Hillsborough thankful to play full season on the gridiron By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer

The Hillsborough High School football team headed to Edison on Nov. 20 to face Edison High School in a Big Central Football Conference showdown to finish out the 2020 season. Senior Sean Levonaitis rushed for three touchdowns and the Hillsborough defense racked five turnovers in what was a high scoring affair between the Raiders and Eagles. Unfortunately for the Raiders, Edison got the final say with quarterback Matt Yascko running in for the two-point conversion try that helped the Eagles edge out Hillsborough for a 50-49 victory. It was not the ending that Coach Kevin Carty and his Hillsborough squad wanted, but he said it didn’t take away from the relentless effort the team put on display on the field during the contest and having opportunity to play an exciting game. “I was proud and excited of our guys and how they played,” Carty said. “We had a lot of different guys step up and make plays. We had a lot of seniors make plays. (Edison) just made one more and that’s how it goes.” It was a slow start for Hillsborough, who saw themselves down 14-0 midway through the second quarter. Following a botched punt by Edison that allowed Hillsborough to set up shop at the Eagles’ sixyard line, junior Tyler Michinard rumbled in for a six-yard touchdown to cut the Edison lead to 14-6 and get the Raiders on the board with 5:18 left in the first half.

It was Michinard’s first touchdown run of the season. The Hillsborough defense came up with one of its five turnovers in the contest on the next possession to help the Raiders make it a onepoint game. A strip-sack by defensive lineman Ethan McLaughlin led to teammate Jordan Nussbaum scooping up the loose ball and running it back the other way for a 65yard score to trim the Edison lead down to 14-13 with 2:33 to go in the first half. The defensive unit of the Raiders made two huge plays early on in the second half to help Hillsborough climb back from its 21-13 halftime deficit. Following a fumble recovery by Leo Schiro, Levonaitis jolted 41 yards to the end zone for his first touchdown run of the contest. A successful two-point conversion

try followed with junior quarterback Jay Mazuera finding wide receiver Thomas Amankwaa in the end zone to help Hillsborough tie the game at 21-21. Senior linebacker Luke Popadiuk recorded his first interception of the season for Hillsborough on the next drive, setting up Levonaitis to rack up his second touchdown of the third quarter on a 32-yard score to give Hillsborough its first lead of the game. “The defense really got us going with some turnovers,” Carty said. “The pressure we were able to put on the quarterback was great. They really played well.” Popadiuk secured Hillsborough’s third turnover of the second half with 2:08 left to play and with the game tied at 42-42, scooping up the loose fumble for his first fumble recovery of the season to give the Raiders’ offense the ball back.

Levonaitis again answered the call for Hillsborough after a big turnover, dashing his way off right tackle for a 21-yard touchdown to put Hillsborough up 49-42 with 1:58 left to play. The senior running back finished with 252 yards rushing on the night in his last game as a Raider, giving him 958 yards on the ground this fall. The three touchdown runs provides Levonaitis with 13 scores this season, topping his 12 total touchdowns from last year. “It’s definitely a great accomplishment,” Levonaitis said. “I work a lot off the field to get where I’m at today and I’m just glad I was able to be successful.” The Raiders were in the driver’s seat, but Edison rallied back with a one-yard score by Yascko and then took the lead moments later when the sophomore quarterback ran in for the successful two-point con-

version try with 52.9 seconds left. Hillsborough now needed a game-winning scoring drive to win the game. The Raiders got passed midfield, but a holding penalty stopped their drive in its tracks and Hillsborough was unable to get a score for the win and finished the season with a mark of 4-4. It wasn’t the exact ending the team wanted, but playing a full eight-game season when many other teams around the state could not, made this season a huge win for Hillsborough. “I’m very thankful that we got to play a full season,” Levonaitis said. “I’m happy for the bond I had with my team and staying tough through everything. It’s easy to get negative during these times, so I’m happy I was able to have support from all people.” Junior Will Dixon and senior Aidan Lugo each had a touchdown reception in the contest for Hillsborough. Mazuera threw for 122 yards in the contest and finished the season with 1,265 passing yards in his first year as a starter for the Raiders. Carty made sure his seniors and all his players knew how much he appreciated their hard work during the season after the game. “The guys in our senior group are just unbelievable men,” Carty said. “They’re guys that I really love and our underclassmen love. I wanted to make sure they got their due before we went back in our houses for a while. This experience is going to be invaluable for our returning players to build on for next year. ”

