Jackson council hears update on code enforcement efforts By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer
C
ode enforcement employees in Jackson handed out more than 550 violation notices through the first 10 months of 2020. During a recent meeting of the Township Council, Code Enforcement Supervisor Andrew Cheney brought members of the governing body up to date with a report about his department’s activities this year. Cheney reported that as of Oct. 26, “we have written over 560 notices of violation of residents for various reasons. We have done 974 landlord registrations. We have completed 280 rental inspections on single-family homes, and we are at 370 rental inspections on multi-family homes.” He said code enforcement efforts had brought in
$101,000 in fines to Jackson as of that date. Cheney later told the Tri-Town News the three most significant categories of residential violations were written for property maintenance issues, failure to renew landlord registration and failure to obtain a rental continuing certificate of occupancy. “We have been extremely busy and we still have two months to go. … We have gotten so busy that the municipal court has (sessions) strictly for code enforcement matters … We are definitely keeping the town hopping,” Cheney told the members of the council. Cheney moved on from the topic of violations and said there have been questions raised about short-term rentals in Jackson. “Several (advertisements for short-term rentals) are still appearing on internet sites. One in question quite
often pops up … I did some research and that one is in compliance. It states on their application that a minimum 30-day stay is required,” he said Council President Alex Sauickie thanked Cheney for updating the council members on these matters. Sauickie asked how many code enforcement employees there are in Jackson and Cheney said there are six fulltime employees and two part-time employees. Cheney said code enforcement personnel have caught some business operators working on weekends without a permit. He said his staff members work at various times. “Most of the guys who work here are retired cops. The mayor likes to have retired law enforcement officers and we are not afraid to dig into things, to investigate … We think outside the box in a lot of ways,” he told the governing body.

Don’t Let This Go By Paul Hall
T
ragedy can be around any corner. What seems to be a totally normal and average life can be taken away in an instant, and in that same moment lives will change forever. George (Kevin Costner) and Margaret Blackledge (Diane Lane) are living and working on their ranch and have recently welcomed their new grandson to the family. But when an accident leaves their daughter-in-law Lorna (Kayli Carter) a single mother, life takes an irreversible turn. Lorna remarries, and George and Margaret do whatever they can to help with raising their grandson. But Lorna’s new life with Donnie Weboy (Will Brittain) is fraught with peril. When Margaret goes to visit her grandson and finds the young family gone without a word of notice, she makes a life-changing decision to set out and find
them, whether George joins her or not. As a former lawman, George reluctantly joins his wife on a road trip into the unknown to attempt to bring their grandson home at any cost. But can they handle what is waiting for them? When George and Margaret finally encounter the rest of the Weboy clan, led by matriarch Blanche (Lesley Manville), they confront a tight-knit crew protecting the abusive Donnie. And the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, as this family puts a capital D in the word “dysfunction.” Lane and Costner deliver strong performances as the grieving yet driven grandparents. You can feel George and Margaret’s pain as the actors have the uncanny ability to elicit those emotions within us. The story places the couple in situations that amplify their performances, and when Manville joins the mix, the result is explosive. When Lane and Manville are onscreen together, they are the absolute
best and will grab you and won’t let go without shaking you to your core. Let Him Go is a hard film to watch. It is both dark and quiet and loud and stormy. I was riveted by the ugliness inside some people juxtaposed with the internal goodness of others. Though after working my way through the narrative, I still have hope. Hope for a better tomorrow, hope for more of the good and less of the drama in our daily lives as we go forward. And a renewed hope in movies
as they return to theaters, to tell us stories that don’t always have happy endings, but still offer tales of love and devotion that transform the soul. Paul’s Grade: B Let Him Go Rated R Stars: Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Lesley Manville, Kayli Carter, Booboo Stewart Director: Thomas Bezucha

