School district reports violence and vandalism incidents

By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

While the overall number of incidents reported in the annual Violence and Vandalism report increased between the 2015-16 school year and the 2016-17 school year, Hopewell Valley Regional School District officials attributed at least some of the increases to better reporting.

The overall number of incidents of violence increased from 2 to 11, and the number of incidents of substance abuse rose from 7 to 24, according to the

state-mandated annual report.

There were three instances of violence at the Timberlane Middle School and four incidents at Hopewell Valley Central High School. Four incidents occurred at the Hopewell Elementary School, and all were committed by one student, said Anthony Suozzo, the school district’s director of human resources and its anti-bullying coordinator.

The child, who was having challenges throughout the school year, is no longer enrolled in the school district, Suozzo said.

At the Timberlane Middle

School, there were two incidents of substance abuse, according to the report. There were 22 substance abuse incidents at Hopewell Valley Central High School, of which eight were committed by the same four students, Suozzo said.

The number of confirmed cases of harassment intimidation and bullying increased slightly from 10 cases in the 2015-16 school year to 12 cases in the 2016-17 school year. One of the 12 cases occurred at the Toll Gate Grammar School, and nine were reported at the Timberlane Middle

School. There were two incidents at the high school.

Suozzo pointed to several initiatives designed to promote student safety, ranging from the district’s emphasis on cultural competency and character education, to the campus security officers - many of whom are retired police officers - who are assigned to the schools.

There are substance abuse counselors in the middle school and the high school, Suozzo said, as well as anti-bullying specialists in each of the school buildings.

When the harassment, intimi-

dation and bullying law first came out several years ago, there was reluctance to report incidents because of the official natural of the process, Suozzo said. “But I think the education we have done with our students (has made a difference),� he said. “We spend a lot of time talking about the role of the bystander in a bullying situation.� “I think it has paid off. Our students do feel more comfortable now. If they see something happening and it shouldn’t be happening, they are going to report it,� Suozzo said.

New section of the Lawrence Hopewell Trail opened to the public

By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

215-354-3146

With a snip of the scissors, the ribbon dropped and the newest section of the Lawrence Hopewell Trail - on Province Line Road in Lawrence Township - was opened for business last week.

The 3,760-foot-long section of the Lawrence Hopewell Trail runs along Province Line Road from Route 206 to Bannister Drive. It goes through the Foxcroft development and then crosses Princeton Pike, connecting with the portion of the trail in the Lawrence Township-owned Maidenhead Meadows Park.

The newest leg of the bicycleand pedestrian-friendly trail is known as the King’s Highway segment, because it begins at the intersection of Route 206 and Province Line Road. The King’s Highway is the historic name for Route 206, which was laid out under King Charles II to connect Boston, Mass., and Charleston, S.C. “It is a gorgeous day to celebrate the latest achievement (in the Lawrence Hopewell Trail project),� said Eleanor Horne, co-president of the Lawrence Hopewell Trail Corporation, as she welcomed attendees at the Sept. 29 ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Horne, who retired from the Educational Testing Service, credited co-president Becky Taylor and her former employer, the Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., with having the vision to create an off-road trail to link the two townships nearly 20 years ago. The Educational Testing Service also supported the effort.

But the 22-mile-long trail, which was developed as a publicprivate initiative, could not have succeeded without the support of Lawrence and Hopewell townships and Mercer County, Horne said. She noted the presence of county and township officials, including Lawrence Township Mayor David Maffei and Hopewell Township Mayor Kevin Kuchinski.

The Lawrence Hopewell Trail provides a safe, family-friendly and mostly handicapped-accessible means to travel from one township to the other on foot or by bicycle, Horne said. And it has proven to be a popular amenity, she added.

Mercer County Executive Brian Hughes said that when Horne and Taylor presented the idea for the Lawrence Hopewell Trail in 2002, there were many doubters. But through the force of their personalities, they moved it along, he said. “I want to say that as Mercer County Executive, I have never been prouder of this project,�

Hughes said. Princeton, Ewing Township and Hopewell Borough want to make connections to the Lawrence Hopewell Trail, he said.

Mayor Maffei of Lawrence Township said the trail represents “the best� of Lawrence and Hopewell townships. The mayor, who lives on the corner of Route 206 and Province Line Road, said he witnessed the swift completion of the King’s Highway segment of the trail.

Mercer County Police Academy graduates 17th class

Mercer County dignitaries and law enforcement officials from around the county gathered Sept. 28, 2017, to celebrate the graduation of the 17th basic class of police officers from the Mercer Police Academy.

An audience of several hundred family members, friends, and members of a number of law enforcement agencies saw the class of 68 cadets receive graduation certificates to officially make them police officers.

The commencement was held inside the gymnasium at Mercer County Community College (MCCC). Many cadets wore the uniforms of the respective law enforcement agency each will join; two cadets were Alternate Route trainees who attended the academy at their own expense and now can pursue employment as certified police officers.

The graduates endured 21 weeks of training at the academy in all aspects of law enforcement and will now serve in many different Police Departments within Mercer County and elsewhere (see complete list below). The cadets are the 17th police class of the Academy, which was created in October 2006 and provides a facility and resources to train law enforcement recruits in Mercer County. The academy is located on the grounds of MCCC. Mercer County Sheriff Jack Kemler wished the graduates good luck and the blessing that they return home safely to their families each night.

“In return, the community will ask for your continued courage and commitment, and to remain steady in your role - despite any obstacles or threats placed in front of you,” he said.

Brian Morgenstern, a Montclair resident who will join the New Jersey Transit Police Department, was chosen by his fellow graduates as class speaker. He said that while cadets may have different reasons for pursuing a career in law enforcement, there remains a common thread.

“For some of us it’s the pension system; for others it’s family tradition,” he said. “It’s most definitely not for the lavish pay. But there’s only one reason that’s shared by all police, and that is, we want to help.”

He later reminded his fellow graduates of what they have achieved.

“It’s all up to you now,” he said. “I no longer want to be a cop - I am a cop. We are cops. We are police. We are Class 17-17.”

Also addressing the class were Agent Matt Kemp, Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office; Police Academy Director Martin P. Masseroni; Prosecutor Angelo Onofri; and Hopewell Township Police Chief Lance Maloney, president of the Mercer County Chiefs of Police Association. Also in attendance were Freeholders Ann Cannon, John

BONDED & INSURED

Cimino and Pasquale Colavita; and Dr. Mark Harris, Vice President for Finance and Administration at MCCC. During training, the class studied in disciplines such as use of force, firearms, vehicle pursuit, hostage negotiation, advanced crime scene processing, and domestic violence prevention, among others. Several cadets received awards at the graduation ceremony for their excellence in training.

Casey Annuzzi, who is joining the Middlesex County Sheriff’s Office, was chosen by his classmates to receive the Certificate of Merit awarded by the N.J. Police Training Commission to the best all-around graduate. Jonathan Erd, New Jersey Transit Police Department, received the academic award; Kevin O’Brien, New Transit Police Department, and Preetkaran Singh Middlesex County Sheriff’s Office, shared the firearms qualification award with perfect scores; Michael Cruse, Mercer County Sheriff’s Office, received the physical training award; and Ryan Hensperger, Alternate Route, received the emergency vehicle operations award.

