Two agencies open vaccination site at regional YMCA

he VNA of Central Jersey Community Health Centers (VNACJ CHCs) and the YMCA of Greater Monmouth County have teamed up to provide COVID-19 vaccines to eligible residents in Monmouth County. VNACJ CHC is now offering the COVID-19 Moderna vaccine at the Red Bank Family YMCA, in addition to testing for the coronavirus. It is the first satellite vaccination site in New Jersey, according to a press release from the two organizations. “We are honored to partner with the YMCA to expand our vaccine capacity. They have been incredible partners and gracious hosts as we work together to serve our Monmouth County residents,” said Chris Rinn, CEO of VNACJ CHCs. The collaboration with the YMCA makes sense at a time when the goal is to get as many people vaccinated as soon as possible, he noted. YMCA of Greater Monmouth County President and CEO Laurie Goganzer said the Red Bank Y has served as a safe testing location since May. “We are now one of several locations in the county where people in the community can come to get their COVID-19 vaccine. This is part of what we do, it is the embodiment of our longstanding commitment to the community, especially during the pandemic,” Goganzer said. Gov. Phil Murphy recently announced (Continued on page 8)

County marks completion of Route 34/537 improvements

he Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners has marked the completion of the state Route 34 and county Route 537 intersection improvement and bridge replacement project in Colts Neck. The official completion date was Jan. 14, according to a press release from the county. The project included the widening of Route 34, the widening of Route 537, the replacement of an existing traffic signal with state-of-the art technology, the replacement of a Route 537 bridge, the replacement of a Route 34 bridge and the installation of bio-retention basins, according to the press release. “The intersection improvement project at Route 34 and Route 537 set out to improve the safety and operations of the intersection as well as to decrease the use of local roads as alternate routes to avoid congestion,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone, liaison to the county’s Department of Public Works and Engineering. “Throughout construction the county worked closely with local businesses, including Delicious Orchards, Colts Neck Stillhouse and the Orchards at Colts Neck

REGIONAL INTEREST shopping plaza to minimize disruptions to their operations. “At some points, work was staggered on certain sections of the roads based on their business hours to keep their driveways open,” Arnone said. “For nearly two decades and throughout my time in public service at the municipal and county levels, I had the persistence of vision to bring this intersection improvement to the forefront of our priorities as elected officials and brought this essential project to fruition,” Commissioner Lillian G. Burry was quoted as saying in the press release. “For years, residents, business owners and motorists experienced lengthy delays and hazardous driving conditions at one of the busiest intersections in Monmouth County. The completed project has drastically altered how people travel in and through Colts Neck, especially during commuter peak hours,” she said. “As a resident of Colts Neck myself, I am personally gratified to see us reaching this significant milestone and I applaud our Monmouth County Department of Public

Works and Engineering and our partners on the state level for their tireless efforts to make this project a reality,” Burry said. The project was made possible through Monmouth County’s partnership with the New Jersey Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). As the intersection of Route 34 and Route 537 falls under the DOT’s jurisdiction, this project would have typically been run by the state. However, Monmouth County was given an opportunity to be the lead for this work so the project could advance. The project was completed almost entirely with federal aid grant and state aid Transportation Trust Fund (TTF) dollars under the DOT and county agreement, according to the press release. The state provided 75% and the county provided 25% of the total $23.3 million project cost. Of those costs, design totaled $1.5 million, right-of-way acquisition totaled $1.6 million, construction totaled $17.7 million and construction support and inspection to-

taled $2.5 million, according to the press release. The county share was $5.5 million. Of the $5.5 million, the county used $5.2 million from its state aid TTF allocations and $300,000 from county capital funds to pay for non-participating construction items. “The county kept in constant communication with the community, such as disclosing that temporary lane closures or reroutes went into effect, and made this a continuous priority,” Arnone said. The county assembled a project design team that included Greenman-Pedersen Inc., Amy Greene Environmental (a Davey Company), and Prestige Environmental. County officials awarded a construction contract for these improvements to Rencor Inc. of Somerville. In addition to Rencor, the construction team included Pantaleo Electric Inc., M.L. Ruberton Construction Co., Protec Documentation Services, Clean Earth Matters, LLC, LC Equipment Inc., the Vann Organization, ANS Consultants Inc. and Multifacet Inc. The construction inspection and administration design consultants included T&M Associates Inc., Amercom Inc. and GTS Consultants, according to the press release.

