Mercer County awarded $88K DEP Pay$ to Plug grant to install electric vehicle charging stations

Mercer County received a grant to install electric vehicle charging stations throughout the county.

Ownership of electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles is growing by the year, and with an eye toward that trend, Mercer County is committed to the inclusion of sustainable practices such as the support of EVs. To meet the growing need for vehicle charging stations, Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes announced that Mercer County has been awarded a grant of $88,000 to install EV charging stations at close to a dozen county-owned locations, according to information provided by the county. On recommendation of the Mercer County Planning Department, the new charging stations will be installed at: • Mercer County Administration Building, 640 South Broad St., Trenton • Mercer Office Park, 1440 Parkside Ave, Ewing • Hopewell Valley Golf Course, 114 PenningtonHopewell Road, Hopewell • Mercer County Improvement Authority, 80 Hamilton Ave., Trenton • Mercer County Boathouse, 334 South Post Road, West Windsor • Mercer Oaks Golf Course, 725 Village Road West, West Windsor • Mountain View Golf Course, 850 Bear Tavern Road, Ewing • Princeton Country Club, Wheeler Way, West Windsor • Mercer Meadows (Hunt House), 197 Blackwell Road, Pennington • Mercer County Technical

Schools Assunpink Center, 1085 Old Trenton Road, Hamilton • Mercer County Technical Schools Sypek Center, 129 Bull Run Road, Ewing The funding comes through the N.J. Department of Environmental Protection’s Pay$ to Plug In Program, which was designed to expand the state’s growing network of electric vehicle infrastructure, allowing residents, businesses and government agencies to purchase and drive electric vehicles. “Studies show that range anxiety, the fear that the car will somehow run out of power, is a fear that keeps consumers from investing in electric vehicles, and our goal is to expand the opportunities to charge a vehicle and further educate consumers on the environmental benefits of gasoline alternatives,” Hughes said in the statement. The transportation sector accounts for 46% of the New Jersey’s net greenhouse gas emissions, making it the largest emissions source in the state, according to drivegreen.nj.gov. By installing EV charging stations on county property, Mercer County can help to slow climate change and reduce air pollution while providing an essential service for the growing number of EV drivers in the region, Hughes said in the statement. Additionally, the number of EVs will likely increase due to the initiatives from the New Jersey State government to promote See GRANT, Page 3A

First community outreach meeting completed for new Hopewell Valley community center By ANDREW HARRISON

Staff Writer

Community stakeholders gathered virtually for the first in what will be a series of outreach meetings on a future Hopewell Valley senior and community center project. The center would be for residents of Hopewell Township, Pennington and Hopewell Borough. The virtual discussion took place on April 13 and is part of the very early stages of the proposed project. “The Hopewell Township Committee had approved a contract in December of last year for the Spiezle Architectural Group and we had a very specific scope of work for the project,” said Mark Kataryniak, community development director and Hopewell Township township engineer. “First being established, stakeholders for the project. Within those stakeholders established were working groups that represent the user groups at the facility we envision at the program, before we even put real number towards the plan.” Stakeholders included representatives from the Hopewell Township Committee, Hopewell Valley YMCA, and Hopewell Valley Regional Board of Education and school district. Within the stakeholders, four working groups were created to focus on major program elements for the project.

The property site is located at 1646 Reed Road, near the intersection of Reed and Diverty Roads, and is adjacent to the Zaitz Tract. The Zaitz tract property falls behind ShopRite on Pennington Road off of Route 31. The draft scope currently of the project’s enclosed building area is about 70,000 square feet. “The programs will essentially comprise of senior programs, community programs, youth programs, meeting spaces and game rooms,” said Steve Leone, Spiezle Architectural Group, during the virtual meeting. The presentation by Spiezle Architectural Group showcased examples of community multipurpose rooms that can accommodate 100 occupants; a community game room, community art room (classroom for mixedmedia); youth creators space focused on STEM programming and multimedia content creation, and aquatics programs. “The aquatics program is pretty robust and we want to be sure we are serving the right type of activity. We have arrived at the fact that there needs to be in this facility both a lap pool and a recreation pool. That is where we stand today,” Leone said. “We want to use those pools extensively, no different than any other space. We will use them for leisurely activity, therapy, swim meets, recreations and everything we can program it for.” Recreation programs and