The Mercer Police Academy consists of two classrooms specially designed for the needs of law enforcement training, and recruits use MCCC grounds, its library and its Courtesy photo gymnasium for training purposes. The campus includes a padded training room that is Police Academy graduates celebrate following the Sept. 28 ceremony at Mercer County used for “defensive tactics” classes. A Community College.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Resident supports Democrats To the editor: I am writing to offer my support and endorsement of Mayor Kevin Kuchinski and Michael Ruger for Hopewell Township Committee.

Many issues are important to me at the local level, but I specifically want to talk about fiscal responsibility and fighting for lower taxes, where Kevin and Michael have a proven track record on the Hopewell Township budget—Kevin as Mayor, and Michael on the Finance Advisory Committee.

Like all of us in Hopewell Township, I care a lot about my property taxes, and I want to make sure that our government is using my money wisely. So I did a little bit of research, and three things stood out to me on the 2017 budget.

First of all, I was surprised to learn that of our property tax bill, only 13 percent goes to Hopewell Township (the balance goes to the school district and Mercer County), and that the township has the lowest equalized tax rate in Mercer County. For the average price of $1,700 per residence, we get a whole lot of services (police protection, street paving, bulky waste, brush pickup, etc.).

Second, and hugely important, is that 2017 municipal spending is below 2015 levels, and the change from 2016 has come in below the rate of inflation. Getting spending under control has been a top priority of Mayor Kuchinski and the other Democrats on the township committee, and they have made great strides in reigning in the budget, which, under Republican control, increased more than 6 percent per year in 2013-15.

Finally, I am thankful that the township is reducing debt in this environment of rising interest rates. When the township carries excessive debt, we have to pay the interest on that debt through our tax dollars. Thus, we are spending money without receiving any services in return. If we want to keep our municipal taxes under control, we have to focus on reducing debt. I am thrilled that the 2017 budget will be saving me, as a taxpayer, unnecessary interest costs.

If you want fiscal responsibility at the local level, vote for Mayor Kevin Kuchinski and Michael Ruger on November 7.

All Rights Reserved.

I have spoken with hundreds of residents in Hopewell Township and have heard one message loud and clear. They want to be sure the township has responsible budget management.

Under the leadership of Mayor Kevin Kuchinski and his fellow Democratic committee members, that is exactly what we have seen in Hopewell Township for the past two years.

Two simple facts say it all.

First, when the Republicans were in charge from 20132015, the average annual tax increase was 6.3 percent. With the Democrats in charge for the past two years, the average has been reduced to 1.1 percent. Not only is that well below the state’s 2 percent cap, but it is also below the rate of inflation.

Second, township operating expenses have been cut by over $2 million over the past two years.

Those are facts. It’s not fake news.

I know how hard the Democrats on the township committee have worked to achieve these goals. As a member of the Finance Advisory Committee, I worked with the township committee throughout the multi-month budget process.

I read every budget spreadsheet, looked at every line item, and asked questions. I wanted to ensure the township was spending our money properly.

For those of us who have gone through the process, developing a township budget is a lot of work and requires close attention to detail. But it should be hard—after all, the township is determining how to spend our money, and their decision will affect our bank accounts.

I am proud to stand with Kevin Kuchinski in seeking election to the Hopewell Township Committee. Experience counts. If elected, I look forward to working with him and the other members of the committee to examine every expense in the 2018 budget to make sure we continue to spend our money wisely.

Please vote for Kevin Kuchinski and Michael Ruger for Hopewell Township Committee. For more information about our campaign, please visit our Facebook page at Kuchinski and Ruger for Hopewell Township.

Michael Ruger Hopewell Township

To the editor:

I read the introductory letters from the two Republican candidates. One says the township faces the “issue” of the PennEast pipeline, and the other says nothing about the pipeline. Neither candidate talks about the environment.

The environment is a very important issue to me. I moved to Hopewell Township four years ago. When I heard about the PennEast pipeline, I was very concerned about the damage it would do to my new community. I joined groups like the Sourland Mountain Conservancy, ReThink Energy, the Sierra Club and the Delaware Riverkeeper Network in protesting against the pipeline.

I know that Mayor Kevin Kuchinski and Michael Ruger have also joined in protests. I marched with them last year in Riegelsville and last month in Stockton.

Michael is my son, so I might not be impartial, but I know he is sincere in wanting to protect the environment.

When he says he will not negotiate with PennEast, I know he is telling the truth. And I know Kevin won’t negotiate, either.

I am 79 years old and will keep joining protests until the pipeline is stopped. I know Michael and Kevin will be with me. But I really wonder if I can say the same for the Republican candidates.

I love living in Hopewell Township. My wonderful neighbors have become my friends. I want to see the environment protected, and I know many people feel the same way.

I hope you will join me in voting for Michael Ruger and Kevin Kuchinski for Hopewell Township Committee on November 7.

Hi. I’m Kevin Kuchinski, mayor of Hopewell Township and one of your Democratic candidates for Hopewell Township Committee. I’m asking for your vote on November 7.

I’ve lived in the Elm Ridge Park neighborhood of Hopewell Township since 2003, with my wife, Leslie, our four kids and two energetic labradoodles. Hopewell Valley has been a great place to raise our kids, and I am committed to protecting its rural character.

With my 25+ years of experience in the corporate world, at both Procter & Gamble and Church & Dwight, I have the financial expertise necessary to drive out non-productive spending and to identify new sources of revenue to reduce the property tax burden on families, seniors and all our residents.

Over the past two years, we have cumulatively cut township operating expenses by over $2 million dollars, reining in the out-of-control spending of the prior administration.

Our 2017 budget came in below 2015 spending levels, and Hopewell Township once again has the lowest equalized tax rate in Mercer County.

We are doing more with less across the township, while restoring valuable services like Bulky Waste, rebuilding our Public Works fleet, and covering the increased costs of unfunded state mandates.

Democrats have held the line on Hopewell Township’s municipal tax rate, delivering average annual changes of 1.1 percent per year, which is well below NJ’s 2 percent cap, not to mention the rate of inflation. This is a big improvement vs. the average +6.3 percent per year tax increases pushed through by Republicans in 2013-15.

Looking ahead, we have more work to do. We have made significant inroads towards reducing township debt, but still spend over $1.5 million dollars on interest expenses.

That’s money that adds to everyone’s tax burden without delivering any corresponding service to township residents.

We also need to explore new shared services with area municipalities and the school district, restructure township staffing to deliver services more cost-effectively, and find See LETTERS, Page 5A

Over the past two years, I have worked closely with Ray Disch on the start-up of Sourland Mountain Spirits, the first farm distillery in New Jersey since Prohibition. I have seen first-hand the challenges small business owners face, and we need to do more to streamline regulations and encourage residents to #BuyLocalEatLocalSupportLocal.

I have been on the front lines of the fight against the proposed PennEast pipeline, standing strong with fellow residents and taking our message to Trenton and Washington.

The pipeline threatens to destroy the open space that has kept our quality of life and property values high. Over the past three years, I have joined with local leaders to push back this un-needed and unwanted pipeline, and the Township has been an active intervenor with FERC. Outside of my day-to-day responsibilities, I’m proud to serve as president of the Hopewell Valley Education Foundation, which works to enhance educational excellence in Hopewell Valley public schools and foster innovation in the classroom. HVEF has cumulatively given back over $500,000 to our six District schools over recent years.

I also serve as Co-Chair of the Stony Brook Millstone Watershed Advisory Board, and strongly support protecting our water and the environment. This includes strengthening the ordinances that protect them as well as preserving open space and farmland.