Contest celebrates family, loved ones during challenging times

ew Jersey Human Services has announced that teens from across the state can begin submitting entries for the 26th annual New Jersey Teen Media Contest, which highlights Human Services’ mission to support families. The contest, run by Human Services’ Division of Family Development, is open to all New Jersey middle school and high school age children. The contest will once again accept entries in the hand-painted/ hand-drawn and written word categories, according to a press release. The 2021 contest challenges teens to illustrate – through art or the written word – how they and their loved ones have supported each other through all of the changes that have happened this year, from remote schooling to finding new ways to stay con-

nected to friends and family. “These have been challenging times and so much has changed in the world around us,” Human Services Commissioner Carole Johnson was quoted as saying in a press release. “From spending time with our families and loved ones while socially distanced, to doing activities on a computer we usually do in-person, this year affected us all in many ways. With that in mind, we again look forward to the creativity of New Jersey teens and to celebrating their talents,” Johnson said. All entries must be postmarked no later than March 31. Staff from the Division of Family Development and its Office of Child Support Services will judge the contest.

Winners will be selected in first, second and third places in the middle school and high school groups, for each of the two entry categories. Typically, winning students are recognized at an awards ceremony in mid-May, but a final decision on an awards ceremony will be made at a later date based on the status of the public health emergency and related health and safety guidelines, according to the press release. Winning entries from the contest will be included in the 2022 Office of Child Support Calendar, as well as potentially being included as part of the office’s marketing materials. A number of honorable mention entries will also be selected for possible inclusion in both areas. The 2021 calendar can be viewed or

downloaded from the contest homepage, www.NJTeenMedia.org, to serve as inspiration for teens. The website also provides the official rules, frequently asked questions, entry forms, a look at the winners and honorable mentions from previous contests and other important contest information. Teachers and administrators can register their school by visiting www.NJTeenMedia.org or by contacting Matthew Cossel at 201-702-1667 or matthew.cossel@ efkgroup.com. School registration is not required for direct student entry.

A Q&A session follows the lecture. Dutch and English settlers brought the first enslaved people to New Jersey in the 17th Century. By the time of the Revolutionary War, slavery was an established practice on labor-intensive farms throughout what became known as the Garden State. The progenitor of the influential Morris family, Lewis Morris, brought Barbadian slaves to toil on his estate of Tinton Manor in Monmouth County. “Colonel Tye,” an escaped slave from Shrewsbury, joined the British “Ethiopian Regiment” during the Revolutionary War and led raids throughout the towns and villages near his former home. Charles Reeves and Hannah Van Clief married soon after their emancipation in 1850 and became prominent citizens in Lincroft, as did their next four generations. Rick Geffken is a trustee of the Shrewsbury Historical Society, past president of the Monmouth Connection, member of the Navesink Maritime Historical Association

Middletown South skates out to perfect start on the ice By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer

he first week of the 2021 ice hockey season was a perfect one for the Middletown School High School Eagles. After rolling to a 6-1 victory over Southern Regional High School of Manahawkin in its season opener on Jan. 19, Middletown South got right back on the ice at the Middletown Sports Complex on Jan. 20 to face off against the co-op team made up of players from Marlboro and Holmdel high schools. The first Shore Conference North Division showdown for the Eagles (2-0) worked out in their favor as they scored a 3-0 victory over Marlboro-Holmdel. “The guys were ready to go right from the start,” Middletown South Coach Andrew Rosenbloom said. “We couldn’t have had a better start. I’m just happy we are out here and playing games. To be out here and to see the guys is a sense of normalcy. To get two wins is just like a cherry on top,” the coach said. Middletown South and MarlboroHolmdel were scoreless in the final three minutes of the second period. The Eagles had controlled most of the action, but had trouble getting anything past goalie Dmitri Kapranov. Kapranov, who is a junior at Holmdel High School, made 19 saves in the first period and finished with 41 saves. Kapranov made 56 saves through the first two games for Marlboro-Holmdel. Middletown South finally scored with 2:45 to play in the second period as junior Luke Finn tapped in a goal, his second of the season, to put the Eagles up 1-0. “I had a lot of chances in the first period and I couldn’t bury them. In the second period when I put it in, it gave the team a confidence boost and we scored a couple goals from there,” Finn said. “The boys are doing really well right now and 2-0 is a great start.” Junior Michael Ferlanti was credited with the assist on Finn’s goal and helped set up the next Middletown South score with 8:26 left in the third period. After racing into the Marlboro-Holmdel zone to pick up a loose puck, Ferlanti sent a pass to the point where freshman Owen Oglevee fired it into the net for his first high school goal to put the Eagles up 2-0. After the Mustangs pulled their goalie, freshman Justin Ferlanti scored his first high school goal into an open net to complete the 3-0 victory.