program venues had also been explored in the first community outreach meeting. Recreation programs that could be included in the facility could be sports leagues, open recreation, fitness, personal training and wellness coaching. The primary venues for such programs would be a gymnasium, wellness center and specialty studios. “We are going to take a hard look at how to program the site overall. We want opportunities to have active, as well as, passive spaces to serve each of the functions,” Leone added. “Some open space for dining perhaps, some open space for exercise and we have talking about utilizing the roof of the structure for rooftop events.” Additionally, community residents during the meeting suggested an auditorium or raised stage for performances as part of the facility. The new center would not just serve as a recreation facility for all Hopewell Valley residents, but as the new building for seniors which would replace the Hopewell Valley Senior Center, located on Reading Street in Pennington Borough. The building, over the years, has been deteriorating and plagued with needed repairs. The senior center faced a complete shutdown in 2018. “The scope we have with our

Hopewell Valley Girl Scouts celebrate Thinking Day with peace pinwheels

SUBSCRIBE 732-254-7004

Each year, Girl Scouts across the globe observe Thinking Day, a worldwide celebration of international friendships among the World Association of Girl Guides

and Girl Scouts. Traditionally, each troop participates in activities and projects with global themes to honor and learn about their sister Girl Scouts and Girl Guides around the world. The theme for 2021 is “peace.” The Hopewell Valley Girl Scouts, from kindergarten to 12th grade, participated in peace-themed activities based on their Girl Scout troop level, from Daisy to Ambassador. Some girls created songs or skits, some practiced peacemaking and conflict resolution challenges, some signed

a peace pledge, and all learned about peace heroes and notable peacemaking women. With thanks to the Hopewell Branch of the Mercer County Library, the pinwheels on display there were made this month by the Girl Scouts, and represent each Hopewell Valley Girl Scout and her commitment to peace. To learn more about Girl Scouts in the Hopewell Valley, visit hovalgirlscouts.org • This information was provided by JoAnne Bush.

Lathrop will give a preview of the exhibition she and colleagues curated, “African Modernism in America, 1947-67.” Lathrop’s research took her to Fisk University, which houses one of the most comprehensive collections of African modernism in the United States, and to Lagos, Nigeria where, in 2018, she began discussion with Nigeria-based artist Ndidi Dike whose newly-commissioned installation will appear in the exhibition. Contributing artists such as Ben Enwonwu (Nigeria), Gerard Sekoto (South Africa), Ibrahim El-Salahi (Sudan), and Skunder Boghossian (Ethiopia) were responding to interlocking histories of civil rights, decolonization and the Cold War. The 60 works in this exhibition are inventive, passionate, and irrefutably contemporary.

While farmers drive the horses and steer the plow to open up the rows, helpers will follow behind with baskets of seeds and place them in the furrows. Over the next four months the field will be weeded and hilled by interns and volunteers before visitors again help to harvest the crop in mid-August. Programs will be modified to encourage social distancing and reflect current state guidelines for public events.

bounce back in a series of events to coincide with Earth Week, which is April 2430. The free events range from Celebrate Trails Day on April 24, to learning about organic lawn care techniques and steps that can be taken to reduce one’s carbon footprint, and how to generate as little household waste as possible. Sustainable Lawrence and Sustainable Princeton, along with the green teams from West Windsor Township, Hopewell Valley and Trenton, are sponsoring the events. They belong to the Mercer County Sustainability Coalition. Greening Together is a hybrid event that replaces the annual Green Fest at Rider University, said Pam Mount, one of the event organizers. She is a member of Sustainable Lawrence, which sponsored the first sustainability fair in Mercer County in 2006. The event has grown and evolved into a countywide fair. “For the last four years, the Mercer County Sustainability Coalition held the Green Fest at Rider University, but we had to cancel it last year because Rider was locked down (in response to the pandemic). It was sad not to have it,” Mount said. Greening Together, which is the new name for Green Fest, will feature a mix of hands-on and virtual events, Mount said. All events are free, but participants must register the online talks at www.mercersustainabilitycoalition.org. Greening Together kicks off April 24 with Celebrate Trails Day. People can take a walk on the Lawrence Hopewell Trail – a pedestrian and bicycle trail that connects Lawrence and Hopewell townships – or visit one of the parks in the Mercer County park system. This includes the Mercer Meadows/Pole Farm park on Cold Soil Road in Lawrence. Also on April 24, Sustainable Princeton is holding a sustainable landscaping miniexpo at the Princeton Shopping Center from noon to 3 p.m. Attendees can learn about organic lawn care techniques and electric landscaping equipment.

