embers of the Red Bank Borough Council have authorized the purchase of three police vehicles at a cost of $100,517. During a recent meeting, council members passed a resolution and authorized contracts with Winner Ford of Cherry Hill and Hertrich Fleet Services, Milford, Del., for the police vehicles. One 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe was purchased from Hertrich Fleet Services and two 2021 Ford Utility Interceptors were purchased from Winner Ford, according to the resolution. The Tahoe cost $37,293 and the Interceptors cost $31,612 each. In other business, the council members confirmed the appointment of Anthony Neibert as the borough’s part-time acting construction official. Neibert will be paid $75 per hour and may not exceed 25 hours per week. Neibert’s appointment was made following the resignation of Frederick Corcione as the construction official. Council members accepted Corcione’s resignation, effective Oct. 30. The council members confirmed the appointment of Robert Kelley as Red Bank’s part-time acting plumbing subcode

NJSIAA will delay start of winter sports due to pandemic
T
he New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association, the governing body for high school sports in the state, will delay the start of the 2020-21 winter sports season as coronavirus cases continue to surge in the Garden State. Winter high school sports were expected to start in two weeks. On Nov. 19, the NJSIAA announced that the winter sports season will be divided into three groups: Season 2, Season 3
and a newly added Season 2A. Ice hockey is the only winter sport that will be allowed to start preseason practices for the 2020-21 season prior to the end of 2020. Teams may begin preseason practice on Dec. 14 and may begin playing games on Jan. 4, according to a press release. Fencing, bowling, and girls and boys basketball teams will be permitted to start practice on Jan. 11 and begin regular season play on Jan. 26.
The new Season 2A will consist of swimming and winter track and field. Student-athletes who participate in those sports may begin practicing on Feb. 1 and may start participating in meets on Feb. 16. Wrestling has been pushed back to Season 3, joining gymnastics and girls volleyball in that time frame. Practices for Season 3 sports can start on March 1 and matches, games and com-
petitions are allowed to begin on March 16, according to the press release. NJSIAA administrators said postseason competition is still under consideration for all Season 3 sports (wrestling, gymnastics, girls volleyball), however, the association said it will not sponsor postseason competition for any other winter sports. Conferences around the state can hold

M
ore than one-third of New Jersey adults surveyed by the National Center for Health Statistics and Census Bureau from April 23 through July 21 (Phase 1) and Aug. 19 through Oct. 26 (Phase 2) reported symptoms of anxiety or depression resulting from COVID-19 related issues. With the pandemic showing no signs of abating and a fear of a drastic rise in cases this fall into winter, these figures are sure to increase. On the heels of a difficult election that has generated significant apprehension and taken an emotional toll on many New Jerseyans, along with seasonal affective disorder that can be caused from the end of Daylight Saving Time, access to mental health resources is more important than ever. As professionals in behavioral health, we at the Mental Health Association in New Jersey (MHANJ) know all too well that emotional difficulties resulting from this crisis may cause distress. For some, this may lead to poor decision-making, which in turn can cause people more serious emotional issues or result

Company develops rapid saliva-based test to detect COVID-19 By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer
A
new rapid saliva-based antigen test has been developed in Princeton as COVID-19 cases rise again across the United States. Created by RICOVR, the test named Xaliva will be a portable test that is able to detect the virus for businesses, state and federal agencies and school districts. Xaliva is a point of care (POC) test. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, POC tests provide results within minutes of the test being administered, which allows for rapid decisions about patient care. RICOVR has developed their device to have a detection time of between five and 10 minutes. “Anywhere where businesses have to have employees come in or any event that has to have people come in, this would be a POC for that. So [this is] mostly for businesses right now on a mass kind of scale,
and then maybe (available) to a consumer down the road, when we can scale the cost,” said Brett Felmey, vice president of sales for RICOVR. “Business to business (B2B), the total addressable market is any business in the world or event you are running that you need to know quickly if people are carrying COVID-19,” he said. RICOVR is going B2B because regulatory hurdles are not as high as they are for direct to consumer, he said. Piyush Sadana, the co-founder and chief operating officer of RICOVR, said as soon as the company gets approvals for direct to consumer, the test can be done at home. “For COVID, we are working expeditiously to get ready by December for B2B ... we will be ready to submit to FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) by December. “Currently, the EUA is prioritizing these rapid antigen tests and the processing time for approvals is four to six weeks,”

