T
estimony is expected to resume on Aug. 20 on an application that proposes the construction of a Taco Bell restaurant at the corner of Route 9 South and Taylors Mills Road in Manalapan. Yum & Chill TB Holdings, LLC, is proposing to demolish a Shell gas and service station at the corner and to construct a Taco Bell. The applicant is represented by attorney Peter G. Licata, of the firm Sonnenblick, Parker and Selvers, Freehold Township. Initial testimony was presented during the July 16 meeting of the Manalapan Zoning Board of Adjustment. Yum & Chill TB Holdings is seeking preliminary and final major site plan approval with “c” bulk variances and “d” use variance relief to permit the demolition of the Shell station and the construction of a 2,578-square-foot Taco Bell. The Taco Bell is proposed to have dine-in and drive-up service. The 0.8-acre property is owned by PMG New Jersey, LLC, and is in the Office Park 3 zone.

Climate change in New Jersey: warmer and wetter
D
oes New Jersey seem rainier than usual? Are the winters milder? How about high tide flooding at the
shore? It’s not your imagination. According to a new report by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, increased rainfall, warmer temperatures and more coastal flooding are all happening right now due to a changing climate. The Scientific Report on Climate Change is the state’s comprehensive effort to gather the latest and most reliable information on the current and anticipated impacts of climate change. “Many of the impacts of climate change are already familiar to New Jerseyans, including increasing temperatures, rising sea levels and more frequent and intense storms,” Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Catherine R. McCabe said. “As our climate continues to change, it is urgent that New Jerseyans understand what future impacts are likely to occur, and when,” she said. Here are some key findings: • New Jersey’s average temperature is already 3.5 degrees higher than the first records from 1895. Continued warming at historically unprecedented levels is projected, with the state’s average annual temperature expected to rise another 4.1 to 5.7 degrees Fahrenheit by 2050. • Annual rainfall in New Jersey is expected to increase 7% to 11% by 2050, and it could occur in more intense rain events

from fossil fuels will help. New Jersey can also employ “natural solutions” to climate change, using the ability of trees, vegetation and soils to sequester carbon. That means preserving as much forested land as possible, letting forests mature, planting native trees on fallow lands and in urban and suburban landscapes (and protecting them from deer and invasive species), restoring wetlands, and transitioning to sustainable agricultural practices that sequester carbon. The report also provides New Jerseyans with information to plan for the changes we know are coming. “This report will empower governments, businesses and people across the state to better understand how climate change is impacting and will continue to impact all aspects of life in New Jersey,” said David Rosenblatt, the state’s Chief Resilience Officer and Assistant Commissioner for Climate and Flood Resilience at the DEP. “The more we learn about and experience the impacts of climate change in New Jersey, the clearer our urgent need for resilience planning becomes,” he said.

Manalapan mourns passing of FRHSD school board member Staff Writer
MANALAPAN – Jennifer Sutera, a community volunteer and Manalapan’s elected representative on the Freehold Regional High School District Board of Education, has died at the age of 63. Sutera passed away in her home on July 24. She was a native of New York and moved to Manalapan more than 20 years ago, according to an obituary posted online by the Holmdel Funeral Home. Sutera was a graduate of Brooklyn College. She was a teacher for more than 30 years and taught at St. Thomas Acquinas School, Brooklyn, N.Y., at Holy Rosary School, Staten Island, N.Y., and at Holy Family School, Lakewood. She volunteered as a CCD teacher in her home parish of St. Thomas More, Manalapan, according to her obituary. Sutera represented Manalapan on the Freehold Regional High School District Board of Education since 2010. She served as president in 2017 and was currently serving as vice president. “She was an amazing woman who cared deeply about her family and community and who will be dearly missed,” Superintendent of Schools Charles Sampson said. “I had the pleasure of spending my entire time here at FRHSD with her as a member of our board and feel deeply for her family who are in our thoughts during this difficult time,” Sampson said.