Members of the Pennington Borough Council have scheduled a public hearing on the 2021 municipal budget for May 3. The Pennington Council introduced the budget on April 5. Council President Catherine Chandler, Councilwoman Deborah Gnatt, Councilwoman Beverly Mills, Councilwoman Liz Semple, and Councilman Ken Gross voted “yes” to introduce the budget. Councilman Charles Marciante was the dissenting vote in the meeting. “This is not the year to be raising taxes. The school board realizes it this year, they are not doing it,” Marciante said on April 5. “People are moving out of Pennington as soon as their children get out of school. I’m not happy with a budget that goes up 2%. I think it is crazy to be raising taxes again. Count on it if you bring that budget up I am voting no.” Pennington’s municipal appropriations are increasing from $3.82 million in 2020 to $4.49 million in the 2021 budget. The borough’s residential and commercial owners support the municipal appropriations through a tax levy. In 2021, the tax levy is projected to be $2.70 million, an increase from 2020’s $2.57 million. The 2020 budget totaled $3.82 million. Residential and commercial property owners paid a total tax levy of $2.40 million to support the budget. In 2021, the municipal tax rate is projected to be 49 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. The owner of a home that is still assessed at $484,000 pays $2,371 in municipal taxes. The municipal tax rate increased by two cents from 47 cents in 2020. An owner of a home assessed at $484,000 paid $2,274 in 2020 municipal taxes. Municipal taxes are one item on a property owner’s total tax bill, which also includes school taxes and Mercer County taxes. See COUNCIL, Page 7A

New Jersey Clean Energy Program and the founder of C-Change, who will talk about the science of global climate change. The Hopewell Valley and West Windsor green teams are joining forces April 26 to explain how to conduct a home waste audit, and steps that attendees can take to minimize the amount of waste they generate in their daily activities. Topics include plastic-free living, reuseable gift bags and how to turn food and yard waste into compost. Trenton’s Green Team will talk about plans for transit-oriented development, Complete Streets programs and an electric vehicle mobility program in a seminar set for April 27. The topic is Clean Transportation in the Capital City Region. Water – flooding and its impact on water quality – is the topic for April 28, sponsored by the Lawrence Township Environmental and Green Advisory Committee, the Friends of Colonial Lake Park and The Watershed Institute. Mount said that a documentary, “From a Creek and a Meadow,” which tells the story of Lawrence Township’s Colonial Lake and the Shabakunk Creek, will lend a local neighborhood perspective. “Colonial Lake advocate Tom Ritter’s documentary paints a vivid picture of the strong bond that the residents of the Lakelands neighborhood have had with Colonial Lake Park and Colonial Lake for the last 97 years,” Mount said. Green Infrastructure in Your Neighborhood is the topic for April 29, and a followup to the previous day’s session on flooding and its impact on water quality. It is also being presented by the Lawrence Township Environmental and Green Advisory Committee and The Watershed Institute. Speakers from The Watershed Institute will explain how homeowners and neighborhoods can use trees, plants and soil to capture and clean polluted storm water runoff in their own back yards. For family-friendly fun April 29, Rider University’s eco-reps will challenge participants to test their “green knowledge” in a fun and friendly way in the Ultimate Green Trivia Kahoot.

County Park Commission will lead the discussion. And for children, there will be a presentation called “Trees are Terrific” by a representative from the Mercer County Park Commission. Children will learn to identify tree species, based on the tree’s bark, leaves and other characteristics. ” ‘Greening Together’ will be a creative, unique and different event. People can get involved who never got involved before. Being able to choose from Zoom lectures is a good way to get information out to people,” Mount said.

design team consultant at this point is after the meeting, we will have a regroup with the stakeholders and summarize what has taken place up to this point. What this will do is conclude with the program recommendations for the stakeholders at the end of this phase,” Kataryniak said. They will move into the next phase called the alternative analysis, where program elements will be put together and the locations determined and establish the layout’s actual building size. “We will be working with the working groups of the stakeholders to hammer out the preliminary details of the buildings. Another public meeting will be planned for the alternatives phase before we go too far along in finalizing,” he added.