I have deep ties to the Hopewell Valley community and am committed to helping move the Township forward and keeping it green and affordable. Please allow me to put my experience and energy to good use, fighting for you.

Trail forward. The trail was as much about “community” as it was about building a trail, she said, pointing to the two mayors who have worked together on it.

“It was an extraordinary experiment and we didn’t know if it would work,” Taylor said. Quoting the oftused phrase that “it takes a

5A

village,” she said the trail would not have come to fruition if everyone had not worked together.

“It’s a sweet place to be when you have to think of where to put the signs (marking the latest segment of the Lawrence Hopewell Trail),” Taylor said.

Township surrendered in affordable housing settlement To the editor:

It was worse than I thought.

At the regular planning board meeting, just this past September 28, it was revealed at a public meeting for the first time just how badly the township committee, led by Mayor Kuchinsky, failed in their settlement negotiations with the builders of affordable housing, which will result in the coming 3,000 new homes and increase our housing stock by 50 percent in the next eight years.

The township committee was so inept in their negotiations with the builders that, despite the required number of affordable housing units set at 653, we are getting virtually all of the so-called market-rate housing that we would have been forced to accept if the township LOST a builders remedy lawsuit. That’s what happens when you don’t fight for our township. You simply cave in to developers.

Although the township committee claimed that its settlement saved us from a court-ordered builders remedy, in reality the township committee created a virtual self-imposed builders remedy.

And that’s not all.

The settlement agreement also tied the hands of the planning board by the township committee agreeing to specific design features. For example, the settlement agreement with Woodmont Properties allowed for a maximum building height of 75 feet in four-story buildings, instead of our typical maximum 35 foot high, two-story residences.

Since the settlement agreement is a done-deal simply awaiting court approval, there is no saving this township from the coming over-development. The township committee made our bed and now the public must lie in it.

The township committee is fond of suggesting that we should “control our own destiny,” and they did so: by shooting themselves in the foot and surrendering to the builders.

A GLORIOUS SEND-OFF

A formal “visitation� provides friends and family of the deceased with the opportunity to pay their last respects and help them come to grips with their loss. This custom has roots in the Irish “wake,� which is the well-known tradition of giving the deceased a glorious send-off. While viewings once took place at the home of the deceased, today the funeral home is the preferred location, one or two days before the funeral. This viewing can be less formal than the funeral and provides family and friends with an opportunity to reminisce about the deceased loved one. To personalize the viewing, we encourage playing music and displaying photographs that were meaningful to the deceased.

A funeral can and should be as unique as the life that is being celebrated. Personalizing a funeral or memorial service can be therapeutic--it gives you and your family something to concentrate on as you relive memories. It’s also welcomed by family and friends. We offer many ways to personalize a service. To learn more about our services, please call 609-737-2900. Our funeral home is located at 21 North Main St. Continuous Family Service Since 1881. “As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.�

HOPEWELL VALLEY SOCCER ASSOCIATION

Last weekend, the Hopewell Valley Soccer Association continued its fall recreational season.

The following is a submitted collection of the weekend’s results.

D3 Boys

With a fall chill in the air, DeSimone Orthodontics held on to defeat Callaway/Henderson by a score of 3-1 in a well-played game by both teams. Scoring two goals was Jeffrey Blake, while Tommy Irvine also got on the scoreboard. As we are accustomed to seeing, there was outstanding goalie play

by Paul Warznak, and reliable defense throughout the game by Shane Spencer, Robert Taylor, Adam Rise and Aaron Nulman. Controlling the midfield consistently was Teddy Franzino, Joshua Kohlhepp, and Tommy Irvine.

On a perfect autumn afternoon, DeSimone Orthodontics came out of the gate strong, built a comfortable first-half lead, and defeated Ewing 1 by a final score of 5-2. The scoring was led by Noah Pashman, Joshua Kohlhepp, Tommy Irvine and Aaron Nulman. There was consistent offensive and defensive play by Connor Batcha, Jackson Blake, Adam Rise and Robert Taylor, and significant midfield support by Paul Warznak, Teddy Franzino, Shane Spencer and Jeffrey Blake.

The team heads into the holiday bye-week and will resume the schedule in two weeks.

D3 Girls

Dr. McDonough’s Live Wires took on Jack’s Greenhouse & Nursery on Saturday, September 30. The Live Wires opened up the scoring with a goal by Katie Clarke, assisted by Sierra

Mitchell. Kyla Machinga scored next for the Live Wires. Jack’s put a goal into the net to make the score 21. Jaelyn Krin then made a pass to Katie, who was able to take a shot and get it past Jack’s goalie to bring the score up to 3-1. To finish off the scoring for the first half, goalie Natalie Kasprzyk fed a pass to Katie who scored her third goal. The second half saw Katie scoring yet again, thanks to another excellent pass from Sierra.

Sierra then went on to score a goal of her own. Jack‘s got a shot by goalie Mariel Haynes, but Natalie was able to score, aided by an awesome pass from Chelsea Kent. Jack’s scored one additional goal to bring the final score to 7-3 for the Dr. McDonough’s Live Wires victory. Good defensive work throughout the game was provided by Zoe Zeng, Olivia Friedrich and Makenzie Scherbekow.

Dr. McDonough’s Live Wires faced Pixie Salon the next day. Kyla Machinga put the Live Wires on the scoreboard first, accepting a pass from Natalie Kasprzyk and firing the ball into the net. Chelsea Kent and her defense kept the Pixies from scoring in the first half.

The Pixie’s countered, sneaking a hot by goalie Mariel Haynes, but the clock ran out, making the final score 3-2 and leaving Dr. McDonough’s Live Wires with hardearned the victory.

Saturday saw the third meeting of the season between the Union Line Garage Firecrackers and Pixie Salon, this time ending in a hard fought 3-3 tie.

The match opened with Union Line Garage’s Amanda Flanders scoring a hat trick within the first ten minutes, two being assisted

by Emilie Sawicki. The game settled down, with

Pixie Salon scoring before the end of the half. The second half was more like a heavyweight match, with each team’s midfield creating plenty of opportunities while the defense and keepers shut them down for most of the game. Pixie Salon was able to score midway through the half, with the final equalizer coming off a penalty kick with three minutes left in the game. The midfield for Union Line Garage was led by Lilla Antal, Kate Coyer and Lucy Antal, the defensive unit was Reena Fielding, Piper Brant and Shreya Mookherjee, and keepers were Lily Ryan and A. Flanders.

The temperatures were much cooler for the Purple Pixie Salons game against the Union Line Garage team this Saturday. The Purple Pixie girls found themselves down 0 - 3 very quickly in the first half. The Pixie’s kept their cool and Beth Hooks showed her skills with a late minute score in the first half to give the Pixies new found hope.

Rylind Pasquito battled for a ball in the midfield that led to Megan Macdonald pushing the ball in for a score and now the Pixies were only down by one with 10 minutes to go in the game. There was some a frenzy in the penalty box area with a hand ball called on the opposition. Ayla Mauk stepped up to the penalty spot and calmly scored the tying goal of the game. The game ended in a hard fought tie, with both teams really leaving everything out on the fields.

D2 Boys Team Modells stepped up their game on Saturday against HVSA (aka Wolves) on Saturday with a 3-0 win.

Brady brought his speed and worked the entire field helping bring the ball to the goal and shutting down our opponents drives.

