Route 206 Doctor’s Way to Valley Road project breaks ground By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer
The one-mile stretch on Route 206 from Doctor’s Way to Valley Road is “up to bat” for expansion, as Gov. Phil Murphy stated at the groundbreaking ceremony of the project on April 27 in Hillsborough. Route 206 will be widened into four lanes between Doctor’s Way and Valley Road and brings Hillsborough Township and the surrounding communities one step closer to finishing up the entire Route 206 bypass. The $41 million federally funded project will help enhance safety and ease traffic congestion for residents and travelers of Route 206 and is slated to be finished by the summer of 2024. New traffic lights, a median barrier and jughandles are all part of the Route 206 road-widening project between Doctor’s Way and Valley Road, which will be done in three phases and mostly worked on at night to impact less residents. These fixtures will eliminate left turns to and from properties located along Route 206 and will direct turns onto newly signalized intersections and jughandles.

From left to right: Congressman Tom Malinowski, Hillsborough Township Maypr Shawn Lipani, Gov. Phil Murphy, New Jersey Department of Transportation Commissioner Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti and Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker break ground to start the Route 206 project on April 27 in Hillsborough.
“The widening project has been our focus not just for a couple of years but for decades,” said Hillsborough Township Mayor Shawn Lipiani at the ceremony. “I look forward to the completion of the entire project which will bring immediate relief to Hills-
borough and our residents.” Deputy Mayor Frank DelCore, Committeewoman Janine Erickson, Committeeman Doug Tomson and Committeeman Jeffrey Wright were all in attendance for the groundbreaking ceremony. Somerset County Commissioner
Director Shanel Robinson was also on hand for the event. To begin the festivities, Murphy commended local officials for their efforts to make the Route 206 infrastructure project possible to provide residents with a “strong and resilient future,” even
calling Hillsborough one of the state’s “gemstone communities.” “The old 206 was not up to the task,” Murphy said. “A twolane highway is not going to cut it in the 21st century. Over the past decade, through both federal and state funding, the New Jersey Department of Transportation has been undertaking a vicious project to alleviate the congestion on this roadway to make travel not only efficient but safer. “This work will also allow the township to grow in a way that allows it to keep the neighborhood feel that is the reason why so many new families have chosen to call Hillsborough home,” he said. State government officials who attended included New Jersey Department of Transportation Commissioner Diane GutierrezScaccetti, New Jersey Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker and New Jersey Congressman Tom Malinowski. During her speech, GutierrezScaccetti spoke about how the project will make Route 206 safer to drive on for the over 30,000 vehicles that are said to travel on the highway per day.

Steve Kalafer remembered as ‘chairman, father-figure and friend’ By LEA KAHN Staff Writer
SUBSCRIBE 856-779-3800 ext 3022
An entrepreneur, a genuine “people person,” a philanthropist and a dedicated baseball fan – that’s how friends and associates described Steve Kalafer. Kalafer, who owned a string of car dealerships and who launched the Somerset Patriots – a DoubleA affiliate of the New York Yankees baseball team – died of cancer on April 21. He was 71 years old. Kalafer, who was born in Essex County and who grew up in North Caldwell, graduated from Rider University in 1971. He bought his first auto dealership when he was 26 years old, and grew it into a string of car dealerships – Flemington Car and Truck Country, Clinton Honda and Jaguar Land Rover Princeton. Bob Zito, whose public relations firm represented Kalafer and his business interests, wrote in an email that Kalafer had a knack for making very person feel important. He loved people. “It was stunning to me when I would be with Steve that he would remember people, names and places like very few people can. I have actually worked with two people in more than 40 years
of work who had the ability to do that,” Zito said. “His love of people – of his family, his extended family, his employees, of the arts and baseball – had a way of galvanizing everyone he met. Steve was remarkable. “My daughter got a text from one of her friends. He had met Steve when he was 12 years old, and Steve told him to visit him when he was ready to buy his first
car. The young guy did, and he said in the text that ‘(Steve) did give me a great deal,’ “That was Steve,” Zito said. Kalafer was also involved in philanthropy, including supporting Somerset County food banks, Somerset County Commissioner Director Shanel Robinson said in a release. “Steve has been a vital member of the Somerset County com-
munity for decades as a businessman, an advocate for health care and the arts, and primarily as an extremely generous benefactor and friend,” Robinson said. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Kalafer ensured that the county’s food banks were filled during the holidays and also pushed for advanced medical services at RWJ Somerset Hospital in Somerville, Robinson said.
Kalafer was also a lifelong baseball fan who loved the New York Yankees, according to a release from the Somerset Patriots. He founded the baseball team more than 20 years ago and was its chairman emeritus, according to a release from the Somerset Patriots. Kalafer’s love of baseball can be traced to the games he attended See STEVE KALAFER, Page 7A
Army veteran named Hillsborough grand marshal Hillsborough resident Thomas Cellilli, Jr., a U.S. Army veteran, has been named Hillsborough Township’s grand marshal for 2021. “Mr. Cellilli was to have been the grand marshal in 2020, when Memorial Day festivities were cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions,” Lipani said in the statement. “We are pleased to now honor him in 2021.” Cellilli was born in Ludlow, Massachusetts, and along with Philomena, his wife of 52 years, is a 40-year Hillsborough resident. They have two sons, four grandsons, two granddaughters and a great granddaughter. Cellilli enlisted in the Army during the Vietnam Conflict and com-

