Hopewell For All seeks to promote equity and inclusion throughout Hopewell Borough By ANDREW HARRISON

Staff Writer

Even though it is in its early stages, a formal working group has formed in Hopewell Borough to improve equity and inclusion within the community. The group, which currently consists of 10 borough residents, is called Hopewell For All and has already been meeting twice a month. The group is looking to create and give voice to policies, best practices or community structures that make the borough a welcoming and supporting community for people of all backgrounds. “We are still in the very infancy of this group and you know we have been meeting in the past couple of months. There are 10 of us now, but we will likely in January open it up to more community members, as we sort of put together some more education and outreach programs … my hope is that we work with other community organizations,” said Councilwoman Samara McAuliffe, who is part of Hopewell For All. “There are so many organizations doing important things for equity and inclusion. We want to be doing our part in Hopewell Borough as well.” The idea for the group happened organically in 2020, following the national social justice protests that spread across the country and statewide in the spring and summer; and after seeing the reaction to the accusations and investigations of several Hopewell Township police officers and municipal employees accused of improper conduct involving social media in regards to a post on Facebook accusing the Black Lives Matter movement of being a terrorist group.

Publication of Time Off section temporarily suspended

SUBSCRIBE 732-254-7004

The publication of the Time Off section has been temporarily suspended. Articles that run in the Time Off section will be published in the main section of this newspaper.

The Hopewell Township Police Department also serves as Hopewell Borough’s police department. “After seeing the reaction to the Hopewell Township Police Facebook posting there was a lot of interest in Hopewell Borough about what the borough could be doing better,” McAuliffe said. “It just became almost obvious that it was time for us to put together something more formal. There are so many organizations that are already working so hard in Hopewell Valley, Mercer County, New Jersey and nationally to really listen to our community members and find out what we can be doing better.” The group’s work on improving equity and inclusion in the borough would be achieved through education, outreach and through other entities and organizations working toward equity and inclusion, such as the Hopewell Valley Regional School District or Mercer County Outdoor Equity Alliance. “Historical awareness has come up in our meetings as well in tandem with education and outreach. To be aware of where our town evolved from,” McAuliffe said. “I feel super lucky to work with volunteers who are right

here in the borough, who want to talk about equity and inclusion in our town, and we know we can do better, we can always do better, so we are just getting started.” Residents, business owners and people who visit the borough could be part of the working group. The group will be community-driven, community member heavy and will be less of a council or committee. “Right now it is all borough residents. The working group will stay as it is now, but as we open it up, there would be a level of flexibility depending on the person’s interest outside of the borough. This is not something where there is a specified role or position looking to be filled now,” McAuliffe said. Anyone who is interested can reach out directly to Borough Administrator Michele Hovan at Borough Hall. “For all of us the most important thing is to assure that Hopewell Borough is a welcoming and open community and what can we be doing to make that so,” McAuliffe said. “How can we affect our policies, how can we affect our practices, and what can any of us be doing to make sure we are welcoming and inclusive.”

Hopewell Township administrator to retire in January By ANDREW HARRISON

Staff Writer

Hopewell Township municipal government officials will say farewell to Township Administrator Elaine Cruickshank-Borges come the new year, when Borges’s retirement goes into effect on Jan. 1. The Hopewell Township Committee accepted her retirement during their meeting on Dec. 7. Borges has served in the township Finance Department and Administration for 25 years. She first was appointed chief financial officer (CFO) in 1995, then treasurer in the Finance Department in 2006, earned her appointment to assistant administrator in 2017 and was officially tapped as township administrator in 2018. “I was born and raised in Hopewell. My father had a small business on Route 31 and he al-

