Berger, Brennan in race for Howell mayor’s seat By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer

COURTESY OF MONMOUTH COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE

Human and canine staff members at the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office will be wearing pink in October during Breast Cancer Awarness Month.

County sheriff’s office goes pink for breast cancer awareness

he Monmouth County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce is supporting the ﬁght against breast cancer by going pink during October to recognize and draw attention to Breast Cancer Awareness Month. “It’s vital that we show our support to such a serious illness and continue to bring awareness to this important cause,” Sheriff

Shaun Golden said in a press release. “Many people are either indirectly or directly affected by this devastating disease and we are dedicated to reinforcing the message of supporting the ﬁght against breast cancer,” he said. (Continued on page 12)

emocrat Theresa Berger and Republican Suzanne M. Brennan are running for a four-year term as Howell’s mayor in the November 2020 election. Berger is seeking her second four-year term as Howell’s mayor. She is joined on the Democratic ticket by Township Council candidate Andre de Garmeaux. Brennan, a former member of the Howell K-8 School District Board of Education, is seeking her first term as mayor. She is joined on the Republican ticket by Evelyn O’Donnell, who is a current member of the Township Council. The Howell Township Council candidates are profiled in a separate article. In seeking a second term as mayor, Berger said, “My top priority is to stop the building. If we plan properly, we can control over-development. “Our opponents welcomed developers into our town and gave them everything they wanted. This must stop. We need to elect people who will stand up to the developers instead of welcoming them to our town. “I have been working during my first four years to increase our sense of community. One of our biggest successes is the new Howell farmers market that we started this summer and extended into the fall. “The farmers market has dozens of vendors, music, food and crafts in a place where residents can shop safely and enjoy the day,” Berger said.

She said she is planning to initiate a summer concert series in Soldier Memorial Park, adding, “Businesses are eager to sponsor these community events and the costs would be minimal.” Berger said the Howell police force as currently constituted is understaffed according to recommended state standards and said, “We need to give our police the resources and support they need to do their job. ” … We need to hire several police ofﬁcers, but the Republican majority has blocked my efforts to hire them. We also need to replace our outdated communications towers so our police and ﬁrst responders will have reliable communications in an emergency. “It’s a lot to get done and I can’t do it alone. The current council has actively blocked me when I worked to curb

Environmental justice: Clean and green in every community

rowing up in Camden, Olivia Carpenter Glenn suffered from asthma and allergies. She was not alone; many of her family members, friends and neighbors also had respiratory ailments, a result of breathing the polluted air in their industrial city. Respiratory health issues were so common in Camden that Olivia gave them little thought until her freshman year at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. “That first fall, being around such fresh air, and just seeing the beauty of the White Mountains of New Hampshire and the Green Mountains of Vermont, really made me start to ask a lot of questions,” she recalled. “Why is this beauty here and it’s not where I’m from? Why do I have persistent respiratory issues when I’m home, but when I’m here I don’t have them?” she said. That was the beginning of Olivia’s awareness of environmental justice, a major influence in her decision to major in environmental studies. Environmental justice is defined as the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people and communities – regardless of race, color, national origin or income – in the development, implementation and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations and policies. The environmental justice movement emerged in the 1980s and has been gaining momentum in recent years. Now Olivia is in a position to deliver environmental justice for communities like her hometown, places overburdened with pollution and polluters. In July, Olivia was appointed deputy commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP),

in charge of advancing the state’s environ- cilities, large recycling facilities, and scrap mental justice and equity efforts in commu- metal facilities. nities that are disproportionately impacted Overburdened communities are defined by pollution and are known to have dirtier as those where 35% of the households air and more public health issues than other qualify as low income, or 40% of houseparts of New Jersey. holds are minority, or 40% of households As of last week, this state we’re in has a have limited English proficiency.

