Hillsborough introduces ordinance to ban marijuana sales Hillsborough’s Township Committee introduced an ordinance prohibiting marijuana sales within the township. The ordinance, which was introduced at the committee meeting on April 27, prohibits cannabis establishments, delivery services and distributors from operating anywhere within the Township of Hillsborough, except for the delivery of cannabis and related supplies by a delivery service. “This ordinance will enable us to evaluate marijuana sales and
usage in other communities so we can make an informed judgement on how to approach the same in Hillsborough,” Mayor Shawn Lipani said in a prepared statement. “It is a quality of life issue intended to act in the best interest of Hillsborough residents, families, business owners and visitors to the township, in regard to health, safety and welfare.” On Feb. 22, Gov. Phil Murphy signed into law the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance, and Marketplace
Modernization Act, which legalizes the recreational use of marijuana by adults 21 years of age or older, and establishes a comprehensive regulatory and licensing scheme for commercial recreational (adult use) cannabis operations, use and possession. The law allows municipalities 180 days – until Aug. 21 – to take action to either prohibit or limit the number, location and operating hours of cannabis establishments, distributors, and delivery services. If municipalities do not take action
within 180 days, by default all six license classes of cannabis would be permitted to operate in the municipality in both commercial and industrial zones as a conditional use. Municipalities that pass an ordinance within 180 days to ban cannabis establishments or distributor operations can, at any time, reverse that decision and opt-in. However, once a municipality permits cannabis establishment or distributor operations in their community, the municipality may
not opt-out for 5 years. This ordinance in Hillsborough does not prohibit residents from partaking in cannabis usage on their own property, private club or as the law permits, but it will enable lawmakers to gather more information on how to best approach marijuana sales and usage in the community, according to the statement. The public is invited to discuss the proposed ordinance at the Township Committee meeting on May 25.
Duke Farms’ Sunday Farmers Market focuses on agroecology initiative By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer
SUBSCRIBE 856-779-3800 ext 3022
The sun came out just in time for the first day of the sixth annual Duke Farms’ Farmers Market on May 2. Thirty vendors from the local area set up on the nature preserve for local residents of Somerset County to come and shop for a variety of goods that ranged from fresh produce, meats, cheeses, and bread to honey, wine, soup and even pickles. Duke Farms Public Engagement Manager William Wilson and his six staff members working at the event were very happy to see many of their regulars and other folks support local businesses at the farmers market. “We’re happy to get a lot of people out shopping and seeing our regulars,” Wilson said. “They love seeing their local vendors. They’re really excited to get their local meats and cheeses and wines and fresh produce and everything else. People are happy to be outside again.” The farmers market will run every Sunday, rain or shine, from 10 a.m. through 2 p.m. from May 2 to Dec. 5. This will be the fourth year that Duke Farms is running its farmers market, and it is one of the biggest farmers markets in the county. According to Wilson, the farmers market is expected to see around 35-40 local vendors cycle in and out over the course of the eight months the market will be open.
STEVEN BASSIN/STAFF
Duke Farms had 30 vendors come for the first Sunday of its Farmers Market on May 2 in Hillsborough. The farmers market will run every Sunday through Dec. 5.
He added that Duke Farms has taken on more vendors after a local farmers market in Bridgwater recently closed. Duke Farms was able to hold its farmers market last year from June to December during the coronavirus pandemic to give local farms the opportunity to sell products to the public. “It’s more imperative than ever to support local businesses, especially the farms,” Wilson said. “For Duke Farms, our re-
sponsibility is to help as many businesses and farms as possible.” Like last year during the pandemic, Wilson said the farmers market will adhere to COVID-19 safety guidelines and added that people have said to him and his coworkers that they have always felt “safe” being at the farmers market. Due to COVID-19, the farmers market is the only event accessible to the public at Duke
Farms on Sundays to allow more capacity for vendors and people to shop and sell safely. Wilson said Duke Farms is planning on a separate section for the farmers market when the entire nature preserve is open to the public on Sundays, but that right now the “priority” for Sundays is supporting small businesses and its agroecology division. “We really want our Sundays to be focused on supporting lo-
cal businesses and our agroecology initiative here at Duke Farms,” Wilson said. The farmers market will be open on Mother’s Day. “We really want to support all these vendors out here,” Wilson said. “It’s hard work. They’re up before us picking produce and setting up. We’re just happy we can provide some support for them. Come out and support your local farmers markets. It’s important.”
Hillsborough’s music education program receives national recognition from NAMM Foundation Hillsborough Township Public Schools has been honored with the Best Communities for Music Education designation from The NAMM Foundation for its outstanding commitment to music education. Now in its 22nd year, the Best Communities for Music Education designation is awarded to districts that demonstrate outstanding achievement in efforts to provide music access and education to all students, according to information provided by the school district. To qualify for the Best Communities designation, the Hillsborough Township Public
Schools answered detailed questions about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program and community music-making programs. Responses were verified with school officials and reviewed by The Music Research Institute at the University of Kansas, according to the statement. “During the challenge of instructing students during the pandemic, our music education program connected students, lifted student and community spirits, and helped students gain an appreciation for and a deeper understanding of the positive power
of music in our lives,” Dr. Kim Feltre, assistant superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, said in the statement. “Being honored with the Best Communities for Music Education designation spotlights the innovation and creativity of our music teachers and directors and highlights how our music education program makes a difference.” Ellery Lambert-Smith, an eighth grade band student at Hillsborough Middle School, shared her thoughts on why music education is so important in school. “Music education in schools is critical because it provides students the opportunity to become