Coaches, athletes read children’s books focusing on Black culture The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) announced its Time Out for Black Lives initiative, which aims to inspire and educate youth, athletes, families and fans. Time Out for Black Lives has an interactive website where coaches and student-athletes from MAAC basketball programs contribute their time and resources to read children’s books in entertaining videos, all focusing on Black culture, history, music and myths. The program comes as part of the MAAC’s United for Justice campaign that was announced over

the summer. “The Time Out for Black Lives program is something the MAAC and its member institutions have been excited about launching for quite some time as we worked with our partners in Greece and the MAAC SAAC and basketball coaches and student-athletes,” MAAC Commissioner Rich Ensor said in a statement from Rider University. “It’s an excellent way to give back to local schools and expand the familiarity of our basketball programs while also teaching important aspects of black history to our youth. Teach-

ing children about these important parts of history is so important now more than ever, and the MAAC is proud to give back to its communities. We hope this program is just one of many included in the conference’s United for Justice campaign. Kudos to all involved in this project and for their support of social justice initiatives.” All videos will be highlighted on the new site built specifically for the reading program, timeoutforblacklives.com. Posted videos will feature short biographies on each coach or student-athlete,

with kid-friendly information such as the reader’s hometown, favorite book and favorite basketball player. There are also “Let’s Talk About It” resource guides to help parents/teachers start thought provoking discussions with the children viewing the videos. The first round of videos will feature: Rick Pitino (Iona) reads “A Nation’s Hope: The Story of Boxing Legend Joe Louis” by Matt De La Peña, illustrated by Kadir Nelson. Kevin Baggett (Rider) reads

“I Got Next” by Daria PeoplesRiley. Carmen Maciariello (Siena) reads “Obama: The Day the World Danced: a Family Heirloom” by Jan Spivey Gilchrist. Jordan Henderson (Canisius) reads “Cool Cuts” by Mechal Renee Roe. Melik Martin (Monmouth) reads “I Am Every Good Thing” by Derrick Barnes, illustrated by Gordon C. James.

Code Ninjas owner honored for promoting engineering, tech for girls

SUBSCRIBE 732-254-7004

Marisa Narula, owner of Code Ninjas Hillsborough-Montgomery has been making strides in creating gender equality in the tech industry for the last two years by providing opportunities for girls in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) and raising community awareness. A frequent guest speaker at local schools, host of Women in STEM events, and volunteer in

the community, Narula was asked to be the official International Day of the Girl representative across the Code Ninjas franchise, which includes more than 600 territories in the U.S., Canada and the UK. For the second year in a row, Narula was presented with a proclamation from the Hillsborough Township Committee and Mayor Doug Tomson for her efforts with girls in STEM. Last year, Hillsborough Township officially proclaimed Oct. 11 as Day of the Girl with Montgomery Township following suit this year. Narula was present at both ceremonies virtually and gave remarks. She was featured in the Hillsborough Business Association’s spotlight for Women’s Small Business Month in October.

In celebration of International Day of the Girl, Code Ninjas held their annual event on Oct. 11 with guest speakers Mayor Sadaf Jaffer, Ph.D. and Meghana Shah, founder and CEO of the Parasol Cooperative, a tech nonprofit that supports victims of domestic violence. The event was staffed by Code Ninjas female coding instructors Montgomery High School students Diya Sethi and Sahithi Jaruhula and Hillsborough resident Shewta Kumar, a recent graduate. Narula is a Montgomery resident, board member of the Montgomery Charity Foundation, and community volunteer in several capacities. • This article was submitted by Marisa Narula on behalf of herself.

