A worker takes time on the afternoon of Sept. 9 to place the letters for a new Trader Joe’s on the building in the Pond Road shopping center, Route 9, Freehold Township, that will house the popular supermarket. The space was previously a Walgreens pharmacy.

New law eliminates ‘freeholder’ from county government

S

ay goodbye to the centuries-old title of freeholder in New Jersey county government.

Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy has signed Senate bill 855 into law and the legislation requires the title of “chosen freeholder” to be changed to “county commissioner” and all “boards of chosen freeholders” to be known as “boards of county

commissioners,” according to a press release from Murphy’s office.

The law also requires county governments to update their letterheads, stationary and other writings, as well as their websites, to bear the title of county commissioners in place of freeholders or chosen freeholders within one year of the bill’s effective date, Jan. 1, 2021.

10 YEARS IN ABERDEEN

The law does not require counties to update or replace signs or other writings to reflect this title change within the specified timeframe if doing so would require the expenditure of county funds, according to the press release.

In those cases, the title of chosen freeholder would be changed to county commissioner whenever the writing is next up-

dated or replaced in the ordinary course of business.

“We have an obligation to ensure that governance in New Jersey is inclusive and representative of the tremendous diversity of our great state,” Murphy said.

Cultural center to debut Basie exhibit with Sept. 25 event

T

he T. Thomas Fortune Cultural Center, 94 Drs James Parker Blvd., Red Bank, will open its doors and front lawn on Sept. 25 for “A Love Letter to Count Basie: From The Great Migration to The Harlem Renaissance,” an exhibit that illuminates the Red Bank-born musical giant William “Count” Basie (1904-84).

The exhibit will also pay homage to some of the most important eras from the Great Migration to the Harlem Renaissance, according to a press release.

A VIP opening reception will be held on the center’s front lawn. Attendees will be escorted inside the center to view the exhibit and featured items from 6-9 p.m.

Morgan Stanley is the lead sponsor of an educational experience that promotes excellence in black history and culture, according to the press release.

More than 1,000 Basie artifacts are archived at the Institute of Jazz Studies at Rutgers University, Newark.

This is the first time the collection – known formally as the William “Count” and Catherine Basie papers and artifacts – will be shared publicly since its 2018 acquisition by the institute.

The collection is the only body of materials that traces directly to the Basie family and is one of the institute’s largest collections, according to the press release.

“This exhibit is especially fitting considering the racial tension we are experi-

“This exhibit is especially fitting considering the racial tension we are experiencing in the nation.

Count Basie’s music broke through racial barriers and brought people together during a time of lawful segregation in America.”

— Gilda Rogers encing in the nation,” said Gilda Rogers, vice president of the T. Thomas Fortune Foundation.

“Count Basie’s music broke through racial barriers and brought people together during a time of lawful segregation in America,” Rogers said.

Visitors will learn how Basie used his celebrity as an activist, including standing on a picket line in late 1963 as black and white students demanded that Florida State University integrate, according to the press release.

Photographer, artist and former Red Bank resident Alan Burgess, founder of Benduka Arts, Los Angeles, will present a collection of photography exploring scenes from Asbury Park to Ghana.

Burgess was commissioned by the T. Thomas Fortune Cultural Center to create

a Harlem literary mural collage, reflecting the Harlem Renaissance that occurred in the early 20th century.

Burgess is also a contributing writer of the Harlem Renaissance narrative of the exhibit, which shapes the segregated times during which Basie made a name for himself.

The VIP reception for “A Love Letter to Count Basie: From The Great Migration to The Harlem Renaissance,” will take place from 6-9 p.m. Sept. 25.

Tickets are available online for a $50 donation and include a preview of the exhibit, a souvenir book and light fare with beverages. Visit www.tthomasfortuneculturalcenter.org to purchase tickets.

All attendees are required to purchase tickets in advance and select the time slot during which they will attend. Visitors are

required to wear a face mask and will not be allowed to view the exhibit without being escorted inside the center, according to the press release.

“A Love Letter to Count Basie: From The Great Migration to The Harlem Renaissance” was created in conjunction with the Institute for Jazz Studies and is sponsored by Morgan Stanley, OceanFirst Bank, Investors Bank, Denholtz Properties, the Community YMCA, Monmouth Arts, Two River Theater and Detour Gallery.

For more information, email info@ thomasfortuneculturalcenter.org Before the 2020 coronavirus pandemic began in New Jersey, musicians, artists, civic leaders and politicians gathered at the T. Thomas Fortune Cultural Center and kicked off “2020: Year of Basie,” a celebration of Count Basie, by sharing thoughts about the Grammy winner, according to the press release.

Clarence Banks, who joined the Count Basie Orchestra shortly before Basie’s death in 1984, was on hand to share recollections of his interactions with the bandleader and composer.

Dee Askew, who manages the orchestra, was also at the event and spoke.

Dorthaan Kirk, WBGO’s “First Lady” of Jazz, who was named a 2020 NEA Jazz Master, wrote a “Love Letter to Basie” that was shared at the event.