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) is inviting seventh- to 10th-grade girls to step into the world of science, technology engineering, and mathematics (STEM) at PPPL’s annual Young Women’s Conference on May 7. The free day of science from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. will be held on a virtual platform where young women can watch live and videotaped science demonstrations, talk to women working in STEM fields, and listen to an inspiring talk by a female scientist. The event is free and open to both teachers “bringing” groups of girls from schools and to individual seventh- to tenth-graders. The link to register is available on the Young Women’s Conference website here. The online conference, which is funded by the DOE Office of Science Fusion Energy Sciences program, will follow the format of live events, with girls making their way through booths, stopping to see a chemistry show by Kathryn Wagner, a lecturer, demonstrator and outreach director in chemistry at Princeton University, and talking to female scientists and engineers in breakout rooms, culminating with a keynote speech by a prominent female scientist. More than a dozen exhibitors will have displays at virtual “booths.” PPPL’s science education staff will present plasma demonstrations.

Hillsborough girls lacrosse triumphant on Senior Night
“We have 10 seniors that are all leaders and know what our expectations are on the attack,” Dunphey said. “We also have a great underclassmen group that is very athletic and very coachable. I think having those two grades together makes us unstoppable.” For Montgomery, junior Maddie Hogan scored a team-high two goals of the contest, while teammate Toni Chungunov recorded the only Cougars’ goal in the second half. The loss drops Montgomery to 2-2 on the season. The only two losses this season for the Cougars so far have come against Hillsborough. First-year Coach Joe Riccardi has been looking forward “all school year” to being on the field with his Montgomery squad and feels the team has the talent to be competitive in the Skyland Conference this season. “We have a great group of seniors and a great group of juniors,” Riccardi said. “The sophomores are awesome. I can’t ask for a better group to come into the season with. They’re a great group of kids.” Both Hillsborough and Montgomery are scheduled to be in action on May 6. Hillsborough will travel to play Phillipsburg High School, while Montgomery is slated to play against Bridgewater-Raritan High School.
By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer
Monday’s Senior Night contest against Montgomery High School at Dan A. Noonan Field in Hillsborough will be one that all 10 seniors on the Hillsborough High School girls lacrosse team will remember. That’s what senior Mia Boccippio said after Hillsborough rolled to a 12-3 victory over Montgomery on May 3, saying the contest was the “best” she thinks the team has played during her time as a Raider. “This was one of our best games,” Boccippio said about the victory. “We had a tough time in the beginning, but really kicked it up in the end and I am so happy for us.” Hillsborough improved its record to 5-2 on the season, controlling the final 26 minutes of play against Montgomery on the way to their second victory over the Cougars. Leading 4-2 with just 55 seconds left till halftime, sophomore Grace Toth gave the Raiders a boost going into halftime. Receiving a pass from teammate Erin McCrea, Toth cut to the net and knocked home her second goal of the contest to put Hillsborough up 5-2 at the half. “We knew we needed to score at that point,” Toth said. “I knew I had to make myself available to try to get a goal and help my team out.” Toth’s goal was the start of six unanswered scores by the Raiders that helped them ultimately outscore Montgomery 8-1 to finish out the contest. After Katie Sanfillippo found the back of the net to start things off for the Raiders in the second half, Boccippio got back in on the scoring frenzy following her two goals in the first half. Boccippio tallied the first hat trick of the night for Hillsborough, receiving a pass from Toth to notch her third goal of the game to make it 7-2. Toth joined Boccippio in the hat trick party moments later with her third goal of the night that extended the Hillsborough lead to 8-2. The hat trick gives Toth a team-leading 10 goals for the season. Her game-high three assists in the victory also give Toth a team-high nine dimes this spring. Her stats feel great but Toth is just happy to be playing lacrosse and helping her team win after missing out on her freshman

