Middlesex College is mostly remote, but students in the garde manger class learned the fundamentals of ice carving behind the College Center in Edison. The class used chainsaws to mold large blocks of ice and then chisels to create the details. Garde manger, which teaches students the art of cold food presentation, is taught by John Shirley, who is also executive chef at Unidine, which provides dining services for corporations, hospitals and senior centers.

Sayreville welcomes new recreation director By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer
A
new director of recreation has been named in Sayreville. During the Borough Council’s April 12 meeting, Brian Van Dongen was announced as the newest director of the Sayreville Recreation Department. He will
begin serving in this position on May 3. The appointment of Van Dongen was announced by Councilman Damon Enriquez, who is the council liaison to the Recreation Advisory Commission. “[Van Dongen] comes with a wealth of experience,” Enriquez said. He was an assistant director in two other towns and it looks like he’s going to be a good fit for
our town. I can’t wait to get him started.” Mayor Victoria Kilpatrick also spoke highly of Van Dongen’s hiring. The 2015-2016 Membership Directory of the New Jersey Recreation & Park Association identifies that Van Dongen previously served as the recreation (Continued on page 7)

She fills the seat left vacant after the sudden passing of Deputy Director Kenneth Armwood on March 29. A resident of Piscataway for more than 40 years, McCullum has served on the Piscataway Township Council since April 2013, when she was appointed to fill thenCouncilman Armwood’s seat when he left to join the Board of County Commissioners, according to information provided by the Middlesex County Office of Communication.

During her time on the Piscataway Township Council, McCullum served two terms as council president and championed issues pertaining to wellness and healthy living, including founding a free annual Walk for Your Health event in Piscataway’s Johnson Park, according to the statement. “On behalf of the entire Board of County Commissioners, I am pleased to welcome County Commissioner McCullum to the board,” Middlesex County Commissioner Director Ronald G. Rios said in the statement. “The loss of Deputy Director Armwood, a dedicated public servant and wonderful human, is a tragedy for all of us – both personally and professionally. Deputy Director Armwood left big shoes to fill, but I am certain that County Commissioner McCullum is up to the task. She joins the Board of County Commissioners with her own impressive record of public

Justin Theroux Takes A Spellbinding Adventure In ‘The Mosquito Coast’
J
ustin Theroux, Melissa George, Logan Polish and Gabriel Bateman lead the new series The Mosquito Coast, debuting on Apple TV+ April 30. The drama is based on the bestselling novel, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. Created and executive produced by award-winning novelist Neil Cross, the series is a gripping adventure and layered character drama that follows the dangerous journey of radical idealist and brilliant inventor Allie Fox (Theroux), who uproots his family for Mexico when they suddenly find themselves on the run from the U.S. government. Theroux is actually the nephew of Paul Theroux, who wrote the novel, which has also been adapted into a 1986 film starring Harrison Ford. So, in prepping to portray the main character, the actor naturally reached out to the person who would have the best insights.
Theroux says. “I absolutely called my Uncle Paul, you know, because it would be foolish not to sort of dip my cup into the well of the source material and the man who wrote it. “I also, sort of anecdotally, have an intimate knowledge of certain aspects of Allie Fox, because it’s our suspicion — or my suspicion, and it’s been corroborated — that it’s based loosely on certain members of our family, my grandfather, who had a certain thriftiness to him. So, yeah, I had several long conversations with Paul once I got the script, and I started preparing the character.” “I have a long history with the novel only insofar as that I read it when I was a kid. I was only probably, I don’t know, 12 or 13, when it came out. And there’s
been a movie made of it so I’ve obviously, seen many iterations of it. And this was just one of those happy accidents that the stars aligned and we were able to do it,”

