Greater Somerset County YMCA receives grant from FirstEnergy Foundation for pandemic response Greater Somerset County YMCA received a $25,000 grant from the FirstEnergy Foundation as part of the “Investing with Purpose” initiative.

FirstEnergy’s initiative was developed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic which created health, financial and educational hardships across FirstEnergy’s six-state territory and in response to the events of 2020 that highlighted racial and social injustices impacting our nation, according to information provided by the Y. The contribution supports the YMCA’s mission work to address urgent and emerging community needs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The health and economic crises over the past year have brought about many barriers that prevent local residents from living productive, healthy and connected lives, according to the statement. As a nonprofit community-impact organization, the Y has mobilized to address inequity, food security, health disparities, learning gaps and more within our community. With these shared goals, FirstEnergy provided the grant to support emergency child-

care for healthcare and essential workers, food security outreach in collaboration with multiple community organizations, and blood drives in partnership with the Red Cross and Robert Wood Johnson, according to the statement.

“Throughout this challenging time, the Y has remained ever more committed to our mission of strengthening the community.

We are so grateful for philanthropic support, which allows us to maintain the financial resources needed to sustain Greater Somerset County YMCA as we focus on vital community needs now and in the future,” David Carcieri, president and CEO of Greater Somerset County YMCA, said in the statement. “The generosity of FirstEnergy Foundation helps us to transform the lives of vulnerable neighbors.”

For over 145 years, Greater Somerset County YMCA has been responding to pressing community needs, which is ingrained in the organization’s mission and history. With a focus on strengthening community for the good of all, the Y leverages its experience and partnerships to respond to social

needs, deliver effective solutions and ensure that neighbors have the resources and support they need to thrive, especially in times of crisis, according to the statement.

“The Y is vital to Somerset County,” Elaine Vincent, FirstEnergy Corporate Affairs and Community Involvement advisor, said

in the statement. “Greater Somerset County YMCA’s vast support of the community has been remarkable. From providing safe child care and summer camp options for working families, to food security initiatives, to employment sources, to wellness offerings, the Y has truly stepped up to help so

many people to thrive through the crises we face.”

Wright selected to join Hillsborough Township Committee

By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer

Democratic candidate Jeffrey Wright was appointed to take over the seat that belonged to former Councilwoman Olivia Holmes on the Hillsborough Township Committee at a special board meeting held on March. 2.

Holmes resigned from her post on the board on Feb. 4, citing health issues that had arisen PHOTO COURTESY OF HILLSBOROUGH DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION

Jeffrey Wright

for her from contracting COVID-19.

An investment adviser representative and financial advisor for Garden State Securities, Inc., Wright has been a Hillsborough resident since 2014.

Wright has experience working with local government, currently serving his second year on the Somerset County Planning Board.

When he lived in Piscataway, the father of four served on the township’s Zoning Board of Adjustments for 5 years and was a member of both the Open Space Committee and Senior Citizens Housing Committee.

He is also the Democratic County Committee member for District 9 (Country Classics).

Wright was selected over Democratic colleagues Donnetta Johnson and David Brook for the position on the council. Both Johnson and Brook ran for the two open committee seats this past November.

Because of Holmes’ departure, the Hillsborough Demo-

crats Organization was allowed under state law to propose three candidates for the committee to choose from in order to fill the vacant position.

Wright was nominated by Councilman Doug Tomson at the beginning of the session and was then approved by fellow Republican committee members Mayor Shawn Lipani and Councilwoman Janine Erickson.

Deputy Mayor Frank DelCore was the only member of the committee to vote “no” on Wright, stemming from the differences that the two men had when running for the council in 2019.

During the 2019 election, both Wright and DelCore filed complaints against each other through the New Jersey Election Law and Enforcement Commission.

“I’m very disappointed in the spreading of false information about me and members of the employee base here,” DelCore said during roll call. “It was a very poor situation and it does not reflect the seat that is being filled for Ms. Holmes. It continues to leave a great negative taste in my mouth.”

In other forms of official business held during the special meeting, the committee passed two resolutions to apply to have a COVID-19 Vaccination site set up in the township and request for all municipal employees and educators to be eligible to get a vaccine as soon as possible.