Sutera volunteered in the community for events such as the Mayor’s Charity Gala and Manalapan Day. She worked as an office administrator for the Manalapan Construction Department. Manalapan Deputy Mayor Susan Cohen said Sutera’s passing was “quite a shock for us all.” “Manalapan mourns the loss of a wonderful public servant, community volunteer and employee. Jennifer was dedicated to helping the residents of Manalapan and was also so full of life.
“Jennifer spent countless volunteer hours with the Manalapan Arts Council and the Mayor’s Charity Gala. She was loved by her friends and will be greatly missed by all those who worked alongside her, volunteered with her and knew her,” Cohen said. Sutera is survived by her husband of 39 years, Stephen; son, Stephen, and his wife Gina; daughters, Lauren, and Jacqueline and her fiancee, Stephen Zigari; grandchildren Ava and Nicolette Sutera; mother, Connie Ciccone; brothers, Laurence and

inside and provide three tables outside, with 25 parking spaces provided for employees and customers. He said Taco Bell would have one entrance/exit from Taylors Mills Road and one entrance/exit from Route 9. The existing gas station has two driveways from both roads. Leber said left turns from the Taco Bell property to Taylors Mills Road would be prohibited. Leber testified that the hours of operation for the Taco Bell dining room would be from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. and he said the drive-up window would remain open until 2:30 a.m. The application proposes a decrease in the impervious coverage on the property, he said. Troutman, of McDonough and Rea, Westfield, said the Taco Bell would primarily draw its customers from existing traffic on Route 9 and on Taylors Mills Road. He said the change in use from a gas and service station to a fast food restaurant would not significantly change the traffic at the site. Troutman said the primary concern for the applicant is the interaction of the property with Taylors Mills Road and he said,
“I believe the design of the site does everything possible to make it better.” The zoning board’s engineer, Brian Boccanfuso, questioned Troutman about several aspects of the site’s design, including the plan for stacking vehicles in the drive-up lane. Board member Mollie Kamen said individuals who want to travel west when leaving Taco Bell – who will be prohibited from turning left onto Taylors Mills Road – will have to turn right onto Route 9 South and then drive through a nearby residential area (Briar Hill Drive, Country Lane, Princeton Drive) to get back to Taylors Mills Road to turn left and head west. Troutman said most of the vehicles entering the Taco Bell site will be pass-by traffic that will not have to drive through the neighborhood Kamen mentioned, but he acknowledged there could be a small percentage of vehicles that might travel on Briar Hill Drive, Country Lane and Princeton Drive to return to Taylors Mills Road after leaving Taco Bell. Troutman was asked by board members to provide additional information regarding the location when the public hearing on the Taco Bell application resumes at the board’s Aug. 20 meeting.

t this point of the year, the pandemic has truly decimated movie theaters. With rare theaters open and those that are at a limited capacity, it has been a lost summer at the box office. We’ve turned to the handful of pop-up drive-in theaters and our streaming devices in amazing numbers. And even when there, we are gobbling up comfort food movies. And Paramount Home Entertainment has three titles from our past that have anniversary editions ready for you to enjoy with a new generation of fans. Let’s start the discussion with a 25year anniversary for Clueless, the film that established the fashion icon Cher (Alicia Silverstone) and the study of being a teen in the ’90s. Clueless is new on Limited Edition Blu-ray Steelbook, as well as
other formats. Viewers get to relive the laughs with the cast that includes a young Paul Rudd along with Brittany Murphy, Stacey Dash, Donald Faison, Jeremy Sisto, Breckin Meyer and Wallace Shawn, just to name a few. As if you don’t want to add this to your collection. But does this 25-year-old film stand the test of time? I would argue it is still a fun watch today. And it is not just for the fashion, cellphones or pop culture references of the day — those still have weight and can connect generations — but the entire story of not looking past the obvious and not passing judgment on others before really getting to know them is a universally good message for today’s generations. While they may not be so petty in the halls, today’s youths take the argument to social media and become keyboard warriors with little repercussions for their actions. Cher and her friends had to face what they did or said every day and could

