Six members of the Hisborough High School wrestling team recorded a pin in the team’s 54-15 road victory over Skyland Conference rival Montgomery High School on March 23 to improve to 2-2 on the season. Having a shorthanded lineup going into the bout against the Cougars, Hillsborough wrestling Coach Roy Dragon was impressed with how his wrestlers competed on the mat to win the match. “We won a lot of matches in the third period,” said Dragon on the victory. “We stress pushing the pace and scoring late points. In a short season, it’s hard to get into shape, but the kids have done a good job on their own and in the room to start the season and that showed in our win (tonight).” Hillsborough took the first two matches by decision to gain an early 6-0 lead. 126-pounder Alex Villa rallied back from a 4-0 deficit in the second bout of the night for the Raiders.
REGIONAL INTEREST
Villa racked up four points in the third period to force overtime and then scored a takedown in the first overtime period on Montgomery’s Josiah Vardman to win the match by a 6-4 decision. Hillsborough won three out of the next four bouts by pinfall, watching Ryan Oram (132), Peter Quandt (152), and Joseph Witcoski (160) all pin their opponents to the mat to go up 24-6. Witcoski is one Hillsborough wrestler that Dragon believes has a good shot to make it into the super region tournament this year as does 126-pounder Cole Psemeneki, who went 30-4 last season. 106-pounder Christopher Spinelli is another wrestler that Dragon has been very impressed by this season and believes has a shot at regions and the state tournament. Spinelli wrestled at 113 pounds during the match against Montgomery and pinned his opponent in 39 seconds. Hillsborough got backto-back pins by 182-pounder Daniel Guerrero-Nieto and
195-pounder Jack Miller. Guerrero-Nieto got a headlock on Montgomery’s Elhadji Diara right from the get-go and scored a pin in 43 seconds for the victory. As a senior, GuerreroNieto knows that every match he gets this season is a “blessing” and that he is treasuring every moment he gets on the mat. “So much stuff is unpredictable nowadays and any match can be your last,” Guerrero-Nieto said. “I treasure every moment on the mat and every moment in practice.” Miller came out on top in a tough battle against Sean Golubitsky at 195. Starting on bottom to begin the third period, Miller was able to pull a reversal on Golubitsky and drive his shoulders to the mat for his second pin of the season. “It felt pretty good to push through the adversity and get the win,” Miller said. “I didn’t wrestle my best match, but I feel it was good that I was able to come back and win.” Colin Mandell (106) and Ryan Nussbaum (285)
won each of their matches by forfeit for the Raiders. 120-pounder Brett Lockburner hung on for a 10-7 decision for Hillsborough in the first match of the night. Before the start of the dual meet, Montgomery honored senior Alex Abrahamsen with a Senior Night tribute. Abrahamsen would win his bout at 170 pounds for the Cougars via an injury forfeit after Hillsborough’s Luke Donnadio dislocated his left elbow during the second pe-
riod of the match. Shabbir Ali (145) won by forfeit for Montgomery, while 220-pounder Andre Soumeillant continued his nice start to the season for the Cougars with a 5-2 decision over Christian Quandt to improve to 3-1 on the season. The loss to Hillsborough drops Montgomery’s record to 0-4 to begin the season. Both Hillsborough and Montgomery are scheduled to return to action on March 25. Wanting his wrestlers
to get as many matches as they can before the end of the regular season, Dragon keeps telling his guys every day to “control what they can control” on and off the mat to give themselves the best chance to wrestle. “This season is all about getting the kids matches to give them some sense of normalcy and letting them go out there and compete,” Dragon said. “We want to get as many matches as we can. We want all the kids to have individual success.”