Team Stelitano had an evenly matched game against J&V Trophies on Saturday which resulted in a tie. Christopher Robotti of Team Stelitano showed his determination throughout the game by rarely giving his opponent an opportunity with the ball. Team Stelitano’s goal scorer was Seamus Manning.

J&V Trophies’ Luke Rodefeld scored the first and only goal for his team.

Luke scored from a great pass from Adam Russell.

Jack Farrington, Louis Nami, Skyler Hulsizer and Aidan Chow played really

hard on defense but Stellitano striker Seamus Manning was able to score and tied up the game for a final score 1-1. J&V Trophies played vs. Modells Team on Sunday on a really intense game. There was a great saved ball by the J&V Trophies goalie, Gavin Seibold.

J&V Trophies was losing by two goals then Landon Pagnotta scored the first goal.

Later on, two more goals were scored by Modells team. Adam Russell scored one more goal. Luke Rodefeld had many shots to goal on top of helping J&V Trophies defense led by Mateo Franco-Valverde, on trying to block the constant attacks from Modells team. Joshua Ballek and Mark Fereshteh never gave up and both were attacking constantly to Modells. Although J&V Trophies played really hard on the field, the final score was 4-2, for the only second game lost by J&V Trophies this season.

On Saturday, Capital Health fell 2-1 in a close game against Wilson Apple Funeral Home. Erik Petrin scored the Capitals lone goal on a breakaway, with support from Trevor LiVecchi and Chris Miliaresis.

James Gervasoni turned in a strong defensive performance, while Abram Wojciechowicz made some spectacular saves in goal.

TOWNSHIP OF HOPEWELL MERCER COUNTY, NEW JERSEY ORDINANCE OF THE TOWNSHIP OF HOPEWELL AMENDING CHAPTER XVII OF THE CODE OF THE TOWNSHIP OF HOPEWELL ENTITLED THE HOPEWELL TOWNSHIP “LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE”

For the most part, parents may consider their children to be likely candidates for early orthodontic treatment if they have protruding teeth, severe overbites, or cross-bites that keep the lips slightly parted.

If the lips cannot close, it may encourage mouth-breathing, which can lead to dry gums and subsequent problems. Whether or not parents notice these bite problems, it is a good idea to schedule an appointment with the orthodontist to assess their children’s possible need for braces. This early attention PD\ DIIRUG GHFLGHG EHQH¿WV WR some young patients. Not only may early treatment preclude the need for further treatment in adolescence, but it may also prevent small problems from becoming larger ones that necessitate longer treatment.

Some orthodontic conditions are easier to correct if they are detected early. Interceptive orthodontic treatment helps prevent more severe problems later on, and gives an orthodontist control over where the permanent teeth come in by addressing the structure of the jaw and teeth while baby teeth are still in the mouth.

Take notice that the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is seeking public comment on a proposed amendment to the Mercer County Water Quality Management (WQM) Plan. This amendment proposal, (Program Interest No. 435452, Activity No. AMDl70001) entitled "Hopewell Affordable Housing", submitted by Van Note Harvey Associates on behalf of Hopewell Township, would expand the Ewing Lawrence Sewerage Authority sewer service area (SSA) by 73 acres to allow for the construction of a proposed affordable housing development of 600 residential units, consisting of 10 two-bedroom single family homes, 50 three-bedroom single-family homes, 50 two-bedroom townhouses, 150 three- bedroom townhouses, 200 one-bedroom apartments, and 140 two bedroom apartments. The proposed project site is in Hopewell Township, Mercer County on Block 93, Lots 5.01, 5.02 and a portion of Lot 3.01 , located west of Scotch Road (County Route 611) and south of Washington Crossing-Pennington Road (County Route 546). This proposed amendment would also remove 134.19 acres of adopted Ewing Lawrence Sewerage Authority SSA, resulting in a net reduction of 61.19 acres in Ewing Lawrence Sewerage Authority's SSA. The areas proposed to be removed from the SSA are located on Block 85, Lots 8, 13; Block 88, Lot 5.021, and a portion of Block 93, Lot 6.01. The areas proposed to be removed from the SSA include wetlands, riparian zones, forested areas, and preserved open space. These lots are owned by Hopewell Township, except for Block 93, Lot(s) 6.01 which is owned by CF Hopewell. This proposed amendment has been reviewed in accordance with the Water Quality Management Planning rules at N.J.A.C. 7: 15 and represents the Department's decision to proceed further with the amendment application as provided in N.J.A.C. 7: 153.5(g)5.

Pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:15-4.4(d), sewer service may only be provided to areas that are not identified as Enviromnentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs), certain coastal planning areas, or areas subject to US Enviromnental Protection Agency (EPA) 201 Facilities Plan grant conditions, except as otherwise provided at N.J.A.C. 7:15-4.4(i) through (1).

Pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:15-4.4(e), ESAs are any contiguous area, based on a composite Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis, of 25 acres or larger consisting of any of the following features alone or in combination: areas mapped as threatened and endangered wildlife species habitat as identified on the Department's Landscape Maps of Habitat for Endangered, Threatened or Other Priority Wildlife as Rank 3, 4, or 5 (Landscape Maps); areas mapped as Natural Heritage Priority Sites; Category One waters designated in the Department's Surface Water Quality Standard, N.J.A.C. 7:9B, based on the Department's maps of such waters and their corresponding 300 foot riparian zones based upon the Flood Hazard Area Control Act Rules, N.J.A.C. 7:13; and wetlands as mapped pursuant to N.J.S.A. 13:19A-l and 13:98-25.

In accordance with N.J.A.C. 7: l 5-4.4(d), areas shall only be eligible for SSA if they are not identified as enviromnentally sensitive areas, such as threatened and endangered wildlife habitat identified pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7: 15-4.4(e) 1. Areas identified by the Landscape Maps as being suitable habitat for threatened and endangered wildlife species Rank 3 (State threatened), Rank 4 (State endangered), and Rank 5 (Federal endangered or threatened) are not to be included in proposed SSAs except as provided under N.J.A.C. 7:15-4.4(i) through (1). To evaluate areas mapped pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7: 15-4.4(e) l as threatened or endangered wildlife species habitat, the Department utilized its Landscape Maps, version 3.3 at http:www.nj.gov/dep/gis/listall.html. There is no threatened or endangered wildlife species habitat mapped within the proposed sewer service area.

In accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:15-4.4(d), areas shall only be eligible for SSA if they are not identified as environmentally sensitive areas, such as Natural Heritage Priority Sites identified pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:15-4.4(e)2. Areas mapped as Natural Heritage Priority Sites are not to be included in proposed SSAs, except as provided under N.J.A.C. 7: l 54.4(i) through (1). To evaluate areas mapped as Natural Heritage Priority Sites pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7: 15-4.4(e)2, the Department utilized its GIS data at http:www.nj.gov/dep/gis/listall.html. There are no Natural Heritage Priority Sites located on the subject site.

In accordance with N.J.A.C. 7: 15-4.4(d), areas shall only be eligible for SSA if they are not identified as environmentally sensitive areas, such as Category One waters and their corresponding 300-foot riparian zones pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:15-4.4(e)3. Areas identified as Category One waters and their corresponding 300-foot riparian zones are not to be included in SSAs, except as provided under N.J.A.C. 7: l 5-4.4(i) through (1). To evaluate the existence of Category One waters and their corresponding 300-foot riparian zones pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:15- 4.4(e)3, the Department utilized its GIS data at http:www.nj.gov/dep/gis/listall.html. There are no Category One waters or their corresponding 300-foot riparian zones on the subject site.

In accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:15-4.4(d), areas shall only be eligible for SSA if they are not identified as environmentally sensitive areas, such as mapped wetlands pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:15-4.4(e)4. Areas mapped as wetlands pursuant to N.J.S.A. 13:9A-l and 13:9825 are not to be included in proposed SSAs, except as provided under N.J.A.C. 7: 15-4.4(i) through (l). To evaluate the existence of mapped wetlands pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7: 154.4(e)4, the Department utilized its GIS data at http:www.nj.gov/dep/gis/listall.html. The Department's review found that, while there are wetlands located on the proposed project site, there are no wetlands within the proposed SSA. Pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:15-4.4(d), areas shall only be eligible for SSA if they are not identified as coastal planning areas pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:15-4.4(f). Areas mapped as Coastal Fringe Planning Areas, Coastal Rural Planning Areas, and Coastal Environmentally Sensitive Planning Areas are not to be included in SSA, except, as provided under N.J.A.C. 7: 15-4.4(f)1 and 2, to abate an existing imminent public health and safety issue, to accommodate infill development or as necessary to create a linear boundary that coincides with recognizable geographic, political, or environmental features depicted in the Department's GIS coverage. To evaluate the existence of any coastal planning areas identified in N.J.A.C. 7:15-4.4(f), the Department evaluated the presence of coastal planning areas identified on the CAFRA Planning Map available at http:www.nj.gov/dep/gis/listall.html. The subject site is not located within any Coastal Fringe Planning Areas, Coastal Rural Planning Areas, or Coastal Environmentally Sensitive Planning Areas.

In accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:15-4.4(d), areas shall only be eligible for SSA if they are not identified as areas subject to 201 Facilities Plan grant conditions pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7: l 5- 4.4(g). Areas with Federal 201 grant limitations that prohibit the extension of sewers into specified ESAs are excluded from the SSA, unless documentation can be provided demonstrating that a mapping revision or waiver has been obtained from EPA, as provided under N.J.A.C 7: l 5-4.4(g). To evaluate the existence of 201 Facilities Plan grant conditions that prohibit the expansion of SSA to ESAs, the Department reviewed the EPA list of New Jersey Counties with ESA Grant Conditions at https://www3.epa.gov/region02/water/sewer.html. There are no 201 Facilities Plan grant conditions for the proposed site.

Pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7: 15-4.4(h) 1 and 2, the Department shall consider in the delineation of areas eligible for sewer service, the land uses allowed in zoning ordinances and future land uses shown in municipal or county master plans. The applicant requested the proposed amendment to comply with a Settlement Agreement (Agreement) dated July 13, 2017, between Hopewell Township, the Fair Share Housing Center of New Jersey, and five private parties to meet the Township's obligations under the Mount Laurel doctrine and the Fair Share Housing Act of 1985. The Agreement provides that the Township must adopt all ordinances necessary to permit the proposed development stipulated in the Agreement and the proposed amendment within 120 days of August 28, 2017. On July 10, 2017, Hopewell Township adopted Resolution 17-245 approving the Agreement to enable the construction of the affordable/low income housing on the properties subject to the proposed SSA expansion. On September 11, 2017, the Mercer County Department of Planning confirmed to the Department via email that proposed project is consistent with the county master plan.

Pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:15-3.5(j)2, projects that propose to add 100 or more acres to the SSA or where the additional SSA would generate 20,000 gpd or more of wastewater, a modification to the wastewater treatment capacity analysis prepared in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:15-4.5(b) to include the proposed project or activity is required. The proposed project plans to add 73 acres to the SSA and the projected wastewater flow for the proposed project, anticipated to be received by Ewing Lawrence Sewerage Authority, is 135,000 gpd based on flow calculations in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-23.3. The Ewing Lawrence Sewerage Authority Treatment Plant is currently permitted to discharge up to 16 Million Gallons per Day (MGD) under New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) permit NJ0024759. Based on the highest consecutive 12 month rolling average flow from NJPDES Discharge Monitoring Reports over the most recent 5 year period, for the twelve-month period of June 2013 to May 2014, the existing wastewater flow discharged from the Ewing Lawrence Sewerage Authority Treatment Plant was calculated to be 12.128 MGD. Therefore, the additional flow should not cause the facility to exceed its permitted capacity.

This notice is to inform the public that a plan amendment has been proposed for the Mercer County WQM Plan. All information related to the WQM Plan and the proposed amendment is located at: Mercer County Department of Planning McDade Administration Building 640 South Broad Street P 0 Box 8068 Trenton, NJ 08650-0068

George Street Playhouse is setting up shop in a theater on the Rutgers campus for the next two seasons

By Anthony Stoeckert he management of George Street Playhouse has made it easy for audiences to find its new, temporary theater.

Located on the Rutgers campus in New Brunswick, the space George Street will call home for the next two seasons is the former New Jersey Museum of Agriculture, located on College Farm Road on Rutgers’ Cook Campus. A few turns off Route 1 lead visitors to the theater and signage so big it’s impossible to miss. And that’s coming from someone who gets lost just about any time he looks for a destination on the campus.

Inside, the space is designed to be functional and welcoming. A ground-level entrance leads to a large area with a ticket counter and rest rooms. Off that is a space that will be used as a “cabaret” room, where audience members can relax and socialize before a performance.

Most importantly, is the theater space itself. The room where shows will be performed used to be an exhibit hall, where pieces of farm equipment were on view. In addition to a stage and seating for about 200, it has space for a stage manager, lighting and controls.

The smaller venue will result in a more intimate experience for audiences, and it also means George Street’s shows will run longer than the usual three weeks.

Kelly Ryman, George Street’s managing director, says one question she's been asked is if the temporary space will mean folding chairs (some patrons even remember the days when the theater’s home was a former supermarket and used folding chairs), but these seats actually will be quite familiar, and very close to the stage.

“We pulled the seats from the old theater,” Ryman says. “Some people were asking, Are you going to have folding chairs? No, these are the same theater seats.”

The building also offers easy accessibility with no steps from the entrance to the theater, and even to the first few rows of seating.

George Street will start welcoming audiences to this new, interim venue, beginning Oct. 10, with an updated version of “I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change,” the musical with a book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro and music by Jimmy Roberts.

The show ran for more than 5,000 performances off-Broadway, from 1996 to 2008. George Street will be premiering this updated version of the comedy about dating and love in all its forms. The cast will feature Karen Burthwright, Lindsay Nicole Chambers, Mitchell Jarvis and George Merrick.

David Saint, George Street's artistic director, will direct. It will run through Nov. 12.

The season will continue with “An Act of God,” Nov. 28 through Dec. 23. In David Javerbaum's comedy, God takes human form and sets out to straighten out people’s misconceptions of the deity.

Next up will be Christopher Demos-Brown's “American Hero,” Jan. 30 through Feb. 25. Following Demos-Brown's “American Son,” which George Street presented last season, the play is about an Iraq war hero, whose life starts to unravel when a fellow Marine shows up threatening to expose a hidden past.

The play is the second of a projected trilogy about American injustice. Saint will direct the production.

George Street Playhouse will present “Trying,”

by Joanna McClelland Glass, March 13 through April 8. In the play, Frances Biddle, chief judge of the Nuremberg trials, fierce opponent of the Japanese internment camps during World War II, and attorney general under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, is

81 years old and trying to put his life in order. He struggles to communicate with his new, young secretary and these two strangers with different lives influence each other.

