Old Bridge, school district collaborate to offer COVID-19 testing through holiday season By KATHY CHANG Staff Writer

KATHY CHANG/STAFF
As Old Bridge continues to be one of five coronavirus hotspots in Middlesex County, the township, Old Bridge School District and Synergy Med Labs in Aberdeen, Monmouth County, have collaborated to provide COVID-19 testing through the holiday season.
s Old Bridge continues to be one of five coronavirus hotspots in Middlesex County, the township and the public school district have collaborated to provide COVID-19 testing through the holiday season. “We saw a need,” Mayor Owen Henry said, adding it made sense to offer testing as Old Bridge is one of the larger towns in the county. “It was a monumental task to put together.” The collaborative effort, which involves volunteers from township departments and a local laboratory, Synergy Med Labs in Aberdeen, began before Thanksgiving with three days of pre-Thanksgiving COVID-19 testing in the parking lot of Old Bridge High School. Some 1,100 people were tested from Nov. 22-24. On Nov. 25, the township announced the continuation of testing twice a week through December to combat the increasing COVID-19 cases and potential risks of holiday gatherings. A half hour before the testing site opened on Dec. 2, there was a line of cars already waiting for the testing site to open. Schools Superintendent David Cittadino said people can view a live webcam to see how long the line is before venturing to the site. Appointments are not necessary. The next scheduled testing date is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Dec. 5. Henry said not only are they fortunate to develop a community-based relationship for testing, which was approved by the county, their partnership with a local
laboratory allows for COVID-19 results within 24 hours. Cittadino said the name of the laboratory is fitting because the definition of synergy is a group collaboration with a common goal. Henry said they would be remiss if they didn’t take steps to do something when the township was identified as one of the coronavirus hotspots. And with continued testing as one of the effective ways to combat the coronavirus, along with wearing a mask and social distancing, it was necessary to come together to offer testing in the township, Henry and Cittadino said. The township put funds towards a trailer and the school district is providing resources. Henry said they hope the funds will be reimbursed by the CARES Act. Cittadino added their partnership also helps any unnecessary stress in the hospitals as coronavirus cases continue to rise. As of Dec. 2, the township reported 231 new COVID-19 cases between Nov. 25 to Dec. 2, which brings the total number of cases to 2,394. The township has lost 87 residents, according to Middlesex County. Anyone with COVID-like symptoms or has been exposed to someone testing positive, are advised to take steps to prevent themselves from getting or spreading COVID-19.

R.J. Brunelli & Co selected to expand COVID testing sites
R
esponding to the critical need to make COVID-19 testing more accessible to New Jersey residents, Mobile Health Solutions has selected R.J. Brunelli & Co., LLC to help guide its expansion to parking lots of shopping centers and other high visibility sites throughout the state. In its role as exclusive real estate representative for New Jersey, the firm will initially focus on the central and northern regions.
The fully-equipped, 8-foot by 20-foot testing centers, which are constructed from former shipping containers, are designed to occupy two to three parking spaces in a parking lot. “This is all about visibility, so we are focused on locations offering high traffic, good signage and easy access along major shopping corridors,” Danielle Brunelli, president and principal of R.J. Brunelli, who is directing the account, said in the statement. “While strip centers and region-
al malls are preferred, we will also consider non-retail locations. “Because the service is offered on an appointment-only basis, landlords do not have to worry about lines of cars tying up traffic in their lots. This is an excellent way for landlords to provide an important service to their community at a time when people across the country are clamoring to get tested.” In addition to reaching out to landlords, R.J. Brunelli will be working with munici-
palities to obtain approvals for the testing sites. Mobile Health Solutions is an affiliate company of Red Bank-based Immediate Care Medical, which operates eight multidisciplinary, walk-in urgent care centers in Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth and Ocean counties. Sal Cannizzaro, the principal of both companies, noted that the mobile units are an outgrowth of the COVID-testing (Continued on page 9)

