers are golden yellow bells speckled with spots, much like the fish for which they are named; even their mottled leaves resemble brook trout. If you are walking in a flood plain, you may see colonies of Virginia bluebells, whose magenta flower buds open into tubular blossoms of an exquisite sky blue.

Overabundant deer herds have been proven to be the greatest threat to New Jersey’s forest regeneration for all native plant species, from trees to shrubs to wildflowers. The loss of natural forest structure, starting from the ground up, ruins the habitat value and the food chain for everything from butterflies to songbirds to amphibians to predatory birds. • Avoid using insecticides – especially neonicotinamide-based insecticides – on your lawn or shrubs. Insecticides harm beneficial insects as well as pests, and “neonics” destroy all pollinators, especially bees. Support legislative efforts to ban these harmful substances. • Teach your children, grandchildren and favorite young people about the importance of native plants. Plan a hike in the woods this month and see who can be first to spot beautiful spring ephemerals. Bring a field guide and see what other native trees, shrubs and plants you can identify. For help with identification, visit the Native Plant Society of New Jersey website at www.npsnj.org/pages/nativeplants_ Native_Plant_Gallery.html

This Battle Rages By Paul Hall

he MonsterVerse has given us updated versions of some classic movie Titans. Godzilla has had his story and King Kong has had his adventures, and throughout the variety of films, different individuals have tried to harness the power of these legendary creatures. Now, it’s time to bring the two classic Titans together in Godzilla vs. Kong. Godzilla has been away for quite some time but he suddenly reemerges from hiding to wreak havoc on Apex Cybernetics, a seemingly innocuous research facility in Pensacola, Florida. After the attack on his facility, Apex head Walter Simmons (Demián Bichir) decides to enlist the help of Nathan Lind (Alexander Skarsgård). Simmons appeals to the man who lost his brother in a previous mission to Hollow Earth to help discover the amazing power that may be housed there. Lind will need to reach out to Ilene Andrews

(Rebecca Hall) and the beast she is housing on Skull Island. That beast is none other than the legendary King Kong, and the hope is that Kong will lead the crew to an entrance to his home. While many believe the attack on Apex was random, Bernie Hayes (Brian Tyree Henry) does not. He hosts the Titan Truth Podcast and is driven to expose the truth behind every conspiracy involving the Titans. Hayes is sought out by the curious Madison Russell (Millie Bobby Brown), who has experience with Godzilla and wants to get to the bottom of things as well. Godzilla and Kong have an ancient rivalry, and although Kong bows to no one, neither does Godzilla, so as expected, the battle between the two rages on. What is Apex really up to and what devastation will be unleashed on society if two of the toughest Titans known to man go toe-totoe? If you have been waiting to brave a

trip to the movie theater, this might be the film to do it with. Godzilla vs. Kong is not only a monster movie, it is also monstrous in its scope and size, and best served on a big screen. As we ride along for face-offs with the legendary beasts, we are treated to sound that will rattle the walls of theaters everywhere, even your home theater. Though dark at times, this film makes amazing use of the contrast in colors between being underwater and the gorgeous nature of Hollow Earth. The acting performances are really secondary to our monsters. The performances that we want to see come from the teams who have crafted two of our legendary friends. From the scars that remain on Kong’s chest from earlier battles to the fresh damage the two inflict on each other, we are treated to a visual spectacle of goods. Although the actors

are secondary, I was a big fan of Tyree Henry’s Bernie as he combines just the right amount of conspiracy drive with apparent courage in his quest to get to the heart of the matter. As the King Kong and Godzilla films have progressed, one thing is for certain: The interwoven plots provide a nice narrative to an overall story, and I’ve found myself truly enjoying the tale. Godzilla vs. Kong is a battle that leaves viewers the ultimate winners.

Should TV shows be done with the COVID story lines? Question: I have to say that the COVID story line with Meredith on Grey’s is getting boring. Do you think Hollywood overestimated the length of the pandemic and didn’t see the optimism that is now growing in our country? —Steve Matt Roush: When the pandemic is truly behind us, it will be interesting to look back at how shows did and didn’t address the pandemic. For those who decided to go all in, like Grey’s, the thing to remember is that we’re not watching their world in real time, and production and scheduling hiatuses further impeded the show’s ability to accelerate the storytelling. That said, I’m weary as well of Meredith in her Banana Republic “safe space” in Malibu limbo and hope she comes out of it soon. I get that many of us are experiencing an extreme case of COVID exhaustion, but of all genres, a medical

drama should be allowed to explore the impact of COVID on its staff thoroughly. However we choose to react to that is up to the viewer, but I can’t criticize them for the effort. It seems to me that the producers of these shows had to be aware of the development and imminent distribution of the vaccine while these episodes were being produced. But as we know, it’s not the end of the story quite yet, and I imagine we’ll see the vaccine play into some of these narratives at some point.

