Teachers union, BOE approve contract for Lawrence public schools By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Teachers, guidance counselors and instructional assistants are in line to receive an annual salary increase of 3% under a new contract approved by the Lawrence Township Public Schools Board of Education. The school board approved a five-year contract with the 580-member Lawrence Township Education Association last month. The contract starts July 1, 2020, and expires June 30, 2025. The Lawrence Township Education Association also represents nurses, secretaries, child study

team members, security monitors, librarians, library assistants, office assistants, athletic trainers, custodians, cleaners and maintenance workers. The new contract is unusual because it is a five-year contract, school district officials said. Contracts between the school board and the union usually are for a threeyear period. The school board approved a four-year contract in 2018 with the union that represents principals, assistant principals, supervisors and the athletic director. School board President Kevin Van Hise said the school board was pleased to have reached a settlement with the Lawrence Town-

ship Education Association. The process was collaborative, professional and fair, he said. Superintendent of Schools Ross Kasun also praised the Lawrence Township Education Association for working collaboratively to reach an agreement that was fair to the teachers and the public, and that benefits the community. “During these challenging times of our school closure due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, this settlement is a welcomed ‘positive.’ It will contribute to moving our district forward for years to come,” Kasun said. Braulio Borlaza, the Lawrence Township Education Association

president, praised school district officials for reaching an agreement with the union. “We are confident that the agreement reached is beneficial to all stakeholders. We are appreciative of the school board’s willingness to engage in a process that supports children and families as well as staff,” Borlaza said. In the first year of the contract, a teacher with a freshly-minted bachelor’s degree will earn $56,744. By the fifth year of the contract, the starting salary for a newly-minted teacher would be $63,386. The most experienced teachers – those who hold a master’s degree and 30 additional credits, and who

have taught for at least 20 years – would earn $94,586 in the first year of the contract. They would earn $98,186 in the fifth year of the contract. Library assistants will earn $31.65 per hour in the first year of the contract, and $35.62 in the fifth year of the contract. Instructional assistants and security monitors will be paid $27.76 per hour in the first year of the contract, and $31.24 in the final year of the contract. Contract negotiations began in November 2019, and a memorandum of agreement was signed by Van Hise and Borlaza in February 2020.

Lawrence fourth grader is one of two state winners of anti-drug folder contest grade students statewide. Wade, who attends the Lawrence Intermediate School, shared first-place honors with fourthgrade student Channing Jervis, who lives in Seacaucus. The winners were announced May 12 in a virtual awards ceremony. Wade watched the online Zoom presentation with his parents and his sister, and that’s how he learned he was one of two winners. The posters drawn by Wade and Channing will be made into folders to be handed out to about 40,000 fourth-grade students in September. Classroom posters featuring their artwork will be distributed in the classrooms, too. Wade was encouraged to enter the poster contest by his teacher, Kevin Duncan. Wade admits that he loves to draw, and wanted to share his artwork with others – win or lose. “I thought it would be a great way for other people to see my artwork,” Wade said. “I did not expect to win, because I knew there would be lots of other kids

Wade Bullard of Lawrence was one of two winners of the Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey’s Fourth Grade Folder Contest.

By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Ask Wade Bullard how he felt when he learned that his poster was one of two winning entries in a statewide anti-drug poster contest, and his answer is simple: “su-

per excited.” Wade’s poster was chosen from among more than 3,400 entries in the Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey’s Fourth Grade Folder Contest. The contest, whose theme was “Fun Things to Do in New Jersey,” was open to fourth-

sending in their artwork. But I was really proud of my piece, and I hoped it would win.” Each of the 28 finalists, including Wade and Channing, sent a short video of themselves and offered a brief explanation of what their poster represented and the message they wanted to get across. “My message is that New Jersey is full of fun things to do instead of drugs,” Wade said in his video presentation. “I came up with the idea because there are so many fun things to do in New Jersey that I couldn’t pick just one. To include them all, the style of artwork that I used was inspired by an artist named Vexx,” Wade said. Vexx, whose real name is Vince Okerman, is a 21-year-old Belgian who is a self-described doodler and illustrator. He has his own YouTube channel. In the style of Vexx, Wade drew an outline of New Jersey and filled it in with examples of how one could have fun without taking drugs. Wade drew a soccer ball, a football, a bicycle, a basketball

hoop and a tennis racquet. The colorful poster included a flower, a rainbow and a patch of green to represent a lawn. “There are just so many fun things you can do instead of drugs,” Wade said. That is exactly the point that the Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey wants to get across, said Angelo Valente, the nonprofit group’s executive director. “These students should not only be commended for their creative ability, but also for sharing important drug-free messages with their peers. Their artwork showcases the importance of living a drug-free life and what it means to them,” Valente said in a statement provided by the partnership. It is never too early to begin talking to children about substance abuse and prevention efforts, Valente said in the statement. The fourth-grade poster contest is one example of how to educate them and encourage them to make smart decisions throughout their lives.