Arts Council of Princeton Artistic Director Maria Evans

ike a good neighbor, the Arts Council of Princeton is there – to re-phrase a certain insurance company slogan. During these past 13 months, the Arts Council of Princeton (ACP), located only a block from my apartment, has been a great neighbor to me – and to thousands of others – by providing invaluable assurance that smiling (albeit behind a mask) is still possible. And key to this assurance policy has been a wall, not a border wall of concrete and electronics to keep people out, but rather an outdoor picture wall of artistic design and inspiring messaging to draw people in. Although the entire arts council staff deserves a standing ovation, I would like to focus on ACP’s Artistic Director Maria Evans, who for 20 years has been a valued member of the arts council staff and for the past year has been the primary force behind leaving artistic gifts of whimsy and encouragement on Princeton’s streets. With a master’s degree in fine arts, Maria started at the arts council as an office support assistant and instructor; she soon was promoted to administrative jobs (gallery manager, community arts manager), and since 2010, she has been serving as artistic director, a position that allowed her to spread the joy of art to a much larger classroom – the entire community. The most recent manifestation of Maria’s public art talent are outdoor wall murals and the new exhibit at Dohm Alley. They are pandemic-safe arts treasures that have created and continue to create a much needed buzz of optimism. When the world shut down in March 2020, Maria and ACP’s Marketing Manager Melissa Kuscin put on their thinking caps and masks and brainstormed how to reach the community in times when no one was supposed to be actually reaching anyone. “In April of 2020, we started the mask project Sew Many Masks. We invited the community to pick up mask-making supplies at the arts council, make the masks, and then the completed masks were made available at the arts council – free of charge,” said Maria.

“Melissa and I felt the need to do more, something bold and positive and uplifting and outside. We were moved by the Black Lives Matter movement – the signs, the posters and most of all the street art that emerged from the awful circumstances of the death of George Floyd. A public art mural, we concluded, would fit our goals,” said Maria, who reached out to then Mayor Liz Lempert for help, because of the mayor’s commitment to public art in Princeton. After looking around town for a big unencumbered surface, “we came up with the perfect location, the Spring Street wall/façade on the Village Silver building on the corner of Witherspoon and Spring Street,” said Maria. She reached out to Michael Gale, vice president of real estate operations for Genesis Investment Properties, the owners of the Village Silver building with the perfect wall. “Mr. Gale loved the idea, the Princeton Public Art Committee on which I serve approved the project, and we did our first public mural as ‘Stronger Together,’ the message that we thought was most appropriate for the times.

enormously talented artist, muralist, a set designer at McCarter, and volunteer at the Arts Council, helped with the design and implementation of this message,” said Maria. Keith Colman of Hamilton Building Supply donated all the Masonite for the job. The building surface was unsuitable for painting, and the arts council had to build a frame and Masonite surface. Hamilton Building Supply also donates materials for the Parklet program, also Maria’s bailiwick, a project of creating cozy outdoor seating in front of a local retailer, who sponsors the space. In the past, a parklet has been at Small World Coffee and Jazam’s, and this year a parklet was just installed at Chez Alice on Palmer Square. The next mural that wowed everyone was “VOTE” – that became “VOTED” af-

ter the election. In the POW and POP style of pop artist Roy Lichtenstein, the VOTE mural wowed everyone. The current public art mural is “Love Local” in support of the buy-local movement in the downtown. Since this was painted in the winter, the challenge was to find a day for painting it that was not bitterly cold. The next mural is about to be launched and will reflect spring themes of new life and hope, said Maria. The walls of Dohm Alley (off of Nassau Street between Starbucks and the former Landau’s shop) are the stage for a brand new public art exhibition that was installed last week and will remain in place through October. Although under the auspices of Maria, the creative force behind this project is the 2021 Anne Reeves Arts Council of Princeton Artist-in-Residence Robin Resch, who is a fine art photographer. Robin loves the idea of using Nassau Street’s Dohm Alley as the setting for the photographic exhibition, titled “Taking Pause,” because the name is also a desired reaction, for residents and other visitors to the space to take a pause to view her collaborative visual meditation. The art is about the subjects of the photographs – and also the viewers of the photographs – reflecting on objects that are personally essential and irreplaceable to them. The exhibition is based on a three-level approach: the image of the person; the object that the individual selected; and a personal statement about the object. “The project definitely is in response to the challenges of this year and the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Maria. And my response to this Dohm Alley exhibition and to the mural project is simply “thanks, arts council, for being my neighbor.”