NEWS BRIEFS Thomas Arnone, the director of the Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners, has updated the public on improvements at the intersection of Sycamore and Hance avenues in Tinton Falls. The improvements include the installation of a full traffic signal at the intersection of the two busy thoroughfares. “This project has been significantly delayed due to material shortages resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. By the time most of the equipment arrived, we were unable to complete the improvements due to the winter weather prohibiting the paving of the roads. “Now that the weather has improved and the remaining equipment has been received, crews will be on site within the next two weeks to install the conduit, junction boxes, foundation and a “Red Signal Ahead” sign. This work will take approximately two weeks, weather permitting. “Upon completion of the installation of the “Red Signal Ahead” sign, the milling and paving of all approaches to the intersection will be performed. The paving will be followed by new signs and striping installations which will enable the traffic signal to be put into operation,” Arnone said. Saint Peter’s University Hospital in New Brunswick has launched the Substance Abuse and Addiction Loss Support Group for families who are coping with loss due to addiction. The free and confidential support group meets virtually on the second Thursday of every month from 7-8:30 p.m. Inspired by Saint Peter’s Opioid Task Force, the Substance Abuse and Addiction Loss Support Group is for families and close loved ones of people who have passed away from addiction.

At the end of the challenge, each of them will reveal their true identities to the people who helped build their business. Where does someone even start? And what lessons can these entrepreneurs share as they navigate such a challenging business environment? Each person will need to rely on their own unique secrets of success.

Jersey Mike’s Subs and customers across the country rallied to raise $15 million to help more than 200 charities nationwide during the company’s 11th annual Month of Giving in March. In New Jersey, $1 million was raised for Make-A-Wish New Jersey, which will create life-changing wishes for local children with critical illnesses in the weeks and months ahead, according to a press release. Throughout March, customers were encouraged to make donations to MakeA-Wish New Jersey through the Jersey Mike’s mobile app or onsite at each participating location. The campaign culminated with Jersey Mike’s “Day of Giving” on March 31 when more than 90 local Jersey Mike’s locations donated 100% of the day’s sales, not just profit, to Make-A-Wish New Jersey, according to the press release. These fundraising totals are double the amount raised in 2019 when the company donated $7.3 million to local charities, and $458,000 to Make-A-Wish New Jersey. The contribution of $1 million from Jersey Mike’s Subs will grant the wishes of 100 children in New Jersey who are battling critical illnesses, according to the press release. Make-A-Wish New Jersey and Jersey Mike’s Subs began their partnership in

2017 and in those five years, Jersey Mike’s has raised more than $2.1 million to make local wishes come true in the Garden State, according to the press release. The Monmouth Bar Association has announced a new program that will pair qualifying applicants with attorneys who will accept reduced fees for legal representation.

This program is the first of its kind in Monmouth County and the fourth in the state. The program will match qualified applicants with attorneys who have the background and experience needed to provide appropriate representation at an affordable rate, according to the press release. To participate in the program, applicants seeking legal services must provide proof they meet the financial requirements. Litigants with a household income that is up to 300% of the poverty level in Monmouth County can qualify. For additional information, contact Tracey Settipane at 732-431-5544.

