71 East Broad, LLC to re-notice again to continue Hopewell Borough public hearing

By ANDREW HARRISON

Staff Writer

Representatives for a proposed commercial retail and restaurant project at 71 E. Broad St. are re-noticing, after a noticing deficiency was discovered

by Hopewell Borough Planning Board officials, prior to the carried application’s public hearing on Nov. 4.

The planning board was unable to hear additional testimony for the application for the proposed project at the corner of East Broad Street and Maple Street on Nov. 4, due to the deficiency. The next scheduled planning board meeting is set for Dec. 2 at 7 p.m.

Planning Board Secretary Maggie Schmitt said representatives for the application will start testimony from the beginning when the public hearing does resume.

The proposed project would renovate an existing structure for commercial retail and restaurant space formally occupied by Castoro & Company Inc. as an automobile service station, according to application documents, and would be phase one of a twophased project on the property.

The project is facing certain pushback from neighbors, which was on display at the Nov. 4 meeting and arose again in discussions during the Borough Council meeting on Nov. 5.

Brad Evans, property owner at Columbia Avenue whose backyard would face the completed project, spoke to some of community concerns about the project to the council, which included improved community input.

“There is broad community interest and a desire for some imaginative thinking on how to have a more proactive stance on the part of the planning board and the council perhaps, about being able to direct in some way, and I do not know what that way is, any kind of redevelopment that would be happening at the 71 E. Broad St. or other properties in town,” he said. “I think there is a sense here of playing catchup and reacting to plans that nobody, from what I can tell on the planning board, and nobody in town that I talked to, appreciates.”

Concerns about the project include the size, parking, hours of operations, noise at the completed project, lighting, landscaping and redevelopment plan for the Castoro property, as stated in letter by surrounding property owners

to the planning board.

“We very specifically excluded an eminent domain option for the borough (redevelopment ordinance) to take someone’s property and very specifically as a council said we want to work on a collaborative basis with the property owner, to do what they think A. is in their best economic interests and balance what we think is the best interest of the community in how these properties are developed,” Mayor Paul Anzano said during the Borough Council meeting.

“There has been nothing that has happened to date where none of those commitments have been ignored. What is before the planning board right now is not a redevelopment plan, it is a variance,” he said. “We are still hoping people at the Castoro lot will file a redevelopment plan that we all can negotiate to benefit the borough property owner and surrounding property owners. We are not at that stage.”

Anzano added that the property is still the applicant’s property.

“This is their property. They should have some significant impact on how the property is developed,” he said. “We have a very legitimate interest as a governing body to make sure it does not go off the rails and harm the community. Right now that is their property and they are devising plans. They have to include us going forward if plans are such that it does not fit into our master plan or long range vision of the borough.”

The renovation of the former service building includes the removal of a portion of the rear of the building and a small addition at the front of the building along East Broad Street. The project would also remove all the service station items currently existing on the 1.8-acre property.

Representatives for the applicant are proposing the demolition of a portion of the 6,624-squarefoot existing building for constructing space of close to 3,900 square feet for a potential restaurant tenant. The building will also serve as office use for 1,139 square feet; a common and mechanical space of a little more than 1,200 square feet; and open air seasonal outdoor dining consisting of 1,016 square feet.

The project would also have covered parking and contain 45 parking spaces for the first phase of the property’s redevelopment.

The applicant is seeking a variance for an existing nonconforming condition for the front setback from Maple Street; a variance for maximum allowable floor area of single retail use (2,500 square feet) in the borough business zone (B-R Zone); and additionally, variances are being requested for size of parking spaces, parking setback, and landscaping buffer, according to documents.

Retired U.S. Army major general to lead Hopewell Township Police Department

By ANDREW HARRISON

Staff Writer

Retired U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Robert Karmazin has been appointed as the new police director of the Hopewell Township Police Department.

He recently retired in October having served as deputy commander, mobilization and reserve affairs in the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida. Karmazin was also the USSOCOM senior representative to the Office of Secretary of Defense task force focusing on enhancing capabilities.

