Flemming, Chisholm, Borrelli take oaths in Jackson By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer
M
artin Flemming, Steve Chisholm Jr. and Nino Borrelli were sworn in as members of the Jackson Township Council during the Jan. 5 reorganization meeting of the governing body. The three men were elected to four-year terms on the council in the Nov. 3 municipal election. Flemming and Chisholm were already serving on the council after having been appointed to open seats. Borrelli served as a member of the Jackson Zoning Board of Adjustment in 2020. Jackson has a nonpartisan form of municipal government and the candidates did not run under the banner of a political party. During the annual proceedings that mark the start of the new year of business for the municipal government, Councilman Andrew Kern was unanimously elected by his fellow council members to serve as council president in 2021. Flemming was unanimously elected to serve as council vice president. Borelli congratulated Kern and Flemming for achieving their leadership positions and went on to say, “I am thankful to God for putting this passion in me for politics and public service, wanting to give back to the community I live in.” He said he is honored to serve as a councilman. “I look forward to working hard for residents, as their Jackson representative; working with people who are dedicated to doing the right thing by a wonderful town. “All my fellow council members … are guys who grew up in Jackson. I will always be a kid from Brick and I am proud of my beach boy roots, but I am a Jackson guy now and I am proud of it,” Borelli said. The councilman said his father, Tony Borelli, passed away about 20 years ago, but settled in Jackson and lived on his aunt’s farming after immigrating to the
United States from Italy. Borelli said he looks forward to governing on the platform he campaigned on and won on. “Conservative leadership and putting Jackson first. Working on priorities and initiatives like protecting valuable open space from high density development. We want to keep our town as rural and suburban as possible. Also, protecting the many beautiful resources we have, like our environment and our parks,” Borelli said. He said maintaining Jackson’s credit rating remains a priority. “Keeping municipal taxes and spending in check is always going to be a top priority of ours. And working with our local businesses as they get up and running from the COVID-19 pandemic. “Most importantly, we will stand with our police officers and first responders to help them keep Jackson safe and secure and protect the quality of life we enjoy in Jackson,” Borelli said. Borelli quoted President Andrew Jackson, the township’s namesake who was a founding member of the Democratic Party and said, “Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.” He said he is looking forward to working with Mayor Michael Reina, the administration and the coucil. Chisholm said, “It is great to be up here as an elected official as opposed to an appointed member. I am looking forward to the next four years, just serving the people of Jackson.” Councilman Alexander Sauickie thanked the members of the governing body for their assistance in 2020 during the pandemic. “Welcome to 2021 everybody and thank you all for all of your assistance last year. I know it was a rough year for most of the world and I think we are all looking forward to a much more happy and
healthy new year. Congratulations to the new councilmen who were elected in their own right, (I am) really looking forward to working with all of you this coming year,” Sauickie said. Sauickie, who served as council president in 2020, said residents should feel good about the new council. “Special congratulations to our new council vice president, Marty Flemming, and especially to my good friend, council President Andrew Kern. The town should feel really good about a council that has some experience under its belt, that I think will listen to the residents, and that will be
working for you in lockstep. Maybe for the first time in a while, I really believe we have a very strong council that is going to do the best for the residents of this town,” Sauickie said. In his remarks, Flemming said, “It does feel different to have been elected than to be appointed, although both are a great honor.” He congratulated Kern and said he believes they will work well together. “I think we put together a pretty good team. Like (Sauickie) said, we work as a group and I think that is going to show. I

whether we needed a scout leader, a youth sports coach, a ďŹ rst responder, a Chamber of Commerce leader or a land use board member. These wonderful individuals who serve with me today have always answered the call,â€? he said. Kern thanked Sauckie for his service as council president during 2020 and he thanked residents for approving an increase in Jackson’s open space tax rate that will “give us additional resources to protect as much of our precious lands as possible.â€? “The council has much work ahead of us in 2021. Our community needs a chance to reboot and to reconnect after being apart
for most of 2020. “Our local businesses, our civic organizations and many of our residents need help recovering from the impact of the shutdowns and restrictions that were unduly and disproportionately imposed by Gov. Murphy. “We will work diligently this year on behalf of our current residents, the people who elected us, to do everything in our power to protect our beloved town, to protect our watersheds from pollution and overuse, to protect our wetlands from over-development and our residents from increased trafďŹ c,â€? Kern said.