portionate to their numbers, Quakers have led anti-slavery, civil rights and women’s rights movements and been strong advocates for world peace.

Trenton doctor, national organization supply personal protective equipment Capital Health-Regional Medical Center received donations of 1,000 COVID-19 HAZMAT gowns, 2,500 face masks and are set to give hospital staff 1,000 N95 masks and 1,000 face shields. TASC has support from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Turkey and receives PPE equipment from manufacturers in Ankara the capital of Turkey, according to Obuz. “People donate the money for the goods and the next step will be going to the Turkish Government Ministry of Health and getting permission to export the equipment from Turkey to send to the United States,” Obuz said. “The manufacturers create the equipment mainly for the Turkish health system and any oversupply or overstock they send to us with permission from the government.” He added that none of the equipment is from the black market, but all from the manufacturers in Turkey. TASC reached out to Obuz once the COVID-19 pandemic hit the east coast of the United States, specifically when the virus hit New York. “When they realized how difficult the virus was going to be, they knew supplies would be needed and began reaching out to connections in Turkey,” Obuz said. During the week of May 16, the donation of PPE was not the only way Obuz and TASC helped the Trenton community. They donated a two-week food supply on May 15 to the Reading Senior Center in Trenton for their seniors that also included 2,500 donated washable masks. “From fresh fruits, dry goods to supplies, we wanted to help the elderly at the Reading Senior Center strengthen their immunities. One of my office practice locations is in the heart of Trenton and I am talking to patients who are stuck in their homes about they need,” Obuz said. “Some of the elders were not able to go out shopping and did not have help. I have a relationship with Reading Senior Center for 15 years and wanted to give them a hand.” He added that he wanted to have the elders get at least one reusable mask for themselves or possibly two and three with the donations. “I want people to take away the idea of getting involved and doing good. People need to get involved in bring goods to people,” Obuz said. “People who need us sometimes do not verbalize it. We need to open the discussion and door. All I did was open the door and realize what they needed.”

By Andrew Harrison Staff Writer

A local Trenton physician and community organization teamed up to provide much needed supplies for frontline health care workers and senior residents in Trenton. Dr. Vedat Obuz, an internist affiliated with the Capital Health-Regional Medical Center, and the Turkish American National Steering Committee (TASC), a community advocacy organization, began their local support in the area by donating personal protective equipment (PPE) in the thousands to frontline healthcare workers battling the COVID-19 outbreak at the Medical Center in Trenton on May 13. “The driving force for me to get involved is that I have worked in Trenton for more than 20 years. I am part of Capital Health-Regional Medical Center where we donated the equipment,” Obuz said. “This is a community-based hospital and I realized we were going to be having a high surge of patients coming to the hospital and knew that supplies would dwindle. My good friend, TASC National Co-chair Halil Mutlu, asked me to find the right place

to donate these goods. I said the Capital Health system was the place.” Helping others before himself is a key philosophy for Obuz and as soon as the coronavirus pandemic began he started to think of ways to get involved with helping fight the virus on the front lines.

“This was my niche and felt that I have done a good job of getting things together,” Obuz said. “TASC should get most of the credit. I am just a mediator and coordinator. I should not get any credit it should go to all of the people that provided these supplies.”

