Chamber’s educational foundation opens scholarship applications

scholarship for higher education is life-changing; just ask Laura Burns, a teacher in Hazlet who wanted to continue graduate work to reach her goal in school administration. As a middle school language arts and social studies teacher, Burns dreamed of taking the next step, but realized the financial hurdles to make it happen would be an obstacle. She applied to the Eastern Monmouth Area Chamber of Commerce (EMACC) Educational Foundation for its annual scholarship and the rest is history, or her story, according to a press release. Burns was one of 12 recipients of an EMACC scholarship in 2019. She was awarded a $2,000 scholarship, which is designed to help non-traditional students. Burns knew what she wanted to do and she needed a master’s degree to accomplish her goals. With the help of the scholarship, Burns will graduate with a Master’s of Arts Administration and Leadership from Georgian Court University, Lakewood, in May. She has been invited to give the commencement address for all of the master’s degree candidates, according to the press release. “I wanted to thank you again for believing in me and helping me financially,” Burns told the EMACC Educational Foundation. “My two-year journey has been daunting and incredibly rewarding; my dreams of becoming a school administrator are close enough that I can taste them.

I have accomplished something I never imagined possible.” The EMACC Educational Foundation selects up to 12 non-traditional students each year for a minimum $2,000 award. Students must be 25 years old and returning to school, changing careers, or pursuing education for career advancement, or they must be college students entering their junior or senior year and/or have completed 60 credits, according to the press release. “We do this because we believe it is beneficial for our communities to offer financial help for higher education. It’s a win-win for the chamber members and others who graciously donate to the foundation and also for those who are chosen for our scholarships and grants,” EMACC Educational Foundation Board Chair Jackeline Mejias-Fuertes said. Since its inception in 1999, the EMACC Educational Foundation has awarded $332,000 in scholarships and grants. The EMACC Educational Foundation scholarship application is now open for the 2021-22 academic year for full-time and part-time students. Individuals who are interested must demonstrate they are continuing their education and need additional funding to help them attend school. Applications for scholarships are due by May 7. “We are excited to begin the search for qualified candidates for this year’s scholarship awards,” Mejia-Fuertes said. A panel of board members will review each applicant’s credentials and financial

needs and make a decision, according to the press release. Eligible applicants must live or work in Monmouth County, be employed by or sponsored by a chamber member, or live in housing provided by a chamber member that is a nonprofit organization or attend a chamber member college or university. Visit www.emacc.org to view affiliations. An applicant does not have to be a member of EMACC, but must provide a recommendation by a chamber member in good standing who is not a relative. Applications may be downloaded from the chamber’s website, https://emacc.org/scholarships Completed applications and recommendations must be e-mailed by 5 p.m. May 7 to emacc.foundation@gmail.com The foundation also provides grants to assist with tuition and fees associated with post-high school vocational, technical or certification programs. Those grants are available to full-time and part-time students and those applications are accepted throughout the year, according to the press release. The EMACC Educational Foundation will announce the scholarship and grant winners in June and will present the awards at a virtual ceremony. Donations to support these awards are welcome and may be made on the EMACC website at https://emacc.org/educationfoundation or mailed to the EMACC Educational Foundation, care of EMACC, 8 Reckless Place, Red Bank, NJ 07701.

Laura Burns, who was a recipient of an EMACC Educational Foundation scholarship, will graduate with a Master’s of Arts Administration and Leadership from Georgian Court University in May.

Historical association to present Sept. 11 commemoration

he Monmouth County Historical Association (MCHA) has announced plans to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. Proposed exhibits and related programs will serve to honor the members of the Monmouth County community

who lost their lives that day, according to a press release from the historical association. In addition, the project will pay tribute to the strength and resiliency exhibited by the citizens of Monmouth County as they joined together to serve the nation, mourn and heal in the tragedy’s aftermath.

An exhibit will be staged at the Taylor-Butler House in Middletown from Sept. 11 through October. As part of this commemorative effort, the historical association is embarking on an open-ended effort to gather oral histories, documents and ephemera.