Long-Term High Cholesterol Can Affect Your Long-Term Health

holesterol – the waxy substance found in your blood and produced naturally by your liver– is essential to building healthy cells. But high levels of the substance can lead to fatty deposits and blockages that make it difficult for blood to flow through your arteries. Over time, this reduced blood flow can cause damage throughout your body, and the longer it goes undetected and untreated, the more damage will be done. Yet once diagnosed, high cholesterol can usually be managed through lifestyle changes, medication, or a combination of both. A Silent Disease High cholesterol is considered a silent disease because it does not cause any outward symptoms. However as fatty deposits—also knowns as plaques— build up, it causes your arteries to narrow and harden, preventing blood from flowing freely and lessening the amount of oxygen and other nutrients delivered throughout your body. High cholesterol increases your risk for peripheral artery disease and can cause memory problems, nervous system disruptions, and even digestive problems. At the same time, pieces of plaque can break off suddenly and travel throughout the bloodstream, potentially causing a blockage or clot. The longer high cholesterol goes untreated, the greater the risk for heart disease and stroke, two of the leading causes of death in the United States. Family History Signiﬁcant Risk Factor While high cholesterol is most commonly seen in adults 50 and older, an increasing number of people are developing the condition at a younger age. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Pre-

THE STATE WE’RE IN

vention (CDC), nearly 29 million American adults age 20 and older have high cholesterol, and an estimated 7 percent of children suffer from the condition. In addition to age, family history is a significant risk factor for high cholesterol. If you have an immediate family member who has high cholesterol, you’re more likely to have it too. Other risk factors include poor diet, obesity, lack of exercise, smoking, diabetes and high blood pressure. If you are concerned about your risk for high cholesterol, talk to your doctor about screening. The 70-70-70 Rule A simple blood test can determine if your cholesterol levels are high, and testing should be performed on a regular basis at the recommendation of your primary care physician. In general, the CDC recommends that most healthy people should have their cholesterol checked every 4-6 years and that children and adolescents should have their cholesterol checked at least once between ages 9-11 and again between ages 17-21. The basic rule for healthy cholesterol is 70-70-70. You want your LDL, which is sometimes called bad cholesterol, under 70; your HDL or good cholesterol at 70 or higher, and your triglycerides (a type of fat) under 70. If you are diagnosed with high cholesterol, there is a range of medications to help keep it within a healthy range and, as a result, help you maintain good cardiovascular health. Following a heart healthy lifestyle can also help keep cholesterol in check. Tips to Stay Heart Healthy The American Heart Association recommends the following tips to help manage cholesterol and stay heart healthy:

• Eat a heart healthy diet. From a dietary standpoint, the best way to lower your cholesterol is to reduce your intake of saturated fat and trans fat. Limit saturated fat to less than 6 percent of daily calories. Minimize trans fat consumption by reducing your intake of red meat and whole milk dairy as well as limiting fried food and cooking with healthy oils. Additionally, a heart healthy diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, poultry, fish, nuts, and non-tropical vegetable oils. • Become more physically active. At least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise a week is enough to lower both cholesterol and high blood pressure. Brisk walking, swimming, bicycling, and dancing are all considered moderate-intensity exercise. • Quit smoking. Smoking and vaping lowers HDL, the good cholesterol. What’s more, in people who already have high cholesterol, smoking increases the risk of coronary heart disease even more than it otherwise would. • Lose weight. Being overweight or obese raises bad cholesterol and lowers good cholesterol. Losing as little as 5 to 10 percent of excess weight can help improve cholesterol levels. Learn More Visit the Princeton Health onDemand UStream channel at www.ustream.tv/princetonhealth where you can watch a pre-recorded video to learn more about the risks of longterm high cholesterol.

