Administrators will evaluate staff availability after break By MARK ROSMAN Managing Editor

dministrators in the Manalapan-Englishtown Regional School District will use Jan. 4, Jan. 5 and Jan. 6 – the first three days schools will be back in session following winter break – “to determine if there are any staffing issues, as well as to assess the level of (coronavirus) infection in the student population,” according to Superintendent of Schools John J. Marciante Jr. Instruction on those days will be presented to all students in a fully remote manner. “On Jan. 6, the community will be informed of our intentions for moving forward. If all is well, we will return

for in-person learning in the hybrid model as was in place” prior to the winter break, Marciante said. “It is quite possible conditions might be different in various buildings which would lead to some buildings returning to in-person learning and others remaining in remote learning for a specific length of time, which would be announced on Jan. 7. “In addition, the district is working on a plan to bring back classified students as well as some students with 504 plans (a plan for children who have a disability) in grades three through five. “The specifics of the plan as well as the implementation date will be announced in January. … The situation

is fluid and plans can always be impacted by the changing situation on the ground,” Marciante said. The issue of what type of instruction to have in place immediately after winter break – fully remote instruction or the hybrid model that combines in-person instruction and remote instruction – was a topic of discussion during the Dec. 15 meeting of the school district’s Board of Education. As of that date, Marciante said, he did not have data for January regarding how many staff members or how many students would be impacted by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. He did, however, say the safest place for a child (Continued on page 15)

YOUR TURN
Using science to bring back iconic American chestnut trees
B
y the time the famous lyrics, “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose …” were penned in 1945, most of the magnificent American chestnut forests in the eastern United States were gone, the victims of a blight that would eventually kill some four billion trees. In today’s terms, it would be a pandemic … one far more deadly to American chestnuts than COVID-19 to humans. More than a century after the majority of American chestnut trees were wiped out, those who love the iconic species are hoping modern science and technology – including genetic engineering and biological controls – will bring them back. “We are talking decades and centuries to restore a species,” said Sara Fitzsimmons, director of restoration for the American Chestnut Foundation, a North Carolina-based nonprofit organization working on a chestnut comeback. “It’s going to be a long slog and we are going to need a lot of people planting trees,” she said. For thousands of years, the American chestnut (Castanea dentata) dominated Eastern forests – including those in New Jersey – growing upward of 100 feet tall, with trunks as wide as 10 feet in diameter. Each fall the chestnut trees’ sweet nuts reliably blanketed forest floors, providing a bountiful harvest for wildlife and people. The straight-grained, rot-resistant tree trunks were used to make timber for everything from houses to railroad ties. En-

Fitzsimmons said research is being done
at several places in Monmouth County, including Hartshorne Woods Park, where a virus is attacking the fungus on American chestnut trees planted after the great blight. “None of these three B’s can restore a species in isolation,” noted Fitzsimmons. But used together, they may be able to bring back the American chestnut. During a time when many American forests are under stress from invasive insects, invasive non-native plants, diseases, over-abundant deer and climate change, the success of the 3BUR program has implications beyond American chestnut trees. “It’s not just about the chestnut right now,” said Fitzsimmons. “We are setting a template for the restoration of other native species. Yes, there is reason to restore the American chestnut on its own, but there are a lot of other species that will need restoration.” To learn more about American chestnut restoration efforts, visit the American Chestnut Foundation website at https://acf. org/ One especially helpful resource is a series of online video conferences known as “Chestnut Chats,” that took place this past year.

