Brookdale, Rider University officials announce agreement
A
dministrators at Brookdale Community College, Lincroft, recently signed a new program-to-program transfer agreement with Rider University, Lawrenceville. The agreement facilitates the transfer of credits toward a bachelor’s degree at Rider. It also provides guaranteed admission for Brookdale students who earn an associate’s degree into five additional Rider programs, according to a press release. “Our partnership with Rider University continues to enhance our mission to provide high-quality and affordable educational pathways for our students,” Brookdale President David Stout was quoted as saying in the press release. The five new programs are popular music studies (general track), theater (with concentrations in technical theater and acting), game and interactive media design, and computer science. With this new agreement, 35 programs at Brookdale are now guaranteed to transfer to Rider, according to the press release.
“The transfer agreement with Rider University awards Brookdale students several advantages, including a waiver of application fees, generous academic scholarships, guaranteed admission and individualized support throughout the transfer process,” said Sarah McElroy, executive director of career and transfer pathways at Brookdale. “We are pleased to strengthen our relationship with Brookdale and extend partnerships that provide real benefits for students pursuing their education,” Rider University President Gregory G. Dell’Omo said. Brookdale maintains formal partnerships with more than 35 other colleges and universities, as well as close ties and pathway partnerships with other institutions throughout New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Delaware, according to the press release. Brookdale Community College is the county college of Monmouth County.
Red Bank Regional will have remote learning during first week in January By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer
S
tudents who attend Red Bank Regional High School, Little Silver, had returned to a hybrid model of inperson and remote instruction as of Dec. 17, but are scheduled to switch to a fully remote model of instruction during the first week of January. On Dec. 10, Red Bank Regional High School District Superintendent of Schools Louis Moore announced that students would be able to physically return to the high school in the hybrid model of instruction on Dec. 14. Students of the school district, which serves residents of Red Bank, Shrewsbury Borough and Little Silver, had been receiving fully remote instruction since Nov. 25. During the 2020-21 school year, be-
cause of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many Red Bank Regional students had been receiving their education in a hybrid model that combines in-person instruction several days a week and remote instruction. Some students have only been receiving remote instruction if their parents selected that option at the beginning of the school year. The district shifted to fully remote instruction in late November due to an increase in the number of coronavirus cases in the district’s three municipalities, according to Moore. “Unfortunately, the rate of transmission of COVID-19 in our area continues to be at a high level,” Moore said in a Dec. 2

Officials rebuke senator’s delay in passing bill that protects judges By JENNIFER AMATO Managing Editor
F
ederal legislation crafted in response to the targeted attack on U.S. District Judge Esther Salas’s family has not received unanimous support from members of the U.S. Senate. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul objected to the legislation on Dec. 16 and asked for the bill to extend the same privacy protections proposed for appointed federal judges to elected members of Congress. The Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act of 2020 is named for Daniel Anderl, the 20-year-old son of Salas who was killed at their North Brunswick home on July 19. He was a 2018 graduate of Saint Joseph High School in Metuchen. Salas’ husband, Mark Anderl, who is a criminal defense attorney, was seriously injured in the attack carried out by suspect Roy Den Hollander, who posed as a FedEx delivery driver before ambushing the home. Den Hollander allegedly targeted the family because of his disdain for Salas and her role as a federal judge, according to reports. Identified by authorities as a “men’s rights” attorney, he had previously argued a case before Salas and used publicly available information to create a dossier on the
judge, according to reports. Den Hollander was later found dead by suicide, according to authorities. Salas has since made personal, public pleas for greater privacy protections for federal judges. “My husband, Mark, and I would like to thank Gov. Murphy and all the men and women of the New Jersey State Legislature for enacting this trailblazing legislation,” Salas said in a statement on Nov. 20. “We hope this law can be a steppingstone to improving the security of my sisters and brothers who serve as federal judges throughout the country. Nobody should be forced to endure the kind of pain my family has experienced ever again. “Together we can work to ensure that all members of the judiciary (federal, state and municipal courts) can perform their duties without fear of retribution or harm. Daniel used to say, ‘Mom, I love talking with you.’ I know Daniel is listening now and he is smiling down on us today because he knows that with this (New Jersey) bill signing, we are doing our part to ensure that his death will not be in vain,” Salas said. The federal Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act of 2020 would shield the personally identifiable informa-