Assemblyman McKeon, DEP Commissioner Catherine McCabe, Olivia Glenn, the New Jersey Environmental Justice Alliance, Clean Water Action and scores of environmental justice advocates who have worked so hard to bring about this sorely needed change. It is only fair that ofﬁcials reviewing applications for new facilities like incinerators and landﬁlls should consider the community’s current environmental quality. For too long, decisions like these were made in a vacuum, as if the existing sources of pollution did not count. “It does feel really good to be a part of something this historic, but what stays on the forefront of my mind is that it’s needful,” commented Olivia. “When we think about the communities we are serving, who for a long time have been waiting for us to get to this point, they need this. I am mindful of the work of wanting to make these changes happen. I am happy, but I feel like I have to push my sleeves up.” In addition to the environmental justice law, New Jersey is also advancing new environmental justice guidance to executive agencies in state government, under the direction of an executive order from Gov. Murphy. For Olivia, the implications of New Jersey’s environmental justice leadership work go beyond the Garden State. “We are taking bold steps on behalf of environmental justice communities nationwide,” she says. “We hope this empowers leaders and advocates everywhere to better protect some of our most vulnerable neighbors.”

Monmouth resident admits to unlawfully possessing a firearm A Keyport resident has admitted to illegally possessing a firearm, U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito announced on Oct. 7. The firearm, other weapons and ammunition were found at locations connected to a perpetrator of a December 2019 mass shooting in Jersey City, according to a press release from Carpenito’s office. Ahmed A-Hady, 36, of Keyport, pleaded guilty by videoconference before U.S.

District Court Judge Katharine S. Hayden to an information charging him with possession of a ﬁrearm by a convicted felon, according to the press release. According to documents ﬁled in the case and statements made in court, on Dec. 10, 2019, there was a mass shooting in Jersey City during which two individuals, David Nathaniel Anderson and Francine Graham, killed three civilians after earlier

O’Donnell, de Garmeaux seek Township Council seat in Howell

By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer

HOWELL – Republican Evelyn O’Donnell and Democrat Andre de Garmeaux are seeking one available four-year term on the Howell Township Council in the November 2020 election. O’Donnell is seeking her second term and de Garmeaux is seeking his first term on the governing body. O’Donnell is serving as Howell’s deputy mayor in 2020. She is running on the Republican ticket with Suzanne M. Brennan, who is seeking her first term as mayor. de Garmeaux is running on the Democratic ticket with Theresa Berger, who is serving the final year of her first four-year term as mayor and is seeking a second term. The mayoral candidates are profiled in a separate article. O’Donnell has lived in Howell almost all her life and was elected to the council in 2016, taking office in January 2017. She said the No. 1 priority for elected officials is getting everyone safely through the coronavirus health crisis that began in March and continues today. She said taxes are the next priority to be addressed. “We want to try to maintain a flat municipal tax rate, which is always difficult, but we have been able to manage that,” O’Donnell said. Another priority with which officials must contend is New Jersey’s affordable housing mandate and its impact on a municipality. “We need to try to convince the Trenton Democrats to, at the very least, listen to what Howell has to produce (in terms of affordable housing); because we have an enormous amount of property, they come at us with larger numbers (of affordable housing that is required).

“For instance, a shore town which is already very much built out is always given a smaller number (of required affordable housing units), but because Howell is fortunate to have a lot of land, Trenton says we have the ability to build (affordable housing) because we have all this property. So they give us numbers that are usually ridiculous,” O’Donnell said. The councilwoman said state officials consider properties that cannot be built on as part of the available acreage when they calculate a town’s affordable housing obligation. “That is just one thing that is totally unfair, to consider properties that are untouchable for us. This has to stop. We adhere every time to the (affordable housing) rounds, we deliver, much to the dismay of many people, and I understand that because I, too, am unhappy with being forced to develop property,” O’Donnell said. “Affordable housing is not Section 8 (subsidized) housing. If somebody has an affordable place to live, they have a job, they are working. This is not a free ride, but it is designed to help those people who are starting off and in some cases people who are retired and whose incomes are fixed. We need to make the Trenton Democrats understand this mandate is truly unfair, and certainly unfair in how they deal the numbers out to us,” O’Donnell said. de Garmeaux said the only way to stop building “is to elect people who vote against development projects in the first place. Stopping the over-development will be one of my top priorities. “As a founding member of Howell Strong, I have been fighting over-development for years. We fought to stop a housing project on West Farms Road, but it got approved by the current Republican majority anyway, so now I am running for council to make sure it doesn’t happen again under