The Hillsborough High School girls lacrosse program honored all 10 of its senior players before its game against Montgomery High School on May 3 in Hillsborough. Hillsborough won the contest 12-3 to improve to 5-2 on the season.

campaign last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, she said. “I love to play lacrosse,” Toth said. “I didn’t get a freshman season, so to play with the seniors this year is amazing and I couldn’t be having more fun.” Right behind Toth in the scoring tally for Hillsborough is Boccippio with nine goals, five of which came in the victory on Senior Night. Boccippio racked up her fourth goal of the game following Toth’s hat trick to make the score 9-2. To finish off Senior Night in style, Boccippio slammed home her career-high fifth goal of the game in the final seconds off a great pass from fellow senior teammate Olivia Halverson. Scoring five goals on Senior Night had Boccippio feeling really excited after the
game, and she called the contest “her best game ever.” “I saw the clock winding down and I just put in the back of the net,” Boccippio said. “I know all 10 of us were excited to play and I’m just so happy we came out to get the win. We all played the best games of our lives and I am so proud of us.” Halverson tallied a goal in the victory to give her eight goals on the season for the Raiders. Senior Alexa Ciccarelli scored two goals for Hillsborough and now has four goals this spring. Hillsborough has scored 10 or more goals in each of its five victories this season. The scoring power the Raiders have is something Coach Kristina Dunphey believes can help her squad make a run at being one of the best teams in the Skyland Conference.

Cicadas will re-emerge in New Jersey during the spring
A
fter 17 years of socially distancing underground, billions of “magic” insects are about to come out for a party spreading across swaths of the northeastern United States, including New Jersey. If they Are in your neighborhood, it will get noisy. These flying insects, periodical cicadas of the genus Magicicada, are known for their bright red eyes and bulky bodies. They emerge every 13 or 17 years for a month of frenzied mating activity, punctuated by the males’ shrill, buzzing chorus. This year’s group is Brood X (10) and it is one of the largest of the 17-year cicada broods. They are just emerging in parts of 15 states, including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. But don’t fear. They don’t bite, sting, carry diseases or eat your plants. They are not poisonous, so don’t worry if your dog or cat munches on them. In many parts of the world people eat them, and they are said to taste like canned asparagus. Now’s your chance to enjoy them for the weird and wonderful phenomenon they are. Cicadas are considered beneficial because they aerate the ground, provide a banquet for birds and mammals, and contribute nutrients to the soil after they die. Periodical cicadas have been around for millions of years and were known to Native Americans before the arrival of the first Europeans. Pilgrims at Plymouth Colony spotted them in 1634 and mistook them for locusts, as in the Biblical plagues. Brood X was first reported in 1715 in Philadelphia, but may no longer appear in the city. If you are not a fan of bugs, you may be surprised to learn that periodical cicadas have a big following. There are cicada websites, cicada social media pages and even merchandise like T-shirts and coffee mugs. On the scientific side, you can track their progress, report sightings, and post photos and videos on apps like iNaturalist and Cicada Safari. Periodical cicadas should not be confused with annual cicadas, which appear later in the summer. The current members of Brood X hatched from eggs that were laid in tree branches in the summer of 2004. The hatchlings crawled down the trees, burrowed deep into the ground and have been there ever since, sucking fluid from
HEALTH MATTERS
tree roots and growing steadily When the ground gets warm enough, which is already happening in some New Jersey locations, the cicada nymphs tunnel their way out to become adults. They will climb the nearest trees and shed their exoskeletons. The veins in their wings will fill with fluid, their skin will harden and they will be ready to fly. The exoskeletons stay behind – crunchy, translucent shells clinging to tree trunks. To attract mates, males sing by flexing their tymbals – drum-like organs on either side of the abdomen. At the height of the mating season, their sound can be deafening. After mating, females cut open tender tree branches and deposit their eggs. Soon after, the adults die, having fulfilled their duties. A few weeks later, hatchlings will continue the cycle by burrowing into the earth, not to be seen again until 2038. Why do periodical cicadas come out only every 13 or 17 years, but in great numbers? Some scientists think the timing may be a natural defense mechanism. After all, it’s harder for predators to an-
ticipate a food source if it appears at infrequent intervals. And the sheer number of cicadas in the brood ensures there will be enough survivors to produce the next generation. Enjoy the fascinating cicada spectacle while it lasts. And know that by protecting New Jersey’s trees and forests, we can make sure Brood X has places to safely reemerge in 17 years. To learn more about periodical cicadas, go to the University of Connecticut website at https://cicadas.uconn. edu or www.cicadamania.com At the latter site, you will find fun facts, cicada history and even a cicada bingo game (one square says, “Saw a dog or a human eat a cicada”). To report cicada sightings in your area, download the iNaturalist or Cicada Safari apps to your smartphone. You can also check the iNaturalist and Cicada Safari websites to see where cicadas have been spotted near you.