The first undergraduate co-ed class arrived at Princeton University in the fall of 1969. In celebration of this milestone in 2019, the Program in Theater facilitated journalistic research by three generations of Princeton women – current students, professional artist alumnae, and the first generation of graduating women – to culminate in a theatrical event exploring the experiences of women at the University. Students were paired with professional artist alumnae to research and create new, short performances about women who graduated from Princeton in the first few years of co-education at Princeton. The process, led by Program in Theater Director Jane Cox and Lecturer in Theater and Princeton alumna Suzanne Agins ’97 working with student-alumnae pairs, culminates in this filmed archive of the work in collaboration with theater and visual arts alumna Milan Eldridge ’20. Free and available to the public. The film is closed captioned.

Consequences of Obesity Are More Than Cosmetic
D
id you know that more than 1 in 3 adults in the United States struggle with obesity, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC)? And while many view obesity as a cosmetic issue, the consequences are far greater. In fact, obesity is classified as a disease because of the adverse medical effects it has on your body, including increasing your risk for heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers. Fortunately, however, treating obesity can often stop its progression, lower your risk for other complications, and in many cases, even reverse the damage to your health. A Variety of Causes The old thinking that a lack of willpower is to blame for obesity is no longer considered valid. Science shows that obesity stems from a variety of causes including genetics, diet, inactivity, hormone problems, and certain medications. Additionally, studies have found that lack of quality sleep can contribute to being overweight or obese. Further, being overweight or obese can cause hormonal and other chemical changes in your body that contribute to the disease and make it difficult to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. In other words, losing weight is often not as simple as pushing yourself away from the dinner table and hitting the gym. Serious Health Complications Weight that is higher than what is considered a healthy weight for a given height is characterized as overweight or obese. Doctors typically use body mass index (BMI) as a screening tool to measure if someone is overweight or obese. BMI is defined as weight in kilograms divided by
THE STATE WE’RE IN
height in meters squared. A BMI that is between 18.5 and less than 25 is considered normal. A BMI between 25 and less than 30 falls within the overweight range, and a BMI over 30 is considered obese. Obesity is associated with many of the leading causes of death and increases an individual’s risk for serious health conditions including: • High blood pressure • High cholesterol • Type 2 diabetes • Heart disease • Stroke • Osteoarthritis • Fatty liver disease • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) • Sleep apnea • Some cancers (endometrial, breast, colon, kidney, gallbladder, and liver) • Mental health disorders (depression and anxiety) Most recently, a CDC study released in March 2021 found that being overweight or obese also increased the risk for severe illness from the COVID-19 virus. Researchers suspect that chronic inflammation typically associated with obesity may disrupt the immune response to the virus and that excess weight may impair lung function. Food Logging and Other Tips Weight loss and weight management involve many factors, including diet, exercise and other lifestyle changes. The following tips can help support your weight loss journey: • Log your food (without judgment). Logging everything you eat and drink each day can help provide a better understanding of your overall diet and identify patterns and areas where there are opportunities to improve. Try

