The walkers averaged 34 miles a day – some of it through pouring rain and cold temperatures – while carrying their own backpacks. They camped out at night. Jamesy Raffone is now 11 and is still walking at an age when most children with Duchenne cannot. He is one of a group of children from the United States and abroad who are participating in a research study financed by JAR of Hope, in which they receive
daycare aide has been charged with the sexual assault and endangerment of a fourth child. Kyle Finn, 20, of Sayreville, an aide at the Superhero Schoolhouse Day Care in the Parlin section of Sayreville, was initially charged on Oct. 14 with sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child, both second degree charges. On Oct. 16, Finn was additionally charged with three counts of aggravated sexual assault, a first degree crime; three counts of sexual assault, a second degree crime; and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, a second degree crime, according to information provided by Middlesex County Prosecutor Yolanda Ciccone and Chief John Zebrowski of the Sayreville Police Department on Oct. 16. He was again charged with first degree aggravated sexual assault, second degree sexual assault, and second degree endangering the welfare of another child, the fourth thus far, on Oct. 18, according to updated information provided on Oct. 19. On Oct. 20, it was announced that he is accused of endangering a fifth child. In total, as of Oct. 20, Finn is presently charged with six counts of first degree aggravated sexual assault, seven counts of second degree sexual assault, and five counts of second degree endangering the welfare of a child with the charges varying victim to victim. In addition, Charmaine Larkin, 44, of South River, the day care director, was processed and released on Oct. 19 on a charge of failure to report child abuse, a disorderly persons offense. Finn was charged following an investigation by Detective Matthew Kenny of the Sayreville Police Department and Detective Suzanne Kowalski of the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office, which determined the victims were sexually abused at the day care, according to the allegations.

Participants in the JAR of Hope “Walk For Their Lives” cross the finish line at Lombardi Field, Old Bridge, on Oct. 19. The group walked from Washington, D.C., to New Jersey to raise awareness of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and to raise funds for research.
JAR of Hope raises $165,000 for sick children
O
fficials from the JAR of Hope foundation have announced that the organization’s 260-mile “Walk For Their Lives” raised $165,000 to research a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Led by founder/CEO James Raffone, and including parents of children born with the extremely rare illness, the walkers started out on Oct. 12 in Washington, D.C., and arrived in Old Bridge a week later, according to a press release. There is no cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, according to the press release. JAR of Hope was born in 2013 when James and Karen Raffone’s 4-year-old son,
James Anthony (Jamesy), was diagnosed with Duchenne. The Raffones were told by doctors to “just love him and wait for him to die,” but they decided instead to search for a cure. However, because Duchenne is so little known, raising funds to research the disease is a significant challenge, according to the press release. “When we first formulated the idea for ‘Walk For Their Lives,’ our goal was to reach the $50,000 mark in donations,” Jim Raffone said. “Then we decided to challenge ourselves by raising the bar to $100,000. But the contributions along the walk from peo-

Working families choose Y Academy programs for academic support, child care
W
orking families and those with special needs have been trying to navigate the new normal of hybrid and remote learning for their children since the start of the 2020-21 school year. While local school districts tried to give parents ample time to make plans for a new school environment, it proved challenging for the Hileman family. Morgan Hileman didn’t know how her Old Bridge family would juggle their complicated life schedule until she found out about a new program offered by the YMCA of Greater Monmouth County. With a 4-month-old baby who has yet to come home from the hospital, she spends three days a week at the hospital and other medical facilities with her infant daughter and would need help for her second grader who would only be in school part of the week. “I received a flier in my email about the new Y Academy in Old Bridge and immediately signed my son up for this program,” Hileman said. The Y Academy has been a lifesaver, Hileman said. “It not only allows our son to learn in a safe environment, but it also allows me to be at the hospital for our daughter during these very difficult times,” she said. Her 7-year-old Maverick is a student at Memorial Elementary in Laurence Harbor. He attends school one day a week and goes to the Y Academy at the Old Bridge Family YMCA on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays from 8:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. On Thursdays, he attends school from home. “My son asks if he can go every day. I think he prefers the instructors at the Y over his mother as a teacher,” Hileman said. The Y Academy opened on Oct. 5 in Old Bridge and at four other YMCA facilities in Monmouth County in September: YMCA Children’s Achievement Center in Matawan, Freehold Borough YMCA Community Center, Freehold Family YMCA, and the Red Bank Family YMCA. In all, more than 150 children are participating. The unique program was created and evolved during the pandemic to support the community and working families with school-age children.