on the web: www.centraljersey.com
Sadana said. “So hopefully if everything goes well and we get approval in time, the test should be out there in early January. Five hundred thousand portable tests can be produced a month once we get approvals. Then we will scale up, naturally.” For testing purposes, there is a swab that is supplied for the user to collect a small amount of saliva. The user puts that into a syringe and squeezes the syringe onto a device sensor. A machine (reader) then reads out the amount of analyte (substance whose chemical constituents are being identified), in this case the saliva. For B2B initial cost, the single-use disposable cartridge will be under $10 and the device reader will be a one-time cost of about $500. The collection swab and cartridge reader strips are disposable kits that will come with the reader. “Our goal is to launch this with about 90% sensitivity. Right now we are in the lab setting and we are close to that, but the real test for sensitivity comes when you do expanded test and do additional sampling,
Crossword ................................................... 12 Editorials....................................................... 12
which is still to be done,” said Dr. Himanshu Bhatia, founder and CEO of RICOVR. After an individual inserts the sensor into the device, he will press the calibration button, which takes about two seconds to calibrate and has a specialized LED light shining through the sensor. The saliva that has been collected is then deposited onto a fiber, which is where the device can read the amount of what is being looked at for detection. “Our test is in the category of what is called an antigen test. An antigen is basically a protein component of the virus. The biggest difference (between this test) and other saliva tests for COVID is that you do not have to send a sample anywhere,” Bhatia said. “We have already signed letters of intent for north of 500,000 tests per month,” Sadana said. “Our research and development partner is in India and is the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM).

Graceland For Elvis Fans, All Roads Lead To The Golden Music Gates By David Cohea, ReMIND Magazine
I
t’s been 43 years since Elvis Presley passed, but there will always be a Graceland to welcome us to the place he called home. Located in Memphis, Tennessee, the over 10,000-square-foot mansion, which Presley bought in 1957 for $102,500, became his retreat from the clamor of stardom — a place where family was welcome (and stayed). The place is complete with the Jungle Room (a Polynesian-style haunt on the first floor complete with shag carpet on the floor and ceiling), a pool room, a TV room with three TVs, a separate building where his father Vernon managed his personal business, a trophy building stuffed with personal memorabilia, and a racquetball building. The Meditation Garden is where Elvis and many of