A resolution approving the appointment came before the township committee at a Nov. 9 meeting. Mayor Kristin McLaughlin, Deputy Mayor Michael Ruger, Committeeman Kevin Kuchinski, Committeewoman Julie Blake and Committeewoman Courtney Peters-Manning voted “yes” to approve the measure.

The township committee has not announced a timeframe for how long Karmazin would be the police director of the department.

“I think the short answer is that we do not know. I can’t speak for the committee as a whole, but I do feel comfortable in communicating the intent of our decision, which is to create change in the police department and how ever long that takes and he is needed,” Blake said. “One of the goals that we have for him is to develop leadership in the community and communication and community policing in the department.”

She added that the township committee does not envision the police director position as a replacement position for the position of chief of police.

“I think the chief of police position is the more efficient way to to go and efficient means that you have someone who can oversee the whole department and instill goals,” Blake said. “Police departments have to report to some civilian body. Right now we have

structured it so that it is the police director is a civilian to report to.

Ultimately, we would like it to be the township committee again directly or some other way.”

Karmazin will officially begin his new position on Nov. 12 and is set to receive an annual salary of $150,000, according to the resolution.

“The $150,000 is what we are paying him for the year. If he is here less than a year, he will make less than that,” Blake said.

When asked about a potential concern from residents regarding a retired military official becoming director, Blake stated that Karmazin’s experience in building relationships during his military career made him an intriguing contender and selection for the police director position.

“Of course it was a concern, because what we are doing is actually looking to create access for the community and create dialogue and communication between our residents. He is goal centered and about building relationships,” Blake said. “While Karmazin is military, his job as a special operations general was to work in communities all over the world to create dialogue and teach about policing and how to work within communities.”

Back on Aug. 3, committee members voted unanimously on an ordinance to create the temporary position and begin the search process.

There were 25 applicants, 10 of whom were interviewed.

The establishing of a police director position came after the retirement of former Chief of Police Lance Maloney, who had retired officially on Aug. 1. Maloney’s retirement had followed accusations and investigations of improper social media conduct involving township police officers and employees, which came to light in June and centered around a Facebook post referring to the Black Lives Matter movement as a terrorist organization.

“The investigation is still be-

ing conducted and is still in process now. We are during COVID and there are limitations from hearing officers and the whole process,” Blake said about the investigations and a final conclusion. “I am hoping by the end of the year, but I know the reality of getting people together and having effective results. It is not a healthy department when there is so much hanging over everybody’s head. We would like a result sooner and to move forward.”

The police director does not have any of the powers that are reserved for sworn officers, according to state documents. The powers unavailable for police directors include conducting a motor vehicle stop; stop, detain or arrest individuals; wearing a law enforcement officer uniform; handling any internal investigations or any active cases; and they will not be able to view any videos of active cases.

“The first order of events is he needs to talk with our lawyers about the limits of his role and needs to talk to police and needs to start talking about how to introduce himself and build relationships,” Blake added. “In his interview he had all kinds of really good ideas of how to get in front of people and talk to people in the different communities during COVID.” Lt. William Springer, who has been acting chief of police, will now be named acting officer in charge and be in charge of dayto-day operations regarding policing. Because Springer is the officer in charge he cannot perform the internal affairs function, which is a function he oversaw as the previous internal affairs officer for the department.

The Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office will take over that function for the department with a monitor overseeing the internal affairs for the Hopewell Township police.

Panel discussion will address COVID-19’s affect on homelessness

By LEA KAHN

Staff Writer

There have always been homeless and hungry families in Mercer County, but the combination of the COVID-19 pandemic and economic dislocation has brought more families seeking help to HomeFront, the Lawrence Township-based nonprofit that helps the homeless and the working poor.

HomeFront is bringing together several experts to discuss COVID-19’s impact on homelessness and hunger in a virtual panel discussion at 6 p.m. Nov. 19. The panel discussion, which is co-sponsored by the Princeton Public Library, is being held in conjunction with National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week, which will be observed Nov. 15-22.