Former theater debuts in new life as Alternate Ending Beer Co. By VASHTI HARRIS
Staff Writer
T
he building that was home to the Strathmore Cinema for almost six decades has found new life as the home of the Alternate Ending Beer Co. at 1057 Route 34, Aberdeen Township. Owner Scott Novick, a native of Marlboro who now resides in Colts Neck, and his team transformed the former theater into a location that offers signature craft beers made on-site in Alternate Ending’s brewhouse. There will also be specialty beers, cocktails and pub grub from Asbury Park eatery Talula’s. The contemporary interior includes pieces from the former theater, including original seats and lightboxes. The theater was built during the 1960s with the nearby Strathmore residential development was constructed, Aberdeen Township officials said. In an interview, Novick said, “This was the right time, the right place. My wife Jen and I were out to dinner at Heirloom Kitchen and the owner, who I went to elementary school with, told me her dad owned the building (that the movie theater operator) was currently leasing, but they were not renewing their lease. I always wanted a farmhouse brewery, but this was too good to be true.” The brewery is keeping the spirit of the former movie house alive with a theater room where patrons will be able to enjoy a movie, food and drink when COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. In the meantime, in accordance with state restrictions, 25% of the pub’s main indoor dining area is open to the public, with reservations suggested. Outdoor dining will remain available as long as weather conditions allow. Novick said demolition at the former theater started in October 2019 and construction began in late February. The business is now open and ready to greet customers.
” … It was scarier leading up to the opening, but now that we are open all I can do is hope our staff and customers are safe and ride out this pandemic knowing we are taking the proper safety precautions. While I’m not one for happy endings in a movie, I hope this story has a happy ending for us all,” he said. To mark its grand opening event in late October, Alternate Ending earmarked a share of the profits from the grand opening period to a local nonprofit organization designated by Mayor Fred Tagliarini. Officials said $828 was donated to the HazletHolmdel-Aberdeen-Matawan Therapeutic Recreation Program, which serves individuals from those communities who have developmental disabilities. Tagliarini said, “On behalf of the Township Council and the Economic Business Council, it gives me great pleasure to welcome the Alternate Ending Beer Co. family to the Aberdeen business family. “The fruits of your labor have paid off with this exciting grand opening. The way you have incorporated the movie theater’s history of the past with your recipe for the future will certainly earn you an Oscar for best new brewery of the year. “This is truly a great reuse of a cherished theater that was unable to survive the changes in how people view movies,” the mayor said. In addition to Tagliarini, Aberdeen Township was represented at a ribbon cutting ceremony by Deputy Mayor Joseph Martucci, Councilwoman Connie Kelley, Councilwoman Margaret Montone, Councilman Artie Hirsch, Economic Business Council Chairman Carmine Visone and Police Chief Rick Derechailo. Alternate Ending Beer Co. is open Wednesday and Thursday, 3-10 p.m.; Friday, 3-11 p.m.; Saturday, noon to 11 pm; and Sunday, noon to 10 pm.

‘Daniel’s Law’ will protect privacy of judges, law enforcement personnel
G
ov. Phil Murphy has signed legislation into law which will protect the home addresses and telephone numbers of judges, prosecutors and law enforcement officers from public disclosure. The bill, known as “Daniel’s Law,” is named in honor of Daniel Anderl, the late son of U.S. District Court Judge Esther Salas. Anderl was killed by an individual who had compiled a dossier of personal information about Salas, including the judge’s home address in Middlesex County, according to information provided by the governor’s office. “This is a renewed commitment to ensure that our judiciary, prosecutors and members of law enforcement who answer the call of justice can do so without fear for their personal safety, or the safety of their loved ones,” Murphy said in a statement issued by his office. “By shielding the home addresses and private contact information for those who serve on the bench and enforce our laws, we are demonstrating that in the face of unspeakable tragedy, New Jersey responds not with thoughts and prayers, but with concrete action.” “My husband, Mark, and I would like to thank Gov. Murphy and all the men and women of the New Jersey State Legislature for enacting this trailblazing legislation,” Salas was quoted as saying in the statement. “We hope this law can be a steppingstone to improving the security of my sisters and brothers who serve as federal judges throughout the country. Nobody should be forced to endure the kind of pain my family has experienced ever again. Together we can work to ensure that all members of the judiciary (federal, state and municipal courts) can perform their duties without fear of retribution or harm. Daniel used to say, ‘Mom, I love talking with you.’ “I know Daniel is listening now and he is smiling down on us today because he knows that with this bill signing, we are doing our part to ensure his death will not be in vain,” Salas said. The new law amends the New Jersey Open Public Records Act to exclude from the public record the portion of any document which discloses the home address of any active or retired judge, prosecutor or law enforcement officer, according to the statement. Further, the bill prohibits government agencies, individuals and businesses from knowingly publishing on the internet, or otherwise making available, the home address or unpublished home telephone number of any active or retired judge, or any active or retired prosecutor. The law also enables any active or retired judge, prosecutor or law enforcement officer whose home address or unpublished telephone number is disclosed on the internet or otherwise made available to the public, or whose immediate family member’s name, home address, or unpublished phone number is disclosed on the internet or otherwise made available to the public, to request that the information be removed. The government agency, individual or business would be required to remove the information within 72 hours of receiving such a request in writing, according to the statement. Anderl, 20, was killed at his family’s North Brunswick home on July 19. Salas’ husband, attorney Mark Anderl, was seriously injured in the attack that was carried out by suspect Roy Den Hollander, who allegedly targeted the family because of his disdain for Salas and her role as a federal judge, according to reports. Den Hollander subsequently took his own life.