What’s valuable about New Jersey’s forests?

n the not-so-distant past, the value of forests was based on the timber generated from logging. Forests without commercial timber potential were thought to be nearly worthless. Today, much more is known about forest values. Forests are considered priceless for providing wildlife habitat and many “ecosystem services,” including filtering impurities from the air and water, absorbing and storing carbon from the atmosphere, and soaking up flood waters. Forests are also valuable for recreation and their cooling effect in summer. A new “State Forest Action Plan” by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection examines the value of the Garden State’s forests and the many threats they face – most prominently the impacts of a warming climate. The plan proposes a number of actions to protect New Jersey’s forests, which collectively cover about two million acres of this state we’re in. The DEP is accepting public comments on the draft plan through Dec. 2. “In the past, forest managers looked at forests through a

Tree species historically found in the southern part of the state will eventually become more abundant in the north, and some trees now found in northern New Jersey may disappear from the state. The forest plan discusses diseases and pests in great detail and, for the first time, points out the severe damage caused by our over-abundant deer population. The forest plan recommends planting trees in areas previously not forested, restoring damaged forests, restoring the declining Atlantic White Cedar ecosystems, and protecting rare plants. The plan introduces a new concept of “proforestation,” the practice of leaving forests undisturbed as they march toward old age, to maximize their ecological potential and carbon sequestration. New science is helping us understand how carbon is captured and stored over time throughout the forest above or below ground, in wood and roots, and in soil and leaves. Many new studies, synthesized in the publication Wild Carbon, point to conserving undisturbed forests as the best strategy for sequestering carbon as part of the battle to slow climate change. The draft State Forest Action Plan mentions the Sourlands region of central New Jersey as one place where proforestation should be considered, but emerging science suggests this strategy should play a much larger role in many of New Jersey’s older, maturing forests. Protecting sequestered carbon by fostering the eventual reestablishment of old growth forest areas on our public lands can even create a New Jersey “carbon market.” As part of our response to global warming, forest trees may be far more valuable being left to grow old than anyone ever dreamed. For all those who love New Jersey’s forests and want to learn of their current status and what the future might hold, be sure to check out the State Forest Action Plan at https:// njparksandforests.org/forest/njsfap/docs/njsfap20201015.pdf To provide your observations to the State Forester on the plan before the state’s Dec. 2 deadline, go to https://njparksandforests.org/forest/njsfap/comment.html To find out more about the benefits of proforestation, go to the Wild Carbon website at https://www.sweetwatertrust.org/ images/WildWorks_V1_WildCarbon.pdf Michele S.

narrow lens … Timber value is no longer an important forest attribute for many New Jersey residents,” explains State Forester John Sacco in the plan’s introduction. “This land works hard for our nine million residents, providing clean water, much-needed recreation, wildlife and rare plant habitat and jobs,” Sacco added. “Our urban forests keep cities cooler in summer, filter air and water pollution and make our neighborhoods attractive places to live. Our forests fix enough atmospheric CO2 (carbon dioxide) each year to offset the annual CO2 emissions of Newark, our largest city. They are the front line in our fight against climate change.” The State Forest Action Plan is a 10-year strategic plan required under the federal Farm Bill for New Jersey to be eligible for federal forest stewardship funding. Much hard work has gone into the action plan, which contains substantial information not found in previous plans. The federal forestry program has three priorities: protecting forests from threats; enhancing public benefits from trees and forests; and conserving and managing working forest landscapes for multiple values and uses. The first two are the most relevant to small and densely populated New Jersey. As Sacco notes, New Jersey’s forests are at risk from climate change, invasive species, diseases, insect outbreaks and wildfires. “Increased global trade is accelerating the homogenization of Earth’s ecosystems,” he said. “New organisms are continually introduced into places where they did not evolve. Due to introduced diseases and insects, we have lost or are losing many important native tree, shrub and herbaceous plant species. In many areas, our Great Eastern Deciduous Forest now has a Eurasian understory.” Wildfires are also a threat, as a massive fire or series of fires could cause “a catastrophic release of CO2 to the atmosphere, a phenomenon we have seen out west, where forest lands were once carbon sinks, but now atmospheric carbon sources.” The forest plan suggests several actions, including: • Conserving our forests’ biological diversity; • Maintaining the health and vitality of forest ecosystems; • Conserving and maintaining soil and water resources of our forests; • Maintaining forest contributions to global carbon cycles. The forest plan notes that the Earth’s warming climate is changing New Jersey’s forests. Trees are flowering earlier and sea level rise threatens many species, including Atlantic white cedar, that can’t survive saltwater intrusion.