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA
2021 Chevrolet Tahoe 4wd Premiere
A
few weeks ago, I reviewed the 2021 Toyota Tundra – a vehicle that gets a gas guzzling 14 miles per gallon. Charles Skinner, one of my readers, took exception to the fact that I reviewed a “gas guzzler.” Skinner wrote in his comments to the Princeton Packet: “He does not even hint that operating this gas guzzler – instead of a hybrid or electric vehicle – will accelerate climate change with egregious indirect costs that will be Peter Perrotta borne by human society and the natural world. “Why does Mr. Perrotta not mention the exacerbated forest fires, drought, melting ice caps, rising sea levels and extreme weather that are overwhelming points against buying and operating this vehicle?” These are all points well taken, Mr. Skinner. However, my On The Road column is not meant to be a political or environmental commentary or statement on how automobiles affect climate change. Instead, it is more a reflection of what is being offered on the current auto market and to give the consumer some type of independent judgement on what to expect from the cars or trucks I review, if they so happen to be considering purchasing or leasing that particular model. That being said, if you go back over the past year you will also see that I have reviewed numerous hybrid, electric hybrid and purely electric vehicles. I used this as a preamble to this week’s column because I will be reviewing another vehicle which may be perceived as a “gas guzzler” type, the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe 4WD Premiere. While not as fuel thirsty as the Tundra, the Tahoe I recently drove for one week gets a non-eco-friendly 18 miles per gallon overall – 20 mpg in city driving and 16 mpg around town. The EPA estimates that it will cost – on average – about $2,250 per year to run the Tahoe, as it uses about 5.6 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. Again, I reiterate, by reviewing this
2021 Chevrolet Tahoe 4wd Premiere
large, 3 row SUV, I am not advocating that it is good for the environment to own one or lease one. However, one can not deny that large SUVs and pickup trucks are popular in the United States. According to Chevrolet, the Tahoe is the best-selling full-sized SUV in the United States – a title Chevy claims it has held for the past 19 years. I wouldn’t be doing my job justice if I ignored this segment of the automotive market and only reviewed vehicles that were considered eco-friendly or safe. The Tahoe I drove for one week was powered by a 5.3 liter, ecotec3 V8 engine that produces about 355 horsepower at 383 pound feet of torque. Chevrolet will be making that Tahoe available with a more fuel efficient 3.0 liter I-6 diesel engine that puts out 277 horsepower and gets up to 28 miles per gallon on the highway. The Premiere edition Tahoe I drove has a base price of $65,600. My tester had a bottom line sticker price of $71,380 as it added $4,485 for a premium package and
$1,295 for destination and delivery. Some of the items the premium package features include: power panoramic sunroof, adaptive cruise control, enhanced emergency braking, multi color heads up display, advanced trailering system and an enhanced cooling radiator. The 2021 Tahoe features a newly redesigned exterior and interior, more cargo room behind the third row of seats, an independent rear suspension, a 10.2-inch color touch screen, and up to nine available camera views. I like the aggressive new look on the redesigned Tahoe – both inside and out. There is plenty of room inside; this new Tahoe has a massive 122.9 cubic feet of cargo space with both the second and third row folded down. It also is a workhorse, featuring 8,400 pounds of trailering capability. While it took me a bit to get used to the overall bigness of this Tahoe – while driving it – once I did get used to it, I found it to be easy to handle, and quite comfortable. The new independent rear suspension is a winner in my book.
Car and Driver gives the new Tahoe high marks for the cabin being “impressively quiet.” They add that the third row is “actually comfortable” and marveled at its ability to tow up to 8,400 pounds. On the other hand, Car and Driver called the new front end design “divisive,” said it featured some “questionable interior ergonomics” and said its top models cost too much. But, in the end, the editors at Car and Driver gave the Tahoe a positive rating, saying, “The new Tahoe is more spacious and sophisticated then before, which resolidifies its spot atop the large SUV class.” I would have to agree. I think that if you are considering going out to purchase or lease a large, three-row SUV, then one would be remiss if you didn’t include the Tahoe on your short list of SUVs to consider.

Marshall concludes driving career at Freehold Raceway
For more than four decades, the driving colony at Freehold Raceway has included “Diamond Jim” Marshall III. That era came to an end on Dec. 19, but not before Marshall notched one more harness racing victory. In his penultimate drive, race 10, Marshall won his 3,820th race, according to a press release. Marshall put Rancousy on the lead ear-
ly on and never gave it up, holding for a half-length win. The winner is owned by Barbara Bongiorno and John Papadakis, and trained by Robert Bongiorno. Following the race, Marshall was honored with a ceremony on the track, where he was presented with a ceremonial mug. Jim’s wife, Donna, a trainer, and his son, Jim IV, a driver, were present.