ways stressed the importance of community, family and giving back. Over the years, I have worked in the community and built an extended family,” Borges said. “I have watched our community thrive in the best and worst of times. I am very proud to have been a part of our community and help shape its future while representing its past.” When ask about why she decided to retire, Borges said, “When I accepted the position of township administrator I agreed to a three-year term. I am simply at the end of that term and eligible for retirement. I look forward to serving the community in a different capacity in the future.” The township officials are hoping to have someone hired by her effective date of retirement. The job was posted in November, the posting closed Dec. 4, and officials are moving through the process hoping to have someone

named prior to the official retirement date for Borges. “Hopewell Township is beyond fortunate to have had Elaine for these 25 years. Elaine started her career in the private sector before coming to the public sector and I can’t imagine anyone caring as deeply about serving the public as Elaine has,” Mayor Kristin McLaughlin said. “As a finance officer she was smart, thorough, careful and always made sure everything we wanted to do was done in the most proper way it could be.” McLaughlin said that Borges was like the North Star and she pointed the right direction to officials all the time. “She quickly understands all of New Jersey’s municipal tax law that apply to municipalities. She gave such guidance through the challenges of the pandemic. I honestly do not know what we would have done without her,”

McLaughlin said. “The township has benefited in every way from her diligence, expertise and intelligence. She is irreplaceable. We will hire a new township administrator and I am sure whoever it is will be fantastic.” If the township is unable to hire a new administrator by Jan. 1, township personnel will have to step up. “To be truthful our departments are super solid and they will continue to function to their incredible high level whether there is an administrator or not. We are hopeful to have someone in place,” McLaughlin said. “People will have to step up and fill roles if it does go into the new year.” HOPEWELL VALLEY NEWS 100 Overlook Center 2nd Floor Princeton, NJ 08540 609-924-3244 Hopewell Valley News (USPS 250-300) is published twice a week by Packet Media LLC., 100 Overlook Center, 2nd Floor, Princeton, NJ 08540.

CHRISTINE’S HOPE FOR KIDS Jean and John Gianacaci, the founders of Christine’s Hope for Kids, dreamed of one day writing a book to honor their daughter, Christine, who loved helping kids, especially kids who were treated unfairly because of their differences. While she herself was bullied as a child, because of Tourette’s, she was upbeat, kind, and always the first to help someone who needed her help. That was Christine. Because of what Christine experienced, Jean and John wanted to do something about bullying. They partnered with Linda Martin, a friend and a Christine’s Hope for Kids board member, to write a story that addressed bullying. That story is told in a way every child can relate to in ALWAYS BETTER TOGETHER...A Story of Acceptance, Friendship and Love. It teaches children important lessons about accepting people’s differences and the remarkable power of kindness. About Christine’s Hope for Kids... Christines’s Hope for Kids is a local non-profit with one abiding principle. That every child deserves to be a kid, regardless of his or her circumstances. The foundation was inspired by Christine Gianacaci, the daughter of Jean and John, who lost her life when an earthquake struck while she was on a mission in Haiti to help underprivileged children. In the eleven years since its inception, Christine’s Hope for Kids has dispersed over $1,000,000 to 130 local agencies, providing tens of thousands of children with the kind of things most children take for granted. The proceeds from the sale of this book will enable Christine’s Hope for Kids to help even more underserved children in our very own communities. ALWAYS BETTER TOGETHER is a great gift for every child this holiday. It can be purchased for $24.95 at chistineshope.org, and in Pennington at Artistic Designs, Emily’s Cafe, Orion Jewelry Studio, Pennington Quality Market, Rosedale Mills, The Front Porch and Twirl Toy Store.