Grandsons will honor relative with distillery in Keyport
W
hen Soviet Union General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev issued an anti-alcohol campaign in the mid-1980s that entailed a soft prohibition and subsequently raised the price of vodka, wine and beer, the new legislation, which was similar to America’s liquor prohibition in 1920, ignited an era of bootlegging and hoarding of supplies. As individuals throughout the Soviet Union sought new ways to brew and distill liquor at home, one citizen, Oleg Pichenikin, developed a spirit recipe from split peas that became popular among his friends and colleagues. Nearly four decades later, Pichenikin’s grandsons are following in his footsteps. Bound by ancestral history and craftsmanship, twin brothers Aleks and Maks Zhdanov are honoring their grandfather’s legacy by bringing his split pea spirit, tied in with elements of Soviet prohibition culture and themes, to Keyport with a new distillery they plan to open this winter. The name of the business, 3BR, which stands for “Three Bottles or Riot,” draws influence from Gorbachev’s dry law which enforced a ration of two bottles of liquor per person right around the time Aleks’ and Maks’ parents were planning to get married in Russia. The new business at 7 Main St., Keyport, is expected to house a distillery production side and a tasting room which will feature cocktails and bottle sales. The distillery is also expected to house a distinctive production process which includes a centrifugal sifter to help work with the tricky split pea material, and a hydroponics setup to grow botanicals and garnishes for the bar. The business has been an enduring vision for the 27-year-old Zhdanov brothers. Aleks Zhdanov recalled that the idea was
born in 2014 from an interest in brewing ginger beer in his dorm room at Rutgers University alongside brother Maks and roommate Robert Mattera. “We started to get into ginger beer during college and Rob would bring it back to the room, which started a craze for us to make our own,” Aleks Zhdanov said. “We bought a small home-brewing kit and used online instructions to make our own, but it tasted repulsive. It turned out so bad that we almost abandoned the idea of brewing for a year. We had no idea what we were doing.” Although the trio’s initial efforts in home-brewing proved to be futile, they revisited the idea about one year later. “This time, with a bit more research, we started to have better and better results,” Aleks Zhdanov said. Revived with dexterity for crafting new recipes and ideas for spirits, Aleks said that right around the time he and his brother embarked on this skill, their mother Yuliana informed them of their grandfather’s history in producing homemade liquor. Having grown up in the aftermath of World War II, Pichenikin left school to join the workforce and grew up with limited resources, but he overcame those obstacles with his creativeness, the twins said. The brothers said that before he tried his hand at liquor, their grandfather built various items such as a machine that could tap a phone. They said he would listen in on government telecommunications as a hobby. Aleks Zhdanov said Pichenikin was eventually apprehended for that act, but instead of conviction, his ingenuity landed him a government position where he rose through the ranks to become a lead engineer responsible for building and main-