Introducing Bond, James Bond How Sean Connery Landed The Role That Started Everything By David Cohea, ReMIND Magazine

ean Connery got his big break in 1961, although it didn’t look like it at the time. Born Thomas Sean Connery to a factory worker and cleaning woman in Edinburgh, Scotland, he was a strapping lad at 6’2”. He served in the Royal Navy, but a hereditary duodenal ulcer led to a medical discharge at age 19. After that, Thomas — or Sean, as his friends called him — worked odd jobs as a driver, lifeguard, even an artist’s model. He took up bodybuilding, eventually becoming a contestant in the 1950 Mr. Universe contest. An avid footballer, he was scouted by Manchester United but decided to go into acting instead. In 1953 Connery got a bit part in a London production of South Pacific, and

at a cast party he met up with fellow actor Michael Caine. The two became friends, and Connery soon followed Caine’s lead into more serious dramatic roles. Starting at the Oxford Playhouse, he was soon getting bit parts in British TV shows and movies. His first major role was opposite Lana Turner in the British melodrama Another Time, Another Place (1958). During production, Turner’s gangster boyfriend Johnny Stompanato became suspicious that Connery was having an affair with Turner. One day Stompanato stormed on to the set with a gun to confront the two; Connery disarmed him and knocked him flat on his back. About this time, Eon Productions was getting ready to cast for Dr. No, the first of the James Bond movies. Ian Fleming’s spy novels had been immensely popular through the ’50s and seemed just the thing for an action/adventure series.

Fleming worked closely with producers Albert “Cubby” Broccoli and Harry Saltzman to select the right man for the role. They had originally wanted to cast

Cary Grant as Bond, but Grant would only commit to one film while the producers wanted someone who would be part of a series. A number of actors were considered, including David Niven, Patrick McGoohan and Roger Moore, but Connery won the final vote. He was still rough, however, and director Terence Young got to work educating the actor “in the ways of being dapper, witty and, above all, cool.” It wasn’t until Fleming saw the premiere of Dr. No in October 1962 that he realized they had found the perfect man to play Bond. Little did anyone know how far Sean Connery would go. After playing Bond in six more movies (many consider him the best Bond in the franchise’s now 60-year history), he would go on to plum roles in The Man Who Would Be King (1975), Highlander (1986), The Untouchables (1987), Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), The Rock (1996) and more. As it turned out, 1961 was a very good year for Sean Connery, who passed at age 90 on Oct. 31, 2020, after a long career as one of Hollywood’s sexiest men.

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA

2021 Nissan Kicks SR

n the late 1970s, I drove and owned a Ford Pinto. I generally liked this vehicle. It had a manual transmission and a cool racing stripe. It was also fun to drive. All that came to a crashing halt one day, though, when I was motoring along with it and a news report and came on the radio detailing how this particular model was prone to danger from rear-end collisions that could cause potentially fatal gas tank explosions. As Bob Dylan once wrote, “You don’t need a weatherman to tell you which way the wind is blowing.” I knew which way the wind was blowing immediately – right down to the nearest dealership where I could trade this Pinto in and drive out with a safer ride. Bye-bye Pinto. Hello, Renault Le Peter Perrotta Car. The Le Car, a tiny compact coupe with a four-speed manual transmission, was fun to drive. It stuck to the road like glue. However, it turned out to be a mechanical disaster. It frequently broke down and no one knew how to repair it properly. When the two-tone, orange and black 2021 Nissan Kicks SR showed up for me to test drive last week, I immediately thought of that Le Car. While I am sure the Kicks is nowhere near the mechanical disaster the Le Car was, it reminded me of the Le Car because of its appearance and smallness. While the Kicks isn’t a coupe – it’s a four-door, compact crossover or SUV – it’s small and athletic like the Le Car and not too powerful. You can scoot around town with the Kicks – much like the Le Car – weaving in and out of traffic. And it’s very economical on gas. While the Le Car had a lawn mower like engine, all of 1.4 liters big, the Kicks features a 1.6 liter four cylinder engine that puts out all of 122 horsepower. But one is not going to buy a Kicks expecting it to have muscle car like performance.

The 2021 Nissan Kicks

The Kicks is a utilitarian-like vehicle good for scooting around town with and is easy on the wallet when it comes to gas consumption. The EPA fuel consumption ratings for the 2021 Kicks give it an overall rating of 33 miles per gallon – 36 mpg on highway driving and 31 mpg in city driving. The EPA estimates that the annual average fuel cost for driving a Kicks is an impressive $1,250, as it uses a miserly 3 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. Overall, after driving this Kicks for one week, I ended up liking it for what it is and putting up with it for what it isn’t. It’s a good-looking front wheel drive, compact crossover that lags in power, but makes up for it in its versatility for around town driving. The inside ergonomics are adequate. It’s a bit snug on the fit – I am six-foot tall – but not so snug that it makes it an uncomfortable ride. The base price of the SR Kicks model I tested is $21,940. However, with added options my Kicks tester carried a bottom like sticker price of $27,075. Added options included: $1,200 or the

