Old Bridge preservation of Cottrell Farm almost two decades in the making By KATHY CHANG Staff Writer

t was a historic day as Charlene O’Hara stood on the Cottrell Farm site where her mother Catharine Cottrell Wallace was born 101 years ago. “It means a great deal to my family to know the historic nature of this property is going to be preserved for future generations,” she said. O’Hara joined Mayor Owen Henry, Business Administrator Himanshu Shah, State Sen. Sam Thompson (R-12), former Mayor Barbara Cannon, former Mayor James Phillips’ wife Janet, members of the Township Council and township officials during a groundbreaking ceremony for Phase I of Cottrell Farm Park Building Rehabilitation on July 9. The ceremony was streamed live on Facebook. Cottrell Farm, a 21.5-acre historical apple orchard farm across the street from the Old Bridge Municipal Complex on Route 516, was acquired from Herbert Cottrell Jr. using funding from Middlesex County, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Green Acres and Old Bridge Township Open Space Trust Funds. O’Hara said her mother and brother Herbert were raised in the house on the site, which dates back to 1840. “Herbert lived here until he died a few years ago,” she said. O’Hara said her mom’s family is one of the oldest families dating back to the Revolutionary War. “A hill on the property used to be used as a signal area during that time,” she said. “The family can be traced back to my great, great grandfather John W. Herbert Sr. Many generations have farmed on this land and it has been passed down from generation to generation in the Herbert family and it crossed over to the Cottrell family when a son-in-law Garrett Cottrell purchased the land.” O’Hara said the land was used as a fruit and vegetable farm, a cedar mill and a distillery. In 2010, Cottrell Farm was acquired by Middlesex County in accordance with the Open Space Recreation, and Farmland and Historic Preservation Act and the Middlesex County Open Space Plan. Addition-

ally, the site is subject to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Green Acres Program restrictions. The Cottrell Farm, owned by the Cottrell family, had been in the township for more than 200 years. John Hauser had been preserving and maintaining the buildings for 30 years up until the county acquired the land in 2010. The Township of Old Bridge entered into a Conservation Management Agreement with Middlesex County on April 6, 2017, where the township has accepted responsibility for security, liability, management and enforcement of the Green Acres Restrictions and enforcement of Middlesex County Park rules and regulations not inconsistent with the deed restrictions. The county acquisition and conservation management agreement was the result of the foresight of former Mayor James Phillips and his administration, who wanted to see the area preserved and did not want to see the area developed into high-

density multi-family units and commercial space. Shah noted the site became available in early 2000, but funding and assistance did not come right away. Janet Phillips attended the ceremony on behalf of her husband, who passed away in 2014. She said the timing of the groundbreaking is meaningful to her family. “Yesterday was Jim’s birthday,” she said. “This would have made him extremely happy and proud to see the project coming into reality. In 2010 when the property acquisition was completed Jim was quoted in one of the newspapers saying, ‘This certainly needs to be a combined effort to acquire these properties, but everyone stepped up to the plate and wholeheartedly agreed that this land needed to be preserved.’ “ Phillips said she would like to thank all the people who stepped up to the plate to plan the transition of the Cottrell Farm Park.

“It is something Old Bridge residents now and our children and grandchildren in the future will really be proud of and enjoy,” she said. Nicole Shapiro, township director of community development and engineer, said in 2017, the mayor came to her and said with the conservation management agreement, they needed to move forward with something for the site. “It’s just too beautiful to let it sit,” she recalled the mayor saying. “Let’s make sure we come up with something great for the property.” Shapiro brainstormed ideas with the Department of Parks and Recreation and a steering committee was formed. “Today we sit in Phase 1 groundbreaking, which entails interior and exterior [improvements] to the Cottrell Farm House building, exterior [improvements] to the stone garage, CMU shop garage and the red barn,” she said. “The next phase will