Wrapping up the season is Larry Shue’s comedy “The Nerd,” April 24 through May 20. The play opens as Willum is celebrating his birthday and is visited by Rick, a soldier who saved Willum’s life during the war, but who Willum never met face to face.

In addition to presenting shows, George Street’s temporary home offers a space for events, classes, pre-show events and lectures.

“Everything we did in the old building we’ll be able to continue to do here,” Ryman says. “We tried to imagine how we would continue all the programs before and even add to it.”

George Street regulars will be happy to know there is on-site parking right next to the theater.

Ryman says that lot will be available for patrons during performances. Parking nearby is not only convenient, it also makes it easier for people to eat at restaurants in downtown New Brunswick (home of George Street’s old space and theater of the future) and get to Rutgers in time for a show.

The theater is getting the word out to patrons through its website and a volunteer who contacted subscribers to let them know about the new space and to answer any questions.

“Our new subscriptions are up a little bit,” Ryman says. “I think it’s a new space, so there’s been a lot of excitement about it. Also, the season’s a pretty great season, so I think the combination of things, hopefully, are a good recipe for people to be excited.”

The plan is for George Street to call the theater at Rutgers its home for two seasons, and work is underway on George Street’s future home, the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center, a $170-million public-private project. The space will include two theaters, rehearsal studios, class and office space, a 207-unit residential tower and 344-space parking garage. A groundbreaking for the new space took place Oct. 4.

After getting a tour of the theater, I headed to my car, which was just a few steps away from the entrance. As I left, I saw something on the other side of the fence bordering the theater that I’ve never seen in downtown New Brunswick — horses grazing.

George Street Playhouse will present “I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change,” at the theater at 103 College Farm Road on Rutgers' Cook Campus, New Brunswick, Oct. 10 through Nov. 12. For more information, go to georgestreetplayhouse.org or call 732-246-7717.

Science and Culture Take Center Stage ‘Paradise’ at Passage Theatre tells the story of a teacher and an ambitious student

T

he mission of Passage Theatre in Trenton is to present plays that are socially relevant and examine our culture, diversity, and the issues we face.

The first play of Passage’s new season certainly does all of that.

Laura Maria Censabella’s “Paradise,” is a two-character play about Yasmeen (Lily Balsen) a Muslim student at a Bronx school taking a science class taught by Dr. Royston (Grant Shaud). Royston used to teach at Columbia, but his career was derailed and he has found himself teaching at a bad school in front of mostly uninterested students.

Yasmeen is not uninterested. She is an excellent student but has failed one of Royston’s tests. She was distracted by something that led to the bad grade, and is desperate to re-take the test.

Their relationship gets off to a rocky start. There is a bitterness in Royston. When Yasmeen tells him she needs to keep her perfect score, he replies, “We would all like to keep our perfect scores,” then comments that he won’t bargain with her like they’re haggling in over lentils at an Arabian souk.

Yasmeen accuses Royston of being racist and threatens to report him.

Royston says they can figure something out, and soon they’re talking about the science of love, Royston’s specialty. Yasmeen tells him she needs a perfect grade for a science scholarhip to Columbia. It will be a challenge, she’s a senior just taking her first year of biology, but Royston agrees to help her.

“Paradise,” which Passage is staging through Oct. 22, covers cultural differences, education, and science. And writing it took some studying.

“I spent two years researching the science,” Censabella says. “I had a vague idea of what the story would be but I didn’t know entirely. I needed as much science as possible so I could choose what I might need once the story took shape.”

She started with the idea of a disgraced teacher working at a bad school, and a col-

laboration with a student. She also knew the play would examine the science of romantic love, which was included in her proposal for the commission from Ensemble Studio Theatre and Alfred P. Sloan.

“As part of it, I knew his specialty was the science of romantic love,” Censabella says. “So then I knew that in some way this play was always going to be about romantic love — who doesn’t have questions about how to make love last and why does love die?”

Another theme she wanted to explore was the idea of living communally or individually.

“A lot of that came from my own family,” Censabella says. “My mother came from Italy and I have a very communal family culture, but how do you then become an individual in this society? That is a conflict that I actually lived myself.”

Censabella taught in New York City public schools, and had students who were facing arranged marriages, which partly inspired her decision to make her student character Muslim. Her personal life also influenced that choice, as she his half Sicilian and because she was once in a relationship with someone who is Arab-American.

“His family basically adopted me and I feel like I’m still part of the family in many ways,” she says. “I learned about ArabAmerican culture from a very emotional entry, so I felt I had that kind of emotional understanding of it, as well as the prejudice that is attached to being Arab-American. I felt I understood that on some level. I did have to do a lot of research on, specifically, Yemeni culture.”

“Paradise” made its premiere at Central Square Theater in Boston. Before that, Ensemble Studio Theater held a reading of the play, which featured Shaud as Royston.

Shaud, best-known for his role on the ’80s sitcom “Murphy Brown,” has performed at Passage and helped bring the play to Trenton. Following its run at Passage, the proSee PASSAGE, Page 4

Little Piece of Her Heart ‘A Night with Janis Joplin’ at McCarter Theatre brings the legendary singer’s music to life

J

anis Joplin exploded onto the music scene in 1967 and, almost overnight, became an iconic rock ‘n’ roll queen.

Thanks to “A Night with Janis Joplin,” written and directed by Randy Johnson, audiences can be transported back to the ‘60s, suddenly present for a rock concert by the legendary singer.

The Janis Joplin musical will play McCarter Theatre Center, Oct. 10 through Oct. 29, with Kacee Clanton and Kelly McIntyre performing as Joplin in alternating performances. The cast also includes Sharon Catherine Brown, Tawny Dolley, Sylvia MacCalla, and Amma Osei. A live band accompanies the singers.

“If you really listen to the show, ‘A Night with Janis Joplin’ is really a blues, rock opera, the way the lyrics carry the story forward,” Johnson says. “Janis became famous when it wasn’t easy to become famous. There was no artifice in the creation of Janis, it just happened. There was no room full of style consultants and image makers helping her.”

The action of the story focuses on one random night in Joplin’s concert schedule, with small biographical tidbits about Joplin’s life spread throughout. While the production is a look into the life and career of Joplin, it also showcases her musical inspirations, including Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Nina Simone, and Bessie Smith.

The genesis of the musical dates back almost a decade when Johnson was asked to take a meeting with the Joplin family by their manager. He was of course familiar with her music and knew the story of her death, but didn’t know much else.

“They wanted to do a new show about Janis and we had an intense three-hour conversation about their recollections, and I was quite stunned about what I learned about her,” he says. “I learned Janis loved Broadway musicals and was an artist who designed her own clothes for the stage. The portrait that was painted during the meeting was this was a woman who was totally in control of her life, as much as she had demons.”

Johnson was given copies of Joplin’s diaries and journals, as well as everything she had ever recorded.

“I just lived with her writings and music, and didn’t read any of her bios because to me, that’s just another person’s opinion, and my way I was getting the real facts from her family and Janis herself,” he said. “I realized her influences were a lot of my own influences and a lot of her songs came from Broadway shows. For example, ‘Summertime’ came from ‘Porgy and Bess.’”

One night at 3 a.m., Johnson woke up inspired, put on a pot of coffee, and 18 hours later had written the entire show.