Councilman Wright could not be reached by press time to speak about his selection to the Hillsborough Township Committee.

In the ultimate emblem of perseverance, Beckett’s Winnie, a tour de force of charm and grit helplessly buried up to her waist in the ground, endures the wearisome humdrum of endless, interchangeable days.

Directed by Princeton alumnus Nico Krell and featuring alumni Tessa Albertson and Jake Austin Robertson.

THE STATE WE’RE IN

ria arch  

By Michele S. Byers

History and hiking in New Jersey are perfect together

I

t’s hard to go more than a few miles in New Jersey without bumping into an historic site. The state isn’t called the “Crossroads of the American Revolution” for nothing. George Washington spent more time here than in any other state. And New Jersey has many historic sites connected to early industry and agriculture.

Know what else New Jersey has plenty of? Open space and trails. In every region from High Point to Cape May, there are lots of great places to walk and hike.

If you enjoy history and hiking, read on. Many of New Jersey’s most interesting historic sites are part of larger parks with trail networks.

Here are some great places to pair an invigorating walk with a lesson in local history this winter and spring. You may not be able to get in the buildings during the pandemic, but there is still plenty to see: • Morristown National Historic Park – You won’t find a park more steeped in Revolutionary War history than the site of Washington’s encampment during the extraordinarily frigid winter of 1779-80. The park consists of four important places: Jockey Hollow, the Ford Mansion, Fort Nonsense and the New Jersey Brigade Encampment site.

Miles of trails wind through the park’s hilly terrain.

• Delaware & Raritan Canal State Park – One of the nicest places in the state to walk or bicycle is along the D&R Canal, which stretches 77 miles from New Brunswick to Trenton to Frenchtown. For a taste of local history, check out the Prallsville Mills historic site in Stockton, a mill village along the Delaware River dating back to the 1700s. As a bonus, the area surrounding Stockton has miles of trails through the scenic countryside in the Wickecheoke Creek Preserve.

• Batsto Village – Located within Wharton State Forest in the Pine Barrens, Batsto Village was established in 1766 as an iron making community. After iron production dwindled, the village turned to glass. Glassmaking also died out, but the village remains today a wonderful historic site with a mansion, iron furnace, general store, gristmill, sawmill and cottages. Several hiking trails are directly accessible from Batsto Village and more are located in other sections of the state forest.

• Washington’s Crossing State Park – This state park in Mercer County commemorates Washington’s famous crossing of the Delaware River on Dec. 25, 1776 to surprise and overwhelm Hessian mercenary troops quartered in Trenton. The victory at the Battle of Trenton is credited with turning the tide of the struggling American Revolution. Enjoy hikes on the park’s trails as you soak up history and river views.

• Paterson Great Falls National Historic Park – New Jersey’s most impressive falls, which once powered Paterson’s famous silk mills, are not to be missed. Although there are no trails directly connected to the historic park, Passaic County’s Garrett Mountain Reservation is just a short distance away. In addition to its trails, some on steep and challenging terrain, the reservation includes Lambert Castle and other historic buildings.

• Monmouth Battlefield State Park – The park in Manalapan is located at the site of the Battle of Monmouth, fought on June 28, 1778, the longest one-day battle of the Revolutionary War. Though the battle ended in a draw, it was considered a moral victory for Washington. The park includes a historical museum, visitors center and a colonial rural landscape of orchards, fields, woods and wetlands with miles of trails.

• Allaire State Park – This Monmouth County park in Wall Township includes the Historic Village at Allaire, once an iron producing factory town. The village was selfsufficient, with homes for workers, a carpentry and patternmaking shop, blacksmith shop, bakery, boarding house, school, church, blast furnace, mills and a general store with a post office. Today the Historic Village at Allaire is an interactive museum where visitors can experience history directly through hands-on activities. Several hiking trails are located in the park.

• Fort Mott State Park – Fort Mott, in Salem County, was part of the Harbor Defenses of the Delaware, a threefort defense system designed for the Delaware River during the period following the American Civil War through the

1890s. The trails at the park are not long, but they offer splendid views of the river from the fortifications.

