Lawrence Rider University offers naming opportunities adopts flat in planned campus arena municipal budget By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

With little fanfare and no public comment, the Lawrence Township Council adopted its proposed $49.4 million budget for 2021 – which keeps the municipal property tax rate flat – following a public hearing at its April 20 meeting. The 2021 spending plan is $1.2 million less than the 2020 municipal budget of $50.6 million. There will be no change to the municipal property tax rate, which will remain at 59 cents per $100 of assessed value. The owner of a house assessed at the township average of $282,395 will pay $1,666 in municipal property taxes, which is one component of a property owner’s total tax bill. The owner of a house assessed at $125,000 will pay $746.28 in municipal property taxes, and the owner of a house assessed at $400,000 will pay $2,388.11 in municipal property taxes for 2021. “It was important to us all that during the pandemic and the financial consequences that impacted our residents” to keep the municipal property tax rate flat, Municipal Manager Kevin Nerwinski said. Township Councilwoman Cathleen Lewis thanked township employees for “going above and beyond throughout the pandemic” and for having brought in a budget with a zero municipal property tax rate increase. Nerwinski described the 2021 municipal budget as being on “hold.” There was a significant drop in revenue generated through municipal operations because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the trend is expected to continue into 2021, he said. In addition to a drop in revenue, township officials also expect a significant decrease in commercial ratable and tax collection overall, Nerwinski said. Those factors will play a role in the township’s approach to developing the 2022 budget, he said. The main source of revenue to support the budget is property taxes. The amount to be raised by taxes is $27.7 million, which is $116,073 over the 2020 property tax levy. The increase is due to the increase in assessed values, not because of an increase in the municipal property tax rate, he said. Miscellaneous revenues, such as fees and permits, liquor licenses, and the hotel and motel tax, will generate $14 million in revenue for the township. Township officials also expect to use $6.8 million in surplus funds as a source of revenue to balance the budget – the same amount of surplus funds that was applied to the 2020 municipal budget. Nerwinski said the township had $17.1 million in surplus funds at the end of 2020, compared to $16.9 million in 2019. Lawrence Township also will receive $3.9 million in state aid for 2021. The amount of state aid has remained flat for several years.

Rider University announced the launch of a locker and seat naming campaign to support the upgrade of Alumni Gym into a modern Division I NCAA facility. Supporters can name an arena seat for $500, a locker for $1,000, an arena courtside padded seat for $2,500, or join other prominent donors on a planned Donor Wall for

gifts of $5,000 or more. Additional naming opportunities may be found at rider.edu/ bringing-it-home. “This endeavor will create an exceptional game-day experience for both student-athletes and their fans and help build school pride and engagement across the University,” Director of Athletics

Don Harnum said in a statement released by the university. “This is a great opportunity for former athletes, fans and others who wish to make their mark on this ambitious project.” Alumni Gym is the first building on Rider’s Lawrenceville campus. With the Rider Arena Project, the university seeks to provide

luxury box seating with an entertainment suite, add a center-hung scoreboard with digital display, create a new and more spacious lobby with distinct ticketing and concession areas, install more restrooms, and expand seating along the baseline and in corners.

Parents push for full-day school in Lawrence By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Going back into the classroom five days per week for four hours a day is too little, too late. That’s the message delivered to the Lawrence Township Public Schools Board of Education by parents and students at the school board’s April 21 meeting. Many students have been attending school on the hybrid plan, which combines in-person instruction and remote instruction, while other students have opted for fully remote learning. A group of parents banded together earlier this month to create the Return to Learn Facebook group, which has pushed for returning students to the classroom on a full-time basis – five days per week, seven hours per day. An online petition at www. change.org also has been circulating – signed by more than 200 people – that calls on the Lawrence public school district to immediately bring students back into school for full-time, in-person instruction, while also preserving the remote option for those who have chosen it. But school district officials are sticking to the plan to bring students into the classroom for a few hours a day in the morning, and then to provide remote instruction in the afternoon. There is no change for students who have

chosen the full remote option. The reasons for a half-day of school, which excludes serving lunch, were outlined by Superintendent of Schools Ross Kasun at the April 21 school board meeting. Those reasons range from having already created a “re-entry plan” that meets the needs of all students, to the difficulties in ensuring adequate space, social distancing, supervision and cleaning if the district provides lunch and a full day of in-person instruction. The re-entry plan created a schedule to meet the needs of all students – whether hybrid or fully remote, Kasun said. The plan was built to keep students together with their teachers as a group of learners. “We believe it is critical not to change teachers and move learners when relationships have been formed,” he said. Noting that 41% of students have opted for fully remote learning, Kasun said the district must