“I wrote her journey as an artist as if it was a concert a

Kacee Clanton is one of the two performers who will be playing Janis Joplin on alternating nights at McCarter Theatre. week before her death,” he says. “Janis tells the story of her life, setting her life straight about who she is, how she came to be and it’s the portrait I think Janis would have wanted to see.”

Three months later, the show was on stage at Portland Center Stage, wowing critics and audiences alike.

The show spent four months on Broadway, closing in February 2014 with an expected off-Broadway run followup never materializing. But rather than let the show die, producers planned a North American tour and the Janis Joplin musical has been wowing audiences ever since.

“The show grows every time I do it,” Johnson says.

“People come to me with a great identification of Janis.”

Johnson is well regarded in theater circles for producing and creating legacy shows about famous singers, having been involved in shows about Patsy Cline, Elvis Presley and Conway Twitty.

“There’s always a window that I try to jump into the story and give the audience something to connect to. I find straight bio shows, people kind of lose interest after a while,” Johnson says. “I think as a pop culture, people identify with the musicians as an everyday self.”

Even die-hard fans of Joplin will walk away with something new from the show. One of Johnson’s favorite stories involves the Joplin family household on Saturdays when Janis’ mom would play recordings of Broadway musicals

and each member of the family would take a character and sing along.

“Audiences will learn that Janis was an everyday woman in extraordinary circumstances,” Johnson says.

“A Night With Janis Joplin” will be performed at McCarter Theatre, 91 University Place, Princeton, Oct. 10-29. For tickets and information, go to mccarter.org or call 609-2582787.

“I think the highest compliment I’ve heard about Passage was from an ArabAmerican director who said to me, ‘You’ve never been in a theater that had a more diverse audience than Passage,” Censabella says.

Ballinger scheduled this season and selected “Paradise” to open the season, and new Artistic Director C. Ryanne Domingues says she’s thrilled Passage is presenting the play.

“I was really, really excited that this was going to be our first play of the season,” Domingues says. “I went in, they had the initial read-through, (and saw) two unbelievably strong actors are working on the piece and everybody is just really high-caliber artists.”

Domingues is one of the founders of

She adds that one of the reasons she came to Passage is the theater’s commitment to plays that address social issues, which has been part of her work.

“It’s difficult,” Domingues says. “When it comes to science and religion, there’s always questions but then I also think, We have all these pre-conceived notions about other people’s belief systems, and what they can what they can’t do and what that means to them. I think this play really breaks that down and reveals a lot.”

A Very Bard Halloween Shakespeare ’70 presents an evening of scenes devoted to humankind’s darker side

For 47 years, Shakespeare ’70 has been presenting plays, both by Shakespeare and other writers, but this month, the company is doing something different.

Oh, it’s Shakespeare, but instead of a full play, Shakespeare ’70 is presenting, “Murder Most Foul: A Night of Shakespeare” at the Open Arts Performing Arts Center in Bordentown, Oct. 13-14. The show is designed to be a fastpaced, sometimes funny, sometimes fierce look at famous scenes, as well as some lesser-known Shakespeare moments. And the murder theme makes it appropriate for Halloween.

“We wanted to give audiences [and our Company] another opportunity — a night of Shakespearean scenes and speeches, even a couple of songs, that we created together, around some over-arching theme,” says Janet Quartarone, one of the show’s directors and performers. “Something fast-paced, always changing, at turns funny and fierce, a fresh contemporary look at some iconic scenes, and some other pieces not as well known.”

She adds that the company had talked about taking on this idea for a while. Meanwhile, the Open Arts Center was looking for something that would help audiences get to know Shakespeare. The company will return to the Open Arts Center in September with a contemporary play in the spring.

“We’re always looking for ways to engage both our company members and our audience,” says Curt Foxworth, another of the show’s directors. “Obviously we’re known for those full-length productions of Shakespeare, but we see the power and potential of staging Shakespeare in an alternative context.”

The evening will include scenes from several of Shakespeare’s history plays, which Foxworth says aren’t often performed and feature characters with dark motives and which also have some humor.

“So you’ll see scenes from ‘Richard III’ and ‘Macbeth,’ but also from lesser-known history plays like ‘Henry VI’ — where we see the younger but still twisted man who would become Richard III,” says producer Ray Fallon.

Director Jake Burbage adds that the show will look at scenes from “Othello,” which makes sense as it’s about jealousy and envy, but also from some of Shakespeare’s comedies. “There’s a really mournful song from ‘Twelfth Night,’ and a scene about love, that turns dark, in ‘Much Ado About Nothing,’” Burbage says, adding that about a dozen shows are represented in the show.

The company also is dipping into one of Shakespeare’s most obscure works, one the company hasn’t performed yet.

“And — I think some people will say, ‘it’s about time’

— we’re doing a very famously murderous scene from ‘Titus Andronicus,’” Quartarone says.

Performers in the show include Ray Fallon, Kayla McLaughlin, Michael Krahel, Amanda McCarther, Tim Kirk, Sarah Stryker, Ernie Albanesius, Janet Quartarone, Frank Falisi. The evening will be hosted by Brittany Rivera-Gonzalez.

An evening spotlighting scenes from plays about leaders that say something about the darker side of human nature might lead to speculation that Shakespeare ’70 is saying something about today’s political scene but Foxworth says that isn’t the primary inspiration behind the idea.

“Honestly, we were inspired by the season, but whenever you dig into Shakespeare’s work, you are going to find scenes, characters and speeches that speak to what’s going on in our world now,” he says. “So, even though our intention might have been to have some spooky autumnal fun, we are not shying away from exploring the still-current themes within these texts.”

“Murder Most Foul: A Night of Shakespeare” will be performed at The Open Arts Performing Arts Center, 146 Route 130, Bordentown, Oct. 13-14, 8 p.m. Tickets cost $20; www.openartspac.org; 609-424-3058.

Louise Kekulah and her son Malcolm at her home, which she found through the help of Housing Initiatives of Princeton.

A baby gate, and so much more A “Rent Party” benefit will support Housing Initiatives of Princeton Housing Initiatives of Princeton has given the word ‘gate’ a new lease on life — the same service HIP provides for humans.

‘Gate’ in the past few decades has become a dirty word. It started with Watergate, which opened the floodgates of ‘gate’ as a suffix to imply the existence of a scandal — everything from Pizzagate to New Jersey’s Bridgegate. And now there is Babygate.

Kingston resident Louise Kekulah wrote a letter to HIP board members about a gate, a baby gate that eloquently freed the term ‘gate’ from its negative demons.

The 24-year-old single mother, a Rutgers graduate who intends to pursue a Ph.D. in sociology, lives with her 1-year-old baby Malcolm in a Princeton Housing Initiatives “transition-housing” apartment in Kingston.

She wrote the following to the HIP board: Your commitment and hard work has not gone unnoticed, as a result, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the compassion you have all shown my son and me. I appreciate your gracious service of installing the child protective gate in our home. I was very excited and filled with so much joy when I noticed that the gate was installed. Therefore, I am writing this letter to extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation for your dedication and enthusiasm you have shown us.

It is the little things that count and you all have exemplified how important it is to have a strong support team. For instance, when I received my citizenship I received a congratulatory card in the mail. There is absolutely no word in the dictionary to

have expressed how I felt after opening the card and reading it. You guys are amazing and the best family anyone could wish for in this lifetime!

HIP has made me feel completely loved. I will never forget how my life changed for the better after our first encounter with one another.

