Hero medic receives second Silver Star for actions in Vietnam
V
ietnam War combat Army medic and Monmouth County resident Bart Fabian has been presented with his second Silver Star medal for actions he took on April 13, 1969. The medal was recently presented to Fabian by U.S Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ). Fabian was a resident of Freehold Township from 1990 to 2019, before he moved to Aberdeen Township. This is the second Silver Star awarded to Fabian. He received his first Silver Star for his heroism during an ambush by the North Vietnamese on Jan. 11, 1969, according to a press release from Smith’s office. Fabian had previously been awarded two Bronze Stars, two Purple Hearts and an Army Commendation Medal with Valor. “Bart ‘Doc’ Fabian is a hero for all ages, earning the Silver Star not once, but twice. He routinely went above and beyond the call, protecting injured soldiers who were under attack,” Smith said. “Mr. Fabian’s actions on April 13, 1969, which account for the second Silver Star, are truly courageous, heroic and the mark of a natural leader.” Smith added, “How does a man under gunfire find that kind of grit to do something absolutely astonishing? We are talking about a man who put his own life at risk, repeatedly, to defend injured soldiers who were being targeted by the enemy. “The record shows he saved 10 U.S. soldiers and stopped two enemy soldiers who were trying to kill wounded GIs. In an era when people admire fictional superheroes and Hollywood stars portraying heroes, Doc Fabian is a genuine uncontested hero.” After more than two years of Smith working with the Army, Secretary of the Army Ryan D. McCarthy ordered Fabian to be recognized “For gallantry in action against an armed enemy of the United States” while serving in his outfit, Troop A, 1st Squadron, 11th Armored Calvary Regiment, II Field Force Vietnam. Recounting that April day, Fabian said the battle raged on for 90 minutes. He lost six from his troop, including one of his closest buddies, and 19 in total, including the other medic. “We got beat up pretty bad that day,”

Vietnam War combat Army medic and Monmouth County resident Bart Fabian, right, is presented with his second Silver Star medal by Congressman Chris Smith. The medal honors Fabian for actions he took in combat on April 13, 1969.
Fabian said. “It was a bad day for the good guys.” The day after the battle, Fabian’s commander said he would be recommended for the Silver Star, but it never came, according to the press release. “I decided to forget about it,” Fabian said. “I didn’t want to promote myself. It was a bad day. The next day we were right back in it.” That changed in 2018 at a reunion with fellow veterans who urged him to seek the medal, according to the press release. A family member contacted Smith and asked the congressman to help look into the matter. Smith helped coordinate eye-
witness statements from Sgt. John J. Sorich III, Sgt. Joseph L. Coopet Jr. and Lt. Col. Richard A. Belcher, according to the press release. The Silver Star is awarded to a person who, while serving in the U.S. Army, is cited for gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force. The required gallantry must have been performed with marked distinction, according to the press release. Members of the awards board unanimously recommended approval, with some making handwritten notations of Fabian’s
actions. Wrote Lt. Gen. John W. Woodmansee Jr., who also saw combat in Vietnam, ” ‘Doc’ Fabian joins the illustrious list of medics who risk their lives saving others. … The award of the Silver Star is certainly deserved. … On 13 April 1969 he saved numerous lives in the middle of a battle … an incredible display of courage and competence. When we sing the National Anthem, we are singing about those ‘Doc’ Fabians in our ranks.” Brig. Gen John W. Nicholson (ret.) said, “He treated more than 10 wounded

Explore the wilds of the Jersey shore during the summer
F
or most folks, globe-trotting vacations and cross-country road trips are out this year due to travel restrictions and quarantines. Instead, “staycations” within the Garden State seem to be the new fad. If you haven’t explored New Jersey from top to bottom, now’s the time to discover the treasures of this small, but diverse state. Have you really seen the Jersey shore? Of course, every self-respecting New Jerseyan knows about the state’s 130 miles of ocean beaches stretching from Sandy Hook to Cape May, and probably has a favorite spot for swimming and catching rays. But most haven’t ventured into the shore’s quiet places – maritime forests, marshes, wetlands and bays – where nature reigns. Natural land at the highly developed Jersey shore is rare, which makes those locations all the more important for birds, wildlife and native plants, and all the more special for human visitors. Starting in the north, check out these special spots. I bet you will be surprised. Some bayside locations are notorious for biting flies in summer, so it’s best to pick a cooler day with a northwest breeze for those visits. • Mount Mitchill – Did you know New Jersey is home to the highest point on the Atlantic coast south of Maine? At 266 feet, this rocky overlook in Atlantic Highlands is the highest natural elevation along the coast between Maine and Rio de Janeiro. Enjoy the stunning views of Sandy Hook, Sandy Hook Bay, Raritan Bay and the New York skyline. Named for Samuel Mitchill, an 18th and 19th century physician and naturalist,