taining elevators in confidential locations throughout the country. When the soft prohibition took effect under the Gorbachev regime, Pichenikin did not hesitate to put his skill for innovation to work. The Zhdanov brothers learned their grandfather used a recipe that had been handed down in the family based on split peas, resulting from their abundance during a time when other ingredients typically used for alcohol production, such as grain and sugar, were scarce. Surprised, yet impressed by the news of their grandfather’s roots in bootlegging, the brothers formed a business plan for a distillery centered around those stories to pay homage to him. “We found out our grandfather had this whole history,” Maks Zhdanov said. “The best part about this is being able to honor him. “We were never able to meet him because he passed away when we were really young. He was an amazing man and influenced a lot of people around him, so we thought this would be a great way to pay tribute to him and create our own family legacy with this business. “We are not in it to make a quick buck. We don’t want to make this place a quick cash grab in any way. Anything we do, it’s all specific to honoring our grandfather and that time period,” he said. Aleks Zhdanov said he spent years studying the craft of brewing and distillation and has earned certifications in the field. He will serve as 3BR’s head distiller. Maks Zhdanov, the chief financial officer, earned a double master’s degree in international business and finance prior to the distillery’s inception. He worked as a business analyst and as a senior financial analyst and said he learned how to run a company from a financial standpoint.
As the idea gained traction, the brothers recruited several friends with different specializations, but all of whom were tied together by Rutgers University. This team included former college roommate and now botanicalist Robert Mattera; Chief Marketing Officer Yulia Kravchin; and Chief Production Officer Will Proulx. With assistance from family members, friends and multiple investors, the group raised the necessary capital to turn their vision into an attainable goal. As they head down the homestretch toward opening day, the 3BR team members said the business will be ready this winter for customers to enjoy a unique drinking experience, absorb some Soviet history and taste Pichenikin’s secret spirit in addition to vodka, gin and whiskey, all of which will be distilled in-house. “We want everyone coming in to be slapped in the face with the Soviet character,” Aleks Zhdanov said. “I want everyone to be amazed by it, but to realize some of the misconceptions they may have been led to believe about the Soviet Union. The country was viewed as an enemy during the Cold War through U.S. propaganda, but this is actually a fascinating time period with a cool history.” The operators are offering memberships that include certain perks. Maks Zhdanov said, “Supporting 3BR before we open in this way means a great deal to the team. I really believe the membership is worth it and it will only get better as we add more perks and ways to be part of our family.” For more information, email info@3brdistillery.com or visit www.3brdistillery.com

Community ‘Believes in Unicorns’ for Macy’s campaign By KATHY CHANG Staff Writer
OLD BRIDGE – AJ Silvestri, a junior at Old Bridge High School, is teaming up with one of his biggest supporters, Jillian Bresocnik, a fifth grader at Southwood Elementary School, to spearhead his annual letter campaign for Make-A-Wish through Macy’s Believe campaign. Jillian and her sister, Kendall, were among AJ’s biggest supporters. The Bresocnik family wrote and collected more than 15,000 letters over the past several years. Last spring, 7-year-old Kendall was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer. During her brief but fierce battle with the disease, Kendall was granted a wish from the Make-A-Wish Foundation to build a swimming pool in her parent’s backyard. She passed away in May. In a YouTube video, Jillian explains her sister was “a happy silly 7-year-old who went to Southwood Elementary School.” “She loved rainbows and unicorns,” she said, adding they are dedicating the Believe campaign in memory of her sister and changing the name to the “Believe in Unicorns” campaign. AJ, with the help of his supporters from the Old Bridge Township schools, other communities around the state and countries
outside the United States, has collected more than 500,000 letters since 2014. Last year, AJ collected letters as far as Alaska, Hawaii and even New Zealand. Each year he, along with family and friends, drops off boxes spilling over with letters on National Believe Day, at Macy’s in the Brunswick Square Mall in East Brunswick on Dec. 6. This year AJ, along with co-leader Jillian, will spearhead an effort to collect letters via www.macys.com/social/ believe?cm_mmc=crosspromo-_-believe-_-20201026_20201224-_-AJ_Silvestri_NJ&m_sc=crosspromo&m_ s b = b e l i e v e & m _ tp=20201026_20201224&m_pi=AJ_Silvestri_NJ‚ÄØ This year marks the 13th annual Believe campaign between Macy’s and Make-AWish. From the beginning of November through Christmas Eve, “believers” of all ages can mail letters to Santa at the big red letterbox at any Macy’s store or online at macys.com/believe. For every letter received, Macy’s will donate $1 to Make-A-Wish, up to $1 million, to help create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Letters delivered on National Believe Day on Dec. 5 to any Macy’s nationwide
counted for a $2 contribution from Macy’s per letter, up to an additional $1 million, bringing the total campaign to a possible $2 million. Make-A-Wish New Jersey granted AJ a wish when he was eight years old. He has cystic fibrosis, a chronic, progressive and life limiting genetic disease that affects specifically AJ’s lungs and gastrointestinal system, AJ’s mother Kerryann S. Silvestri said. AJ’s wish involved traveling to Las Vegas to meet the cast of “Pawn Stars.” AJ also got to meet the cast of “American Restoration,” a show also on the History Channel. The trip was a week after superstorm Sandy in 2012. With support from the Macy’s Believe campaign, Make-A-Wish provides children with critical illnesses the chance to experience life beyond their illness and see their most heartfelt wish come true, allowing them to replace fear with confidence, anxiety with hope and sadness with joy. Since 2003, Macy’s has donated more than $122 million to Make-A-Wish, including more than $19 million through the annual Believe campaign. Contact Kathy Chang at kchang@newspapermediagroup.com