CASA volunteers, or Court Appointed Special Advocates, are everyday people from all walks of life who are recruited and specially trained to advocate for children in foster care and provide a consistent, reliable adult presence for them during a difficult time in their life. Last fiscal year, CASA of Middlesex County served 157 children, which equates to 45% of the 352 children in Middlesex County who were in foster care during that time. This represents a 25% increase from the number of children served during the year prior. “We still have work to do,” said Stephanie Brown, executive director, in a prepared statement from CASA of Middlesex County. “We need your help to ensure that no child has to navigate the foster care system alone.” In particular, CASA is in great need of more male and bilingual Spanishspeaking volunteers. CASA volunteers are trained, commit-
ted community volunteers who advocate on behalf of abused and neglected children in Middlesex County. CASA volunteers are assigned to one child or sibling group to advocate for their best interests in court, in school and at home. They get to know the child and everyone involved in their life, such as their parents and other family members, foster parents, therapists, caseworkers and teachers, in order to develop a realistic picture of the child’s unique situation, according to the statement. They engage those important to the child and family in order to build a network of support around them, so that the family has access to support and resources after the case ends. They make recommendations to the judge overseeing the child’s case, with the goal of ensuring that the child is safe and the family has the resources, support and healthy relationships needed to heal. “CASA volunteers are a constant for the child in a time of chaos,” Brown said in the statement. “A child may have multiple social workers, attorneys, therapists and foster placements throughout the life of the case but we make every effort to ensure they have only one CASA volunteer, which can make all the difference for the
child’s future.” Throughout April, in honor of Child Abuse Prevention Month, CASA of Middlesex County is calling on members of the community to help the program serve more of Middlesex County’s most vulnerable children. A child in foster care may have faced physical, psychological and/or emotional trauma only to endure long periods of uncertainty in the system as they wait to go home or be adopted, according to the statement. All this chaos and inconsistency has long-term effects. But having a caring, consistent adult who listens, checks in and puts the child’s best interests first can change this story, according to the statement. Children with a CASA on average receive more services while in care, do better in school, spend less time in foster care, are more likely to be adopted, and are less likely to be bounced from home to home, according to the statement. To become a volunteer or make a donation, visit casaofmiddlesexcounty.org, call 732-246-4449, or email info@casaofmiddlesexcounty.org.

Seasonal Allergies Many people look forward to spring, but what they don’t look forward to is the discomfort of seasonal allergies. An eye allergy (allergic conjunctivitis) occurs when the eyes react to something that irritates them. In response, mast cells within the eye produce a substance called histamine to fight off the allergen. The eyes, eyelids, and surrounding structures then become red, swollen, and itchy, with accompanying tearing and burning. There are several ways to address the problem of seasonal allergies. Avoiding allergens whenever possible is recommended. One treatment for itchy, red eyes is over-the-counter, preservative free artificial tears. The artificial tears wash out the pollen and pollutants, but unfortunately do nothing for the allergic reaction. Other over-the-counter medications may relieve some of the symptoms such as itching, but do not affect the allergic reaction. Additionally, many of these medications also contain preservatives which with prolonged use can actually make the symptoms worse. Instead of simply masking the symptoms, the best solution is to treat the underlying problem. There are a number of prescription eye drops with both an antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer which stop the allergic reaction by addressing the actual cause of the condition. Dr. Robert Scharfman is committed to excellence in patient care and compassion. He has served the community for over 25 years. For more information call (732) 607-0555 or visit www.rscharfmanmd.com.

Missed Opportunities By Paul Hall
S
tarting over is a real thing for so many individuals. Whether coming out of a bad relationship, leaving a job that saps your lifeblood, or just digging out from mountains of debt, when people are given the opportunity to make a new start, many jump at it. In the new film Vanquish, we see one such woman who gets a second chance. Victoria (Ruby Rose) has a messy past. She is a single mother and her daughter needs some expensive medical care. Her boss is Damon (Morgan Freeman), a former police commissioner who is currently in a wheelchair and needs constant care. Victoria serves as Damon’s caretaker and he treats her and her daughter as family. There is history between these two. It seems Damon may have been the only person between Victoria and prison (or worse). He gave her a second chance at life, and now Damon has another proposition, one that uses the talents that got Victoria in trouble with Russian drug couriers. Her initial hesitation turns to agreement when Damon uses a bargaining chip that Victoria can’t resist: He takes her daughter. Now, Victoria must make five pickups for the former police commissioner and he will pay for her daughter’s treatments. The pickups consist of bags of cash from some of the most unsavory locales in the city. Victoria has skills: She can outmaneuver anyone on her motorcycle and hold her own against the toughest men and women the bad guys can throw at her. Because of her past, many of these pickups involve individuals who just might have a history with Victoria and a grudge