• Whitesbog Village – Part of Brendan Byrne State Forest, Whitesbog Village is a historic farm and town with old buildings, blueberry farm fields, cranberry bogs, hiking trails, reservoirs, streams, a picnic grove and the Elizabeth White Gardens. In the early 1900s, Whitesbog was the largest cranberry farm in New Jersey and its founder, Joseph J. White, was a nationally recognized leader in the cranberry industry. His daughter, Elizabeth C. White, went on to help develop the first cultivated blueberry bushes.

• Millbrook Village – Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area is best known for its spectacular trails, but it also includes Millbrook Village, a collection of historic buildings. The village got its start in 1832, when a local farmer built a grist mill along Van Campens Mill Brook.

Millbrook Village is not an exact re-creation of the community that sprang up around the mill, but it evokes the feeling of New Jersey’s countryside hamlets.

• Deserted Village of Feltsville – For a somewhat spooky experience, check out the Feltville Historic District, located in the Watchung Reservation in Union County. At various times, Feltsville was a mill town, a farming area and a summer resort. It is known locally as “Deserted Village,” as most buildings dating from the 18th century are abandoned and in need of repair. After seeing the village, enjoy

the Watchung Reservation’s miles of spectacular trails.

• East Jersey Old Towne Village – The village is a collection of local historic structures that were disassembled and relocated to Johnson Park in Piscataway. These reconstructed and replica buildings – including a tavern, blacksmith shop, homes and a church – represent architecture typical of farm and merchant communities once found in the Raritan Valley. Johnson Park is a linear park running along the Raritan River, with walking paths, ballfields and a zoo.

• Liberty State Park – Located on the Hudson River waterfront in Jersey City, Liberty State Park is New Jersey’s most popular state park, with spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline, Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.

Liberty State Park is also home to the historic Central Railroad of New Jersey terminal, and has numerous walking paths along the water and in the park’s interior.

Enjoy hiking and history. It’s fun to get exercise and fresh air while learning about the events, people and lifestyles that shaped New Jersey. If there has been a fresh snowfall, be sure to check trail conditions … you might want to switch to cross-country skiing or snowshoeing instead.

Endocrine Disruptors

N

“

ew York Times” columnist Nicholas Kristof reported on a recent book by epidemiologist Shanna Swan, “Count Down,” and studies by other scientists and professors that warn a class of chemicals is having serious impacts on our reproductive abilities.

The chemicals are called endocrine disruptors. They, when they get into us, “mimic the body’s hormones and thus fool our cells.” This can lead to “reproductive havoc.”

And unfortunately these chemicals are everywhere: in “plastics, shampoos, cosmetics, cushion, pesticides, canned foods, and ATM receipts.”

Among the impacts of these chemicals are drops in sperm counts, genital abnormalities, girls experiencing early puberty, mature women experiencing declining egg quality, and more miscarriages.

Animals, too, are experiencing physical abnormalities.

And researchers have found that impacts of these endocrine disruptors are “cumulative, generation after generation.”

Shanna Swan hopes that people will come to see the seriousness of this problem as most have come to acknowledge the climate crisis.

The World Health Organization, the President’s Cancer Panel, and endocrine societies have all warned of these problems. Europe and Canada have moved to regulate them. It is to be hoped that this country and the new ad-

ministration will follow suit. Prior to this change, chemical companies, like tobacco and automobile companies before them, had resisted testing, corporate responsibility, and oversight.

Other researchers caution that the knowledge of how and how widely these disruptors work is not complete, but the threat is that some people will become infertile and unable to have children and extend their family line.

Shanna Swan offers a number of suggestions to avoid endocrine disruptors. They include: use glass and not plastic containers for food storage; do not microwave foods in plastic wraps or containers or tops; avoid pesticides; buy organic produce where possible; avoid tobacco and marijuana; don’t use vinyl shower curtains; don’t use air fresheners; prevent dust buildup; and check on environmental evaluations of consumer products.

Finally, Kristof observes that this situation, like that of climate change, could be around for a significant period.

As carbon dioxide lingers in our atmosphere for centuries, so the chemicals carrying these endocrine disruptors may be so deeply embedded in our products, and human and animal bodies, that they may not quickly be able to be expunged. Thus our very future may well depend on our thorough understanding of these problems, and our responses to them.

