Hopewell Township to decide on additional food trucks at Rosedale Mills

By ANDREW HARRISON

Staff Writer

Hopewell Township Committee members will make a decision next month on whether three food truck businesses can operate at the Rosedale Mills property.

When the township committee convenes for an Oct. 5 committee meeting, committee members will make the final decision regarding an amendment of a temporary activities permit granted to JHF Realty LLC, which already allows for one food truck to conduct business at the property.

JHF Realty is seeking the approval of up to three food trucks having the ability to do business at the same time in the parking area of the property, that could

extend to the grassy section of Rosedale Mills, parallel to Route 31, according to resolution documents.

If approved, food trucks would have to be spaced 15 feet apart from each other, bumper to bumper; food services must be take-out only with no tables or other structures permitted onsite for patrons; and patrons would need to adhere to social distancing guidelines and are required to wear masks.

In addition to additional food trucks, the applicant is also seeking and extension for the permit through Nov. 30. Committee members are set to decide on the additional time also at the Oct. 5 meeting.

The township committee did,

however, approve of an extension to the current temporary activities permit to Oct. 7 on Sept. 8, because of the expiration of the permit occurring on the same date as the October meeting.

Committee members pushed back the decision to approve or deny the amendment to the permit and November extension due to several concerns raised at a Sept.

8 township committee meeting, which included not having comments from Health Officer Dawn Marling regarding the permit application.

“We have all been very focused on offering our residents places to go and do in a careful and thoughtful manner, like keeping our parks and trails open and supporting food trucks where we

had never really done that before, but I am very concerned about our small restaurants,” Mayor Kristin McLaughlin said. “I’m just not sure if I want to add to the competition at this point in time.

It just seems to be the wrong message ‘Shop Local’ and oh by the way we have added other options for you to not.”

Committeeman Kevin Kuchinski reiterated the concern of creating new competition.

“Now that the governor has allowed indoor dining in addition to take-out and outdoor dining, I think we agreed in our last meeting without knowing what the future would entail to allow the food trucks to continue until early October, I think that is still appropriate,” he said.

Additional concerns also included owners of the food trucks potentially not being Hopewell Valley restaurants and space on the property for multiple food trucks.

“When we did introduce food trucks it was during the pandemic when indoor dining was closed and this was offering people alternatives,” Deputy Mayor Michael Ruger added.

“When you have one food truck that is one thing, when you have three food trucks that is no longer a food truck that is a mobile food court. It would be one thing if it was a special event, but when they are there potentially for seven days a week that is no longer a special event.”

Amazing Pumpkin Carve returns to Hopewell Valley, showcasing Halloween art

By ANDREW HARRISON

Staff Writer

The Hopewell Valley Arts Council’s annual pumpkin carve tradition will be a little different in its sixth year for valley residents, as the competition becomes a drive-thru event.

For the event to occur during the current coronavirus pandemic, the arts council adapted the Amazing Pumpkin Carve at Woolsey Park in Hopewell Township to adhere to social distancing guidelines. Local artists are set to showcase their pumpkin carve art creations from Oct. 7-11, with Oct. 7 designated as Carve Day for the artists.

“The challenge was to find a place that had a paved road, because if there is rain we could not really use the park like we have traditionally done with people driving on the grass. We had to explore a whole bunch of different places,” said Carol Lipson, executive director of the Hopewell Valley Arts Council.

“The township was terrific and there is a limited access gravel road for emergency vehicles at the park that is not open to the general public. They gave us permission to use that access road in the park.”

When residents throughout Hopewell Valley attend the competition event open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day, which features artist’s created detailed images for Halloween, everything will be socially distanced as vehicles drive-thru the access road.

“People will come in from the normal entrance of the park. If

there are not a lot of cars in the line, they will go right into being guided around toward the path,” Lipson said. “If busy, we do have places we can get people off the road and entertain them with live music, so if they are waiting in line they will have some entertainment.”

Cars ushered to the access road will make their way through a decorated entrance. Forty tents will be on both sides of the road with the showcased pumpkin carve pieces on hay bales at a certain height, so those in car can clearly view the pumpkins when driving through.

Donated by Harbat Farms in Hopewell, 40 massive pumpkins weighing in between and over 150 pounds will be carved. There are 40 carvers for the pumpkins and also a waiting list of additional carvers.

“We wanted to keep this fall tradition going. We wanted the community to have something memorable for 2020 that is fun,” Lipson added. “We were very concerned that we may not have been able to have this event this year. We had the idea to continue this event back in April and had the drive-thru idea in our back pocket, when it became clear that we could not have the event in our normal way. We wanted people to be safe.”

The annual pumpkin carve continues to be the arts council’s primary fundraiser of the year.

“Our survival kind of depended on how we figured out how we would organize this event.

Just like other nonprofits we have been hit pretty hard by not being

able to have events,” Lipson said.

“We plan to go back to a fall festival next year. This is maybe not ideal, but is still a lot of fun.”

For individuals to participate in the drive-thru, tickets cost $25 per vehicle up to six occupants, $40 per vehicle with more than six occupants, and $100 per bus, according to the organization.

The money raised from the showcase and competition event goes toward paying the artists to carve the pumpkins, supporting the artists who created the carved art pieces, as well as programming for the arts council.

In 2020, the council will have live band music and DJ music during the main hours of each day of the event.

“We have a couple local bands that are going to play on Oct. 9-10. All day on Oct. 11, there will be a DJ from NJ Sings and he will ask for requests from people’s cars, which should be a lot of fun,” Lipson said.

The council added live local music as something new to the event in 2019. Other festivities during last year include, storytelling around fire pits, pumpkin sales and painting, an art show and sale, a hay bale maze and playground.

“While supplies last for the 2020’s event people will receive free pumpkins and will be able to buy pre-packaged snacks at the event. We want people to be inspired by the creativity of the artists and apply it to their own lives.

We need to keep the arts alive in Hopewell Valley,” Lipson added.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Difficult times require experienced leadership in Hopewell Township This year has been full of challenges, both worldwide and right here in Hopewell Township.