tion of federal judges and their immediate family who share their residence, including home addresses, Social Security numbers, contact information, home or other address displayed on property tax records, vehicle information, photos of their vehicle and home, and the name of the schools and employers of their immediate family members. The legislation establishes guidelines for federal agencies and commercial data collectors to create safeguards to protect the personal information of active, senior, recalled or retired federal judges and their immediate family. The legislation would also authorize the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (AO) to monitor and assess online threats, analyze complaints and address acts of aggression and violations, and authorize funding for the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) to expand its current capabilities. It would also provide funding to states in the form of grants to enforce the prevention of data brokers from selling or trading personal information. “I promised Judge Salas her son’s death would not be in vain, and we may not have achieved it tonight with (New Jersey) Sen. (Cory) Booker, but we will make this happen, hopefully sooner rather than later, but we are going to make this happen,” New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, who recommended Salas to President Barack Obama for appointment to the federal bench in December 2010, said in a prepared statement after the Dec. 16 Senate hearing. Salas sits on the bench in the District of New Jersey, Newark. “America’s federal judges must be able to render rulings without fearing for their lives or the lives of their loved ones. We must better protect federal judges’ personal information from those who would seek to do them harm. That’s exactly what the Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act of 2020 will do,” Menendez said in the statement. After the attack on the Anderl-Salas family, Menendez and Booker pledged to draft legislation to better protect federal judges and their families. They unveiled the legislation in September, standing outside Newark Federal Court, and worked with the judiciary to address its concerns and to incorporate many of its guiding principles into the final bill, according to the statement. The congressional sponsors are also U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill and co-sponsor U.S. Rep. Andy Kim, both of New Jersey. “This legislation is about standing up for the independence of our federal judiciary and the safety of all those who serve it,” Menendez said in the statement, requesting unanimous consent on Dec. 16. “This is a
common sense bill. It will save lives and I urge my colleagues to approve it without delay.” Earlier in the week, New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal led a national, bipartisan coalition of 51 Attorneys General in sending a letter to Congress urging passage of the proposed legislation. Because of the large number of Attorneys General who signed the letter, the legislation is receiving the formal endorsement of the National Association of Attorneys General, according to a statement provided by Grewal’s office on Dec. 14. “Now more than ever, we need to protect public servants from threats and violence targeted at them simply for doing their jobs,” Grewal said in the statement. “Nobody should suffer that kind of abuse, let alone the kind of pain inflicted on Judge Salas and her family. I hope the federal government will join New Jersey in taking action to ensure that members of the judiciary can perform their constitutional duties without fear.” During the Dec. 16 Senate hearing, Paul said he reserved the right to object to unanimous support because although he agrees judges need federal protection, he has been active in the issue of affording the same protection to members of Congress for the past few years. “I really think this is important that we protect addresses for our judges, but it’s also important we do (the same) for our elected officials,” Paul said, citing the shooting of former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords and 18 others while the Congresswoman was meeting with constituents in 2011, and the shooting of U.S. House Majority Whip Steve Scalise during practice for a charity baseball game in 2017. Paul said those incidents “should have been a wake-up call” to better protect members of Congress and the people around them. The senator said his amendment to the Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act of 2020 is minor and does not lessen anything about the proposed legislation. Paul said he prefers to make simple changes such as extending protections to the legislative branch and preventing personally identifiable information from being sold online by data brokers. Other members of Paul’s caucus were not in favor of additional funds for the U.S. Marshall’s Service. The North Brunswick mayor and council adopted a resolution on Dec. 17 rebuking Paul’s blockage of the bill.

Tinton Falls schools resume in-person instruction
By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer
S
tudents in the Tinton Falls K-8 School District have physically returned to school in a hybrid model of in-person and remote instruction. Dec. 14 marked the physical return of students, according to Superintendent of Schools Lisa Goldey. Students of the school district, which serves residents of Tinton Falls and Shrewsbury Township, had been receiving fully remote instruction since Nov. 23. During the 2020-21 school year, because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many students have received their
education in a hybrid model that combines in-person instruction several days a week and remote instruction on the remaining days of the week. Some students have only been receiving remote instruction if their parents selected that option at the beginning of the school year. According to a Dec. 2 letter from Goldey, pre-kindergarten through fifth grade pupils would physically return by Dec. 7. The remaining middle school students would return by Dec. 14. “I know this news will be received differently by our community,” the superintendent wrote. “Some may find this deci-
sion counter-intuitive with the continued uptick (in positive coronavirus tests). “However, I am relying on health professionals’ recommendations and I know our students need to be in-person as much as possible. There has been no in-school spread (of the virus) to date. These decisions are never made in isolation. They are made after considerable consultation and collaboration.” Goldey said the district could return to fully remote instruction if there are schoolbased transmissions or if the COVID Regional Risk Assessment deems Monmouth County and/or the state to have the highest possible risk for the virus. Currently, the

Through the contract, the MCSPCA will provide daily animal control services to Tinton Falls and a facility where stray animals that have been picked up or injured will be kept. And, the Tinton Falls council members authorized the execution of a deed of an open space easement to Monmouth County for a 59-acre parcel on Thresher Court. According to a resolution, the property
on Thresher Court has park, recreation and open space values which municipal officials want to be preserved in perpetuity. By conveying an open space easement to Monmouth County, the property will be retained forever for park, recreation and open space uses. Any proposed use that would significantly impair or interfere with the park, open space and recreation will be prevented from occurring at that location, according to the resolution.