Music Therapy Strikes the Right Note
W
hether you prefer silly love songs or like that old time rock ‘n’ roll, music has been proven to – in the words of singer Bob Seger – soothe the soul. In fact, music has such a powerful effect on mental health and well-being that it can help many people, from children to older adults, cope with mental health problems, including anxiety and depression. Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health offers group music therapy sessions as part of its inpatient and intensive outpatient programs for children, adolescents, adults and seniors. Gives Voice to Your Feelings As the American Music Therapy Association notes, music therapy uses musical interaction as a means of communication and expression for individuals with mental health concerns. Music therapy can involve playing an instrument, singing, listening to music or even exploring lyrics with the goal of giving a voice to individuals who may be having a difficult time processing information or expressing themselves. Research has shown that music therapy can help people: • Improve self-image and increase self-esteem • Decrease anxiety and stress • Increase verbalization • Enhance interpersonal relationships • Increase motivation • Provide a safe emotional outlet What’s more, you don’t need to know how to play an

instrument or have any musical background to participate in and benefit from music therapy. Helps in Healing Music therapists can be trained in a wide range of clinical skills, including communication, cognitive neuroscience, psychological disorders, as well as chronic illness and pain management. In addition to supporting you in expressing your feelings through music, a music therapist can help you explore ways to change how you’re feeling by listening to music. Several studies have shown, for example, that listening to soft, soothing sounds when you’re feeling angry or stressed can help reduce blood pressure and bring about feelings of calm. Music therapy can also help cultivate mindfulness and teach people how to stay present in the moment. Additionally, it can support people in evaluating their inner monologue and breaking free of negative self-talk. It can also help individuals break through rigidity and accept imperfection. Music therapy is especially beneficial for adolescents as they work through the trials and tribulations of the teenage years, creating a healing environment during a time of uncertainty. Pitch Perfect At Princeton House Behavioral Health, each music therapy session is tailored to the unique needs of the group on that specific day. Sessions usually begin with a mindfulnessbased activity, followed by a musical activity. A variety of instruments are available, from keyboard to xylophone, and a range of percussion instruments. Ukuleles and guitars are also available. However, music therapy is not about musical ability.