YOUR TURN

Will N.J. remain Garden State or become Warehouse State?

ew Jersey has long been known as the Garden State and keeping this title in the face of sprawl development is tough. Now the COVID-19 pandemic has indirectly added a new threat to this state we’re in’s nickname. Even before COVID-19, brick and mortar malls and shopping centers were in decline. But consumers in lockdown from the coronavirus found themselves shopping online for almost every item under the sun, available for home delivery. With this huge surge in e-commerce came the need for more warehouses and fulfillment centers to store, sort and distribute goods – and a lot more trucks to make deliveries. New Jersey is now in the midst of a warehouse construction tidal wave. The Port of New Jersey and New York is the nation’s second busiest. Giant container ships arrive regularly in Newark, Elizabeth and Bayonne, laden with goods to supply much of the East Coast. Everything in those shipping containers is going someplace. A spate of poorly sited warehouses are being proposed on productive farmland, environmentally sensitive areas and sites near residential neighborhoods. Aside from the loss of farmland and natural areas, the warehouses generate noise, traffic and air pollution from trucks. Here are just a few examples of warehouse projects around the state: • Upper Freehold Township, Monmouth County – A community group called the No Warehouse on 524 Coalition is opposing a plan to build a 566,840-square-foot warehouse on 118 acres of farmland along Route 524 — a project that would require a change in zoning. (Editor’s note: The applicant that proposed the warehouse in Upper Freehold Township withdrew the application from municipal consideration on April 16).

• Jackson, Ocean County – Several environmental groups came out against a proposal to build warehouses as part of the Adventure Crossing USA mixed use development project on Route 537. The warehouse component would require clearing 72 acres of forest; opponents say it will generate truck traffic on the edge of a residential area and increase runoff into the Barnegat Bay watershed.

sey Highlands Coalition, is rallying public support for limiting new warehouses. • Roxbury Township, Morris County – The Township Committee proposes to limit the size of warehouses in industrial districts, saying the move is necessary “to avoid excessive truck traffic on local roads and adverse effects on existing stressed intersections as well as on residential neighborhoods and the residential character of the township.”

• Robbinsville, Mercer County – Birders are objecting to a proposal to build two • Oldmans Township, Salem County – warehouses on a 90-acre property that at- A 366-acre project, with 3.9 million square tracts migratory birds, posfeet of warehouse space in sibly including threatened seven buildings, has been and endangered species.

“A regional perspective is needed,” Evans wrote, “to make sure port-oriented storage and distribution functions are not consuming outlying lands that are better used for farming, recreation, or some other non-industrial use, and that redevelopment opportunities near the port that are ideal for warehousing are not instead allocated to some other land use that lacks the same location constraints.” Somers “absolutely” agrees with the regional approach, both in the Highlands and elsewhere in the state. A regional approach would allow officials to consider larger impacts: Can existing roads handle the traffic? Would noise, traffic and air pollution affect residential neighborhoods? Can warehouse development be steered away from the most important lands, like prime farmland and forests? Somers pointed out that in response to numerous warehouse proposals, Warren County officials conducted a traffic study last fall on the cumulative impact. “If all were built, the impact would be dramatic,” she said. Route 519, currently a two-lane county road, “would have to become a four-lane highway.” Regional land use planning works well in New Jersey, with two successful examples in the Pinelands and Highlands. And New Jersey has a statewide land use plan that could address this issue. The State Plan has been largely dormant since its adoption in 2001, but should be revived and updated to address warehouse sprawl and other current challenges like solar facility siting and climate change.

Residents file to run for seats on Eatontown Borough Council By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer

EATONTOWN – Two Democrats and two Republicans are seeking their first three-year terms on the Eatontown Borough Council. The four candidates are running unopposed in the June 8 primary election. The terms currently held by Republican Joseph Olsavsky and Democrat Jasmine Story will be on the ballot in the Nov. 2 general election. Neither incumbent council member is seeking re-election and their

terms will end on Dec. 31. Seeking the available terms, according to information provided by the Monmouth County Clerk’s Office, are Democrats Coleen Burnett and Mariel Hufnagel, and Republicans David Gindi and Everett Lucas. Hufnagel ran in the 2020 Borough Council election and lost her bid for a seat on the governing body by a narrow margin. Burnett, Gindi and Lucas are making their first bids for seats on the Eatontown council.