Teens across the state can begin submitting entries for the 26th Annual New Jersey Teen Media Contest, which highlights the New Jersey Human Services’ mission to support families, especially during these challenging times. The contest, run by the Division of Family Development, is open to all New Jersey middle and high school-aged children. The 2021 contest challenges teens to illustrate – through art or the written word – how they and their loved ones have supported each other through all of the changes that have happened this year, from remote schooling to finding new ways to stay connected to friends and family. All entries must be postmarked no later than March 31. Staff from the Division of Family Development and its Office of Child Support Services will judge the contest. Winners will be selected in first, second, and third places in both the middle and high school groups, for each of the two entry categories. Typically, winning students are recognized at an awards ceremony in mid-May, but a final decision on an awards ceremony will be made at a later date based on the status of the public health emergency and related health and safety guidelines. Winning entries from the contest will be included in the 2022 Office of Child Support Calendar, as well as potentially being included as part of the office’s marketing materials. A number of honorable mention entries will also be selected for possible inclusion in both areas. The 2021 calendar can be viewed or downloaded from the contest homepage, www.NJTeenMedia.org, to serve as inspiration for the teens. The website also provides the official rules, frequently asked questions, entry forms, a look at the winners and honorable mentions from previous contests and other important contest information. Teachers and administrators can register their school by visiting www.NJTeenMedia. org or by contacting Matthew Cossel at 937207-7627 or matthew.cossel@efkgroup.com. School registration is not required for direct student entry. For complete submission guidelines, visit www.NJTeenMedia.org.

Hillsborough is joining towns across the country for the 10th anniversary of the National Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation by asking residents to make a longterm commitment to manage water resources more wisely. The annual challenge, from April 1-30, is a non-profit national community service campaign that encourages leaders to inspire their residents to make a series of simple pledges at mywaterpledge.com to use water more efficiently, reduce pollution and save energy, according to the statement. To participate, residents go to mywaterpledge.com, and then make a series of online pledges to conserve water on behalf of Hillsborough. Cities with the highest percentage of residents who take the challenge in their population category have a chance to win $3,000 toward their home utility bills, and hundreds more eco-friendly prizes. In addition, residents can nominate a deserving charity from their city to receive a 2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. The foundation has also created a new digital tool called MyVolunteer Water Project, in support of the program, that gives residents a unique way to do hands-on home, community, and workplace projects year-round in support of their city’s sustainability efforts.

LOOSE ENDS
Climate Initiative
F
riday, March 19, the windy day before the arrival of spring, blew me away when I had the good fortune to bump into a climate strike in Princeton’s Hinds Plaza. Late in the afternoon, I found myself in the midst of a dozen masked young people, chanting “Our Planet/Our future, Our Water/Our Future, Our Air/ Our Future” and carrying signs about loving, sustaining and saving our planet. Earth Day on April 22 was four weeks away – so what were these youngsters doing? They were “striking” to make the point that every day ought to be Earth Day – the celebration and nurturing of the earth should be ongoing. These teenagers apparently took to heart the wisdom of Princeton’s well known social justice and community activist Albert Hinds, whose words are inscribed on the plaza’s gates: “It Is Always the Right Time To Do the Right Thing.” Princeton High School (PHS) junior Harmonie Ramsden organized the Princeton Youth Climate Week Strike (PYCW) and other advocacy activities with the help of her “team” that included PHS adult advisors Ken Kurtzig, Meredith Soden and James Smirk; along with students Yaw Asante, Aurora Yuan, Jane Bennett, Neha Viswanathan, Abby Walden, Joycelyn Brobbey and Amy Colhoun. The climate change advocacy initiative, conceived by Harmonie, was actually a 10-day festival that

and work toward the healthy, just, and resilient future they want to thrive in.” Since launching in 2011, PGC has built a movement of young leaders, engaging 145,032 students directly and tens of millions indirectly on 9,700+ campuses, in 50 states and 188 countries. The movement invites and inspires youth to join together to change the world. The seed for Harmonie’s environmental activism, however, was planted about three years ago when she and her family lived in Davidson, North Carolina, a suburb of Charlotte. With a population of about 13,000 people and often cited as one of the best places to live in North Carolina, Davidson inspired Harmonie to fight a development project that she felt would ruin one of Davidson’s best assets – open
ran from March 11-21 . “The PYCW festival aimed to help youth find an outlet for their creativity and climate frustrations through a multifaceted approach that targets the interests of our generation. We will be the ones to resolve the current crisis of environment degradation—this is a precursor to future environmental advocacy,” said Harmonie, who noted that the other activities included a virtual advocacy strike, sewing reusable masks, letter writing campaign, tree planting and a session on environmental journalism. The project grew from an honor that Harmonie received a few months ago. She was selected last October as one of only 16 finalists in the international Project Green Challenge (PGC). PGC participants are “challenged to envision