provide the same learning opportunities for them as it does for students who are learning in-person, in the classroom. In most cases, to go back to a full day of in-person instruction would “completely disrupt and make significant changes for the remote cohort,” he said. Being so close to the end of the school year, Kasun said this is not the time to disrupt schedules and make staff changes while potentially increasing the health risks for students and staff from exposure to COVID-19. “It is just not practical or wise to do it now,” Kasun said. Some parents who attended the meeting, however, strongly disagreed. Michael Horan, a former school board member and the cofounder of the Return to Learn Facebook group, said the school district should take “strong, firm actions” to get the students back into the classroom full-time. Horan said he started the on-

line petition that calls for the district to implement full-time inperson learning now and to prepare a plan for the same in time for the 2021-2022 school year. Horan told the school board that he wants the board to direct Kasun to come up with a definitive plan to bring students back into the classroom sooner than later. He reminded the school board that its role is not to manage the school district, but to set the vision and direction for the district. Amy Davis, who is also a cofounder of the Facebook group, said federal and state officials have said it is safe to fully re-open the schools. Safety measures can be taken to ensure students’ and teachers’ safety, she said. “The risk (of exposure to COVID-19) is minuscule and when I weigh that minuscule risk with the benefit of my children receiving a better in-person quality education and preserving their mental health

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Draper has foc cused on crisis communications while supplying students with platforms to express their opinions to district administration, according to the statement. r His background also includes extensive work in community engagement and performing arts programs. Draper earned his associate’s degree in Liberal Arts – Communi, cations from Middlesex County College and anticipates earning his Bachelor of Arts in Communications in 2022 from Thomas Edison State University.

lege has been indicted on multiple charges involving his criminal sexual contact with a minor who was known to him and the surreptitious filming of several adult victims. On April 22, John M. Denuto, 44, of Spotswood, was indicted on four counts of endangering the welfare of a child in the first-, second-, and third-degree stemming from his filming and possession of child sexual exploitation material, as well as eight counts of invasion of privacy in the third-degree, six counts of aggravated criminal sexual contact in the third-degree, six counts of criminal sexual contact in the fourth-degree, two counts of witness tampering in the third-degree, and one count of hindering his apprehension in the third-degree, according to information provided by Middlesex County Yolanda Ciccone and Chief John Zebrowski of the Sayreville Police Department. Denuto was initially arrested on Feb. 15, 2020, following an investigation by the Sayreville Police Department and the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office that determined Denuto had criminal sexual contact with a juvenile and possessed child sexual exploitive materials that he had created by filming and photographing the juvenile, according to the statement released on April 23. Further investigation determined Denuto was allegedly in possession of additional child sexual exploitive material unrelated to the juvenile.

l In-person learning is essential to every school-age child. While the pandemic affected how children have -learned since March 2020, districts in Mercer County have begun to return, with precautions, to full-time days. Lawrence Township Public Schools is not one of those ,districts. Although they’ve taken steps in the right direction, Superintendent Ross Kasun and the Board of Education stand firm in their belief that a return to full-time, in-person learning is not necessary, or possible, for the current ”school year. I disagree as do many Lawrence parents. Dr. Kasun repeatedly tells parents it does not matter -that Princeton and Robbinsville found ways to return their .students this year because “Lawrence is different.” Yet, he hasn’t answered our question: Why is Lawrence so different that it can’t take the same actions as other districts? - For more than a year, our children have not received ’the quality and quantity of learning they need, despite the .best efforts of our dedicated teachers. I fear students have been hurt both educationally and emotionally. Dr. Kasun khas committed to a full return in September but given what I’ve seen to date from this district, I am skeptical he will gfollow through on this commitment. s Michael Horan Lawrenceville t Horan is a former member of the Lawrence Township Board of Education.