30 years since the release of the romantic drama that is Ghost. Swayze stars alongside Demi Moore with a great role for Whoopi Goldberg — she wasn’t always a talk show host — that won her an Academy Award. Part of the Paramount Presents collection, the release of Ghost brings a Blu-ray home with the most famous pottery scene I can remember. It’s the 30th anniversary of this classic that took the summer by storm in 1990. And last, but certainly not least, it’s the 40-year anniversary for Airplane! (“Surely you can’t be serious.” “I am serious. And don’t call me Shirley.”) The PG-rated comedy, which wouldn’t carry that rating today, brings jokes to the screen that would probably not make it in the current environment. Watch it with your tongue planted firmly in your cheek. Quotable lines abound from this 1980 release that set the stage for countless comedy efforts through the ’80s. So there you have it — a three-course meal of comfort food options, all celebrating anniversaries this year and all with new Blu-ray releases available to expand your collection of some of the classic Hollywood favorites.

Wemrock Brook School awarded sustainability grant
T
he Wemrock Brook School in the Manalapan-Englishtown Regional School District has been awarded a $2,000 Sustainable Jersey capacity building grant funded by the PSEG Foundation. Five $10,000 grants and 25 $2,000 grants were awarded to elementary through high school public schools and school districts across New Jersey, according to a press release. The grants fund sustainability and capacity building projects such as sustainable food production programs, waste reduction and recycling initiatives, health and wellness programs, outdoor classrooms and more. The “Say No to Plastic!” grant will help fund a plastic reduction campaign targeted toward the use of disposable water bottles. It will fund the installation of a refillable water bottle station. The installation of the water bottle station will be partnered with a campaign to educate pupils about the importance of access to drinking water, according to the press release. “We are proud to be able to support these important projects and look forward to hearing more from each grantee about how they make a difference in schools across New Jersey,” said Randall Solomon, executive director for Sustainable Jersey. “These grants will add momentum to solving our sustainability challenges while helping to ensure our future well-being,”
Solomon said. The PSEG Foundation has contributed $2.2 million in funding to the Sustainable Jersey Grants Program for municipalities and schools, according to the press release. Proposals were evaluated by an independent Blue Ribbon Selection Committee. The Sustainable Jersey for Schools grants are intended to help school districts and schools make progress toward a sustainable future in general, and specifically toward Sustainable Jersey for Schools certification, according to the press release. Currently, 351 school districts and 965 schools have registered to work toward Sustainable Jersey for Schools certification.