HEALTH MATTERS By Nicole Orro, LPC, LCADC

Pandemic Stress Leading People to Turn to Alcohol Alcohol consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic appears to have increased as more people have turned to alcohol to cope with the stress and anxiety associated with the virus, according to recent surveys. And while with rising vaccination rates there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel, feelings of stress and anxiety will likely linger for some time even after life returns to a post-pandemic normal. This could mean that people will continue to view alcohol as a means to cope. Drinking, however, is not a healthy coping mechanism. Using alcohol to deal with stress could ultimately lead to dependence, harm your health, and have a significant impact on many aspects of your life. If you or a loved one is struggling to deal with the mental health impact of COVID-19, help is available. Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health provides specialized treatment programs for people of all ages who are experiencing mental health issues, substance abuse problems, or a combination of both. Stress and COVID-19 There is little question that almost everyone has experienced some degree of pandemic-related stress over the past year.

People have feared contracting the virus and have worried about others getting sick. Social distancing measures have left both adults and children unable to connect in person with family and friends, which has led to feelings of isolation. Parents have felt overwhelmed juggling work from home and virtual schooling for their kids. Feelings of loss and grief have been pervasive and a sense of uncertainty about what the future holds has persisted each day. The stress is real, and it has real consequences. As the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes, when stress is overwhelming it can cause: • Feelings of fear, anger, sadness, worry, numbness or frustration. • Changes in appetite, energy, desires, and interests. • Difficulty concentrating and making decisions. • Difficulty sleeping or nightmares. • Physical reactions, such as headaches,

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!

ON THE ROAD

Friday, April 23, 2021F

PETER PERROTTA

2021 Subaru Forester Sport

f the 2021 Subaru Forester were a football player, it would most definitely be an all-purpose running back. You know, the kind of running back that could not only pick up some tough yards when needed, but could block and catch passes as well – a good all-around utilitarian player. For me that’s what the Subaru brand is all about. They provide you with a good-looking, rugged Peter Perrotta crossover with a tried-and-true four-wheel drive system able to perform well off-road or in the snow and mud. Inside Subaru ergonomics are designed for practicality so they work well there – they are generally comfortable and able to handle a good amount of cargo. Moreover, pricewise they won’t bust your wallet. So, all around, they check all the necessary boxes. I recently put the 2021 Subaru Forester Sport to the test for one week of driving adventure and came away with generally what I expected. The fifth generation Forester comes in five different trim levels: base, premium, Sport, Limited and Touring. I drove the Sport model for one week which came in an attractive Dark Blue Pearl color with orange trim accents in the interior. For the most part, this Forester is a joy to drive. It handles reasonably well in all kinds of weather. It has ample cargo space for a compact crossover. It’s comfortable and is fairly smooth to drive and its interior ergonomics are well designed and are fairly easy to operate. However, if you are looking for the “Wow” sizzle factor this may not be the crossover for you. While this Forester is well designed for many different functions, for me it’s a bit conservative in its approach. The editors at Car and Driver seem to concur. They gave the 2021 Forester high marks for being “thoroughly practical” and having a roomy interior and being a “comfortable cruiser”. But, Car and Driver handed the Forester low marks for having “slow acceleration times” and “boring” exterior styling. It also said that the base model was “quite basic.” I didn’t find this Forester to be slow, though. Powered by a 2.5 liter Subaru boxer engine that puts out 182 horsepower at 176 pound feet of torque, this Forester is quick enough to handle most driving situations well. Now, this is not a performance-type vehicle – like a BMW X1 or X3 – but for what it is, I felt it was adequately powered and handled at an above average grade. Let’s be honest. The type of consumer a crossover like the Forester is going to attract is going to bring to the table

a much different demographic than the BMW or Mercedes crowd. The Forester is for the active lifestyle crowd who have a kid or two and a dog and want to go kayaking in the mountains on the weekend. For that, this is an excellent all-around vehicle and should be high on your list if that is what you are seeking. The Sport Forester I drove carries a base sticker price of $29,395. It also has an option package for $1,645 and a $1,050 charge for destination and delivery, so the bottomline sticker price came in at $32,090. The option package included an upgraded Subaru Starlink 8-inch touch screen multi-media system and a 576watt 9 speaker Harman/Kardon sound system. So, for the base price of $29,395 on the Sport Forester you get a ton of standard equipment. I think, for the money, the Forester offers a good value. The EPA fuel consumption ratings on this Forester come in at 29 miles per gallon overall – 33 mpg in highway driving and 26 around town. The EPA estimates that it will cost you about $1,400 per year for run the Forester as it uses about 3.4 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. On the government’s 5-star safety ratings crash test, the Forester scored an impressive 5 out of 5 – the highest rank. It received a 5-star rating in the frontal crash test as well as the side crash test and 4 stars in the rollover test. The Forester scored a 6 out of 10 on the EPA’s fuel economy and greenhouse gas rating and a 6 out of 10 on the smog rating. Peter Perrotta’s On The Road column appears weekly.