to settle. Can she make all five pickups and vanquish her past before starting life over again? I really like Rose and I love Freeman, but this is a film that underuses both of them. Freeman delivers momentary glimpses of vintage performances, but those glimpses are fleeting and spaced out in a way that minimizes the man’s talents. But it isn’t only Freeman who feels wasted here, as Rose becomes a robot in her chase to finish the job laid out for her. Scenes felt independent of each other and not part of a cohesive narrative. A story that held so much promise was
sloppily executed. I really wanted to like this effort, but the brooding and ominous tones of the film as it plods to its ultimate resolution vanquished my interest. Vanquish feels like a mountain of missed opportunities, but that doesn’t stop my hope for a bright future for Rose and continued excellence from Freeman.

‘The Unicorn’ hasn’t been cancelled, right? Question: Please tell me The Unicorn is still on. B Positive (not funny) has recently been shown in its place. —Marie D. Matt Roush: The Unicorn aired its second-season finale on March 18. B Positive moved into its time period to make room for United States of Al after Young Sheldon. We probably won’t know until May, when CBS sets its fall schedule, if The Unicorn is returning. I hope it does, but it’s not a typical CBS sitcom and is very much on the fence when it comes to renewal. If we lose both The Unicorn and Mom (ending after eight seasons) from the Thursday lineup, that’s going to be really sad. Question: Am I wrong to be a Magnum P.I. purist and hate that they knocked off Icepick, that Tanaka isn’t in the show, and that Higgins and Magnum are buddies in the reboot? Also: I heard a rumor that
there’s going to be a NCIS: Hawaii and that Pride fits into this show. Any truth? —Gordon B. Matt Roush: You’re not wrong if it’s how you truly feel. My question would be: If you can’t accept this reimagined version of Magnum for what it is, why would you keep watching? Regarding NCIS Hawaii: While it’s still in development, everything, especially the casting of another NCIS stalwart, should be considered a rumor until the studio and network actually move forward.

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA
2021 Subaru Forester Sport
I
f the 2021 Subaru Forester were a football player, it would most definitely be an all-purpose running back. You know, the kind of running back that could not only pick up some tough yards when needed, but could block and catch passes as well – a good all-around utilitarian player. For me that’s what the Subaru brand is all about. They provide you with a goodlooking, rugged crossover with a tried-andtrue four-wheel drive system able to perform well off-road or in the snow and mud. Inside Subaru ergonomics are designed for practicality so they work well there – they are generally comfortable and able to handle a good amount of cargo. Moreover, pricewise they won’t bust your wallet. So, all Peter Perrotta around, they check all the necessary boxes. I recently put the 2021 Subaru Forester Sport to the test for one week of driving adventure and came away with generally what I expected. The fifth generation Forester comes in five different trim levels: base, premium, Sport, Limited and Touring. I drove the Sport model for one week which came in an attractive Dark Blue Pearl color with orange trim accents in the interior. For the most part, this Forester is a joy to drive. It handles reasonably well in all kinds of weather. It has ample cargo space for a compact crossover. It’s comfortable and is fairly smooth to drive and its interior ergonomics are well designed and are fairly easy to operate. However, if you are looking for the “Wow” sizzle factor this may not be the crossover for you. While this Forester is well designed for many different functions, for me it’s a bit conservative in its approach. The editors at Car and Driver seem to concur. They gave the 2021 Forester high marks for being “thoroughly practical” and having a roomy interior and being a “comfortable cruiser.”
C C f
2021 Subaru Forester Sport
But, Car and Driver handed the Forester low marks for having “slow acceleration times” and “boring” exterior styling. It also said that the base model was “quite basic.” I didn’t find this Forester to be slow, though. Powered by a 2.5 liter Subaru boxer engine that puts out 182 horsepower at 176 pound feet of torque, this Forester is quick enough to handle most driving situations well. Now, this is not a performance-type vehicle – like a BMW X1 or X3 – but for what it is, I felt it was adequately powered and handled at an above average grade. Let’s be honest. The type of consumer a crossover like the Forester is going to attract is going to bring to the table a much different demographic than the BMW or Mercedes crowd. The Forester is for the active lifestyle
crowd who have a kid or two and a dog and want to go kayaking in the mountains on the weekend. For that, this is an excellent all-around vehicle and should be high on your list if that is what you are seeking. The Sport Forester I drove carries a base sticker price of $29,395. It also has an option package for $1,645 and a $1,050 charge for destination and delivery, so the bottom-line sticker price came in at $32,090. The option package included an upgraded Subaru Starlink 8-inch touch screen multi-media system and a 576-watt 9 speaker Harman/Kardon sound system. So, for the base price of $29,395 on the Sport Forester you get a ton of standard equipment. I think, for the money, the Forester offers a good value. The EPA fuel consumption ratings on
this Forester come in at 29 miles per gallon overall – 33 mpg in highway driving and 26 around town. The EPA estimates that it will cost you about $1,400 per year for run the Forester as it uses about 3.4 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. On the government’s 5-star safety ratings crash test, the Forester scored an impressive 5 out of 5 – the highest rank. It received a 5-star rating in the frontal crash test as well as the side crash test and 4 stars in the rollover test. The Forester scored a 6 out of 10 on the EPA’s fuel economy and greenhouse gas rating and a 6 out of 10 on the smog rating. Peter Perrotta’s On The Road column appears regularly.