The panelists include Sarah Steward, HomeFront’s chief operating officer; Bernie Flynn, the chief executive officer of the Mercer Street Friends, which is a Trentonbased nonprofit whose food bank supplies food to numerous food pantries; and a former HomeFront client who will speak about her personal experiences with hunger and homelessness.

Panelists also include Gregory Stankie-

wicz of the New Jersey Community Schools Coalition, and Emily Lemmerman of Princeton University’s Eviction Lab, which studies the causes and impacts of eviction.

The panelists will focus on how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted people, locally and nationally, who are homeless or who earn very low incomes, as well as the impending eviction crisis.

Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week aims to educate the public and draw attention to the problem of poverty. Its goal is to build a base of volunteers and supporters for groups such as HomeFront and Mercer Street Friends. It was organized in 1975 by Villanova University students, according to its website, www.//hhweek.org.

Connie Mercer, HomeFront’s founder and chief executive officer, said HomeFront is running the speaker panel – along with other ways for the community to get involved – during Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week because the community has shown during the pandemic that it wants to get involved.

“For those who are doing OK, they are aware that many of their neighbors are losing jobs, struggling to pay rent and their other bills, and they want to help. We are

grateful that members of the community have reached out to us and asked what they can do to help,” Mercer said.

There are hundreds of families who, for the first time in their lives, need help to feed their families, pay the rent, or to buy critical necessities such as diapers, Mercer said. Some of those families are former HomeFront donors or volunteers.

HomeFront has experienced an unprecedented increase in need since the pandemic was declared in March, Mercer said. HomeFront has delivered more than 342,000 meals to families who have become homeless and who are living in motels, and at HomeFront’s Family Campus in Ewing Township.

HomeFront also has opened a third food pantry at its FreeStore in Trenton, in addition to its food pantries at the Lawrence Community Center at 295 Eggerts Crossing Road and at its headquarters at 1880 Princeton Ave. HomeFront also has given out nearly 385,000 diapers and wipes.

Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week gives HomeFront a chance to connect with the community and discuss the current situation, and to join together to find ways to help neighbors in need, Mer-

cer said. The panel discussion is one of the four ways to learn more and to get involved, she said.

In addition to the panel discussion, HomeFront is holding a pop-up information and drop-off center at 63 Palmer Square in Princeton on Nov. 15 from noon to 5 p.m. The community can learn more about the situation and how to help. Donations of non-perishable food, coats, diapers, wipes and baby formula will be accepted.

HomeFront also is offering a virtual tour of its headquarters at 1880 Princeton Ave. in Lawrence on Nov. 20 at 3 p.m. and Nov. 21 at 11 a.m.

Finally, HomeFront’s ArtSpace program is holding its annual Art for the Holidays event that highlights artwork created

by HomeFront clients. It showcases work created by clients and local artists to benefit homeless families. Artwork can be purchased online or by appointment.

Visit www.homefrontnj.org for log-in details to the free panel discussion, or call 609-989-9417, ext. 133. For the ArtSpace program, visit www.artjamnj.org. For more information about HomeFront, visit www.homefrontnj.org.

Small businesses can receive discounts on PPE purchases New Jersey-based small businesses and nonprofit organizations with 100 or fewer employees may apply to receive 25% discounts on purchases of personal protective equipment (PPE) from vendors approved by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA).

The discounts are available under Phase 2 of the NJ Small and Micro Business PPE Access Program, which the NJDEA launched on Nov. 10.

Small businesses and organizations in-

terested in receiving 25% discounts must apply at https://covid19.nj.gov/ppeaccess.

Once the NJEDA has confirmed their eligibility, they will receive vouchers for purchases from a “designated vendor” of their choice. This discount will automatically reduce the costs of online purchases the participating small business or organization makes from that designated vendor by 25%. The discounts will expire after 14 days, or on Nov. 30.

During Phase 1 of the program, the

of the breaking news and updates we post each day on the website, you’ll be able to “flip through” each week’s newspapers in their actual format. It’s the next best thing to holding your newspaper in your hands!