Whether you are an accomplished musician or are totally new to musical expression, the goal of music therapy is to meet in the middle and connect, to use the structure of the music to open up individually and as a group. Each session typically ends with a grounding exercise that pulls everything together. The process can help with: • Mood regulation • Stress tolerance • Impulse control • Cultivating positive relationships In addition to music therapy, Princeton House Behavioral Health also offers the following expressive therapies as part of its treatment programs: • Dance/movement • Art • Journaling • Relaxation and stress management
Create a Mental Health Playlist As “pandemic playlists” have become popular, mental health playlists can be particularly beneficial for those who are struggling. In the digital age, creating these playlists has become easier using music apps. When creating a playlist consider including songs that: • Feel supportive and grounding • Match your mood to help process emotions like sadness, anger,or happiness • Progress from matching a difficult emotion to a more desired emotional state Keep in mind that listening to a happy song when you’re angry might make you feel invalidated. However, if you are playing music that matches a difficult emotion, it is important to be mindful of your mood so you know when switching gears may help you achieve a more desired emotional state. In music, everything is important – the rhythm, the lyrics, the tone. It is the same with therapy. By using music therapeutically, you can experience how each piece fits together as a whole, and open up to expressing the emotions within.

By Pam Hersh
Andrea Goldsmith
A
ndrea Goldsmith’s resume is intimidating – so much so that I almost persuaded myself to tune out rather than tune into a Princeton University Center for Jewish Life virtual lecture that featured her as a speaker. Just like I try to exercise my body on a regular basis, I also try to stay in mental shape (particularly during these mindnumbing, brain-foggy pandemic times) by ingesting a regular diet of academic lectures. So I clicked into the Zoom lecture and prepared to feel inadequate. Dr. Goldsmith, who formerly was an electrical engineering professor at Stanford University, is the recently appointed Princeton University dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science. Her research interests are in information theory, communication theory, and signal processing, and their application to wireless communications, interconnected systems, and neuroscience. She has co-founded and served as chief technical officer for two wireless communications firms. She is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, two of the highest honors in U.S. academia. The author of the book “Wireless Communications” and co-author of the books “MIMO Wireless Communications” and “Principles of Cognitive Radio,” she is an inventor on 29 patents. She received the bachelor, master’s and doctorate degrees in electrical engineering from U.C. Berkeley. “Andrea Goldsmith brings tremendous expertise and leadership to Princeton,” said Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber. “She is a brilliant and creative scholar, a successful entrepreneur, and a strong advocate for diversity and inclusion in the academy and industry.” Even with my comparative mental flabbiness characterized by a research expertise in Cheetos and coffee, I still feel qualified to add a few more bullet points to Dean Goldsmith’s bio. I learned that in addition to all of her amazing professional accomplishments, Andrea is a down-to-earth, problemsolving, empathetic, thoughtful woman, the mother of two grown children (both embarking on engineering professions), daughter of a Holocaust survivor, and the wife of a San Francisco-based electrical engineer, who is the son of a holocaust survivor and grand nephew of Israel’s first Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion. But most impressively, Dr. Goldsmith, who merits a nonfiction biographical book rather than an 800-word column, is someone who believes her profession is as much art as it is science. She has been able to thrive professionally by never allowing herself to be intimated by the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated profession.
Andrea Goldsmith, dean of the Princeton University School of Engineering and Applied Science
In the lecture she gave a few weeks ago, she offered a glimpse of her educational and engineering philosophy and the factors in her life that brought her to where she is today. Even though both her parents were Jewish, she was raised in a very secular environment and never embraced the religion until she became an adult. “I attended my first Jewish holiday celebration – a Passover Seder – when I was 23 years old and my first Torah reading was in 2010 at my son’s Bar Mitzvah,” she said. But coming to Judaism as an adult, she feels she was better positioned to appreciate the value of some of the guiding principles and traditions of Judaism – the ethics, generosity of spirit, and resilience, an often heard, pandemic-era word. “I saw very clearly in Judaism a history of people who did not get deterred by failure or challenges or other people’s opinion of you,” she said. In her profession where women leaders and mentors were scarce, Dr. Goldsmith often found strength in her Jewish roots. And her eagerness to embrace the technology of the future is tied to the past as articulated in the universality and constancy of religious traditions. “I love traditions, connecting me to the past,” and providing the security and historical perspective for her to go forward into future no matter what the perceived risks are. As a renowned engineering innovator in the field of wireless communication, Dr. Goldsmith thinks some of her suc-
cess may be due to two very different influences from parents – her father, a chemical engineer, and her mother, an artist. She instinctively thinks out of the box – but those thoughts are tempered by a realistic assessment of what is technologically feasible. With a broad liberal arts undergraduate education, followed by a master’s and doctoral degrees in electrical engineering, she is the living embodiment of STEAM. The acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics, STEAM aims to integrate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) with the arts as a means of enhancing the learning experience while demonstrating how all things are connected to each other. The appeal of wireless communication for her goes beyond a fascination with the intricacies of the technology. Her love of wireless communication is its link to humanity, thanks to the technology’s enormous potential to change the way people and things communicate. It is this element of humanity that is fundamental to Princeton’s School of Engineering and Applied Science and made it such a perfect fit for Dean Goldsmith. Press materials announcing the new dean described SEAS as emphasizing the discovery and application of fundamental scientific principles to bring lasting benefits to society. A key to this work is the school’s collaborative culture. Faculty and students work closely with industry and with Princeton’s world-leading programs in the natural and social sciences, humanities and public policy. Graduates go on to become leaders in a wide range of industries, academic fields and public service. Currently, Dean Goldsmith is working with the Princeton University Lewis Center for the Arts on a certificate program in engineering and the arts. An example of what she hopes to achieve by an arts/engineering collaboration is the architecture/engineering certificate program. The certificate focuses on opportunities to respond dynamically to evolving global challenges, where elegant and effective solutions lead to more resilient and sustainable communities. The key to a successful collaborative culture is diversity, said Dean Goldsmith. Racial, religious, ethnic and gender diversity achieves “diversity in thinking and approaches to solving problems. “In my university, in my profession and in my startups I have found that diverse participants lead to a broader set of ideas and overall better outcomes,” Dean Goldsmith said. “Efforts to increase diversity must also ensure an inclusive and supportive environment to retain diverse members and maximize their success.” By the end of her talk, I felt no intimidation, but rather inspiration and confident enough to audit an engineering course next semester. After all, I have mastered Zoom, so why not Electrical and Computer Engineering?

