obert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH), in partnership with Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, has established The PROUD Gender Center of New Jersey, a comprehensive, full suite of services specifically designed to address the transgender community’s health care needs. The PROUD Gender Center of New Jersey is the first of its kind in the state to offer a broad and comprehensive range of services and experts specializing in LGBTQ care in one central location. RWJUH and Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School held a dedication and grand opening of the center on Aug. 13. “This center represents what makes our academic medical center unique,” John J. Gantner, president and chief executive officer of RWJUH, said in a prepared statement. “Through our partnership with Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School we brought together a wide range of disciplines and subject experts into a comprehensive clinical program. This type of program is only available at a small number of elite institutions nationally.” “This is an historic time for the advancement LGBTQ and transgender rights in our state and nation,” Jackie Baras, LGBT program director and LGBT health navigator for RWJUH, said in the statement. “In many ways this center is a reflection of these historic times and a culmination of a vision of all partners on our academic medical campus to address the unique health care needs of this community with a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach in one central location.” “We are excited to partner with Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital on this groundbreaking effort,” Dr. Gloria Bachmann, professor of OB-GYN, medical director of the PROUD Gender Center of New Jersey at RWJUH and director of the Women’s Health Institute at Rutgers

Middlesex County relief grants to aid businesses impacted by COVID
T
o assist local small businesses during the coronavirus pandemic, Middlesex County is implementing a new round of funding in its CARES Act Small Business Relief Grant (MC-SBRG) program which utilizes federal CARES Act funding. These grants will serve to reimburse costs and loss of revenue associated with adopting business operations in a post-COVID-19 environment. The county intends to award a total of $30 million in grants for loss of revenue, expenses incurred, and/or continuation of services through this latest round of CARES Act Funds. This program will be administered by the Middlesex County Department of Finance. Beginning Aug. 17, those eligible to apply for grants can do so at the new CARES Act Small Business Relief Grants Portal. For more information, visit www.middlesexcountynj.gov/mcsbrg “The primary purpose of the MC-SBRG program is help the Middlesex County community respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The program is designed to target assistance to small businesses impacted by the pandemic,” Freeholder Director Ronald G. Rios said in a statement prepared by the Middlesex County Office of Communication. “The county is committed to helping our small business owners who are the lifeblood of our communities and our local economy.” Grants of up to $30,000 may be available. The individual grant amount will be based on application review on a first come first served basis. The application process will remain open until all funds are distributed. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed and will not be given consideration. An incomplete application is considered to be one that has not uploaded all requested documents or answered all required questions within the portal. “Since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, our local small businesses have been one of the hardest hit populations in our communities,” Freeholder Leslie Koppel, chair of the Finance Committee,
according to the statement. “We applaud our small business owners for the strength they have displayed throughout these difficult times. We are proud to offer support to our neighbors with the distribution of these CARES Act Small Business Relief Grants.” “As the state eases restrictions surrounding COVID-19 closures, our small businesses are continuing to struggle and feel the impacts that this global health pandemic has had in our own backyard,” Freeholder Deputy Director Kenneth Armwood, chair of the Business Innovation, Education and Opportunity Committee, said in the statement. “It is imperative now and moving forward that our community supports small businesses in any way they can.” All applicants must submit applications that meet the following criteria to be eligible for the grant: • Independently or family-owned businesses with no more than 50 employees • Documented business interruption as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related emergency declaration, resulting in financial loss. • Businesses must have been opened prior to Dec. 31, 2019, and operating on March 1, 2020 • Businesses deemed “non-essential” within the classification of “Businesses Required to Close” as per the Governor’s Executive Order No. 104, dated March 16, 2020 • Must be a Sole Proprietorship, LLC/ LLP, S-Corporation, Corporation, Nonprofit* or Partnership • Active businesses physically located in Middlesex County, with a net annual business income of less than $1,000,000 based on their 2019 federal tax return Non-profits only eligible for reimbursement of increased incurred expenses, not loss of revenue.