Entries will be accepted from Sept. 21 until noon Oct. 30. Entries will be accepted via email to ClerkContest@ co.monmouth.nj.us with the subject line “2020 High

New law eliminates ‘freeholder’ from county government re-examine vestiges rooted in structural racism, this action will eliminate the use of the term ‘freeholder’ in county government – a title that is an outgrowth of a time when people of color and women were excluded from public office,” he said.

In a statement issued on Aug. 24, the Middlesex County Board of Chosen Freeholders, all five of whom are Democrats, said, “We are pleased to see the Governor and the Legislature take action to retire the title of ‘chosen freeholder.’

“This term dates back to an era in which people of color, women and those without financial means were not treated as equals – and is not representative of the ideals which we all aspire to today.

“We are pleased to see this title be replaced and look forward to entering 2021 as the Middlesex County Board of County Commissioners,” the freeholders said.

Asked to comment on the new law, Thomas Arnone, the director of the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders, all five of whom are Republicans, said, “As I have previously stated, I respect the opinions of my freeholder colleagues throughout the state who support the title change, but I have a somewhat different opinion on the matter.

“I have advocated for the state to look at all offensive names across the board and not just the title of freeholder. For example, they should start with reviewing the name of Rutgers University, which is the largest institution of higher education in New Jersey.

“With that being said, the changing of the title of freeholder does not bother me nearly as much as the legislative effort that was put in during a time of financial distress, (with ongoing) health and safety concerns, and state operations being in disarray.

“In closing, I can only speak on behalf of the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders and whatever name we are called, we will continue to be leaders in the state in what we call good government,” Arnone said.

“The decision to change the word freeholder to county commissioner is long awaited,” said Sen. Vin Gopal (D-Monmouth).

“In Monmouth County, where we have towns like Freehold Borough, Freehold Township and Upper Freehold, not only will changing this title avoid confusion and increase voter participation, it will tell women and our communities of color that New Jersey does not associate itself in any way with these archaic values of the past.

This is a proud day in our history,” Gopal added.

“The term freeholder is outdated and it’s offensive to women and minorities,” Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin (DMiddlesex) said. “The term dates back to a time before the Revolutionary War when only white male owners of debt-free land were allowed to hold public office. New Jersey is the only state in the country that still uses the term freeholder. It is long past time that we right this wrong and change the title to commissioner.”

State Sen. Joe Pennacchio (R-Essex,

Morris, Passaic) said, “As a former freeholder, I believe it is important that the public knows the substance of what a freeholder does rather than what the term freeholder is.

“Today’s action was nine years in the making from when I initially proposed the abolishment of the antiquated term.

“The title ‘county commissioner’ will lend itself to transparency. This revamp will ensure more Garden State residents better understanding the function of this

important position in county government,” Pennacchio said.

The press release issued by the governor’s office quoted Jonathan Holloway, the new president of Rutgers University, saying, “This is not about the people who serve as freeholders, but rather the title.

The title freeholder has a legacy that grows out of denying people access and the right to have a voice. Our present day should simply not look like that.”

Dr. Patel has a special interest in chronic liver disease. He also has expertise in all facets of general Gastroenterology.

he Marlboro Township Vision Plan opens with the following goal: “Create a sustainable, livable and healthy community where social, economic and environmental interests are balanced, active lifestyles are promoted, and a diverse culture and local heritage are celebrated.”

This goal was stated in 2010 and since that time the mayor, the Township Council, the Planning Board and the Zoning Board of Adjustment have worked hard to keep to this mission.

A lot of open space has been preserved and a lot of pushback has been placed on proposals that would have negatively impacted our community.

Recently, the township had to acquiesce, after a lot of effort, to a 105-unit residential development on Route 79 by Stevenson Drive. This development will add more congestion in a section of town that was open land.

The Marlboro Zoning Board of Adjustment has scheduled a Sept. 22 meeting, via WebX, to review plans to build a Wawa convenience store, an eight-bay Wawa gas station and a 22,000-square-foot medical building on Route 79 just south of Route 520, and a short distance from the newly approved development at Stevenson Drive.

The entrance to the site will be a driveway on Route 79 just north of the entrance to St. Gabriel’s Church.

The proposed Wawa gas station would be built a few hundred feet away from an existing Raceway gas station at the corner of Route 79 and Route 520. The Raceway gas station is not moving.

The proposed medical building would be built within a very short distance from three other medical buildings. Two of those buildings were recently built.

Part of the plan that will be heard on Sept. 22 includes using Meglio Drive, off Route 520, as an entrance and exit from the back of the lot.

To me, this proposal totally goes against

the Vision Plan for the township. A livable and healthy community is one with stressfree conditions, not one where traffic will build up to unreasonable levels.

The intersection of Route 79 and Route 520 is already congested. At rush hour and at school hours, the traffic on Route 79 backs up from the Route 520 traffic light north up to Pleasant Valley Road (about a half-mile) and another half-mile south.

