Flemming, Chisholm and Borrelli excited to begin terms By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer
T
he three men who were elected to four-year terms on the Jackson Township Council in the Nov. 3 municipal election are looking forward to living up to residents’ expectations in 2021. Marty Flemming, Steve Chisholm Jr. and Nino Borrelli ran unopposed. According to results posted on the Ocean County Clerk’s Office website, as of Nov. 18, Flemming had 19,812 votes, Borrelli had 19,680 votes and Chisholm had 19,213 votes. The results of the election will remain unofficial until they have been certified by the county. Flemming and Chisholm are current members of the Township Council and Borrelli is a current member of the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Jackson has a nonpartisan form of local government and the candidates did not run under the banner of a political party. Flemming owns County Line Hardware in Jackson. He was appointed to the council in January and has served through 2020. “I was honored to be asked to fulfill an unexpired term, especially since I had had very little exposure to our town politics. Getting elected in my own right is a humbling experience. “Having your town exhibit enough confidence in you as a person to put you in this position is a great feeling. I will give my best effort to make Jackson an even better place to live than it already is. “Going forward, our council focus is to control our building as much as possible and to acquire as much open space as the town can afford with the approved open space tax increase. The more trees we can keep, the nicer the town can stay,” Flemming said. Chisholm has been a resident of Jackson for more than 40 years. He works for his family business, Aspen Tree Expert Co. Chisholm was appointed to the council in

June to serve the remainder of 2020. His first full term will begin in January. “It is very humbling and satisfying to have the support of the voters and to know they are the ones who have put me there to serve their interests. It’s a special thing to earn the public trust and I am looking forward to living up to that trust,” Chisholm said. Borrelli has lived in Jackson since 2017 and works in human resources at the New Jersey Department of Human Services. He will take his seat on the council in January.
“To me, being elected means fulfilling the trust and confidence placed in me by an overwhelming number of Jackson voters to serve as their councilman and representing every resident’s best interests in our wonderful town. “Being elected (means) listening to the residents and I hear them loud and clear from the election results that they would like Councilman Flemming, Councilman Chisholm and I to follow through on our campaign pledge to Jackson, which is protect valuable open space from develop-
ment, keep municipal taxes and spending in check, stand with our police and keep our town safe. “I am very thankful to the voters who placed their trust and confidence in Marty, Steve and I to be their councilmen. We will work hard to serve and represent our fellow residents. “I look forward to the honor of being their councilman and joining Marty, Steve, council President Alex Sauickie and Vice President Andy Kern on the dais soon,” Borrelli said.
“It’s a special thing to earn the public trust and I am looking forward to living up to that trust.” — Steve Chisholm Jr.

ore than one-third of New Jersey adults surveyed by the National Center for Health Statistics and Census Bureau from April 23 through July 21 (Phase 1) and Aug. 19 through Oct. 26 (Phase 2) reported symptoms of anxiety or depression resulting from COVID-19 related issues. With the pandemic showing no signs of abating and a fear of a drastic rise in cases this fall into winter, these figures are sure to increase. On the heels of a difficult election that has generated significant apprehension and taken an emotional toll on many New Jerseyans, along with seasonal affective disorder that can be caused from the end of Daylight Saving Time, access to mental health resources is more important than ever. As professionals in behavioral health, we at the Mental Health Association in New Jersey (MHANJ) know all too well that emotional difficulties resulting from this crisis may cause distress. For some, this may lead to poor decision-making, which in turn can cause people more serious emotional issues or result

Officials announce New Jersey’s COVID-19 vaccination plan Gov. Phil Murphy and New Jersey Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli have announced the state’s COVID-19 vaccination plan, which they said is designed to provide equitable access to approved vaccines, achieve maximum community protection and build public trust in advance of an approved vaccine “The strategic and efficient deployment of a vaccine will be critical to our continued fight against the COVID-19 pandemic and is a key tool in our recovery,” Murphy was quoted as saying in a press release. “While we will welcome one or more COVID-19 vaccines, we are not going to simply rush forward. We will be as methodical and deliberate in our approaches to a vaccination plan as we have been in every aspect of our responses over the past eight months,” the governor said. “The department’s vaccine plan is expected to evolve over time as more details about vaccine availability, timelines, distribution, funding resources and supplies are released,” Persichilli was quoted as saying
in the press release. “Our aspirational goal for a wide-scale vaccination program for New Jersey is to vaccinate 70% of the adult population in a six-month period. The department will follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance on prioritization and further allocation decisions will be made through a health equity lens,” she said. New Jersey submitted its draft COVID-19 vaccination plan to the CDC on Oct. 16. The plan calls for an all-of-government approach to a wide-scale vaccination program, according to the press release. “To date, there is no globally approved COVID-19 vaccine. However, there is an expectation a vaccine will become available either by the end of the year or the first quarter of next year under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) pre-approval,” Persichilli said. An EUA allows the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to facilitate the availability of unapproved medical product to be