County freeholders select firm to operate landfill By MARK ROSMAN Managing Editor
T
he Monmouth County Board of Freeholders has unanimously authorized the award and execution of a landfill facility service agreement with Waste Management of New Jersey Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, the corporation will operate the Monmouth County Reclamation Center in Tinton Falls. Garbage from the county’s municipalities is transported to the facility. During a meeting on Dec. 8, Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone said the county is not selling the landfill property or the infrastructure at the reclamation center, but is hiring a corporation to operate the sprawling facility. Arnone and freeholders Susan M. Kiley, Lillian G. Burry, Patrick Impreveduto and Dominick DiRocco voted “yes” on a motion to pass a resolution which designates Waste Management of New Jersey Inc. as the landfill’s new operator. Arnone said the decision to have the county step away from operating the landfill was made because the deficit associated with the facility was “getting deeper and deeper, through no fault of the county employees who work at the landfill.” He said representatives of the county’s human services department will meet with the employees who will be displaced by the change in the landfill’s operator and discuss their employment options. “At the present time, we are holding county positions that are currently open for people coming from the landfill. That might not be the case if we wait three to
five years if we kick the can down the road. “We are very confident every employee at the landfill is going to have a bona fide offer (of employment). People who can retire will be given that opportunity and may actually go to work for Waste Management. We will also have certain staff on site,” Arnone said. County officials said the decision to engage a corporation to operate the landfill will yield millions of dollars in savings. According to the resolution, county officials were authorized to solicit a Request for Qualifications and a Request for Proposals to seek qualified companies to operate and maintain the landfill. In February, the county received qualifications from Waste Management of New Jersey Inc. and Urbaser Inc., both of which were deemed qualified by the county. In June, a Request for Proposals was issued by the county to Waste Management of New Jersey Inc. and Urbaser Inc. In July, the county received a proposal from Waste Management of New Jersey Inc., which is a Delaware corporation that is authorized to do business in New Jersey. The county did not receive a proposal from Urbaser Inc. Negotiations were conducted between representatives of the county and Waste Management of New Jersey Inc. and an agreement was reached, according to the resolution. The awarding and execution of the agreement is subject to the consent and approval of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection pursuant to the terms of the requirements contained in the county’s permits for the landfill.

Muhlenberg College, Allentown, Pa., junior Dan Gaines of Colts Neck was named to the Basketball Times preseason All-America team. However, Gaines and his teammates will not have the opportunity to compete during the 2020-21 season as the Centennial Conference Presidents Council made the decision to cancel all winter sports due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The Presidents Council had previously canceled all fall sports. According to a press release from the college, Gaines is one of only five juniors among the 24 players listed in alphabetical order on the preseason All-America team. He was coming off a 2019-20 season that earned him a spot on the D3hoops.com All-Middle Atlantic Region second team and the National Association of Basketball Coaches All-Middle Atlantic District second team, Gaines averaged 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.85 assists for the Mules in 2019-20. He led the Centennial Conference in assists per game and assist-to-turnover ratio (2.2) and also ranked in the top 10 in the league in three-point percentage (third at .432), free throw percentage (third at .842), scoring (fourth), steals (sixth with 40) and field goal percentage (seventh at .521). Gaines, from Colts Neck High School, finished in the top 40 in NCAA Division III in total assists (131), the most by a Muhlenberg player since 1976, and he ranks sixth among active Division III juniors with his career total of 230 assists. The point guard was named the Centennial Conference Player of the Week three times and scored in double figures in all but four of the Mules' 27 games, netting 20 or more points nine times and recording backto-back 30-point games against Ursinus and Franklin & Marshall.