Evelyn O’Donnell

the same old regime,” de Garmeaux said. He asserted that O’Donnell was a member of the council in 2017 when the governing body initially signed off on a private company’s plan to construct a solid waste transfer station on Randolph Road. Howell ofﬁcials later reversed their position on the proposed facility and the matter is awaiting action by the Monmouth County freeholders. de Garmeaux said Howell ofﬁcials must do everything they can to stop the facility from being constructed in the township. O’Donnell did not respond to a request for comment on that issue. Regarding tax breaks that he said are given to certain developers, de Garmeaux said that incentive is not fair. “As the owner of Highland Kennel in Howell for over 40 years, the double tax hit on my home and business has been stagger-

ing. The Republicans approved a $6 million tax break for the West Farms housing project developer (Walters Group), which just increases the tax burden on Howell homeowners and business owners. It’s simply not fair to give these developers huge tax breaks while our taxes continue going up at record rates,” he said. de Garmeaux said if he is elected to the council, he will use his platform as a public ofﬁcial to assist local charities. “I would like to use my platform as a councilman to help our local charitable organizations, like the Howell Emergency Food Pantry. I have been a staunch supporter of the pantry for many years and because of the additional need due to (the coronavirus pandemic), I opened my business as a drop-off point for donations to help keep Howell families fed as we ﬁnd our way through this pandemic,” de Garmeaux said.

Howell Environmental Commission presents annual award By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer

HOWELL – The Howell Environmental Commission presented the 2020 Ann G. Ritchey Environmental Award to Mary Ann Cernak during its annual awards dinner on Oct. 8 at the Howell Pointe Swim Club. Cernak is a township resident and earned a doctorate in clinical social work. The award is presented each year by the environmental commission to honor the memory of Ann G. Ritchey, a devoted environmentalist who worked tirelessly to sustain the environment and quality of life in Howell, according to the commission. The commission and other municipal bodies such as the Lake Restoration and Wildlife Management Commit-

tee, the Municipal Green Team and the Natural Resources Working Group have worked with Cernak over the years on various projects, including the expansion of the Howell Organic Community Garden and the Winston Park Roots to Rivers Reforestation project. Cernak has assisted Howell public school students with research about local environmental issues for the students’ participation in the National Geographic Nat-Geo Challenge and she has helped local schools obtain grant funding for various projects. Joan Osborn, who chairs the environmental commission, said, “Mary Ann Cernak is the epitome of the ethic that you do what is right because it is right, not for recognition. “She has been quietly getting things done for Howell

and its schools and students for years and is so deserving of this award because she has been so instrumental in helping navigate the process of getting support for and success in implementing environmentally focused initiatives. “The township has beneﬁted from her dedication and perseverance. Dr. Cernak’s service to the township and its schools stands as an example of how one person can make a difference that changes perspectives and practices of others. “This made her a natural choice for the Ann G. Ritchey Award. The commission hopes to continue to encourage Howell residents to get involved in solving environmental issues, both big and small, and to keep Howell a wonderful place to live,” Osborn said.

Jackson planners approve three-story self-storage building By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer

JACKSON – Commercial development in Jackson will continue with the construction of a three-story self-storage building on West County Line Road (Route 526). During a recent meeting, members of the Planning Board approved an application that was submitted by SAFStor Land Co. LLC. The application proposed the construction of the 104,211-square-foot building.

Following testimony from representatives of the applicant, Chairman Robert Hudak, Vice Chairman Leonard Haring Jr., Timothy Dolan, Michelle Campbell, Jeff Riker, Paul Nigro, Andrew Jozwicki and Jackson Business Administrator Terence Wall voted “yes” on a motion to grant the application preliminary and ﬁnal site plan approval. The building will contain 819 storage units and a 675-square foot business ofﬁce. The applicant agreed to provide at least three storage units for charitable organiza-

tions in the community. Attorney Henry Kent Smith, engineer Kyle McKenna, trafﬁc engineer Jerrid Dinnen, architect Ben Paszkiet and Jon William of SAFStor represented the applicant at the meeting. McKenna said the property is in a Highway Commercial (HC) zone, in the vicinity of Solar Avenue and townhouses. The site to be developed is bordered to the east by existing commercial uses and to the south by West County Line Road. “The proposed improvements include

