Work continued on the morning of July 9 on the realignment of Halls Mill Road in Freehold Township. The Earle Asphalt Company, Wall Township, was awarded a $27 million contract by the Monmouth County Board of Freeholders to undertake the project. Halls Mill Road is being realigned between Three Brooks Road and Route 524 (Elton-Adelphia Road). This view is looking north from Edinburgh Drive, where the realigned Halls Mill Road will intersect Route 524 and a traffic light will be constructed. Plans for the Halls Mill Road realignment project date back to the 1980s. The freeholders have said that all but $471,000 of the cost of the improvements will be reimbursed by the federal government.

he Manalapan Planning Board has granted preliminary approval to an application that proposed the construction of five homes in a new cul de sac that will intersect with Smithburg Road in the southern portion of Manalapan. Final approval for the project will be sought by the applicant at a later date. During a virtual meeting, board members heard testimony regarding Galloping Hills. Appearing on behalf of the applicant, PRC Development Company Inc., were attorney Peter Wersinger and professional engineer and planner John Vincenti. Wersinger said the property where the five homes and one detention basin are proposed to be constructed totals 20 acres. He called on Vincenti to provide additional details for the board and its professionals, planner Jennifer Beahm and engineer Brian Boccanfuso. Vincenti said the project is proposed in Manalapan’s rural residential zone on property that was previously owned by the Bulk family and used as a landscape nursery. Boccanfuso said the homes are a permitted use in the zone, the lots conform to municipal regulations and the project will not generate a significant amount of traffic. Vincentil continued his testimony by stating the PRC Development Company Inc. acquired the property, which has 1,200 feet of frontage on Smithburg Road, in 2016. Galloping Hills at Manalapan LLC

County breaks ground for courthouse security vestibule By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer

onstruction has begun on an approximate $10 million expansion of the Monmouth County Courthouse. The project seeks to increase security measures at the building, which sits between Court and Monument streets in Freehold Borough. A groundbreaking ceremony was held at the courthouse on July 9 to recognize the start of construction on the West Wing Security Vestibule, a new section of the courthouse that will screen individuals entering the building. Security screenings are currently conducted in the entrance hallways of the East and West wings at the courthouse; these areas will be replaced by the expansion for all future screenings upon completion, according to county officials. At the event, Monmouth County Freeholder Lillian Burry explained that the areas being used for security screening purposes were designed and constructed prior to the need for such screenings. As a result, those areas do not provide the appropriate space to screen people who are entering the building. The expansion is intended to address the issue by creating a new vestibule for screenings with the appropriate space. “The new security vestibule demonstrates the county’s commitment to the safety of the judges, jurors, public and the sheriff’s officers,” Burry said. According to county officials, the expansion will cost about $10 million and is anticipated to be completed by the winter of 2022. It will be approximately 3,400 square feet in size and officials said it was designed to blend into the existing architecture and character of the building. “It’s worth every dollar,” Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone said. “This (project) is much needed in Monmouth County. Ensuring the safety of everyone who goes in and out of the courthouse is absolutely essential and the construction of this new security vestibule will help make that possible.” Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden said the new security vestibule will allow authorities to increase the number of X-ray machines in the building from one to three or four. “This project provides needed security,” Golden said. “It is the constitutional duty of the sheriff’s office to protect the courthouse.”

Monmouth County Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone speaks during a July 9 groundbreaking ceremony to mark the start of construction of the West Wing security vestibule at the Monmouth County Courthouse, Freehold Borough. The new vestibule will incorporate the latest security innovations and enable the Sheriff’s Office to safely and efficiently screen all building occupants. Work will also include the reconstruction of the East Wing main entrance stairs, landing and handrails, along with the restoration of additional exterior entrance stairs throughout the courthouse. County officials said the scope of the project is to ensure safe entrance and exit for the general public, court officials and staff from the building.

Monmouth County Assignment Judge Lisa P. Thornton thanked the county officials for pursuing the expansion. “We judges often rely on the community,” Thornton said. “With this commitment, I speak not only for the judges, but for (everyone) who comes through these doors every day. We are forever grateful for this commitment.” In addition to the construction of the West Wing Security Vestibule, the project provides for the reconstruction of the East Wing main entrance stairs, landing and handrails; and the restoration of additional exterior entrance stairs throughout the building, according to county officials. All of the improvements will comply with standards enumerated in the Americans with Disabilities Act. “We have a lot of work,” Arnone said. “This is an older building and it needs to be updated.”