Middlesex County awards local small business grants
M
iddlesex County will award grants to 51 local businesses – a total of $1,200,450 – as part of the Small Business Grant program which utilizes federal Community Development Block Grant COVID-19 (CDBG-CV) CARES Act funding. The grants will be distributed in the forthcoming weeks to recipients negatively impacted by COVID-19. Recipients of this federal funding include restaurants, hair salons, retail, childcare facilities, healthcare offices, manufacturing, construction, auto repair shops, and many others, according to information provided by the Middlesex County Office of Communication. To be eligible for the grants, these businesses had to employ less than 10 employees, be located in one of the 19 municipalities covered under the county’s CDBG program, and hire or retain employees from low to moderate-income households. This economic development program was created under HUD (United States Department of Housing and Urban Development) guidelines and administered through the Middlesex County Department of Community Services. The overall goal of the program is to prepare, prevent, and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic in order to develop viable communities through the provision of housing, living environments, and the expansion of economic opportunities, particularly for those in low and moderate-income households, according to the statement. “COVID-19 has affected all aspects
of daily life, particularly our nation’s economy with small businesses impacted the most,” Middlesex County Freeholder Director Ronald G. Rios said in the statement. “During this challenging time, we’re proud to be able to assist a wide array of our county’s employers and workers to get them back on track.” CDBG-CV grants will be awarded to the following number of businesses, by municipality: • Carteret: 5 businesses • Cranbury: 2 businesses • Dunellen: 1 business • East Brunswick: 6 businesses • Helmetta: 1 business • Highland Park: 5 businesses • Jamesburg: 1 business • Metuchen: 6 businesses • Middlesex: 2 businesses • Monroe: 2 businesses • North Brunswick: 5 businesses • Piscataway: 3 businesses • South Amboy: 3 businesses • South Brunswick: 2 businesses • South Plainfield: 3 businesses • South River: 3 businesses • Spotswood: 1 business The CDBG-CV grant announcement was made official at the Aug. 6 meeting of the Middlesex County Board of Chosen Freeholders.

COMMUNITY BULLETIN BOARD CASA of Middlesex County will hold Toast 2020, which will honor John E. Harmon Sr., the founder, president and CEO of the African American Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey (AACCNJ). Toast 2020 is an opportunity to mingle with community leaders, enjoy a champagne brunch, participate in a silent auction and learn how Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) help children who have suffered abuse and/or neglect and are now in an out-of-home placement. The event is planned for 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Sept. 20 at Steakhouse 85, 85 Church St., New Brunswick. If necessary due to COVID-19, the event will be held virtually. Funds raised from Toast 2020 help to recruit, train and support volunteer advocates. CASA advocates go through exten-
sive training before they are paired with a child or sibling group and annual continued education to stay current on issues impacting children. Though state agencies ensure the child’s basic needs are met, CASAs are trained to gather well-being information and report to the family court judge to help a child thrive. Additionally during Toast 2020, the late William Hamilton, Jr., will be recognized for his contributions to CASA of Middlesex County as a board member, donor and friend. To purchase tickets, visit www.casaofmiddlesexcounty.org/Toast2020. To inquire about event sponsorships, ad journal opportunities and silent auction donations, email stephanie@casaofmiddlesexcounty. org.

Kendall Park native named alumni representative to MCC Board of Trustees
A
2020 graduate of Middlesex County College was named alumni representative to the Middlesex County College (MCC) Board of Trustees. Gabrielle McLean, of the Kendall Park section of South Brunswick, will serve a one-year term that ends June 30, 2021. McLean was a Liberal Arts/general major at MCC and is transferring to The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) this fall, where she will major in Psychology, with a minor in Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies; she is also considering a minor in Soci-
ology, according to information provided by MCC. She is planning to go to graduate school after earning a bachelor’s degree from TCNJ. “Right now, I’m unsure of my career plans, but I think this academic program provides a wide range of options,” she said in the statement. While at MCC, the Dean’s List student was president of the MCC Feminist Collective. She
was also a member of the MCC chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, the international honor society for two-year colleges; the Humanities Honor Society; and Psi Beta, the psychology honor society. She was also a staff writer and photographer for Quo Vadis, the school newspaper, and a tutor at the Learning Center. “My experience at MCC was great,” she said in the statement. “The professors were very help-
ful and supportive. I feel very well prepared for TCNJ.” While a member of Phi Theta Kappa, she got to know Sitwat Syed, who was the alumni representative to the board last year. “She helped me see what the role entailed, that I was there to provide the students’ perspective to the board,” McLean said in the statement. “Being able to contribute to MCC after I have left is a wonderful opportunity.”