a three-story self-storage facility, which is a permitted use in the HC zone. There are two driveways proposed along West County Line Road; one is an entrance only driveway and the second is a full movement driveway,” McKenna testified. He said both driveways would accommodate emergency vehicles, and he said the proposed loading/unloading areas at the site would accommodate vehicles of various sizes (i.e., from cars to a small box truck). During his testimony, Paszkiet said there will be lights mounted on the threestory building. The 819 storage units will be of varying sizes to accommodate the needs of people who rent the units. The building will have 24/7 security card access and is climate controlled. The building will contain centralized stairwells and elevators. Williams, the representative from SAFStor Land Co., said, “We are a fully integrated storage company. We identify the property, design the sites and build the sites, and then we hire a professional management company to manage the sites for us.” Williams said the company assesses whether residences in a five-mile radius of a site provide sufficient storage space and make a determination to build a self-storage facility based on those calculations. The SAFStor Land Co. application met with the board’s unanimous approval.

Howell parks closed to public; will open for youth sports leagues By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer

HOWELL â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parks, which are closed to the public, will be open for youth sports leagues during the current local state of emergency. On Oct. 6, Victor Cook, the coordinator of the Howell OfďŹ ce of Emergency Management, said all municipal parks will be closed until further notice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As part of our local declared state of emergency, the township is closing all of the township parks effective immediately. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This (action) is due to the recent uptick in (coronavirus) cases combined with the large number of complaints being received that the parks are ďŹ lled to capacity, with users not social distancing and with most individuals not adhering to (Gov. Phil Murphyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) Executive Order No. 107 and not wearing masks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any individual not adhering to this (park) closing (order) could face a ďŹ ne under the local state of emergency and Executive Order No. 107,â&#x20AC;? Cook said. Mayor Theresa Berger posted a statement on social media following Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement.

She wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There has been a rise in the number of (coronavirus) cases in neighboring towns. Due to the uptick in cases and the lack of social distancing in the parks, the township manager and the OEM made a decision to close the parks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I completely agree with temporarily closing our parks, but there needs to be an exception for organized sports that are abiding by the Department of Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health and safety protocols,â&#x20AC;? Berger wrote. That exception was made on Oct. 7 when Township Manager Brian Geogheganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ce released a statement in which he was quoted as saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have received a great deal of feedback over the past day relating to the closure of parks in Howell, some positive, some negative. Many (people) took issue with the abrupt nature of the closing and its impact on youth sports leagues in Howell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The closure order was issued as a result of increased complaints relating to the use of our parks and the failure of people to follow protocols relating to social distancing and mask wearing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The closure order was worded succinctly so there was no room for interpretation. The township needed a temporary

hard stop on park usage to ensure the safety of everyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as the closure order was issued, we began contacting, and were contacted by, the directors of our youth sports leagues to discuss the situation. Most of our organized sports leagues have a plan in place relating to COVID-19. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have reviewed (those plans) again in light of recent experience to see if they need to be updated or modiďŹ ed. I am happy to say our sports leagues are an example to us all. They have observed proper protocols and have taken responsibility for their own safety and the safety of others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a result, we will be allowing them to use our parks again. We expect them to return to the ďŹ elds today (Oct.7). We continue to work on a plan to phase in usage over the next several days, but at this point we are keeping playground and other â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hightouch areas closed,â&#x20AC;? Geoghegan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Additionally, while our parks are closed, we will be sanitizing them. Our ďŹ rst priority is to sanitize the youth sports ďŹ elds. To assist with our sanitization efforts, Lakewood has agreed to mobilize some of its own Department of Public Works, so (people) will

see Lakewood trucks in some of our parks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once our parks are sanitized, we anticipate reopening them to passive recreation; this should occur over the next several days,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finally, a number of residents have asked why we cannot restrict the use of our parks to township residents. The answer is simple â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is not legal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There have been instances where other towns have tried to restrict the use of their parks to their own residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were sued not only for unlawful discrimination, but also for violating the terms of New Jersey Green Acres grants, which require parks to be open to all,â&#x20AC;? Geoghegan said. According to ofďŹ cials, there were more than 12,450 coronavirus cases reported in Monmouth County and more than 14,550 coronavirus cases reported in Ocean County as of the date of the local state of emergency. As of the same date, there were 1,052 deaths attributed to the disease reported in Ocean County and 868 deaths attributed to the disease reported in Monmouth County.