Mayor denies affordable housing application amid concerns over stream corridor Mayor Shawn Lipani moved to deny the Campus Associates application on Feb. 25, and subsequently the application was unanimously denied by the Hillsborough Planning Board.

Various overarching environmental concerns lead to the denial, according to information provided by the township.

“Public health and safety is always the top priority in Hillsborough Township, and this was the impetus for my motion,” Lipani said in the statement.

The Campus Associates application did encompass an affordable housing element (23 units) and therefore, as a result of this denial, there will be potential litigation brought against the township, according to the statement.

Hillsborough’s stream corridor ordinance is more restrictive than that of the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP); Hillsborough’s requirement is for a 150 feet boundary for a stream corridor, while DEP’s minimum requirement for such is only 50 feet, according to

the statement. The application brought forth by Campus Associates only allotted for a 50 foot boundary.

While it was argued that the township’s code could not be more restrictive than that of DEP, that is not necessarily the case. DEP’s requirements are minimum and the township is permitted to have a more restrictive requirement, according to the statement.

It was evident during various testimony that the more restrictive requirements needed to prevail, according to Lipani’s statement. Furthermore, the downstream water flow capacity was also brought into question by various witnesses and testimony. The existing neighborhood of Taylor and Johanson avenues raised concerns over flooding issues during the hearings.

“It is through the Planning Board process that applications such as this are reviewed and all aspects considered.

Here is a prime example of how the process works in so much as providing the factual testimony for consideration which resulted in this denial,” Lipani said in the statement.

Monoclonal antibody treatment available for Chelsea Senior Living residents Chelsea Senior Living will be among the first assisted living companies in New Jersey to make on-site monoclonal antibody (mAb) treatments available to residents symptomatic with COVID-19.

This allows the affected residents to avoid a hospital trip while receiving a treatment that has been effective in reducing symptoms, according to information provided by Chelsea. MAb are laboratory-made proteins that mimic the immune system’s ability to fight off harmful pathogens such as viruses. They were given Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) by the Food and Drug Administration in November.

MAb therapy, given by infusion, is not a cure for COVID-19 and is not a substitute for the vaccine.

“The impact the mAb has had on our patients has been nothing short of remarkable,” John Hopkins, DO, CCS Healthcare, said in the statement. “This is a game changing medication in the fight against COVID. It tru-

ly saves lives.”

“While we have worked hard to minimize infection in our communities, we are still dealing with isolated outbreaks,” Pat Banta, BSN/MA, regional director of Health Services for Chelsea Senior Living, said in the statement. “Our partners at CCS Healthcare provide the monoclonal antibody infusion with expert monitoring during and after the infusion at the assisted living community to residents who have confirmed COVID-19 infection and who fit the criteria for therapy. It reduces the likelihood of developing severe illness requiring the need for hospitalization, can provide short term immunity and reduces the risk of infection transmission.”

Chelsea residents and staff are currently receiving the COVID vaccination at the company’s 21 residences in New Jersey and New York. However, screening, testing, masking and social distancing will continue into 2021.

Princeton Community Housing Eddie Glaude

Y

es, Eddie Glaude Jr. is an internationally renowned scholar, who speaks to the complex social, racial and economic dynamics of the American experience.

Yes, Dr. Glaude is a professor and chair of the African American Studies Department at Princeton University.

Yes, he is the author of several critically acclaimed books, the most recent “Begin Again: James Baldwin’s America and Its Urgent Lessons for Our Own,” released on June 30, 2020.

Yes, he is a political commentator on MSNBC with a worldwide pulpit.

No, “It does not follow,” said Dr. Glaude, that, even with these credentials, he “has all the answers” as to how to fix the devastation wreaked by American racism.

I was one of 123 people who had the honor of listening to Dr. Glaude speak at a Feb. 24 virtual Princeton Community Housing (PCH) event, raising money for PCH’s pandemic rental assistance program. The occasion featured Dr. Glaude in conversation with Rev. Lukata Mjumbe, PCH board member, veteran grassroots community organizer, public policy advocate, interfaith leader and community pastor at the Princeton Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church.

What Dr. Glaude does have, however, is a remarkable way of getting people to l think about – and face – the truth of the e American experience, expose the “big lie” d of American equality and justice for all w(which has not been for all), and inspire us to do better.