A Nashville Christmas Carol By Rick Gables
J
essy Schram and Wes Brown star in A Nashville Christmas Carol, premiering Saturday, Nov. 21, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Hallmark Channel, during the network’s annual Countdown to Christmas programming event. Vivienne Wake (Schram), a workaholic television producer in charge of a country musicthemed Christmas special showcasing newcomer Alexis (RaeLynn), never lets personal feelings get in the way of business. On the verge of accepting a job in LA, and with the return of Gavin Chase (Brown), her childhood sweetheart and manager to the special’s headliner, Belinda (Sara Evans), she receives a visit from the ghost of her recently deceased mentor, Marilyn (Wynonna Judd). Her mentor warns her current path leads to a dark future and has recruited both the Spirit of Christmas Past (Kix Brooks) and the Spirit of Christmas Present (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) to help her get back
on track. The Spirits’ time-jumping adventures force Vivienne to take hold of her life. Will Vivienne ultimately choose her career or another chance at love? SHOWTIME will premiere the documentary, BELUSHI, on Sunday, Nov. 22, at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The feature length film examines the too-short life of the once-in-a-generation talent John Belushi, who captured the hearts and funny bones of devoted audiences. Told using previously unheard audiotapes, BELUSHI examines his extraordinary life in the words of his collaborators, friends and family, including Dan Aykroyd, Jim Belushi, Penny Marshall, Lorne Michaels, Carrie Fisher, Chevy Chase, Harold Ramis, Jane Curtin, Ivan Reitman and his high school sweetheart and later wife, Judy Belushi. CBS’ season four of drama series Seal Team is set to debut Wednesday, Nov. 25, at 9 p.m. ET/PT. On the season premiere, God of War, Bravo Team enters enemy territory in the snowy Spin Ghar Mountain

Berger closing in on second 4-year term as Howell mayor County Clerk’s Office. In Howell’s form of municipal government, the mayor is directly elected by voters and serves as a voting member of the five-person Township Council. The mayor’s term will run from Jan. 1, 2021 through Dec. 31, 2024. During the Nov. 10 Township Council meeting, Republican Councilwoman Evelyn O’Donnell said, “According to the Monmouth County election website, it would appear, although it has not been de-
clared officially, that Mayor Berger will retain her seat. I offer congratulations while we wait … but in the meantime I think it is safe to say Mayor Berger retains her mayoral position.” “Thank you,” Berger responded. Councilman Thomas Russo congratulated Berger and said, “I look forward to spending the rest of my term with you, mayor.” As of Nov. 16, the race for a four-year council seat remained too close to call.
O’Donnell, who is serving as Howell’s deputy mayor in 2020, is seeking a new term and facing Democrat Andre de Garmeaux. The vote count on Nov. 16 showed O’Donnell leading de Garmeaux by a count of 15,326 votes to 15,025 votes. Some election night mail-in ballots, some Americans With Disabilities Act machine ballots and provisional ballots remain to be counted, according to the county clerk’s website.

Jackson man pleads guilty in death of Manalapan resident
A
Jackson resident has pleaded guilty for his role in the shooting death of a Manalapan man in October 2019, Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni announced. Gerard A. Grimes Jr., 24, recently pleaded guilty to first degree aggravated manslaughter and second degree unlawful possession of a firearm before state Superior Court Judge Marc C. LeMieux, according to a press release from the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office. Grimes admitted shooting five times at three men who were chasing after him. One shot struck and killed Narcisco Rodriguez-Corona, 43. Grimes is expected to return for sentencing on Nov. 20. As part of his plea agreement, prosecutors will recommend a 12-year sentence in state prison on the aggravated manslaughter charge, subject to the provisions of the No Early Release Act which will require him to serve 85% of his imposed sentence before becoming eligible for release on parole, according to the press release. Grimes would also be under parole supervision for five years following his prospective release from state prison. There will also be a recommendation for a seven-year state prison term to run concurrent with the other sentence included in his plea agreement, according to the press release. The case involving Grimes’ co-defendants, Zoey S. Monte, 21, and Tyler J. Martucci, 23, both of Jackson, are still pending. The case stems from an Oct. 5, 2019, call reporting shots fired with a victim. Manalapan police officers responded to the 9:34 p.m. call reporting a fight at 25 Fawn Run in a residential development off Union Hill Road the township. Several minutes later, police received another call for a confirmed shooting victim. Manalapan police officers arrived on scene and discovered Rodriguez-Corona suffering from a gunshot wound. He was transported to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, New Brunswick, where he was pronounced dead, according to the press release. After receiving initial information regarding the incident, police officers began to search the area. A few hours later, police attempted a motor vehicle stop of Grimes’ Letters to the editor may be sent via email to news@thetritownnews.com. Letters should be limited to 250 words. All submissions may be edited for length, grammar, content and libelous statements.
vehicle, but he failed to stop. Thereafter, Grimes fled the vehicle. Monte and Martucci were also in the vehicle and were arrested at that time. A short time later, Grimes was found in the backyard of a neighborhood residence, according to the press release. A joint investigation by the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office and the Manalapan Police Department revealed Grimes came to the Manalapan residence armed with a handgun. Grimes attempted
to enter the residence while Monte and Martucci remained outside. Residents of the home were alerted to Grimes’ presence and attempted to stop him from entering, resulting in a brief confrontation outside the home. Shortly thereafter, a second encounter occurred nearby, during which Grimes ultimately shot Rodriguez-Corona. Grimes, Monte and Martucci all fled the area, according to the press release. Monte was indicted on charges of bur-
glary, conspiracy to commit burglary, unlawful possession of a handgun, possession of a firearm for an unlawful purpose, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. Martucci was indicted on charges of burglary, conspiracy to commit burglary, unlawful possession of a handgun, possession of a firearm for an unlawful purpose, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.