Mom whose son died by suicide speaks on importance of asking for help By JENNIFER AMATO Managing Editor

enny Baker was 14 when he was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety, and began having suicidal thoughts. As he struggled for three years, Kenny told his friends he had mononucleosis, afraid he would face judgment and criti-

cism for his mental health issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only did Kenny have to wake up every day and battle his severe biological brain illness, he had to go to school and live with stigma, the fear of being judged, of being criticized for having an illness,â&#x20AC;? his mother Patricia said during the second annual South Brunswick Suicide Awareness Walk, held at South Brunswick High

REGIONAL INTEREST School, Middlesex County, on Sept. 27. After three years of ďŹ ghting, taking medications and being hospitalized, Baker said her son lost hope that he would ever be healthy or normal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All he wanted was to be like everybody else,â&#x20AC;? she said. Kenny took his own life on May 19, 2009. The day before her son died, Baker said, Kenny said goodbye to all his friends. Baker said it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until her sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wake was held that his friends told her they had a bad feeling, but did not want Kenny to get in trouble or to make him angry. Baker said it is important to reach out to an individual who is struggling to let that person know you care. In light of the isolation brought upon by the COVID-19 pandemic, Baker said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A sense of connection is so critical to our mental health. Mental illness is like air; just because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not there. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all around us.â&#x20AC;? Baker said one in ďŹ ve youths deal with a mental health condition, but less than

one-third of those individuals reach out for help. She said while people do not hesitate to visit a doctor for treatment of a physical ailment, mental health carries a lot of stigma. Yet Baker said suicide is preventable, as it is an illness in the brain that lies to an individual and convinces the person that they do not deserve help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can help save a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Assemblymen ask Gov. to allow athletes to return to ice rinks Now that New Jersey officials have authorized gyms, indoor dining and entertainment venues to resume operations with proper safety precautions during the ongoing coronavirus health crisis, state Assemblymen Ron Dancer (R-Burlington, Monmouth, Middlesex, Ocean) and Kevin J. Rooney (R-Bergen, Essex, Morris, Passaic) are calling on Gov. Phil Murphy to allow athletes to return to ice rinks. “Ice hockey officials have consulted with medical professionals to design a safe return to the rink. I have spoken with parents, players and local associations and they are confident we have the protocols in place to protect against the transmission of the coronavirus,” Dancer was quoted as saying in an Oct. 7 press release. “As programs like football start back up, it is illogical to exclude ice hockey, a sport with no skin-to-skin contact and players that don’t come into contact with the puck,” the assemblyman said. According to the press release, research from Eastern Michigan University shows that during a typical hockey game, player-to-player close proximity is limited to three seconds. Dr. Mike Stuart of the Mayo Clinic and USA Hockey’s chief medical and safety officer, along with other medical

professionals, have determined the sport is safe to play provided the proper precautions are exercised. “It is to our young players’ detriment that the governor chooses to ignore the facts. A safe return to competition is possible and is happening in neighboring states like Pennsylvania,” Rooney said. “If people can exercise inside a gym and go to movie theaters, they can play ice hockey.” On Oct. 1, USA Hockey Executive Director Pat Kelleher sent a letter to Judith

deﬁnes hockey as a medium risk sport. Beginning July 8, no-contact ice hockey practices were permitted to return indoors, however, sports in the medium risk category are currently only able to participate in competitions outdoors, according to Dancer and Rooney. “We are urging Gov.