NJEDA identified and vetted “designated vendors,” including Boxed, Office Depot and Staples, which have partnered with the authority to create “microsites” where New Jersey-based businesses can purchase a curated selection of PPE products at a 10% discount. The NJEDA also collaborated with the New Jersey Department of Health to create an online PPE Planning Tool that helps businesses understand PPE product requirements and estimate their organizational PPE needs.

Links to the designated vendor microsites and the PPE Planning Tool are available at https://covid19.nj.gov/ppeaccess.

The second phase of the PPE Access Program makes $20.4 million available to subsidize small and micro businesses’ PPE purchases from Staples and Office Depot.

During this phase, businesses with 100 or fewer full-time equivalent employees

(FTEs) can receive grants equal to 25% of the cost of purchases made through these designated vendors. All eligible businesses can receive up to $400 in discounts, and businesses operating in one of New Jersey’s 715 census tracts that were eligible to be designated as Opportunity Zones can receive up to $500.

These grants are applied in addition to the 10% discount offered to all businesses, meaning small businesses can save up to a third of the cost of their PPE purchases.

In addition to the PPE Access Program, the NJEDA administers a variety of grant, low-cost financing, and technical assistance programs for small and midsized businesses impacted by COVID-19.

Comprehensive information about these programs and other state support for businesses impacted by the pandemic is available at https://cv.business.nj.gov.

Don’t Close Your Eyes to Sleep Disorders

y Occasionally, everyone has problems sleeping.

But if you regularly cannot get a good night’s sleep, or your snoring is disrupting the sleep of a loved one, you may suffer from a sleep disorder.

A sleep disorder can adversely affect health, work performance, school and relationships, so it is important to seek professional help.

The Sleep Center at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center offers adults and children comprehensive care for sleep disorders, including diagnosis, treatment, and follow up.

• Sleep apnea: Abnormal breathing patterns during sleep • Restless leg syndrome: Uncomfortable sensations that cause an urge to move the legs • Insomnia: Difficulty falling or staying asleep • Narcolepsy: A neurologic condition causing extreme daytime sleepiness Left untreated, sleep disorders can put a strain on your body and inhibit the proper functioning of your heart, lungs, brain, and even your digestive system.

In addition, failing to get the recommended 7-8 hours of nightly sleep for adults can increase the risk of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and depression. Sleep disorders have also been linked to eye diseases such as glaucoma, memory problems and headaches.

Signs of Sleep Disorder Excessive sleepiness during the day, trouble getting a full night’s sleep, irregular nighttime breathing, gasping or choking in your sleep, snoring, and increased movement at night are all signs of a sleep disorder.

In addition, poor sleep can cause problems with memory or concentration, irritability, sleepiness when driving and hyperactivity in children.

If you have signs of a sleep disorder, talk to your doctor.

Diagnosis and Treatment Diagnosing a sleep disorder typically begins with a sleep study either at home or at a designated sleep center.

Sleep studies help identify problems by assessing brain waves, blood oxygen levels, your heart rate and breathing, as well as eye and leg movement.

Once diagnosed, sleep disorders are usually treatable, with solutions ranging from changing your sleep habits to medication to a device known as a CPAP to improve breathing during sleep.

Patients with obstructive sleep apnea who do not respond well to CPAP or other treatment options may be candidates for a minimally invasive procedure that involves surgically implanting a device that works to sense breathing patterns and deliver mild stimulation to maintain an open airway and promote regular breathing during sleep.

For a select group of patients, this procedure may provide a better quality of life and long-term relief from their obstructive sleep apnea symptoms.

Healthy Sleep Habits • Wait until you are sleepy to go to bed. This reduces your time awake in bed worrying about sleep. You might find it helpful to follow a ritual of relaxing activities before bedtime, such as taking a bath or reading a book.

• Keep a regular schedule. Go to bed and get up at the same times every day, even on weekends and holidays.

Regular times for meals and other activities also help keep the body’s internal clock on schedule.

• Make your bedroom cool, quiet, dark and comfortable. Room-darkening shades, earplugs or a soft “whitenoise” machine, and an open window with comfortable blankets can help you achieve these ideal sleeping conditions.

• Don’t read, write, eat or watch TV in bed. Your bed should be associated with sleep. That way, when you go to bed, your body knows it is time for sleep.