ew Jersey has long been known as the Garden State and keeping this title in the face of sprawl development is tough. Now the COVID-19 pandemic has indirectly added a new threat to this state we’re in’s nickname. Even before COVID-19, brick and mortar malls and shopping centers were in decline. But consumers in lockdown from the coronavirus found themselves shopping online for almost every item under the sun, available for home delivery. With this huge surge in e-commerce came the need for more warehouses and fulfillment centers to store, sort and distribute goods – and a lot more trucks to make deliveries. New Jersey is now in the midst of a warehouse construction tidal wave. The Port of New Jersey and New York is the nation’s second busiest. Giant container ships arrive regularly in Newark, Elizabeth and Bayonne, laden with goods to supply much of the East Coast. Everything in those shipping containers is going someplace. A spate of poorly sited warehouses are being proposed on productive farmland, environmentally sensitive areas and sites near residential neighborhoods. Aside from the loss of farmland and natural areas, the warehouses generate noise, traffic and air pollution from trucks. Here are just a few examples of warehouse projects around the state: • Upper Freehold Township, Monmouth County – A community group called the No Warehouse on 524 Coalition is opposing a plan to build a 566,840-square-foot warehouse on 118 acres of farmland along Route 524 — a project that would require a change in zoning. (Editor’s note: The applicant that proposed the warehouse in Upper Freehold Township withdrew the application
The Historic
Cranbury Inn Restaurant A Mother's Letter My Dearest Family, I want to thank all of you for the lovely time shared at the Cranbury Inn Restaurant on Mother's Day, May 9, 2021. Your choice of such a beautiful Inn with its early American charm and ambiance, located in historic Cranbury was perfect! All of our food was beautifully presented and the service was excellent. I personally have never had such a wonderful selection of entrees, that includes filet mignon, rack of lamb, and duck. Your Aunt Alice said the Inn’s dinner (2pm - 6pm) was superb and the staff and management as usual were attentive to our every need. This day will always be remembered. Thank you again for your love! Love, Mom P.S. Your dad’s American Express card made it through one more time.

not to judge what you log. • Track your steps. Start tracking your steps each day and rather than setting a goal you might not achieve, simply aim to increase your step count each week. If you walked 500 steps each day this week, try adding 100 more a day next week. • Step on the scale. Weighing yourself regularly – at least once a week – is important to catching any weight gain and reversing it before it adds up. • Set realistic expectations. As long as the number on the scale is going down, even if it is just by a half a pound a week or every two weeks, you’re losing weight. • Avoid negative self-talk. Losing weight is hard. Do not beat yourself up over a bad choice. Instead, show yourself understanding, stay motivated and get yourself back on track. Because of the hormonal and other chemical changes associated with obesity, many people who are obese need medical treatment to help jump start their weight loss and address related health conditions. At the Center for Bariatric Surgery & Metabolic Medicine at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center, a team of weight loss specialists helps patients find a weight-loss strategy that meets their own unique needs, including surgical options such as gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy.