Staff Writer

Mercer County officials have completed the acquisition of the Hopewell Valley Golf Club. County officials and the Mercer County Park Commission announced the completion of the acquisition on Dec. 2. The Hopewell Valley Golf Club in Hopewell Township,

which is currently closed to the public, sits on 186 acres and contains an 18-hole golf course. “We are very happy that Mercer County was able to finalize the acquisition of the Hopewell Valley Golf Course. It is a beautiful, well loved jewel in Hopewell Township,” Hopewell Township Mayor Kristin McLaughlin said. “Many of our residents

have built strong connections to the place and the people who’ve used it over the years.” Along with a club house, the property located on Pennington-Hopewell Road also has a ballroom, pro shop and tennis, in addition to a pool. “This facility opens so much potential for the Park Commission and we are thrilled to have acquired

this property,” Aaron Watson, executive director of the Park Commission, said in a prepared statement. “Expanding upon our golf and tennis offerings, the addition of a pool gives us the opportunity to provide something new and exciting in the county and opens the door to new programs and events at this location.” According to the county, the clubhouse features a patio, indoor dining and a full-service bar, which will be open to the public once the facility is operational. The new property for the Park Commission abuts the Stony Brook with native tree and shrub plantings set to be placed near the Stony Brook.

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to fly an airplane?

NM-00447085

By Gabrielle Nierenberg Imagine sitting in the pilot seat and looking straight out to the horizon to see the blue skies and clouds. And then when you look to your right you see the Philadelphia skyline and to your left New York City the skyline. Flying is an incredible feeling. Talk about seeing the world from a different perspective. Ok, maybe you have flown in a commercial plane to Florida or Utah, but there is something so unique about flying in a single engine airplane. When flying in a Cessna Skyhawk, you are seeing the world from a completely different view than on the ground or a commercial jet. The Princeton Flying School at the Princeton Airport offers an extraordinary experience of an Introductory Flying Lesson. In the beginning you will go

through a pre-flight inspection to ensure the airplane is ready for flight, as all pilots do. Then, you will spend an hour in the air with a certified flight instructor going over some basic maneuvers. You will even get a chance to fly the airplane yourself! But do not worry; there are dual controls in the planes, so the instructor is there to assist you the entire time. When people return from their first Introductory Flying Lesson they are elated and often speechless. Many have said it was their dream to fly a plane, and it finally came true! This is a very special hour. Not only is this a special experience, but it counts as your first hour towards getting your Private Pilot’s License. Many students are inspired during their Introductory Flying Lesson to continue to study and train for

their Private Pilot’s License, while others are completely captivated by this hour and feel fulfilled. Either way, flying an airplane is something very special and you have the power to be the one who makes this experience possible. An Introductory Flying Lesson is the perfect gift to give to that someone who seems to have everything and you just don’t know what to buy. What better gift than an experience of a lifetime. This holiday season struggle no more when it comes to gift giving. As long as they are tall enough to reach the pedals, they can fly. Call 609-921-3100 for more information or visit us on the web at www. PrincetonFlyingSchool.com Happy flying!

Always Better Together A Story of Acceptance, Friendship and Love

Christine’s Hope for Kids takes on bullying with a children’s book that teaches important lessons about accepting our differences, the true meaning of friendship, the power of forgiveness and the most important lesson of all, that treating others with kindness and love is the true path to happiness. This book was written in honor of Christine Gianacaci, who loved helping kids, especially those who were being treated unfairly because of their differences. Local author Linda Martin, has written a beautiful story that addresses bullying through important lessons about acceptance, tolerance and the power of kindness. Illustrator, Anita Barghigiani, has brought the book to life with her beautiful images. Always Better Together is the perfect gift for every child on your holiday list. It can be purchased on christineshope.org and at these local businesses.