pond. We found out that the mayor was supporting a plan to turn the wooded area, a favorite recreational site for my family and friends, into a hotel,” Harmonie said. With help from her younger sister Keegan – 18 months younger – and two other friends, plus support from her parents, Harmonie launched a campaign to protest the hotel plans. She made her position known by attending town hall meetings and hosting lemonade stands, with the lemonade sales financing her campaign. “We spread the word, the mayor was voted out of office in the next election, and the hotel project was stopped completely,” she said. When the family moved to Princeton, Harmonie found her new home town to be fertile turf for environmental and local government activism, and the high school embraced Harmonie’s activism and supported her save-the-planet initiative. She assured me that her environmental advocacy efforts are no passing fancy. “No matter what I study or what path I take as far as a career, I always will be an environmental activist,” she said in acknowledgement of the fact that what good is an interesting profession or joyful lifestyle, if there were no earth in which to enjoy it? Several of the sign’s slogans that I saw during the strike struck chords with me as being perfect for getting a message to stick. What I stand for is what I stand on. Respect existence or expect resistance. Be part of the solution, not the pollution. Like the oceans, we rise. The Earth should not be hotter than Danny DeVito. My slogan would say: Go Harmonie, With A Bit of Dissonance, You are Making Beautiful Music.

Taking Control of Your Pelvic Health
n the United States, millions of people in all age groups are affected by a pelvic floor disorder that disrupts their daily life, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). And unfortunately many people live with the symptoms for months – or even years – before seeking treatment. However, once diagnosed, pelvic floor disorders are often able to be managed or reversed with treatment, including physical therapy. If you have pelvic pain or are concerned about bladder or bowel control, you may have a pelvic floor disorder. The Center for Pelvic Wellness at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center offers highly specialized treatments for people age 7 and older affected by pelvic floor disorders. Signs and Symptoms The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that form a sling or hammock across the pelvis. Together with the surrounding tissues, these muscles hold the pelvic organs in place. The pelvic organs include the bladder, urethra, intestines and rectum. In women, they also include the uterus, cervix and vagina. A pelvic floor disorder typically occurs when the muscles or connective tissues of the pelvic area are weakened or injured, causing symptoms such as: • Hesitancy with starting to urinate or emptying the bladder • Frequent urges to urinate or urinary tract infections • Leaking urine when sneezing, coughing, laughing or exercising • Pain when urinating • Leaking stool or difficulty controlling gas • Constipation • Seeing or feeling a bulge or heaviness from the vagina • Pain in the pelvis, hip, abdomen, thigh or lower back • Erectile dysfunction • Pain with intercourse Although all genders may be affected, women are particularly vulnerable to pelvic floor disorders. In addition, children can also experience pelvic floor disorders. Common signs of a pelvic floor disorder in chil-
THE STATE WE’RE IN
dren include constipation and bed-wetting. Causes According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the main cause of pelvic floor disorders is pregnancy and vaginal childbirth. Other causes, according to ACOG and the NIH, include: • Conditions that put pressure on the abdomen. These include being overweight or obese, chronic constipation or chronic straining to have a bowel movement, heavy lifting, chronic coughing from smoking or health problems. • Getting older. The pelvic floor muscles can weaken with age and with menopause. • Having weaker tissues. Some people are born with conditions that affect the strength of the connective tissues that make up the pelvic floor. • Surgery. Previous hysterectomy and prior pelvic floor surgery are associated with higher risks of pelvic floor disorders. • Race. Certain groups of women, such as White or Latina women, appear to be a higher risk for some pelvic floor disorders. Just as the muscles in the rest of your body can become tight, so can the muscles in your pelvic floor, which can lead to pain and dysfunction. Anxiety, stress, poor posture and the way you breathe can all also affect your pelvic floor. Treatment If you experience signs of a pelvic floor disorder, talk to your doctor. Treatment can help relieve symptoms and enable you to take back control. At the Center for Pelvic Wellness, with locations in Plainsboro and Monroe, treatment includes a comprehensive exam, fluid and dietary education, pelvic floor physical therapy and collaboration with physicians for other treatment options including medication and surgery. Physical therapy for pelvic floor disorders can help people regain awareness, control, and coordination of their pelvic floor muscles. Therapy typically involves exercises to stretch and strengthen the pelvic floor and core muscles along with tools like biofeedback, real time ultrasound, lasers, and
electrical stimulation to make you more aware of the correct way to use your pelvic floor muscles. Physical therapists may also teach you breathing techniques to support the pelvic floor and work with you to identify and correct postural problems. In addition, as part of its ongoing community education programming, Princeton Health Community Wellness offers health, fitness, and pelvic health education for adults and children. Prevention Pelvic floor disorders may not be entirely preventable, but there are steps you can take to improve your pelvic function and stay healthy. • Exercise. Staying physically active can help you maintain a healthy weight and take pressure off your pelvic floor. Exercises that focus on contracting, relaxing, and elongating your pelvic muscles are also beneficial. • Avoid caffeinated drinks and alcohol, which tend to stimulate the bladder. • Eat a well balanced diet, rich in fruits and vegetables. Increasing the amount of fiber in your diet and staying hydrated may help relieve constipation. • Practice mindfulness. Being mindful of your posture, your breathing, and your stress levels can help support your pelvic health. Breathing exercises can also help relax your mind and body, and have a positive effect on the pelvic floor muscles. Most important, don’t ignore signs of a pelvic floor disorder in the hope they’ll go away on their own. By seeking treatment early, you can regain function and control so that you can return to the activities that you enjoy.