• Avoid caffeine, alcohol and nicotine for at least four hours prior to bedtime. While alcohol may help you fall asleep, it causes poor quality sleep later in the night. Caf-

feine and nicotine are both stimulants that can keep you from falling asleep.

• Avoid vigorous exercise within four hours of bedtime. Intensive exercise is important earlier in the day, but too close to bedtime it can stimulate the body and cause trouble falling asleep.

• Don’t eat a heavy meal right before bedtime.

• Don’t use sleeping pills or over-the-counter sleep aids for prolonged periods. Becoming dependent on sleep medicine can interfere with the body’s natural ability to fall asleep and stay asleep.

• Don’t take naps. Skipping naps will help ensure you are tired at bedtime. If you do nap, try to limit it to 20 or 30 minutes, and wake up before 3 p.m.

• Try to get a full night of sleep as often as possible. Give yourself the opportunity to sleep at least seven to eight hours each night. Good sleep leads to more good sleep.

People have so many demands on their time, they often feel that failing to get a full night’s sleep is natural and that they can catch up on sleep later.

If you are not dedicating enough time in your schedule for a good night’s sleep, you need to make the time. If you make those adjustments and are still not getting a good night’s sleep, a medical evaluation is in order.

With prompt diagnosis and effective treatment, you can sleep, feel and live better.

Rent Parties n this time of high angst over the state of our democracy, job security, fiscal resources, housing insecurity/potential eviction, and, of course, our health during a raging pandemic, I have had the best time going to a party, albeit a virtual one. The celebration is known as a “rent party,” an annual event hosted by Housing Initiatives of Princeton (HIP). It all sounds like a cruel oxymoron, since celebratory party and rent and eviction and pandemic are words that seem completely at odds with one another.

But it all makes perfect sense to those aficionados of Housing Initiatives of Princeton, which since 2004 has been helping low-income families avoid homelessness by providing service-enriched transitional housing and rental assistance programs.

I always thought that HIP’s annual rent party was simply a vehicle to raise money so HIP could help its clients, on the verge of becoming homeless, pay their rent. My epiphany about rent parties occurred, however, after a conversation I had with Princeton University’s Wallace Best, a featured guest at this year’s HIP Rent Party.

The director of the university’s Gender and Sexuality Studies Program and professor of religion and African American studies, Dr. Best explained that “in 2020, HIP’s rent party, is a fundraiser to benefit those whose lives are threatened by the loss of their home, but it also is so much more. It

F

has a rich history and reflects community and humanity at their best.”

A rent party, according to Professor Best, a specialist in African American religious history of the 19th and 20th centuries, is no new phenomenon. Born in the 1920s in Harlem, the rent party was a joyful community gathering hosted by tenants who were having problems paying their rent. The rent-insecure tenants would arrange for food and drink and live musicians at a time when Harlem, a very tight-knit community, was blessed with incredible musical talent. The host would invite people of all ages and backgrounds to come together for dancing, drinking, eating and joyful socializing. There was a small entrance fee and the proceeds were used to pay the host’s rent.

Rent parties had a “curious dual function” said Professor Best, who noted his own family’s housing insecurity of his youth in Washington, D.C. “Its first purpose was to provide a good time on Friday or Saturday night; the parties were known to be the highlight of the week. … And of course, the second purpose was to keep people in their home.

But the overarching quality of the parties was community – people helping their neighbors, people enjoying their friends and neighbors. No one was embarrassed to need help, no one felt awkward giving help. In fact, people were eager to help –

and to have such a good time at the same time.”

Black tenants in Harlem during the 1920s and 1930s faced discriminatory rental rates. That, along with the generally lower salaries for Black workers, created a situation in which many people were short of rent money. The rent parties were originally meant to bridge that gap.

“Rent parties were the great equalizer, mixing all economic classes – physicians and the janitors danced next to one another with equal amounts of joy,” he said.