from municipal consideration on April 16). • Jackson, Ocean County – Several environmental groups came out against a proposal to build warehouses as part of the Adventure Crossing USA mixed use development project on Route 537. The warehouse component would require clearing 72 acres of forest; opponents say it will generate truck traffic on the edge of a residential area and increase runoff into the Barnegat Bay watershed. • Robbinsville, Mercer County – Birders are objecting to a proposal to build two warehouses on a 90-acre property that attracts migratory birds, possibly including threatened and endangered species. The land, partly developed for offices, includes woods, fields and wetlands. If threatened and endangered birds are documented, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection could potentially halt the project. • Hamilton Township, Mercer County – Eleven projects totaling more than 2.6 million square feet of warehouse space have already been approved, built or are under construction; and another three projects totaling 875,000 square feet are pending before the Planning Board or the Zoning Board of Adjustment. A group called Stop Hamilton Township Overdevelopment is circulating an online petition asking local officials to keep the township from becoming a “warehouse hub.” • White Township, Warren County – Fearing the impacts of proposals for millions of square feet of warehouses, the township wants to significantly reduce the amount of development permitted in industrial zones. A proposed zoning amendment would cut maximum lot coverage from 35% to 5%. A group called Citizens for Sustainable Development, backed by the New Jersey Highlands Coalition, is rallying public support for limiting new warehouses. • Roxbury Township, Morris County – The Township Committee proposes to limit the size of warehouses in industrial districts, saying the move is necessary “to avoid excessive truck traffic on local roads and adverse effects on existing stressed intersections as well as on residential neighborhoods and the residential character of the township.” • Oldmans Township, Salem County – A 366-acre project, with 3.9 million square feet of warehouse space in seven buildings, has been proposed on farmland off Interstate 295. A zoning change would be required from the township. Julia Somers, executive director of the New Jersey Highlands Coalition, said many municipalities zoned land for “light industrial” uses decades ago to avoid residential development that could add more children to public school systems and increase affordable housing obligations. As a result, many of the recent warehouse proposals conform with local zoning standards and towns are struggling to respond. One solution to controlling warehouse sprawl may lie in adopting a regional approach and plan to identify appropriate locations for the structures. And equally important would be a method to quantify the need for warehouse space so New Jersey does not end up with multiple empty and abandoned warehouses a few years from now. Tim Evans, director of research for the nonprofit New Jersey Future, argued in a recent paper, “Warehouse Sprawl: Plan Now or Suffer the Consequences,” that decisions over warehouse siting should not be left solely in the hands of municipal governments. “A regional perspective is needed,” Evans wrote, “to make sure port-oriented storage and distribution functions
are not consuming outlying lands that are better used for farming, recreation, or some other non-industrial use, and that redevelopment opportunities near the port that are ideal for warehousing are not instead allocated to some other land use that lacks the same location constraints.” Somers “absolutely” agrees with the regional approach, both in the Highlands and elsewhere in the state. A regional approach would allow officials to consider larger impacts: Can existing roads handle the traffic? Would noise, traffic and air pollution affect residential neighborhoods? Can warehouse development be steered away from the most important lands, like prime farmland and forests? Somers pointed out that in response to numerous warehouse proposals, Warren County officials conducted a traffic study last fall on the cumulative impact. “If all were built, the impact would be dramatic,” she said. Route 519, currently a two-lane county road, “would have to become a four-lane highway.” Regional land use planning works well in New Jersey, with two successful examples in the Pinelands and Highlands. And New Jersey has a statewide land use plan that could address this issue. The State Plan has been largely dormant since its adoption in 2001, but should be revived and updated to address warehouse sprawl and other current challenges like solar facility siting and climate change.

Gutierrez-Scaccetti also announced that later this spring the 3.6-mile Route 206 bypass from Old Somerville Road to Mountain View Road will be open to traffic. Lipani added afterward that he looks forward to celebrating the opening of the new bypass, scheduled to occur this June. “The Route 206 Doctor’s Way to Valley Road project is just a piece of a much larger investment that the NJDOT has made to improve the quality of life here in Hillsborough,” Gutierrez-Scaccetti said. “It will tie into the Route 206-Hillsborough bypass which will be open to traffic this spring.” Malinowski, who is the representative for the seventh district, said the Route 206 project was long overdue, mentioning that he was always told growing up in the Princeton area as a teenager to always “avoid 206 when you can.” “This is a huge step forward thanks to a governor who has made reversing New Jersey’s infrastructure deficit a top priority and thanks to our efforts to claw back those tax dollars that New Jerseyans send Washington every single year,” Malinowski said about the Route 206 project. The Route 206 widening project’s contractor is a Bedminster-based construction company Konkus Construction, which is owned by Hillsborough native Keith Konkus. Lipani recognized Konkus’ roots in Hillsborough during his speech, saying Konkus is a “shining star of success from the town” and welcomed the contractor back to the community.