Fred MacMurray A True Film Star and Eventual Sitcom Dad By Taylor Neumann, ReMIND Magazine
F
rederick Martin MacMurray was born on Aug. 30, 1908, in Illinois and spent most of his childhood growing up in Wisconsin. He played saxophone in local bands, which eventually led to him playing with the Gus Arnheim Orchestra in the early 1930s. He appeared on Broadway before signing with Paramount Pictures in 1934. Soon MacMurray was appearing in many films with several illustrious costars, including Katharine Hepburn (Alice Adams, 1935), Barbara Stanwyck
PHOTO CREDIT: FRED MACMURRAY COURTESY OF KING FEATURES SYNDICATE
(Remember the Night, 1940), Errol Flynn (Dive Bomber, 1941), Marlene Dietrich (The Lady Is Willing, 1942) and Joan Crawford (Above Suspicion, 1943). In 1943, MacMurray’s salary reached $420,000, making him the highest paid actor in Hollywood that year and the fourth highest paid person in the entire country. His best known film performance came in 1944 with director Billy Wilder’s Double Indemnity, again opposite Stanwyck. This was a departure from MacMurray’s usual “good guy” roles, with him playing an insurance salesman who plots with Stanwyck to murder her husband. MacMurray continued to work on films prolifically during the ’40s and ’50s. In 1960, he again teamed up with Wilder for the unforgettable The Apartment, costarring with Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine. MacMurray also starred in the popular Disney films The Shaggy Dog (1959), The Absent-Minded Professor (1961) and Son of Flubber (1963). In 1960, MacMurray moved to
television with the lead role on a new series, My Three Sons, as widower Steven Douglas. Despite his many film roles, this would be the project he is most remembered for, as the show grew to be a huge hit and aired from 1960 to 1972. MacMurray had a clause in his contract stating that all of his scenes be shot in two monthlong blocks, leaving him free to make films and play his favorite activity, golf. After the show ended in 1972, MacMurray settled into semi-retirement, living as one of the wealthiest actors in Hollywood due to having saved for many years — he was known for his frugality throughout his life. MacMurray made appearances in Greyhound commercials throughout the ’70s and gave his final film performance in 1978’s The Swarm. MacMurray was married twice, first to Lillian Lamont in 1936, adopting two children with her before her death in 1953. The following year, he married actress June Haver, with whom he adopted another two children. They remained
Will we see more episodes of ‘Mr. Mercedes’? Question: Will there be a fourth season of Mr. Mercedes? The story is not finished, even though there were only three books. I’m just now watching the third season and understand it won’t make it to End of Watch. I can’t find any news since Audience Network died. —Rebecca Matt Roush: At first glance, it appeared that the future of Mr. Mercedes went the way of DirecTV’s defunct Audience Network: nowhere. But when Peacock picked up the series, exposing it to a potentially larger streaming audience, there has been renewed speculation that a fourth season may be possible after all. There’s nothing beyond that for now, as far as I know, so I wouldn’t get too excited.
Question: I have been curious if Scott Bakula really plays the piano on NCIS: New Orleans? —Cindy Matt Roush: Yes, that’s him tinkling those 88 keys. It may not be as well known to fans of his action series that before TV stardom, Scott Bakula had a career in musical theater, including a Tony nomination for Romance/Romance and also appearing at Carnegie Hall in a concert version of Stephen Sondheim’s cult musical Anything Can Whistle. (I saw him in both, and even remember him during my Midwest college days at Cincinnati’s Playhouse in the Park in a production of The Baker’s Wife.)