But you don’t have to be an expert birder to appreciate the beauty of the landscape. The 8-mile auto loop through the main section of this 47,000-acre refuge in Oceanville, Atlantic County, is one of the prettiest drives in New Jersey, with views of maritime forests and seemingly endless marshland. There are many places to pull off the road for a closer view, so bring binoculars. • Wetlands Institute – To learn why it’s important to preserve brackish marshes – those with a mix of salt and fresh water – drop by the Wetlands Institute in Stone Harbor. There are plenty of observation opportunities from the boardwalk over the marsh; treat yourself to an eco-tour of the marshes and back bays aboard The Skimmer, the Institute’s pontoon boat. • Cape May – A visit to the Cape May peninsula is a must for birders and nature lovers. The peninsula has extensive preserved lands, including Cape May Point State Park and the adjacent South Cape May Meadows, a Nature Conservancy preserve. There is an impressive trail system with great wildlife viewing, natural beaches and the Cape May lighthouse. Around the corner is Sunset Beach, where you can watch the sun drop over the waters of the Delaware Bay.

Volunteers needed to support victims of domestic violence Domestic violence does not stop during times of crisis. In fact, when stressors increase, violence and abuse can quickly escalate. For many victims, staying at home means being isolated with someone who is harming them, according to a press release from 180 Turning Lives Around.
For 44 years, 180, a private, nonprofit organization in Monmouth County, has provided confidential support and advocacy to victims of domestic violence with the assistance of its dedicated response team volunteers at police headquarters throughout Monmouth County, according to the press release.

Back To The Booth By Paul Hall
T
wo years ago, we were treated to The Kissing Booth, a sweet little romantic comedy for the teenage crowd that found an audience at Netflix. So much so that a sequel was created with much of the original cast and director Vince Marcello back for another crack at things with The Kissing Booth 2, now on Netflix. Our sequel does a good job of catching viewers up on where the first film left off in the first 90 seconds or so of this effort, but if you are on Netflix, you can of course stream the whole thing before you start here, or just dive right in to the sequel. Lead Elle Evans (Joey King) is now a senior in high school. Her crush from the first film — spoiler alert — hunky Noah (Jacob Elordi) has moved on to Harvard. Even so, Elle tells us the two spent the whole summer together and it was glori-
ous. But now, as she starts her senior year with her boyfriend across the country from her in Boston, how does she handle the long-distance relationship? Long-distance relationships rarely work and are fraught with peril, and that is exactly what happens to Elle and Noah. Should the relationship continue, or will jealousy and fear rule the equation? But Elle’s relationship with her bestie Lee (Joel Courtney) is having its own problems as Lee’s girlfriend Rachel (Meganne Young) feels like the third wheel. Also enter new hunky guy Marco (Taylor Zakhar Perez) to the mix to add relationship issues for all of these friends, and, as you can imagine, drama, laughs and romance abound as navigating school becomes secondary for these kids. If you aren’t confused and find yourself mildly intrigued by the above narrative, The Kissing Booth 2 just may be for you. The fact is, the film is a pleasant story focusing on surviving relationship issues that pop up with many of today’s
youth. The music works and fits the story, and the young men and women are quite beautiful, hence why I found myself using the word “hunky” twice in writing about the film. This is a film that 16-year-old me would love to have fallen upon and blissfully enjoyed. But as an adult now, there are faults to the sequel. It is too long; The Kissing Booth 2 really needed to be trimmed back under the two-hour mark. The film also needed to focus a bit. Although the characters were interesting, the stories needed to hone in and not deal with seemingly everything the characters experience in their senior year relationships. Despite the film’s faults, I enjoyed King’s performance and the characters and actors who exist here. The whole thing feels like it was genuinely better
suited for a television series than a film, but I’ll take what we get, as that is passing in my book. Sure, a kissing booth seems unlikely anymore in life, but close your eyes and remember back to the easier times from the beginning of this year. The Kissing Booth 2 reminds us love is real, friendship is real and our lives go on, no matter what is thrown at us. Sometimes it is OK to just love and be loved. Paul’s Grade: C+ The Kissing Booth 2 Rated TV-14 Stars: Joey King, Joel Courtney, Jacob Elordi Director: Vince Marcello Available now on Netflix
Will there really be new episodes to watch this fall? Question: With the coronavirus epidemic and social distancing, will there be any new TV episodes this fall? —C Brown Matt Roush: A fair and simply put question, but it’s an impossible one to address simply if at all at this moment in time. There will be a semblance of a fall schedule, but how many returning scripted favorites will be back in business by the traditional premiere weeks of late September and early October remains to be seen. Given the dire current situation across much of the country as we inch towards August, when most productions would be underway, I’d expect we’ll see a significant delay in getting new episodes ready for air on many prime-time shows, as they figure out how to proceed with rigorous safety protocols among other complicating factors.
Question: With Jimmy Kimmel taking the summer off of Jimmy Kimmel Live, do you think it’s real/legit, or he’s just taking 2-3 weeks off? My guess is that it’s ultimately ABC’s decision. Have you heard anything? —AR Matt Roush: I see no reason to find anything sinister in Jimmy’s summer hiatus. There’s a long tradition — maybe not so much in recent times — of guest hosts filling in for the star, though maybe not quite of this duration, but it’s not really as revolutionary as it might seem.