A sustainable community is one that is safe. The existing Wawa convenience store at the corner of Route 79 and Route 520 is on the same side of Route 79 as Marlboro High School.

Each day, that Wawa is jammed with students buying snacks and meals. In the new plan, the students will have to cross a busy Route 79 to reach Wawa. This is not safe.

Our community is already at a point of having too much space dedicated to retail properties.

The three other medical buildings on Route 520 are not currently filled and there is a two-story office building a few miles north on Route 79, across from the Camelot residential development, that has been empty for a few years.

How are the town’s economic interests balanced when a gas station is built a few hundred feet from another gas station, and when another office building is built when we currently have office space unoccupied?

The zoning board may not be obligated to review traffic conditions, but the township’s board certainly is responsible for reviewing the overall impact of a plan like this.

Therefore, I urge Marlboro to reject this proposal and try to support our town’s Vision Plan.

Prosecutor: Monmouth County ATM scams result in 31 arrests

I

nvestigations into regional criminal scams across the state involving the fraudulent use of debit cards to make unauthorized cash withdrawals at Santander Bank ATMs led to the arrest of more than two dozen people in Monmouth County on Aug. 18, Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni announced.

The thieves were able to exploit a glitch in automated teller machines (ATMs) belonging to Santander Bank, allowing them to use prepaid debit cards to make continuous withdrawals of cash from the ATMs, according to a press release from the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office.

The prepaid debit cards can be purchased at most retail stores, according to the press release.

Bank officials were alerted to higherthan-usual ATM withdrawals and eventually closed down their ATM locations, according to the press release.

Santander Bank has subsequently corrected the glitch in the ATM machines.

“This is a great example of inter-agency cooperation and how it works to everyone’s benefit. These local police departments received the information about this growing scam from state and federal authorities and they kept a watchful eye that resulted in ar-

rests. Everyone involved did an outstanding job,” Gramiccioni said.

The following arrests were made: By the Englishtown Police Department: • Cesar Armando Ortiz Jr., 25, of Brooklyn, N.Y., charged with conspiracy – theft by an unlawful taking, criminal attempt – theft by an unlawful taking and disorderly persons offenses of possession of less than 50 grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

• Gregory M. Harrington, 31, of Brooklyn, N.Y., charged with conspiracy – theft by an unlawful taking, criminal attempt – theft by an unlawful taking and disorderly persons offenses of possession of less than 50 grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

By the Freehold Township Police Department: • Damon C Joseph, 23, of The Bronx, N.Y., charged with theft, possession of a

controlled dangerous substance and possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute.

105 housing units gain vote of approval from planners

By PETER ELACQUA Staff Writer

MARLBORO – Members of the Marlboro Planning Board have granted preliminary and final site plan approval for a residential development that will include market priced homes and affordable housing units at Route 79 and Stevenson Drive.

The board has granted preliminary site plan approval for the commercial portion of the same application. The applicant is expected to make adjustments to the com-

mercial portion of the application.

Board members said that as a condition of granting approval on the residential portion, the applicant must return before the board to discuss the commercial component within 60 days.

Board members took the action on Aug. 19 when representatives of the Marlboro Development Group, LLC, returned for a continued public hearing.

The applicant is represented by attorney John A. Sarto.

The applicant proposed the construction of 105 housing units on Route 79 between Buck Lane and Stevenson Drive.

Plans called for a 13.7-acre property to be subdivided into four lots: • A 10.7-acre lot with 18 three-story buildings consisting of 85 townhouses to be sold at market rates; • A 1-acre lot with a three-story building consisting of 20 affordable housing apartments to be rented at below market rates to individuals and families whose income

meets certain guidelines; • A 1.1-acre lot with an 8,110-squarefoot, one-story, multi-tenant commercial building; • A 1-acre lot with a 4,000-square-foot commercial building.

Municipal officials have said the Marlboro Development Group application is the result of a court order stemming from Marlboro’s unresolved affordable housing obligation that dates back to prior administrations.

Previous testimony indicated the 85 townhouses would have three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a two-car garage; and that there would be four one-bedroom apartments, four two-bedroom apartments and 12 three-bedroom apartments (total of 20 apartments).

During testimony on Aug. 19, traffic engineer Karl Pehnke said right turns out of the site onto Stevenson Drive would be restricted during certain peak hours to minimize the number of the vehicles driving through the Marlboro Manse development.

He said the Buck Lane access would only be used by emergency vehicles.

Board member Rohit Gupta asked the applicant to consider opening road access from the residential development to the commercial area of the property to alleviate traffic on site in case of a backup on Stevenson Drive.

Pehnke said the single point of access from Stevenson Drive would be enough for the residential component of the project.

Mayor Jonathan Hornik, who sits on the board, previously asked for a traffic signal to be constructed at the intersection of Route 79 and Stevenson Drive. He asked the applicant to pay for the installation of the traffic signal.

On Aug. 19, Hornik said the applicant had agreed to install and pay for the traffic signal.

Route 79 is a state highway that is under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey Department of Transportation During the public hearing, one resident asked why the affordable housing apartments would be segregated from the market rate townhouses.