Since I was sworn in to the Hopewell Township Committee in January, I have had the honor of facing this extraordinarily difficult year while serving with my fellow committee people, Deputy Mayor Michael Ruger and Committeeman and former Mayor Kevin Kuchinski. Both are seeking re-election this year. I have seen firsthand how their experienced, steadfast leadership has been instrumental in steering the ship through these troubled waters.

Kevin is a budget expert, and he has found creative ways to ensure that the township is financially secure, even in the face of falling revenues. His analysis and experience were critical when we faced the decision of whether to extend the property tax payment deadline.

Michael is a lawyer and an expert in crisis communication by trade. His openness and honesty is an enormous asset to the township. Michael listens, seeking out both public input and consensus

from his colleagues, and he always considers a variety of viewpoints when making a decision.

With such a critical presidential election this year, the importance of local elections can get lost. But we are the closest elected officials to the people, and we hear your voices most acutely.

Having worked closely with both of them, I know that we all are better off with both Michael and Kevin serving on the Hopewell Township Committee.

Designs announced for new Princeton University Art Museum

PHOTOS COURTESY OF PRINCETON UNIVERSITY ART MUSEUM

The new museum complex as seen from the southwest corner, with Dod Hall to the left; the outdoor terraces here will accommodate up to 2,000 people.

The Princeton University Art Museum revealed the design for its new building embodying flexibility, openness and connectivity to break down barriers to participation and invite entry by all.

On Sept. 23, Sir David Adjaye, the design architect and founder of Adjaye Associates, presented the designs with James Steward, the museum’s Nancy A. Nasher–David J. Haemisegger, Class of 1976, director.

The building will replace and roughly double the square footage of the existing facility, which occupies a central location on Princeton’s campus. The design employs a mix of traditional materials – including stone, bronze and glass – that speaks both to the present moment and the historic Princeton context, according to information provided by the museum.

Construction is slated to begin in 2021 with an anticipated opening in late 2024.

“Sir David’s architecture will invite visitors to see themselves as citizens of a broader set of communities,” Steward said, “which in turn will, we hope, nurture a deeper sense of our shared humanity. The design will give us a building that fosters new modes of investigation, reflects and deepens our commitment to equity and inclusion and affords new moments of aspiration and inspiration.”

At a time of national self-reflection for both museums and universities, the design embodies the museum’s longstanding commitment to serve as a hub and a gathering place, a nexus for the arts and humanities – a metaphor for the college campus at its best – that affords encounters with cultures past and present from around the world and seeks to foster stronger citizenship among its University, local and global communities, according to the statement.

The new building design overcomes multiple historic barriers to participation, making the visual arts an essential part of the University experience for all Princeton students and an accessible home of democratic engagement for community members and visitors.

The double-height Grand Hall sits at the heart of the museum complex and will function as a lecture hall and performance space.

“The reconstruction of the Princeton University Art Museum is conceived as a campus within the campus,” Adjaye said, “a space of genuine inquiry where the exhibition of diverse practices, learning as a synthesis of knowledge and cross-cultural connections weave together into a singular experience that encompasses a multiplicity of ideas and peoples.”

The new museum will occupy three stories, featuring seven primary interlocked pavilions containing many of the building’s new galleries, interspersed with more intimate spaces that break down the scale of the whole while knitting the elements of the new building into the campus landscape.

The exterior of the building is characterized by alternating rough and polished stone surfaces inspired by the rich history of the surrounding environment. With a pulsating rhythm that responds to the delicate forms of nearby buildings and with the “push-pull” of its undulating facades, the new facility will welcome visitors from all directions through a design that strives to be “all fronts and no backs,” according to the statement.

The design of the new building allows the museum’s globe-spanning collections to be exhibited substantially on

a single level, shaping new ways of encountering the collections, privileging ideas of cultural contact and exchange and fostering new modes of storytelling, according to the statement. By challenging the traditional hierarchies inherent in multilevel gallery display, the museum will foster moments of discovery and surprise as visitors encounter ideas and objects in ways that move beyond the boundaries of geography and chronology. This approach brings architecture and curatorial practice together in a manner that is rare among major cultural institutions. Galleries will alternate in volume to accommodate the museum’s richly varied collections and to combat visitor fatigue, while elements of visible storage will feature significantly throughout the museum building, allowing curators to vary the density of display and create moments ideally suited for scholars as well as for general visitors.

Numerous bronze and glass “lenses” are positioned between the pavilions to break up the scale of the complex and to shape framed glimpses into the museum and vistas out onto the Princeton campus. The design includes outdoor terraces that diminish borders between indoors and out, including spaces for performances and events that can accommodate 200 to 2,000 users. A Grand Hall for lectures, performances and events; numerous classroom spaces and two “creativity labs”; and a rooftop café will serve University audiences, adults and K-12 students, according to the statement.

As an investment in architecture, the new building will join nearly 30 architectural styles reflected on Princeton’s campus. The design inserts itself dynamically into campus life by maintaining key pedestrian pathways that flow into and through the museum via two “art walks” – thoroughfares that function as the new building’s circulatory spine, according to the statement. At the ground level, permeability and accessibility are prioritized while affording tantalizing and uplifting glimpses into the galleries, most of which will be located on the building’s second level, even during times of day when the galleries might be closed.

The decision to build the new museum at the historic site of the current facility intentionally positions the museum at the physical heart of the campus, and keeps it physically adjacent to the university’s Department of Art and Archaeology and to Marquand Library, as an important research center for the humanities, according to the statement.

“The brilliant design for the new Princeton University Art Museum meaningfully achieves our goals of placing art at the core of the campus experience, strengthening the university’s mission of teaching and research and serving as a welcoming gateway for all visitors to this storied campus,” Princeton University President Christopher Eisgruber said in the statement.

Adjaye Associates was selected as the project architect in September 2018, in collaboration with Cooper Robertson as the project’s executive architect. Since work on the project began, the museum, Adjaye Associates and Cooper Robertson have been united in the belief that great architecture can offer solace and grace and be a source of collective memory and communal experience, according to the statement.

Environmental justice: Clean and green in every community

G

rowing up in Camden, Olivia Carpenter Glenn suffered from asthma and allergies. She wasn’t alone: many of her family members, friends and neighbors also had respiratory ailments, a result of breathing the polluted air in their industrial city.