Remote learning scheduled to continue at . Middlesex County College for fall semester

ost fall semester classes at Middlesex County College (MCC) in Edison will run remotely. Mark McCormick, MCC president, said the decision is in efforts to allow students to continue their education “while mitigating the risks of exposure to COVID-19.” “We want to ensure that students receive the education they need and deserve while at the same time protecting their health and safety,” McCormick said in a statement provided by the college. “We anticipate a 90/10 percent split, with about 90% of classes offered online and 10% on campus.” Linda Scherr, vice president for Academic Affairs, said MCC is offering classes in different formats to provide flexibility for students. “The formats give students choices about their learning, while emphasizing health and safety practices to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” she said in the statement. Many of the courses will be converted into what the college is calling “Remote Live,” which are classes held at a scheduled day and time using video conferencing. Students interact with the professor and fellow students in real time, although some sections may include assignments for students to complete on their own instead of meeting for every scheduled class session. “The second half of our spring semester was conducted using Remote Live,

and it was very successful,” McCormick said. Remote Live was implemented in March due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. The spring semester concluded online and the MCC’s 53rd commencement was held virtually. Traditional online courses will also be offered. The student works when it is convenient, and completes assignments by the due date. There are no required weekly meeting times and course materials and assignments are submitted online. “This mode is a good option for students who prefer a flexible schedule and have effective time management skills,” McCormick said. Some programs – such as nursing, dental hygiene, fine arts, radiography, engineering and culinary arts – include courses that require in-person instruction and those courses will be offered in a hybrid format, with about half of the sessions online or Remote Live and half in person. “All on-campus instruction will adhere to strict health and safety protocols in compliance with state and local guidance,” McCormick said. For all fall courses, students will need access to a computer or tablet with microphone and the internet. For students without access to a computer, MCC has laptops available for loan. For more information, email student_ services@middlesexcc.edu for details.

OLD BRIDGE – Old Bridge High School held four in-person commencement ceremonies at Lombardi Field to honor the 729 graduates of the Class of 2020. Two ceremonies – one at 8 a.m. followed by another at 10:30 a.m. – were held on July 8 and 9. During the 45-minute ceremonies, the school honored the Class of 2020 valedictorian and salutatorian, Jordan Totten and Rayaan Chowdhury, respectively. Jordan is headed to Georgia Tech in the fall, where she will study chemical engineering. She plans to have a career in alternative energy or environmental products. Rayaan plans to attend the Honors College at Rutgers University, where he will study biology and aspires to become a doctor. With Gov. Phil Murphy’s announcement to allow 500 people to gather outdoors on July 3 and to allow in-person graduations after July 6, school officials came together to plan what is best for Old Bridge High School (OBHS) 2020 class despite the novel coronavirus pandemic. The graduation normally is held at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel. Murphy lifted the state’s stay-at-home order on June 9, which went into effect on March 21, and also increased limits on the number of people who can gather indoors

from 10 to 50 people or 25% of a building’s capacity and 25 to 100 people outdoors. The numbers of people allowed to gather outdoors will increase to 250 people on June 22 and 500 people on July 3. Each graduate was allowed to invite two guests. Everyone was required to wear face coverings and temperature screenings were conducted at the entrances to the field. Temperatures soared to the mid-80s as graduates, seated in the home bleachers, and family members, seated socially distanced on the field in beach chairs and on blankets, listened to speeches by Schools Superintendent David Cittadino, OBHS Principal Vincent Sasso, and Vice Principal Sally Fazio. Jordan spoke on the second day of the commencement ceremonies. The district livestreamed and taped the commencement exercises for siblings, extended family members and friends to view the ceremony from home. In addition, multiple graduation stages were set up outside of Door No. 1 in the front of the OBHS main building for family photo opportunities from July 8-10. While the ceremony was shortened from the usual two hours, it included many of the traditional components. Each student was recognized, tassels were turned, mortar boards tossed, and the graduates marched from the stadium to the field to the traditional “Pomp and Circumstance.”