Coronavirus Complicates Grieving Process

his time of year, New Jersey is popping with color from blooming flowers and shrubs and beautiful songbirds. One of the brightest is the ruby-throated hummingbird, which returns to the Garden State each spring to breed and raise young. These tiny birds – weighing only a little more than a nickel – are the only hummingbirds native to New Jersey. They spend winters in Mexico and Central America and fly north in the spring to breed, the males arriving ahead of the females. Their arrival coincides with the emergence of insects and flowering wildflowers and shrubs. Males have bright emerald green feathers

here is no greater loss than the loss of a loved one, and even in the best of times, the grief can feel overwhelming. Rituals like funerals, shivas and life celebrations can often help ease the pain and allow those left behind to begin healing. But because of the COVID-19 pandemic, many people have been forced to change the way they say goodbye, complicating the grieving process, though making it no less important. Ambiguous Loss In the absence of rituals surrounding the dying – such as visiting the bedside, viewing the body and having a funeral – how does someone grieve? How does a spouse or a child or a friend grieve someone’s absence without having been present? These unclear and uncertain experiences that many people are grappling with right now are referred to as ambiguous losses. Coined by the researcher and educator Pauline Boss, Ph.D., the term ambiguous loss is defined as when the emotional and physical realities don’t align. A loved one may be physically gone, but it still feels as though they are emotionally present because one has not had a way to “observe” their death. For instance, when a loved one in the military goes missing and inevitably dies, but the loved one still feels them as emotionally present even as they are physically absent. A patient with dementia, for example, is physically present but the loved one feels their emotional absence. Thus, the idea being that when an otherwise healthy enough person leaves home to go to the hospital, declines rapidly, and the loved one doesn’t get to see them throughout the process, it creates something like ambiguous loss. Complicated Grief Grief is a normal response to loss and is marked by a range of feelings, including:

and an iridescent red throat patch that flashes in the sunlight. Females and juveniles don’t have the ruby throat patch and their green coloring is more subdued. The speed of the hummingbirds’ flight and their ability to hover make them fascinating to observe. If you are outside enjoying the fresh air and warm weather, you might first notice a hummingbird buzzing past in a blur, like a super-fast bumblebee. If you are lucky, it might pause to sip nectar from a flower or perch on a slim tree branch. Newcomers to bird-watching should See STATE, Page 10A

OBITUARY Bonnie Dale Larzelere Thompson Bonnie Dale Larzelere Thompson, age 92, died peacefully on Saturday, May 16th, 2020 in Monroe Township, NJ, surrounded by her loving family and beloved husband of 70 years. Bonnie was a devoted mother, grandmother, wife, sister, member of the church, and community volunteer. Born on January 3rd, 1928 in Abington, PA to Lindley Elkinton Larzelere (Samuel Douglas Larzelere and Edith Elkinton) and Vera Louise Springer (Veronica Bonnie Dale and Nathanial Bowker Springer), Bonnie Dale Larzelere was the youngest of three children. She was preceded in death by her siblings, Vera Jean Larzelere Bruen (d. 2005) and Lindley Eklinton Larzelere Jr. (d. 1990). Bonnie was also a Daughter of the American Revolution and a descendant of prominent early North American settlers. Bonnie attended Dickinson College and graduated in the spring of 1949 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry. She was one of 38 women who graduated that year. Known as the “nitric acid expert”, Bonnie is remembered for her ready come-backs, good natured mischief, chemistry capers, and practicality. She felt incredibly lucky to attend Dickinson and made the most of her experience by giving her time to a variety of organizations. She was an active member of the Chi Omega sorority and also participated in theater, choir, the yearbook committee, and college social committee. Bonnie married Mahlon Mason Thompson on June 18th, 1949 in the Church of Our Savior in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania. Following graduation, Bonnie worked as a chemist for Whitehall Pharmaceutical Company of Elkhart while her husband ﬁnished mortuary science school. Bonnie and Mahlon’s ﬁrst daughter was born in May 1951, and Bonnie gave birth to her son in April 1954. The Thompsons lived in Trenton, NJ where Mahlon was an owner of the Poulson & Van Hise Funeral Home, and they later moved to Ewing Township after giving birth to their second daughter in August 1957. With three children under the age of 10, Bonnie and Mahlon moved to Yardley, PA in 1959, and Bonnie gave birth to her third daughter and last child in April 1960. The Thompsons lived in Yardley for fourteen years and established long lasting roots in the community. They then moved to Cranbury, NJ in 1973, where Bonnie worked side by side with Mahlon and daughter Christine as owners of A.S. Cole Funeral Home from 1973 to 1991. A faithful and giving spirit, Bonnie tirelessly committed to giving back to the community and spent more than 50 years of her life volunteering. She received a 20-year award from Meals on Wheels for her dedication to their program, and she was an active member of the Lioness Club and Women’s Club of Cranbury. She was also a Founding Member and Former Treasurer of the Cranbury Historical and Preservation Society. Bonnie spent her time caring for the elderly and regularly volunteered with her grandchildren at the Elms of Cranbury. Finally, Bonnie was a devoted member of the United Methodist Church and steadfast in her commitment to church events and initiatives. Bonnie and Mahlon were active members of the St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Trenton for over twenty years, and Bonnie served as Treasurer of the Cranbury United Methodist Church for over a decade.