Respiratory health issues were so common in Camden that Olivia gave them little thought until her freshman year at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire.

“That first fall, being around such fresh air, and just seeing the beauty of the White Mountains of New Hampshire and the Green Mountains of Vermont, really made me start to ask a lot of questions,” she recalled. “Why is this beauty here and it’s not where I’m from? Why do I have persistent respiratory issues when I’m home, but when I’m here I don’t have them?”

That was the beginning of Olivia’s awareness of environmental justice, a major influence in her decision to major in environmental studies.

Environmental justice is defined as the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people and communities – regardless of race, color, national origin or income – in the development, implementation and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations and policies. The environmental justice movement emerged in the 1980s and has been gaining momentum in recent years.

Now, Olivia is in a position to deliver environmental justice for communities like her hometown, places overburdened with pollution and polluters.

In July, Olivia was appointed deputy commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, in charge of advancing the state’s environmental justice and equity efforts in communities that are disproportionately impacted by pollution and are known to have dirtier air and more public health issues than other parts of New Jersey.

As of last week, this state we’re in has a powerful new tool: a historic environmental justice law aimed at ending the environmental health disparities between New Jersey’s urban, industrial and low-income areas, and its wealthier suburbs and rural communities.

On Sept. 18, Gov. Phil Murphy signed a new law that for the first time enables permitting agencies to consider “cu-

SOLUTIONS

mulative impacts” when reviewing applications to construct or operate. Prominent activists like Dr. Nicky Sheats, of the John S. Watson Institute for Public Policy, describe the ability to consider cumulative impacts as the “Holy Grail of the environmental justice movement.”

The bill would require certain applicants seeking permits from the Department of Environmental Protection to submit an environmental justice impact statement addressing the consequences their project would have on neighboring “overburdened communities.” The department would then gather public input and weigh the cumulative impacts of pollution on communities when deciding whether to grant permits for new or expanded facilities.

For example, if a community already has stressors like a landfill, sewage treatment plant, power generating plant or incinerator, these impacts would have to be taken into account. The bill also covers trash transfer stations, other solid waste facilities, large recycling facilities, and scrap metal facilities.

Overburdened communities are defined as those where 35% of the households qualify as low-income, or 40% of households are minority, or 40% of households have limited English proficiency. According to the state, there are approximately 310 municipalities, with populations totaling nearly 4.5 million residents, that have overburdened communities within their borders.

The new environmental justice law isn’t really new; it was introduced repeatedly since 2008, with Senator Troy Singleton as its main driving force and Assemblyman John McKeon sponsoring it in the Legislature’s lower house.

Olivia believes a “perfect storm” of circumstances led to the law’s passage after languishing for a dozen years. “One is the political will of the governor, who took the unprecedented stance of publicly stating his position on this piece of legislation before it was even passed,” she said. “The other piece is us being in the midst of this pandemic, which has really illuminated disparities for people in a very tangible way.

When we look at the public health crisis, we can see that it impacts some communities more strongly than others.”

She also believes that growing public support for the Black Lives Matter movement in the wake of the George

By Huck Fairman

Floyd killing was a factor in getting the bill passed.

Now that the environmental justice law is on the books – the strictest such law in the nation – the Department of Environmental Protection must write rules to implement it.

Thanks to Gov. Murphy, Senator Singleton, Assemblyman McKeon, DEP Commissioner Catherine McCabe, Olivia Glenn, the NJ Environmental Justice Alliance, Clean Water Action and scores of environmental justice advocates who have worked so hard to bring about this sorely needed change.

It’s only fair that officials reviewing applications for new facilities like incinerators and landfills should consider the community’s current environmental quality. For too long, decisions like these were made in a vacuum, as if the existing sources of pollution didn’t count.

“It does feel really good to be a part of something this historic, but what stays on the forefront of my mind is thata it’s needful,” Olivia said. “When we think about the com-t munities that we’re serving, who for a long time have beeng waiting for us to get to this point, they need this. I’m mindfulF of the work of wanting to make these changes happen – I’m happy, but I feel like I’ve got to push my sleeves up.” s In addition to the environmental justice law, New JerseyP is also advancing new environmental justice guidance to ex-t ecutive agencies in New Jersey state government, under the direction of an executive order from Gov. Murphy. s For Olivia, the implications of New Jersey’s environ-C mental justice leadership work go beyond the Garden State. t “We are taking bold steps on behalf of environmental jus-e tice communities nationwide,” she says. “We hope this em-a powers leaders and advocates everywhere to better protect some of our most vulnerable neighbors.”

Bill McKibben offers hope, direction and dire warnings

Editorial note: This column was originally published on Dec. 7, 2018.

E

nvironmentalist Bill McKibben, an author, distinguished scholar and founder of 350.org, came to town the other night. Introduced by fellow environmentalist Professor Michael Oppenheimer, he stopped during his national speaking tour to talk to an expectant audience at Richardson Auditorium eager to hear what hope and direction he might offer on the environmental and political crises we face.

Beginning on a relatively soft note, McKibben told the audience he was here in conjunction with both the Princeton Environmental Institute and the Princeton Art Museum’s exhibit, Nature’s Nation: American Art and Environment, which he urged all to go see. His support arises from his observation that art, or simply images, can have a real impact. He reminded us of how the first photos of Earth from space and the Moon revealed that our beautiful blue and white planet floats essentially alone in what amounts to a dark infinity.

Those photos opened peoples’ eyes to the fact that this planet is our only home and we must take better care of it.

McKibben also touted the value of photos of people around the world protesting the desecration of our planet brought on by fossil fuels, electric power generation, heating and cooling, manufacturing, and governments – despite our having alternatives.

Sadly, he reminded us, that while our cultural heritage has been recorded and expressed through a rich array of art, we are, and have been, destroying the very world our art celebrates.

But, he also reminded us that individuals can make an impact too, Rachel Carson’s books that stirred a generation, David Brower’s founding of the Sierra Club and the idea that wilderness was something that merited preservation.

McKibben then inserted several grave warnings. First, there is no longer any place on Earth that is not untrammeled by man. And secondly, in efforts to preserve life as we’ve known it, we are in an immense fight against destructive forces. A fight we are losing.