Professor Best became enamored with the rent party concept, when he was researching the writings of Langston Hughes, the internationally renowned American poet, social activist, novelist, playwright and columnist. Professor Best discovered Harlem through the eyes of Langston Hughes, who painted Harlem with words that left an indelible imprint upon the sensibility of Dr. Best.

“Rent parties fascinated Langston Hughes – and as a result I became fascinated as well. Rent parties seemed to disappear after the Depression but returned in the post-war era – with a little less pizzazz because the parties featured recorded music rather than live music from Harlem’s legendary jazz talents,” Dr. Best said.

Mr. Hughes collected Harlem Rent Party cards that advertised the parties and the featured musical entertainment at the party. At the top of the cards were lyrics from popular songs or made-up rhyming verses that intrigued the poet Langston Hughes,

who considered these cards a physical manifestation of the Harlem he knew and loved so well.

Translating the Harlem Rent Party of the 1920s to modern day Princeton, particularly during a pandemic, is somewhat of a “challenge, but in fact, the Rent Parties are more important than ever before in HIPs history,” said Carol Golden, chair of HIP. The 2020 rent party maybe is different from the rent party in the 1920s, but the underlying principle of the event is the same – “neighbors helping neighbors with rent in times of need.”

The series of Rent Party videos featuring speakers and jazz music is no substitute for an in-person gathering of people, but it has served the valuable goal of entertaining participants while informing people of “the dire need to respond to housing insecurity,” said Ms. Golden.

In New Jersey, since 1960, rents have risen 61 percent, while incomes have only grown by 5 percent. Half of New Jersey’s one million renters are worried about making the rent. We know housing is health — and the COVID-19 crisis has confirmed it.

Access to a safe and affordable home during this pandemic has literally been a matter of life and death, she noted. And a rent party may be just what the doctor – and the musician – ordered.

Mercer County provides residents with free at-home tests for COVID-19

By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer

Mercer County residents will now be able to receive free at-home tests for COVID-19.

Through a partnership with Vault Medical Services of New Jersey, county residents, first responders and healthcare workers can sign up for a free at-home saliva collection test to determine if an individual is infected with COVID-19.

The county is providing the at home option after a service contract was approved by the Mercer County Board of Chosen Freeholders for close to $358,000 in late September. The contract is being funded by a grant from the state’s Coronavirus Relief Fund.

“We can’t put a number on how many tests will be available, but Mercer County will continue to offer testing for COVID-19 until our grant funding runs out,” said Michael Boonin, Deputy director of communications. “One state grant covers the current contract the county has for at-home and pop-up testing, which is with Vault Medical Services. We plan on extending testing through an additional state grant.”

Saliva tests for residents are only available for people 14 years of age and older and is not an antibody test, according to the county. The tests will be conducted with supervision of a Zoom video telehealth visit by a Vault healthcare provider.

Once the saliva is collected it is to be shipped to Rutgers Clinical Genomic Laboratory in Piscataway for testing with results expected and returned in 72 hours.

“After the at-home testing program was launched last week, some people requested multiple test kits. We want to clarify that an individual can request only one test kit at a time,” Boonin said. “We’re still working on determining the maximum number of test kits that an individual can request over a set period of time. We’re planning to post an FAQ on the county website that answers the questions people might have about the current testing program.”

Individuals who seek to request one of the saliva testing kits must be able to provide proof of residency or employment.

The partnership with Vault Medical Services does not end with the at-home saliva tests kits, but will continue in an additional capacity with COVID-19 testing occurring at mobile testing sites.

The mobile sites are being designed to visit various municipalities in the county.

“The county hopes to get a pop-up mobile site started within the next two weeks.

County Executive Brian Hughes wants to target underserved areas of the county, as we did when pop-up sites were part of the testing program the county provided in the spring,” Boonin said. “At that time, pop-up sites were offered in pockets of the City of Trenton and in Hightstown.”

“While the coronavirus pandemic has changed the delivery method for the competition, it actually allows us to have entries globally,” Lisa Teach ’02, ’09, director of Rider’s Center for Entrepreneurial Studies and a visiting professor, said in a prepared statement. “This is my third year managing this competition after serving as a judge previously, and I am continually blown away by the creativity we’re seeing from the high school students.”