Sarto explained that because the apartment building is expected to be owned and managed separately, there was no real reason to integrate the building into the townhouse community. The two housing components will be constructed on separate lots.

A motion was made to grant approval to the Marlboro Development Group application and Chairman Mark Barenburg, Vice Chairman Andrew Pargament, Township Councilwoman Carol Mazzola, Lynn Franco and Hornik voted “yes.” Gupta voted “no.” The motion was carried, 5-1.

Ask The Expert What is my risk of having a cardiovascular problem in the future?

Understanding your risk for future heart disease , stroke, PAD [peripheral artery disease] determines what testing or medications you may need. A patient with high cholesterol [hyperlipidemia], diabetes, and a strong family history of heart disease will be treated more aggressively than someone otherwise healthy.

Doctors use several types of risk calculators to determine your 10-year risk of developing heart disease.

The American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology’s ASCVD online risk calculator is free to use on-line and can assist you in determining your risk even before you see a doctor.

What symptoms might indicate underlying heart disease?

Chest pain with exertion is the most obvious sign of something underlying and potentially indicative of coronary artery disease. However, many women [and some men] will never experience classic chest pain.

Instead, they get shortness of breath, sweats, nausea, or discomfort in the neck, jaw, shoulder, or back.

That’s why it’s important that your doctor goes over all the warning signs that are personalized for you.

FEATURING:

Dr. VanHise, DO

Director of Cardiac Rehab

Why are you prescribing this medication?

Doctors — not your friends, family or the Internet are best positioned to explain the pros and cons of a drug based on science and clinical trials. Carefully going over your prescriptions can also help you handle any medication issues later. Medications can be incredibly important to reduce the future risk of cardiovascular events like strokes and heart attacks. There is such a large arsenal of medications to deal with heart disease that oftentimes procedures can be avoided altogether, as compared to twenty years ago when procedures and surgery were the only available options.

Will any changes in my lifestyle make a difference?

To learn more about our Cardiac Rehab program

Cardiovascular disease is an area where changes in lifestyle — diet, exercise, stress reduction, sleep — can greatly impact the course of the condition. The Mediterranean diet — which is high in vegetables, fruits, and healthy fats, and low in saturated fats and added sugars — was shown to improve many of the risk factors associated with heart disease in a study published in December 2018 in JAMA Network . Intermittent fasting is also gaining popularity and has been prominent across social media lately.

There is some early evidence that this strategy may help reduce high blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease. Bariatric [weight loss] surgery is another viable option after all the above has been exhausted. Your cardiologist may suggest/refer you to a bariatric surgeon who specializes in weight loss.

A

film with all of the scope of the biggest Hollywood summer blockbuster premiering in your home? Yes, that would be the live-action film version of Mulan, which found a home on the Disney+ streaming service for viewers who are willing to pay a premium. This epic adventure is perfectly suited to the biggest screen you have, with the best sound available.

Gone are the songs that you may remember from the animated tale of Mulan that graced the Disney library. Musical numbers are replaced with stunning vistas and amazingly choreographed action sequences in director Niki Caro’s vision.

Mulan (Yifei Liu) is a young girl growing up in a male-dominated China.

A talented fighter, she has developed her natural talents into something special that hasn’t previously been seen in the girls

under the emperor’s rule. When the call is made to the people to provide one man to fight from every household, Mulan’s father, being the only male member of the household, steps forward despite being older and weakened from earlier battles.

It is then that Mulan decides to secretly disguise who she is and take her father’s place. She knows that this tactic could lead to dishonor for her father and family, but it is a risk she is willing to take to protect him.

The battle is expanding and Mulan continues protecting her identity, but an evil witch knows who she is and will try to expose the warrior who is impressing all the men around her. Can Mulan help the cause while keeping her secret from being revealed?

It didn’t take long for me to become absorbed in this film. A story that preaches family, empowers young girls and women, and charges forward with

action resulted in a different film than the animated Mulan I remember. There aren’t any major songs and light comedic moments are few and there simply to break up the film’s action — and yet that is OK, and probably even preferred here.

Action sequences that are choreographed like an enchanting ballet, the ability of the actors to create characters that evoked feelings in me from hatred to love and everywhere in between, and the brilliant landscapes used to explode the pictures from the screen are all important in making this film a wonderful spectacle to enjoy.

Visit our website for the most up-to-date information for the Fall Open Houses

Matt Roush: Showtime has yet to elaborate on this decision, but I doubt it has anything to do with the size of its subscriber base as much as the size of the audience that chose to tune in. You’d think during a time of quarantine that more subscribers would be inclined to watch new shows on premium services, so it’s possible this new version was just too different from the original Penny Dreadful. I often found the supernatural elements to be an uneasy fit with the social-realism crime stories. I would have liked to see this get another shot as well, but it’s also possible that economic factors during the pandemic played a part in this. At least the original Penny got to end on its own terms, even if it was a surprise to the viewer.