If we need evidence of this, the latest IPCC report warns that we have only a few years to begin making significant changes. If one doubts that report, one need simply acknowledge the fact that the seven strongest storms on record have all

occurred since 2006. Rising temperatures and ocean levels are already having their very serious impacts.

If we do not succeed in making the needed changes, he predicted that we will see more of the repercussions that helped launch both the Honduran Caravan and the civil war in Syria. These two upheavals were set in motion by draughts devastating agriculture, which in turn helped ignite violence and political divisions. As agriculture in those regions became unsustainable, life there became impossible.

To reverse these trends, we will need to find and organize new levels of solidarity. And, McKibben added, surviving will also require enormous economic changes.

One sign of needed change is New York State’s filing charges against Exxon, asserting that the oil company downplayed to its share holders the impacts of climate change upon its business and the environment.

But McKibben warned that these challenges to the fossil fuel industry and the financial sector that supports them will face push back. The looming fights will be about money and power – neither of which those industries and their allies will willingly relinquish. We, the small but many, are facing the fewer but large and rich. History, he observed, has long been the story of man fighting man. Now however, the fight for our future is man versus nature. Will man change or will he force nature to change unalterably?

To preserve the world as we know it – and again, the IPCC report states we don’t have much time – McKibben alerted us that we must change the zeitgeist. While we now have the technology to effect the necessary changes, we need the popular and political will. We are no longer facing a sooner-the-

HEALTH MATTERS

p n j better situation, but a sooner-or-never situation.

In an aside, he revealed that Princeton University has not yet divested its investments in the fossil fuel industry. The audience erupted at this, supporting his implication that it is time for the university to do so. It is ironic that on one hand the university has made strides to reduce its emissions while it still supports the fossil fuel industry. Perhaps this is emblematic of the divisions that threaten civilization.

So how do we win this fight? McKibben affirmed that we need public support and pressure. And we need artists to help rally that support, by expressing both the dangers and the solutions.

In short, he urged that we need to do everything we can, including turning to green power, voting in carbon taxes, collecting and sequestering the carbon already in the atmosphere, and perhaps most important of all, exerting the political will to keep carbon in the ground.

He noted, additionally, that among the most important and far reaching expressions of this need to change was Pope Francis’ 2nd. Encyclical, Laudato Si’ whose subtitle is, “On care of our common home.” But aside from the Pope, too few political leaders have led the effort. We, the people, need to change that.

With this message in mind, McKibben ended with a story from Sweden. There, a fifteen-year-old young lady responded to her parents’ passivity by saying, “If you’re not going to do anything, then I won’t either. I won’t go to school.” And instead, she seated herself on a chair outside of the Swedish Parliament, explaining that she would move when they did, on this most essential issue.

COVID-19 Rehabilitation and Recovery

M

ore than 6.5 million Americans have contracted COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic, according the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and thousands more are diagnosed every week.

And while most people suffer mild to moderate symptoms, some may develop complications that could have lasting health effects.

Princeton Rehabilitation, a unit of Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center, offers outpatient physical therapy to help individuals recovering from COVID-19 return to daily activities of living.

Persistent Symptoms Most people recover from COVID-19 within two to six weeks. However, in some instances, symptoms may linger for weeks or months, even in people with a mild case of the virus.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), symptoms that may persist include: • Fatigue • Cough, congestion, or shortness of breath • Loss of taste or smell • Headache, body aches • Diarrhea, nausea • Chest or abdominal pain • Confusion Although people without underlying medical conditions

can experience prolonged illness, the risk for persistent symptoms increases among people who have high blood pressure, obesity, or mental health conditions, according to the WHO. Additionally, while much is still unknown about how COVID-19 affects people over time, as the WHO notes, the virus may increase the risk of long-term health complications, including: • Heart damage or heart failure • Lung damage • Joint and muscle pain • Cognitive impairment, memory loss, or trouble concentrating • Anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder • Trouble sleeping Rehabilitation Can Help Rehabilitation plays an important role in COVID-19 recovery.

Princeton Rehabilitation offers individualized outpatient treatment for patients who are recovering from COVID-19 and experiencing the following symptoms: • Functional decline • Difficulty with daily tasks • Pain with movement • Decrease in endurance, limited endurance, or strength See HEALTH.MATTERS, Page 7A

Jewish Community Foundation awards $10K in scholarships for local college students The Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Mercer awarded its annual scholarships to local college students for the purchase of academic books.

In August, the Book Awards were given to eight students from Mercer and Bucks counties. The scholarships ranged from $800 to $1,300 per student, for a total of $10,000. The students are enrolled in a wide range of colleges and universities, including the University of Vermont, Syracuse University, and Washington and Lee University.

The scholarship recipients communicate directly with the foundation, and their correspondence reinforces the need for this type of financial assistance in the local Jewish community, according to information provided by the foundation.

One recent letter explained, “Being the son of a single mom, who is the only parent helping fund my college education, I have been working 40-hour weeks in order to pay for my gas, car insurance, and my phone both while at home and at college. … Receiving money from the [foundation] will allow me to have funds in order to pay for my textbooks as well as my field and lab notebooks.”

Another scholarship recipient shared, “This year I re-

ally appreciated the generous book award you gave me because it enabled me to buy many expensive textbooks and supplies. … Since my father’s passing, things have been extremely difficult for my mother who is struggling to make ends meet. … So this book award means more to me than you can ever imagine.”

Funding for the Book Awards comes from two restricted funds at the Jewish Community Foundation, the Albert B. Kahn Scholarship Fund (established in 1984) and the Benjamin Garb Scholarship Fund (established in 2002).

The assets of these funds are managed by the foundation and grow in perpetuity, according to the statement.

Foundation Trustees Michael Manning and Jeffrey Miller served on the committee overseeing the selection of Book Award recipients in 2020.

Mercer County Park Commission receives funds for Roebling Park, Abbott Marshlands

The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have announced that the Mercer County Park Commission will be awarded a grant from the 2020 Delaware Watershed Conservation Fund for $150,000.

This grant will help fund the installation of a living shoreline and public access to the waterways in Roebling Park in Hamilton and the Abbott Marshlands in Bordentown.