Amphibians on the move!
T
he days are longer and warmer, an unmistakable cue to New Jersey’s hibernating amphibians – frogs, salamanders and toads – that it’s time to leave their winter hideaways and start mating. The first warm, rainy nights of spring produce a frenzy of amphibian activity, as spotted salamanders, Jefferson salamanders, wood frogs and spring peepers emerge from below ground and head straight to vernal pools to breed. It’s not a long way – perhaps a few hundred yards – but it can be dangerous for the amphibians, according to David Wheeler, executive director of the nonprofit Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey. “For them, it’s a journey after being stationary all winter. They’re just waking up, so to speak.” Not only are amphibians operating at less than full strength, in many cases they must cross busy roadways. “New Jersey is the most densely populated state, so we have roads bisecting their winter areas and vernal pools,” Wheeler said. With the help of volunteers, the Conserve Wildlife Foundation for nearly 20 years has played “amphibian crossing guard” at key locations in Warren and Sussex counties, slowing or stopping traffic to make sure the critters don’t get run over. Last year, the amphibian migration was already underway when COVID-19 forced the Conserve Wildlife Foundation to cut back its amphibian crossing program. This year, Wheeler said, the program will continue, but with a reduced number of volunteers who will wear masks and keep a safe distance apart. The exact date the amphibians start moving is unpredict-
able: It can be as early as February if the winter is mild, or as late as April if the ground is still partly frozen or covered with snow. A rainy or misty night with temperatures in the mid-40s or above is ideal. Darkness and rain help the amphibians move without being detected by predators like owls and raccoons. At the peak, hundreds or even thousands of amphibians will move simultaneously toward the same pool. The full migration usually takes place over the course of three to six nights – not necessarily consecutive – with perfect weather conditions. Amphibians breed in vernal pools, also known as intermittent or ephemeral ponds, to achieve the best survival odds for their eggs and tadpoles. Vernal pools dry up each summer, so they don’t support fish that would otherwise eat up all the eggs and larvae. The word “vernal” means “of, in, or appropriate to spring.” Vernal pools get their water from snowmelt, rain and rising groundwater, so they’re at their fullest in spring. New Jersey has an estimated 3,000 to 5,000 vernal pools, and most should have plenty of water this spring because of February’s record-breaking snows. Want to see this amazing natural spectacle? The best place to go is Beekman Road in East Brunswick, which is closed to traffic on peak amphibian migration nights. The East Brunswick Environmental Commission encourages members of the public to come out to watch and take photos as salamanders and frogs cross the road to get to their vernal pools.