Bonnie is survived by her husband of 70 years, Mahlon (b. 1924); children Bonnie Seward of Morrisville, PA (Robert Seward), Douglas Thompson of Mclean, VA (Carol Van Cleef), Christine Thompson of Cranbury, NJ, and Patricia Thompson Gavenda of Cranbury, NJ (Rick Gavenda); nieces Barbara Loria, Carol Ann Bruen, and Nancy Larzelere; nephews Lawrence Bruen, David Bruen, and Lindley Larzelere; grandchildren Michelle Kauffman (Keith Kauffman), Patricia Seward, Marie DiStasio (Joseph Eriksen), Tyler DiStasio, Kathryn Gavenda (Todd Eaton), Andrew Gavenda (Cassi Bekkala), Peter Thompson, and Jamie Thompson; and great grandchildren Devon & Justin Kauffman, and Louise Eaton.

As funerals are becoming more personalized, it is many individuals’ last wish to be remembered in ways that enable mourners to express and demonstrate respect for the uniqueness of their relationship with the deceased. With this in mind, surviving family members and friends of the deceased may want and need to be involved, active participants in the funeral ceremony. Many traditional rites have been modiﬁed to include singing of songs, poetry readings, and the telling of special stories and experiences that were shared with the deceased. This greater personalization and participation creates a more meaningful experience for all involved and helps to lay mourners’ emotions to rest with the person they loved.

• Emotional numbness, shock, disbelief or denial. • Anxiety over being separated from the loved one. • Distress that leads to crying; sighing; having dreams, illusions and hallucinations of the deceased; and looking for places or things that were shared with the loved one. • Anger. • Periods of sadness, loss of sleep, loss of appetite, extreme tiredness, guilt and loss of interest in life. These feelings, compounded by ambiguous loss, can make the grieving process more difficult. Not to mention, with physical distancing measures and restrictions on gatherings in place to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, people are being left to grieve apart at a time when they need to be together the most. While it may be too soon to say how grieving in isolation will affect people long-term, studies have shown that lack of social support increases the chance of having problems coping with a loss and could lead to complicated grief. As defined by the National Institutes of Health, complicated grief is characterized by: • Minimal grief reaction. A grief pattern in which the person has no, or only a few, signs of distress or problems that occur with other types of grief. • Chronic grief. A grief pattern in which the symptoms of common grief last for a much longer time than usual. These symptoms are lot like ones that occur with major depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress. Five Things to Say In his book The Four Things That Matter Most, palliative care physician Ira Byock, MD, writes that most dying people – and their loved ones – typically want to hear four things from each other.

A funeral can and should be as unique as the life that is being celebrated. We want to help you make the arrangements you want.

Reopening of Alexander Road pales in comparison to COVID-19 crisis

n hyperbolic language similar to what I hear from my six-year-old grandson, several of my friends declared a few months ago that Nov. 6, 2019, was the “worst” day of their lives. It was the day Alexander Road closed. Christmas was going to be ruined for Princeton downtown retailers, the Grinch would steal all the spirited celebrations such as the Palmer Square tree lighting, getting in and out of Princeton during Communiversity (town/gown arts festival at the end of April) would be beyond nightmarish, and everyone would miss important business meetings, train departures, medical appointments and soccer games. Six months and one week later, Alexander Road opened on May 15 to the tune of “whatever.” “The construction is a huge accomplishment,” said Princeton Police Chief Nick Sutter, referring to the concurrent Mercer County and New Jersey Department of Transportation (DOT) projects that replaced three bridges over the D&R Canal, the Stony Brook and Alexander Creek. “It took massive coordination at all levels of government and great engineering skill,” he said. The project also generated a tsunami of controversy. “We did several press conferences and community presentations. People were writing letters to the elected officials and the Brainerd Lake, North Main Street, Village Park, Cranbury Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey may have aquatic pesticides applied on or between 28 May 2020 through 26 June 2020 for aquatic weed/algae control with Tribune (diquat dibromide), and/or Aquathol K (endothall), and/or Clipper (ﬂumioxazin), and/or Aquapro (glyphosate) and/or Captain (copper) and/or copper sulfate by boat equipment by Princeton Hydro, LLC (NJDEP #97186A), 1108 Old York Road, Ringoes NJ 08551.