This three-step restoration project will include constructing a 500-linear-foot living shoreline along Watson’s Creek, conducting a feasibility study for the re-introduction of freshwater mussels in the marsh and installing a user-friendly and ecologically sensitive public boat launch, according to a statement provided by Mercer County.

This award is a result of collaboration between the Park Commission, Princeton Hydro and the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary.

Freshwater tidal marsh is one of the most ecologically valuable habitat types in New Jersey, yet it has experienced the highest percentage of loss and degradation of wetland habitat in the state, according to the statement.

The marsh within Roebling Park is in the heart of the larger 3,000-acre Abbott Marshlands, the northernmost tidal freshwater wetland on the Delaware River. Approximately 309 acres of Roebling Park are freshwater tidal wetlands, and provide habitat for rare organisms such as wild rice, river otter and American eel, and a prime breeding habitat for bald eagles.

“This grant will help further the county’s efforts to improve wetland functions and passive recreational opportunities in Roebling Park, an ecological jewel that’s located just minutes outside the City of Trenton,” Mercer County

Executive Brian M. Hughes said in the statement. “Native plants, wildlife and the public all will benefit from the ongoing restoration in the park.”

The Park Commission is currently working with Princeton Hydro to conduct a multi-year, multi-phased restoration of these important freshwater tidal wetlands in Roebling Park. This ecosystem restoration will enhance the park’s biodiversity, restore natural tidal function, improve recreational opportunities through the eradication of phragmites and promote a native floral community in the wetland. The installation of a living shoreline and ecologically sensitive boat launch will continue building on the overarching mission for the larger wetland restoration, which is to provide ecological uplift to the wetlands within Roebling Park, while improving ecosystem services.

“For the last several years the Park Commission has significantly increased its efforts to restore the unique ecosystems within Roebling Park,” Park Commission Executive Director Aaron T. Watson said in the statement. “This grant will now allow us to expand upon our work to date and also result in new ways for Mercer County residents to get outside and enjoy this wonderful natural resource.”

The Delaware Watershed Conservation Fund aims to conserve and restore natural areas, corridors and waterways on public and private lands to support native migratory and resident wildlife and fish, and native plants; and to contribute to the social health and economic vitality of the communities in the Delaware River watershed. These grants address priorities in NFWF’s Delaware River Watershed Business Plan.

The 2020 year round of funding will support 37 new or continuing conservation and restoration grants totaling $8.12 million. The 2020 awards generated $22.08 million

mong the many important directives and declarations that Gov. Phil Murphy has issued during this first term in office is one that has had a profound impact on me. On June 22, 2018, Gov. Murphy declared on “A Late Show” with Stephen Colbert that Central Jersey is a real place – even if North Jerseyans and South Jerseyans refuse to acknowledge the middle

child in the Jersey family. https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=2r0h2mNz91M Gov. Murphy explained on Twitter that state law defines Central Jersey as the following counties: Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Somerset, Ocean and Union.

Since I am a middle child who was born, raised and still lives in Central Jersey, I felt validated and vindicated after years of being bullied,

because I was allegedly “a geographic and demographic middling nebbish with no distinctive identity,” according to a (former!) friend from Central Jersey who abandoned his roots and moved to Hoboken. The governor is from Central Jersey (Middletown), and Jon Stewart (appearing on the June 22 Colbert show) is a Central Jersey native (Lawrenceville).

Also from Central Jersey is marketing and public affairs strategist Brad Fay, a former Montgomery Township elected official, now a Griggstown resident. Even though Brad is a relative newbie to Central Jersey (only 21 years), he has adopted a mission of promoting and nurturing Central Jersey.

I was reminded of Brad’s passionate advocacy on behalf of Central Jersey, when I got a note from him announcing his latest film

Presented by James J. Cally, D.M.D. MALOCCLUSIONS Malocclusions of the teeth refers to several types of common dental issues involving the alignment of teeth and bite.

A malocclusion is usually an inherited condition, but it can also be caused by habits including poor dental care, thumb sucking, and prolonged bottle feeding.

One type of malocclusion is overcrowding, which causes teeth to grow in crookedly and overlap one another. Sometimes too much space exists between teeth, resulting in problems with chewing, bad breath, and bleeding gums. Over, under, and open bites also fall under the malocclusion umbrella.

Impacted teeth (teeth that are unable to grow from the gum properly) and missing teeth are also sometimes referred to as malocclusions.

Don’t let dental abnormalities keep you from smiling, chewing, talking, and just generally enjoying life. There are many

strategies available today to solve the problems caused by less than lovely teeth. We’ll be happy to discuss which ones would be best for your circumstances.

For compassionate dental care, including cosmetic dentistry, complete restorations, and regular cleanings, our primary goal at is to treat our patients with the best, most up-todate, gentle dentistry possible.

Hours are by appointment at Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman. Call 609-924-8300. “Our commitment is to relationships of partnership, respect, and appreciation.”

“We offer cosmetic and family dentistry as well as Zoom!® and Invisalign®.”

Please e-mail your questions or comments to: drjamescally@yahoo.com P.S. Untreated malocclusions can affect one’s oral and digestive health.

project, the Save the Sourlands Solo Fest, Oct. 10, at 8 p.m., a virtual alternative to the annual Sourlands Mountain Festival, produced by the Sourland Conservancy. It is a free, hourlong program combining a nature documentary and music festival to raise public awareness and funds to address a serious invasive, insect threat to a national, natural treasure right here in Central Jersey – the Sourlands.

The 90-square-mile Sourland region is home to the largest contiguous forest in Central New Jersey.

The sparsely populated area includes parts of Somerset, Hunterdon and Mercer counties, and encompasses a complex ecosystem of forest, wetlands and grasslands. Its mosaic of habitats is home to a rich diversity of animal and plant species, many rare or endangered.

The forest is important as a breeding area for migratory songbirds, particularly those who nest only in large wooded areas. A devastating enemy to all this is the emerald ash borer that will kill one million ash trees in the Sourlands.

“Over 20 percent of the Sourland trees are ash, the highest concentration in New Jersey, and all these trees will be killed within the next few years … because of the emerald ash borer. We are working to develop a reforestation plan in partnership with local, state and national organizations that recognize the ecological importance of the Sourlands – and the impact of ash decline on our forest’s ability to clean our water and air, sequester carbon and provide critical habitat,” said Sourland Conservancy Executive Director Laurie Cleveland.