2020 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0T SEL “What are you driving this tongues these days, it cerweek?” an old friend of mine tainly is a lot more popular asked – as a lot of my friends are in Europe. Volkswagen introduced apt to do these days when they the Tiguan in 2007. I recentknow I write a weekly auto review ly jumped behind the wheel column. of the 2020 Tiguan 2.0T “A Tiguan,” I replied.

The name was the result of a naming contest conducted by the Ger- the Saffrano and black leather interior makes for a very attractive package. man car magazine publisher Auto Bild. However, I must admit that I was a tad It was selected from a field of names that also included Namib, Rockton, Samun disappointed when I jumped behind the wheel of this Tiguan and punched the acand Nanuk. OK, now that we’re all clear on that – celerator to take it for its first spin. While there are a lot of positives to portmanteau? A portmanteau is formed by write about here – it’s got plenty of head, combining two or more existing words. While the Tiguan crossover SUV may leg and cargo space room – tremendous not be on the tip of every American’s speed and agility are not one of its strong

suits – at least not in my book. The turbo-charged four-cylinder engine makes 184 horsepower. This engine is coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The all wheel drive SEL Premium model runs from 0 to 60 miles per hour in an unimpressive 9.1 seconds. There is a “sport” mode selection on the center console which affords this Tiguan a bit more zip, but not enough to make a tremendous difference. The overall ride quality of the Tiguan is a bit stiff, which makes going over bumps a bit of an adventure at times. But there is enough of a quality feel to the ride to make this a quality choice for some in the SUV crossover segment. My wife commented that she thought that the seats were a bit stiff and not comfortable. I would have to agree with her on that point. Volkswagen offers up the Tiguan in six different trim levels, starting with the base S model ($25,965) and ending with top of the line SEL Premium R-Line – which I drove – with a base price of $38,795.

The bottom line sticker price on my tester came in at $39,815 after adding in $1,020 for destination and delivery. The EPA fuel consumption ratings for the Tiguan come in at 23 miles per gallon overall – 27 miles per gallon in highway driving and 20 miles per gallon in city driving. The EPA estimates that the annual fuel cost of running this Tiguan will come in at about $1,750 as it uses about 4.3 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. The government’s 5-star safety ratings crash test were not completed all the way. The Tiguan did receive a 5-star rating for the front seat and rear seat side crash tests. It got a 4-star rating on the overall rollover test. The editors at Car and Driver gave the Tiguan high marks for “refined driving experience, available third row and excellent fuel economy.” Car and Driver gave the Tiguan low marks for not being as quick as its rivals, and it has a firm ride with the larger optional wheels. The SEL Premium model comes loaded with a ton of standard equipment including 20-inch alloy wheels; panoramic roof; heated seats and a heated leather wrapped steering wheel; remote start; 8-inch touch screen navigation and a whole lot more.

Steven Hoffman, L,Ac., Dipl. OM hears these things every day in his practice. That is because severe and chronic cases are so difficult to treat. Acupuncture is often a medicine of last resort but also often gets the best results. Chronic conditions are those that have lasted over three months and these conditions affect millions of Americans. Chronic conditions are not a good indicator of dysfunction. This means that whatever caused the problem in the ﬁrst place is no longer even present! If you are treating something that is not causing the problem, the treatment simply is not going to be effective.