body pains, stomach problems and skin rashes. • Worsening of chronic health problems. • Worsening of mental health conditions. • Increased use of tobacco, alcohol and other substances. Increase in Alcohol Use While it is still too early to report definitively, early research suggests that alcohol use has increased in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The American Psychological Association released a survey last month that found that nearly 1 in 4 adults (23%) reported drinking more to deal with their stress. This percentage jumps to more than half of adults (52%) who are parents with young children between 5 and 7 years old. Further, a separate study published in December in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found that nearly two-thirds of the study participants reported that their drinking had increased compared to their consumption prior to COVID-19. Moreover, more than a third of respondents reported engaging in binge drinking and 7% reported engaging in extreme binge drinking. Most (45%) attributed their alcohol use to increased stress. Warning Signs The 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that adults of legal drinking age can choose not to drink, or to drink in moderation by limiting intake to two drinks or less in a day for men or one drink or less in a day for women, on days when alcohol is consumed. However, even prior to the pandemic, 2 in 3 adult drinkers reported drinking above moderate levels at least once a month. While not everyone who drinks will develop a problem, warning signs of a disorder, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, can include: • Drinking more or longer than you intended. • Wanting or trying to stop drinking, but are unable. • Drinking – or being sick from drinking – interfering with taking care of your home or family and causing problems at work or school. • Continuing to drink even though it makes you feel depressed or anxious. • Experiencing cravings or strong urges to drink. • Experiencing withdrawal symptoms – trouble sleeping, shakiness, irritability, restlessness, nausea or sweating – as the effects of alcohol wear off. If you are concerned about your drinking or are feeling overwhelmed by stress, talk with your doctor or seek help from a mental health professional. Princeton House Behavioral Health offers intensive outpatient programs to help adults, young adults, and adolescents who struggle with substance abuse and other mental health conditions. Treatment includes a comprehensive evaluation by a board certified psychiatrist; evidencebased treatment; medication evaluation and management as needed; group and individual therapy; family education groups; and expressive therapies like art and music. Healthy Coping Tips As the COVID-19 pandemic continues into its second year, it is only natural to feel some level of stress and anxiety. Rather than using alcohol to help manage those feelings, the CDC offers the following healthy coping tips: • Take breaks from watching, reading or listening to news stories, including those on social media. It’s good to be informed, but hearing about the pandemic constantly can be upsetting. Consider limiting news to just a couple times a day and disconnecting from phone, TV and computer screens for a while. • Take care of your body. Take deep breaths, stretch or meditate. Try to eat healthy, well-balanced meals. Exercise regularly and get plenty of sleep. Continue with routine preventive measures (such as vaccinations, cancer screenings, etc.) as recommended by your healthcare provider. Get a COVID-19 vaccine, when available. • Make time to unwind. Try to do activities you enjoy and that are different from your work or parenting responsibilities. • Connect with others. Talk with people you trust about your concerns and how you are feeling. • Connect with local community – or faith-based organizations. While social distancing measures are in place, try connecting online, through social media, or by phone or mail.

Hopewell Valley News 7A

By Huck Fairman

Warnings and Necessary Steps In the last week, warnings from several sources were issued about the planet’s future. And along with them came strong recommendations for what should be done. As a necessary early step, President Joe Biden is scheduled soon to hold a virtual climate summit with world leaders. Its purpose is to reduce emissions in order to increase the hope, and likelihood, that the nations of the world will limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. If they don’t succeed, people around the world will face life-threatening conditions. We’ve seen the beginnings of these threats globally in the last several years. President Biden’s climate envoy, John Kerry, recently visited China for talks on the issue, and they have reached an agreement to deal with climate change. This could be a very important step, as China currently accounts for 28% of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions; the United States contributes 15%. Unfortunately, China continues to build coal-powered energy plants, despite coal being a leading source of carbon dioxide emissions. We will have to wait and watch to see what they actually do. Kerry noted, however, that pretty much the entire world is falling short in reducing emissions. In response, President Biden is expected to announce more “ambitious plans” for reducing our emissions.