Stop fraudulent land conservation schemes

ince the 1970s donations of land and interests in land, known as conservation easements, have benefited from a federal conservation tax deduction. The tax deduction incentive has proven enormously successful and popular across the nation. In fact, the conservation easement tax deduction is one of America’s most valuable tools for encouraging landowners to preserve property with high conservation value. In New Jersey, thousands of acres of natural land – forests, meadows, marshes and buffers surrounding rivers and streams – have been permanently preserved through legitimate conservation easement donations. A conservation easement is a legally binding agreement to permanently protect natural resources like farmland, forests, wetlands, and recreational lands. Conservation easement donations are popular because a landowner is able to retain ownership of the land while donating the permanent rights to develop the property to a qualified government agency or nonprofit organization. The conservation agency then retires the development rights and ensures that the conservation easement restrictions are upheld. Because permanent restrictions often reduce the value of the land, the federal government’s conservation tax program allows the difference in value to be a qualified tax deduction. Most folks who donate conservation easements are motivated by a desire to make sure their land is never developed. The financial incentive of a tax deduction is a bonus. Unfortunately, this tax deduction is being exploited in some instances by those motivated by profits instead of the public good. The Land Trust Alliance, a national organization supporting land conservation nonprofits, has warned for years of an abusive scheme that takes advantage of federal tax benefits from conservation easement donations. The alliance has been advocating for a new federal law to crack down on the abuse. In October, the U.S. Senate Finance Committee released a revealing bipartisan report about the scope and seriousness of this abuse, based on a 16-month investigation. Here’s how the abusive tax scheme works. Investors buy shares in corporations that hold title to land. After a short holding period, the corporations donate conservation easements to nonprofit land conservation organizations. Tax deductions are then claimed based upon inflated appraisal values, often many times higher than the original purchase price of the land. As a result of the inflated appraisals, the investors reap tax benefits worth much more than their initial investment, all at the expense of the taxpayer.

According to IRS data obtained by the Land Trust Alliance, 296 of these corporations claimed $9.2 billion in unwarranted deductions in 2018 alone. This abuse of the conservation tax deduction threatens to erode public faith and trust in the many lawful conservation donations. To combat the abusive tax schemes, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Sen. Steve Daines (R-Montana) and Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Pat Roberts (R-Kansas) reintroduced the Charitable Conservation Easement Program Integrity Act, which seeks to close loopholes, save taxpayers billions of dollars and promote legitimate conservation around the country. When the bill was first introduced in the House in 2019, New Jersey Congressmen Bill Pascrell and Tom Malinowski joined as cosponsors; ideally, they and the entire New Jersey Congressional delegation will cosponsor the recently updated legislation. “The Charitable Conservation Easement Program Integrity Act will safeguard taxpayers by stopping bad actors from profiteering off the federal conservation tax incentive while allowing conservation donations motivated by charity to continue unimpeded,” said Land Trust Alliance President Andrew Bowman. “This legislation is concise, sensible, and ready for passage.” The Charitable Conservation Easement Program Integrity Act would generally disallow a charitable deduction if it exceeds 2.5 times a partner’s original investment, and it includes other measures to tighten requirements. The bill preserves the tax deduction for donors with true charity and conservation in mind, including for family farms and

ranches. The vast majority of land trusts preserve land and natural resources for the right reasons: providing habitat for wildlife, safeguarding clean drinking water, protecting against flooding, and providing healthy recreation opportunities to the public. The conservation easement tax incentive has helped tens of thousands of Americans with charitable intent preserve their land. Your help is needed to pass the Act before the end of 2020 to ensure that tax incentives for land conservation remain available for genuine philanthropists – of which there are many – and that scammers are shut down. Please ask your Congressional representative and U.S. Senators to support swift passage of the Charitable Conservation Easement Program Integrity Act.

Breaking the Cycle of Intergenerational Trauma

sychological trauma – emotional damage that occurs as a result of a distressing event or series of events – can be caused by many things, from a sudden, unexpected incident such as the loss of a loved one, to long-term exposure to abuse. And while in some cases the origin of trauma may be obvious, in other instances it may stem from a concept called intergenerational trauma—trauma that is passed down within family generations. No matter the source, trauma can affect your ability to cope with stressful situations and increases the risk for behavioral health disorders such as depression, anxiety and substance abuse. Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health offers a variety of treatment options to help people dealing with trauma learn to identify and understand its impact on their lives and build new, healthier patterns of behavior that can break the intergenerational cycle. Signs of Psychological Trauma Trauma can have a profound impact on your personality and the way you experience emotions, from how you manage and tolerate anger to how you experience excitement. Signs of psychological trauma include: • Shock, denial, or disbelief • Confusion, difﬁculty concentrating • Anger, irritability, mood swings • Anxiety, fear • Guilt, shame, self-blame • Withdrawal from others • Sadness or hopelessness • Disconnection or numbness Moreover, according to the National Council for Behavioral Health, there is a direct correlation between trauma and physical health conditions such as diabetes, COPD, heart disease, cancer, and high blood pressure. Seventy Percent of Adults Seventy percent of adults in the United States – or 223.4 million people – have experienced some type of traumatic event at least once in their lives, according to the National Council for Behavioral Health. Trauma can stem from: • Childhood abuse or neglect • Physical, emotional, or sexual abuse • Accidents and natural disasters