his family members are buried. When Elvis passed in 1977, mourners held a candlelight vigil outside the mansion and repeat the ceremony on every anniversary. Partially to help pay off mounting debts, Graceland opened to the public in 1982. The house remains
as Presley furnished it, but the property has been extensively expanded, with a 200,000-square-foot exhibit and entertainment complex titled Elvis Presley’s Memphis and the 450-room Guest House resort. The mansion is now the second most famous house in the United States (behind only the White House), with over 500,000 visitors a year. Visitors can experience home life as Elvis did, pose at the gate, have a moment of silence at the Meditation Garden, gawk at the impressive wall festooned with gold records, eat good Southern cooking at Vernon’s Smokehouse or classic American fare at Gladys’ Diner (named after Elvis’ parents), and leave a “love letter” on the graffiti wall. Graceland is also home to the world’s largest collection of Elvis memorabilia, with some 1.5 million artifacts and growing. The archives department has cataloged over 50,000 photographs, 3,000 textiles, thousands of documents, and a large collection of furniture, musical instruments, awards, automobiles and other artifacts associated with the personal life and career of Elvis. “Whether you’re an Elvis fan or a music historian, our archive truly allows you to get an appreciation for one of the most iconic entertainers of all time,” says Angie Marchese, Graceland’s vice president of archives and exhibits. Only about 25% of the collection is on display, including the King’s pink and white ’55 Cadillac, all of his gold records and a wide assortment of his trademark jumpsuits. There are also his two private planes: Hound Dog II and Lisa Marie, named after his daughter.
“Fans can literally immerse themselves into every stage of his life from the Presley family tree and the early years in Memphis to his time in the military and in Hollywood,” says Marchese. The highlight at Graceland is Elvis Week, an annual celebration of the movies, music and legacy of the King, normally held each August. The event is timed around the anniversary of Elvis’ passing, and includes appearances by celebrities and musicians, live concerts, panel discussions, parties and fan gatherings.There is also the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest and auctions of Elvis memorabilia, including the new Graceland Elite Auction, offering 30 to 40 of some of the most sought-after Elvis collectibles. It’s hard to see any other musician or celebrity accorded such recognition and celebration. “Elvis is widely considered by fans, historians and even his peers as the first true rock star,” says Marchese. “John Lennon himself once said, ‘Before Elvis, there was nothing.’ That continues to be the case today. You can’t recap musical history without including the highestselling artist of all time. “Elvis essentially paved the way for entertainers today —- not just musicians,” Marchese continues. “He was the first true icon, and his influence can still be seen in so many places.” Some legends grow their vast canopies over a fading memory — as anyone knows who still spins their Elvis LPs, or tends their Elvis shrine, or makes the pilgrimage to Graceland. At Graceland, the King will never die.
Why is Hallmark scheduling not viewer friendly? Question: I’ve noticed that the listings for Hallmark and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries aren’t corresponding with what the channels are now showing. Particularly that the HM&M movies, originally scheduled at 9/8c, are now listed on screen as airing at 10/9c. I am sorry to see that Hallmark is changing times, which is inconvenient in the Central time zone that has late news at 10 p.m./CT. Just wondering why the change and which one to believe. —John W Matt Roush: I consulted my in-house Hallmark expert to confirm this, and it’s true that while as in past years, it had been announced that the new Hallmark Channel movies and new Hallmark Movies & Mysteries movies were airing just an hour apart (Hallmark at 8/7c and HM&M at 9/8c), that has now changed to a 10 p.m./9c start date for the HM&M Christ-
mas originals. Nearly every year, I’ve fielded complaints from viewers about the overlap, having to choose between the last hour of one movie and the first hour of the second (from those unable to record both or either), and this move appears to be the logical fix, not to start one new movie until the other on the opposite channel has finished. An even more logical move, if you ask me, would have been to start one at 7/6c and the other at 9/8c, because staying up till midnight/ET to finish a Hallmark movie seems an awfully big ask.

Large majority of residents vote to eliminate run-off elections in Tinton Falls Managing Editor
TINTON FALLS – Run-off elections in municipal races in Tinton Falls will be eliminated after a majority of people who voted on a public question in the Nov. 3 election gave their nod of approval for that course of action. The question residents voted on asked “Shall the Borough of Tinton Falls abandon the holding of run-off elections as permitted by the ‘Uniform Nonpartisan Elections Law?’ “ As of Nov. 18, according to unofficial results posted online by the Monmouth County Clerk’s Office, 7,454 people (69.13%) had voted “yes” and 3,329 peo-
ple (30.87%) had voted “no” on the public question. The results of the election will not be official until they are certified. According to the county clerk’s website, as of Nov. 18, approximately 99% of election night mail-in ballots have been processed; approximately 53% of ADA machine ballots have been processed; and approximately 94% of provisional ballots have been processed. According to a municipal ordinance that placed the public question before voters on Nov. 3, at the present time, “the Tinton Falls charter requires ‘run-off elections to be held … if a sufficient number of candidates fail to attain a majority of votes’
(more than 50%) at the November general election. “Accordingly, a candidate must receive both the greatest number of votes and a majority of votes cast in order to be declared the winner. “If a candidate does not receive a majority of votes, then a separate run-off election would be held in early December between the municipal candidates who received the most votes in the general election,” according to the ordinance. In explaining the proposal to residents, municipal officials explained that a “yes” vote on the ballot question “would eliminate run-off elections in Tinton Falls, so a municipal candidate receiving the greatest
number of votes in the November general election would be declared the winner. “The elimination of runoff elections would result in a cost-savings for Tinton Falls taxpayers, who pay for most of the costs of a run-off election, and wouldW eliminate elections in December, whichF typically have lower turnout,” accordingK to municipal officials. Municipal officials explained that aa “no” vote on the ballot question “woulde maintain the current requirement of a run-7 off election. The primary benefit of a run-n off election is that candidates elected to office have received a clear majority (morer than 50%) of votes.” fi t