Area governors announce significant easing of pandemic restrictions On May 3, Gov. Phil Murphy, New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont jointly announced a significant easing of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions on the region’s businesses, venues and gatherings given significant progress in vaccinations and sustained reduction in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations. “With our COVID-19 numbers, particularly hospitalizations, trending decisively in the right direction and our vaccination goals within reach, now is the time to take major steps to reopen our economy and loosen both indoor and outdoor gathering and capacity restrictions,” Murphy said. “We’ve done this the right way, in partnership with our neighboring states of New York and Connecticut, and by allowing data, science and public health to guide our decision-making. Over these next few weeks, I encourage all remaining eligible New Jerseyans to get vaccinated so we can continue fighting back against this virus and move toward a ‘new normal’ for ourselves, our neighbors and our loved ones,” he said. “The tide is turning against COVID-19 in New York, and thanks to our increasing vaccination rates, as well as our successful, data-based regional approach, we’re able to take more steps to reopen our economy, help businesses and workers, and keep moving towards returning to normal,” Cuomo said. “Thanks to the hard work of New Yorkers and our partners in government, we are now able to increase capacity limits for businesses, event venues and residences to reflect what we’re seeing in the COVID data. Maintaining this progress is critical and in order to keep moving in a positive direction, New Yorkers must continue to take all the proper precautions. If we let up now, we could slide backwards and that is something nobody wants. So, let’s be safe and for anyone who has yet to be vaccinated, please do so as soon as you can. With the addition of walk-in appointments, we’ve made it as easy as every to get your shot, so there are truly no excuses,” he said. “Our region has led by example since the beginning of the pandemic, taking the virus seriously and working collaboratively across state lines to the benefit of all of our residents,” Lamont said. “We were able announce the elimination of business restrictions due to a nation-leading vaccine distribution program which benefits all Connecticut residents, and our neighbors in New York and New Jersey.” The following guidelines apply to New York and New Jersey: Social Distance-based Business Capacities Effective May 19, most business capacities – which are currently based upon percentage of maximum occupancy – will be removed in New Jersey and New York. Businesses will only be limited by the space available for patrons or parties of patrons to maintain the required social distance of 6 feet. This new distance-based maximum capacity will apply across commercial settings, including retail, food services, gyms and fitness centers, amusement and family entertain-