“yes” on a motion to adopt the ordinance on July 14. In 2019, the council adopted an ordinance that established a fund for such sponsorships. The ordinance officials adopted on July 14 will establish the cost of the sponsorships and commemorative benches so money can be placed in the fund.

subsequent annual sponsorships. A sign at the park or playground will identify the sponsor. Donated funds would be used to maintain parks and playground equipment, recreational sports facilities services, benches, picnic tables and equipment, according to the ordinance. Donations will not be credited toward local, county or any other property tax, but the account will provide for donations that are income tax deductible for the sponsors. The ordinance defines a park sponsorship as an annual donation for an entire park or a section of a park. Sponsorships may be for playground areas, dog parks, snack stands, pavilions, walking trails, sports fields and courts. A bench sponsorship will include a commemorative plaque on the bench. The fee to dedicate each new bench will be $1,100, plus the cost of the bench. The fee to sponsor an entire park for the first time and have a large sign placed at the main entrance for two years will be $5,000. The fee for each subsequent year will be $2,500. The fee to sponsor a dog park or a playground area for the first time and have a sign placed at the entrance for two years will be $2,500. The fee for each subsequent year will be $1,250. The fee to sponsor a sports field, sports
court or trail and have a sign placed at the entrance for two years will be $1,500. The fee for each subsequent year will be $750. All fees will be paid to the township’s parks and playgrounds fund, according to the ordinance. Kern, who chairs the Recreation Committee, said it was wonderful the Jackson Little League sent a letter recognizing and praising the job done by the township’s staff. “Over the past few weeks, members of this council in conjunction with the mayor’s administration have been working very hard. We are hopeful that we will be able to share the fruit of that work soon,” Kern said. He said he initiated the park sponsorship endeavor in 2019 with the creation of the account to hold donated funds. That account is separate from Jackson’s general fund. “With this (July 14) ordinance, families and businesses will be able to sponsor a playground, a field or a court, and (have) a plaque with their name at the entrance. Most importantly, this program will help raise funds for parks and playgrounds without raising additional taxes,” Kern said. “Congratulations to Councilman Kern, this is a great ordinance and it continues his focus on parks and recreation,” Sauickie said.
House party under investigation HOWELL – The Howell Police Department is investigating the circumstances into how a crowd of 300 people were in attendance at a house party in the Ramtown section of the municipality on the afternoon of Aug. 9. According to a press release, officers responded to a home on Wilson Drive to disperse hundreds of people who were attending what police described as a “popup” party. Most of the attendees were compliant, while some were hesitant to comply with police and others were directing their anger toward the host who charged admission to the event, according to the press release. Police said the attendees, most of whom
were not from the area, eventually left the area without incident. The party’s host was arrested, but the charges that were lodged against that individual were not listed in the press release. Howell police said an investigation into the incident will continue. Mutual aid at the scene of the party was provided by police departments from nearby towns, and by the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office, the Ocean County Sheriffs Office and the New Jersey State Police. The incident in Howell occurred two weeks after a party at a rented home in Jackson attracted a crowd estimated at 700 people to a residential neighborhood.