- The answers, he told Rev. Mjumbe, have to come from the people living and working in the community. Princetonians -may think that their community is a “cosnmopolitan liberal space” that is without yracism and treats everyone the same re-gardless of their economic status or skin color. That is part of the big lie. Princeton l

f . , y

s

has problems, which are evident by just walking down Witherspoon Street and through the John Witherspoon neighborhood.

Rev. Mjumbe, who in 2013 studied under Dr. Glaude, when Dr. Glaude was teaching at the Princeton Theological Seminary, asked his mentor for guidance as to what ordinary citizens in the community can do to make a difference.

Reiterating that he did not have all the answers, Dr. Glaude suggested we all could start with an attitude adjustment achieved by: learning about the community’s racial history (the good, the bad and the ugly); listening to people outside of one’s social bubble; dropping the paternalistic “we know what is best for the downtrodden” mindset; and most importantly adopting an “infrastructure of caring” around health, housing, education and employment.

“Racial justice is not a philanthropic or charitable gesture; it is not yours to give, it is not a donation,” he said. It is something we all have to work at to achieve.

Although many in Princeton might feel uncomfortable with Dr. Glaude’s unadorned critique of the town’s moral core, Princeton Community Housing’s advocates should feel good that they are living up to Dr. Glaude’s infrastructure of caring principles. It is the organization’s entire raison d’être. Its recent campaign to raise money for rental assistance for those fiscally devastated by the pandemic, exemplifies the infrastructure of caring. PCH doesn’t judge or preach – it listens and acts. And the best endorsement of its mission came when Dr. Glaude, who spoke at the benefit without a fee, then also made a substantial gift to PCH. “He gave his time and then also pledged generously,” said PCH Executive Director Ed Truscelli.

Dr. Glaude and Rev. Mjumbe concluded the evening by joking how Feb. 24 was a very busy day for both of them.

Dr. Eddie Glaude Jr., left, and the Rev. Lukata Mjumbe

Dr. Glaude made eight presentations, Rev. Mjumbe six – their popularity driven by the fact that February is Black History Month. For me, Dr. Glaude’s and Rev. Mjumbe’s words of wisdom are for every month, every day – and ideally should serve as a daily vitamin providing the energy and perseverance to move forward in the right direction.

PCH provides, manages and advocates for affordable housing in Princeton.

It will be possible to purchase a signed copy of Eddie Glaude Jr.’s book “Begin Again” until March 14. To purchase the book and/or make a donation – all proceeds go to the PCH COVID-19 Emergency Rent Relief Fund – visit www.pchhomes.org/

Under the hood, the new E450 sedan

has been upgraded with an electrified 3.0 liter inline 6 cylinder engine that is now integrated with an electric generator called EQ Boost – that includes a 48-volt on board electrical system.

The result of this new engine and EQ boost system gives the E450 an impressive 362 horsepower.

Overall, I found the new E450 comfortable to drive. It’s roomy and luxurious. The car drives silky smooth, capable of being driven conservatively in and out of everyday traffic. At the same time, if you are feeling a bit frisky, you can select the “sports plus” drive mode and this car will compete with the best of them in sporty and aggressive driving.

Moreover, Mercedes tried and true 4matic system – automatic 4-wheel drive – also makes this sedan quite capable in inclement weather.

On one Saturday during my test week, I drove this E450 from Maple Shade to Wayne, New Jersey, in a driving rain and wind storm. It handled the treachery on the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway quite well and I felt very confident navigating it in inclement weather.

The MBUX interior communications system, incorporated into the operation of the 12.3-inch screen, can be a bit overwhelming at first, but once you learn the ins and outs of how to use the sensitive touch pad on the center console and to use the proper voice commands, it all works quite well.

One of the new features of the new communication system is an Alexis-like system where by you can – just by saying “Hi Mercedes” – ask the car what the weather forecast is or to find you nearby restaurants among other amazing things. The car actually talks to you.

On my trip to Wayne, I wanted to stop nearby after the sports trading card show I attended, and get some Cuban food. All I had to say was: “Hi Mercedes, find me some Cuban restaurants nearby.”

It responded by offering up a comprehensive list of nearby restaurants featuring Cuban cuisine superimposed on my navigation screen. All I had to do was select one and I was on my way.