The Historical Society of Princeton (HSP) will present its first-ever virtual house tour from May 15 through June 15. This signature event will feature on-demand, multimedia content for participants to navigate at their leisure throughout the entire month. For 18 years, HSP has offered the house tour, central New Jersey’s premier history, architecture, and design event, which showcases the stewardship of significant, privately owned houses in Princeton, according to information provided by HSP. This year, the virtual tour will feature four unique homes, each a distinct example of its own time and style, according to the statement. Every house will offer an in-depth portal where participants can dive into videos and descriptive details room by room, including spotlights on the house’s history, distinctive furnishings and artwork, remodels and restorations, and architectural features. Interviews with designers, architects and artisans will shed light on the decisionmaking and painstaking work involved in preserving and updating a historic home. A new house will be released each week during the month when the tour is live, starting on May 15. Once released, houses will remain available through June 15. This year’s virtual house tour will feature: 2 Boudinot Street: Princeton builderarchitect Charles Steadman likely built this Federal/Italianate-style house in the 1850s at the corner of Nassau Street and University Place. As Princeton University and the town expanded, the house was moved twice before landing at its current location. House moving was a common practice in Princeton in the early 19th and 20th centuries, and nearly 200 buildings were moved during this period. Once home to Princeton University Pro-
fessor Christian Gauss, mentor to F. Scott Fitzgerald, the house has been completely renovated and restored by the current owners, creating a new sunlit kitchen and master suite, while also restoring period details, like intricate metal knobs and hinges, pocket doors, marble fireplaces, and gas lighting petcocks. Creative décor and furnishings include a salvaged armoire used as a bar and pops of wallpaper. New landscaping and stone hardscaping surrounding the house create a charming, Charleston-inspired retreat for the homeowners. 20 Boudinot Street: This English manor style house was originally built in 1924 for the family of Charles Erdman, mayor of Princeton Borough and an influential supporter of many local institutions. The current owners, only the third family to own the home, undertook stylish updates throughout the house and completed renovations that enhance the flow for a 21st century family. They converted a garage into a dining room, installed a new kitchen, and merged bedrooms to create a master suite with a sitting room and his/hers dressing rooms. Third floor servants’ quarters were combined to create a unique bedroom with custom cabinetry and closets built into the original dormered ceiling. The house exudes storybook charm, and original details like moldings, French doors and the 1920s doorbell remain. Incorporated throughout the house are pieces of Asian art and furnishings from the family’s time living in Hong Kong. Outside, a picturesque loggia leads into the garden where the original garage doors, complete with Roebling hardware, form a focal point. 8 Evelyn Place: This semi-detached home is steeped in Princeton’s women’s history. Dubbed “The Pines,” the sprawling Victorian was once home to Evelyn
College for Women, the first women’s college in New Jersey, founded in 1887. Later, Princeton’s first female mayor of Princeton, Barbara Boggs Sigmund, lived there until her death following a battle with cancer. The current owners undertook major restoration work and modernized the interior to allow for an open kitchen gathering space, a spacious master suite, and a third-floor recreation space with expansive views of Princeton. The renovation also added historic details like large-scale double doors, a striking Japanese porcelain tile fireplace, clawfoot tubs and original wood floors. The overhauled front and back yards create a number of unique spaces for outdoor lounging with plantings and urns salvaged from the New York Botanical Garden, where the homeowner’s grandfather was a landscaper. 600 Pretty Brook Road: A specimen of Princeton’s early colonial history, “The Bouwerie” was the homestead for a Dutch farming family. Among other distinctive details, the original 1770 house features a remarkably well-preserved large hearth fireplace with beehive oven, hand-hewn beams, half-timberwork, and a “Jersey winder” staircase. The 19th century dining room showcases a Delft tile fireplace. The current owners completed a addition to the original structure in 1991, which quadrupled the square footage. In the addition, reclaimed wood meticulously matches the original wide plank floors. The new kitchen continues the historic farmhouse aesthetic, including an Aga cast-iron range and a breakfast nook enclosed with handmade wooden animal moldings. A stained glass skylight graces the new foyer and skillful trompe l’oeil painting of floors and walls is an element throughout.
Outside, the expansive property includes large patios, a pond, and an infinity pool that falls into a grand English knot garden. “The virtual format is so exciting because it allows us to bring visitors closer than ever to the stunning details of each of these wonderful properties, and to provide insights from experts that truly enrich the experience,” HSP Executive Director Izzy Kasdin said in the statement. “Princeton’s architectural heritage is extraordinarily special, and we are so pleased to be able to recognize homeowners who carefully steward this legacy. This year’s collection of houses is really not to be missed.” Tickets for the event start at $20 per screen. Login credentials will be shared with ticket buyers on May 15. For tickets purchased after May 15, purchasers receive their login within two business days. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.princetonhistory.org or call 609-921-6748, ext. 100. Proceeds help fund the Historical Society’s core history education activities throughout the year, including collections stewardship, exhibitions, public programs, and co-curricular support for schools. Lead sponsors Baxter Construction and Callaway Henderson Sotheby’s International Realty support this event. To maintain safety and privacy, in-person visits to the featured houses are strictly prohibited.
Founded in 1938, The Historical Society of Princeton is a museum and research center dedicated to interpreting the history of Princeton. HSP’s headquarters, Updike Farmstead, is listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places and lies within the Princeton Battlefield/Stony Brook Historic District.