According to Brad, the Solo Fest will feature stun-

ning Sourland landscapes, jazz and folk entertainment

by New Jersey musicians and naturalists explaining the importance of the Sourlands as a source of water, a wildlife habitat, and as a defense against climate change.

Brad produced the festival with help from many friends, particularly Cliff Wilson who co-produced the original documentary incorporated in the show.

Cliff, who is married to former Montgomery Township Mayor Louise Wilson, is known throughout Central Jersey and beyond for his band – the Clyde St. Clifford and the Omnidextrous Jazz Ensemble in which he is vocalist and bass player.

The Thomas Sweet plaza on Nassau Street has been a favorite performance spot for the band in the Before COVID era.

Brad’s Central Jerseyophile commitment stems from his love of history and the natural environment, with a practical vision for boosting New Jersey’s economy.

“New Jersey is the Garden State, but the state’s farming and natural resources legacy generally are given short shrift when the state promotes itself,” Brad said. Drowning out the natural and historic wonders of the region, are the Jersey Shore, Liberty Island, and the state’s pop culture from Bruce Springsteen to the Sopranos.

“New York State has made a commitment to the Hudson Valley and the Finger Lakes Region. New Jersey should do the same with Central Jersey. This has enormous economic benefits. I got a sense of that when this summer my Discover Central NJ summer staycation blog received 21,000 visits. The enthusiastic response to the

summer staycation blog led Brad to create a Discover Central NJ harvest season blog.

The staycation blog celebrates pandemic feasible day trips to historic and breathtakingly beautiful farms, historic sites, and pathways that make Central Jersey one of the great agrotourism and heritage tourism destinations in the nation. New Jersey keeps falling behind in terms of agrotourism, promoting agriculture in the Central Jersey region, I am hoping that the idea catches on.”

After my conversation with Brad, I was inspired to take a mini vacation – right in my own neighborhood – the Millstone Valley National Scenic Byway. This 27-mile drive goes up and down the Millstone River and the canal.

I am thrilled that I discovered Brad Fay and his efforts to bring the middle child to a position of prominence. And for those who are more into pop culture than trees, please note that Bruce Springsteen hails from historic Freehold in Central Jersey, is still living in Central Jersey, and made his claim to fame in my Central Jersey hometown of Asbury Park.

The Save the Sourlands Solo Fest will air from 8 to 9 p.m. on Oct. 10. For more information, to donate, or to watch the event, visit www. sourland.org/solofest. The program will premiere for free on YouTube at 8 p.m. on Oct. 10, followed by an “After Party” at 9 p.m. on Zoom. People can visit Sourland.org/solofest for additional information, to purchase event merchandise and After Party tickets, to preview music performances, or to donate funds for planting native trees and shrubs in the Sourlands.

Morven Museum & Garden’s Festival of Trees tradition continues Morven Museum & Garden’s Festival of Trees is a juried collection of trees and mantles decorated by area garden clubs and non-profit partners displayed in the museum’s galleries throughout the mansionturned-museum.

The trees will be on display from Nov. 18 through Jan. 10, 2021. A Winter Wonderland outdoor fundraiser is planned for Dec. 3.

“Morven’s annual Festival of Trees has been a holiday highlight for years, and this year – a year like no other – we’re enhancing it by opening the decorated galleries of the museum a week earlier and running through Jan. 10 to give everyone extra time to see it without encouraging crowds.

The event chairs embraced the creativity demanded by the coronavirus and added a Winter Wonderland twist to our annual fundraising party,” Executive Director Jill Barry said in a prepared statement.

During the Dec. 3 fundraising party, the museum will be open to enjoy the decorated trees and mantels at timed intervals; however, the party is based outdoors “in the fresh air under the stars, enjoying firelight, holiday treats, twinkle lights, music and a few surprises,” Barry said.

“We long to gather together, and on this evening we will be doing so while supporting Morven’s exhibitions and education programs. We hope many in our community, neighbors and friends will consider becoming early supporters of this wonderful fundraising event at whatever level they can.

“We’re inviting everyone to don their woollies and wellies, along with their mask, and join us on Dec. 3 in the transformed backyard of the museum from 5:30-8 p.m. by the fire pits for holiday cheer with safe social distancing,” she said.

Key sponsorship levels range from Shining Star at $15,000, which includes 12 holiday party tickets and 12 museum tick-

ets; Angel at $10,000, including 10 holiday party tickets and 10 museum tickets; Herald at $5,000, including six holiday party tickets and six museum tickets; and Sentinel at $2,500, which includes four holiday party tickets plus four museum tickets.

Patron and Supporter tickets are available at $500 and $250 per person, respectively, and all these levels will be recognized

on the invitation if committed by Oct. 5.

The basic party tickets are $175 per person.

For more information on becoming a Festival of Trees sponsor, contact Kathy Greenwood at 609-924-8144, ext. 113 or kgreenwood@morven.org Morven Museum & Garden, 55 Stockton St., Princeton, is open Wednesday

through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Festival of Trees is included with museum admission of $10; $8.00 for seniors; free for Friends of Morven and children 6 years old and under.

NJBIZ recognizes Ida Bormentar for Best 50 Women in Business

PHOTO COURTESY OF COMMUNITY OPTIONS, INC.

Executive Director Ida Bormentar

Ida Bormentar, executive director for the Mercer County office of Community Options, Inc., was recently named as one of the Best 50 Women in Business by NJBIZ for 2020.

Community Options is a national nonprofit that provides housing and employment for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Recipients of this award represent New Jersey’s best in leadership, decision-making, trendsetting and forward thinking. Honorees were recognized at a virtual ceremony held on Sept. 21, according to a press release.

“We are so proud of Ida (Bormentar) for

Health.Matters Continued from Page 4A • Balance dysfunction and fall risk • Peripheral neuropathy • Difficulty breathing with movement • Cognitive deficits • Swallowing or voice impairments (due to intubation) The one-on-one patient care treatment approach, may include: • Therapeutic exercise to improve strength and range of motion • Specific exercises for endurance improvement • Gait training • Balance and weight-bearing exercises • Breathing and relaxation to increase breathing ability • Swallowing studies and voice evaluations In-person visits are offered at five locations, including in Hamilton, Princeton, Monroe, South Brunswick and Plainsboro. Physical therapy appointments are available during daytime and evening hours, including in the early morning. Therapists also provide treatment sessions via telehealth.