Of course, all of this amazingness and luxury doesn’t come cheap. But, I am going to assume that if one is considering purchasing or leasing an E-Class sedan, they have

the wherewithal to afford it.

My 2021 E-450 4matic Sedan had a base price of $62,000. With added options and destination and delivery, it carried a bottom line sticker price of $81,950.

The long laundry list of options added to my tester included (but wasn’t limited to): $2,300 for the premium package; $1,950 for the driver assist package; $1,900 for the air body control air suspension system; $1,620 for upgraded black leather; $1,300 for design black Piano lacquer interior trim; $1,320 for massaging mulit-contour front seats and $1,000 for 19-inch AMG twin spoke wheels.

Of course you can save a few dollars by cutting back on the options.

The E-class sedan is also offered up in the less expensive E350 model, featuring a four cylinder turbo charged engine. The base E350 rear wheel drive sedan carries a base price of $54,250, while the base price of the E350 4matic is offered at $56,750.

The EPA fuel consumption ratings for the E450 4matic come in at an average of 26 miles per gallon – 30 on the highway and 23 in city driving.

The new E450 4matic was not crash test rated yet under the government’s 5 star safety ratings.

Student draws from own Native American background, spotlights Trail of Tears in musical tribute to lives lost, experiences suffered

By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer

The Trail of Tears is a dark chapter of American history and Barron Brothers, through his original music composition, is hoping to spark conversation on the tragic event.

The junior at Hopewell Valley Central High School (HVCHS) worked to achieve this with a written original music composition that earned him a finalist position in the NJ Music Educators Association Young Composers Competition Contest.

“When I got the email that I was one of the finalists, I was in my bed sleeping kind of late and saw the email on my phone. I definitely was awake after reading the email and it was certainly unexpected that I was a finalist,” Brothers said.

Even though Brothers did not win the grand finalist title on Jan. 30, he hopes the written piece and the performance of it brings the Trail of Tears to the forefront of people’s minds.

“This piece is really important to me. The Trail of Tears is not talked about as much as it really should be,” he said.

“I hoped that when I was composing this piece that this would really inspire people and hopefully get a conversation going on what really happened.”

According to the National Park Service and U.S. State Department, the Trail of Tears was a result of Congress passing the Indian Removal Act in 1830 and treaties. The act required the various Native American tribes (Choctaws, Cherokee, Muscogee Creeks, Seminoles, and Chickasaws) in the southeastern part of the United States to give up their own land in exchange for federal territory west of the Mississippi River.

The Trail of Tears specifically relates to the removal of the Cherokee Nation. More than 4,000 Cherokee deaths are estimated to have occurred during the forced relocation by federal troops and Georgia state militia. The loss of life in the camps and along the trail were from cholera, smallpox, influenza, pneumonia, starvation, exposure and broken hearts, according to a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2007 Historical and Interpretation study final report.

Brothers has Choctaw heritage from his paternal side of the family that reaches all the way back to his great-greatgreat grandfather. His heritage was the first inspiration for the piece that would evolved into current tribute to the Native Americans during the Trail of Tears. The piece took three weeks to pull together.

“The piece starts out as a solo melody, but then as the piece progresses on the melodies start getting more complex and eventually there is a quicker section that has more movement to it,” he said. “That increased movement in the piece I wanted that to represent the physical walking that the Native Americans had to endure during the Trail of Tears.”

Brothers added that he wanted to try to represent the experience from the Native American perspective rather than a Western perspective.

“What I really wanted to communicate is how they were feeling when they walked the Trail of Tears. Another aspect that I incorporated was actually some shouting in a selected selection. That I wanted to represent was the anger the Native Americans had while walking the Trail of Tears,” he said. “Also, the lyrics I chose are from a Choctaw spiritual called Sun Tracks. In doing some research in Choctaw spirituality the sun represents in general hope and life.”

ORDINANCE 2021-02

Barron Brothers earned a finalist position with original composition tribute to the Trail of Tears.

An Ordinance titled, Amending Chapter 143-32, Schedule III "No Stopping or Standing" of The Code of the Township of Hillsborough, County of Somerset, State of New Jersey.”