YOUR TURN
Nature in New Jersey is quite busy during winter
W
inter may seem quiet, almost like nature is taking a break. But is this true? Many animals are hibernating, lots of birds have fled to the south and plants are dormant. But you might be surprised at all of nature’s activity in winter in this state we’re in. Every day for the next six months, we will gain a couple of additional minutes of daylight. The increasing daylight signals to the natural world that although it’s cold – and will remain so for months – spring is already on its way. You may have noticed bald eagles carrying twigs and grass. Bald eagles are New Jersey’s early birds, responding quickly to changes in daylight by starting an early mating season. In the chill of winter, eagles are among the first birds – along with great horned owls – to build nests and lay eggs. Right now, eagles in New Jersey are gathering materials to build or repair nests, many of which are used by the same pair for years. A few females have even started laying eggs. The first bald eagle chicks of 2021 will begin hatching in late February and early March. How can bald eagles nest so early, when it seems like the cold would be lethal to the eggs and young? The answer is that males and females are active parents, working cooperatively to keep eggs and babies warm at all times. While one hunts, the other sits on the nest. The incubation and nesting period for bald eagles is long, so starting early may give them an advantage. By the time chicks are ready to fly and hunt in the spring, food sources like fish, small mammals and waterfowl will be more plentiful. Great horned owls also mate early for the same reasons. On winter nights when all is still and quiet, you can often hear great horned owls hooting mating calls to each other from the tops of tall trees.

that glow in the sunlight. Why are beech and oak leaves still hanging on when most trees have long since shed their leaves? Amazingly enough, this may be an adaptation by the trees to protect tender young buds from animals that would munch them. Dried leaves on branches might look unappealing enough to browsing herbivores that they might bypass beeches and oaks in favor of trees with more accessible buds. Is this due to deer? Probably not, since deer have a short reach and beech and oak leaves can be seen on branches 15 to 20 feet high. Dr. Emile DeVito, the New Jersey Conservation Foundation’s staff biologist and naturalist, points out that only a few thousand years ago, the beech forests of North America were inhabited by giant ground sloths, long since extinct. Giant ground sloths could reach as high as elephants and were able to nip buds from high branches. Since a few thousand years is the blink of an eye in evolution, trees would not have had much time to respond to the disappearance of giant ground sloths. Enjoy nature’s unique sights and sounds this winter. Spring may seem far away, but nature’s timeless cycles are reason for hope.

Berger, O’Donnell begin serving new four-year terms By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer
HOWELL – Democrat Theresa Berger and Republican Evelyn O’Donnell were sworn in to begin serving new four-year terms on Howell’s governing body during the Jan. 5 reorganization meeting. Berger, who will begin serving her second term as mayor, congratulated O’Donnell, who will begin serving her second term as a councilwoman. In Howell’s form of government, residents directly elect the mayor, who serves as a member of the five-person Township Council. Berger and O’Donnell are joined on the council by Democrat John Bonevich and Republicans Thomas Russo and Pamela Richmond. In her mayoral address, Berger said, “To the citizens of Howell, thank you for your confidence which was evident with an overwhelming re-election. I will work hard to fulfill our dreams of good, positive development, and maintain your trust. “I look forward to working with the governing body and the township professionals, and tackling issues of transparency, over-development, (issues with) Optimum/Cablevision (service), open space and bipartisanship, which is the only way we should govern our town. We should run this town by voting for the betterment of Howell as a whole,” Berger said. Berger said she fought for a flat municipal budget for the last four years, but, un-
fortunately, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic there are obstacles preventing that from happening. “I fully intend to continue to set budget goals to prevent taxes from increasing,” Berger said. She thanked Police Chief Andrew Kudrick, the police department and the community’s first responders for their efforts during a year that was filled with COVID issues and raging storms. “And our Department of Public Works, which seamlessly has dug us out of snowstorms and picked up a ton of downed trees. I look forward to working with both departments in the future. (When) we all work together, our community thrives,” Berger said. During 2020 while residents dealt with the pandemic, the mayor said, “We were able to start a farmer’s market which was very successful. I would hope council would work with me to expand the market to be a year round program and open it up to different types of efforts. “I look forward to having more community events, obviously once we have a handle on COVID. Those (events) should include music, food trucks, possibly turning Howell Day into an Octoberfest, and hopefully bringing in a beer garden. “Events such as these are important to our residents. It allows a sense of community to grow as you recover from the past year,” Berger said.