Tips for Recovery In addition to rehabilitation, the WHO offers the following recommendations to help patients manage their recovery after COVID-19: • Aim for some level of cardio exercise for 20 to 30 minutes, five days a week. Any activity that makes you feel mild to moderately breathless can be counted toward your goal.

Time your exercise and gradually increase the duration to build endurance. This may be in small increases such as an additional 30 seconds or one minute of activity. It may take a while to return to the level of activity you were normally able to do before you became sick. Talk to your doctor or physical therapist about an exercise program that is right for you.

• Add strength-training exercises to your routine. This will help improve muscles that have become weaker as a result of your illness.

• Pace yourself and try to do light tasks

between heavier ones. You may need to leave yourself time during the day to rest. Let others help you with tasks that you may be struggling with. Things like caring for children, shopping, preparing meals, or driving may be difficult. Accept offers of support and let people know how they can help.

• Ease back into activities. Do not try to take up full activities until you feel ready.

This may mean talking to an employer about a gradual return to work, taking on a role that is easier for you to manage, getting support for childcare, and returning to hobbies slowly.

• Get enough quality sleep. Ensure that your environment is free from things that might disturb you, such as too much light or noise. Minimizing nicotine (such as from smoking), caffeine, and alcohol and adding relaxation strategies will help you with falling and staying asleep.

• Eat a balanced and nutritious diet. A nutritious diet, rich in fruits and vegetables is good for your overall health and well-being.

If you experience difficulties swallowing from being ventilated, try foods of different consistencies, and take your time when you eat.

• Stay socially connected. Talking with others can help to reduce stress and may also help in finding solutions for challenges in your recovery journey. If you live by yourself, staying in contact with friends or family on the telephone or online can help you to feel less alone.

A serious illness like COVID-19 can take a significant toll on your physical and mental health. Rehabilitation is an important step in the recovery journey and can help you regain function and return to a healthy life.

this tremendous achievement,” said Robert Stack, president and CEO of Community Options. “Her commitment to service is an inspiration to all of us and she is truly deserving of this recognition.”

Bormentar joined Community Options in 2014 and manages operations and development throughout Mercer County. Commu-

nity Options supports over 60 individuals in small, community-based homes in Mercer County.

“It is truly an honor to be selected for this award,” Bormentar said. “My work is my passion and I am so grateful for the opportunity to dedicate my career to improving the lives of people with disabilities.”

Ever wonder where these car makers come up with the names for these models?

Wikipedia says “the word Sentra sounds like central as well as sentry, which evokes images of safety.�

Another internet posting says the name Sentra is of Italian origin and means “beautiful.�

Suffice it to say that the Nissan Sentra has been around long enough so that most people know what it is.

Peter Perrotta However, this Japanese auto maker was not about to rest on its laurels when it comes to the Sentra. For the 2020 model year, Nissan has come out with an “all new� Sentra from top to bottom and inside and out.

I recently settled behind the wheel of the 2020 Nissan Sentra 2.0 SV CVT for one week to judge how they did with remodeling the all new Sentra.

An Evening with Senator and Alumnus

Saturday, October 17 at 7:30 p.m.

VIP Event at 6:30 p.m.

This is a virtual event

on the Zoom conferencing platform

In many ways the all new Sentra is a big hit. It’s exterior styling is sleek, sculpted and cool looking. Interior redesign is a big winner as well.

Inside the new Sentra looks more expensive than its price tag. It is intelligently laid out and fairly roomy but still a bit snug for my six-foot frame.

This new Sentra sits on a new platform and suspension as well. I found the new frame and suspension to be solid and very functional.

However, the new Sentra only offers one engine, the 2.0 liter four cylinder powerplant that produces 149 horsepower and 145 pound feet of torque.

Therein lies the problem with this new Sentra. Power.

It really doesn’t produce enough power.

The folks at Car and Driver raved about “roomy interior, comfy seats, lots of tech and upscale features� on the new Sentra.

But, on the other hand, they also stated “incredibly slow acceleration, noisy engine and harsh ride.�

I think the folks at Car and Driver were being a bit too

harsh here. Yes, the car is rather slow, but I wouldn’t say it was “incredibly� slow. It accelerates just as good as a Toyota Corolla or a Honda Civic.

Let’s face it folks, no one buys a compact car to win races at the Indy 500.

As far as the “harsh ride� knock, I didn’t find that to be the case at all.

In fact, I think the new suspension and frame for this new Sentra suits it quite well. I found the steering to be precise and the handling to be above average for a vehicle in this class.

Yes, there were times when I punched the accelerator looking to make an aggressive passing move or enter an on ramp on the interstate and found the power to be lacking, but that’s almost to be expected for a car in this class.

As far as the noisy engine complaint, I didn’t find that to be the case. Most of the time the engine for this Sentra was relatively quiet. However, when you do “punch it� a bit the engine revs become more audible than usual.

The base price for the Senta SV I tested is $20,270.

The sticker price of my tester was $24,800, which includes added options and $925 for destination and delivery.

The added options included $2,400 for an SV premium package, $500 for a lighting package and $440 for an electronics package.

The SV premium package included: LED head lamps; power moonroof; quilted leather seats; 6-way power driver seat; heated seat and a leather shift knob.

The lighting package includes ambient interior lighting and some ground effects lighting.

The EPA fuel consumption ratings for this all new Sentra are quite impressive. It gets 33 miles per gallon overall – 39 mpg in highway driving and 29 in city driving.

The estimate annual fuel cost for driving the Sentra is a miserly $1,250 a year as it uses about 3 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven.

This new model Sentra has not been government crash test rated yet.

The infotainment system in the new Sentra is fairly easy to use. My tester synched my phone and iPod music system rather easily.

However, my tester did not have a factory navigation system in it so I had to plug my Android phone into it and use Android Auto. I didn’t think the Android Auto system was as good as factory navigation system would be. I lost the signal several times while using the Android navigation system.