Enjoy the outdoors while still being safe

s of July, many restrictions related to coronavirus are being lifted, like the stay-at-home order. However, COVID-19 still has a widespread impact on our daily lives. We need to be mindful of our personal health, and that of others, to stop the spread of this disease. This summer may not be a typical one, but as long as we adhere to social distancing and behave responsibly, we can still enjoy the warm weather and our time at home. Here are a few safety tips to keep in mind, and remember to always check the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website if you have any further questions. The requirements for beaches differ from state to state and town to town. Many beaches are now limiting the amount of people on the beach and still require patrons to stay six feet apart. Others allow beach access for running, walking and swimming, but no sunbathing. Some beaches do require wearing a mask. Before planning a trip to the beach, do an online search for their COVID-19 guidelines, and make sure you are prepared to follow social distancing and wear PPE. This also applies to parks, recreation areas and hiking trails. No matter where you spend your time

outdoors, you will be much safer if you wear a mask and supply your own food and beverages. Local pools will be opening, which presents another set of concerns. The CDC recommends that you wash your hands often before entering the pool, and after you exit. Always wear face coverings while not in the pool, and whenever distancing is not an option. Finally, all owners and managers are advised to provide social distancing between chairs. Above all, work together to enjoy the outdoors while still being safe. Right now, there’s no safer place than your own backyard, so try playing a game together as a family, such as tag or kickball. If you’re able to cook outdoors, get the whole family to help prepare the meal and make it a festive occasion. Middlesex County’s website has guidelines on how to safely enjoy our parks and outdoor spaces, and to have fun from home. For more information, visit https://discovermiddlesex.com/covid19/. Please stay safe, and have patience and consideration for each other. Together, we can work towards a better future. Ronald G. Rios Director Middlesex County Freeholders

Area church pays medical debt of residents in Middlesex, Mercer counties

rinceton Alliance Church (PAC) partnered with RIP Medical Debt to pay off $1.75 million in medical debt throughout Mercer and Middlesex counties. Because of PAC’s donation of $15,000, letters will be mailed to 1,127 recipients this week informing them that their medical debt is paid in full: 253 in Middlesex County ($417,995 million) and 874 in Mercer County ($1,338,390 million). “We have a robust assistance program and often see medical debt connected to an inability to sustain basic needs of food and shelter in our communities. I believe that abolishing this medical debt will help lift people out of the vicious cycle of economic poverty. Our mission is to help people live life to the fullest in Jesus and we believe that happens by knowing God, developing community, and bringing hope to the

world. This is one of many ways we can do so,” Lead Pastor Boyd Hannold said in a prepared statement from the Plainsboro church. Medical debt is the No. 1 source of personal bankruptcy filings in the country, affecting both the uninsured and around 20% of Americans with insurance under the age of 65 who also have trouble covering their costs, according to the statement. More than 11 million Americans took on added credit card debt in 2013 to cover medical expenses. RIP Medical Debt is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose sole purpose is to locate, purchase and then forgive medical debt for those in greatest need through the contributions of donors, according to the statement.

National Moth Week offers backyard activities for safe science

he ninth annual National Moth Week, which this week will be July 18-26, invites novice and experienced “moth-ers,” alike, to observe moths in their own backyards and contribute to scientific knowledge as part of one of the world’s largest citizen science projects. National Moth Week (NMW) offers the opportunity to learn about nighttime nature from the safety of backyards and gardens; porches, decks and balconies – anywhere a light can be turned on. Free registration of private and public moth-watching events is encouraged on the NMW website in order to show where moths are being observed around the world. Private street addresses are never displayed. All participants will receive a certificate of participation designed by Ecuadorean artist Belen Mena of the NMW team. “This year’s National Moth Week may not feature as many traditional public moth nights as in the past, but it’s still possible to observe and learn about moths while social distancing,” said Liti Haramaty, co-founder of National Moth Week, in a prepared statement. “All you need is an outdoor light source shining on a wall, door or white sheet. And don’t forget your camera.” In addition to using lights, moth-ers also can attract moths by coating tree trunks with a sticky, sweet mixture of fruit and stale beer. Searching for caterpillars and day-flying moths is a good activity for daytime. The NMW website offers tips on attracting moths. Participants are invited to contribute photos and data to NMW partner websites, as well as the NMW Flickr group, which now has over 100,000 moth photos from

Last year, over 27,000 moth observations were posted on iNaturalist. Since it was established in 2012, NMW has inspired thousands of public and private moth-watching and educational events around the world in over 80 countries and all 50 U.S. states, according to the statement. Sites have included national parks and monuments, museums and local recreation areas, private backyards and front porches – wherever there’s a light and a place for them to land. Last year, hundreds of National Moth Week events were registered around the world, including all 50 states and 47 countries. “Moth diversity is astonishing and with a little effort it’s amazing what can be found in a backyard or local park,” NMW co-founder David Moskowitz said in the statement. “Some of my most exciting moth adventures have been in my own small backyard. Exploring yours is sure to yield moth treasures that are just waiting to be found.” National Moth Week was founded by the Friends of the East Brunswick Environmental Commission, a nonprofit organization dedicated to environmental education and conservation. It is now one of the most widespread citizen science projects in the world. It is coordinated by volunteers in New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Washington State, Ecuador, India and Hong Kong.