service, and I look forward to working together on behalf of the people of Middlesex County.” “I am proud to join the Middlesex County Board of County Commissioners,” McCullum said in the statement. “I am especially honored to have the opportunity to carry on the work of Ken Armwood, a dear friend and colleague. He left a legacy of kindness that was elevated by his hard work and commitment to the people of our great county. I will continue that legacy even as I work to establish my own path as a county commissioner dedicated to improving the lives of every Middlesex County resident.” In addition to serving on the Piscataway Township Council for the past eight years, McCullum is a member of the Piscataway Municipal Alliance, a role in which she works closely with members of the community to educate citizens regarding the dangers of drug, alcohol, and tobacco abuse and misuse, according to the statement. She also serves on the Board of Trustees for Sterling Village, Piscataway Township’s independent apartment complex for senior citizens.
A licensed registered pharmacist since 1991, McCullum began her pharmacy career as a staff pharmacist at Pathmark Pharmacy in the City of Newark. She has worked for Merck for more than 25 years, according to the statement. McCullum was educated in Piscataway’s public and private schools before earning her bachelor’s degree in pharmacy, magna cum laude, from Howard University in Washington, D.C., and her doctorate in pharmacy from Shenandoah University in Winchester, Virginia, according to the statement. She is the daughter of Retired Lt. Richard Scott of the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office and Middlesex County Sheriff Mildred S. Scott, the first female sheriff in Middlesex County and the first African American sheriff in the State of New Jersey. McCullum is only the second African American female to serve on the Middlesex County Board of County Commissioners, according to the statement. The first was her mother, who left the board to serve as Middlesex County Sheriff and was replaced as county commissioner by Armwood. The remaining year of Armwood’s term will be on the ballot for the Nov. 2 General Election.

PRAYER IS POWERFUL Oh, most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine of splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my Mother. Oh, Holy Mary Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this petition. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my Mother. Oh Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse in thee (3Xs). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3Xs). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy towards me and mine. + Say this prayer 3 consecutive days and publish prayer after petition is granted. Do not despair. Additional advice and petition. Pray the Rosary regularly. F.A.M.
ST. JUDE NOVENA May the sacred heart of Jesus be the adored, glorified, loved and preserved throughout the world now and forever. Sacred heart of Jesus pray for us. St. Jude, worker of miracles, pray for us. St. Jude, hope of the hopeless, pray for us. Say this prayer nine times a day. By the eighth day your prayer will be answered. Say it for nine days. It has never been known to fail. Publication must be promised. Thank you, St. Jude. LF