7-year-old Maverick Hileman gets ready for a day of remote learning at the Old Bridge Family YMCA with help from Jana Derlin, a site supervisor.
“One of our main goals was to provide convenient, flexible and safe child care options and academic support for working parents in our community,” said Y President and CEO Laurie Goganzer. “This service was a welcome surprise, I’m so happy it was affordable and available for us,” Hileman said.
Children can attend the Y Academy two or three days a week for a half or full day. They can log in to their virtual classes from a personal device and get help with schoolwork from YMCA staff and volunteers. The Y offers non-contact activities, like yoga and STEAM challenges (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math),
and the kids get to spend time outdoors. They also take part in mindfulness activities. The YMCA is one of the nation’s largest and most trusted child care providers. “We have and continue to follow CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and local health department guidelines during the pandemic,” said Stacey Lastella, vice president of Child Achievement. Children and staff wear masks, health screenings take place at drop off, and both children and parents are temperature checked, she noted. In addition to the Y Academy, the Y offers before and after school care in 15 Monmouth County districts, and full-day kindergarten and full-time child care in Matawan and Freehold to support local families. Sliding-scale financial assistance is available for all programs. The YMCA has responded to the changing needs of its member communities throughout the health emergency. While the Y was temporarily closed for recreation and physical fitness activities as part of the statewide shutdown, the organization shifted its focus to provide essential services, such as food and blood drives and emergency child care. The Y continues to offer COVID testing and mental health counseling services in person and via telehealth. “The Y Academy is another commitment to supporting families and children in the communities we serve in Middlesex and Monmouth counties,” Goganzer said. Goganzer added that community volunteers are welcome to lend a hand at the Y Academy as part of the nonprofit’s Togetherhood volunteer initiative. “It’s a great way to come together as a community to support families and children though this new norm,” she said. For information about the Y Academy and other YMCA programs, visit www. ymcanj.org. Anyone interested in volunteering at a Y Academy can contact Lastella at slastella@ymcanj.org.