To make a reservation and receive the Zoom link, call 732-252-6990, email jhmomc@optonline. net or visit website at www.jhmomc.org Jewish women have played starring roles on the “silver screen” since the silent film era, according to a press release from the museum. In Kenrick’s presentation, viewers will follow that rich heritage from Theda Bara to Barbra Streisand to Gal Gadot, with film clips and behind the scenes stories, accord-
ing to the press release. Kenrick has worked in the theater at every level from amateur to Broadway, eventually serving as personal assistant to Tony Award winning producers, including the team behind the original production of “Rent,” according to the press release.

initial scale-up of manufacturing is happening in India, but we are actively talking to U.S. manufacturers to do the contract manufacturing here,” Sadana said.

postseason play at their own discretion, according to the press release. “We remain keenly focused on providing New Jersey’s student-athletes with the opportunity to participate in sports, and given current health data and modeling, we believe pushing the schedules back ensures the best opportunity for our kids,” NJSIAA COO Colleen Maguire said. “The hockey schedule remains unchanged due to contractual obligations with rinks and the potential for significant financial repercussions associated with rescheduling ice time,” Maguire said.

RICOVR was founded in 2018. The company has 10 full-time employees and consultants, and is continuing its work on developing the commercial use for the final product. “As a company we see expansion into different use capabilities for our devices. Overall, there is a lot of society impact our company can have from COVID to THC to other forms of screening,” Bhatia said. “The idea is to not only help these businesses, but to make a drastic change in how economies open up and how police screen for marijuana use.”

Each crossing guard will be paid $29 per day. Finally, the council appointed Ryan Hussey and Johnathan Munoz-Valente as Class I special law enforcement officers. They will work as parking enforcement officers and will be paid an hourly rate of $16, according to a resolution.