Question: Do you think there’s any way Netflix could reverse its cancellation of Greenhouse Academy, or maybe another network could pick it up? —Joe Matt Roush: Highly doubtful. It usually works the other way, for Netflix to come to the rescue of a prematurely canceled series. Netflix has a history of dropping shows after three or four seasons, and they’re less in the habit of reversing course.

She’s Back To Save The Day — ‘Supernanny’ Jo Frost Is Here To Help

By Ryan Berenz

T

here is no precedent for the challenges facing parents, students and educators as COVID-19 continues to throw life into chaos entering the new school year.

“I’ve been spending many hours since March on the phone helping hundreds of families who have been in disarray — panic in the beginning — and are becoming more accepting of their daily circumstances right now and how tough it is,” says Supernanny‘s Jo Frost.

The parenting expert is back on Lifetime (Tuesdays).

Frost shared some advice and encouragement for parents suffering backto-school anxiety: Create A Flexible Plan Of Action: “I think it’s important that families come together and communicate what that plan looks like and that your older kids are a part of that family conversation,” Frost

says. “We are teaching them to be more self-disciplined, to have more resilience, and to understand that what we create in our homes and our living environments, being conducive for the education that will be provided — it will be not quite the same, but let’s not throw the towel in — and make sure that we can set a realistic expectation of what we can do safely and our kids get the education they need.”

You’re Doing Your Best: “There are parents right now that are fretting that they cannot be a teacher,” Frost says.

“Nobody is expecting them to do the job of a teacher. It is a very dedicated, unique job, and that’s why those teachers do it.

But you are required as a parent to do the best that you can, and the best that you can — I want parents to know — is enough. It is enough, because a child learning something at the age of 9 or 10 is not going to make or break their career when they’re 23, is it? Parents need to cut themselves some slack.”

Listen And Love: “It is important for our children to have the open dialogue that they need to be able to come to us

and to be able to express emotionally about when they’re finding times difficult,” Frost says. “And to be the wing that they can go under to feel safe: Children need stability, and security, and safety, and protection, and our love. The way that we guide our children and raise them I’m hoping will be certainly the light that they need in feeling very secure at a time when all of us adults know there is a lot of uncertainty.”

Don’t Write Off 2020: “We will all be in a different place, come hopefully the new year, so that we can learn from this year and respect that this year was about looking inwardly,” Frost says. “It was about understanding what was important for us, so that we can move forward with new rituals and new practices that truly honor ourselves and our families, and our community, and our neighbors, and our employees, and that we truly do learn to be a more empathetic world, and people, and community.”

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA

2020 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid

I

f it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck … guess what? It’s a duck. Why try to disguise it?

When I see those television commercials for minivans that try and make it seem cool for the average soccer mom or dad to be driving a minivan, I just shake my head.

In recent years the minvan has fallen out of favor.

So, the marketers now want to try and make it something it’s not.

Why try and pretend? It’s a minPeter Perrotta ivan, aka a duck.

“Sell the sizzle”.

That’s what an old car sales manager used to tell me.

What that meant to me was: don’t sell something for what it’s not. Sell the sizzle of what it is.

So after one recent week behind the wheel of the 2020 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Limited minivan, I must admit, there is a lot of sizzle to sell here folks.

Before we get started, though, if you are looking for the wind-in-your-face driving experience of an athletic BMW or Mercedes, this is not where you look.

Instead, what you get in the 2020 Chrysler Pacifica is a good, solid, all around, utilitarian vehicle that can be used for a multitude of transport and cargo tasks without breaking a sweat.

Moreover, if you are approaching 65 years of age – like me – it’s a very comfortable vehicle to get into and out of without bending or twisting your back. Once you sit down inside it’s tremendously comfortable.

If you are the designated driver to transport your sister-in-law, and mother-in-law and father-in-law to your son’s birthday dinner, it passes the test with flying colors.

On the other hand, is this mini-van going to turn heads when you drive down the street? Absolutely not. Is it going to afford you that exhilarating driving experience of the BMW 5 series? No way.

But, let’s face it folks, it’s not fair to criticize the minivan for what it isn’t. We must appraise it for what it is.

The 2020 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Limited – the model I drove for one week – is the only minivan currently on the market that is offered as a hybrid version. To make it even better, this model from Chrysler is

2020 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid

a plug-in hybrid that can be operated as an electric-only model, with a full range of 30 miles on the electric only ride.

More impressively, when you use it as a combined electric/gas option (the vehicle switches itself back and forth on an asneeded basis) it gets a whopping 82 miles per gallon. When in use as a gas-only vehicle, it gets a still solid 30 miles per gallon.

For me, it’s hard to believe that none of the other minivan manufacturers (especially Honda and Toyota) don’t offer a hybrid version of their minivans.

I’m not sure why that is. It may be due to the fact that the minivan segment of the car selling market has shrunk drastically from what it once was about 20 years ago.

My first job in the car selling business was at a popular Honda dealership in South Jersey back in 2003. At that time, we had a waiting list for people who wanted to buy the popular Honda Odyssey minivan of about six months. Moreover, we sold every one of those Odysseys at full sticker price, with no discount.