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA
2020 Cadillac CT4
Y
ou always remember your first car. For me, it was a maroon 1965 Chevy Chevelle sedan. It was a hand-me-down from my dad. There wasn’t anything special about it. It wasn’t a Super Sport on anything like that. Just a plain Jane Chevelle. It had a straight six engine that burned oil and sounded like a ticking watch while idling. One day when I was headed to the shore, I pulled into one of those Piney Peter Perrotta gas stations on the Black Horse Pike with it and the almost toothless gas attendant started fawning over it. He wanted to buy it from me. I looked around his gas station and saw a graveyard of old American cars that he obviously had bought and was in the process of “hot rodding” or “souping up” – as we used to say. I politely declined his offer, but came away thinking that maybe this old Chevelle is something special after all. What happens to most of us, after that first car experience is that – if it’s a positive one – we tend to go back to that same brand or sometimes even that same exact car when it comes time to replace it. Car makers are keenly aware of this emotional attachment tendency in the car buying process. That’s why manufacturers and constantly on the prowl to create a successful “entry” level car to their brand. They know that if they can hook you on their cars at an early age then it’s a good bet you will stick with it. Enter the 2020 Cadillac CT4. A brand new entry into the Cadillac line up this year. The CT4 replaces the ATS and is slotted just below the CT5. Cadillac offers
this new sedan as a possible entry level purchase to its brand, hoping to attract first time buyers and compete with the luxury sedan entry level offerings from Audi, BMW and Mercedes. I recently spent one week behind the wheel of the new CT4 and came away quite impressed with this new offering, with some slight reservations. Cadillac offers the new, sleek looking CT4 in front wheel and all wheel drive in four different trim levels: luxury (starting at $33,990); Premium Luxury ($38,490); Sport ($39,590) and the V-Series ($45,490). The test car I drove for one week was the all wheel drive Premium Luxury model with the option upgraded 2.7 liter turbo engine. The first thing I noticed about this vehicle when the transport company dropped it off for me was how beautiful its exterior styling is. It really is a sharp looking and stylishly designed luxury sedan. The second thing I noticed was its paint job. This car is Garnet Metallic, which translates in the real world to an almost chocolately/brown color with a tint of cinnamon. It’s a stunning color and Cadillac must have gone out of its way to use a high quality metallic paint, because this car shined in the rain. The interior was appointed with a combination cinnamon and jet black leather. The exterior and interior combination makes for quite a handsome package. Cadillac offers two engine options for the new CT4. The base 2.0 liter turbo charged engine is standard. The powerplant puts out 237 horsepower. My tester had the upgraded 2.7 liter turbo charged engine that put out an impressive 325 horsepower. The standard automatic transmission with the 2.7 liter engine is a fairly smooth eight speed. My on the road experience with this new CT4 was quite positive. While it doesn’t afford the driver with the performance oriented drives of the Audi, BMW or Mercedes, this Cadillac has its own unique feel to it. This CT4 is quite nimble in the handling category, more than capable of pro-

viding an exciting driving feel through complicated twists and turns. It accelerates impressively – especially when you put it in the sport mode – as it is more than capable of making aggressive passes and getting you comfortably on to the interstate. What makes the ride of this Caddy unique is that while it manages to provide that nimble handling experience, it also affords a quite comfortable ride at the same time. It still exudes that luxurious Cadillac feel to it. The one area where I thought Cadillac could have done a bit better in is in the dashboard layout, design and composition. I thought the dashboard configuration and composition was just average. A little bit of an upgrade in this department will go a long way in making this vehicle a grand slam rather than just a one run homer. Added options to my tester included: $2,500 for the upgraded engine; $2,000 for the all wheel drive drivetrain; $1,700 for the navigation system and a Bose premium audit package; $1,200 for the driver assist

package; $1,200 for a climate package; $1,150 for a technology package; $800 for driver awareness package and $625 for that Garnet metallic paint. The EPA Department of Transportation gas mileage ratings for this new model are 23 miles per gallon overall – with 28 mpg on the highway and 20 mpg in city driving. The EPA estimates that the annual fuel cost of driving this CT4 is about $2,100,A as it uses 4.3 gallons of gas per every 1001 miles. m This model was not crash test rated by5 the government. p Overall, I would say that before you go8 running to lease or buy one of those fancy1 European import luxury sedans, give this1 Cadillac a chance. It just might surprise1 e you.