Overall, at the end of the day the Sentra can stand proudly side by side in comparison to either the Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla.

The two best-selling authors will offer their perspectives on the economy, the recent social and racial unrest, equity concerns and the coming presidential election.

Paul Krugman, Nobel Prize winner, is one of most recognized and trusted voices on economics and public policy.

Eduardo Porter, NY Times economics reporter and author of “American Poison, How Racial Hostility Destroyed Our Promise,� will join the discussion. Porter’s commentary will present his research and views on how prevailing, systemic racism has not only harmed and limited the prospects of Black, Brown and other marginalized communities, and compromised our hopes for an authentic democracy. Porter will share his ideas for addressing our current situation.

The virtual conversation is a fundraiser to support the restoration of the Paul Robeson House of Princeton. Proceeds will also be used to fund development of educational programming and other initiatives.

Tickets for the event are $50. Pre-registration is required.

Miss Kim set to release first children’s music album Kim Yarson, of Miss Kim’s Children’s Music, will release her first children’s album “Growing Up Great” on Oct. 21. The pre-recorded concert is sponsored by the Mercer County Library System and will debut at 10 a.m. on their YouTube Channel.

While Miss Kim has been performing for babies and toddlers for 10 years at libraries across New Jersey, it is the pandemic that gave her the time and opportunity to write, produce and release “Growing Up Great,” all on her own from the recording studio in her basement, she said.

She penned 11 fun and energetic songs infused with manners, movement and motivation.

“Being home in quarantine gave me the time I needed to put together an album for children that was begging to be written,” she said in a prepared statement. “These songs will not only get kids moving, but have great moral messages, like dealing with emotions in ‘Colors of a Rainbow,’ working on getting better at doing things like walking or catching a ball in ‘If You Want To Be Great,’ and the very catchy, ‘Being Kind.’ “ Along with the album release will be

two animated videos of “The Shaker Egg Song” and “Thank You All Around the World,” which will be released in October on Miss Kim’s Children’s Music YouTube channel.

“I want the Miss Kim’s Children Music YouTube channel to be a place where parents feel completely comfortable letting their children watch my vlogs, videos and listening to my music,” Yarson said in the statement. “Knowing I can create music that that matters to parents, while entertaining and teaching children about life, nature, themselves and the world around them, is very gratifying to me.”

For more information, visit www.MissKimsChildrensMusic.com.

Kim Yarson is a successful, energetic singer-songwriter from East Windsor. She has been writing songs for 26 years and performing for over 10 years. In addition to running Miss Kim Music for Children since 2010, she has four albums to her credit written for adults and has performed at venues and festivals around New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.

LET’S PLAN TO TALK According to the fifth National Funeral Directors Association’s annual Consumer Awareness and Preferences Study in a row, consumers acknowledge the importance of preplanning their own funeral, but fail to follow up on the notion. While 62.5 percent of consumers felt that it was very important to communicate their funeral plans and wishes to family members, prior to their own death, only 21.4 percent had done so. There were several factors that consumers cited as preventing them from planning, including: preplanning is not a priority; that they have not thought about it; or that prepaying is too costly.

In order to overcome these self-imposed obstacles to preplanning and get accurate information, all are encouraged to engage us in a personal conversation.

To maintain high quality of water and reliable service to our customers, the East Windsor Municipal Utilities Authority will begin opening fire hydrants to flush sediment from its pipes, monitor water flows and pressures, and provide visual inspection of the hydrants. Customers may notice a drop in water pressure or may experience discolored water. At no time will the water quality be compromised. The water is safe to use.

Below is a list of the scheduled dates of the areas we will be flushing: Twin Rivers Section of the Township and Centex area are scheduled for the week of October 19, 2020 through October 23, 2020.

To help ensure everyone has an opportunity to participate, members of the public are encouraged to notify the Planning & Zoning Department no later than noon on the date of the meeting if they intend to participate by contacting the Planning Board Clerk via email at dpadgett@hillsborough-nj.org.

If you are unable to access the application material online at https://hillsboroughnj.civicclerk.com/ or prefer an in-person inspection, please contact the Hillsborough Township Planning & Zoning Department at (908) 369-8382 or dpadgett@hillsborough-nj.org to make arrangements to review an application file.

Formal action may be taken. The public is invited to participate remotely as outlined above.

• Check for discolored water by running the COLD water only before using the washing machine or dishwasher. Wait until the COLD water runs clear at the tap before doing laundry or operating the dishwasher. Note: If laundry becomes stained, do not put your laundry in the dryer. Rewash cloths immediately using detergent and add a rust remover.

Most rust removers can also be used on stained fixtures.

• If water pressure or water volume seems to be low after hydrant flushing has been completed, check faucet screens (aerator) for trapped particles.

• Place garbage and recycling containers behind the curb to avoid obstruction.

• Refrain from placing loose leaves and debris at the curb as this will only create a problem for the storm drains. Place the leaves and debris at least a foot from the curb to allow the water to run freely.

The East Windsor Municipal Utilities Authority apologizes for any inconvenience.

Thank you for your patience during this time. If you have any questions or comments, please contact the East Windsor Municipal Utilities Authority at (609)443-6000.

CareOne at Hamilton has designated itself a voter registration site to ensure all residents and outside community members have the opportunity to vote. Voter registration applications are provided and processed on-site and team members can assist residents and community members with registering to vote either traditionally or through the mail.

The American College of Orgonomy, based out of Princeton, is hosting a free webinar from 11 a.m. to noon Oct. 17.

Following the presentation, Jackie Bosworth, M.D., will join Dr. Burritt for a discussion.

The webinar is hosted by Dee Apple, Ph.D. Dr. Burritt will present two brief therapy vignettes to highlight the importance of identifying the emotional health in patients. Identifying and treating pathology has long been a staple of medicine in general and psychiatry in particular, but we find that by also identifying the areas where the patient possesses genuine emotional heath, we can have a fuller picture of the individual and an ally against debilitating anxiety, depression and other emotional illness.

Registration is required by visiting https://us02web.zoom. us/webinar/register/WN_ImY5khuaRw65OJYB1bEmWg Attendees will receive a link to the Zoom presentation.