Officials announce requests for design for No. Brunswick train station By JENNIFER AMATO Managing Editor
T
he train station project in North Brunswick is underway, creating a community, not just a method of commuting, according to Diane GutierrezScaccetti, commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Transportation (DOT). State, county and local officials announced on Oct. 14 that NJ Transit has approved the release of a Request for Proposal for the design and engineering of the train station, to be located on Main Street off Route 1 north in North Brunswick. “Today’s announcement is a gamechanging moment in building this critically needed transportation hub on the Northeast Corridor and getting it completed expeditiously,” Middlesex County Freeholder Director Ronald G. Rios said during the press conference, held virtually due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. “The North Brunswick train station will bring relief to one of the state’s busiest rail lines, reduce traffic on Route 1, and attract new revenue to the region. For the county, the project has become emblematic of our continuous focus on forward momentum and prosperity for all our residents, businesses and partners,” Rios said. Middlesex County, through the Middlesex County Improvement Authority, will serve as project manager through an agreement with NJ Transit for the design and construction of the train station, which was announced on Oct. 30, 2019. This is the first time a county has been allowed to manage the construction of a crucial infrastructure project. “The MCIA stands ready with all partners involved to move this project forward,” said H. James Polos, executive
director of the MCIA and a former county freeholder. Polos said $5 million is earmarked for the first phase of a six-phase project. On Oct. 28, 2016, officials announced the receipt of $50 million from the state Transportation Trust Fund for the project. Middlesex County officials pledged $20 million to add a station stop at the former Johnson & Johnson site. With the RFPs to be released next week and due back in 45 to 60 days, the design phase could take 18 to 24 months before a shovel is put in the ground, officials said. There is no timeframe yet for when riders may actually be on trains at the new station. “The North Brunswick train station represents more than just convenience by providing an outlet between Jersey Avenue and Princeton Junction. It is an example of the future-forward thinking of Middlesex County, as the county spearheads economic development and growth in this region,” said Freeholder and NJ Transit board member Shanti Narra, who is a North Brunswick resident and a former member of the Township Council. “And not the least, more people on trains and fewer people on the roads will create a sustainable future for us all.” Narra said she is “acutely aware” of the challenges commuters face, as she traveled into New York City for 16 years. The project will reduce traffic along Route 1; increase revenue for North Brunswick and the region; make Middlesex County more commutable; connect the employment markets in Philadelphia, New Jersey and New York; reduce crowding on trains; and add convenience for those going to work, according to comments by
area officials. The project also aligns itself with Destination 2040, which will guide how Middlesex County will grow and change over the next 20 years. Rios said the county will become “an attractive destination to live, work and play in for generations to come.” “Our announcement today confirms we are moving full steam ahead, even during a global pandemic,” he said. Scaccetti added, “By creating a hub of transportation in Middlesex County, we give our residents and new residents a chance of where they choose to reside.” She said the DOT is about more than just transportation, but instead mobility, and the train station project is “a new model for delivering a community-based train station” because of the transit village that surrounds it. She also said the Transportation Trust Fund, which is meant to build projects focused on walking, driving, biking and mass transit, is being put to good use in this project, a “multi-model transportation network we worked so hard to develop.” North Brunswick Mayor Francis “Mac” Womack thanked all involved for their vision; for being caring; and for their competence, skill and dedication to the train station project. “This train station will make a positive reverberating impact to this region and to everyone who resides in it,” Womack said. As announced in 2019 by Rios and the Board of Chosen Freeholders, the MCIA has successfully pivoted its focus from general county services to primarily economic development, leveraging its ability to bond and finance projects, according to information provided by the Middlesex
County Office of Communication. With Middlesex County’s strong AAA rating, secured for the past 20 consecutive years, the MCIA obtains financing at very low interest rates, allowing major capital ventures to be undertaken without increasing county taxes, in most cases. Additionally, the MCIA has a professional staff with experience with redevelopment projects that span decades to ensure quality, timeliness and cost efficiency in its execution, according to the statement. Garden Homes Development, which has been developing the MainStreetNB project since 2006, began its vision for a transit village and associated train station in 2006. Currently, a Target, Costco with gas station, drive-up Panera Bread, Marriott and Greene Turtle are on the property, along with condominium units. The second phase of the project was contingent upon the train station. When the project is completed, there will be 300,000 square feet of freestanding large retail establishments, 450,000 square feet of mixed use retail and commercial space, 50,000 square feet of freestanding commercial space, 195,000 square feet of office space, 1,875 residential units, and the hotel, for a total of 1.25 million square feet of development on the property. “We want speed, but we also want quality, and we want innovation,” Scaccetti said. “Our goal is to really supply that transit village with transit quickly and as reasonably as possible.” For updates on the transit village project, visit www.mainstreetnb.com

Voters asked to weigh in on marijuana, tax credit for veterans, legislative redistricting By LEA KAHN Staff Writer
V
oters will be asked to weigh in on public questions on the Nov. 3 general election ballot that would amend the New Jersey Constitution on a number of issues. If voters approve of an amendment to the New Jersey Constitution to allow the sale of cannabis – which is a form of marijuana – to adults, oversight would be provided by the Cannabis Regulatory Commission. The commission was established
in 2019 to oversee the state’s medical marijuana program. Cannabis would be sold in retail stores, and subject to the state sales tax. Municipalities also may impose a local tax on cannabis products, according to an interpretive statement that appears on the ballot. The New Jersey League of Women Voters analyzed the question, and suggested reasons why a voter might approve or disapprove it on the league’s website, www. Vote411.org. Among the reasons for voting against legalizing marijuana is that its increased
use could lead to more car crashes. Drunk drivers can be detected by an alcohol Breathalyzer, but similar technology does not exist for detecting the level of impairment of a driver who uses marijuana. Legalizing marijuana also could lead to overuse or abuse, as well as unintended access to those under 21 years old. Given that it would be taxed, the underground market for marijuana would likely still exist, according to www.Vote411.org. It would be less expensive and not subject to the sales tax. Finally, marijuana is still illegal at the