It’s time to get health care now With the downward trend in COVID-19 incidents and the easing of restrictions statewide, it is time to seek the health care services that you may have postponed. Hackensack Meridian Health facilities are prepared and enforcing strict sanitizing protocols to ensure the safety of our patients, physicians and team members. Emergencies “Do not resist going to the emergency room due to fear of being exposed to COVID-19. There are certain conditions that need immediate attention and cannot wait,” advises Frank Citara, MBA, chief hospital executive, Hackensack Meridian Bayshore Medical Center in Holmdel. “This is especially true in people showing signs of heart attack and stroke.” If experiencing any warning signs of a stroke or heart attack, call 911 immediately. Warning signs of a stroke include balance issues, facial drooping, vision problems, arm weakness and speech difficulty. Warning signs of a heart attack include chest discomfort such as pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain; discomfort in other areas of the upper body such as the arms, back, neck, jaw or stomach; shortness of breath; or cold sweats, nausea or light headedness. Surgery and Procedures at Hospitals If you postponed an elective surgery or procedure due to the coronavirus, now is the time to get care. If you were due for an important screening or diagnostic test – such as a mammogram, colonoscopy, EKG, CT scan or lung cancer screening – get it scheduled now. Screenings check for signs of disease before you have any symptoms. The earlier your doctor finds a problem, the

easier it is to treat. What to Expect During a Visit Safety protocols are in place to ensure the health and well-being of patients and staff in physician practices, as well as throughout all Hackensack Meridian Health facilities: • Temperatures are taken daily of team members, physicians, patients and approved visitors prior to entering facilities. • All patients, employees and visitors are required to wear a face mask or face covering in hospitals and physician practices. • Waiting rooms are marked with signage indicating appropriate spacing between visitors. When possible, patients can wait in their cars until their appointment time. • Appointment times are spread out to reduce the number of patients waiting. Expanded hours and telemedicine visits help to prevent crowds and allow for flexible scheduling. • Rigorous cleaning and disinfecting of patient areas occurs multiple times each day, concentrating on frequently touched surfaces, equipment and exam rooms. • Patients are encouraged to access their information via online applications, such as MyChart, which also offer easy, secure messaging direct to providers.

Marlboro planners approve project with affordable units By PETER ELACQUA Staff Writer

MARLBORO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An application that proposed the construction of 280 homes, including affordable housing, has been approved by the Marlboro Planning Board. The application submitted by El at Marlboro 79, LLC, was part of a settlement agreement related to Marlboroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obligation to provide opportunities for the development of affordable housing in the community. The application was represented by attorney Salvatore Alfieri during the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s July 1 meeting. Affordable housing is defined as housing that is sold or rented at below market rates to individuals and families whose income meets certain guidelines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to entertain a project of this size or scope, but a judge told us we have to,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Jonathan Hornik, who sits on the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been dreading these days coming when we had to address the unfulfilled affordable housing problem of Marlboro, which was created well before any of our time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This application is only here because we are required by a court order to satisfy our (affordable housing) obligation. That being said, what we try to do when we deal with a court ordered settlement is to come up with products the town needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a second generation family in Marlboro and my kids will be a third generation and they need a place to live. These are the types of units we need for the next generation. I want to compliment (the applicant) for coming up with a product this town will use and need,â&#x20AC;? Hornik said. The application involved a 34-acre property on the northbound side of Route 79 opposite Butchers Lane. The development site is just south of Ryan Road. A portion of the Henry Hudson Trail adjoins the site along the rear of the property line. The applicant proposed subdividing the property into 226 lots, consisting of 224 lots for attached townhouses of at least 2,577 square feet each, a 2.7-acre lot for 56 affordable housing units and a 14.6-acre lot containing roads, a clubhouse and a storm water management basin. Access to the