As climate change becomes more pronounced – the warmest years on record have all been over the last several – societies and communities are discussing and trying different approaches. In Portland, Oregon, voters approved a 2018 ballot measure, The Clean Energy Fund. Denver, Colorado, voters recently approved a similar program. Presidentelect Joe Biden’s proposed, sweeping climate plan targets many of the causes of climate change, but notably, 40% of its clean energy investment will be directed to disadvantaged communities. The Portland program looks to invest in energy efficiency and renewable energy. It has funded small planning grants to help communities apply for larger grants. It will assist low-income Portland residents to finance green initiatives and job creation. The city is expecting in this coming year to provide $40-60 million for clean energy job training, weatherizing houses, and installing roof-top solar panels. In order to pay for these plans, the city has levied a 1% tax on larger businesses. Some of those businesses have objected that the tax is unfair and will not produce any of the promised improvements. The president of the Portland Business Alliance responded that while the alliance supports the goals of the Clean Energy Fund, it questions “who is paying for this and how they pay for it.” The alliance president pointed out that the definition of “large retailers” was so broad that retirement funds and garbage haulers were included. The city subsequently excluded those businesses. But other groups, such as The Coalition of Communities of Color, saw the program as an economic recovery tool. Still others saw it as a rebalancing of programs that had previously benefited only affluent portions of the community. The city expects to offer its first $8.6 million climate justice grants next year.

It is to be hoped that this initiative, and others like it around the country will help reduce emissions and the global warming they produce. The complexity of tackling climate change is evidenced in a number of ways beyond these local efforts. While carbon dioxide emissions have dropped nationally since switching from coal to natural gas has been widely adopted, a recent 2020 study found that methane leaks from the U.S. gas systems has countered many of those benefits. Although natural gas produces fewer emissions than coal, its heat-trapping properties of methane, when released into the atmosphere, are stronger than coal. The solution lies in reducing leaks, but with their sources in drilling, piping and refining, it is neither a simple nor cheap fix. And yet allowing climate change to continue will lead to much greater costs, in a number of ways. We, as a nation, largely recognize this and know what to do. The question is: will we come together sufficiently to do it? This question was addressed as long ago as 1932, by theologian, Reinhold Niebuhr, at New York’s Union Theological Seminary. In his book, Moral Man and Immoral Society, he wrote: “However much human ingenuity may increase the treasures which nature provides … they can never be sufficient to satisfy all human wants; for man, unlike other creatures, is gifted and cursed with an imagination which extends his appetites beyond the requirements of subsistence. Human society will never escape the problem of the equitable distribution of the physical and cultural goods which provide for the preservation and fulfillment of human life.” Thus, in environmental terms, the benefits from fossil fuel usage must be weighed against their environmental costs, which must be paid for by both beneficiaries, the producers and, equitably, the communities.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Libraries occupy a valued and important center of community life Congratulations to three libraries in the16th Legislative District – the Hunterdon County Library in Flemington, the Montgomery Township Library Branch of the Somerset County Library System, and the South Brunswick Township Public Library in Middlesex County – for being among the 38 highly rated projects from 16 counties that have been awarded funding from the Library Construction Bond Act (LCBA). The specific awards are: Hunterdon, $980,837; Montgomery, $5,375,000; South Brunswick, $3,586,852. On Nov. 16, the members of the NJ State Legislature unanimously passed legislation to appropriate $86.5 million from the library construction bond issue that voters approved three years ago. Gov. Phil Murphy is expected to sign the legislation into law immediately. Funding will become available soon afterwards for the projects encompassing construction, reconstruction, development, extension, improvement, and furnishing of New Jersey’s public libraries. A second round of awards is planned for the first quarter of 2021.

Libraries occupy such a valued and important center of community life in towns throughout New Jersey. They serve as the community’s living room where people gather to connect with their friends and neighbors and to broaden their horizons from all of the library’s information resources, as well as the talented and welcoming library staff. I am continually impressed with the juxtaposition of high tech information services with the familial personal environment. In addition, the libraries have been creatively responsive in finding ways to serve the community during these COVID-challenging times with strategies such as curbside pickup, extensive virtual programming, outside story readings and special browse-and-go visits. My heartfelt thanks to all the library directors and staff who work so intelligently, creatively, compassionately and energetically to improve the quality of life for all of us.