But within days of these announcements, the United States National Intelligence Council released its 4-year assessment of where the world appears headed, Global Trends. Its predictions are not optimistic. Washington experts who have read this and prior reports “do not recall a gloomier one.” And the authors of the report are not looking at only several trends, but at all of the major developments in most human activities around the globe. By the way, the 2008 Global Trends report warned of the potential emergence of a pandemic originating in East Asia and spreading rapidly around the world. Among the threats are: climate change, aging populations, disease, financial crises, political and governing turmoil, a decline in international cooperation, challenging technologies or their absence, and a gap between expectations and realities. While several decades ago democracy appeared to be spreading in many parts of the world, today autocracies are increasing in number. “Strong men” have taken control of many nations. Possibly the greatest challenge of this sort is China’s dictatorship vying to gain influence around the world, at the expense of democracies and international cooperation, doing so by often ignoring international law and human rights. Perhaps the climate agreement will lead to other ones on a number of issues.

But the Global Trends report raises the question: are governments, global institutions and societies capable of understanding the many threats and responding to them in time? Our country is significantly divided politically and ideologically, and that is the case in many other nations. Political discourse has become “poisonous.” The internet and associated technologies have allowed the dissemination of misinformation and lies, rendering populations doubting and mistrustful of governments. As many readers know, segments of our population will not take the vaccinations, extending the threat of and turmoil from the disease. Many of those same doubters disparage reports of climate change, despite verifiable temperature rises, melting glaciers and sea ice, wildfires and droughts. What to do? Serious talks and agreements, as we see with China, but among all parties, are essential, certainly. Yet a former principal editor of Global Trends, Matthew Burrows, argues strongly that the necessary leadership “has to come from the executive branch. You have to have a driving force to compel agencies to engage in long-term planning.” We are seeing that leadership in New Jersey’s governor and our president. But in order to adequately, and in time, prepare for that planning, we need at the state, national, and regional levels, the means, the research and resources, and maybe above all, the leadership, to anticipate and respond to trends and challenges such as are now gripping our world.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

2021 Reflections on Earth Day ”People must feel that the natural world is important and valuable and beautiful and wonderful and an amazement and a pleasure.” – David Attenborough, steward of the Earth What a perfect time of year this is to celebrate the beauty and the importance of our life-sustaining Earth. Newly greened trees, the songs of birds, colorful flowers that make us smile, and the rejuvenation of farm fields – all of these miracles create new hope. This Earth Day, I find myself reflecting on the legacy of people who have cared for our Earth. For it’s in the little things we do every day, the causes we support, and the choices we make in how we live our lives, that we become integral to the Earth’s stewardship. David Attenborough, Earth steward, declares, “People must feel that the natural world is important and valuable and beautiful and wonderful and an amazement and a pleasure.” Here in Central New Jersey, D&R Greenway remembers hometown heroes from our preservation family whom we have lost this year and whose impacts are longstanding: People like Bill Swain who, as an early trustee, shepherded our first land preservation transactions;

Every name has a story behind it, each inspiring us to do our part. Without Earth and the people who care for it, where would we be? Yes, we’ve landed on the Moon and Mars. But Earth is our home, sustaining life as we know it. Let’s use this Earth Day to recommit to its protection – every day. Tell me – what will you do to celebrate Earth Day?

Pennington School junior selected to interdisciplinary learning experience

Friday, April 23, 2021F

Edited by Rich Norris and Joyce Nichols Lewis

“FOUR OF A KIND” By PAUL COULTER

Pennington School student Daisy Hutnik

Pennington School junior Daisy Hutnik was accepted into the New Jersey Scholars Program (NJSP), a highly selective summer program that brings together rising high school seniors for a five-week interdisciplinary learning experience. NJSP selects 39 of the most motivated and high-achieving students in New Jersey to gather at the Lawrenceville School to learn from college professors. The theme of this year’s program is “Mind and Body: The Future of Being Human,” and Hutnik is eager to explore these themes in NJSP’s discussion-based, experiential environment. “I hope I can walk away from this program having gained more confidence to make the choices which inform my own future,” Daisy said in a statement provided by the Pennington School. The Hopewell resident sees the program as a great opportunity to be pushed out of her comfort zone. “I believe that there’s no better way to do that than to surround yourself with new viewpoints and positions which you hadn’t previously considered,” she said in the statement. “With any luck, my beliefs will be broken down and changed countless times over the course of the program.”