IN THE SERVICE U.S. Navy Logistics Specialist 1st Class David Kerley, a native of Jackson, bid farewell to the officers and crew after completing a successful two-year tour aboard USS Constitution in Boston, Mass., Dec. 3. Kerley has served in the Navy for 14 years and his previous duty stations were the USS Carter Hall (LSD 50), Naval Supply Fleet Logistics Center, Norfolk, Va., and USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78).
NEWS BRIEFS Recognizing the bravery and commitment of volunteer firefighters and first responders, New Jersey American Water has announced its 2021 grant program for volunteer fire departments and emergency responders (e.g., ambulance and first aid squads) located within the company’s service areas. Grants may be used to cover the costs of personal protective equipment, communications gear, first aid equipment, firefighting tools, vehicle maintenance and other materials that will be used to support volunteer firefighter and emergency responder operations, according to a press release. To apply, organizations must complete the online application, located at www.newjerseyamwater.com, under News & Community, Community Involvement. The maximum grant amount awarded to any organization is $2,000 and the deadline to apply is March 12. Find more information and apply online at www.newjerseyam water.com/community. Grant recipients will be notified at the end of March. Letters to the editor may be sent to news@thetritownnews.com. Letters should be limited to 250 words. All submissions may be edited for length, grammar, content and libelous statements.
The mayor said one of her goals in a second term is to establish a mentoring program with professionals who can work with Howell High School students. She said high school administrators have been receptive to the idea. Berger said she would like to work with the Chamber of Commerce to look at new and innovative ways to bring businesses to Howell, and to start a “Shop Howell” program that would help existing businesses. “I believe it is more important than ever (for residents) to get involved with the Township Council. I need your voices to be heard when we make decisions for our town. Please attend meetings and have your voices heard. “In these hard times, I believe we must continue to support our Howell families in need; please continue to donate to the food pantry. Let’s remember our seniors and veterans who still might need help with shopping or getting their medications,” the mayor said. In conclusion, Berger addressed several areas in Howell that need upgrading. “Strip malls with no businesses in them, roads in need of repair; because of this I want to convene a committee of members of each (area of the township), so we can
discuss how a project in one area affects our entire town. I will have more details to come on that,” she said. Berger said it has been an honor to serve as mayor for four years and said she has been humbled by being re-elected. “To the citizens of Howell who want to grow our town responsibly, I will continue to support you and I thank you for investing yourself to ensure we keep our rural charm by keeping the needs of our community above developers,” Berger said. O’Donnell said as Howell moves forward, she is happy to have served on the council for four years and is looking forward to the next four years as a member of the governing body. “I think we are quite a unique community. I know this is the first evening of the rest of Howell’s future and together many things can happen, and many things will happen. Many projects are underway, many projects are still to come,” she said. O’Donnell thanked her family and everyone who stood by her during the race. “I would encourage everyone to think of Howell as being on the verge of a new beginning, because certainly 2021 is a new beginning. So thank you very much,” the councilwoman said.