Jewish Federations train leaders Library on how to de-escalate violent acts
(Continued from page 1)
T
he Jewish Federation in the Heart of New Jersey, in partnership with Jewish Federations of Greater MetroWest and Northern NJ, presented H.A.R.M. (hostility, anger, and rage management) training for Jewish communal leaders on how to recognize, deter, and de-escalate hostile or violent acts directed at their organizations, people and facilities. The web-based training was attended by approximately 250 participants on July 28, including presidents and board members, rabbis, security directors, executive directors, administrators, education directors, and others from synagogues and Jewish schools, cultural centers, and community centers in more than ten counties throughout New Jersey – as well as local, state and federal law enforcement professionals, and Jewish Federation security directors from across the country, according to a prepared statement. Steven Crimando, an internationally known consultant and educator specializing in behavioral science applications in crisis management and emergency response, provided instruction in: • Recognizing and defusing acute anxiety, anger, and hostility • Pre-incident risk indicators of lone actor and homegrown violent extremists • Understanding hostile approach behaviors • Applying a three-step model to the management of fear and anxiety • Verbal and non-verbal de-escalation techniques • De-escalating groups and crowds In a special address, Jared M. Maples, director of the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness, expressed appreciation for Jewish Federations’ partnership in collective leadership securing our state not just through target hardening, but equally through education and training. Among his remarks, Maples emphasized New Jersey’s whole-state approach to transparency – tracking threats; calling them out; and sharing information between the public and private sector, religious organizations, and industry groups – to understand the nature of threats and more effectively dealing with them. He explained New Jersey is the only state to label white supremacy a top terror threat along with homegrown violent extremists, according to the statement. Jewish Federation in the Heart of NJ and its partner Federations work closely with Maples and the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness, as well as other law enforcement and public safety bodies, on a routine basis, to empower the Jewish and broader faith community amid rising anti-Semitism, bias in-
cidents, and security threats, according to the statement. “Jewish Federation in the Heart of New Jersey has recently brought more than a dozen security workshops to Jewish communal leaders as well as individual community members to make Jewish life in Monmouth and Greater Middlesex counties stronger and safer,” said Amy Keller, director of Security Initiatives at Jewish Federation in the Heart of New Jersey, according to the statement. Keller was joined by fellow security directors, Bob Wilson of Greater MetroWest and Jerry Dargan of Northern New Jersey, in producing and hosting the H.A.R.M. training. During the COVID-19 pandemic, for example, as bias incidents increased, Jewish Federation in the Heart of New Jersey joined other Federations across the state and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to connect Jewish organizations with guidance on bias incident awareness, facilitated by the U.S. Department of Justice. It featured presenters from the US Attorney’s Office for the District of NJ; NJ Office of the Attorney General, NJ Division of Criminal Justice; NJ Division on Civil Rights, NJ State Police; and NJ Bias Crime Officers Association. Throughout the pandemic, Federation has directly consulted with Jewish organizations and provided them with access to regionally- and nationally-recognized experts on topics ranging from cybersecurity required for virtual operations and security measures for unoccupied buildings to guidelines on applying for government security grants and considerations for returning to on-site operations, according to the statement. The work relating to security grants yielded another $1 million in government funds being awarded to Jewish organizations in Monmouth and Greater Middlesex – bringing the five-year total for the heart of New Jersey to $5 million for security enhancements. “Empowering our Jewish community amid rising anti-Semitism and security threats is central to Jewish Federation’s role,” said Susan Antman, executive director of Jewish Federation in the Heart of New Jersey, in the statement. “Our security initiatives, Security Task Force, and partnerships with the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness and many other public, private, and faith-based bodies help make our community stronger, safer, more supportive, and sustainable for all.” For more information, contact Keller at amyk@jewishheartnj.org or access resources from the NJ Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness at NJOHSP.org.
library seating, fax/scanning or printers/ copies. Another safety precaution for the public and staff is the installation of plexiglass partitions at each of the public service desks. The HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) has upgraded filtration to MERV 13 air filters, according to the statement. Book display tables have been set up in the main lobby to enhance social distant browsing, though visitors are welcome to cruise the book, movie and music aisles. All areas are open for browsing, except for the magazines/newspapers, and the Children’s Department books for the youngest readers and children’s non-fiction. Staff will be on hand to retrieve or suggest items from that department. SBPL’s Curbside Service, which in-