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA
2021 Infiniti QX80 Sensory AWD
I
n sheer size alone the 2021 Infiniti QX 80 should be crowned “King of the Road”. When I see vehicles this large, I usually quip to whoever is within ear shot at the time, “Geez, that looks like a house on wheels.” Well folks, for 2021, Infiniti has introduced a new trim line to the QX 80 offerings, the top-of-the-line Sensory AWD. I was fortunate enough to jump behind the wheel of the new Sensory AWD QX Peter Perrotta 80 recently for a one week test drive and if you are going to label this full sized luxury SUV a house on wheels, it’s one very opulent house. “A new Sensory grade sits at the top of the revised QX80 line up,” says a release from Infiniti. “Occupants will experience a sumptuous cabin featuring quilted semianiline leather appointed seats, and charcoal burl wood trim and a new graphite tricot headliner.” Moreover, the exterior now features 22inch forged alloy wheels, chrome mirror caps. A new hydraulic motion control suspension system was also added to provide a smoother, more stable ride. The results are indeed impressive for this massive SUV, first introduced by Infiniti back in 2004. I not only drove the QX 80 around town – to and from work and such – for one week, but I also took it on a 240-mile roundtrip sojourn out to Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, to display my wares at a sports card show. The ride out to Camp Hill and back was extremely comfortable and pleasant. The cabin is not only opulent but roomy and comfortable as well. The QX 80, powered by a large 5.6 liter naturally aspirated V8 that puts out 400 horsepower is more than adequately powered. This engine roars, providing easy passing and lane changing capabilities, and once you get all the way over to command the left lane on the Pennsylvania Turnpike it cruises at high speeds quite nicely as well. However, all this bigness and opulence
2021 Infiniti QX80 Sensory AWD
comes at a price. The new Sensory model QX 80 is not cheap and neither is it gas consumption efficient – this isn’t your typical tree hugger ride. The EPA’s fuel consumption ratings for the QX 80 come in at an average of 15 miles per gallon – with 19 mpg on highway driving and 13 mpg in around town or city driving. Moreover, the EPA estimates that on average it will cost you about $3,250 a year to feed the QX 80 with gas as it uses about 6.7 gallons per every 100 miles driven. The base price of the Sensory model QX 80 is $83,300. My test model had added options as well and when you tack on the $1,395 destination and delivery charge the bottom line sticker price comes in at a hefty $87,035. The added options on my test vehicle included: $485 for Infiniti illuminated kick plates; $410 for roof rail cross bars; $295 for a cargo package; $455 for Infiniti illuminated welcome lighting and $695 for the Coulis Red premium exterior paint. So the question at this point remains, is while the new Sensory top-of-the-line QX 80 is certainly luxurious and rich, the price
point it is now offered at pushes it into the company of some pretty hefty competitors – namely the popular BMW X7 or the equally as popular Mercedes Benz GLS. In summarizing its review of the QX 80, the editors at Car and Driver gave it high marks for, “handsome styling, standard V8 power, plush and spacious cabin.” However, for low points, Car and Driver pointed out that the QX 80 “seems outdated compared to rivals.” I tend to agree, but not wholeheartedly. The German-made X7 and GLS have gone to smaller, more state-of-the-art engines that make up for the downsizing by adding a turbo charger or an electric battery EQ boost to give them more pep and better gas mileage. Additionally, inside the cabins, the German X7 and GLS seem to be a bit ahead of Infiniti when it comes to providing the latest infotainment and wide touch screen command center. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the operational functionality of Infiniti’s system, it just seems a bit dated with comparing it to what you get inside the X7 or GLS.
However, all that being said, there is still room for the new Sensory model QX 80 if you are considering a full sized luxury SUV. There is a distinct difference in the way that the German made X7 and GLS feel and drive when compared to the Japanese made Infiniti. The Infiniti offers a smoother, more airlike ride. With the German models you get a stiffer, more performance-oriented ride. Is one better than the other? Who is to say? The true test is in the eye of the beholder. You have to get in and test drive these models and see for yourself which is more to your liking. In case your were wondering just how big the QX 80 is, according to Infiniti’s spec sheet this vehicle has a wheelbase 121.1 inches, an overall length of 210.2 inches, a width of 79.9 inches and stands 75.8 inches high.