Consequences of Obesity Are More Than Cosmetic

id you know that more than 1 in 3 adults in the United States struggle with obesity, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

(CDC)? And while many view obesity as a cosmetic issue, the consequences are far greater. In fact, obesity is classified as a disease because of the adverse medical effects it has on your body, including increasing your risk for heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers. Fortunately, however, treating obesity can often stop its progression, lower your risk for other complications, and in many cases, even reverse the damage to your health. A Variety of Causes The old thinking that a lack of willpower is to blame for obesity is no longer considered valid. Science shows that obesity stems from a variety of causes including genetics, diet, inactivity, hormone problems, and certain medications. Additionally, studies have found that lack of quality sleep can contribute to being overweight or obese. Further, being overweight or obese can cause hormonal and other chemical changes in your body that contribute to the disease and make it difficult to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. In other words, losing weight is often not as simple as pushing yourself away from the dinner table and hitting the gym. Serious Health Complications Weight that is higher than what is considered a healthy weight for a given height is characterized as overweight or obese. Doctors typically use body mass index (BMI) as a screening tool to measure if someone is overweight or obese. BMI is defined as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. A BMI that is between 18.5 and less than 25 is considered normal. A BMI between 25 and less than 30 falls within the overweight range, and a BMI over 30 is considered obese. Obesity is associated with many of the leading causes of death and increases an individual’s risk for serious health conditions including: • High blood pressure • High cholesterol • Type 2 diabetes • Heart disease • Stroke • Osteoarthritis • Fatty liver disease • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) • Sleep apnea • Some cancers (endometrial, breast, colon, kidney, gallbladder, and liver) • Mental health disorders (depression and anxiety) Most recently, a CDC study released in March 2021 found that being overweight or obese also increased the risk for severe illness from the COVID-19 virus. Researchers suspect that chronic inflammation typically associated with obesity may disrupt the immune response to the virus and that excess weight may impair lung function. Food Logging and Other Tips Weight loss and weight management involve many factors, including diet, exercise and other lifestyle changes. The following tips can help support your weight loss journey: • Log your food (without judgment). Logging everything you eat and drink each day can help provide a better understanding of your overall diet and identify patterns and areas where there are opportunities to improve. Try not to judge what you log. • Track your steps. Start tracking your steps each day and rather than setting a goal you might not achieve, simply aim to increase your step count each week. If you walked

CosmeticforDentistry CLASSIC SMILES

500 steps each day this week, try adding 100 more a day next week. • Step on the scale. Weighing yourself regularly – at least once a week – is important to catching any weight gain and reversing it before it adds up. • Set realistic expectations. As long as the number on the scale is going down, even if it is just by a half a pound a week or every two weeks, you’re losing weight. • Avoid negative self-talk. Losing weight is hard. Do not beat yourself up over a bad choice. Instead, show yourself understanding, stay motivated and get yourself back on track. Because of the hormonal and other chemical changes associated with obesity, many people who are obese need medical treatment to help jump start their weight loss and

THE STATE WE’RE IN

An electric toothbrush was once an expensive luxury item, but today there are dozens of affordable models available at local supermarkets and drug stores. The question is no longer can you get one, but should you? And are they really better at cleaning teeth than a manual brush? The answer is, “yes.” Electric toothbrushes remove plaque better than manual brushes because of their oscillations and vibrations. They are also easier for people with limited mobility to use since they require less arm movement, and they have been proven particularly beneficial to those with dental appliances such as braces and partials. Many models come with built-in timers to ensure brushing continues for the right amount of time.. Our focus is to educate our patients on the many opportunities available to

them today to achieve a healthy and attractive smile.

Will New Jersey remain Garden State or become Warehouse State?

ew Jersey has long been known as the Garden State and keeping this title in the face of sprawl development is tough. Now the COVID-19 pandemic has indirectly added a new threat to this state we’re in’s nickname. Even before COVID-19, brick and mortar malls and shopping centers were in decline. But consumers in lockdown from the coronavirus found themselves shopping online for almost every item under the sun, available for home delivery. With this huge surge in e-commerce came the need for more warehouses and fulfillment centers to store, sort and distribute goods – and a lot more trucks to make deliveries. New Jersey is now in the midst of a warehouse construction tidal wave. The Port of New Jersey and New York is the nation’s second busiest. Giant container ships arrive regularly in Newark, Elizabeth and Bayonne, laden with goods to supply much of the East Coast. Everything in those shipping containers is going someplace. A spate of poorly sited warehouses are being proposed on productive farmland, environmentally sensitive areas and sites near residential neighborhoods. Aside from the loss of farmland and natural areas, the warehouses generate noise, traffic and air pollution from trucks. Here are just a few examples of warehouse projects around the state: • Upper Freehold Township, Monmouth County – A community group called the No Warehouse on 524 Coalition is opposing a plan to build a 566,840-square-foot warehouse on 118 acres of farmland along Route 524 — a project that would require a change in zoning. (Editor’s note: The applicant that proposed the warehouse in Upper Freehold Township withdrew the application from municipal consideration on April 16). • Jackson, Ocean County – Several environmental groups came out against a proposal to build warehouses as part of the Adventure Crossing USA mixed use development project on Route 537. The warehouse component would require clearing 72 acres of forest; opponents say it will generate truck traffic on the edge of a residential area and increase runoff into the Barnegat Bay watershed. • Robbinsville, Mercer County – Birders are objecting to a proposal to build two warehouses on a 90-acre property that attracts migratory birds, possibly including threatened and endangered species. The land, partly developed for offices, includes woods, fields and wetlands. If threatened and endangered birds are documented, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection could potentially halt the project. • Hamilton Township, Mercer County – Eleven projects