Brothers also wanted to incorporate that Native Americans felt they were walking toward the hope that things would improve.

“Unfortunately, they did not,” he said. “What I want people to do after listening to this piece is talk to each other.

I want this piece to invoke conversation, so that the tragic event of the Trail of Tears does not go as unspoken, and so a genocidal event like that does not happen again. I want to help people recognize that stuff like this can happen on our soil and not just in some foreign country and we need to actively prevent it.”

HVCHS music teacher and Band Director David Schwartzer added he thought Brothers’s piece was not only fantastic, but a testament to his talent and skill.

“He is really talented kid. I guided him very little. Barron has been composing from a very long time, so when he came to me with his draft he was pretty far along in the process,” Schwartzer said. “When looking at Barron’s composition there is a different degree of technical skills involved.

To write a choral piece, a band piece or piano piece and put it down on paper requires a level of training that Barron has and [he has] a strong fundamental knowledge about how music works and its structure.”

Schwartzer points to that piece’s connection to an emotional place, where people can relate or feel emotion.

“He had a really strong connection and meaning he was bringing to the piece and if you are able to listen to it and hear the piece I think you can feel that. I think that is the extra sauce that makes this special,” he said. “He has always had a knack for his chord choice selection and developing chord progressions that draw the listener in. Aside from that he takes you on journey, where there is a set and climax and leading us through the piece, so our emotions push and pull a little bit.”

Hun School student runs newspaper from China For most Hun School students, by 9 p.m their homework is complete and students are beginning to wind down for the night, but for Kathy Wang, Class of 2021, a fully-virtual student attending classes from Beijing, China, the school day is just beginning.

After dinner, Kathy logs on to Zoom to attend the first three class blocks and while her fellow classmates are eating lunch, she is tiptoeing around her kitchen looking for a midnight snack.

By 3 a.m., her school day is over and her extracurricular activities have just begun.

On top of taking a full course load, Kathy is the editorin-chief of “The Mall,” the Princeton school’s newspaper, as well as “The Hun Review,” the school’s literary publication.

Throughout the last year, she has maintained both leadership positions despite operating eight hours ahead of her classmates at The Hun School. Kathy works tirelessly editing articles and communicating with staff writers for the two publications.

“I send all of my emails at three in the morning because for my peers, it’s late afternoon, so I feel like they are much more likely to see my emails then as opposed to me sending them during my day which is the middle of the night for them,” she said.

While “The Mall” has traditionally been a print publication, Kathy knew that while the school was operating virtually and she was in a different time zone, she had to come up with an alternative plan to reach her audience. With a little help, Kathy was able to revamp “The Mall’s” website and begin creating online issues.

“We used to print an issue every couple of months, but now since we post our publications on ‘The Mall’s’ website, we are able to work much faster and for the first time in a long time, we are on track to reach our goal of six publications a year. We’ve found that online publications are actually much more efficient and our readers love it more.”

Because Kathy is running the Hun School’s newspaper from the other side of the world, she notes that it is often a struggle to know exactly what’s happening on campus.

“A lot of the times, events at Hun are happening when I’m asleep, so I make it a priority of mine to stay on top of the school’s calendar, daily bulletin, and I follow all Hunrelated Instagram accounts and check them regularly,” she said.

Throughout her time as a virtual student, Kathy has incorporated a new system for staff writers to follow so all club members can stay on task. Every few weeks, a Zoom meeting is scheduled for Kathy and her writers to brainstorm story ideas. Once Kathy has a good sense of what

Kathy Wang, a fully-virtual student attending classes at The Hun School in Princeton, runs the school’s newspaper and literary publication from China.

articles she wants to cover, she then sends out a detailed signup sheet where all participants can pick the articles they want to write and edit.

“If this experience has taught me anything, it’s taught me that I have to stay on top of all of my obligations and there is no room for procrastination,” she said. “Sending emails to my peers is the most time-consuming part of the whole process, but it’s the most crucial since it’s actually my only way to communicate with people who are on campus.”

Kathy notes while this year has been filled with many sleepless nights, she wouldn’t want it any other way.

“I believe this pandemic has made me a better person,” she said. “I never thought taking classes in the middle of the night and running a newspaper from China was something that I could do, but I had no choice when the time came, and I did it, and I’m a better person because of this experience.”