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA

2020 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe

ou never get a second chance to make a first impression. That was the mantra of one of my old bosses in the car selling business. What he meant, more specifically, was when someone comes into the showroom, greet them with some sort of happiness or exuberance, not a cold, stiff handshake and devil may care attitude. Those words always stuck with me. He was right. However, I’m not sure if the same Peter Perrotta could be said for the car reviewing process. For instance, when I first jumped behind the wheel of this week’s car, the 2020 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe, I wasn’t all that impressed. I’m not sure if it was just my imagination – because it was a two series – or if it was reality, but this vehicle just didn’t have the same feel of the more expensive BMW models I had reviewed. It looked like a normal BMW. But, to me, a least at first, it felt a bit below the normal BMW standards I had come to expect. The knobs and buttons in the interior didn’t feel as expensive, and the engine, a 2.0 liter inline 4 cylinder turbo, didn’t overwhelm me with power. I promptly called a friend of mine, who had worked for BMW, North America, for several years, and asked him if what I was initially feeling was accurate. He confirmed my suspicions and said it is sort of like when Mercedes came out with the CLA models and the A class. When he said that, I knew exactly what he was talking about because I was selling Mercedes cars when Mercedes introduced the CLA and A classes and a number of my regular customers commented they they felt these vehicles just didn’t have the same luxury quality and feel that the C, E and S class did. I wholeheartedly agreed. However, the reason Mercedes introduced those models is the same reason BMW introduced the 2 and I series models. In fact it’s a two fold reason. For one, it provides their customer base, who may not have the financial wherewithal, an entry level price point to jump into the brand on. Moreover, it also attracts younger, less

2020 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe - Storm B Metallic - European model shown

affluent buyers, into the brand at an earlier age in their buying cycle. With that in mind, one can see the logic behind these German automakers offerings. However, a funny thing happened on the way to writing this review. My opinion of the 228 BMW completely changed a bit from what my first impression was. The more and more I drove this 228 for the week I had it, the more I liked it. It grew on me, so to speak. No, the buttons and knobs didn’t get to feeling anymore expensive or anything like that. And, the engine didn’t all of a sudden find some extra power. It’s just that once I settled into this car, which is quite comfortable, by the way, I found the drive and handling to be of BMW road enthusiast quality. But, most of all, like most BMWs, it was fun to drive. The exterior the the 228i is aggressive and sporty and attractive. The interior ergonomics are solid. The infotainment system, once you figure out all of its intricacies, is top notch. And, like most BMWs, the voice recognition command system

actually works well. In fact, it’s spot on. You never have to repeat a command because the system doesn’t understand what you are saying. So the bottom line is, while my ﬁrst impression wasn’t all that spectacular, I grew to like this vehicle the more I drove it. The base price of the vehicle I tested is $37,500. However, with options and destination and delivery charges, my tester carried a bottom line sticker price of $48,495. Added options packages included: $1,200 for the Storm Bay Metallic paint; $1,450 for Mocha perforated Dakota leather seats; $4,000 for the M Sport package; $3,000 a premium package and $300 for the remote engine start. The premium package included: heated steering wheel; keyless entry; panoramic roof; lumbar support; heated front seats; adaptive head lights; ambient interior lighting; heads up display and free Sirius radio for one year. The EPA fuel consumption ratings on this car are reasonably good. It gets an overall rating of 27 miles per gallon – 33 mpg on the highway and 23 in city driving. The annual average fuel cost of running

this vehicle for one year comes in at $1,800 as it uses about 3.7 gallons of gas per every 100 miles. This vehicle has not been crash test rated yet. Overall, how does the 2 series BMW compete with the Audi 3 series and the Mercedes CLA or A class vehicles? I would say that overall, the BMW 228 holds its own quite well when compared to either the Audi 3 series or the Mercedes CLA or A class. The BMW provides a sportier and more European ride quality. While the Mercedes and Audi angle for more of a combined luxury and comfort feel. The best test, if you are interested in any one of these entry level type vehicles, is to drive one. It’s kind of like a pair of shoes, it’s hard to buy a pair of shoes without trying them on. The same could be said for a car you might be thinking of buying.

shop and interviewed A-Hady and two of his relatives. Law enforcement officers lawfully searched the pawn shop and A-Hady’s private residence. During the search of the pawn shop, law enforcement personnel recovered multiple rifles, handguns and one shotgun. In addition, during the searches of the pawn shop and A-Hady’s private residence, law enforcement personnel recovered more than 400 rounds of ammunition, including a large number of hollow point bullets. One of the weapons recovered from the pawn shop was a Sig Sauer .22 caliber rifle capable of accepting a large capacity magazine.