Such is not the case these days, obviously as the once-popular minivan has fallen out of fashion favor for the much sexier and aggressive looking SUV and crossover models now available on the market.

Nonetheless, the minivan has survived.

And, this one from Chrysler has won many accolades from the automotive press for

being top-of-the-line in its class.

In its review of the 2020 Pacifica, the editors at Car and Driver magazine simply stated that it is “the best minivan you can buy – and better than most SUVs too.

“We like the minivan so much, in fact, that we have named it to our 10 best Trucks and SUVs list multiple times,” write the editors of Car and Driver.

Personally, I’m not so sure that I am enamored as much as they are with the Pacifica.

When I first took the wheel behind this Pacifica it instantly brought back memories to when my youngest son was 2 years old and my wife and I carted his whole world around with us in our Dodge Caravan minivan.

At that time, my parents were still alive and living in Florida, so the minivan did the job it was designed to do on that several trips a year we made to St. Augustine.

This time around, while it took me a day or two to get used to driving a minivan again, I must admit that by the end of the week I was quite impressed with the Pacifica. It’s luxurious, comfortable, practical and very useful. It’s just not all that exciting to drive.

The Velvet Red Pearl colored Pacifica Hybrid I tested for the week carries a base price of $45,845. My tester was added the extra options of: $795 for the S appearance

package; $995 for the advanced safety technology group and $1,895 for the tripanel panoramic moon roof.

When you add in the $1,495 for destination and delivery charges, the bottom line sticker price on this tester comes in at $51,025.

The EPA estimates that the average annual fuel cost of operating this hybrid comes in at a miserly $1,050 per year. Most people spend more than that a year buying coffee at Wawa.

This vehicle has not been rated by the government for the crash safety test yet.

However, this Pacifica Hybrid does receive a very impressive 10 out of 10 rating for the government’s fuel economy and greenhouse gas rating – which most people hardly pay attention to.

The interior of the Pacifica is well appointed. Chrysler’s Uconnect infotainment system works well, for the most part. I had some trouble with it getting to understand my voice commands, but that was the only glitch.

Overall, this Pacific, especially the hybrid version, is well worth considering if you are in the market for such a vehicle.

GOP lawmakers slam Murphy’s cuts to horse racing industry

D

emocratic Gov. Phil Murphy’s decision to cut $20 million in funding to New Jersey’s horse racing industry is being met with criticism from two local Republican lawmakers who say the governor is jeopardizing the industry.

The funding was signed into law in 2019 as a way to help Monmouth Park (thoroughbred racing), the Meadowlands (thoroughbred racing and harness racing)

and Freehold Raceway (harness racing) bolster purses and increase races, according to a press release from the New Jersey Assembly Republicans.

Last year was the first year for the program, which was designed to run for five years, and proved to be successful while meeting or exceeding economic growth benchmarks in the 2019 law, according to the press release.

Freehold Raceway was not returned.

Newspaper Media Group reached out to a spokesman for the governor to obtain Murphy’s response to the Republicans’ press release regarding the funding reduction, but a statement from the governor was not provided.

Assemblyman Rob Clifton (R-Monmouth) was quoted in the press release saying, “Horse racing is an industry that employs thousands of people directly and indirectly, and these cuts will have farreaching negative effects in our communities.

“If it were to happen, it would put more New Jerseyans out of work and on the long line waiting to get benefits that may never come from Gov. Murphy’s Labor Department. It is an insult that borders on cruelty,” Clifton said.

According to the press release from the Republicans, as Murphy signed the legislation into law a year ago, he noted the importance of the horse racing industry as “a key economic engine, supporting thousands of jobs and attracting tourists and fans from around the world.”

“The state’s horse racing industry stands alone in providing economic, environmental and entertainment values like no other business in New Jersey,” Assemblyman Ron Dancer (R-Monmouth, Ocean, Middlesex, Burlington) was quoted as saying in the press release.

“With an estimated 42,000 horses on more than 7,200 farms that consist of 176,000 acres of tax-paying open space and green pastureland, the horse racing and breeding industry provides more than 13,000 jobs with a majority of the jobs being held by thousands of blue-collar New Jersey workers.

“With unemployment in the state at historic levels, it is necessary and essential to continue the investment in the economic powerhouse that we know the horse racing industry to be,” Dancer said.

Asked for a comment by Newspaper Media Group about Murphy’s reported decision to cut funding from the horse racing industry, Dennis Drazin, the chairman and CEO of Darby Development LLC, the operators of Monmouth Park, said the reported action “is not a final decision. The budget process is ongoing and we are hopeful the subsidy is restored.”

Freehold officials advance plan for new town hall Staff Writer

FREEHOLD – A $5 million bond ordinance has been introduced by the Borough Council to fund improvements at a building on Mechanic Street in Freehold Borough that will become the new Borough Hall, police department headquarters and municipal court.

The ordinance was introduced on Sept.