The 2021 Cadillac brand has morphed technologies.” I recently jumped behind the wheel of into something a lot more performance and technology oriented than what it once the 2021 Cadillac CT5 V-series for one week to see where this fairly new offering was. The new Escalade is a technological stands among its competition in this segwonder, featuring one of the world’s most ment. advanced infotainment screens. The problem is this segment of the
sports sedan market features some stiff competition – namely the BMW 3 series, Mercedes C class and the Audi A-5. The folks at Car and Driver said: “When compared with its rivals the CT5 doesn’t have the sharpest reflexes or the poshest cabin, but its handsome styling helps it stand out from the crowd.” In this case the CT5’s main rivals are all German imports. So, does the CT5 Vseries drive like a German import with its stick-to-the-road handling? Absolutely not. The CT5 V-series has its own personality. Overall, I would say that the CT5 Vseries is a good-looking sports sedan with plenty of Wow! factor. It is fast enough to make it an exciting ride and luxurious enough to impress. Personally, I found it to be comfortable in the fit category, albeit I could have used a tad more leg room. Its interior ergonomics are good and its infotainment system works well and isn’t confusing to use. Here’s the rub with the CT5 V series. It doesn’t handle like a German import performance sports sedan. What I mean by that is that in the ride and handling department you get a much
different feel than a 3 series BMW or a C class Mercedes. The BMW and C Class give you a tight handling ride you can take through some hairpin turns at high speeds in confidence, and like most European cars, you feel the road under you a bit more. If you harken back to Springsteen’s vision, the DNA of the Cadillac just isn’t the same. If you are looking for that Euro sports car feel then the CT5 V-series just may not be for you. But, if you are more comfortable with a bit of a softer, more pillowy ride that still gives you some power pizzaz, then the CT5 may just be the ride for you. The all wheel drive CT5 V-series sedan I drove carries a base sticker price of $47,795. With added options and $995 for destination and delivery the bottom line sticker price on my tester came in at $65,445. Added options included: $6,290 for the Platinum Package; $5,290 for the Premium Package; $2,000 for the all wheel drive; $1,950 for driver assist and advanced security; $635 for Satin Steel metallic paint and $500 for the driver awareness plus package. The Platinum Package includes: an ultraview sunroof; leather seats and a parking package. The Premium Package includes: lighting package; navigation and Bose premium; climate package and a technology package. The EPA fuel consumption rating for this model comes in at 21 miles per gallon overall – 26 mpg in highway driving and 18 mpg in city driving. The EPA estimates that it will cost about $2,300 a year in fuel expenditures to run that CT5 as it uses about 4.8 gallons of gas per every 100 miles you drive it. In the government’s 5-star safety ratings it did not get an overall score yet or a score for the frontal crash test. It received 5 stars for the rollover test and 5 stars for the side crash test. Later this year, Cadillac will introduce the “Super Cruise” feature for the CT5 V series. It will be the world’s first true hands free driver assistance feature.