The two candidates who are elected in November will serve terms that will run from Jan. 1, 2022 through Dec. 31, 2024. Any Eatontown resident who wants to run for Borough Council as an independent candidate has until June 8 to file a nominating petition and secure a place on the November general election ballot. Republicans took a 5-1 majority control of the previously all-Democratic council in January 2020 after a series of resignations by Democratic council members led to Republicans winning five available seats in

the 2019 municipal election. In the 2020 municipal election, Democrats picked up a seat and for 2021 the Republican majority on the council became 4-2. A victory for Democrats Burnett and Hufnagel in November will create a 3-3 split on the council in 2022. A victory for Republicans Gindi and Lucas in November will give the GOP a 5-1 majority on the council in 2022. The mayor’s office is held by independent Anthony Talerico.

Justin Theroux Takes A Spellbinding Adventure In ‘The Mosquito Coast’

ustin Theroux, Melissa George, Logan Polish and Gabriel Bateman lead the new series The Mosquito Coast, debuting on Apple TV+ April 30. The drama is based on the bestselling novel, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. Created and executive produced by award-winning novelist Neil Cross, the series is a gripping adventure and layered character drama that follows the dangerous journey of radical idealist and brilliant inventor Allie Fox (Theroux), who uproots his family for Mexico when they suddenly find themselves on the run from the U.S. government. Theroux is actually the nephew of Paul Theroux, who wrote the novel, which has also been adapted into a 1986 film starring Harrison Ford. So, in prepping to portray the main character, the actor naturally reached out to the person who would have the best insights.

Theroux says. “I absolutely called my Uncle Paul, you know, because it would be foolish not to sort of dip my cup into the well of the source material and the man who wrote it. “I also, sort of anecdotally, have an intimate knowledge of certain aspects of Allie Fox, because it’s our suspicion — or my suspicion, and it’s been corroborated — that it’s based loosely on certain members of our family, my grandfather, who had a certain thriftiness to him. So, yeah, I had several long conversations with Paul once I got the script, and I started preparing the character.” “I have a long history with the novel only insofar as that I read it when I was a kid. I was only probably, I don’t know, 12 or 13, when it came out. And there’s

been a movie made of it so I’ve obviously, seen many iterations of it. And this was just one of those happy accidents that the stars aligned and we were able to do it,”

American Water invests $5M in Tinton Falls, Eatontown infrastructure

ew Jersey American Water will replace approximately 7,000 feet of aging water main in Tinton Falls and Eatontown beginning the week of April 26. The project also includes replacing four fire hydrants and 34 utility owned service lines along the pipeline route, according to a press release from the company. The company will upgrade aging 6-inch and 8-inch cast iron water lines that were installed in the 1950s with new 24-inch ductile iron main along Tinton Avenue from Route 35 to Hope Road and along Hope Road from Tinton Avenue to Corregidor Road. The $5 million investment will continue to advance water service reliability and increase water flows for household consumption and fire protection in the community, according to the press release. The improvement is part of New Jersey American Water’s multimillion-dollar initiative to accelerate the renewal of water infrastructure that has reached the end of its useful life in more than 100 communi-

ties across the state. New Jersey American Water’s local contractor, Pioneer Pipe Contractors Inc., will begin work on or about April 26 and expects to be completed by the end of July, weather permitting. Work hours will be from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Some work on nights and weekends may be required to maintain the project schedule. Final street restorations will be completed in the fall, according to the press release. Traffic restrictions and/or alternating traffic patterns are likely to occur during work hours. All emergency vehicles and local traffic will be allowed access during construction. If an individual sees a crew performing work in his area and wishes to ask a question about what is taking place, he is encouraged to visit the website or the company’s Facebook or Twitter pages, or call customer service at 800-272-1325.

Bucs return to action after 2020 season lost to virus By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer

LITTLE SILVER – Time away from the baseball diamond last spring was a tough pill to swallow for Coach Nick Tucker and his Red Bank Regional High School players. The 2020 high school baseball season in New Jersey was cancelled by the coronavirus pandemic. “I just missed watching them play,” Tucker said this week. “I’ve never been without baseball this long in my life. I know I would be devastated if I was in their shoes and couldn’t play high school baseball.” After a lengthy wait to see his squad compete, Tucker enjoyed watching his players have fun playing their first scrimmage of the 2021 season on April 9 against Raritan High School of Hazlet. The seventh-year coach of the Buccaneers knew from speaking with his players how much it meant to them just to be able to play baseball. “Hearing what they had to go through as teenagers is something that makes you humble and know that just playing and