Andrew Zwicker Assemblyman, NJ 16th Legislative District

Black Culture Continued from Page 1A Margaret McNamara, illustrated by Micah Player. Marc Mitchell (Saint Peter’s) reads “Henry’s Freedom Box” by Ellen Levine, illustrated by Kadir Nelson. Jada Pierce (Niagara) reads “Sing a Song: How Lift Every Voice and Sing Inspired Generations” by Kelly Starling Lyons, illustrated by Keith Mallett. Julianna Bonilla (Marist) reads “Good Night Martin Luther King Jr.” by Adam Gamble and Mark Jasper, illustrated by Julissa Mora. Callie Cavanaugh (Fairfield) reads “I Am Enough” by Grace Byers, illustrated by Keturah A. Bobo. Sajada Bonner (Quinnipiac) reads “Get Up, Stand Up” by Cedella Marley, illustrated by John Jay Cabuay. “The Time Out For Black Lives reading initiative is a fantastic program,” Iona Men’s Basketball Coach Rick Pitino said in the statement. “I am incredibly proud of the MAAC and every member school for taking steps to make this mission actionable.” “This basketball reading program is intended to help children develop reading, writing and thought-provoking skills while recognizing the outstanding contributions and achievements of many great Black leaders. This program is not about the actions of one, but the collective momentum of many, and Iona, as well as the MAAC, is committed to carrying that momentum forward.” Pitino partook in a similar program while coaching in Greece and was a strong advocate for the MAAC to launch its own program. Coaches throughout the conference felt strongly about the Time Out for Black Lives program and were eager to partake. “I’m proud to take part in Time Out for Black Lives,” Rider Men’s Basketball Coach Kevin Baggett said in the statement. “Being able to intersect two very important things like reading and social justice while reaching a young audience makes the initiative

one that will no doubt have a meaningful impact.” Baggett and Pitino will be included in the first wave of released videos. Heather Vulin, head coach of the Manhattan’s women’s program and also part of the first wave of released recordings, was also an enthusiastic supporter of the program. “I am so excited to be a part of the MAAC initiative Time Out for Black Lives,” Vulin said in the statement. “I feel it puts representation to the forefront and starts exposure and conversations on diversity, equality, and inclusion early for our children. The book I read, ‘Vote for our Future’, is a great example of the importance of using our right to vote and how voting impacts everyone’s future. I feel this program will be a wonderful resource for our local schools and an opportunity to get important conversations started. Plus, every child should be able to see someone that looks like them when they are learning about history and other important topics. We all truly gain when we embrace our differences and strengths. I am proud to be a part of the MAAC, which has continually made it a priority to use our platform to raise awareness and support for the social justice movement.” Student-athletes will also be taking part in Time Out for Black Lives, as they have in past MAAC initiatives. Student-athletes are able to share their life experiences and lessons in a way that local students can easily connect to, as was evident in last year’s MAAC Gives Back program where basketball programs visited local elementary and high schools. “I am excited to be a part of the MAAC’s Time Out for Black Lives reading program,” Canisius junior guard Jordan Henderson said in the statement. “This program is a fun way to help children learn about the importance of reading, and I’m honored to be one of the student-athletes chosen to help share that message.”

Outdoor Dance Performance

Sugar Plum and Cavalier Professional ARB dancers with students from the Princeton Ballet School.