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA
2020 Cadillac XT6
T
he days of the big, long and large finned Cadillac sedans are long gone. A distant memory mostly enjoyed in old movies anymore, those Caddys were the pride of my old neighborhood in the Bronx in the ’60s. Sundays were usually reserved for going to church and then finding a nice shady spot where you could wash and wax your Caddy before preening it around the neighborhood. Like most Italian American famiPeter Perrotta lies in my neighborhood, we didn’t have much money, but we enjoyed great food and we some how always managed to have a big-finned Cadillac as our family car. My dad was a fairly large man and with six kids he reasoned it was one of the only cars that could fit his brood. There weren’t any three row SUVs back then. Besides that, I could still hear him saying, “There’s nothing like the ride of a Cadillac”. Well, many decades later, I must admit there still isn’t anything like the ride of a Cadillac. I recently spent one week behind the wheel of the all new 2020 Cadillac XT6 Premium Luxury AWD mid-sized, threerow SUV, and if smoothness, comfort and luxury are what you are after, this vehicle certainly fits the bill. While the XT6 is a brand new addition to the Cadillac lineup for 2020, it is based on the same platform as GM’s Buick Enclave, which was last redesigned in 2018. Cadillac offers the new XT6 in front and all wheel drive versions and in two trim lines, the Premium Luxury – like my tester – and the Sport model. The XT6 only comes with one engine choice, a 3.6-liter, V-6 coupled with a 9-speed automatic transmission. This engine puts out 310 horsepower. While I found the ride of this new XT6 to be very comfortable, I must admit that I felt that at times, this engine was a tad bit underpowered for this SUV. Don’t get me wrong, this XT6 could perform all the necessary everyday driving functions quite well. It has adequate acceleration and passing skills. However, there were times when I “punched” the accelera-
2021 Cadillac XT6 Luxury, which has not been changed much since the 2020 version.
tor that I expected a more robust response. But, to be honest, at the end of the day, that’s not what Cadillac is all about. Cadillac has long built its reputation and following, not on performance, but instead on offering comfort and luxury. And, for those reasons, this Caddy holds true to form. I found the XT6 to be very roomy and spacious and it offers that floating on air ride quality one can only find in a Cadillac. I truly believe that most car brands carry their own unique DNA. And, when I first took the wheel of this new model Caddy and took it down the road, it didn’t take me long to harken back to the days when my dad used to say, “There’s nothing like the ride of a Caddy”. The base price on my XT6 tester was $54,695. This XT6 featured $8,100 in added optional equipment and $995 for destination charge. The total MSRP sticker price came in at $63,810. The options included: $2,350 for an enhanced visibility and technology package; $2,095 for upgraded 20-inch polished wheels; $1,300 for a driver assist package; $1,000 for an upgraded Bose audio system with 14 speakers; $750 for heated rear seats and an air quality package; and $625 for the Manhattan Noir metallic exterior paint.
Some of the items included in the technology package include: rear camera mirror; automatic parking assist with braking; HD surround vision; heads up display and an 8-inch color gauge display. The driver assist package includes: adaptive cruise control; automatic emergency braking and automatic seat belt tightening. As far as the EPA transportation department fuel ratings, this Cadillac could do better. The EPA fuel ratings for this model come in at an overall of 20 miles per gallon – featuring 24 mpg in highway driving and 17 in city driving. The EPA estimates that the average annual fuel cost for driving this XT6 to be about $2,000 as it is rated at using 5 gallons of gas for every 100 miles driven. The government’s crash test ratings for this new vehicle are incomplete. It got the highest ratings of five stars for both the driver and passenger frontal crash tests. It got 4 stars for the rollover test. However, it was not rated for an overall score or the side crash test. As far as the interior ergonomics go, I found the new XT6 to be above average, but not outstanding. The interior quality and build are solid, but not over the top. All the XT6 models come with touch-
screen infotainment, Apple carplay and Android Auto, on board Wi-Fi, wireless smartphone charging and Cadillac’s latest version of its CUE (Cadillac User Experience) infotainment software that is all displayed on an 8-inch screen. The infotainment system easily functions. I was able to sync my phone and iPod music system and use the navigation system without much problem. However, I found the navigation system to be frustrating at times. Instead of taking me on the most direct routes to where I was going, it had a penchant for rerouting me on a roundabout route instead. Moreover, when I was stuck in traffic in Center City Philadelphia one day, it had me circling the same block over and over. I’m not sure why this was, but there must be a software glitch that could easily be corrected. Overall, I was fairly impressed with this new addition to the Cadillac line up. I would say that anyone who is considering buying or leasing a mid-sized, three row, luxury SUV should give this vehicle serious consideration.

EPA proposes change to cleanup plan at Imperial Oil site MARLBORO – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a change to its plan to address groundwater contamination at the Imperial Oil Superfund Site in the Morganville section of Marlboro. In a press release issued on July 28, the EPA said data collected since the original cleanup plan was selected in 1992 indicate
that natural processes are effectively reducing the levels of contaminants and that active treatment of the groundwater is not needed. As a result, the agency plans to rely on natural processes to address the groundwater rather than extract and treat the groundwater as the original decision stated. Throughout the cleanup, monitoring and