Alexander Road opened on Friday, May 15 with a whimper relative to the loud commotion that took place more than six weeks ago when the closing occurred. Pictured is a mail truck using the newly accessible route to deliver goods to Princetonians sheltering in place during the pandemic.

newspapers on a regular basis,” all communications expressing intense concern about the consequences of a six-month closure of such a major artery in and out of Princeton, said the chief. But that brouhaha was the good old days. COVID-19 has far upstaged Alexander Road on the scale of human suffering. Hardly anyone missed a train, because no one was commuting. No one was late for a soccer game, because they all have been cancelled. Only a handful of people cared about getting to the stores downtown because most are closed. Communiversity was cancelled, eliminating congestion nightmares. And there has been little traffic on the other arteries in and out of town, thus no problem for those needing access to the hospital. According to the police chief, the one thing the COVID crisis has given us is perspective. I try to talk with Chief Sutter on a regular basis to get his update on life in Princeton from a public safety perspective.

We last spoke at the end of December after the tragic death of The Jewish Center of Princeton’s Rabbi Adam Feldman, a very close friend of Chief Sutter’s. “I was devastated when he died, but this COVID situation takes devastation to a new level. It has changed how all of us approach life and certainly has changed policing.” Only two police officers were confirmed to have had the COVID-19 virus, but the unofficial numbers might be much higher, said the chief. “In February, a lot of people were sick in the department. It is not uncommon to have the flu affect a lot of the staff at once, but this seemed more intense. Our antibody tests we now are conducting are coming back with a lot of positives, so it is likely we had more cases than we thought. I am just so grateful that everyone is okay.” See LIFESTYLE, Page 8A

Congress can’t forget about the needs of cancer patients

A Packet Publication 7A

Calendar Continued from Page 2A

Every American faces uncertain and challenging times as we struggle with our new normal. For the New Jerseyans diagnosed with cancer this year, the stakes are even higher. Cancer patients, their families and their caregivers need to know that we’re still here for them – that the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) and its volunteers haven’t stopped advocating for critical research funds and access to health care. That’s why I am proud to have a visible way to raise awareness for cancer — a disease that will claim the lives of more than 15,000 people in New Jersey this year. Every year, ACS CAN volunteers like myself travel to Washington, D.C., to speak with Congress about how we can eliminate cancer. While things change rapidly as the world grapples with the coronavirus, one thing is certain: ACS CAN won’t let Congress forget about the needs of cancer patients and our mission to see a world without cancer. If anyone would like to get a Lights of Hope bag for someone they love or support the organization, go to acscan.org/ lightsofhope to help tell the story of your loved ones.

Rider University plans fall opening

By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Rider University, which moved to remote learning in response to COVID-19 in March, has formed a task force to create a plan for the fall semester in the wake of the pandemic, Rider University officials announced May 7. Rider officials expect the college to be fully open for the fall semester, including the relocation of Westminster Choir College from its Princeton campus to the Lawrence Township campus, President Gregory Dell’Omo said. But being “fully open” could mean many things, and that’s what the Fall 2020 Planning Task Force will explore, Dell’Omo said. “Even if the worst of the pandemic is behind us by then, we know there will be a lasting impact and possibly recurrences of the coronavirus that we must plan for now,” Dell’Omo said. To help plan for the fall semester, the Fall 2020 Planning Task Force will evaluate and recommend “a comprehensive plan to address the myriad of issues and challenges we will face next academic year,” he said. The task force will focus on four areas: academics, facilities and public health, the student experience, and finance and enrollment. It is being chaired by Kelly Bidle, the dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. “As much as we wish we could resume business as usual in the fall, it’s unrealistic to think this virus is going to suddenly disappear and not have any effect on our operations,” Bidle said. Dell’Omo agreed, and said that “in a perfect world,” officials would be able to predict exactly what will happen in September. But there are too many unknowns to be able to state what will occur, other than that officials will do all they can to protect the health and safety of the community while also focusing on academics, Dell’Omo said. The uncertainty carries over to potential students and their