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA

2020 Toyota C-HR Limited

hen one strives to stand out – like going out on the limb with a way different style – there always stands the chance that the result will be a “you either love it, or hate it” reaction. Pink hair. Blue hair. Purple hair. Maybe, I’m old fashioned, but something about it just doesn’t look right to me. When the folks at Japanese car importer Toyota began toying with the idea of the crossover SUV CH-R model a few years Peter Perrotta back, it began as a very edgy looking and sculpted concept car. A lot of these types of cars never make it to the mass market production line. But, Toyota went out on the limb in 2018 and introduced the C-HR crossover as a worldwide, mass market production car. The CH-Rs that are sold in the United States are actually made in Turkey. To be honest, I had never even heard of this model until the publicist from Toyota scheduled me for a one week test drive for review recently. When I told my brother, who sells Toyota’s in Minnesota, that I was going to be test driving one he said, “You’re going to hate it.” Well, after one week behind the wheel of the 2020 Toyota CH-R Limited recently, I must confess, I didn’t hate it. I kind of liked it, with some reservations. First off, before I get into all the technical details, being the journalist that I am, I rushed to research just why this compact crossover is called the CH-R. The answer is a bit confusing, but here goes. It stands for Compact High Rider, Cross Hatch Run-about or Coupe High Rider.

At first glance, the exterior of this vehicle looks like a very snazzy, sculpted flying wedge with the back end of the car sitting up noticeably higher than the front end. Hence, all those different CH-R names. In it’s review, Car and Driver gave the CH-R high marks for what it termed its “look at me” styling “cheeky interior design” and “plenty of standard features”. In fact, it is a stylish looking cross over SUV, the smallest Toyota offers in its lineup. In a very edgy design feature, the handles for the rear doors of this compact SUV are located at the top of the windows. When I first attempted to open one of the back doors, it threw me for a loop for a few seconds. I had never seen a design like this. But, at the end of the day, for this vehicle that design fits and works. The front seat cockpit and passenger seat ergonomics are superior, nicely designed and comfortable. The back seat, on the other hand, is a bit cramped. The sticking points – and issues most car reviewers have knocked it for – is the fact that this vehicle is not offered in a fourwheel-drive drive train and only comes with a somewhat inadequate 2.0 liter, four cylinder engine that puts out a modest 144 horsepower. Quite frankly, this car is crying out for a turbo boost engine so that it can get a little more giddy up than the 0 to 60 in 11 seconds performance. The 2.0 liter engine is coupled with the ever popular CVT (continuously variable transmission). These transmissions don’t shift gears, using one continuous gear mode instead. When you stomp on the accelerator, for quick passes or entrance ramp acceleration, the engine just sort of sits there and whines. When I asked my brother if they sell a lot of these CH-Rs in Minnesota he said that the fact that it isn’t offered with a fourwheel-drive option is a major drawback, especially in a snowy state. Whether or not Toyota has any plans

2020 Toyota C-HR Limited

SUBMITTED PHOTO

to add a bit more power and a four-wheeldrive option remains to be seen. On the positive side of that, the 2.0 liter engine is fuel efficient. The EPA Department of Transportation fuel economy ratings for this car come in at an impressive 29 miles per gallon average – with 31 MPG on the highway and 27 in city driving. The EPA estimates that the average annual fuel cost of operating the CH-R is a modest $1,400 as it uses about 3.4 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. Toyota offers the 2020 CH-R in three different trim levels, the base LE (starting at $22,415), the mid level XLE ($24,450) and the top of the line Limited ($27,470). The test car I drove for one week was the Limited model in Hot Lava with silver/ black. The base MSRP sticker price – with destination included – was $27,470. The only additional options on my tester were $465 for an audio plus HD upgraded radio and $500 for two-tone paint. The final sticker price on the tester came in at $28,435. As most Toyotas do, this car gets high quality points for its structure, design and safety.