8 and if it is adopted, it will appropriate $5 million for the purchase and retrofitting of the building at 30 Mechanic St. The legislation authorizes the issuance of $4.76 million in bonds or notes and provides for a $240,000 down payment.

A public hearing on the bond ordinance is scheduled for Nov. 21. Council members may adopt the bond ordinance that evening.

When the plan to purchase the building on Mechanic Street was announced several months ago, municipal officials said they would use the building as Borough Hall, as the headquarters of the Freehold Borough Police Department and as the municipal court.

At present, Borough Hall is on West Main Street and the police department and municipal court are in the Rug Mill Towers on Jackson Street.

Councilman George Schnurr said moving the municipal offices to Mechanic Street will open up the West Main Street building for development and allow officials to sell a parking lot on Jackson Street that is currently used by the police department.

Prior to the council’s vote to introduce the bond ordinance, Councilwoman Sharon Shutzer emphasized it is necessary for Borough Hall to move from its current location to Mechanic Street.

“It would cost us so much to fix this (West Main Street) building,” Shutzer said.

“We have outgrown it. There is no parking lot that we own. It is not handicap-accessible. Not one of us would be for this move if we did not think this was the economically right thing to do for Freehold Borough.”

In other business, a reduction has been made in a contract that was awarded by the Borough Council for a project that has resulted in the installation of lights at the Little League baseball complex on Otterson Road.

Council members authorized a $2,250 decrease in a $69,400 contract that was awarded to John J. Faccas Inc. (Quality Electrical Construction Co.), Hazlet, to install the lights. With the decrease, the contract was reduced to $67,150.

According to a resolution, the reduction was made due to the removal of sod from the contract. The resolution states the sod was not required because the project did not result in a significant disturbance at the Little League fields.

The council previously awarded a $93,421 contract to Musco Sports Lighting, Oskaloosa, Iowa, to purchase the lights.

The project to install lights at the baseball fields came from Freehold Borough’s

participatory budgeting initiative, which allows business owners and residents age 14 and older to nominate and vote for projects they want to fund in the community.

According to borough officials, the project has been completed.

The AXE award provides talented young student-actors a chance to shine by providing scholarship money.

Seventy-two students from 32 high schools throughout Monmouth, Middlesex and Ocean counties submitted entries for the awards and a panel of theater professionals selected the finalists in each of six categories.

Preliminary online voting was conducted for two weeks with more than 5,000 ballots, according to the press release.

Four winning seniors were awarded $1,000, while a top male and female underclassman each received $500.

The award money provided by Cabaret for Life was in memory of Amy Fredericks, a local music director and teacher who frequently volunteered for the organization, according to the press release.

Winners are: • Anna Thorensen, Red Bank Catholic High School – Supporting Actress in a Musical for her role as Paulette Buonafonte in “Legally Blonde the Musical.”

• Ben Hahn, Red Bank Regional High School – Supporting Actor in a Musical for his role as Lumiere in “Beauty and the Beast.”

• Asia Feratovic, Long Branch High School – Best Actress in a Musical for her role of Cathy in “The Last Five Years.”

• Ryan Jasaitis, Point Pleasant Borough High School – Best Actor in a Musical for his role as Tony in “West Side Story.”

All four seniors will pursue theater studies in the fall, according to the press release.

Thorensen (Colts Neck) plans to major

in theater arts at the University of Arizona and said, “I’m so grateful to have been a part of the very first AXE awards and to have won!”

Hahn (Millstone Township), who will major in musical theater at the Manhattan School of Music said, “This was such an amazing opportunity and a great way to end my senior year!”

Feratovic (Long Branch), who plans to major in entertainment and arts management at Drexel University, said, “It really made my year special.”

Jasaitis (Point Pleasant), who will major in musical theater at Point Park University, commented, “I would like to thank everyone involved in making this competition happen, this made my year!”

The underclassmen who received awards were: • Stefanie Worton, Monmouth Regional High School (Tinton Falls) – Non-Senior Actress in a Musical for the role of Sophie in “Mamma Mia!” • Donny Nikola, Wall High School (Spring Lake) – Non-Senior Actor in a Musical for the role of Beast in “Beauty and the Beast.”

“Creating rewarding, educational opportunities is a critical component of our work at the Axelrod,” said Artistic Director Andrew DePrisco, who spearheaded the AXE awards.

“We continue our mission this summer through our new Axelrod Performing Arts Academy, which is an online arts program offering young people the chance to work with Tony Award winners and leading dancers from the New York stage,” DePrisco said.

Rutt claims first win of season in Sportsman race at Wall WALL TOWNSHIP – Third generation stock car driver Neil Rutt III of Edison raced through the pack to win the 25-lap Sportsman stock car feature race on Sept.

12 at Wall Stadium Speedway.

It was the first win of the 2020 season for Rutt, who was last season’s 4-Cylinder Stock driving champion.

After a third turn scramble on the initial start, Rob Anderton of Howell jumped to the early lead over former champ Kevin Eyres of Colts Neck and Rutt, according to a press release.