ment, hair salons, barber shops and other personal care services, among other settings. It will also apply in houses of worship. Increase in Social, Residential Gathering Limits In New York beginning May 10, the outdoor social gathering limit will increase from 200 to 500 people. Beginning May 19, the indoor social gathering limit will increase from 100 to 250 people. Also, the outdoor residential gathering limit of 25 people will be removed, reverting to the social gathering limit of 500 people with space for appropriate social distancing, and the indoor residential gathering limit will increase from 10 to 50 people. In New York, any event gatherings in excess of the social gathering limits may only occur if all individuals present proof of full vaccination status or recent negative COVID-19 test result. Event Venues Congregate commercial and social events in New York
– such as those at venues that host sports competitions, performing arts and live entertainment, and catered receptions – can exceed the social gathering limits of 500 people outdoors or 250 people indoors if all attendees over the age of four present either proof of full vaccination status or recent negative COVID-19 test result and the required social distancing can be accommodated. Starting May 19, large-scale indoor event venues will operate at 30% capacity, which is an increase from the current 10% capacity limit. Large-scale outdoor event venues will operate at 33%. Social distancing, masks and other applicable health protocols will still apply, including the requirement of attendee proof of full vaccination or recent negative COVID-19 test result.
Industry Reopening Requirements While most industry capacity restrictions will be lifted, industry-specific requirements will remain in effect for a longer period of time, including state or local health authority See RESTRICTIONS, Page 8A

All that being said, I would venture to From among the big, three-row SUVs say that the buyer who is going to consider
NM-00459601
purchasing or leasing an Armada is probably not all that concerned about the “greenness” of this vehicle and more concerned about its roominess, power and towing capacity. The Armada is available in three trim levels, the SV, SL and top-of-the-line Platinum and with either 2wd or 4wd drivetrains. The base price of the Platinum edition I tested is $68,000. With added options my test vehicle carried a bottom line sticker price of $71,250. The added options included: $320 for carpeted floor mats; $390 for illuminated kick plates; $395 for welcome lighting and $650 for a Captains Chair second row seating package. At first glance, the 2021 Armada looks a lot different. Exterior wise the 2021 Armada sports a newer more chiseled and squared-off look. It has a new grille, hood, front fender, front bumper and LED headlights design that give it a more rugged and contemporary style. Inside, the folks at Nissan have upgraded the quality of the interior design and installed a larger 12.3 inch infotainment display screen that features Wi-Fi and wireless Apple CarPlay.
I like the refreshed design of the Armada inside and out, and the new 12.3-inch infotainment touch screen is certainly a nice upgrade. For the most part, the infotainment system works reasonably well on this Armada for phone, music entertainment and navigation. I felt that for a vehicle at this pricing point, a graphics update to a more modern look is in need for the navigation maps and entertainment systems. Moreover, the voice command system for navigation use falls short of expectations. I found myself having to repeat my voice commands too often in order to get the system to understand what it is I wanted it to do. The infotainment system operations have become so complex and sophisticated that, for me, it’s dangerous to try and do touch screen adjustments while driving. I find it much easier and safer to operate the infotainment system via voice command while driving. With that in mind, it becomes increasingly more important that the voice command and recognition systems work seamlessly. For my money, the best in the business in that department are BMW and Mercedes. Most of the others have room for improvement. The standard engine in the Armada is a 5.6 liter V8 that produces 400 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and 413 pound feet of torque. It is paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission. If you are looking to trailer your boat down to the shore this season, the Armada is more than capable. It features a standard maximum towing capacity of up to 8,500 pounds for both the 4wd and 2wd models. The folks at Car and Driver gave the newly redesigned Armada high marks for being “serenely quiet and comfy” and having a smooth potent powertrain and pillow ride. However, Car and Driver called Armada’s fuel economy “dreadful”. At the end of the day, I still think that the Armada’s nimbleness and power, over other competitors in this segment, make it a serious contender in the big SUV segment.

