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

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

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

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

Katheryn Winnick Promises Shocks And Surprises In ABC’s ‘Big Sky’ to solve the case and find peace within themselves.” They have their differences too, of course. Winnick describes Jenny as “unhinged and unpredictable.” Early on — in a move reminiscent of Winnick’s six-season stint as Norse warrior Lagertha on Vikings — Jenny even slugs her rival! Cassie, on the other hand, is more coolly intuitive. She instantly distrusts an oafish state highway patrolman (John Carroll Lynch), just one of the suspicious locals we’ll meet. “We’ve got some bad seeds and really weird characters,” Winnick teases. “It’s a show that will throw you, shock you, make you laugh, make you cry.” The series is based on the book The Highway and its sequels by C.J. Box, which only hint at the picturesque details of Montana that the show is able to incorporate. “This show and the visuals of this show and the vista of the show and C.J.

T
he clock is ticking in the atmospheric new thriller Big Sky (ABC, Tuesday). Two sisters have just been kidnapped by a truck driver on an isolated Montana highway. Complicating the crucial early days of the search, the key investigators are caught in a love triangle: Private detectives Cassie Dewell (Kylie Bunbury, When They See Us) and Cody Hoyt (Shooter‘s Ryan Phillippe) must work with his estranged wife, ex-cop Jenny Hoyt (Katheryn Winnick), who, like Cody, has a personal connection to the case. “Jenny and Cassie are in love with the same guy, but they put their personal feelings aside to focus on [the crime],” says Winnick. “They discover they’re very similar in a lot of ways. They’re both determined, strong-willed women who have a mission and their own personal journeys to overcome to be able
Box’s novels are so landscape-dependent that they are going to be breathtaking to watch as much as they are breathtaking in the thriller aspects of the show,” explained Lynch. What the fast-paced drama from executive producer David E. Kelley (Big Little Lies) won’t do is force viewers to wait all season for a resolution. This case — which the trio soon realize may be related to 12 other disappearances near truck stops and linked to human trafficking — is solved in the first five episodes. Then what? “I have a feeling [Jenny is] going to stick around and solve more cases,” Winnick says jokingly. The actress herself is enjoying her time shooting and living in the wilds of Vancouver, which subs for Big Sky Country. “Funny enough, my entire garbage got attacked by a family of bears yesterday,” she reports. “I’m definitely in what could be the mountains of Montana.”

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

NJSIAA delays start of winter sports due to coronavirus The New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association, the governing body for high school sports in the state, will delay the start of the 2020-21 winter sports season as coronavirus cases continue to surge in the Garden State. Winter high school sports were expected to start in two weeks. On Nov. 19, the NJSIAA announced that the winter sports season will be divided into three groups: Season 2, Season 3 and a newly added Season 2A. Ice hockey is the only winter sport that will be allowed to start preseason practices for the 2020-21 season prior to the end of 2020. Teams may begin preseason practice on Dec. 14 and may begin playing games on Jan. 4, according to a press release. Fencing, bowling, and girls and boys basketball teams will be permitted to start practices on Jan. 11 and begin regular season play on Jan. 26. The new Season 2A will consist of swimming and winter track and field. Student-athletes who participate in those sports may begin practicing on Feb. 1 and may start participating in meets on Feb. 16. Wrestling has been pushed back to Season 3, joining gymnastics and girls volleyball in Season 3. Practices for Season 3 sports can start on March 1 and matches, games and competitions are allowed to begin on March 16, according to the press release. NJSIAA administrators said postseason competition is still under consideration for all Season 3 sports (wrestling, gymnastics, girls volleyball), however, the association said it will not sponsor postseason competition for any of the other winter sports. Conferences around the state can hold postseason play at their own discretion, according to the press release.
“We remain keenly focused on providing New Jersey’s student-athletes with the opportunity to participate in sports, and given current health data and modeling, we believe pushing the schedules back ensures the best opportunity for our kids,” NJSIAA
Chief Operating Office Colleen Maguire said. “The staggered winter schedule is based on feedback from health officials, anticipated capacity limitations, as well as the availability of facilities which are used
by many of our winter sports. “The hockey schedule remains unchanged due to contractual obligations with rinks and the potential for significant financial repercussions associated with rescheduling ice time,” Maguire said.

DiBenedetto, Schnurr win new three-year council terms By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer
FREEHOLD – Incumbent Democrats Michael DiBenedetto and George Schnurr have been re-elected to serve new threeyear terms on the Borough Council in Freehold Borough. According to results posted online by the Monmouth County Clerk’s Office, as of Nov. 18, DiBenedetto had received 3,077 votes and Schnurr had received 3,008 votes. The results of the election will remain unofficial until they have been certified by the county.
The two Democrats ran unopposed for a pair of three-year terms in the Nov. 3 election. The terms will run from Jan. 1, 2021 through Dec. 31, 2023. Democrats hold all six seats on the Borough Council. DiBenedetto and Schnurr are joined on the council by Sharon Shutzer, Annette Jordan, Margaret Rogers and Adam Reich. Mayor Kevin Kane is also a Democrat. DiBenedetto, who is serving as council president in 2020, is a lifelong borough resident. He has served on the council since 1997. DiBenedetto is the owner of Joe’s Barber Shop, South Street.
Schnurr has lived in Freehold Borough for 32 years. He has served on the council since 2007. Schnurr is employed by FedEx as a director of information technology. The councilmen said they will focus on three issues in their new term: the ongoing construction of a new municipal water plant; road improvements; and the redevelopment of the downtown area after municipal operations move from West Main Street to a building on Mechanic Street. “We thank our residents for their vote of confidence in us and we look forward to continuing to serve all the residents of our community.
“We also thank the other members of the governing body for their support of us and for their dedication to serving the residents of Freehold Borough. “We would be remiss if we did not thank our employees who work every day to serve those who live, work and visit Freehold Borough, and our volunteers who serve on our boards, committees and commissions. “There are many challenges facing municipalities across New Jersey and we are humbled by the faith the voters have continued to place in us,” DiBenedetto and Schnurr said.
Multi-disciplinary healthcare provider NJ Spine and Wellness has appointed R.J. Brunelli & Co., LLC, as its exclusive real estate representative for New Jersey. With existing offices in East Brunswick, Freehold, Matawan and Old Bridge, the practice is initially focused on expanding within its central New Jersey home base of Middlesex and Monmouth counties, said R.J. Brunelli CEO and Principal Ron DeLuca, who is managing the account. “The practice will buy or lease 8,000- to 12,000-square-foot buildings in locations offering high visibility and strong traffic,” DeLuca said. “Freestanding buildings are
preferred, but we will also consider endcap locations in shopping centers. In all cases, the sites must offer in excess of 50 parking spaces and be in close proximity to other medical facilities or physicians’ offices.” Founded in 2013, NJ Spine and Wellness today offers patients a growing team of 45 medical professionals specializing in orthopedic surgery, sports medicine, pain management, chiropractic care, physical therapy, acupuncture, and occupational therapy. Property owners with sites that meet the company’s criteria may contact Ron DeLuca at 732-721-5800.