What is so valuable about New Jersey’s forests?
I
n the not-so-distant past, the value of forests was based on the timber generated from logging. Forests without commercial timber potential were thought to be nearly worthless. Today, much more is known about forest values. Forests are considered priceless for providing wildlife habitat and many “ecosystem services,” including filtering impurities from the air and water, absorbing and storing carbon from the atmosphere, and soaking up flood waters. Forests are also valuable for recreation and their cooling effect in summer. A new State Forest Action Plan produced by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection examines the value of the Garden State’s forests and the many threats they face – most prominently the impacts of a warming climate. The plan proposes a number of actions to protect New Jersey’s forests, which collectively cover about two million acres of this state we’re in. “In the past, forest managers looked at forests through a narrow lens … Timber value is no longer an important forest attribute for many New Jersey residents,” State Forester John Sacco explains in the plan’s introduction. “This land works hard for our nine million residents, providing clean water, much-needed recreation, wildlife and rare plant habitat and jobs,” Sacco added. “Our urban forests keep cities cooler in summer, filter air and water pollution and make our neighborhoods attractive places to live. “Our forests fix enough atmospheric CO2 (carbon dioxide) each year to offset the annual CO2 emissions of Newark, our
largest city. They are the front line in our but now atmospheric carbon sources.” fight against climate change.” The forest plan suggests several acThe State Forest Action Plan is a 10- tions, including: year strategic plan required under the fed• Conserving our forests’ biological dieral Farm Bill for New Jersey to be eligible versity; for federal forest stewardship funding. • Maintaining the health and vitality of Much hard work has gone into the action forest ecosystems; plan, which contains substantial informa• Conserving and maintaining soil and tion not found in previous plans. water resources of our forests; The federal forestry program has three • Maintaining forest contributions to priorities: protecting forests from threats; global carbon cycles. enhancing public benefits from trees and The forest plan notes that the Earth’s forests; and conserving warming climate is changand managing working New Jersey’s forests.

how carbon is captured and stored over time throughout the forest above or below ground, in wood and roots, and in soil and leaves. Many new studies, synthesized in the publication “Wild Carbon,” point to conserving undisturbed forests as the best strategy for sequestering carbon as part of the battle to slow climate change. The draft State Forest Action Plan mentions the Sourlands region of central New Jersey as one place where proforestation should be considered, but emerging science suggests this strategy should play a much larger role in many of New Jersey’s older, maturing forests. Protecting sequestered carbon by fostering the eventual re-establishment of old growth forest areas on our public lands can even create a New Jersey “carbon market.” As part of our response to global warming, forest trees may be far more valuable being left to grow old than anyone ever dreamed.

Red Bank man sentenced for role in patient brokering, bribery scheme
A
Red Bank man has been sentenced to 13 months in prison for participating in a conspiracy to defraud health insurance companies through a multi-state patient brokering scheme in which he bribed drug-addicted individuals to enroll in drug rehabilitation in exchange for referral fees from the rehabilitation centers, U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito announced on Dec. 15. Peter J. Costas, 27, previously pleaded guilty by teleconference before U.S. District Judge Peter G. Sheridan to an information charging him with one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud. Sheridan imposed the sentence by video conference on Dec. 15, Carpenito said. According to documents filed in the case and statements made in court, Costas helped orchestrate a scheme in New Jersey, California and other states that involved bribing individuals who were addicted to heroin and other drugs to enter into drug rehabilitation centers so Costas and his conspirators could generate referral fees from those facilities. Costas worked with several marketing companies to carry out the scheme, but one marketing company in California run by Costas’s conspirators was pivotal. The marketing company maintained contractual relationships with drug treatment facilities around the country. Costas was engaged by the marketing company to recruit potential patients, who were addicted to heroin or other drugs and who had robust private health insurance, from New Jersey and other states. To convince drug-addicted individuals to travel to and enroll in rehabilitation when they otherwise would not have, Costas offered to bribe them – often as much as several thousand dollars. Once the individuals agreed to enroll in drug rehabilitation in exchange for the offered bribe, Costas and the owners of the marketing company would arrange and pay for cross-country travel to the drug
treatment centers in California and other states. Costas would stay in touch with the New Jersey patients at the facilities and specifically instruct them to stay at the facilities long enough to generate referral payments. Costas and the marketing company often directed patients to different rehabilitation facilities month after month to generate multiple referral payments without regard to whether the substance abuse treatment was medically necessary or effective. In a conversation over Facebook, one patient told Costas that if Costas made good on his promise to pay the patient a bribe, the patient would enroll in additional facilities to trigger additional referral payments and bribes: “[J]ust get us [sic] grab the dough and put us in another place. . . . Get paid some more feel me. . . . I’ll keep this up all year wit[h] you. As long as you do us right.” When the patient later expressed doubt that Costas would pay the bribe, Costas responded, “Don’t worry … I do this with SO MANY PPL [people].” Costas and the marketing company sent patients to facilities in California and other states that they knew provided ineffective drug treatment or actually fostered drug use on their premises. The facilities typically paid the marketing company a fee of $5,000 to $10,000 per patient referral, and Costas and other brokers received approximately half that amount for each patient they brokered. During the scheme, Costas brokered dozens of patients on behalf of marketing companies around the country and the conspiracy caused millions of dollars of losses for health insurers. In addition to the prison term, Sheridan sentenced Costas to three years of supervised release and ordered him to pay restitution of $502,208, Carpenito said.