tening for the amazing sounds of a frog chorus in wetlands near you. What might you hear? One of the earliest frogs to sing is the Northern spring peeper. This tiny woodland frog is known for the males’ mating call—a high-pitched whistling or peeping sound repeated rapidly. The faster and louder male peepers sing, the better their chances of finding a mate. Peepers congregate near water and often sing in trios, with the deepest-voiced frog starting the call. “To me, the peepers are like the official start of spring,” Wheeler said. A female peeper heeding the male’s call will lay 750 to 1,200 eggs, which are fertilized as they are laid. Eggs hatch within two days to two weeks, depending on temperature, and the tadpoles transform into frogs over six to 12 weeks. Wood frogs also begin breeding in early spring and can be found in the same vernal pools as peepers. Male wood frogs sound like ducks with their quack-like calls day and night to attract mates. Females lay masses of 1,000 to 3,000 eggs, which are fertilized by the males and will hatch between nine and 30 days later. For decades, experts thought New Jersey had only 15 native frog and toad species. Then, in 2011, the green treefrog – a species whose range is currently expanding in the U.S. – was added to the list. The next year brought even bigger news – the discovery of an entirely “new” species, the Atlantic Coast leopard frog. The Atlantic Coast leopard frog had likely been living in the wetlands and ponds of New Jersey, New York and other states for thousands of years. Since the 1930s, it was suspected to be distinct from other leopard frog species. But it wasn’t until the advent of modern DNA analysis that science proved it’s a unique species. The full New Jersey range of Atlantic Coast leopard frogs isn’t yet known, but the Conserve Wildlife Foundation is working to find out. For the last few years, they have surveyed various wetland locations for Atlantic Coast leopard frogs. “We have a number of locations highlighted for this year that haven’t been surveyed yet,” Wheeler said. “It’s exciting.” Don’t miss the opportunity to explore and enjoy this spring’s amphibian migration! And urge your local elected officials to protect vernal pools. New Jerseyans might be surprised to learn that our state’s vernal pools have little protection and can often be filled, except in certain parts of the Highlands and Pinelands. Two decades ago, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection tried to adopt rules to protect vernal ponds statewide but was rebuffed by litigation from the NJ Builders Association.

Grover Cleveland’s birthday commemorated in the Princeton Cemetery On a damp and chilly day, a handful of soldiers from the U.S. Army Reserve’s 99th Readiness Division, along with Princeton Mayor Mark Freda, gathered to lay a wreath at the grave of former U.S. President Grover Cleveland in the Princeton Cemetery. The annual ceremony was held March 18, on what would have been Cleveland’s 184th birthday. Cleveland is the only president to have served two non-consecutive terms; the Democrat served from 1884-88 and from 1892-96. Cleveland settled in Princeton after he left the White House in 1897. He purchased Westland at 15 Hodge Road and became involved in town matters. He became a trustee of Princeton University. He died in 1908 of a heart attack. The wreath-laying ceremony, hosted by the U.S. Army Reserve’s 99th Readiness
Division, is managed by the White House Military Office. The White House Military Office is responsible for coordinating the annual placement of presidential wreaths at tombs and resting places of former presidents and other famous Americans, and at certain memorials of historic significance. Freda welcomed the small group. He said he was honored that Cleveland had chosen Princeton as his retirement home, and that it is an honor that the Princeton Cemetery was chosen as his final resting place. During the ceremony, musician/soldiers from the 78th Army Band, part of the 99th Readiness Division, played the national anthem and “Taps.” Maj. Gen. Mark Palzer, the 99th Readiness Division’s commanding general, said one of Cleveland’s greatest accomplishments was welcoming the placement of the Statue of Liberty in 1886, commemorating
the centennial of the United States of America. “During the dedication ceremony, President Cleveland said, ‘We will not forget that Liberty has made her home here, nor shall her chosen alter be neglected. Willing votaries will constantly keep alive its fires,’ ” Palzer said. Those “willing votaries” at the 2 millionplus Active, Guard and Reserve soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and government civilians, he said. The Statue of Liberty is a symbol that is

The Ghosts of Gettysburg When Jacob Alexander Sipe returned to Gettysburg to pay homage to his dead Civil War comrades, something strange happened to him. He heard the faint cries of the dead 40,000 men buried there and saw an apparition of a dead Union soldier cross before him. It was not the first time visitors heard the sounds and saw the ghost of a Union or Confederate soldier walking the battlefield. Many of his old Fourth Pennsylvania Cavalry buddies experienced the same thing. And nearly a century later, former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who had retired to Gettysburg, trusted a colleague not to tell anyone what he saw and heard. Jacob Sipe is my great-great-grandfather who entrusted this experience to my mother when she was only 10 years old. She used to ride with him in his horse and buggy and he told her they were going to Oklahoma. Shortly thereafter, Sipe, a farmer by trade, would pull up at his patch of land and both would retrieve strawberries, tomatoes and potatoes. Jacob had survived four years in the bloodiest war than all American wars combined. So many Union and Confederate soldiers were killed at Gettysburg that they were still finding them as late as 1996 when tourists discovered the remains of a young soldier. Of the 94,000 Union troops with my grandfather in the July 1-3 Gettysburg battle, 23,000 became casualties. Of the 73,000 Con-