Gov. signs bill banning single-use paper and plastic bags
G
ov. Phil Murphy has signed S-864 – which prohibits the use of singleuse plastic bags and paper bags in all stores and food service businesses statewide – into law. Murphy said the new law is a signiďŹ cant step to reduce harm and pollution those products cause to the Garden State’s environment. “Plastic bags are one of the most problematic forms of garbage, leading to millions of discarded bags that stream annually into our landďŹ lls, rivers and oceans,â€? Murphy said. “We are addressing the problem of plastic pollution head on with solutions that will help mitigate climate change and strengthen our environment for future generations.â€? According to a press release from the governor’s ofďŹ ce, beginning in May 2022, plastic and paper single-use bags, as well as disposable food containers and cups made out of polystyrene foam, will be banned. Moving forward, the focus throughout

the state will be on using reusable bags. The following products will be exempt for an additional two years after May 2022: • Disposable, long-handled polystyrene foam soda spoons when required and used for thick drinks; • Portion cups of 2 ounces or less, if used for hot foods or foods requiring lids; • Meat and ďŹ sh trays for raw or butchered meat, including poultry, or ďŹ sh that is sold from a refrigerator or similar retail appliance; • Any food product pre-packaged by the manufacturer with a polystyrene foam food service product; • Any other polystyrene foam food service product as determined necessary by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Under the new law, food service businesses will be allowed to provide singleuse plastic straws only upon request starting in November 2021, according to the press release.

“From our cities to our shores, singleuse plastic bags unnecessarily litter New Jersey’s most treasured spaces and pollute our ecosystems,� DEP Commissioner Catherine R. McCabe was quoted as saying in the press release. “By banning single-use plastic bags, Gov. Murphy and our Legislature continue to make New Jersey a national leader in environmental protection and the DEP stands ready to implement these new measures and educate the public,� she said. “The health and safety of future generations depend on the choices we make today. Single-use plastic products are one of the single greatest threats to our oceans, environment and health,� said Assemblywoman Nancy Pinkin (D-Middlesex). “Many of our municipalities have already taken steps to limit the use of carryout bags and containers; now it’s time for the state to act. This is the strongest law implemented in the nation to curb the use of these products and maintains New Jersey’s stance as a leader in environmental protection,� she said. “It’s a good day for marine critters and the power of the people,� Clean Ocean Action Executive Director Cindy Zipf was quoted as saying in the press release. “For over 35 years, thousands of COA’s beach sweep volunteers have collected more than 7.2 million pieces of trash, mostly plastic, off New Jersey’s beaches. “Thanks to Gov. Murphy and the Legislature, we have successfully drawn a line in the sand and made New Jersey a world
leader in reducing the plastic plague on this marvel of a planet,â€? she said. “This is a great day. New Jersey has now become a national leader in going after plastics and protecting our environment,â€? said Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. “This statewide plastic ban will help protect our rivers and streams from plastic that has been known to kill whales, get into our environment and into us. “This comprehensive plastic ban not only bans plastic bags, but also polystyrene and the offering of plastic straws. This is a critical step forward when it comes to protecting our environment from plastics,â€? he said. Jennifer Coffey, the executive director of the Association of New Jersey Environmental Commissions, said, “This law marks a monumental step forward in the ďŹ ght against the fossil fuel industry and their production of disposable plastics, and a win for wildlife, clean rivers and our ocean. “After years of local ofďŹ cials taking steady, incremental steps toward banning single-use plastic by passing 130 local ordinances, we are ďŹ nally doing away with polluting plastic bags and polystyrene food containers for good. “This law is a product of many stakeholders and legislators working together to ensure all voices are heard, and we thank Gov. Murphy for signing this bill into law,â€? Coffey said.

Jackson residents whose homes are in need of repairs can turn to municipal ofďŹ cials for possible assistance. OfďŹ cials have appointed Rehabco Inc. as the township’s housing rehabilitation administrator/coordinator. In accordance with the housing rehabilitation program, Jackson ofďŹ cials previously designated $138,000 to be appropriated from the township’s affordable housing trust fund to cover repairs at 46 units at a cost of $3,000 per unit. OfďŹ cials have now authorized repairs to an additional 20 units at the same cost (total of $60,000). The housing rehabilitation program is part of Jackson’s compliance with state affordable housing mandates. The program was created to mitigate health and safety issues and to ensure basic building code compliance of all income-eligible housing units completed through the program, including mobile home rehabilitation, according to a resolution that was recently passed by the members of the Township Council. Guidelines for the housing rehabilitation program were prepared by Rehabco, according to the resolution. A principal of Rehabco could not be reached for comment.