A handful of cautions for minor incidents slowed the early going before Eyres took the lead near lap 10 as Rutt followed

him through for second.

Rutt then shadowed Eyres until the 14th lap when Eyres drifted high in turn two and Rutt dove low to take the lead.

Carsten DiGiantomasso of Jackson took over second and haunted Rutt to the finish line. Eyres held on for third, with Jake Nelke of Manahawkin and Jackson’s Jarret DiGiantomasso fourth and fifth.

“We have had a couple of tough races this season, but when you see how hard your car owner and crew members work you just keep digging,” Rutt said in the winner’s circle. “You just never give up.”

Rutt expressed get well wishes to fellow competitor Micheal Rising, who was

injured in a non-racing accident in July, according to the press release.

Bryan O’Shea of Neptune City won his fourth main event of the year in the companion 25-lapper for the Factory Stock cars.

Robert Stack of Manahawkin held his ground early in the test except for a few laps when Howell’s Johnny Carpenter took the lead before Stack regained command.

O’Shea then took the lead near lap 20 and raced on to the win over the challenges of Mike Montano of Freeport, N.Y. Billy Both of Rahway, Tom Rajkowski of Woodbridge and Brick Township’s Kevin Flores completed the top five.

Sal Liguori of Hazlet tracked down early leader and eventual runner-up Ian Ashford of Farmingdale to win the 4-Cylinder Stocks 25-lap feature race. Sean Vuksanic of Wall Township, Farmingdale’s Doug Ashford and Ryan Maher of Neptune City were third through fifth.

Peter Bruno of Little Silver raced to his second straight win in the 25-lapper for the Legend Cars over early leader Mike Fulton of Raritan. Brick Township’s Bryan Gardella, Eric Green of Red Bank and Joe

Przybylinski of Fairfield wrapped up the top five.

Former champion Mike Tillett of Bayville grabbed the lead on lap four and drove home with his first win of the year in the Limited Late Model 25-lapper.

Asbury Park’s Buddy Miller, defending champ Chris Silvestri of Hazlet, Ricky Giannino of Patchogue, N.Y., and Stephen Puglisi of Toms River completed the top five.

Racing continues on Sept. 19 with the annual running of the 127-lap “Cliff Krause Memorial” race for the Modified stock cars.

Factory Stocks, 4-Cylinder Stocks and Legend Cars will also be on the card which honors the memory of the promoter who many people credit with saving the 70-year-old speedway, according to the press release.

Walk will help raise funds for research into fatal disease

R

epresentatives of the JAR of Hope foundation will take a 260-mile “Walk For Their Lives” from Washington, D.C., to Old Bridge in October to raise awareness of the little-known, but fatal, childhood disease they are fighting.

JAR of Hope was established in 2013

by James and Karen Raffone of Manalapan when their 4-year-old son Jamesy was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a very rare muscle-wasting disease with which children are born, according to a press release from the organization.

There is no cure. Individuals who have the disease often pass away by their early 20s, according to the press release.

“Walk For Their Lives” will start in Washington, D.C., on Columbus Day, Oct. 12.

On Oct. 19, the participants will walk the last 26 miles, starting at Sportika in Manalapan, walking to the last sponsored checkpoint at All American Ford in Old Bridge, and the finish line at Old Bridge High School.

At the high school, the walkers will be greeted by Old Bridge Mayor Owen Henry and Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ).

“We will be walking 33 to 35 miles a day,” Jim Raffone said, “and camping out each night in sleeping bags. No showers, no amenities.

“We are inviting the central New Jersey community to walk along with us for por-

tions of the 26.2 miles on the last day.”

The walk will be led by Raffone and JAR of Hope Treasurer Joe Ippolito, and sponsored by All American Ford of Old Bridge. The goal is to raise $50,000 toward a cure, according to the press release.

“We will be starting at the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, D.C.,” Ippolito said, “and we are hoping people will join us, even for a little bit, along the way, to show support for our efforts to find a cure for this horrible disease that takes away children.”

Jamesy Raffone is now 11 and participating in a year-long Duchenne study called Operation Lifeline. The results are encouraging, but JAR of Hope pays $35,000 a month for the five participants in the study, according to the press release.

The “Walk For Their Lives” route will wind through Maryland and Pennsylvania before reaching New Jersey, and stops will include municipalities such as Laurel and Baltimore in Maryland; West Chester and Lancashire in Pennsylvania; and Manalapan and Old Bridge.

“We will be driving down to Washington with our families,” Raffone said, “and then they will drive home while we do the walk. We are hoping folks in New Jersey will walk alongside us for a while. People in our state have been really supportive and these days, we appreciate that support more than ever.”

PRAYER TO ST. JUDE Most Holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, of things almost Despaired of. Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone. Make use I implore you, of that particular privilege given to you, to bring visible and speedy help where help is almost Despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the Consolation and help of Heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, particularly () and that I may Praise God with you and all the elect forever. I promise O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to greatly encourage Devotion to you Amen.

Thank You.