development would be from Route 79. The 224 townhouses were proposed to be constructed in 16 eight-unit, threestory buildings and 16 six-unit, three-story buildings. Each townhouse would have three bedrooms and a two-car garage. The 56 affordable housing units were proposed to be constructed in two threestory buildings. The application proposed 11 one-bedroom units, 33 two-bedroom units and 12 three-bedroom units. According to Mitchell Newman of Lennar Homes, the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s developer, each townhouse will have a two-car garage, a basement and an 8-foot-tall privacy fence for the backyard. Newman said the price of the market rate units would be based on prices in Marlboro when the homes become available, which he estimated to be between $400,000 and $500,000. In addition to a garage provided with each townhouse, 226 on street parking spaces were proposed, with 113 parking spaces for the townhouses and 113 parking spaces for the affordable housing units. Hornik said his primary concern with the application was how it would affect traffic on Route 79, a state highway that runs between Freehold Borough and Matawan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is really important to me and I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not in our purview, but I want a traffic light put here. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what it costs and what it takes to engineer it, but it is really important to me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t (base my vote) on traffic, but â&#x20AC;Ś I will push as hard as I can to require a light in front of this development because I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s necessary,â&#x20AC;? the mayor said. The applicantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representatives agreed to look into constructing a traffic light at the Route 79 access at the new residential development. Following the testimony, a motion to approve the El at Marlboro 79 application was passed with â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? voted from Chairman Mark Barenburg, Vice Chairman Andrew Pargament, Township Councilwoman Carol Mazzola, Hornik and board members Neil Betoff, Rohit Gupta, David Gagliano, Lynn Franco, Steven Kansky and Andrew Kessler.

Preliminary OK given to five homes at Manalapan site is the contract purchaser. The property on Smithburg Road where the five homes are proposed is 500 feet north of Route 537. There will not be any access to the homes from Route 537. The minimum lot size for each home is 80,000 square feet (about 2 acres) and the application called for the land to be subdivided to accommodate the homes and the detention basin. Each home will be between 3,000 and 3,500 square feet, with a basement, and each home will be serviced by an individual well and septic system, according to Vincenti. The homes will have between four and five bedrooms and a minimum two-car garage. Some homes may have a three-car garage. Each home will have a 140-footlong paved driveway, according to Vincenti’s testimony. Certain variances and design waivers related to the detention basin were sought by the applicant and approved by the board. Beahm said the relief being requested by the applicant was “minimal” and she offered no objection to the request. The property to be developed is a short distance from a Quick Chek convenience store at the corner of Route 537 and Smithburg Road and in the vicinity of the Charleston Springs Golf Course in neighboring Millstone Township. Homes on Marylou Court in Manalapan back up to the property that will become Galloping Hills, according to Vincenti. He testified that in planning the development, the applicant considered having the homes front on Smithburg Road and creating five driveways along the road, which is under the jurisdiction of Monmouth County (Route 527). Vincenti said a decision was eventually made to construct the proposed 500-footlong cul de sac and have all five residential driveways on the new road, instead of on Smithburg Road. Vincenti said county officials discouraged having driveways on Smithburg Road and he called the proposed driveways on the new cul de sac a safer option for vehicles.

sionals agreed that having the five driveways on the cul de sac was the preferred option for the homes. Although county officials did not request a sidewalk on Smithburg Road, the developer proposed constructing a sidewalk on the road that will extend 400 feet north of the cul de sac (toward Randall Drive) and 350 feet south of the cul de sac (toward Route 537). Board members accepted the proposal, although they noted the sidewalk heading

south would not reach the Quick Chek at the corner of Route 537. They said the idea of having the developer build a sidewalk on a portion of Smithburg Road was to create a safer environment for pedestrians. Board members said having a sidewalk in place when the five homes are built – even if the sidewalk does not cover the developer’s entire 1,200-foot frontage due to environmental concerns – would be a positive step if county officials decide to

construct a sidewalk on Smithburg Road in the future. The developer proposed designating conservation easements along Manalapan Brook. There will be a sidewalk on each side of the cul de sac, as requested by board members and agreed to by the applicant. Following Vincenti’s testimony during the May 14 meeting, board members raised no other issues with the application and voted 9-0 to grant preliminary approval to Galloping Hills.

School board takes steps to address health issues By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer

FREEHOLD – The Freehold Borough K-8 School District Board of Education has authorized the $109,200 purchase of five thermal imaging cameras to help protect the health of students and staff members when the district’s schools reopen later in the year. The district’s three schools closed in March and remained closed for the duration of the 2019-20 academic year due to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. On June 29, board members approved the purchase of five Mobotix thermal imaging cameras and related equipment from Ergotron. Each unit will cost $21,840 for a $109,200 total. According to district administrators, funding for the purchase will come from the district’s approved Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act federal funding.