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA
2021 Nissan Rogue SL AWD
I
find most television car commercials to be almost fairy tale like, especially around holiday time. I mean, who really gets a new car for Christmas, or whichever holiday you happen to celebrate? However, the commercial for the newly redesigned 2021 Nissan Rogue breaks the mold a bit. It features a family driving the Rogue who can’t decide what they want to do: go to the mountains, offPeter Perrotta road adventuring, drive in the snow or simply just go to the movies. Of course, it’s a good thing they have their new Rogue because with the all wheel drive model five drive modes are now available: off-road, snow, standard, eco and sport. All you have to do is engage the drive-mode selector mounted on the center console and off you go. Well, does life imitate commercials or is the commercial imitating life here? I will leave that one to the philosophers in the crowd. But, I would have to say that after driving the new 2021 Nissan Rogue SL AWD for one week recently, I really enjoyed the new look and feel of the Rogue, and especially had fun playing with drive mode selector choosing what style I wanted to drive in on any particular day. Nissan really went back to the drawing board in doing this redesign of its biggest selling model and gave the Rouge a muchneeded makeover from the ground up, inside and out. The previous generation Rogue, while popular, suffered from what I would call “ho-hum-ness”. For most people, it was an OK compact SUV that could get the job done but didn’t offer anything overwhelming that would make it stand out in the crowd. The new Rogue offers more attractive styling – featuring a bit shorter and lower stance. It has a boxier, more rugged or sporty design. The interior has been upgraded with more up-to-date ergonomics and the 2.5 liter four cylinder engine gets a power boost to 181 horsepower.
2021 Nissan Rogue SL AWD
Moreover, the chassis and ride quality were also upgraded giving it more adept ride and handling capabilities. “The all new Rogue was purposely designed to meet all the needs of today’s young families,” says Mike Colleran, senior vice president, Nissan U.S. Marketing and Sales. “Rogue is playing to win in the midsize crossover game with the ideal mix of expressive design, advanced technology, safety, comfort and versatility,” Colleran said. The editors at Car and Driver seem to think the new design is an overall winner. “Historically, the Rogue has sold well against segment leaders such as Honda CRV, Mazda CX-5 and Volkswagen Tiguan,” writes Car and Driver. “But, it wasn’t as good overall, languishing far down in our rankings. With this redesign, Nissan’s money maker turns up the charm in an attempt to shake off its history of mediocrity. We think they have been relatively successful (with the redesign).”
I would have to agree. After driving this new Rogue for one week, I found it to be attractive – inside and out – comfortable, peppy with enough new pizzazz to lift it out of the ho-hum category into a serious segment contender. The model I drove – the SL AWD – carries a base price of $33,400. My tester added premium paint as an option for $395, $385 for a floor mat and cargo area protection package and $1,095 for destination and handling. The bottom line sticker price on my tester came in at $35,275. The Rogue is also available in the base model S (starting at $26.745), SV ($28,425) and Platinum ($36,525). The fuel economy ratings for the new Rogue have not been released, but Nissan claims the fuel economy has been improved slightly to 29 miles per gallon overall for the all wheel drive model and up to 30 mpg for the front wheel drive Rogues. According to Car and Driver, on their 200 mile highway test drive, the new Rogue got an impressive 32 miles per gallon.
The new Rogue is the first Nissan to feature the Japanese auto maker’s Nissan Safety Shield 360 technology. This new technology package includes: automatic emergency braking with pedestrian protection; blind spot warning; rear cross traffic alert; lane departure warning; high beam assist; and rear automatic braking. Also new in this Rogue is something Nissan calls its Vehicle Motion Control. This feature works in conjunction with its four wheel drive system and drive mode selector to provide a smoother more secure ride by making adjustments depending on the driver’s driving style and road conditions. Overall, the newly designed Rogue is worth checking out if you are considering purchasing or leasing a compact to midsized SUV or crossover.