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA

2021 Subaru Forester Sport

f the 2021 Subaru Forester were a football player, it would most definitely be an all-purpose running back. You know, the kind of running back that could not only pick up some tough yards when needed, but could block and catch passes as well – a good all-around utilitarian player. For me that’s what the Subaru brand is all about. They provide you with a goodlooking, rugged crossover with a tried-andtrue four-wheel drive system able to perform well off-road or in the snow and mud. Inside Subaru ergonomics are designed for practicality so they work well there – they are generally comfortable and able to handle a good amount of cargo. Moreover, pricewise they won’t bust your wallet. So, all Peter Perrotta around, they check all the necessary boxes. I recently put the 2021 Subaru Forester Sport to the test for one week of driving adventure and came away with generally what I expected. The fifth generation Forester comes in five different trim levels: base, premium, Sport, Limited and Touring. I drove the Sport model for one week which came in an attractive Dark Blue Pearl color with orange trim accents in the interior. For the most part, this Forester is a joy to drive. It handles reasonably well in all kinds of weather. It has ample cargo space for a compact crossover. It’s comfortable and is fairly smooth to drive and its interior ergonomics are well designed and are fairly easy to operate. However, if you are looking for the “Wow” sizzle factor this may not be the crossover for you. While this Forester is well designed for many different functions, for me it’s a bit conservative in its approach. The editors at Car and Driver seem to concur. They gave the 2021 Forester high marks for being “thoroughly practical” and having a roomy interior and being a “comfortable cruiser.”

2021 Subaru Forester Sport

But, Car and Driver handed the Forester low marks for having “slow acceleration times” and “boring” exterior styling. It also said that the base model was “quite basic.” I didn’t find this Forester to be slow, though. Powered by a 2.5 liter Subaru boxer engine that puts out 182 horsepower at 176 pound feet of torque, this Forester is quick enough to handle most driving situations well. Now, this is not a performance-type vehicle – like a BMW X1 or X3 – but for what it is, I felt it was adequately powered and handled at an above average grade. Let’s be honest. The type of consumer a crossover like the Forester is going to attract is going to bring to the table a much different demographic than the BMW or Mercedes crowd. The Forester is for the active lifestyle

crowd who have a kid or two and a dog and want to go kayaking in the mountains on the weekend. For that, this is an excellent all-around vehicle and should be high on your list if that is what you are seeking. The Sport Forester I drove carries a base sticker price of $29,395. It also has an option package for $1,645 and a $1,050 charge for destination and delivery, so the bottom-line sticker price came in at $32,090. The option package included an upgraded Subaru Starlink 8-inch touch screen multi-media system and a 576-watt 9 speaker Harman/Kardon sound system. So, for the base price of $29,395 on the Sport Forester you get a ton of standard equipment. I think, for the money, the Forester offers a good value. The EPA fuel consumption ratings on

this Forester come in at 29 miles per gallon overall – 33 mpg in highway driving and 26 around town. The EPA estimates that it will cost you about $1,400 per year for run the Forester as it uses about 3.4 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. On the government’s 5-star safety ratings crash test, the Forester scored an impressive 5 out of 5 – the highest rank. It received a 5-star rating in the frontal crash test as well as the side crash test and 4 stars in the rollover test. The Forester scored a 6 out of 10 on the EPA’s fuel economy and greenhouse gas rating and a 6 out of 10 on the smog rating. Peter Perrotta’s On The Road column appears regularly.

Novenas

Prayer to St. Jude Oh Holy St. Jude, Apostle and Martyr, great in virtue and rich in miracles, near Kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor of all who invoke your special patronage in time of need, to you I have recourse from the depth of my heart and humbly beg to whom God has given such great power to come to my assistance. Help me in my present and urgent petition. In return, I promise to make your name known and cause you to be invoked. Say three Our Fathers, three Hail Marys and Glorias. Publication must be promised. St. Jude pray for us all who invoke your aid. Amen. This Novena has never been known to fail. This Novena must be said for 9 consecutive days. Thanks.

L.A.H.

Novenas

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN (Never known to fail). O most Beautiful Flower of Mt. Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh Star of the Sea, help me, and show me herein You are my Mother. Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech You from the bottom of my heart to succor me in my necessity (make request). There are none that can withstand Your power. O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee (3 times). Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands (3 times). Say this prayer for three consecutive days. You must publish it, and it will be granted to You.