Sara Sterphone Rind, 33, passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 25, 2021, at 4:28 a.m. surrounded by her husband, sibling, and mother. Sara was born April 6, 1988 to Stacy and Joseph Sterphone at West Point, NY. She was raised in Hillsborough, New Jersey with her sibling, J, where, in her sophomore year of high school, she met her husband, Eric Rind. Sara was an active member of school and regional choirs her entire youth, including a high school performance at The Met in Lincoln Center. Her love of performing extended to drama productions. She was a standout in a County College of Morris variety show and as Jessica in “The Merchant of Venice” at Playhouse 22 in East Brunswick, NJ. During this time, she also found community in playing and ultimately designing board games with a cadre of friends and colleagues, developing a lifelong hobby. In 2013, Sara moved to Santa Barbara, California, where she was reunited with Eric and where she and J rekindled their relationship. Here, she took on a job as an academic advisor for the College of Creative Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she became an integral member of the campus community. During her time at CCS, Sara redefined what it meant to be a student advocate through her tireless service. Sara and Eric were married in 2013 in a small ceremony in the hills overlooking Santa Barbara County attended by their immediate families and close friends. Among Sara’s hobbies and interests were snowboarding, hiking, and scuba diving. She and Eric traveled with his parents, Guy and Eileen, for scuba diving trips, including a trip to the Philippines in August 2019. Sara and Eric also frequently took trips to national parks and mountains for hikes and snowboarding. During her time at home, Sara was quite partial to nights in playing board games with her husband and friends or heckling campy horror movies with J and her friend David. Sara’s impact on her community, friends, and family was matched only by her desire to put others before herself. Please join us in remembering her as we do: a caring, generous, fiercely joyful person. In lieu of flowers, donations in remembrance of Sara can be made to some of the following organizations Sara was passionate about: Sara Sterphone Memorial Fund The UCSB College of Creative Studies is establishing a memorial fund in Sara’s name recognizing student service and accomplishment.

Thompson to a superseding information charging him with one count of wire fraud and one count of subscribing to a false tax return. Thompson imposed the sentence on April 30 in Trenton federal court, according to information provided by Acting U.S. Attorney Rachael A. Honig announced. According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court, from 2008 through 2017, Rivera solicited primarily elderly investors to invest their money in a company called Robbins Lane Properties Inc. Rivera represented to investors that Robbins Lane was a company staffed by experienced real estate professionals that invested in real estate ventures. Rivera told investors that by investing in Robbins Lane, senior investors would share in the company’s investment portfolio by lending it money to invest in real estate. Rivera further promised investors that they would receive a guaranteed monthly income, and that the company’s rate of return was based on secure real estate investments in the company’s portfolio. In reality, Robbins Lane had no employees, no real estate portfolio, and the monies used to pay investors as a purported return on their investments was from funds he received from other investors. Rivera also used funds sourced from investors to pay his personal and unrelated business expenses, including paying his child’s college tuition and sorority fees. During the course of the fraudulent scheme, on March 5, 2014, Rivera filed with the IRS a federal income tax return that underreported his taxable income by $33,276. In addition to the prison term, Thompson sentenced Rivera to three years of supervised release and ordered him to pay restitution of $1.47 million to his victims and $284,863 to the IRS.

Q
Q
How long have you worked in real estate? A. This will be my 35th year in real estate. I love what I do!
Q
What do you do when you are not working? A. I enjoy spending time with my family, going to the theatre and doing word puzzles. I have also been teaching tap dancing for the past 38 years too, and I chair an annual fundraiser, Ribbons of Hope for the benefit of Dance for the Cure, an organization that gives financial assistance to local breast cancer patients.
Q
What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy or sell a home? A. Call me first! My background in education helps me explain the transaction from start to finish in a clear and concise way, setting realistic expectations. I believe I am my clients’ number one resource in the buying/selling process. My 30+ years of experience help them avoid some of the pitfalls of the process, thus helping them reach their real estate goals.
What is the most challenging/gratifying aspect of what you do? A. Real estate is unpredictable, which is the fun part for me. I am a good “juggler”; most days I have to shift gears on a moment’s notice. The intricacies of each transaction combined with the personalities of the parties involved equals a different scenario each time. While this is challenging, I find tackling the challenge and helping people get settled in the right home very gratifying.
Q
Why should someone choose you as their real estate agent? A. I am very fortunate to have had many repeat clients over the years who have become my cheerleaders out in the field. They tell their friends and family, “Just call Joanne” which is the best testimonial I could ask for! It is because of this support that I continue to be one of the top realtors in the Hillsborough area.