The Historic

Cranbury Inn Restaurant A Mother's Letter My Dearest Family, I want to thank all of you for the lovely time shared at the Cranbury Inn Restaurant on Mother's Day, May 9, 2021. Your choice of such a beautiful Inn with its early American charm and ambiance, located in historic Cranbury was perfect! All of our food was beautifully presented and the service was excellent. I personally have never had such a wonderful selection of entrees, that includes filet mignon, rack of lamb, and duck. Your Aunt Alice said the Inn’s dinner (2pm - 6pm) was superb and the staff and management as usual were attentive to our every need. This day will always be remembered. Thank you again for your love! Love, Mom P.S. Your dad’s American Express card made it through one more time.

totaling more than 2.6 million square feet of warehouse space have already been approved, built or are under construction; and another three projects totaling 875,000 square feet are pending before the Planning Board or the Zoning Board of Adjustment. A group called Stop Hamilton Township Overdevelopment is circulating an online petition asking local officials to keep the township from becoming a “warehouse hub.” • White Township, Warren County – Fearing the impacts of proposals for millions of square feet of warehouses, the township wants to significantly reduce the amount of development permitted in industrial zones. A proposed zoning amendment would cut maximum lot coverage from 35% to 5%. A group called Citizens for Sustainable Development, backed by the New Jersey Highlands Coalition, is rallying public support for limiting new warehouses. • Roxbury Township, Morris County – The Township Committee proposes to limit the size of warehouses in industrial districts, saying the move is necessary “to avoid excessive truck traffic on local roads and adverse effects on existing stressed intersections as well as on residential neighborhoods and the residential character of the township.” • Oldmans Township, Salem County – A 366-acre project, with 3.9 million square feet of warehouse space in seven buildings, has been proposed on farmland off Interstate 295. A zoning change would be required from the township. Julia Somers, executive director of the New Jersey Highlands Coalition, said many municipalities zoned land for “light industrial” uses decades ago to avoid residential development that could add more children to public school systems and increase affordable housing obligations. As a result, many of the recent warehouse proposals conform with local zoning standards and towns are struggling to respond. One solution to controlling warehouse sprawl may lie in adopting a regional approach and plan to identify appropriate locations for the structures. And equally important would be a method to quantify the need for warehouse space so New Jersey does not end up with multiple empty and abandoned warehouses a few years from now. Tim Evans, director of research for the nonprofit New Jersey Future, argued in a recent paper, “Warehouse Sprawl: Plan Now or Suffer the Consequences,” that decisions over warehouse siting should not be left solely in the hands of municipal governments. “A regional perspective is needed,” Evans wrote, “to make sure port-oriented storage and distribution functions are not consuming outlying lands that are better used for farming, recreation, or some other non-industrial use, and that redevelopment opportunities near the port that are ideal for warehousing are not instead allocated to some other land use that lacks the same location constraints.” Somers “absolutely” agrees with the regional approach, both in the Highlands and elsewhere in the state. A regional approach would allow officials to consider larger impacts: Can existing roads handle the traffic? Would noise, traffic and air pollution affect residential neighborhoods? Can warehouse development be steered away from the most important lands, like prime farmland and forests? Somers pointed out that in response to numerous warehouse proposals, Warren County officials conducted a traffic study last fall on the cumulative impact. “If all were built, the impact would be dramatic,” she said. Route 519, currently a two-lane county road, “would have to become a four-lane highway.” Regional land use planning works well in New Jersey, with two successful examples in the Pinelands and Highlands. And New Jersey has a statewide land use plan that could address this issue. The State Plan has been largely dormant since its adoption in 2001, but should be revived and updated to address warehouse sprawl and other current challenges like solar facility siting and climate change.