• Witnessing acts of violence • Grief and loss • Medical interventions • War and other forms of violence In addition, there is a growing body of research that shows that trauma can be biologically inherited and passed on in several different ways. Passing Trauma from Generation to Generation Although why and how intergenerational trauma happens aren’t fully understood, both nature (your genetics) and nurture (your environment) seem to play a part. Being raised in a stressful environment can lead to being in a constant state of fight or flight, which raises the baseline level of stress hormones in your body. This higher presence of stress hormones can cause permanent changes in your genetic makeup and have a lasting impact on your physical and mental development as well as your children’s. Children with higher levels of stress hormones are more vulnerable to becoming dependent on substances and are more susceptible to learning impairments such as ADHD or explosive behavior such as oppositional defiant disorder. While children are programmed by nature to learn from their caregivers, the nurture they receive from those caregivers plays an equally important role as they begin to understand how to navigate their environment and manage stress. Starting as newborns, infants use subtle clues such as facial expressions and tone of voice to know when their environment is safe. But as children grow older, additional non-verbal stressors also play a part in their development, such as how their role models handle stress. If a parent doesn’t have the ability to deal with stress in a healthy way and instead copes through avoidance, fear, substance abuse, or other negative behaviors, a child can learn to adopt those same behaviors as their own way of dealing with difficult emotions. Also, if a parent’s ability to build a healthy relationship with a child is impaired by their own trauma, it can result in trauma and dysfunction in the child. Left unrecognized these patterns can continue through multiple generations.

LOOSE ENDS

Laura Fuchs

ince masks became part of my daily COVID makeup, I have joked how they made me look much better than any pre-COVID make up. Masks cover up multiple signs of aging and imperfect features and are much cheaper than the countless creams and cosmetics I have purchased during my life. They also hide – I had assumed – any moods, such as irritability, fear, anger, stress and even an unimaginable burst of happiness. Princeton native and professional photojournalist Laura Fuchs also loves masks – not for what they hide, but rather for what they reveal about a person. Since COVID began, Laura, refusing to get bogged down in the negativity of the pandemic, threw herself into a joyful photo arts project selfdubbed Mask Smile – taking pictures of New Yorkers smiling behind their masks. And in the process, her lens work captivated the camera lens of BBC and CBS television that recently featured the Mask Smile project. “When I first started seeing New Yorkers wearing masks, I noticed most people were looking down, not making eye contact, and not smiling. I missed the social interaction and found myself trying to smile at people through my mask,” said Laura, who now is working in Manhattan as a staff photographer for CUNY TV (City University of New York Television). “Once my masked smile was returned with a passing stranger’s smize (smile with your eyes!), I discovered that people could see my smile through the mask and moreover that I could see theirs. The Mask Smile project was born,” she said. “There’s something so sweet about walking down the street and exchanging a smile with someone through masks. The brief connection affirms a deep strength and resilience in people. …” Certainly, there were times when people were too overwhelmed, preoccupied, and numb to smile. But when Laura was