FUNERAL HOME

HONORED ROLES Those chosen for the honored position of pallbearer usually include close family or friends, although colleagues of the deceased or anyone else may serve. Corresponding to the six handles on a casket (three on each side), there are six pallbearers, although handles on the front and back sides of the casket allow for two additional people to carry the casket. In addition to considering the person’s relationship to the deceased, physical ability must also be taken into account. If a person is deemed unable to physically participate in the pallbearer’s role, he or she can be designated an “honorary pallbearer.” There is no limit to honorary pallbearers, who can walk in front of, beside, or behind the casket.

It’s never easy being the person having to make decisions for a funeral after someone you love passes away. Surround yourself with people who care about you and can help you with whatever need arises. This includes selecting the best pallbearers. To learn more about the memorial and funeral services we offer, please call 609-737-2900. We are located at 21 North Main St. Continuous Family Service Since 1881.

“Temple Health is a nationally recognized leader in health care and the perfect partner to complement the innovative surgical services offered at Capital Health, such as liver auto-transplant surgery, bloodless liver surgery, and roboticassisted surgery across our service lines,” said Al Maghazehe, PhD, FACHE, President and CEO of Capital Health. “Similarly, Temple University Hospital patients who are approved candidates will receive their procedures at Capital Health but will receive pre- and post-surgery care and related diagnostic tests close to home at Temple University Hospital under the direction of both Temple and Capital Health physicians. Through this affiliation with Temple, we’re thrilled to provide patients access to the most innovative liver surgery and transplant options in a way that keeps them closer to home and their loved ones throughout their course of treatment.” “We are pleased to be collaborating with Capital Health on a unique affiliation that will benefit patients from both institutions, said Michael A. Young, MHA, FACHE, President and CEO of Temple University Health System and Temple University

Hospital. “Capital Health patients will now have access to Temple’s liver transplant program, which is home to some of the nation’s foremost liver specialists, and Temple patients will now have access to additional treatment options for liver abnormalities through Capital Health.” Capital Health offers bloodless liver surgery and liver auto-transplant surgery performed by Cataldo Doria, MD, PhD, MBA, FACS, an internationally renowned hepato-pancreato-biliary surgeon who helped develop these innovative techniques. As part of this new partnership, Temple patients who are candidates for these advanced surgical procedures will be referred to Capital Health. Temple University Hospital’s team has decades of experience in caring for patients with chronic liver diseases, including hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease and liver cancer as well as those suffering from drug toxicity or a rare metabolic disease. Temple’s highly skilled, multidisciplinary team is led by Antonio Di Carlo, MD, CM, FACS, FRCSC, Associate Professor of Surgery at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University (LKSOM) and Chief of Abdominal Organ Transplant Surgery at Temple University Hospital; and Lee F. Peng, MD, PhD, Chief of Hepatology and Associate Professor of Medicine at LKSOM, and Medical Director of Liver Transplantation at Temple University Hospital. As part of the new collaboration, Temple patients with pancreatic cancer who are appropriate candidates will also have access to complex open and roboticassisted Whipple procedures performed by Dr. Doria.

Mercer County bike drive supports Boys & Girls Clubs The Mercer County Park Commission and Mercer County Planning Department worked together to organize a bike drive to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Mercer County Bike Exchange. The joint effort hauled in 400 bikes, the largest and most successful collection in the Bike Exchange’s 12-year history, County Executive Brian M. Hughes said in a prepared statement. “I thank the community for their enormous generosity in donating 400 bicycles for our bike drive for the Boys & Girls Clubs Bike Exchange,” Hughes said in the statement. “I also thank our Park Commission and Planning Department for coordinating the effort.” “This collaborative effort helps build a bigger community for those interested in learning how to ride a bike, or to obtain one at an affordable price,” Park Commission Executive Director Aaron T. Watson said in the statement. “We are thrilled with the turnout from the event and hope to see this effort expand more within our park system.” The Bike Exchange, located in the Capitol Plaza Shopping Center on Olden Avenue in Ewing, collects used bikes to refurbish and sell at a discounted rate. Its goal is to promote health and biking, and all proceeds go to support the Boys & Girls Clubs of Mercer County. The Park Commission set up the drive at three locations in Hopewell Township, West Windsor and Hamilton to make donating easier for people throughout the county. Donors also dropped off tires, air pumps and bicycle helmets. The Bike Exchange is open Thursdays from 5-7:45 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. It is a volunteer-led establishment and will accept bikes in any condition for donation.