Gov. signs laws to change use of body worn cameras
Law enforcement to target impaired drivers during holidays
G
aw enforcement officers from the Old Bridge Township Police Department and the Sayreville Police Department will be cracking down on drivers impaired by alcohol or drugs as part of the annual year-end Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over statewide campaign. Through Jan. 1, 2021, local and state law enforcement officers will conduct sobriety checkpoints and roving patrols looking for motorists who may be driving while impaired. The national effort endeavors to raise awareness about the dangers of impaired driving through a combination of high visibility enforcement and public education. The Old Bridge Police Department of-
ov. Phil Murphy has signed two pieces of legislation into law (S1163 and A-4312) which concern the use of body worn cameras by members of law enforcement. Murphy also signed Executive Order No. 201, which establishes a 14-member interagency working group to provide recommendations to the Governor’s Office and Attorney General regarding technology solutions to facilitate the statewide implementation of body worn cameras in law enforcement agencies, according to a Nov. 24 press release from the Governor’s Office. The working group will work to identify barriers to adopting body worn cameras and recommend technology solutions to facilitate their implementation. “We have made it clear that New Jersey will be second to none in enacting vital reforms to promote transparency and boost public confidence in law enforcement,” Murphy said. “Body worn cameras are a wise allaround investment in public safety that not only redoubles our commitment to transparency and accountability, but also ensures that members of law enforcement are equipped with an important tool to help them carry out their sworn duties. “Today represents another step down what we know is a long road to full understanding and lasting trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve,” Murphy said. “We are in the midst of a national reckoning on racial justice, which has highlighted a lack of trust between law enforcement and many of the communities we serve,” New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal said. “Since day one, we have been committed to rebuilding and strengthening that trust, and we know that body worn cameras are an important tool in those efforts. They encourage professionalism, promote better interactions between police and the public, and have been universally welcomed by agencies across our state. “Today, we not only take an important step toward the uniform, statewide use of body worn cameras, but also toward making New Jersey a national leader on yet another set of policing policies and best practices. I thank the Governor and the Legislature for their leadership and support in these efforts,” Grewal said. “Today is a great day for New Jersey law enforcement and the communities we
serve. The statewide implementation of body worn cameras represents an important step in strengthening the bonds of trust between police departments and communities while fostering greater transparency and accountability,” said Col. Patrick J. Callahan, superintendent of the New Jersey State Police. “The New Jersey State Police has learned that recording interactions with the public from patrol vehicles for the last two decades has been a valuable asset in protecting both our citizens and our troopers alike. The addition of body worn camera technology is yet another layer of protection for our men and women in law enforcement and the communities they serve,” Callahan said. “This bill will ensure transparency for both the public and our law enforcement members,” said Pat Colligan, president, New Jersey State Police Benevolent Association. “It will enhance officer safety and help us continue the extraordinarily high level of service we continue to provide the residents of our state.” S-1163 requires every uniformed state, county and municipal patrol law enforcement officer to wear a body worn camera, subject to funding appropriated by the Legislature. Exceptions are permitted for officers engaged in undercover assignments, meeting with confidential informants, performing administrative or non-uniformed duties, and when directed by a superior officer for a lawful purpose, according to the press release. A-4312 regulates the use of body worn cameras by law enforcement officers. Under the bill, officers would be required to keep the camera activated when responding to a call for service or when initiating a law enforcement or investigative encounter. When immediate activation of the camera is impossible or dangerous, an officer would be required to activate the camera at the first reasonable opportunity to do so. Officers would be required to notify subjects the camera is activated and, under certain conditions, may deactivate a camera upon the subject’s request. To protect the privacy of civilians in sensitive situations, the bill limits the use of body worn cameras while officers are on school property, in medical facilities and in houses of worship, according to the press release.
L
fers the following advice, according to information released by the department on Nov. 30: – Take mass transit, a taxi or ask a sober friend to drive you home – Spend the night where the activity is held – If you see an impaired driver on the road, contact law enforcement – Always use a seat belt – If you are intoxicated and traveling on foot, take a cab or ask a sober friend to drive you home – Be responsible. If someone you know is drinking, do not let that person get behind the wheel.

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.