Records showed A-Hady purchased the rifle in Florida on Oct. 23, 2012, a time when he, as a convicted felon, was prohibited from possessing firearms. The purchase of the rifle came approximately five months after A-Hady was convicted in New Jersey Superior Court of a crime that was punishable by a term of imprisonment of more than one year. According to the press release, as part of his guilty plea on Oct. 7, A-Hady also agreed to forfeit his interest, if any, in the firearms that were recovered during the search of the Keyport pawn shop. The charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm carries a maximum potential penalty of up to 10 years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000. Sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 9, according to the press release.

County sheriff’s office goes pink (Continued from page 1)

To symbolize hope, the agency is flying its Breast Cancer Awareness flag outside of the office in Freehold. Police cruisers have been marked in pink and sport a pink magnetic ribbon. Each Friday in October, staff will wear pink in a show of support and pink face coverings have been made available this year to spread awareness, according to the press release. Statistics show one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime and there are more than 3.8 million breast cancer survivors in the United States, according to the press release. “Women need to be sure they do their own self breast exams as well as get a mammogram and spread awareness to oth-

ers about the importance of them,” said Kristin Aras, a breast cancer survivor and public safety telecommunicator with the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce. “If you get treated early you can live that happy, healthy life that a lot of people are doing as breast cancer survivors,” Aras said. “However we choose to acknowledge Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it’s important for law enforcement to stand behind this effort for all the courageous people who are battling the disease, have lost their lives or lost loved ones,” Golden said. “Public safety is more than making arrests. It’s also helping to arrest illnesses such as breast cancer that takes a toll on individuals with the disease and their families,” he said.

Scream Queens Horror Heroines and Striking Villainesses. By Stephen Whitty, ReMIND Magazine

t takes more than a stylish director to make a great horror film. It takes more than an old dark house, a gruesome monster or even a fistful of scares. It takes a great pair of lungs. Ever since Mary Philbin unmasked Lon Chaney in the 1925 silent film The Phantom of the Opera, horror films have depended on frightened heroines (and, occasionally, frightening female fiends). And although Philbin had to yell in silence, the genre soon added a new special effect: the ear-shredding shriek. Fay Wray set the standard early with shockers in 1932 and ’33, including The Mystery of the Wax Museum. She was a plucky heroine in all, but it was only when she greeted her tall, dark and gruesome costar in King Kong that

she made hysterical history as one of the first “scream queens.” The 1940s gave us a new horror heroine in Evelyn Ankers, who spent most of the decade fleeing in films like The Wolf

Man (1941) and Son of Dracula (1943). The era provided some striking villainesses, too, like baby-faced Simone Simon in 1942’s Cat People. But it was the ’50s sci-fi explosion that really brought the scream queens back. Fighting off an onslaught of atom-age mistakes, they added their own iconic performances — like the lovely Julie Adams, who, when she wasn’t yowling at the fish-man in 1954’s The Creature From the Black Lagoon, was dreamily treading dark water while he lurked hopefully below. As it was also the dawn of the Playboy era, there were plenty of pinups in peril, too. Like bad girl Yvette Vickers, who suffered both the Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (1958) and the Attack of the Giant Leeches (1959). And poor Mara Corday, who, fated to run afoul of oversized animals, screamed her way through Tarantula (1955) only to endure both The Black Scorpion and The Giant Claw two years later. While the new starlets were pretty, though, they also remained pretty passive. It would take the ’60s to give us fiercer female leads. Take fiery redhead Hazel Court, the never-to-be-trusted wife in Poe pictures like The Premature Burial (1962) and The Masque of the Red Death (1964). Or the darkly beautiful Barbara Steele, an English actress who blazed a second career in Italian gothics like Black Sunday (1960) and The Horrible Dr. Hichcock (1962). Vampire movies, with their nighttime assignations, provided a fine hunting ground for female monsters. Ingrid Pitt quickly made the boldest play for the scream-queen crown, starring as a sexy bloodsucker in The Vampire Lovers (1970) and, in 1971, both Countess Dracula and The House That Dripped Blood. Aiding her rise? A new onscreen frankness that re-