federal level. There are reasons to approve legalizing marijuana – starting with the prospect of creating jobs, increasing state sales tax revenue and possible local tax revenue. It would lead to reduced costs that arise from arresting, prosecuting and punishing people for cannabis-related offenses, according to www.Vote411.org. Countering the argument that it is not possible to determine whether a driver has been impaired by marijuana use, specially trained police officers – drug recognition experts – can recognize drug effects. Also, regulating the sale of marijuana would ensure quality control, unlike marijuana sold on the underground market. Another public question asks voters to approve or disapprove an amendment to the state Constitution to extend a $250 deduction on property taxes to include military veterans who served during peacetime. The deduction currently is only available to veterans who served during times of war, and to their surviving spouses. The question also asks whether a full property tax exemption for disabled military veterans who suffered injuries during wartime should be extended to include veterans who became disabled during their peacetime military service. Veterans who live in a continuing care retirement community would not be eligible for the full property tax exemption. The reason to vote against it, according to www.Vote411.org., is that it would cost New Jersey about $13.6 million more from the Property Tax Relief Fund in 2020. The New Jersey Office of Legislative Services provided the estimated additional costs. The reason to vote for the measure to extend property tax relief is that it is one way to recognize military veterans’ service to the United States of America, regardless

whether they served during war or peace, according to www.Vote411.org. The third ballot question asks for a tConstitutional amendment to change the xlegislative redistricting schedule if census tdata is delayed. Typically, New Jersey requires an Ap-portionment Commission to create new legislative districts in the year following the federal census. This means that New Jersey’s legislative districts are currently screated and certified in years ending in one (2021). New Jersey holds legislative nelections in years ending in one (2021), ,and a new map is in place in time for those -elections. This is done to ensure that the ddistricts most accurately represent the state’s population – how it has moved and changed. o This question asks voters if they approve delaying the certification of new -legislative maps if census data is received .after February 15 of the year ending in one e(such as 2021). This delay would mean that fNew Jersey’s Apportionment Commission would have until March 1 of a year ending in two (2022) to create new legislative districts and state legislative elections would gbe held under the new map in years ending in three (beginning in 2023). This would be a permanent change and this delayed scheduled would apply every time New Jersey received the Census data

after Feb. 15. The reasons a voter might vote “no,” according to www.vote411.com, focus on the population in New Jersey being more racially diverse than 10 years ago, and extending the current district lines for two years means that these populations will not be accurately reflected or politically represented for an additional two years; there are other solutions, such as changing the primary election date in 2021, switching from odd to even year elections, or using existing map for just one year; and since this change is permanent, this would limit flexibility in handling delays for future census counts not affected by a pandemic. Reasons a voter might vote “yes,” according to www.vote411.org, include March 1, 2022, certification of new legislative district lines gives more time for the redistricting process in determining new legislative map; the proposed delay avoids compressing primary timelines, providing a normal timeframe after new districts are certified to field and run candidates for 2023; and the option prevents possible multiple one year terms and elections, such as an election in 2021 under the old map (if Census data was delayed), followed by a special election in 2022 and a regularly scheduled 2023 election.

Raffone said that was the reason for “Walk For Their Lives” – to finance research into the disease so that one day, no other parents will be told to “wait for him to die.” “We are amazed at the generosity of people we met along the 260 miles, but for me, one of the most touching moments was when we got close to home. So many of our friends and neighbors were walking along with us to the finish line in Old Bridge,” he said.