By Pam Hersh successful, it was “incredibly uplifting” to both the photographer and the subject of her photo. “The whole project has helped me to maintain a positive attitude and to continue to be grateful for every day,” she said. I got to know Laura decades ago, before she started taking pictures, at a time when her parents were the ones taking pictures of her and her siblings. Her father Ira Fuchs and I shared an office suite at Princeton University. When Laura came to visit her dad at work, she would run into my office, because my office always was stocked with ample snacks, and a huge stuffed tiger sat on the couch. Her dad’s multiple computers and beeping pieces of equipment (he was vice president for Computing and Information Technology at Princeton University) “were not very interesting to me,” she admitted. As she got older, Laura, a Princeton High School alumna, Class of 2005, often would return to the Princeton University campus – not for my snacks – but to take pictures. For four years, she documented the university’s Trash Art competition, one of the highlights of Princeton’s town/gown festival known as Communiversity. “I can’t remember exactly when I was bitten by the photography bug, but remember always being fascinated with phototaking even as a little kid. … My parents would give me disposable cameras to take on family vacations and class trips.” She said that by nature she is nostalgic and “always seemed driven by a compulsive desire to document” her memories and the people she encountered. At Barnard College, Laura graduated in 2009 as a psychology major, which technically is not related to photography, but is related in that it reflects a fascination with people and a desire to understand them at a particular moment. “My camera comes with me wherever I go. … I thrive off the human connection and it thrills me to be able to make someone comfortable enough to let me capture their essence.” Aware that she is exceptionally lucky to

She now is looking at expanding her pandemic street art to capturing images of the street musicians, whose presence on New York streets has grown considerably

as performance venues have disappeared. Her joy is infectious – one infection that I would recommend to everyone during a pandemic. “Carrying my camera on me wherever I go encourages me to keep my eyes peeled for joyful moments.

Trauma Continued from Page 4A Coping Strategies Keep in mind that parents can also model positive coping skills and strategies for their children, especially as it relates to dealing with stressful emotions. The National Council for Behavioral Health suggests these helpful coping strategies: • Acknowledge that you have been through traumatic events • Connect with others, especially those who may have shared the stressful event or experienced other trauma • Exercise (try jogging, aerobics, bicycling, or walking) • Relax (try yoga, stretching, massage, mediation, or deep muscle relaxation) • Practice a hobby such as music or art • Maintain a balanced diet and get enough sleep • Avoid over-using stimulants like caffeine, sugar, or nicotine • Commit to something personally meaningful and important every day Help Is Available Trauma is a process that can be stopped

once it is understood and treated. At Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health, individuals seeking treatment are screened for trauma as part of the admissions process, and specialized programs are offered for men and women. Through individual and group therapy, as well as medication if necessary to help manage symptoms, participants can learn to understand trauma’s impact on their behavior, develop new coping skills, and stop its progression to the next generation.

Born in Newton, NJ, October 27, 1923, Ruth graduated from Newark State Teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College with a degree in Elementary Education.

County officials sought to purchase the property, which has been in foreclosure, for $1.9 million.

GRAVE STONES

NM-00447055

The term â&#x20AC;&#x153;gravestoneâ&#x20AC;? is derived from the Jewish custom of visitors placing stones at the head of the grave as a means of honoring the deceased. This tradition of placing pebbles on a grave dates back thousands of years. Yet, the exact origin of the practice remains unclear. One explanation is based on the belief that Jewish priests, at the time of the Temple in Jerusalem, became ritually impure if they came within four feet of a corpse. To guard against this possibility, graves were marked with piles of rocks to warn the passing priests to keep their distance. Today, the tradition is largely followed so that cemetery visitors can show that the grave has been visited and tribute paid.

A funeral is a meaningful event that can help ease the pain of separation that naturally accompanies death. It is a time of sharing good memories and experiences with family and friends. It is a time when respect, concern, and appreciation for a life that has been lived can be expressed in a sincere manner. 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. QUOTE: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tombstones covered the dale, the smooth marble surfaces bright. She had spent days here as a teenager, though not out of any awareness of mortality. Like every adolescent, she intended to live forever.â&#x20AC;?