COLTS NECK – Tara Torchia Buss is looking forward to starting her ďŹ rst threeyear term on the Township Committee in January. Buss and incumbent Michael Viola ran unopposed for two seats on Colts Neck’s governing body in the Nov. 3 municipal election. Viola won his second term on the committee, which will continue to have a 5-0 Republican majority in 2021. “I want to thank all of the residents for their support and conďŹ dence,â€? Buss said. “I will work very hard on the Township Committee to ensure people are proud to continue their conďŹ dence and support in me throughout my term. “I am looking to keep Colts Neck a great town in which to live and raise a family. I will continue to push for preserving open space, keeping taxes at and maintaining a strong emergency services organization to keep our residents safe,â€? she said. Buss is a strategic business account development executive with T-Mobile. Prior to joining T-Mobile she was a director and professor of public health at the University of Maryland. As she prepares to join the governing body in January, Buss said, “I want to ensure and assure that the town keeps the character I grew up with here; the character it currently possesses in which I now live, and for my, and our, children into the future. “We are at a pivotal time in Colts Neck in regard to affordable housing and business development. ‌ I have spent many years involved with a variety of groups and people in Colts Neck, including the Colts Neck PTO, the Colts Neck Sports Foundation and the Colts Neck Business Association, which has been a wonderful way to meet people in our town, create friendships

We need to have respect with how the town has evolved into one of the most cherished places to live, while allowing it to evolve to accommodate the people who have raised generations here and welcome those who want to call it home,â€?

tendent of Curriculum and Human Resources Nicole Santora to offer her views. Santora said her concern “is that we have seen a lot of districts shut down, but their numbers (of coronavirus cases) did not go down. If we shut down the schools does that change (people’s) behavior in town? I don’t know what the best decision is.” She suggested that having several days of fully remote instruction when classes resume after winter break would give administrators an opportunity to determine if staffing the buildings would be an issue moving forward. Santora said data shows “the district is not seeing a loss of learning in the remote or hybrid models and the staff deserves

“is sitting in class, socially distanced and wearing a mask.” The school district has been operating with a hybrid model for students whose parents selected that option at the start of the 2020-21 school year. Some students have received 100% remote instruction if their parents selected that option at the start of the school year. In comments to the board members, Marciante said when instruction resumes on Jan. 4, administrators will immediately attempt to determine “how many staff members will be available in January; and available means not sick or quarantined.” The superintendent and board members acknowledged that some staff members and students may be traveling outside of New Jersey during the winter break and/or that staff members and students’ families may be hosting relatives from other states during their time off from school. Marciante asked the board members to discuss the issue and give him direction regarding the reopening of the district’s schools. It was noted during the discussion that a superintendent is not obligated to follow the board’s direction in matters pertaining to the operation of the school district. Board President Dotty Porcaro said people would be going away during winter break. She suggested implementing fully remote instruction for the first two to three weeks in January. Board Vice President Lori Semel said the schools should offer fully remote instruction for the first two weeks in January. Gerald Bruno said he wants the schools to be open for in-person learning when winter break ends, but said the superinten-
dent reserves the right to decide the issue based on the data that is available regarding staff members and students. Brian Graime said he “tends to agree with Mr. Bruno. I would hope schools would open.” He suggested that if administrators opt for fully remote instruction as of Jan. 4, “that we do it for one week at a time” and determine if each week will be fully remote or use the hybrid model. Ryan Urgo said, “It’s a hard call. School is the safest place for kids now with social distancing and masks. That’s the truth. I could be comfortable with an all-remote week after winter break (Jan. 4-8), but I don’t want this to turn into a semi-indefinite change because we are only looking at rising numbers.” Christine Parisi said, “The numbers (of coronavirus cases) are increasing, the positivity rate is increasing; (the virus) is being brought into the schools.” Parisi said she would support remaining fully remote during the first week in January “to ensure the safety of our community.” David Kane said “going virtual is not ideal; it is not what anyone (on the board) wants, but the best move is to be a little more conservative. I would agree with going virtual for a period of time between Jan. 4 and Jan. 8 … ideally we will be back (to the hybrid model) on Jan. 11.” Janet Lewis, who was participating in her final meeting before leaving the board, said she would suggest “erring on the side of caution by going virtual for two weeks.” Lewis suggested keeping students and staff members home during the weeks of Jan. 4-8 and Jan. 11-15, and on Jan. 18 (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday). She said in-school instruction would resume on Jan. 19 in that scenario. Joanne Schechter suggested having at least one week of fully remote instruction from Jan. 4-8 and, if possible, reopening the schools on Jan. 11. Marciante asked Assistant Superin-