I am deeply humbled by the generosity of Housing Initiatives of Princeton in supporting Malcolm and me in other initiatives such as, putting a roof over our heads and ensuring that we become successful despite the turmoil life brings. Having a diverse group of educated women around me with knowledge and experience to confer with has made me feel so much more confident in this competitive world. I one day look forward to being in [a] similar position to serve others and give them just as much hope as you guys have given me.

The Babygate story is fodder for an inspiring religious sermon rather than a scandal-focused tabloid. Carol Golden, HIP chair, explained the wonderful simplicity of the baby-gate donation.

“Louise’s family liaison bought a baby gate before the baby Malcolm was crawling, because the HIP apartment is on the second floor, and we were worried about the baby falling down the stairs,” Golden said. “Then as the baby began crawling, we knew the gate had to be put up as soon as possible. The husband of one of our board members determined that it wasn’t just a pop-in gate, and Louise might have problems with the installation. Carpentry was needed. I called the apartment complex where Louise lives and tracked down the handyman.

Louise came home from work one day and found the gate installed.”

Kekulah said the gate and the support her HIP family gives here is a miracle, especially since she doesn’t have any relatives living nearby.

“HIP not only has provided housing that I could afford, but also provided an entire family for me,” said Kekulah, whose immediate family is in Liberia with other relatives scatted throughout the United States. “I feel very taken care of.”

HIP came into her life at a point when she was determined to survive, but lacked a strategy to do so. Immigrating to America from Monrovia, Liberia, when she was 7 years old, Kekulah did very well in the public schools, graduated from Rutgers University with a double major in psychology and criminal justice, became a U.S. citizen in 2017, and was preparing to go to graduate school in pursuit of a career of “helping others.”

Suddenly, she found herself in a position of being the one who desperately needed help. She had a baby, whose father abandoned Kekulah and their child. Kekulah was renting one room in a house, and the arrival of the baby made this living situation unsatisfactory to her landlord. Existing on her salary as a clerk at QuickCheck, she had no idea where to turn other than to the internet. Searching for affordable housing, she came across Housing Initiatives of Princeton.

“God answered my prayers,” she said.

Kekulah will turn 24 Oct 14, coinciding with HIP’s “Rent Party” benefit at which Louise and Malcolm will be celebrated. Also celebrated at the event will be the generous members of the community who lease housing to HIP for minimal return (tenants’ rents are based on the ability to pay).

Housing Initiatives of Princeton’s

Rent Parties provide an opportunity for neighbors to help neighbors, by donating money to support transitional housing, emergency rental assistance and wrap around supportive services, such as installing a baby gate.

Louise’s two-bedroom condo is owned by Gavin Thomas, who connected with HIP, when he, like Louise, was in his mid 20s, but in very different circumstances. Gavin became aware of HIP thanks to his mother Annie Thomas. She worked for 13 years as the parish administrator for Trinity Church Princeton, one of the organizations that played a pivotal role in the birth of the HIP initiative in 2001.

I was unable to talk to Gavin, who now lives in Washington DC, but did track down Annie Thomas.

Gavin on his 25th birthday was “so very fortunate to receive some funds from his grandparents,” Thomas said.

Although Gavin was reluctant to be a landlord of any sort, his mother, familiar with the HIP model, suggested that he could use his gift to purchase a residential property, lease it to HIP, and help provide some much needed relief to others, while simultaneously protecting the value of his gift.

“HIP tenants are the most responsible of tenants, and so I would recommend this model to anyone who is indeed able to offer this fantastic mission their support,” said Thomas, urging others to open the gates of their residential properties and welcome HIP clients.

HEALTH MATTERS

Dr. Rohit Bhalla, D.O.

Protect yourself against the flu: get vaccinated

October is here, time for watching the leaves change, picking pumpkins, and . . . getting a flu shot?

That’s right.

Flu season typically runs from October through April so now is the time to protect yourself against the highly contagious virus by getting vaccinated.

Who should get vaccinated?

Anyone over 6 months of age should receive an annual flu vaccine. As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes, a yearly flu vaccine is the first and most important step in protecting against this serious disease.

Since 2010, the CDC estimates that the flu has resulted in between 140,000 and 710,000 hospitalizations each year. In addition, in recent years flu-related deaths have ranged from a low of 12,000 to a high of 56,000.

Children, older adults and individuals with compromised immune systems are at an increased risk for the flu and are especially vulnerable to flu-related complications.

How does the vaccine work?

First, it is important to note that there are many different flu viruses and they are constantly changing. Each year, vaccines are updated to match the most commonly circulating flu viruses.

Depending on the vaccine, it protects against three or four strains of the virus, and though the vaccine may not protect against all strains of the virus, should you get sick, it helps reduce the severity of the illness and associated symptoms.

The vaccine, which is not a live virus, works by triggering your body to produce antibodies which will guard against infection should you be exposed. Once vaccinated, it takes about two weeks for antibodies to build up to full force, which is why it is important to get vaccinated now before the season peaks.

This season, only injectable flu vaccines (flu shots) are recommended, even for children. Though nasal sprays have been used in prior seasons it is not recommended this season because of concerns the nasal spray might not work well.

Some children 6 months through 8 years of age will require two doses of flu vaccine for adequate protection. Talk to your pediatrician about what is recommended for your child.

Can I get the flu from the vaccine?

No. You cannot get the flu from the flu vaccine, as the vaccine is not a live virus.

The most common side effects from the flu shot are soreness, redness, tenderness or swelling where the shot was given. Lowgrade fever, headache and muscle aches also may occur, but they are typically mild and last for only a day or two.

Remember, the vaccine takes two weeks to be effective so if you are exposed to the virus during that period, you are not protected.

Where can I get the vaccine?

Flu vaccines are typically offered in doctor’s offices and at many pharmacies.

College health centers, some schools and even some employers may also offer flu shots.

No matter where you go for the vaccine,

Dr. Rohit Bhalla the important thing is getting it.

What do I do if I get the flu?

If you have symptoms of the flu — cough, sore throat, fever, muscle or body aches — stay home, rest and drink fluids.

Most people with the flu have mild illness, according to the CDC, and do not need treatment. However, people who have moderate to severe symptoms or have other co-existing conditions such as lung disease or heart disease are at increased risk for complications from the flu and should seek medical attention.

Doctors can prescribe antiviral medica-

tion that may speed up your recovery time and prevent the risk for serious complications. Antiviral drugs work best when administered within 48 hours of getting sick.

How else can I prevent the flu?

In addition to getting the flu vaccine, taking everyday precautions can help protect you and others against the contagious disease.

Wash your hands regularly with warm, soapy water. If you don’t have access to water, use hand sanitizer.

Cough and sneeze into your elbow or shoulder to minimize droplets that may contain the flu virus from spreading through the air. Typically it takes a few days for flu symptoms to occur once you are infected. Therefore, you could be spreading the virus without even knowing it.

F lush used tissues down the toilet.

Minimize exposure to people infected with the flu.

If someone you are in close physical contact with comes down with the flu, your doctor may be able to prescribe medicine to help prevent you from getting sick too.

The flu virus is a serious disease, one that can become life threatening in some cases. Protect yourself and others. Get vaccinated today.

To find a doctor with Princeton HealthCare System, go to www.princetonhcs.org or call 888-742-7496.

Rohit Bhalla, D.O., is board certified in internal medicine and infectious disease. He is the chief of infectious diseases at University Medical Center of Princeton.