inspirational, and that shows that the United States is worth fighting for, Palzer said. Americans, both civilian and military, fight for American ideals. America breeds patriotism, he said. “The Statue of Liberty will endure not just because of its physical presence, but because it evokes the spirit of freedom and liberty, which makes us Americans. May she forever hold her flame aloft,” Palzer said. • This article was provided by the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service.
federate troops, 28,000 were casualties. Thousands were buried on the battlefield in ad-hoc graves. In their haste to bury the dead, some critically wounded but unconscious soldiers, were mistakenly buried alive. Corpses were later exhumed and Union soldiers were reburied with honors in the National Park Cemetery. Over a decade later the remains of dead Confederates, often discovered in trenches with Union dead, were reburied in Richmond, Savannah and Charleston. When Jacob became 100 years old the New Castle News of Pennsylvania interviewed him. When asked if he had seen any military action “the old man straightened up and with a proud gleam in his eye said, ‘You bet I was. I was with General Phil Sheridan in the old Fourth Pennsylvania Cavalry and I served in every battle that General Phil was in. I was with him on the famous destructive ride south by General Phil. Every engagement he entered I was with him.”‘ When Jacob was born, George Washington was still fresh in the minds of Americans. Franklin, Jefferson, Adams, Hamilton, Monroe, Andrew Jackson, all of these men were still living or had been dead just a few years. He had seen America emerge as a struggling frontier country to the most powerful nation in the world. He saw the western frontier pushed to the Pacific Ocean. He saw the addition of Louisiana and many other states added to the nation. He saw America defeat Mexico, See GHOSTS, Page 7A

Following the release of first single “Together,” the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer presents his second single “I Come Back Stronger.” Continuing Byrd’s journey as a recovery troubadour, “I Come Back Stronger,” cowritten with Richie Supa, spreads a message of hope and resilience to those who struggle with addiction and substance abuse. “It’s about the lessons life puts in front of us at every turn,” Byrd said in a prepared statement. “Whether we are willing to learn from them is the big question. I believe we can learn way more from our failures than our successes. So in the words of Mr. [Frank] Sinatra … pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again.” As Byrd says, “with music and lyrics we press on and pass it on….” “Sobering Times” will be released on April 9 via BFD/The Orchard.

Ghosts Continued from Page 5A helped put down the Rebellion, and the first World War. The man had never seen an electric light, an airplane and any other modes of transportation except for his horse and buggy and canal boats propelled by mules, and many of the other conveniences we enjoy today. Jacob never forgot his Fourth Pennsylvania Cavalrymen or the ghosts of Gettysburg. He told a neighbor he felt that he would soon be joining them on the battlefield. The next day while still plowing his field, he suffered a stroke and died in his bed a day later at 104 years old. All of the newspapers called him the oldest working man in the United States, still plowing his field and hauling produce and bags of coal. Others reported him as the last Union veteran of the Civil War. The little great-grandchild he told of the
Ghosts of Gettysburg became my mother and she passed down to me his kepi hat with the insignia of “The Grand Army of the Republic” on it, his revolver, his two Cavalry sabers and the Civil War medal awarded him. I am also responsible for two books on the Fourth Pennsylvania Cavalry and Commander Emeritus of New Jersey’s Lincoln Camp of the “Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War.” Anthony Galli lives in Pennington. He has authored four books, including two on the Civil War exploits of his great-great-grandfather with his Fourth Pennsylvania Cavalry in Virginia and Gettysburg. He has worked for UPI, TIME magazine and Sports Illustrated with hundreds of his bylined articles appearing in magazines and newspapers across the country. He is a U.S. Navy veteran of World War II.