End gun violence As we all continue our struggle to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s important to keep in mind another public health crisis that continues to take American lives every single day: gun violence. The Wear Orange campaign was created in 2015 to bring attention to the critical issue of gun violence across our country and the need to make our communities safer for our families and ourselves. National Gun Violence Awareness Day is June 4. The movement grew after the death of 15-year old Hadiya Pendleton, who was shot and killed in Chicago just one week after performing at President Barack Obama’s second inaugural parade in 2013. Why orange? It’s the safety color hunters wear to tell others, “I’m a human, not a target.” After Hadiya’s death, the Wear Orange initiative grew exponentially into what it is

at Yankee Stadium with his father, Milton Kalafer, and that he continued with his sons, Jonathan and Josh and their families, the release said. Somerset Patriots President/General Manager Patrick McVerry said the team was “completely heartbroken” when they learned of Kalafer’s death. The Somerset Patriots were fortunate to have such a wonderful chairman, father-figure and friend, McVerry said in a release. “He built his dealerships and this team from the ground up with the customers, employees, his family and the communities serve always as his top priorities. Everything we have is because of his tireless efforts. “He taught us all the value of doing things the right way, of taking time to build long-lasting relationships and making a difference where you can. To say that he will be missed is an understatement,” McVerry said.
Somerset Patriots Manager Emeritus Sparky Lyle agreed, and said that Kalafer treated everyone like family and made those he met feel like they were most important person in the world. “From the first day I met him, I loved him. I learned so much about the right way to do things in life and how to conduct yourself in business. Every time I set foot in the ballpark, I will think of him with an unbelievable amount of love, respect and appreciation,” Lyle said in a release. “He was the Somerset Patriots.” Kalafer served on many boards and committees, including the New Jersey Business & Industry Association. He also was the chairman and founder of Princeton/American Communications and the Healthcare Information Network, and chairman and founding investor of Phamagistics, which is a healthcare/pharmaceutical company.

It has also driven around 150 million additional people into extreme poverty, which means millions more children will be malnourished and permanently harmed. By providing sufficient resources in next year’s budget, Congress could strengthen education and healthcare systems globally and save countless lives. In addition to substantial appropriations to fight COVID-19, robust funding towards TB control, global education, and global nutrition is needed to save lives and truly demonstrate America’s global leadership. I call on Senators Cory Booker and Bob Menendez, and my Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman, to be bold in taking on the devastating pandemics sweeping the world.

Massive efforts to develop new vaccines and put them in people’s arms are protecting more and more Americans from the COVID pandemic. However, many countries around the world, increasingly overwhelmed by COVID-19, simply do not have the resources to fight it, at least on their own. In fact, this is not the only pandemic they face. Americans might be surprised that the deadliest infection in much of the world is still tuberculosis (TB). Between 2015 and 2019, TB infection dropped by 9% and deaths decreased by 14%. But now, as funding and medical personnel are diverted to fight the newest pandemic, over a decade of progress against TB, especially drug-resistant variants, is slipping away. True, this is not a disease that greatly affects privileged populations in the global north —not currently anyway. But does that justify neglecting millions of lives that could be saved if Congress has the political will to fund such a vital, longterm global health priority? The same goes for pandemic effects on education and hunger. Research indicates that COVID-19 has set back the education

Hillsborough Township Parks and Recreation Department receives three NJRPA awards The Hillsborough Township’s Parks and Recreation Department was recognized at the annual 2021 New Jersey Recreation and Parks Association (NJRPA) conference. The NJRPA awards were held in February to identify dedicated leaders, employees and volunteers in the field of parks and recreation and recognize the state’s outstanding park and recreation agencies for excellence in programming, publicity and facility design, according to information provided by the township. Honored under the Excellence in Programming category, Hillsborough Township Parks and Recreation won the Health and Wellness Programming Award for their spring COVID campaign, their virtual Clue game and their 88.5K virtual run. The team also earned the Gregory A. Marshall Parks & Historic Resource
Award for their Go Green for Halloween costume exchange program that was held at the municipal building last fall, and the Agency Showcase Award for their “COVID 6-Feet” summer camp signs. “It was very nice for the team to be recognized for their hard work and creativity in an unprecedented year,” said Bob Wagner, Hillsborough’s director of Parks and Recreation, said in the statement. “Each member stepped into unknown territory to make sure our programs and activities continued to run and meet the needs of our residents in a very challenging year. I thank Griffin, Jessicia, Russell and Annette for a job well done and congratulate each of them.” For information on the Hillsborough Township Parks and Recreation spring programs, visit hillsboroughnjrecreation. org or call 908-369-4832.

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!