Under the leadership of new coach Ben Bugge, the Mustangs are focused on building a new culture and standard of play in the program. Bugge believes his players are on the right track after the way they played in the first two games. Junior Ethan Gelman scored two goals and had an assist in the victory over Brick Township. Senior Andrew Kim and sophomore Mark Pellegrino both scored a goal and added an assist in the Mustangs’ season opening victory. “The coaching staff is really happy with how the kids are playing,” Bugge said. “It’s an awesome group of kids. The start of the season has been great. We are setting a new standard of Marlboro-Holmdel hockey. We know the kids are buying into it. We have big things we are expecting moving forward.”

especially for our vulnerable residents who are seeking the vaccine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, we had been receiving an extremely limited amount of vaccinations and have not been able to meet the demand due to the insufficient supply received from the state. We have been advocating tirelessly for more vaccines for Monmouth County since the beginning and we will continue to seek more vaccines,â&#x20AC;? Arnone said. Monmouth County was receiving 500 vaccines per week, but county officials were informed that beginning the week of Jan. 25, the county will receive 2,500 vaccines per week, according to a press release. Of the 2,500 vaccines, 2,000 vaccines will be administered at the Brookdale site over five days per week. The other

500 vaccines will be administered at the Monmouth County Agriculture Building in Freehold Township. All vaccines will be administered by appointment only. No walk-ins will be accepted, according to the press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Currently, in New Jersey, vaccines are available to healthcare personnel, longterm care residents and staff, first responders, individuals age 65 and older as well as individuals between the ages of 16 and 64 with medical conditions, as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which increase the risk of severe illness from the virus,â&#x20AC;? said Commissioner Deputy Director Susan M. Kiley. These conditions include: cancer; chronic kidney disease; COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease); Down syndrome; heart conditions (heart failure, coronary artery disease or cardiomyopathies); obesity; severe obesity; sickle cell disease; smoking; and Type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Individuals who are pregnant and those in an immunocompromised state (weakened immune system) from solid organ transplant are also eligible, but should follow CDC guidance and first discuss vaccination with their medical provider before receiving the vaccine, according to the press release. The Brookdale site will be open five days per week, including Saturday, and offer later hours on Monday. The hours, which are subject to change, will be as follows: Monday from 1-6 p.m.; Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon. The Freehold Township site will continue to operate five days per week, Monday through Friday, and the times will vary based on vaccine availability. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These hours are subject to change and likely will as the number of vaccines we receive and guidelines continue to change,â&#x20AC;? said Arnone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Initially, we will be scheduling individuals from the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waiting

list, which currently has more than 11,000 names on it, until our new registration system is ready to go live.â&#x20AC;? Residents who are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine can go to the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www.visitmonmouth.com and use the Monmouth County COVID-19 Vaccine Wait List to be placed on the wait list for an appointment for a vaccine. Those interested in volunteering can call the Monmouth County Health Department Phone Bank at 732-845-2070 or email MonmouthCOVID19@visitmonmouth.com The next phase to be vaccinated will be the remainder of the essential workers and the general population, according to the press release. Monmouth County officials do not know when the New Jersey Department of Health will allow for the next phase to begin receiving vaccines. For more information regarding the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phased approach, visit covid19. nj.gov

other conditions defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to the press release. Vaccines are offered at the Red Bank Family YMCA by appointment, Monday through Friday. Those who are eligible must register in advance at the VNA CHC website www.vnachc.org More than 600 people have already

been vaccinated at the Y since the program started in early January. Rinn said VNACJ CHC plans to increase the number of appointments and add more staff to meet the high demand. Typically, the vaccine process takes about 30 minutes. Guests check in at a registration desk and their information is verified. They then receive the vaccine in a large vaccination area and remain in observation for about 15 minutes, according to the press release. The governor has said individuals receiving the vaccine do not need to bring proof of illness, but they must register and meet the criteria. The vaccine is free for individuals who fit the criteria. The VNACJ CHC registration site does ask for insurance information in case they have to bill the patient. Individuals without insurance can still receive

the vaccine, according to the press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very happy to see another vaccination site open in Monmouth County,â&#x20AC;? said state Sen. Vin Gopal (D-Monmouth). â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Red Bank Family Y has always worked to help our community to the best of their abilities and I am very thankful they were kind enough to offer their space and work with the VNA to provide services to the residents of Monmouth County.â&#x20AC;? Red Bank Mayor Pasquale Menna was quoted in the press release saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are so thankful the Y and VNA are here in our community and that they continue to work together to support residents in Red Bank and across Monmouth County.â&#x20AC;? The Red Bank Family YMCA is at 166 Maple Ave., Red Bank. For more information about COVID-19 vaccinations or testing, visit the VNACJ website at www. vnachc.org