OBITUARY Anita M. Klein
NM-00451312
Hillsborough - Early in the morning, on Tuesday, March 16th, God reclaimed one of his most beloved gifts to the world. Anita M. Klein, (born: Anita Amiano), traveled peacefully, from her 55 year home, in Hillsborough, NJ, through Heaven’s gates to join her family with whom she shared an immeasurable amount of mutual love. Being the final survivor of her generation’s large loving family, I’m certain that they were all waiting with open arms welcoming her to paradise. Anita loved her family. Her eyes and heart would light up and fill with joy whenever she could spend time with those she loved. In her almost 97 years gracing this planet with her warmth, selfless generosity, creativity and energy, she was never blessed with children of her own, however, she enjoyed the endless abundant love and deepest affections of her many nephews, nieces, great nephews, great nieces, and even great-great nieces and nephews. (Who knew her lovingly as: “Auntie”). Because of her energetic youthful demeanor she could usually be found enjoying herself dining, dancing, teasing, and singing with the youngest of the bunch. A GREAT-GREAT nephew, (Owen), and two GREAT-GREAT nieces, (Eloise and Lilly), were most recently, also blessed with the opportunity to feel Auntie Anita’s love and embrace. Pictures of her unbridled joy while holding them are heartwarming, to say the very least. She was very proud to have been born in Newark, NJ, but lived the majority of her life in Hillsborough with her husband Russel, (who passed in April of 2008). She was a gifted and knowledgeable gardener, where she could be found toiling on most nice days. This was evidenced by the beautiful flowers that adorned her property and home. During her residence in Hillsborough, she was very active in the community. She was a wellrecognized, long time devout parishioner of Mary, Mother of God Church, and a member of their Rosarians. She also was a member of the Hillsborough Senior Club, and the Hillsborough Fire Department’s Women’s Auxiliary, and Volunteered for a variety of town activities. Friends and loved ones were welcomed for a final farewell on Monday March, 22nd, at the Hillsborough Funeral Home, 796 US Hwy 206, Hillsborough, NJ 08844, from 9 – 11am. A Mass of Christian Burial followed at 11:30am in the Mary Mother of God Church, 157 South Triangle Road, Hillsborough, NJ 08844. A burial was held at the New Cemetery, South Bridge Street, Somerville, NJ.

screen and a Bose 9 speaker sound system. One thing I really thought was a great new design feature for this Envision was how they positioned the 10-inch touch screen that literally controls all of the car’s functions. The front dash is designed such that the 10-inch touch screen protrudes out a bit and is angled toward the driver. This is a fantastic design concept that more car makers should embrace. It enables the driver to more easily see and interact with the touch screen without having to stretch your neck or hands around to touch or see the screen. In most cars these days, these screens, no matter how fancy or impressive, are still mounted flat into the dash and not angled towards the driver’s sight line. The design and layout of the screen in the Envision is truly awesome. It allows the driver to safely interact with the touch screen controls for navigation, phone, music or climate without having to take your eyes off of the road. I think this is a much safer system than provided for in most vehicles
these days. The Envision Essence I drove came equipped with a 2.0 liter, four-cylinder turbo charged engine that puts out 228 horsepower. This power plant is paired with a ninespeed transmission. I found the Essence model to be adequately powered and smooth. It won’t blow you away with its performance, but at the same time, it is more than capable in any traffic situation. There is a “mode” selector button located on the center console that enables the driver to select what type of driving style is preferred – sport, touring or eco. The sport mode gives the Envision a racier edge. For the most part, this car seemed to perform and prefer to be in the touring mode. I think the genetic makeup of this model is better suited for the more comfortable touring option. I must say, I logged quite a few highway miles in this Envision during the week I drove it and it is a very comfortable car to take on a long trip. It cruises smoothly and effortlessly under highway driving conditions. The EPA fuel ratings for the 2021 Envision are 26 miles per gallon overall – 31 mpg for highway driving and 24 mpg in city driving. The EPA estimates that the annual fuel cost for operating the Envision comes in at around a modest $1,550 per year. It uses 3.8 gallons of gas for every 100 miles driven. This model of the Envision has not been safety crash tested under the government’s 5-star safety ratings yet. The editors at Car and Driver gave the Envision high marks for having a stylish exterior, low price compared to its competitors and smooth ride. They also said its acceleration was disappointing and its driving dynamics were not up to snuff. If you are in the market for a compact SUV crossover, I would recommend considering the Envision. It may not overwhelm you at first, but it is a choice that checks off enough boxes all around to make it a worthy contender. Peter Perrotta’s On The Road column appears weekly.