On the government’s 5-star safety ratings crash test it received an overall 5-star rating. For the frontal crash test it received five stars for driver side and four for the passenger. In the side crash test, it got five stars for both the front seat and rear seat tests. And, on the rollover test it got four stars. The all important these days, infotainment system in this car is above average. It features an 8-inch touchscreen with six speakers. The audio system is average. However, the functionality of the infotainment system is good. It is fairly easy to sync up your phone, music (from a iPod) and connect to the Apple Car Play or Android Auto system for navigation. Overall, the CH-R is worth checking out if you are in the market for a compact crossover SUV. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it is sure to attract enough consumers to make this an interesting consideration in this segment.

Cottrell (Continued from page 1)

accomplish the interior of the buildings plus the interior and exterior of the pool house. We are following state historic preservation office guidelines for upkeep and rehabilitation. We currently are finalizing our Phase 1 site plan and looking to bid the project in the fall.” As part of the five-phased plan, township officials worked with French and Parrello Associates, an engineering firm based in Wall Township, and EI Associates, of Cedar Knolls, on design and preservation of the farm. The five buildings on the farm will be maintained and preserved. The Cottrell Farm House, which is 3,469 square feet, is proposed as a meeting hall, lecture hall, warming kitchen and administrative offices. The barn, which is 1,375 square feet, is proposed as a large event space with option for a mezzanine. The stone garage, which is 947 square feet, is proposed as event space. The CMU shop garage, which is 1,890 square feet, is proposed for mediumsized events, community/meeting rooms, and overflow space for large events in conjunction with large events in the barn. The pool cottage, which is 720 square feet, will be used as a storage building. Ruben Garrido, manager of EI Associates Architectural Department, said the farmhouse dates back to around 1850 during the Greek Revival period.

Michael Piga, of French and Parrello Associates, said the farm property is envisioned to have a great lawn area parallel to Route 516, an amphitheater for small bands and Shakespeare in the Park, a pavilion, and a small playground and splash pad for children. Walking and trail paths are proposed throughout the park with an area for a memorial with brick pavers and historic signage along the paths. The main parking lot along Cottrell Road is envisioned to serve the farmers market, community/butterfly garden area and event parking. Two to three other small parking lots are also proposed in the park. “There will be something for every user in this park,” Shapiro said, as the public can enjoy meandering through apple orchards for passive recreation. “There is a greenhouse on the other side of the farmhouse that is important … we are actually going to reconstruct the greenhouse.” The existing apple orchard will also be preserved and maintained, officials said. Shapiro said the preliminary cost of preserving the Cottrell Farm is $6.25 million. And with continued successful partnerships with the community, Middlesex County, DEP Green Acres, New York/New Jersey Baykeeper, along with the state historic preservation office, township officials believe the plan will move further along in their efforts to make it a jewel for Middlesex County, for Old Bridge Township and for the community. Shapiro said the township has received $1.5 million from DEP Green Acres and is

The groundbreaking ceremony for Phase I of the Cottrell Farm Park Building Rehabilitation was held on July 9.

expected to receive $1.5 million from the state historic preservation office. Henry said it was an “arduous, difficult and challenging” journey leading up to the groundbreaking ceremony. He said his predecessors and prior administrations had the foresight and fortitude to realize the historic value of Cottrell Farm. “The unwavering efforts and tireless dedication to those involved in this project saved this beautiful historic farm,” he

said, adding the preservation of the site will make Old Bridge a better place to live, work and raise families. Council President Mary Sohor said the groundbreaking ceremony for the project was a great way to follow the township’s 150th anniversary celebration in 2019. “We are going to have something here that will bring all the community together,” she said.

Why have our customers chosen us over another window company? 1. Fibrex® Material Our Fibrex material was researched by Andersen en for 30 years before it was installed in even one home. Our Fibrex material is twice as strong as vinyl. 2. Unique Look Our window has the elegant look and strength of a wood window, but our Fibrex material doesn’t demand the same maintenance of wood.* 3. Accountability There’s no frustrating “middle man” to deal with. We manage the entire process–from building to installation to the warranty–on windows and patio doors.