The Nutcracker, the thrilling ballet set to Tchaikovsky’s magnificent score, has been a joyful element of my Christmas season for nearly every Christmas since 1964, when the American Repertory Ballet (ARB), formerly Princeton Ballet, made the ballet an annual holiday tradition. I have seen the production an estimated 150 times at McCarter Theatre in Princeton, State Theater in New Brunswick, and the War Memorial in Trenton – not only because it gives me goosebumps, but also (full disclosure number one) because my daughter and my granddaughter have danced in dozens of productions. This year, COVID-19 positioned itself to be the Grinch that would steal the 2020 holiday sweet treat from not only my family, but also countless other families throughout New Jersey. But ARB and the students of its affiliated Princeton Ballet School (PBS) teamed up with Main Street Highland Park (MSHP) in a perfect pas de deux to thwart the Grinch. On Sat-

ria oember  

urday afternoon, Nov. 21, ARB, PBS and MSHP produced Princeton Ballet School’s Nutcracker Suite – outside, with masks, with technical dance excellence, and with unbridled joy, in front of audience members, sitting socially distant, with masks and without paying a penny for a truly inspiring show. The teamwork resulted in the ballet’s first live dance performance since February, while simultaneously raising the profile of the COVID-beleaguered downtown Highland Park retail community. Full disclosure number two – my daughter Rebecca Hersh heads MSHP and my granddaughter Lily Solomon was one of the students performing as one of the “candy canes from Russia.” So yes, the goosebumps I felt were not only the usual ones I experience every time I hear the score and watch the exquisite dancing, but also the ones unique to this particular production. The ballet company and school led by ARB Executive Director Julie Diana

Hench, Artistic Director Designate Ethan Stiefel, and PBS Director Aydmara Cabrera worked with the Main Street Highland Park team, led by MSHP Executive Director Rebecca Hersh, Assistant Director Javier Zavaleta, and Board Member Jenni Chapman, to fulfill the mandate of “the show must go on.” Their passion and determination fueled the event, respectful of but not cowed by the COVID threat. While the dance team prepared the dancers for the challenges of performing outdoors on a small, temporary stage, while staying safe from the usual dangers of dance related injuries and the unusual dangers of COVID, the Main Street group put in many hours of logistical planning geared to keep COVID out and enjoyment in, enforcing strict registration, supporting the local retailers by giving out to all audience members goodie bags with coupons to various retail establishments, and securing sponsors to finance the project. The sponsors crucial to the event were Middlesex County Board of Chosen Freeholders, the New Jersey State Arts Council, and Miller’s Rentals. And just because I want credit for some aspect of this awesome project, I am proclaiming that I arranged for the weather – overcast, no wind, no rain, and moderate mid-50s to 60-degree temperatures. For one hour, the audience members and performers escaped from reality and worries about the depressed and depressing retail scene in downtowns throughout New Jersey, the struggling arts scene through out New Jersey, and the excruciating struggles of New Jerseyans confronting the horrors of this disease. On the day of the performance, New Jersey reported close to 5,000 new cases, surpassing 300,000 total cases since the pandemic began. The statewide cumulative total was 302,039 positive

test results. New Jersey’s overall fatality count resulting from COVID-19 went up to 16,746. The dancing of the candy canes, snowflakes, sugar plums, dew drop, chocolates, marzipans, polichinelles, coffees, teas, Mother Ginger cherubs, and waltzing flowers, comprised the ingredients of a delicious cake whose icing was a performance by two ARB professionals in the role of the Sugar Plum and Cavalier. For the first time in months, the little tears in the corners of my eyes were dewdrops of joy rather than stinging tears of fear and frustration. My only advice as to how to sustain the spirit of this initiative is to pay it forward – shop local, attend all the virtual fundraisers for the arts and social services organizations, and say thank you a billion times to all frontline healthcare personnel and essential workers whose services sustain our day to day survival. Perhaps, we should buy these essential workers coupons for goods and services at local restaurants and retail shops, as well as tickets to next year’s arts productions – post COVID and post vaccination. Until then, maybe a few more communities through December could use this model of arts and business collaboration to create a movement away from the computer screens and into the streets for small, niche, COVID-safe, outdoor, performing arts productions covering the entire gamut of dance and musical entertainment. Right now, I crave not only all styles of dance, but also jazz, rock and roll, and even a good stand-up comic. New Jersey’s winter weather generally doesn’t get too apocalyptic until February and March. How sweet that would be if the hard work, creativity and determination were catching instead of the virus!