Jewish Heritage Museum to present 2021 virtual film festival

he Jewish Heritage Museum of Monmouth County will presents its 2021 Virtual Film Festival on Jan. 31, Feb. 1, 2, 28, March 1, 2, 21, 22, 23, and April 18, 19, 20. Admission is $10 per film or $35 for all four films. Individuals may watch a film at any time on the screening dates. For more information, call 732-252-6990. After an individual’s registration is processed by the museum, they will receive a link that is good for viewing the film(s) at any time between the dates mentioned above, according to a press release. Jan. 31, Feb. 1, 2 “The Keeper” tells the true story of Bert Trautman (David Kross), a German soldier and prisoner of war who, against a backdrop of British post-war protest and prejudice, secures the position of goalkeeper at Manchester City, and in doing so becomes a soccer icon. Struggling for acceptance by those who dismiss him as the enemy, Bert’s love for Margaret (Freya Mavor), an Englishwoman, carries him through and he wins over even his harshest opponents by winning the 1956 FA Cup Final, playing on with a broken neck to secure victory. But fate will soon twist the knife for Bert and Margaret when their love and loyalty to each other is put to the ultimate test. Feb. 28, March 1, 2 “Crescendo.” When world famous conductor Eduard Sporck (played by Peter Simonischek) accepts a job to help establish an Israeli-Palestinian youth orchestra, he steps into a firestorm of discord and mistrust. The two factions of young musicians have grown up in a state of conflict, with fear governing their perceptions of each other. With only three weeks of rehearsal, Sporck’s essential task becomes more in-

terpersonal than musical: can the children of conflict come together in harmony? Director Dror Zahavi brings us a gripping, clear-eyed drama imbued with hope for understanding, humanity and peace. March 21, 22, 23 “A Matter of Size,” a story of Herzl (Itzik Cohen), an overweight, underemployed chef living at home with his mother in the Israeli city of Ramla. Unable to find a job cooking, he becomes a dishwasher at a Japanese restaurant. One day he notices his coworkers watching sumo wrestling on TV. To Herzl, sumo is a revelation, an escape from the dictatorship of diets espoused by his weight-loss group. With three hefty pals in tow, Herzl decides to pursue the sport where his size is an asset. April 18, 19, 20 “Sacred Sperm.” Like so many parents, Ori Gruder was grappling with how to talk to his 10-year-old son about sex. Being a member of Israel’s ultra-Orthodox religious community, which tends to keep discussions of sexuality to a whisper, made the task even more difficult. So Gruder created “Sacred Sperm,” an hour-long documentary in which he tries to tackle the hard questions he can expect from his son. The film presents an intimate, informative and at times awkward look at the insular religious community and its approach to sexuality, fleshing out deeply entrenched taboos in the conservative society. The film series is sponsored in part by Gary Matoren, in memory of his daughter, Debbie Lynn Matoren, in honor of the Jewish Heritage Museum of Monmouth County, and the Jewish community in Monmouth County, according to the press release. For more information, call 732-2526990 or visit www.jhmomc.org

A series of virtual events geared exclusively for teenagers is offered on a regular basis by the Monmouth County Library. In February, a Trivia Night with rounds of questions focusing on books, movies, current events and sports will be offered for pre-teens between the ages of 7 and 12, but will be interesting and could be challenging for older teens. The Jeopardy-style night will be offered at 7 p.m. Feb. 17, according to a press release. For those interested in improving their SAT scores, math classes designed as a prep for the SATs will be offered Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 24 and March 31. Another idea is the “Day in the Life of a Quaranteen.” This is an opportunity for

teens who are creating service hours to earn one or two hours by using their talents in writing a song or prose. Teens can submit articles between now and August, be it an essay, poem, journal entry, song, or anything else personally written, that describes the teen’s life, thoughts and feelings during COVID-19. Entries will be judged according to the guidelines set for each and participants for this event must hold library card memberships. Two accepted submissions can be accepted from each participant. Visit www.monmouthcountylib.org/ teens to see the guidelines for each program.