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA
2020 Corvette Stingray Convertible
I
n 1953, the engineers and designers at Chevrolet introduced to the world the first generation Corvette – a two seat convertible sports car that was supposed to “wow” the American consumer. Chevrolet produced 300 of this new model, which, at that time sold for a whopping $3,498. Reviews of the new American sports car were mixed and sales fell far short of expectations. The Corvette program was nearly canceled. Well, a funny thing happened on the way to becoming, arguably, the greatest American iconic automobile in history. The designers and engineers at Chevrolet persisted and kept tinkering with what they knew would eventually catch on to be a popular sports car. They were right! Now, a full 67 years later, Chevrolet is still “wowing” the world with its Corvette Stingray. Not satisfied with resting on its laurels, for what has been a great American success story, Chevrolet has stood the American motoring public literally on its head with the eighth generation Corvette Stingray – the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible. What is different about this all-new, totally redesigned – from the ground up – Corvette? Well, quite frankly, folks, everything. I recently spent a full week behind the wheel of this new Corvette – a stunning Rapid Blue with a Sky Cool Gray interior and a hard-top convertible that goes down with a simple push of a button. First off, this new Corvette doesn’t look anything like your grandfather’s Corvette. It’s totally redesigned look – very aggressive, sporty and sculpted – lends itself more to that of the Italian Lamborghini than the Vette we have been used to seeing (see photo). If public reaction and head turning ability could be rated, I would have to give this new Corvette a solid 10 on a scale of 1 to 10.
I must honestly say, that in all my years of road testing cars for review, I have never seen a car turn as many heads as this one. Strangers would take pictures of it in parking lots. Fellow motorists would snap cell phone shots of it as you passed them by. And, it was hard to go to the local Starbucks or supermarket without someone stopping me and wanting to talk about it. Just a simply amazing reaction from the general motoring public. But, it’s not just the exterior design that’s groundbreaking with this new Corvette, there is much more packed inside. The most obvious groundbreaking new design with this 2020 Corvette, is that it is Chevrolet’s first ever production mid-engine Corvette. For 67 years prior, all Corvettes were produced as front engine, rear wheel drive roadsters. Not this one. “Corvette has always represented the pinnacle of innovation and boundary pushing at GM,” says GM president, Mark Reuss. “The traditional front-engine vehicle reached its limits of performance, necessitating the new layout. In terms of comfort and fun, it still looks and feels like a Corvette, but drives better than any vehicle in Corvette history,” he adds. I would have to agree. Most front engine, rear wheel drive roadsters I have driven, are no fun to drive in the rain or snow. Most of the time, you end up fishtailing all over the place. Not a very secure feeling. Not with this new mid-engine Corvette. The second day I had this tester, I ventured to take it out in a driving rain storm on Route 295. The mid-engine design worked extremely well. I selected the “weather” mode on the driving style selector and securely went 65 to 75 miles per hour in the rain without ever feeling unsafe. The mid-engine design affords this sportster a very equal weight distribution. There are several versions of the new Corvette, model wise. The one I drove was the LT1 convertible that carries a base

sticker price of $66,400. With a few options added and a $1,095 destination and delivery charge, my tester carried a bottom line sticker price of $70,880. The added options on my tester included: $1,295 for carbon flash painted nacelles and body color convertible top; $1,195 for the performance exhaust; $500 for the Rapid Blue exterior paint job and $395 for the blue seat belts. The editors at Car and Driver noted as high points of the new Vette: “Supercar performance at an amazing price, comfortable on the road and incredible on the track, much improved interior quality.” Powering this new Corvette is the standard 6.2 liter, V-8 engine that puts out an impressive 490 horsepower and 470 pound feet of torque. This car is plenty fast, folks. If you put it in the “track” mode it is incredibly fast. In fact, the local police loved just tailing me just to see if I was going to misbehave in this beast. Chevrolet officials claim that if you get the new Corvette equipped with the Z51 performance package, it then becomes the
fastest Corvette in history – able to get from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds. My overall driving impression after one week behind the wheel of this new Vette, is quite simply, “Wow!” – a totally exhilarating experience to drive one of these automotive wonders. If you are itching to buy or lease one of these new Corvettes, it may not be as easy as you think. In some areas, there is as much as a one-year waiting list. In fact, some dealers are reported to be charging a market adjusted $10,000 to $20,000 over sticker premium on the car. The EPA fuel consumption ratings on this Corvette give it an average of 19 miles per gallon – with 27 mpg on the highway and 15 in city driving. The EPA estimates that the annual average fuel cost for driving this Corvette would be $5,250 as it uses about 5.3 gallons of fuel per every 100 miles driven.