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA
2020 Nissan Titan
O
ne of the quickest and easiest car buying decisions I ever made was quite a few years back – if my memory serves me correctly, probably around 1994 or so. It was one of the hottest days of the year and I was driving an old beater Chevrolet Caprice with no air conditioning. I said to myself, “Self, this car has to go and go quickly.” I pulled into the first “buy here, pay here” used car lot on Route 130 in Edgewater Park Peter Perrotta I could find – conveniently located across the street from the newspaper where I worked. Two hours later, I was driving off the lot in a jet black 1984 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 coupe – one of the finest cars I ever owned – with ice cold air blowing right into my sweaty face. That Caprice was a distant memory. About five minutes after pulling out of that used car lot with this hot rod Camaro, I noticed something else I had never witnessed in a car before. That 5.7-liter V-8 engine liked to drink gas. You could actually see the gas gauge moving toward empty every time you stepped on the accelerator. I don’t know what the EPA gas mileage rating on this car was, but I could tell you this, you didn’t pass too many gas stations between fill ups. I only bring this up because driving this week’s On The Road review car – a 2020 Nissan Titan pickup truck – kind of brought back some old fond memories of that Camaro. I believe this memory jog happened for two reasons. First off, while I liked the 2020 Titan, overall, it doesn’t have the most impressive EPA gas mileage ratings – sporting a 17 miles per gallon overall average. Secondly, the size of the engine on this Titan is eerily similar to that of the Camaro. All five available Titan trim levels come with a standard 5.6-liter, V-8 naturally aspirated engine. That Camaro sported a 5.7-liter, naturally aspirated V-8 engine. The 5.6-liter, V-8 on the Titan produces 400 horsepower and 413 pound feet of torque and pairs with a nine-speed automatic transmission.
The Nissan Titan full-size pickup undergoes an extensive redesign for the 2020 model year.
This engine isn’t shy. “I really like the way this truck feels when you accelerate,” my son quipped one day when he tagged along for a ride. For 2020, Nissan offers the mildly redesigned Titan in five different trim levels: the base S (starting at $37,785); SV ($41,585); Pro 4X ($49,790); SL ($55,585) and the Platinum Reserve ($60,285). The tester I drove for a week featured the Pro 4X option packages, which are quite attractive. This pickup has a rugged, off-road stance and capabilities. However, this off-road gingerbread package doesn’t come cheap. While the base price of my Pro-4X model is $49,790, my test vehicle came loaded with $8,795 worth of options that included: a $2,190 Pro 4X utility package; $3,390 for a Pro 4X convenience package and $1,490 for a Pro 4X moonroof package. All totaled, when you add up all the options and destination and delivery, the bottom line sticker price of this rig comes in at $60,180. Some of the items included in the utility package include: front and rear parking sensors; tie down cleats; power slide rear window with defrost; a Fender premium 10 speaker upgraded audio system; and an electronic looking tailgate. Some of the items in the convenience package include: leather appointed seats
with contrasting stitching; heated and cooled front seats; heated steering wheel with power tilt; remote engine start and an intelligent around view monitor. The overall stance and rugged look of the Pro 4X model is quite impressive. While this pickup packs plenty of power and is quite rugged and attractive looking, it won’t win any awards for its athletic prowess when it comes to handling. This truck is big and bold and a handful to handle. Moreover, if you are planning a trip into the city, you better have plans for where to park this monster. The Titan is a whopping 228 inches long, 80 inches wide and stands 77 inches tall. That’s a lot of truck to try and park. Last Sunday, my wife and I sojourned into Philly to try and visit Ikea. When we arrived, there was a COVID-19 induced line of about 200 people long waiting to enter this popular place, all standing outside in near 100 degree heat. We both decided the wait wasn’t worth it and quickly Googled up some alternative furniture stores nearby. All the stores, she picked – of course – were located in either South Philly or Center City. I told her there was no way I was going to try and park this thing in the narrow confines of the South Philly or Center City streets and we promptly headed back to South Jersey. The 2020 Titan has not been crash test
rated by the federal Department of Transportation. When it comes to the significant tow and payload ratings for this pickup the Titan’s maximums are not as impressive as either the Chevy Silverado or the Ford F-150. This Titan can tow up to 9,660 pounds, which should be enough to meet the needs of most owners. As far as visibility, comfort and interior ergonomics go, I think the Titan is just as impressive as the Silverado and F-150. The Titan’s 9-inch infotainment touch screen center console command center was above average. I found it fairly easy to sync up my phone, iPod music and use the navigation system. The voice command system in this Titan was below average, however. It employs a system of commands that unless you say what you want it to do exactly how it is programmed to receive it, it won’t understand your command. A software upgrade to improve this system is in order. Overall, I must say, I have to give the Titan generally high marks. I don’t think it is going to displace the kingpin Silverado and F-150 just yet, but it is worth considering if you are shopping for a full-sized pickup.