families who are deciding where to enroll for college for the fall semester, officials said. “Given the uncertainty posed by the virus, it’s very challenging to predict with precision how it will affect enrollment,” said Kristine Brown, associate vice president for University Marketing and Communications. “To combat this uncertainty, we are doing everything within our power to support and engage potential students,” Brown said. Those efforts include creating “virtual” options for all admissions events and tours, intensive outreach to admitted students and extending the deposit deadline to June 1, Brown said. What is certain, however, is Westminster Choir College’s move from its Princeton campus to Rider University’s Lawrence Township campus in time for the fall semester, officials said. Westminster Choir College became part of Rider University in 1992 when the two schools merged. Rider University decided to sell Westminster Choir College for financial reasons in 2016. It launched a worldwide search for a buyer who would keep it in Princeton. It found a buyer, but when the deal fell through in July 2019, it was decided to consolidate the two campuses. “The campus transition is still taking place, and we expect renovations and construction in Omega House, Gill Chapel and Franklin B. Moore Library to be completed in time for the fall semester,” Brown said. Gill Chapel is being renovated to accommodate 13 new practice rooms for the Westminster Choir College students. The Franklin B. Moore Library is being renovated for the choir college’s extensive library collection, which includes books and sheet music. Rider University Provost DonnaJean Fredeen said officials “believe the decision to move forward with the transition at this time is critical to best preserve current and future Westminster enrollments, as well as supporting the vision for the combined Westminster College of the Arts in Lawrenceville.”

CosmeticforDentistry CLASSIC SMILES

Presented by James J. Cally, D.M.D. A PILE OF TROUBLE If you have not yet added “tongue scraping” to your morning brushing and flossing routine, the following description may help you get started. Some describe the buildup of bacteria and food debris that accumulates on the top of the tongue as a miniature “compost pile.” Because this collection of remains can produce bad breath, harbor unwanted bacteria, and hamper the working of the taste buds, dentists and hygienists strongly urge that their patients use “tongue scrapers.” These readily available oral hygiene devices are designed to clear the coating of debris that would otherwise remain on the surface of the tongue. It takes less than five seconds to draw the tongue scraper along the tongue, from back to front. One essential component of keeping your mouth and

teeth healthy is a regimen of carefully performed home oral hygiene. We can demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques and keep you informed about products like tongue scrapers that we know will help you maintain a healthy smile between routine dental checkups. For an appointment for family dental care, please call us at 609-9248300, Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman. “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. A tongue scraper is far more effective at removing bacteria and toxins than a toothbrush.

The changes in policing, however, have gone far beyond sitting six feet apart. To limit potential exposure to the virus, the department operated in shifts. Community policing, essentially ceased to exist. “When in our shift-operational phase, we could provide none of the extras – no robust social media, no pedestrian safety enforcement, no more community meetings or outreach to the youth in the community. But activity in town was at a standstill, so it was okay,” he said. “For the past several weeks, the police call volume has been down, especially in the central business district. Accidents involving cars have been reduced by 50%. Incidents of crime also have gone way down.” But as stores open, traffic – pedestrian and vehicular – increases, human interactions increase, the parking stresses increase with curbside pickup, and police activity will increase. There are also mental health issues, the chief noted; anger/anxiety/fear/frustration may play out in different ways among the residents. “The health and economic pressures are overwhelming. Transitioning out of this shutdown situation will be tricky. We never had a playbook for a pandemic. As a department, we are very good at handling emergency events, such as devastating storms or other disasters. These events have a

limited timeframe; and therefore, the operational adjustments are for a defined period of time. After a tough storm, for example, we generally are back on our feet in two weeks. In this pandemic situation, no one expected this, and no one has a playbook for returning to normalcy. We are mapping out our playbook as we go along.” Thus far, said the chief, the residents seem to be accommodating all the COVID transition protocols. “People seem respectful and well informed. We have gotten only a few complaints about social distancing, and everyone has been cooperative. Generally, breaking the protocols has been the result of carelessness, not civil disobedience. People seem to be paying attention and respectful. “Unlike in some communities, we haven’t had to police large congregations of people. Graduation time may be challenging. My heart bleeds for the graduates and their parents,” said the father of three boys, 16, 13 and 10 years old. “We have to remain nimble and flexible and expect the unexpected. I am very enthusiastic about normalcy, but with that we must be prepared for unanticipated consequences,” Chief Sutter said. From his perspective, it will be great to get back to the gym (no matter what the COVID-related rules) – and to listen to complaints about too much traffic on Alexander Road.