the environment are protected. The EPA will conduct a review within five years to ensure the effectiveness of the cleanup, according to the press release. Asked for a comment on the matter by the News Transcript, Marlboro Mayor Jonathan Hornik said, “My history with the Imperial Oil site began when I toured the site as a teenager with my father, Mayor Saul Hornik. “I visited the site again in 2008, soon after being elected mayor, and urged the EPA to complete the project. Shortly after, the site was a recipient of $25 million in funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. “The original plan included the possibility of a water treatment plant on the site to sufficiently reduce the levels of contaminants. “I am pleased to hear that natural processes have been proven to be effective and that the site continues to receive the attention from the EPA it deserves. “I look forward to this cleanup being completed so this parcel may one day return to productive use in our community,” Hornik said. A 30-day public comment period for the proposed plan will occur from July 28 through Aug. 28. The EPA will host a virtual public meeting on Aug. 11 at 6 p.m. To register for the public meeting go to https:// www.eventbrite.com/e/imperial-oil-virtual-public-meeting-tickets-114604428932 For more information about the meeting, contact the community involvement coordinator, Pat Seppi, at Seppi.Pat@epa. gov or 212-637-3679.

further studies will be conducted to ensure the effectiveness of the remedy, according to the EPA. “We are glad to see the groundwater data collected over the last nine years suggest that our previous cleanup actions were effective and contaminant levels are continuing to decrease,” EPA Regional Administrator Pete Lopez said. “Under the Superfund program, our work here is reaping benefits and today the site is populated with trees, grass, restored wetlands, a pond and a bike path,” Lopez said. The Imperial Oil facility off Tennent Road near Route 79 operated from the 1950s until 2007. Improper work practices and piles of waste from oil reclamation activities contaminated soil and sediment on the plant’s property, in adjacent wetlands, in the nearby Birch Swamp Brook and on several residential properties. Groundwater underlying the site was also contaminated, according to the press release. The site cleanup was originally overseen by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). The DEP excavated soil, cleaned up part of the wetlands and sediment in the brook, and removed oil that was floating underneath the ground and on top of the groundwater. The EPA took over the cleanup of the property in 2006 at the DEP’s request. In 2008, the EPA completed the demolition of structures on the site, including all production, storage and maintenance buildings, as well as above-ground tanks, according to the press release. In 2011, the EPA completed the excavation of the soil and the restoration of the industrial property. The excavated property areas were seeded and restored along with the restoration of the wetlands. In 2013, the EPA completed the cleanup of the remaining wetlands and the contaminated sediments in Birch Swamp Brook, according to the press release. As part of plan announced on July 28, the EPA is requiring periodic collection and analysis of groundwater samples to verify that the level and extent of contaminants are declining, and that people’s health and

Blewett rolls to Wall Stadium 70th anniversary Modified win WALL TOWNSHIP – In front of a grandstand gathering that included Wall Township Mayor Carl Braun and township committeemen Tom Kingman, Tim Farrell and Kevin Orender, Jimmy Blewett of Howell won the “70th Anniversary Bash” 40-lap Modified stock car race at Wall Stadium Speedway on Aug. 1. During a pre-race ceremony, the municipal officials presented a proclamation recognizing that the speedway on Route 34 has been a landmark in the community for seven decades, according to a press release. Blewett took the lead in the early going with an outside lane pass, but this race was far from over. Tyler Truex of Mayetta was Blewett’s challenger most of the way and offered several attacks on the top spot. Eddie McCarthy of Brick Township ran in a tight third early before Ron Frees of Lanoka Harbor took the third spot for good in the late going. Andrew Krause of Holmdel and Jackson’s Blake Barney both came from deep in the 22-car field to wrap up the top five. “I’ve been racing for a long time and this place has been a big part of my career,” Blewett said after his 79th win at Wall Stadium. “It is pretty neat to win here with the anniversary celebration.” Bryan O’Shea of Neptune City took the lead from former champ Mike Montano of Freeport, N.Y., on lap 19 and raced on to win the 25-lapper for the Factory Stock cars. Montano held on for second with Manchester’s Scott Riggleman, Beachwood’s Elliott Wohl and Howell’s John Carpenter completing the top five. With lapped traffic working to his benefit on the final circuit, Alonzo Morales of Burlington grabbed the top spot from Wall Township’s T.J. Graves at the checkered flag to win the 4-Cylinder Stock 25-lap main event. Sal Liguori of Hazlet, Neptune City’s Ryan Maher and Doug Ashford of Farmingdale were third through fifth. Jake Nelke of Manahawkin took the lead early and raced on to victory in the Sportsman 25-lap feature race, while opening night winner Eric Lane of Howell finished second. Edison’s Neil Rutt III overcame a qualifying crash for third, while brothers Carsten and Jarrett DiGiantomasso, both of Jackson, were fourth and fifth.
Returning to racing after a decade layoff, former champion Bryan Gardella of Brick Township raced to the win in the Legend Cars 25-lapper. Peter Bruno of Little Silver was second, with Colin Milroy of Southampton, Eric Green of Red Bank and Chris Gall of Brick Township completing the top five. Chris Silvestri of Hazlet won his sec-
ond straight Limited Late Model feature race over Mike Tillett of Bayville, Steve Puglisi of Toms River and Jackson’s Greg Gastelu.