premium package; $495 for black alloy 17inch wheels; $575 for an ambient lighting package; $595 for the premium two-tone exterior paint; $460 for illuminated kick plates; $225 for carpeted floor mats and cargo mat; $435 for a roof rack and spoiler and $1,150 for destination charges. The premium package includes: an upgraded Bose, 8 speaker sound system; heated seats and steering wheel; security system; a tonneau cover; Sirius radio and a Wi-Fi hot spot. The Kicks overall rating in the government’s Five Star safety crash test ratings comes in at four stars out of a possible five. It received five stars on the side crash test but only three for the front driver test and four for the front passenger test. It got a four-star rating on the rollover test. The folks over at Car and Driver give the Kicks high marks for being peppy around town, having a spacious cabin and generous standard equipment. They gave it low marks for being anemic at highway speeds, having a noisy engine and in need of more storage cubbies. New added features for this year’s Kicks – a model that Nissan first introduced

in 2016 – include: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; a standard 7-inch screen with a new 8-inch touch screen for the SV and SR models; a redesigned bolder front grille; new wheel designs; rear disc brakes for the SV and SR, and an array of bold new color options and two-tone combinations. The Kicks is available in three trim levels, the base S, mid-level SV and top of the line SR. I found the interior buttons and switches on the Kicks easy enough to operate. The infotainment system, while not all that sophisticated, was adequate, and the Android Auto system worked quite well for navigation. Like most of the cars these days, I found the voice command recognition system a bit frustrating at times as it made me repeat my commands sometimes. However, overall, I would recommend considering the Kicks if you are in the market for a fairly inexpensive compact crossover or SUV. Peter Perrotta’s On The Road column appears regularly.

Resident questions Congressman’s vote

can’t imagine that Congressman Chris Smith actually believed he represents constituents in New Jersey’s Fourth Congressional District when he voted against the American Rescue Plan. This is the $1.9 trillion COVID relief bill that will be helping so many thousands of people in this Congressional District get back on our feet. It will help schools, it will save jobs, restore healthcare and help our towns avoid cutting services because of shortfalls in other revenue. While the Congressman’s negative vote on this bill may be the biggest and most dramatic failure to represent people in the

district, it is by far not the only one that did not reflect the best interests of the citizens of the district. I urge my fellow Fourth Congressional District voters to pay close attention to the Congressman’s voting pattern and when you have another chance to cast your vote for someone to be your voice and your vote in Congress, ask yourself if you really want Congressman Smith to be that person. In the meantime, if you also think Chris Smith voted the wrong way on the American Rescue Plan, let him know. Nancy Byron Tinton Falls

NEWS BRIEFS Brookdale Community College President David Stout has announced that Nancy Kaari has joined the institution as vice president of advancement. “Nancy has had a long and successful career in advancement and administration in the nonprofit sector with the American Red Cross and I am confident her expertise will allow us to build upon our past successes,” Stout was quoted as saying in a press release. “She is a proud community college graduate and is passionate about opening the doors of Brookdale to students from all backgrounds.” Kaari will oversee and lead operations of advancement, including development, fundraising, alumni affairs, college relations, grants, strategic partnerships, governmental affairs and community relations, according to the press release. A bill sponsored by state Assembly Democrats Linda Carter, Eric Houghtaling and Angela McKnight that will provide funding for arts and culture organizations has been signed into law by Gov. Phil Murphy. Subject to the availability of federal funds, $15 million provided to New Jersey in response to the COVID-19 pandemic will be made available to the Economic Development Authority (EDA) so it can issue grants to struggling arts and culture organizations, according to a press release from New Jersey Assembly Democrats. The EDA must allocate $7.5 million to the New Jersey Council on the Arts for the purpose of issuing grants to arts and culture nonprofit organizations. The other $7.5 million will be reserved by the EDA for grants to support for-profit arts and culture organizations. Carter represents Middlesex, Somerset and Union counties; Houghtaling repre-

sents Monmouth County; and McKnight represents Hudson County. The Assembly members said, “We must show our support now, while many (arts and culture organizations) are struggling to remain open, to ensure arts and culture can continue to play an important role in our state. This funding lets us look forward to the unforgettable experiences these organizations will once again provide after the pandemic has ended.”