used to prevent serious or life-threatening diseases when there are no adequate, approved and available alternatives, according to the press release. The FDA may issue an emergency use authorization for one or more COVID-19 vaccines by the end of 2020 or the first quarter of 2021. Several vaccines are in Phase 3 clinical trials. Some of the vaccines will require a two-dose regimen, 21 to 28 days apart, according to the press release. The initial allotment of vaccine to states is expected to be limited. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices to the CDC has drafted recommendations for the first phase of the vaccination effort, prioritizing health care workers who have the potential for direct exposure and essential workers and individuals at risk, including those 65 and older. It will be up to states to determine the final allocation, according to the press release. The Department of Health has been working to ensure an equitable wide-scale

vaccination program since July and established the New Jersey Department of Heath COVID-19 Vaccine Task Force with nine teams. The task force is chaired by Dr. David Adinaro, deputy commissioner for public health services. “While this is a statewide coordinated plan, it will be implemented locally and so the task force is focused on working collaboratively with local and county health departments and numerous other partners in this process,” Adinaro said. “This effort will help ensure all voices are heard in developing and implementing this program.” Information about COVID-19 and the vaccines currently in development is still evolving and the Department of Health will continue to release information as it becomes available, according to the press release. The department’s COVID-19 vaccination plan has been partly informed by New Jersey’s experience with pandemic influenza vaccination during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, according to the press release.

Katheryn Winnick Promises Shocks And Surprises In ABC’s ‘Big Sky’
T
he clock is ticking in the atmospheric new thriller Big Sky (ABC, Tuesday). Two sisters have just been kidnapped by a truck driver on an isolated Montana highway. Complicating the crucial early days of the search, the key investigators are caught in a love triangle: Private detectives Cassie Dewell (Kylie Bunbury, When They See Us) and Cody Hoyt (Shooter‘s Ryan Phillippe) must work with his estranged wife, ex-cop Jenny Hoyt (Katheryn Winnick), who, like Cody, has a personal connection to the case. “Jenny and Cassie are in love with the same guy, but they put their personal feelings aside to focus on [the crime],” says Winnick. “They discover they’re very similar in a lot of ways. They’re both determined, strong-willed women who have a mission and their own personal journeys to overcome to be able
to solve the case and find peace within themselves.” They have their differences too, of course. Winnick describes Jenny as “unhinged and unpredictable.” Early on — in a move reminiscent of Winnick’s six-season stint as Norse warrior Lagertha on Vikings — Jenny even slugs her rival! Cassie, on the other hand, is more coolly intuitive. She instantly distrusts an oafish state highway patrolman (John Carroll Lynch), just one of the suspicious locals we’ll meet. “We’ve got some bad seeds and really weird characters,” Winnick teases. “It’s a show that will throw you, shock you, make you laugh, make you cry.” The series is based on the book The Highway and its sequels by C.J. Box, which only hint at the picturesque details of Montana that the show is able to incorporate. “This show and the visuals of this show and the vista of the show and C.J.
Box’s novels are so landscape-dependent that they are going to be breathtaking to watch as much as they are breathtaking in the thriller aspects of the show,” explained Lynch. What the fast-paced drama from executive producer David E. Kelley (Big Little Lies) won’t do is force viewers to wait all season for a resolution. This case — which the trio soon realize may be related to 12 other disappearances near truck stops and linked to human trafficking — is solved in the first five episodes. Then what? “I have a feeling [Jenny is] going to stick around and solve more cases,” Winnick says jokingly. The actress herself is enjoying her time shooting and living in the wilds of Vancouver, which subs for Big Sky Country. “Funny enough, my entire garbage got attacked by a family of bears yesterday,” she reports. “I’m definitely in what could be the mountains of Montana.”
“ My way isn’t working.