It is quite stylish sified as a subcompact SUV that with a curvy, aerodynamic stance

in the front, back, with a nice side profile as well. It looks exactly like a mini-Rogue. It has a crisp solid ride, takes bumps well and has a fairly noiseless cabin. The steering is spot on with precision like accuracy. Its interior design is smart and modern looking and its controls are not hard to navigate. However, if you are looking for the Nissan Rogue Sport to offer up a sporty ride or some type of performance ride, you won’t find it here, folks. For some reason, the design folks at Nissan decided to power this Rogue Sport with a 2.0 liter direct overhead cam, 16 valve, four cylinder engine that struggles to put out 141 horsepower and 147 pound feet of torque. When you combine that engine with the non-shifting, continuous-

ly variable transmission (CVT), it makes for an adequate ride, but really, nothing to write home about. That being said, since, everyone has his or her own driving style, there is room in the marketplace for this vehicle to be successful. My wife, who owns a Nissan Altima, would be perfectly comfortable driving this car. She has a conservative driving style, rarely, if ever, performs any aggressive maneuvers and always goes exactly what the speed limit says. I, on the other hand, am always looking to push the envelope a bit more and enjoy putting a car through its paces. This is not a vehicle that responds well to that test. In comparison, in case you were wondering, the full size Rogue comes standard with a 2.5 liter, four cylinder engine that puts out a more robust 170 horsepower. For what its worth, my suggestion is for Nissan to put a blower – or turbo – in the Rogue Sport engine to give it that little extra power push it needs. Nissan offers up the Rogue Sport in three models: the entry level S at a base price of $23,285; the SV ($25,085) and the top of the line SL, with a base price of $29,310. Each model is offered in front wheel or all wheel drive variations. My tester was the AWD SL that carried a bottom line sticker price of $33,020. Added options to my tester included: $395 for premium paint (Scarlet Ember); $280 for carpeted floor mats with cargo area protector and a first aid kit; $1,990 for a Premium Package and $1,045 for destination and delivery. The Premium Package includes a power sliding moonroof, LED low and high beam headlights and an auto dimming inside mirror with a Homelink universal transceiver. The EPA gas mileage ratings for the Rogue Sport are a reason-

ably impressive 27 miles per gallon overall – 30 mpg on the highway and 24 in city driving. The EPA estimates that the Rogue Sport will cost about $1,400 a year, on average, to gas up. It uses an estimated 3.7 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. The Rogue Sport SL AWD model has not been crash tested by the government’s 5-star safety rating test yet. Some of the nicer amenities that come standard with the 2019 Rogue Sport SL AWD include: 8 way power driver seat, including two way lumbar support; 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels; a Bose premium audio system with nine speakers; Apple Car Play and Android Auto; a 7-inch color display screen with multi touch control and navigation; a heated leather wrapped steering wheel, and more. Overall, the Nissan Rogue Sport has received fairly positive reviews from the general automotive press. Consumer Reports says, “The engine is pleasant, but not overly powerful. The Sport handles responsively and rides in a refined manner, with cabin noise kept to reasonable levels. We like the easy to use controls and infotainment system.” And, the folks at Car and Driver state, “It has an economical powertrain, soaks up bumps admirably and has a spacious and well designed cabin. It is competent, handsome and accommodating. This is one crossover you could bring home to meet your mother.” So, the bottom line here is, if you are looking for a good all around sub-compact crossover SUV and are not looking for an aggressive sporty vehicle, you should give this model serious consideration in this class.

State Continued from Page 4A be sure not to confuse hummingbirds with day-flying clearwing sphinx moths, which look like little fuzzy flying lobsters and are also known as hummingbird moths. In the spring, male hummingbirds put on acrobatic aerial displays to attract females. Their maneuvers include repeatedly soaring up to 100 feet in the air and plunging toward the ground. After mating, male ruby-throats are pretty much out of the picture, as females nest and raise young on their own. Female hummingbirds use nature’s original stretchy fiber – silk from spider webs – to bind dandelion and thistle down into a nest the size of a large thimble. Like jeans made of spandex, these nests stretch and expand as the hatchlings grow. It takes sharp eyes to spot hummingbird nests, as they are built on tree branches 10 to 40 feet high and cleverly camouflaged with lichen and moss. Hummingbirds can rapidly rotate their wings over 90 degrees at the shoulder socket. Every wing upstroke relies on back