Legislators want school to begin with all-remote learning
N
ew Jersey Assembly Democrats Mila Jasey, Pamela Lampitt and Joann Downey have announced they are planning to introduce legislation that would – if passed in the Assembly and Senate and signed into law by Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy – require school districts to provide virtual or remote instruction during the beginning of the 2020-21 school year. Under the proposed bill, public schools would begin the 2020-21 school year with only virtual or remote instruction, with the exception of special education and related services that must be delivered in person, according to a July 29 press release from the New Jersey Democrats. Beginning Oct. 31, reopening schools for in-person instruction would be evaluated on a monthly basis by Murphy, in consultation with the Commissioner of Education and the Commissioner of Health. Reopening schools would be contingent upon a number of factors, including New Jersey’s phased reopening and public health data on the spread of COVID-19. School district administrators would develop guidelines and plans for in-person instruction that adhere to public health guidance, according to the press release. Additionally, under the proposed measure, school districts may delay the start of the 2020-21 school year by up to two weeks from the district’s regular start date.
“We can’t predict how the virus will impact New Jersey this fall. ... For the safety of all, our best course of action is to focus our efforts on improving remote instruction, closing the digital divide and keeping our students safe.” — Assemblywoman Joann Downey (D-Monmouth) If a district chooses this option, it must conduct professional development for teachers on delivering virtual or remote instruction, according to the press release. New Jersey’s schools were ordered to close in mid-March by Murphy at the start of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. For the remainder of the school year, students received a remote (virtual) education at their homes. Murphy recently directed school administrators to develop, in collaboration with community stakeholders, a plan to reopen schools in September in a manner that best fits a district’s local needs. Guidance from the governor’s office describes the health and safety practices administrators should prioritize, including social distancing, the wearing of face masks, limiting capacity in classrooms and
an increase in sanitation and disinfecting of surfaces. Now, however, legislators are looking to delay students’ return to their schools. “No one can deny the benefits of inperson instruction, especially for our younger students. However, the safety of our children must always come first,” said Downey (D-Monmouth), chair of the Assembly Human Services Committee. “We also must keep in mind our valued teachers, many of whom have health concerns or fear bringing the virus home to their families. “We can’t predict how the virus will impact New Jersey this fall, but we do know it will likely be complicated by flu and allergy season. “For the safety of all, our best course of action is to focus our efforts on improv-

ing remote instruction, closing the digital divide and keeping our students safe,” Downey said. “The reality is the pandemic isn’t over. School is set to begin in just a few weeks and it is not clear that a safe and comfortable environment can be maintained for students and staff,” said Jasey (D-Essex, Morris), chair of the Assembly Higher Education Committee. “We have heard from school administrators, medical professionals, educators, students and parents on school reopening, and the common sentiment being expressed is the same – our schools lack the guidance and support needed to safely reopen,” said Lampitt (D-Camden, Burlington), chair of the Assembly Education Committee. ” … Until we can ensure the safety of our students and school staff, we must focus our efforts on how we can enhance remote and virtual learning to provide students with the highest quality education possible,” Lampitt said. Also, under the bill, school districts may hold outdoor events for students, teachers and parents to meet one another and foster relationships during the remote learning period. These events must comply with state and federal health and safety guidelines for COVID-19, according to the press release. The press release does not indicate when the legislation may be introduced.