Entrants must submit a 400 word description of their product or service at rider.edu/BrodskyCompetition by Nov. 15.

High school seniors must also apply to Rider to be eligible for the scholarship.

The top five finalists from each group will present their ideas in front of a panel of judges virtually and the winner will be announced on Jan. 30, 2021.

The competition is sponsored by alumnus and entrepreneur Norm Brodsky ’64, the namesake of Rider’s business school, the Norm Brodsky College of Business, and his wife and business partner, Elaine.

It is open to students who apply to Rider with any major because Norm Brodsky believes that entrepreneurship can be found in any person and any industry, according to the statement.

“I wholeheartedly believe that entrepreneurship is a mindset,” Norm Brodsky said in the statement. “Entrepreneurs aren’t just people who start their own businesses, but people in organizations who develop new ideas and solutions. Each year, I am thrilled to see that mindset is alive and well within these high school students.”

For more information about the competition, contact Teach at teachli@rider.edu.

According to the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), a non-profit organization that collects and supplies statistics necessary for research and academic applications, more than 108 billion humans have ever been born. With the current population of the world standing close to 8 billion people, it is easy to see that the number of humans lying buried beneath the earth in cemeteries and other sites vastly outnumbers the number of people walking the earth, and will continue to do so. With this in mind, we can realize that the pursuit of adequate cemetery space is a concern that far predates the current “green burial” movement’s current concerns.

Over the centuries, Parisians, Londoners, and Romans have faced cemetery relocation and expansion issues.

Funeral homes often host remembrance

events around the holidays. They are aware of the need to remember those we love and feel close to them, especially around Thanksgiving or Christmas. Our funeral home offers many ways for you to honor your loved one’s life, pay tribute, and celebrate special memories as you begin to heal and find closure. We take great pride in meaningful and dignified funeral services and always providing choices to best suit your needs. PH: 609-737-2900, 21 North Main St. Continuous Family Service Since 1881.

QUOTE: “The cemetery is an open space among the ruins, covered in winter with violets and daisies. It might make one in love with death, to think that one should be buried in so sweet a place.”

Grace also was the first woman deacon of MAPC.

Status of Prior Year Recommendations There were no prior year recommendations. *********************************** The above synopsis was prepared from the Report of Audit of the Hopewell Borough Fire District No. 1, County of Mercer, for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Grace was always organizing some charitable project at church, at work or at home. The last years of her life her project was caring for her sicker sister. After Stella died, Grace said, “my work is done.” Stella passed away with Grace at her side and Grace passed away with Stella watching from above.

Being a “singleton” as Grace called her unmarried state, Grace was devoted to us, her brother’s kids, her cousin’s children and many friends, leading us all on countless adventures.

Grace shared her love of nature as we walked the Long Island shore or ventured inland to woods, ponds and fields where she could name all the flora and fauna. Now, whenever we are in nature, we can hear her identifying the owl hooting overhead, the approaching bird or a little creature scurrying by.

RECOMMENDATIONS None

Grace Clarke of Lawrenceville, NJ (previously of Pennington, NJ & NYC) died of natural causes April 5, 2020 at age 96 three weeks after the passing of her identical twin sister and roommate Stella Stewart. She is survived by and predeceased by many loving family and friends.

Grace and Stella were born in NYC in 1923 to a Scottish lady’s maid and a classic silent English butler. With their brother, A. Roger Clarke (our Dad), they lived in a modest “railroad flat” near the Hunter schools which they attended through college. Grace’s lifelong passions took shape there: devotion to the church (Madison Avenue Presbyterian [MAPC] and later Pennington Presbyterian); lover of education; service to others; devotion to family and lover of science.

Obituary for Grace Clarke

Grace was a life-long Presbyterian, generous, nonmaterialistic, scientifically minded, lover of biology, highly pragmatic, project organizer, avid gardener, family storyteller and Scot/Brit. She would be baffled by people defying science and denying the Covid-19 pandemic’s existence. Unfortunately, the pandemic delayed completing this obituary and holding a memorial for Grace and her sister.