Freaky Fresh By Paul Hall
B
ody switches have been the focus of many films throughout the years, and in the new film Freaky we get a look at the story of a high school girl who trades bodies with a male serial killer and the hilarity and horror that ensue. The question is, can a film walk the thin line between horror and comedy? The answer is itself a bit freaky and very fresh. The Blissfield Butcher (Vince Vaughn) is on the loose and a community that loves its high school homecoming celebrations will not shut down to prevent the deaths of more kids. Millie (Kathryn Newton) is a high school student who finds herself the butt of a number of jokes. Picked on by other students and even some of the teachers, Millie is trying to recover from the loss of her father a year earlier. Living with her mom and sister and serving as mascot
for the Blissfield Beavers, she is stuck in a rut. That is, until she encounters the Butcher after the homecoming football game. But he is unsuccessful in killing her, and instead the two change places for a day of carnage and some laughs. The catch is, if Millie and the Butcher don’t switch back by the stroke of midnight, Millie will live on in a middleaged man’s body while the butcher will continue to attack, now appearing as a teenage girl. I had high hopes for this effort, despite it being a general plot device that I know has been around for ages. And I was not let down. Freaky slashed its way into my life — killing it, quite literally — on the horror aspect and worked in a more than sufficient amount of humor to distract from the goriest scenes. Director Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day) gives viewers a creative and fresh look at the body-switching genre.

Kathryn Newton in “Freaky”
He is able to deliver scares and gore that never feel too mean, as Newton’s character Millie has been bullied so much you almost don’t worry when she is inhabited by the Butcher. Films that fit in the body-swap narrative are only as good as the actors playing the parts, and in Vaughn and Newton Freaky hits a home run. Vaughn not only calls on his comedic background, but also his more serious roles to develop the serial killer persona. Newton is a revelation as she transitions seamlessly from teenage girl to true bad girl. Along the way, we get treated to supporting performances that shine, including Misha Osherovich and Celeste O’Connor as Millie’s best friends. It’s a young cast
who comes ready to perform and are a perfect fit for the film. Be warned, this is a graphic film and the kills are a bit harsh. It clearly makes the most of its “R” rating and stays in context the entire time. I will see anything Landon does going forward, as everything he’s been involved with has been fresh. Now that he gets a bit freaky too, it’s only the better. Paul’s Grade: B+ Freaky Rated R Stars: Vince Vaughn, Kathryn Newton, Katie Finneran, Alan Ruck Director: Christopher Landon