2021 Cadillac CT5 V-Series

SUBMITTED PHOTO

handling department you get a much different feel than a 3 series BMW or a C class Mercedes. The BMW and C Class give you a tight handling ride you can take through some hairpin turns at high speeds in confidence, and like most European cars, you feel the road under you a bit more. If you harken back to Springsteen’s vision, the DNA of the Cadillac just isn’t the same. If you are looking for that Euro sports car feel then the CT5 V-series just may not be for you. But, if you are more comfortable with a bit of a softer, more pillowy ride that still gives you some power pizzaz, then the CT5 may just be the ride for you. The all wheel drive CT5 V-series sedan I drove carries a base sticker price of $47,795. With added options and $995 for destination and delivery the bottom line sticker price on my tester came in at $65,445. Added options included: $6,290 for the Platinum Package; $5,290 for the Premium Package; $2,000 for the all wheel drive; $1,950 for driver assist and advanced security; $635 for Satin Steel metallic paint and $500 for the driver awareness plus package. The Platinum Package includes: an ultraview sunroof; leather seats and a parking package. The Premium Package includes: lighting package; navigation and Bose premium; climate package and a technology package. The EPA fuel consumption rating for this model comes in at 21 miles per gallon overall – 26 mpg in highway driving and 18 mpg in city driving. The EPA estimates that it will cost about $2,300 a year in fuel expenditures to run that CT5 as it uses about 4.8 gallons of gas per every 100 miles you drive it. In the government’s 5-star safety ratings it did not get an overall score yet or a score for the frontal crash test. It received 5 stars for the rollover test and 5 stars for the side crash test. Later this year, Cadillac will introduce the “Super Cruise” feature for the CT5 V series. It will be the world’s first true hands free driver assistance feature.

School Continued from Page 1A and overall well-being, I choose to have my children in school,” Davis said. Davis said that while she believes the school board members care about the children, not fully re-opening the schools for students who want it is “a very bad idea.” Noting that since fewer than half of the school board members have children enrolled in the district schools, she questioned whether they were “well positioned to make an informed decision about what is truly in the best interests” of the students. “I fear (that) without understanding as a current LTPS parent what our children’s experiences have been and currently are in Lawrence, you cannot fully appreciate the negative impacts we have faced,” Davis said. Pointing out that it has been more than 400 days since students have been in school full-time, Davis told the school board that “you are running out of excuses and we are running out of time. Do the right thing and allow our students to return to learn in person five full days immediately.” Two Lawrence High School students – senior Mahek Malik and junior Jimmy Kildea – also urged the school board to allow the return of full-time in-person instruction, pointing to the impact that school closure has had on their mental health and on their friends’ mental health. “I just know for a fact that doing the same thing every day (remote learning), not seeing people of your own age is horrible. It’s the worst school experience you could ever have,” Mahek said. “My friends are not interested in school (and) their mental health has deteriorated,” she told the school board. The seniors want their senior year back, she said. They don’t want a repeat of last year’s experiences for the seniors – the cancelation of the senior prom, a virtual graduation ceremony instead of an in-person ceremony, and the cancelation of Project Graduation, which is the after-graduation celebration. Jimmy said the students have lost “really important things,” such as the high school prom and the eighth-grade moving-on ceremony. “You are taking away more than just the friendships that people make, and actual education. You are also taking away memories of a whole year of our life. I hope to go back to school as soon as possible,” Jimmy said. School board president Kevin Van Hise replied that it was “unfair” to question school board members who do not have children enrolled in the school district. The school board members represent everyone in the community, he said. School board members have been working on a plan to get the students back into the classroom, but the district is facing significant limitations, Van Hise said. Every school district is unique, and the Lawrence school district is trying to “problem-solve,” he said. “We hear you and we actually agree” that students should be back in school full-time, but the district is doing what is best for the students, Van Hise said.

Although this active adult community focuses on independent living and provides every possibility for residents to enjoy something new and exciting every day, having immediate access to a medical facility and care is also a big plus, especially during these uncertain times. “Having access to a world-class medical facility has many benefits related to health, especially if one person in the family is in need of more regular care for whatever reason,” Ned Moore, a managing member of MVB Development Group, said in a recent press release. “But in the event that regular care is needed, having access to this kind of care so conveniently reduces the burden on everyone in obtaining the necessary care and makes for an overall better living experience.” The Townhomes at Riverwalk really has it all – gorgeous interiors, unparalleled amenities and close proximity to culture, which allow for an independent and abundant lifestyle, yet with direct access to medical care if there is a need which offers a peace of mind to someone of any age! You would not want to miss this unique opportunity! Call me for a private showing of the elegant models which the Townhomes at Riverwalk has to offer!