TRI-TOWN NEWS 9
Jackson’s Barney earns career first Wall Stadium Modified win WALL TOWNSHIP – Driving the bright red No. 14 for “Team 14,” one of the most famous and successful racing teams in Wall Stadium Speedway’s 70-year history, Blake Barney of Jackson raced to his career first Modified stock car victory in the 40-lap race on Aug. 8. Barney’s victory came on the evening when the speedway’s loyal followers honored the memory of photographer J.J. Lane, who passed away from natural causes during the off-season, according to a press release. Tyler Truex of Mayetta jumped to the early lead as Brick Township’s Dom Fattaruso ran second. Barney had advanced to third place by the 10-lap mark and vaulted into second just past the halfway point of the race. Lap 30 offered the final caution of he event when Robert French of Howell and Holmdel’s Andrew Krause tangled in turn three. Lining up to the outside of Truex on the rolling restart, Barney made the outside lane work and powered to the lead for good. Truex crossed the finish line second, but lost the position when it was found during post-race inspection that his team had mistakenly bolted on a tire that was not recorded in the team’s tire bank. That elevated Howell’s Jimmy Blewett to second, with defending champ Steven Reed of Jackson, Fattaruso and Brick Township’s Eddie McCarthy rounding out the top five. “I want to thank my mother, my father and grandfather for all they have done for me,” Barney said in the winner’s circle.
“I knew I was stepping into some big shoes when I started to drive this car. It is an honor to drive for a team that has had so many great drivers. “The car is working real well on the outside here. I knew if I could get up to second I would have a chance,” he said. With just one early caution flag slowing the test, Neptune City’s Bryan O’Shea used power and handling to race from an 11th starting spot to win his third straight 25-lapper for the Factory Stocks. Early race leader Kevin Flores of Brick Township and Howell’s Brian Osborn crossed the finish line second and third, but lost those spots after post-race inspections. Billy Both of Rahway and Howell’s John Carpenter then wrapped up the top three, while Mike Montano of Freeport, N.Y., and Scott Riggleman on Manchester were fourth and fifth. After suffering through bad fortunes in the first two events of the season, Jarret DiGiantomasso raced to victory in the Sportsman 25-lapper. Brick Township’s Robert Sutphin was runner-up, with Manahawkin’s Jake Nelke, Lanoka Harbor’s Jonathan Laureigh and Neil Rutt III of Edison third through fifth. Mike Alcaro took the lead on an early restart and raced on to his first Legend Cars 25-lap win of the year. Waldwick’s Quinn Trimmer, Little Silver’s Peter Bruno, Colin Milroy and Eugene Drew were second through fifth. Buddy Sload won the 25-lap main event for the traveling TQ Midgets, with Joey Bailey, Ryan Tidman, Kyle Taraska and Jeff Kott the remainder of the top five.
ON CAMPUS James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Va., announced that the following students were named to the dean’s list for the 2020 spring semester: Megan MacWilliams of Howell, Madison Smith of Howell, Callie Wixon of Howell, Gabriella Tormey of Howell and Cory Friedman of Jackson. James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Va., announced that the following students were named to the president’s list (minimum 3.9 GPA) for the 2020 spring semester: Kasey Finnigan of Howell and Brianna Salameh of Howell. Quinnipiac University, Hamden, Conn., has named Howell residents Bryan Ho, Sarah Johnson, Melanie Lugo, Hannah Lukas, Alexander Morton, Alexis Tahinos and Briana Wyman to the dean’s list for the 2020 spring semester. Quinnipiac University, Hamden, Conn., announced that three residents of Howell have earned degrees: H Lauren Maher, Master of Health Science in occupational therapy, Matthew Morton, Bachelor of Science in health science studies, and Elyssa Wrubel, Bachelor of Arts in English.
Wall Stadium’s 2020 season will continue on Aug. 15 with the Modifieds competing in the annual running of the 125-lap Garden State Classic. Factory Stocks, 4-Cylinder Stocks and Limited Late Models will also see action in 25-lap main events.
The pit area will open at 12:30 p.m. Grandstands will open at 4:30 p.m., qualifying starts at 5:30 p.m. and main event action starts at 7 p.m. Wall Stadium is on Route 34, Wall Township. The speedway hotline number is 732-681-6400.