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA

2021 Cadillac XT4 AWD

efore the foreign invasion of imported luxury automobiles into the American market, Cadillac once stood as the proud icon of success. If you were lucky enough to own one – big fins and all – it was a sign that you had made it (at least on the surface). Duke Snider, Hall of fame centerfielder for the Brooklyn Dodgers, once said, “My high salary for one season was $46,000 and a Cadillac.” On his 1964 Peter Perrotta football card, Jim Brown, perhaps the greatest running back ever, posed with his brand new, baby blue ’64 Caddy prominently placed in the background. A lot has changed, obviously, in the decades that followed. Nowadays, ball players rock out with their Mercedes Benz G63 AMG wagons with a price tag north of $150,000. Or, the just as expensive 8-series BMW M sport. This week I am reviewing the 2021 Cadillac XT4 AWD Premium Luxury small SUV with a price tag of $51,435. But, even in this segment of the market, Cadillac struggles to keep up with the foreign competition. Case in point, in its overview of the 2021 XT4, the editors at Car and Driver wrote: “Overall refinement (of the XT4) isn’t quite on the same level as its key rivals…the Audi Q3, the BMW X1 and the Mercedes Benz GLA.” I’m not sure if I completely agree with that assessment, but I point it out as testament to what Cadillac is up against these days. To be fair, I’m not sure that it’s even relevant to compare the XT4 to its Germanmade rivals. Why do I say this? Because the Q3, the X1 and the GLA are German imports that, for the most part, are engineered with the typical European-style ride to them, mixed in with some luxury accoutrements. They are more sporty than luxury styled and lend themselves to feeling the road underneath you as you drive them. The Cadillac XT4 – and most Caddys in general – are engineered completely opposite of that.

2020 Cadillac XT4 Premium Luxury

First introduced in 2019, the XT4 was designed to appeal to what those older ball players sought decades ago: luxury and comfort. On the outside the fairly new XT4 model is elegantly styled with a very angular but attractive stance. Moreover, the ride is not European, but American. The XT4 floats along quite nicely and comfortably either on the highway or around town. It’s roomy, easy to steer and navigate and has great eye appeal as well. I must admit, the one week I just spent test driving the 2021 XT4 AWD Premium Luxury SUV was thoroughly enjoyable and fun, as well. This SUV is very easy to drive, comfortable and its interior buttons, switches and infotainment system are easy to use and function quite nicely. I test drove the 2020 XT4 last year, but it seemed like I liked it a bit more when I drove it for the second time this year. In my second go-round with the XT4, the handling seemed more precise to me and the ride was not as squishy and more down to earth, which I liked. Powering the 2021 XT4 is a 2.0 liter,

turbo-charged, four cylinder engine that puts out 237 horsepower. It pairs with a nine-speed transmission and is offered in front or all wheel drive versions. This XT4 seemed amply powered to me. I did not zero to 60 time test it. But, the folks at Car and Driver had it clocked at 7.8 seconds for the zero to 60, which won’t win you too many Gran Prix races. The base price for the Premium Luxury model I drove is $42,295. However, my tester was loaded with option packages, which included: $2,500 for the comfort and technology package; $1,500 for embedded navigation and a 13-speaker Bose sound system; $1,500 for an enhanced visibility package; $1,100 for a driver assist package; $850 for a cold weather package; $625 for Garnet metallic paint and $470 for a driver awareness package. The comfort and technology package includes: eight-way power seats; heated and cooled seat with massage and lumbar; wireless phone charging. The enhanced visibility package that is available includes a rear camera mirror; parking assist; rear pedestrian alert and HD

surround vision. The EPA’s fuel economy ratings for the XT4 come in at 24 miles per gallon overall – with 29 miles per gallon for highway driving and 22 mpg around town. The EPA estimates that it will cost $2,050 a year in fuel to run this XT4 as it uses, on average, 4.2 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. In the government’s 5-star safety crash test ratings, the XT4 scored an impressive five stars on its overall vehicle score. It received five stars for the side crash test, four stars for the rollover test, five stars for the front driver’s side test and four stars for the front passenger side test. Overall, I feel the XT4 stacks up quite nicely when you compare it to the other competitors in this crowded small, luxury segment. If you are considering leasing or purchasing a small, luxury SUV or crossover, the XT4 should be one to have on your short list.