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA
2021 Nissan Altima 2.5 Platinum AWD
W
hen it comes to Nissan’s Altima – their best-selling sedan – my household is no stranger. When my wife first started to drive, we purchased a pre-owned Altima (1998) that served us well. That vehicle was passed down to my 22-year-old son when he first started to drive. It logged over 150,000 miles without asking for much. After laying the ’98 to rest, we purchased a 2011 pre-owned Altima, Peter Perrotta several years ago, which we still own and love. That car still runs strong. It only has about 88,000 miles on it and has never needed much maintenance. Needless to say, my family is a big fan of the Altima. Recently, I jumped behind the wheel of a brand new Altima to see what the latest version of this popular mid-sized sedan was offering these days. The vehicle I tested for one week is the 2021 Nissan Altima 2.5 Platinum AWD sedan. The Altima got a fresh new top-to-bottom and inside out redesign two years ago. That look still carries with the 2021 models. The top-of-the-line Platinum edition carries a base price of $34,100. My tester stickered at $36,745. Additional options added to my tester included: $205 for splash guards; $395 for premium paint (Pearl White); $300 for floor mats, trunk mat and a hideaway net; $400 for illuminated kick plates; $420 for rear spoiler and $925 for destination and delivery. When it comes to which model Altima to choose, there are several options. “Enhancements for the 2021 model year include revised grade level content, with the SR grade now slotted above the SV,” says a release from Nissan. “This brings the lineup order of S, SV, SR and Platinum in line with the other Nissan sedans. There is also the addition of a new SV premium package.” The Altima is offered with two different engine choices – a 2.0 liter, 4 cylinder variable compression turbo engine which generates about 248 horsepower and a standard
2021 Nissan Altima 2.5 Platinum AWD
2.5 liter, 4 cylinder (non turbo) that gets about 188 horsepower. Both engines are paired with Nissan’s continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). My tester was equipped with the 2.5 engine. I found the 2.5 to be adequate enough for around town driving. I was a bit disappointed in its performance when I tried to push it when I needed to make an aggressive passing move or needed it to accelerate for getting on the interstate. However, that being said, I tend to be more of an aggressive driver. For someone who drives more conservatively – like my wife – this engine and power is more than adequate. My overall impression of the fairly newly redesigned Altima is that it is a very competent mid-sized sedan that checks a lot of the right boxes. It has an attractive appearance, inside and out. The exterior is more up-to-date looking and sportier and more aggressive looking. The inside is plenty comfortable and roomy and offers enough attractive ergonomics to make it appealing to most. The overall ride and handling is above
average. The steering is smooth and easy. It handles and corners well and takes bumps without much jostling. The only thing I would add here is this: For me, the Altima doesn’t provide a tremendous “Wow!” factor – if that’s what you’re looking for. And, mind you, not everyone cares about a “Wow!” factor for their cars. Most people are content with a good, solid car that checks a lot of the aforementioned boxes. And, this car does do that. The folks over at Car and Driver gave the 2021 Altima high marks for having a “quiet and efficient standard powertrain, spacious and comfy cabin and available four-wheel drive.” Car and Driver knocked the Altima because they said its turbo engine was not compatible with its all-wheel drive system, had brittle ride quality and wasn’t as engaging as its top rivals (Honda and Mazda). I didn’t drive the turbo engine Altima so I can’t comment there. Car and Driver’s overall verdict hits at my “Wow!” factor comment. “The Altima has some unique options and sporty characteristics, but it doesn’t inspire like the
segment’s best,” says the editor at Car and Driver. Well, I’m not sure I totally agree with that comment. I don’t find the Honda Accord or the Mazda 6 all that inspiring either. Like the Altima, both are very competent mid-sized sedans with good track records for reliability, but their “Wow!” factor is about the same as the Altima, if you ask me. The Altima I drove for one week has an EPA gas mileage rating of 29 miles per gallon overall – 35 miles per gallon in highway driving and 29 mpg in city driving. The EPA estimates that the Altima will cost about $1,400 per year to run on fuel as it uses about 3.4 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. The Altima received impressive results in the government’s 5-star safety ratings crash test. It got 5 stars for its overall vehicle score.