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA
2020 Toyota Highlander XLE V6
I
n 1958, Toyota opened its first American car dealership inside a former Rambler dealership in Hollywood. The Japanese importer sold a whopping 288 cars that year – mostly a failed vehicle called the Toyopet Crown that was way too heavy and miserably slow. But it wasn’t until 1965 when Toyota introduced the Corona Sedan that this Japanese auto maker really began to make inroads into the highly desired American market. Peter Perrotta While it was the Corona that knocked on the door of the American market it was the Corolla, introduced in 1968, that actually kicked it in – starting the Toyota worldwide expansion that at this point is a runaway freight train. By way of contrast, Toyota sold a modest 20,000 cars in the American market in 1966. Fast forward to last year, when Toyota – now widely recognized as the world’s largest auto maker – produced a mind boggling 10.4 million cars for the world market in one year. But a lot has changed along the way for the Japanese automaker. From its humble beginnings, Toyota initially made its bones by producing small, fuel efficient sedans that were known to be high quality, long lasting and durable. As of last count, Toyota now offers 18 different models at its typical American car dealership. Who would have ever envisioned after seeing that first little Corolla – now the biggest selling car in automotive history – that Toyota would someday be making something as large and fuel inefficient as the 229-inch long Tundra pickup truck that gets a whopping 15 miles a gallon from its massive 5.7 liter, V8 engine?
Or that they would have ever produced an 8-seat Sequoia SUV that’s 205 inches long and weighs a massive 6,025 pounds? Well, as Toyota infiltrated the American market, it changed its marketing strategy to provide Americans with the massive style SUVs and pickups they had been used to getting from the American car makers. I recently jumped behind the wheel of the 2020 Toyota Highlander XLE V6 AWD to see just how refined that Japanese automaker has become with its mid-sized SUV. Toyota made a lot of changes with the 2020 version of the Highlander, the fourth generation of this model. First off, it sports a fresh new sculpted, sporty and aggressive look and stance from the ground up. It measures about 2.4 inches longer than the 2019 model, adding space to the cargo area. It now offers two powertrains as well. The conventional 295 horsepower, 3.5 liter V6 and a 240 horsepower hybrid four cylinder. The model I test drove for one week was the 2020 Toyota Highlander XLE V6 AWD version that came in an attractive Moon Dust exterior color and a handsome sepia leather interior. The base sticker price of the model I drove is $41,200. With added options and $1,120 for destination and delivery, the bottom line sticker price comes in at $44,498. The added options included: $1,040 for the premium audio package that included an upgraded audio system as well as an 8-inch touch screen dynamic navigation system; $425 for the special exterior paint; $318 for carpeted floor mats and carpeted cargo mats; and $395 for paint protection film. I found my Highlander to be more attractive and aggressive looking than its predecessor. As far as interior room and comfort go, I feel it exceeds expectations. It has plenty of leg and head room and offers a smooth, comfortable ride. The interior ergonomics are solid, but not exceptional. Overall, this Highlander gets above av-
2020 Toyota Highlander XLE V6
erage grades all around for the total package it presents. The 3.5 liter, V6 engine gives it enough power so you can make aggressive lane changes on the interstate and cruise quite nicely at high speeds in the left lane on the Turnpike. Put more simply, it drives like you would expect a Toyota to drive. I don’t mean that in any sarcastic way either. It just has a sound overall good ride quality to it, without ever providing you with that tremendous “wow” feeling. Because, in reality, that’s not what Toyota is all about. It’s akin to buying a box of Kellogg’s Cornflakes at ShopRite. You know what to expect before you open the box. Chances are you won’t be disappointed, nor will you be blown away once you take that first bite. Toyota plays it safe all around, so you know what to expect from the moment you step into the cabin. As far as the EPA fuel consumption ratings go, this Highlander gets an overall 23 miles per gallon in gas mileage – 27 mpg on the highway and 20 mpg in city driving.
NEWS BRIEFS United Methodist Communities, a New Jersey based senior living and care organization, announced the appointment of Cindy Jacques of Shrewsbury, vice president of housing and community initiatives, to a three-year term on the board of LeadingAge New Jersey and Delaware.
As the board liaison to the association’s Housing Managers Roundtable, Jacques will support their goals to advance policies, promote practices and conduct research that supports, enables and empowers people to live fully as they age. Jacques is a Certified Assisted Liv-
ing Administrator (CALA) and Certified Social Worker (CSW) with more than 25 years of experience in senior care, housing and social work. She has been an associate of United Methodist Communities since 2000.
The EPA estimates that it will cost on average about $1,750 per year in gas to run the Highlander as it uses about 4.3 gallons of gas for every 100 miles driven. The new model Highlander has not been given the government’s five star safety crash test rating yet. The 2020 Highlander comes standard with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Sirius XM, Waze and Amazon Alexa compatibility. There are six different trim levels: the base LE; LE Plus; Limited; Platinum; SE and XLE. Peter Perrotta’s On The Road column appears regularly. He may be contacted at peter@capitalmotorcars.com