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA
2020 Toyota Highlander XLE V6
I
n 1958, Toyota opened its first American car dealership inside a former Rambler dealership in Hollywood. The Japanese importer sold a whopping 288 cars that year – mostly a failed vehicle called the Toyopet Crown that was way too heavy and miserably slow. But it wasn’t until 1965 when Toyota introduced the Corona Sedan that this Japanese auto maker really began to make inroads into the highly desired American market. Peter Perrotta While it was the Corona that knocked on the door of the American market it was the Corolla, introduced in 1968, that actually kicked it in – starting the Toyota worldwide expansion that at this point is a runaway freight train. By way of contrast, Toyota sold a modest 20,000 cars in the American market in 1966. Fast forward to last year, when Toyota – now widely recognized as the world’s largest auto maker – produced a mind boggling 10.4 million cars for the world market in one year. But a lot has changed along the way for the Japanese automaker. From its humble beginnings, Toyota initially made its bones by producing small, fuel efficient sedans that were known to be high quality, long lasting and durable. As of last count, Toyota now offers 18 different models at its typical American car dealership. Who would have ever envisioned after seeing that first little Corolla – now the biggest selling car in automotive history – that Toyota would someday be making something as large and fuel inefficient as the 229-inch long Tundra pickup truck that gets a whopping 15 miles a gallon from its massive 5.7 liter, V8 engine? Or that they would have ever produced an 8-seat Sequoia SUV that’s 205 inches long and weighs a massive 6,025 pounds? Well, as Toyota infiltrated the American market, it changed its marketing strategy to provide Americans with the massive style SUVs and pickups they had been used to getting from the American car makers.
2020 Toyota Highlander XLE V6
I recently jumped behind the wheel of the 2020 Toyota Highlander XLE V6 AWD to see just how refined that Japanese automaker has become with its mid-sized SUV. Toyota made a lot of changes with the 2020 version of the Highlander, the fourth generation of this model. First off, it sports a fresh new sculpted, sporty and aggressive look and stance from the ground up. It measures about 2.4 inches longer than the 2019 model, adding space to the cargo area. It now offers two powertrains as well. The conventional 295 horsepower, 3.5 liter V6 and a 240 horsepower hybrid four cylinder. The model I test drove for one week was the 2020 Toyota Highlander XLE V6 AWD version that came in an attractive Moon Dust exterior color and a handsome sepia leather interior. The base sticker price of the model I drove is $41,200. With added options and $1,120 for destination and delivery, the bottom line sticker price comes in at $44,498. The added options included: $1,040 for the premium audio package that included an upgraded audio system as well as an
8-inch touch screen dynamic navigation system; $425 for the special exterior paint; $318 for carpeted floor mats and carpeted cargo mats; and $395 for paint protection film. I found my Highlander to be more attractive and aggressive looking than its predecessor. As far as interior room and comfort go, I feel it exceeds expectations. It has plenty of leg and head room and offers a smooth, comfortable ride. The interior ergonomics are solid, but not exceptional. Overall, this Highlander gets above average grades all around for the total package it presents. The 3.5 liter, V6 engine gives it enough power so you can make aggressive lane changes on the interstate and cruise quite nicely at high speeds in the left lane on the Turnpike. Put more simply, it drives like you would expect a Toyota to drive. I don’t mean that in any sarcastic way either. It just has a sound overall good ride quality to it, without ever providing you with that tremendous “wow” feeling. Because, in reality, that’s not what Toyota is all about. It’s akin to buying a box of Kellogg’s
Cornflakes at ShopRite. You know what to expect before you open the box. Chances are you won’t be disappointed, nor will you be blown away once you take that first bite. Toyota plays it safe all around, so you know what to expect from the moment you step into the cabin. As far as the EPA fuel consumption ratings go, this Highlander gets an overall 23 miles per gallon in gas mileage – 27 mpg on the highway and 20 mpg in city driving. The EPA estimates that it will cost on average about $1,750 per year in gas to run the Highlander as it uses about 4.3 gallons of gas for every 100 miles driven. The new model Highlander has not been given the government’s five star safety crash test rating yet. The 2020 Highlander comes standard with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Sirius XM, Waze and Amazon Alexa compatibility. There are six different trim levels: the base LE; LE Plus; Limited; Platinum; SE and XLE. Peter Perrotta’s On The Road column appears regularly. He may be contacted at peter@capitalmotorcars.com

Testimony will continue on proposed used car dealership By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer
HOWELL – Testimony is expected to resume on Dec. 3 on an applicant’s proposal to establish a used car dealership on Route 9 south in Howell. The application is before the Howell Planning Board. The applicant, Omnicos Realty Inc., and the owner, Robertsville Development Co., LLC, are seeking preliminary and ďŹ nal major site plan approval to construct a sales facility for used cars on Route 9 south between West Farms Road and White Street. According to the application, there are two phases of construction proposed: phase one would consist of a 2,400-squarefoot sales building and an attached 2,000-square-foot, four-bay maintenance building; and phase two would consist of an attached 2,400-square-foot, six-bay maintenance building. Attorney Vincent Halleran represented

the application at the board’s Nov. 5 meeting. John Soukas, a principal of the applicant, said he has been a Howell resident since 1987. He said that in 2015 he purchased All Sales Auto Group (now AutoPik.com) which is on Route 9 north. He said that site is in poor condition and he told the board members he wants to move to the proposed location on Route 9 south. Engineer Bruce Jacobs described the two phases of construction for the board members, He said phase one would consist of the construction of a sales building and a maintenance garage, and phase two, which he said would follow in about ďŹ ve years, would consist of the construction of a second maintenance garage. Access to the business will be from Route 9. “It is proposed to have a display area for 179 cars, primarily on the northern portion of the site. There is a small display area of seven parking spaces ‌ at the Editorial: 732-358-5200 Fax: 732-385-8868 Email: news@thetritownnews.com Sports Email:

Cigarette smoke contains many PAHs, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Poling said tests of the ground water and the soil around the construction debris showed the ground water is not contaminated, “but the construction debris, including asphalt pavement, is still an issue because it is a contaminant.â€? The applicant is proposing engineering controls for the project. “We already have an engineering control which is the fencing around the site to prohibit access to the rear of the site. As far as the construction debris and the asphalt, that is to be removed, mainly because in a detention pond it has to be excavated,â€? Poling said. He said the site has impacted some wetlands, but he testiďŹ ed that the applicant has approval from the state for the impact and encroachment. “It is a unique site because it is already highly disturbed so you are not losing good wildlife habitat or vegetation. From that standpoint it is probably one of the better sites that could be used because of its current condition,â€? Poling said. The board is expected to continue its review of the proposed project on Dec. 3.

Jacobs said the application complies with all of the conditional use requirements of Howell’s municipal ordinances. Environmental consultant David Poling testiďŹ ed that his involvement with the Route 9 south site dates back to about 2005, when he reviewed wetlands issues. He said other consultants have examined the property dating back to 2002 and told the board members there is a level of contamination present that is being addressed. “When I was brought on I did additional work to basically verify there was not any other contamination. We did ďŹ nd additional contamination on the site. “SpeciďŹ cally, there is an area in the back that is contaminated from Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) from a detention pond that is fed from Route 9. There is large area ‌ that has construction debris in it,â€? Poling said. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are a class of chemicals that occur naturally in coal, crude oil and gasoline. They are also produced when coal, oil, gas, wood, garbage and tobacco are burned. PAHs generated from these sources can bind to or form small particles in the air.

Pauline Smith, 77, former councilwoman, passes away By CHARLES DAYE Staff Writer
HOWELL – Pauline M. Smith, 77, a former member of the Howell Township Council, died on Nov. 2 at CentraState Medical Center, Freehold Township. Smith was well known in Howell for decades as a staunch advocate for preserving open space and farmland, protecting the township’s environment and ensuring the quality of life for the community’s residents. She served on the Township Council for more than 10 ten years and on the Planning Board for more than 20 years. During the Nov. 10 meeting of the Township Council, Mayor Theresa Berger asked residents to keep Smith in their prayers. Deputy Mayor Evelyn O’Donnell said a service that was held for Smith at St. Catherine of Siena Church, Farmingdale, on Nov. 7 was “lovely.” “It was really very nice, well attended and I know the Smith family is very happy for everything she did for the Township Council, the Howell Green Team and the Environmental Commission. “The other night at a Planning Board meeting, one of the professionals came in and made note of how careful (Smith) was with the environmental sensitivity of any project that came before the board. “I thought it was so appropriate that he would mention that she carried her love of Howell throughout, even (development) applications,” O’Donnell said. Councilman Thomas Russo said, “I remember when I first got involved going to council meetings, watching Pauline up there yelling at everybody on the dais. That was always very interesting and she was truly passionate about where she stood on the issues. I send my deepest condolences to the family.” According to an obituary posted online by the Higgins Memorial Home, Freehold Borough, Smith was born in Long Branch and raised in Atlantic Township (now Colts Neck). She was a 1962 graduate of Freehold Regional High School, Freehold Borough, and later attended college for municipal government and planning certifications. Smith moved to Howell upon her marriage to Donald F. Smith in November 1963 and remained a resident of the community for 57 years. She worked as a secretary at McGrawHill, New York, and as a teacher’s aide.
She volunteered in the community and at her church. Smith was predeceased by her husband, Donald; her son, Paul John; her parents, Joseph J. and Stella Millen Cicalese; her brother, Joseph Cicalese Jr.; and a sister, Stella. Surviving are a son, Donald F. Smith Jr.; brothers, Tony Cicalese, Nick Cicalese and his wife, Carol, Alex Cicalese, and Louie Cicalese and his wife, Connie; sisters, Anna Tompkins, Rose Mary Baehny and Betty Williams; a sister-in-law, Marjorie Caffrey; many nieces and nephews, including her goddaughter Jill Skelding; numerous cousins, most notably Veronica Cicalese. She is also survived by Kim Rufano, who she helped raise. A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at St. Catherine of Siena Church, Farmingdale. Interment was at St. Rose of Lima Cemetery, Freehold Township.