Schools are expected to reopen in September for the 2020-21 school year with certain restrictions in place to help prevent the spread of the virus. According to district administrators, the cameras will be used to monitor the body temperature of individuals who enter the district’s facilities. An elevated body temperature may be a symptom of coronavirus. The purchase of the devices was made in consultation with the Freehold Borough Health Department and the school district’s physician, according to administrators. Board members authorized Assistant Superintendent of Business Joseph Howe to purchase 50 hand sanitizer stations with dispensers and 75 hand sanitizer stands with dispensers from Visual Sound. The purchase of the hand sanitizer stations/stands will total $22,100. According to district administrators, it is anticipated that 75% of that amount will be reimbursable by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

NJSIAA: Start of high school fall sports season pushed back In a press release dated July 10, the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) said the official start of the fall sports season for Garden State high schools is being pushed back by approximately one month in the face of the ongoing 2020 coronavirus health crisis. Summer workouts for high school student-athletes – which may begin on July 13 – will continue until Aug. 28. Following summer workouts, there will be a two-week hiatus from Aug. 29 through Sept. 13, during which only virtual meetings will be permitted, and only related to in-season (fall) sports, according to the press release. Under the current plan – developed by the NJSIAA Sports Advisory Task Force, which is composed of athletic directors from across the state – official practices for all fall sports may begin on Sept. 14. Competition will start on Sept. 28 for girls tennis and on Oct. 1 for all other

sports except football, which will kick off its season on Oct. 2. Regular season competition will conclude on Oct. 23 for girls tennis, Nov. 7 for football, and Nov. 12 for all other fall sports. Limited postseason play will run from Oct. 24-31 for girls tennis, and Nov. 13-22 for all other sports, according to the press release. Schools that do not participate in the postseason may continue to play until Nov.

– while making sure that health, safety, emotional well-being and academics come first. We have a different model than some other types of programs that are far smaller in scale and operate independently. “We have a duty to ensure that New Jersey’s schools and their more than 1.5 million students and teachers, including 283,000 high school student-athletes, can first return to school and their academics, and then participate in extracurricular activities like sports,” Maguire said.

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA

2020 Toyota C-HR Limited

hen one strives to stand out – like going out on the limb with a way different style – there always stands the chance that the result will be a “you either love it, or hate it” reaction. Pink hair. Blue hair. Purple hair. Maybe, I’m old fashioned, but something about it just doesn’t look right to me. When the folks at Japanese car importer Toyota began toying with the idea of the crossover SUV CH-R model a few years back, Peter Perrotta it began as a very edgy looking and sculpted concept car. A lot of these types of cars never make it to the mass market production line. But, Toyota went out on the limb in 2018 and introduced the C-HR crossover as a worldwide, mass market production car. The CH-Rs that are sold in the United States are actually made in Turkey. To be honest, I had never even heard of this model until the publicist from Toyota scheduled me for a one week test drive for review recently. When I told my brother, who sells Toyota’s in Minnesota, that I was going to be test driving one he said, “You’re going to hate it.” Well, after one week behind the wheel of the 2020 Toyota CH-R Limited recently, I must confess, I didn’t hate it. I kind of liked it, with some reservations. First off, before I get into all the technical details, being the journalist that I am, I rushed to research just why this compact crossover is called the CH-R. The answer is a bit confusing, but here goes. It stands for Compact High Rider, Cross Hatch Run-about or Coupe High

Rider. At first glance, the exterior of this vehicle looks like a very snazzy, sculpted flying wedge with the back end of the car sitting up noticeably higher than the front end. Hence, all those different CH-R names. In it’s review, Car and Driver gave the CH-R high marks for what it termed its “look at me” styling “cheeky interior design” and “plenty of standard features”. In fact, it is a stylish looking cross over SUV, the smallest Toyota offers in its lineup. In a very edgy design feature, the handles for the rear doors of this compact SUV are located at the top of the windows. When I first attempted to open one of the back doors, it threw me for a loop for a few seconds. I had never seen a design like this. But, at the end of the day, for this vehicle that design fits and works. The front seat cockpit and passenger seat ergonomics are superior, nicely designed and comfortable. The back seat, on the other hand, is a bit cramped. The sticking points – and issues most car reviewers have knocked it for – is the fact that this vehicle is not offered in a fourwheel-drive drive train and only comes with a somewhat inadequate 2.0 liter, four cylinder engine that puts out a modest 144 horsepower. Quite frankly, this car is crying out for a turbo boost engine so that it can get a little more giddy up than the 0 to 60 in 11 seconds performance. The 2.0 liter engine is coupled with the ever popular CVT (continuously variable transmission). These transmissions don’t shift gears, using one continuous gear mode instead. When you stomp on the accelerator, for quick passes or entrance ramp acceleration, the engine just sort of sits there and whines. When I asked my brother if they sell a lot of these CH-Rs in Minnesota he said that the fact that it isn’t offered with a fourwheel-drive option is a major drawback, especially in a snowy state.