placed old black capes and drifting fog with see-through nightgowns and steamy sex. Of course, horror movies still saved room for a terrified blonde. Janet Leigh’s screen-ripping screams in 1960’s Psycho put people off showers for years. And Tippi Hedren and Mia Farrow yelled memorably — and mostly unsuccessfully — for help throughout The Birds (1963) and Rosemary’s Baby (1968), respectively. But in recent decades, monster movies have preferred to cast women in more proactive parts. Sometimes — like Linda Blair in The Exorcist (1973) or Sissy Spacek in Carrie (1976) — they’re the monster itself. More often, they’re its prime target — except now, after being chased for 80 or so minutes, they courageously turn the tables. Think of Heather Langenkamp as Nancy Thompson, outwitting the witty Freddy Krueger in 1984’s A Nightmare on Elm Street (and then returning for two more sequels). Or Neve Campbell, who not only made it through 1996’s Scream, but also survived three more follow-ups (and an increasingly confusing story). Then there’s Janet Leigh’s daughter Jamie Lee Curtis, who made her debut in 1978’s Halloween. At first, her Laurie Strode was there mostly to be terrorized; in both the original film and its first sequel, she needs Donald Pleasence’s Dr. Loomis to really chase away the boogeyman. But Laurie grew as the series went on, and with her fourth — and possibly final — appearance in the franchise last year, she’s become a macho, monster-movie Rambo. Add her other high-volume horrors — Terror Train, Prom Night, The Fog, Virus — to her Halloween history, and it’s clear Jamie Lee Curtis holds the undisputed title of greatest “scream queen.” Her mother would have been so proud.

development, hold community events and give the police the support they need, but with the cooperation of a new council, we can do it. “My running mate, Andre de Garmeaux, and current Councilman John Bonevich share my priorities and together we can preserve Howell’s suburban character and make our great town even better,” Berger said. In making a bid for the mayor’s seat, Brennan said she has four areas she considers immediate priorities. Those issues are holding the line on taxes; enhancing public safety; stopping what she said is unnecessary development; and working to make Howell more business friendly. “Regarding taxes, we need to continue to run the township like a business and ﬁnd ways to be more efﬁcient in all we do. We will seek more opportunities and engage in shared services with Monmouth County and other communities. “We need to responsibly boost our commercial tax base to relieve the burden on homeowners and use technology to create

NEWS BRIEFS The Central Jersey “Drive Thru Job Fair” is scheduled for Oct. 15 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Brookdale Community College Parking Lot 7, 765 Newman Spring Road, Lincroft. The event is sponsored by the Monmouth County Board of Freeholders in collaboration with the County’s Workforce Development Board, as well as Middlesex and Ocean counties. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, participating employers will not be attending in person.

The Workforce Development Board will organize the ﬂiers of potential job opportunities and provide job-seekers with a uniform packet that will be distributed during the job fair.

operational improvements in how we provide services to the residents. Republicans have held the line on spending in Howell and we will continue to follow that path,” Brennan said. “Because public safety is vital to our town, we must continue to fully support our police department and our EMS (operation). With the level of social unrest across the nation that now exists, we will ensure Howell is safe and protected. “Our police serve with respect and are part of the fabric of our community. It is imperative to continue to invest in the resources necessary to maintain the high level of service our police department provides,” Brennan said. “On development, our farms and open spaces are important to the beautiful, rural character of Howell. Republicans have

Business Recovery Task Force to cut red tape and help businesses to recover from the pandemic. “I would advocate for eliminating any obstacles that are within the governing body’s purview to allow businesses an easier path back to stability and success. We will work to develop a local shopping program and seek ways to implement programs to streamline things for businesses,” Brennan said. She said she is committed to ensuring consistent, meaningful communication with residents. “I believe it is the mayor’s responsibility to make sure residents are fully informed, especially during times of crisis. Our town deserves a strong leader who will not only advocate for the residents, but will work alongside them,” Brennan said.