As Kathy prepares for graduation, she notes that the lessons she learned throughout this experience will stay with her long after high school. Next year, she will attend Brown University where she plans to study English and literary art.

Kathy notes that participating in the Brown “Daily Herald” newspaper is a must for her.

And for the future of “The Mall,” Kathy hopes that future club members continue to create a balance between print and online issues.

“We learned that we can do it online, and when school goes back to operating normally, we can print issues too,” she said. “In the future, we can use the online issue as a way to keep community members informed on current events and print issues can be focused more on larger, more timeless pieces.”

• This article was submitted by The Hun School of Princeton.

Although the church use is permitted in the R zone as a conditional use and is considered an “inherently beneficial” use under the Municipal Land Use Law, the application necessitates a d(3) conditional use variance variances for the deficient existing lot width (195ʼ proposed vs. 200ʼ required), and impervious coverage (15.87% proposed vs. 15% permitted).

D(1) use variances will be needed for use of the residential dwelling/meeting center in conjunction with the separate house of worship under Section 188-74 A (no lot shall contain more than one principal building), Section 188-74 B (no lot shall contain more than one principal use), and Section 188-74 C (no building shall contain more than one principal use). Waivers are requested for (1) parking spaces size (10ʼ x 18ʼ proposed vs. 10ʼ x 20ʼ required), (2) access aisle width (24ʼ proposed vs. 30ʼ required); and, (3) conservation buffer on east side of the site (13ʼ proposed vs. 30ʼ required), which is due to secondary/emergency access lane.

The Township has required notice pursuant to the Municipal Land Use Law. We hereby provide said notice that we have made application to the Hillsborough Township Board of Adjustment for an approval to permit the conditions outlined above and any such other variances, waivers or other relief as determined by the Board and their professionals not mentioned herein and the application is more technically described in the site plan documents on file with the municipality. The details of the proposal are more particularly described in the Application and Plans on file with the Board.

Any person or persons affected by said project will have an opportunity to be heard at the Public Hearing on the application to be held on Wednesday, March 17, 2021 at 7:00 p.m.

NEWLY BUILT WITH UNMATCHED AMENITIES

The Townhomes at Riverwalk - Unmatched amenities and an incredible location set this new construction project apart from ANY active adult communities built in the region!

Located on campus and down the street from the renowned Penn Medicine Princeton Healthcare, the new community is just minutes from Downtown Princeton, Princeton Junction Train Station, major roadways, as well as shopping, dining, museums, and theaters. In addition to the area’s pristine parks and recreation, the healthcare campus features a direct connection to a newly developed 32-acre park, numerous walking trails and access to the Millstone River.

The development features 45 upscale townhomes abutting to Ovation at Riverwalk – a dream come true for anyone looking for a club which has it all, including a SHUTTLE! Steakhouse? You got it! 4-Season indoor pool? Of course! Even a golf simulator, test kitchen, art studio, fitness & yoga retreats are all part of the exclusive membership offered to the residents of the Townhomes at Riverwalk community.

Built by MVB Development Group, the homes feature open floor plans with tons of natural light, exquisite details and use of the finest materials. The versatile plans also offer an extensive list of upgrades and options to fit any lifestyle and taste, including an ELEVATOR! All of the models have 3 spacious bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and a 2-car garage.

Although this active adult community focuses on independent living and provides every possibility for residents to enjoy something new and exciting every day, having immediate access to a medical facility and care is also a big plus, especially during these uncertain times.

“Having access to a world-class medical facility has many benefits related to health, especially if one person in the family is in need of more regular care for whatever reason,” Ned Moore, a managing member of MVB Development Group, said in a recent press release. “But in the event that regular care is needed, having access to this kind of care so conveniently reduces the burden on everyone in obtaining the necessary care and makes for an overall better living experience.”

The Townhomes at Riverwalk really has it all – gorgeous interiors, unparalleled amenities and close proximity to culture, which allow for an independent and abundant lifestyle, yet with direct access to medical care if there is a need which offers a peace of mind to someone of any age!

You would not want to miss this unique opportunity! Call me for a private showing of the elegant models which the Townhomes at Riverwalk has to offer!