2020 Toyota C-HR Limited

Whether or not Toyota has any plans to add a bit more power and a four-wheeldrive option remains to be seen. On the positive side of that, the 2.0 liter engine is fuel efficient. The EPA Department of Transportation fuel economy ratings for this car come in at an impressive 29 miles per gallon average – with 31 MPG on the highway and 27 in city driving. The EPA estimates that the average annual fuel cost of operating the CH-R is a modest $1,400 as it uses about 3.4 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. Toyota offers the 2020 CH-R in three different trim levels, the base LE (starting at $22,415), the mid level XLE ($24,450) and the top of the line Limited ($27,470). The test car I drove for one week was the Limited model in Hot Lava with silver/ black. The base MSRP sticker price – with destination included – was $27,470. The only additional options on my tester were $465 for an audio plus HD upgraded radio and $500 for two-tone paint. The final sticker price on the tester came in at $28,435. As most Toyotas do, this car gets high quality points for its structure, design and

safety. On the government’s 5-star safety ratings crash test it received an overall 5-star rating. For the frontal crash test it received five stars for driver side and four for the passenger. In the side crash test, it got five stars for both the front seat and rear seat tests. And, on the rollover test it got four stars. The all important these days, infotainment system in this car is above average. It features an 8-inch touchscreen with six speakers. The audio system is average. However, the functionality of the infotainment system is good. It is fairly easy to sync up your phone, music (from a iPod) and connect to the Apple Car Play or Android Auto system for navigation. Overall, the CH-R is worth checking out if you are in the market for a compact crossover SUV. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it is sure to attract enough consumers to make this an interesting consideration in this segment.

Warren Beatty Hollywood’s Playboy and Producing Prodigy By Taylor Neumann, ReMIND Magazine

arren Beatty was born Henry Warren Beaty on March 30, 1937, in Richmond, Virginia. He came from a Baptist family of teachers and has an older sister, actress Shirley MacLaine. Though Beatty was a star football player in high school, he turned down numerous scholarships to instead attend Northwestern University to study liberal arts. He left after one year to attend acting school in New York City and began to take roles on television, even appearing on The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis during its first season (1959-60). In 1961 Beatty starred in his first movie, Splendor in the Grass, alongside

PHOTO CREDIT: WARREN BEATTY: COURTESY OF KING FEATURES SYNDICATE

Natalie Wood. The film was a huge suc-

cess and gave Beatty Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor and New Star of the Year, the latter of which he won. This was also the time when Beatty showed interest not only in acting but also in producing films. He said of his early roles, “When I acted in films, I used to come with suggestions about the script, the lighting, the wardrobe, and people used to say, ‘Waddya want, to produce the picture as well?’ And I used to say that I supposed I did.” His first production, which began at age 29, was Bonnie and Clyde (1967). He not only starred in the film but also selected most of the cast, oversaw the script and chose the writers and director. Bonnie and Clyde was nominated for 10 Academy Awards and seven Golden Globe Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor. Beatty produced, cowrote and acted in Shampoo (1975), which received four Academy Award and five Golden Globe nominations. He did it again — and added director to the list — with Heaven Can Wait in 1978, nominated for nine Oscars and winning three Golden Globes. Reds (1981) earned Beatty four individual Os-

car nominations — Best Picture, Director, Actor and Original Screenplay — among the film’s total 12 nominations. To this day, he is the only person to have been nominated for acting in, directing, writing and producing the same film — and he’s done it twice. In 1990, Beatty produced, directed and starred in Dick Tracy, about the comic-strip detective, one of the highestgrossing films of the year. He followed up with Bugsy, producing and starring as the real-life gangster Bugsy Siegel. Both films were critically and commercially successful, earning a total of 17 Academy Award and 12 Golden Globe nominations between them. Beatty was famous for his womanizing, playboy reputation — even inspiring a verse in Carly Simon’s famous song “You’re So Vain” — but has been married to actress Annette Bening since 1992, with the two having four children together. As of 2016, he was reportedly developing a sequel to Dick Tracy, but there have been no recent updates regarding the project.

Why have our customers chosen us over another window company? 1. Fibrex® Material Our Fibrex material was researched by Andersen en for 30 years before it was installed in even one home. Our Fibrex material is twice as strong as vinyl. 2. Unique Look Our window has the elegant look and strength of a wood window, but our Fibrex material doesn’t demand the same maintenance of wood.* 3. Accountability There’s no frustrating “middle man” to deal with. We manage the entire process–from building to installation to the warranty–on windows and patio doors.