muscles equally as powerful as the breast muscles that power the downstroke. No beat of a wing is wasted simply “lifting” the wing back to a starting position as in typical birds. Hovering is actually flying straight up, balanced against the downward pull of gravity. If you could magically switch off the force of gravity, the hummingbird would accelerate straight up like an Apollo rocket launch. Because of their speed and agility, hummingbirds are bold and fearless. They are highly territorial about food sources and will dive-bomb competitors for flowers and feeders. They have even been known to attack other species – including bald eagles, which weigh 1,600 times as much. To fuel all that flying, hummingbirds sip sugary nectar from flowers using long, hollow tongues that work like soda straws. They are critical pollinators for native plants with tubular flowers and their high metabolism requires many times their body weight in nectar each day. But hummingbirds also need protein.

They “flycatch” mosquitoes and midges in mid-air, and pick spiders and caterpillars off leaves. Because of their protein requirements, they prefer to nest near wetlands and stream corridors where insects are plentiful. It’s easy to attract ruby-throated hummingbirds to your backyard with brightly colored flowers and nectar feeders. Plant flowers like trumpet vine, bee balm, lobelia, salvia, butterfly weed, petunia, hibiscus, mandevilla, morning glory and native coral honeysuckle; hummingbirds especially like plants with bright red, orange and pink blossoms. You will hear their distinctive chattering peeps as they zip from flower to flower. Set up a feeder outside your window for maximum viewing pleasure. Most feeders are colored red to grab the hummingbirds’ attention and some have tiny perches to entice visitors to stay longer. Mixing hummingbird food is simple. Add a quarter-cup of table sugar to one cup of water, but leave out the food coloring because it could be harmful to the birds. Hang the feeder in a place that gets midday and afternoon shade. Clean the feeder and change the sugar water often because it can ferment in summer heat. Also, take care not to place the feeder in a place where hummingbirds will be vulnerable to cats. But don’t wait, because hummingbird season is short. By mid-August, most males

will begin their southward migration and females and juveniles will follow a few weeks later. The ruby-throated hummingbird population has probably increased over the last 50 years due to the abandonment of farmlands, the overall increase in thickets and shrubby habitats, and the prevalence of feeders. However, dangerous agricultural insecticides pose a threat in certain localities. If you are really into hummingbird watching, share your observations. Each year, thousands of citizen scientists track migrations, which helps researchers determine whether patterns are shifting due to climate change or other factors. One great site where you can report bird sightings is eBird, a project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology – www.ebird.org Another is www.hummingbirds.net, a website with constantly updating maps showing the annual hummingbird migration. For more information on identifying, observing and feeding hummingbirds, visit the Cornell Lab of Ornithology website at www. allaboutbirds.org/guide/ruby-throated_hummingbird/id S.

Public Notice Hillsborough Township Committee ORDINANCE 2020-16 An ordinance of the Township of Hillsborough, Somerset County, New Jersey, amending Chapter 188, Land Use and Development, Article V, Districts and Standards, Section 188-113.4 GV Green Village District, Section 118.5 Town Center District, and adding a new Section 118113.8 Multifamily Inclusionary District-1

NM-00430096

Notice is hereby given that the Hillsborough Township Committee will hold a meeting on Tuesday, June 9, 2020 beginning at 7:30 p.m., or at any time or place to which such meeting may be adjourned, in the Court Room at the Municipal Complex located at 379 South Branch Road, Hillsborough, New Jersey. The purpose of this meeting is to consider the adoption of a proposed ordinance that would amend two existing zoning districts and create one new district as outlined below. Section 1 of the ordinance would amend the existing Green Village District by increasing the maximum number of dwelling units currently permitted in the district by three units – from 599 to 603. The additional units would be located in existing buildings in the Green Village development located on Route 206 northbound. All three units would meet affordability standards. Section 2 of the ordinance would add a new overlay to the existing Town Center District. The “Multifamily Age-Restricted Inclusionary Overlay District” would apply to Lot 12 in Block 178 (see attached tax map), located on Amwell Road eastbound, adjacent to the Amwell Mall shopping center . This new overlay district would permit the construction of up to 42 age-restricted units (55+ years old) in a single-use multifamily building on a four-acre lot. A minimum of 33% of the units would meet affordability standards. The overall development would otherwise conform with all other applicable TC District standards.

Section 3 of the ordinance would create a new zone – “Multifamily Inclusionary District-1” – on Lot 227 in Block 151.09 (see attached tax map), which is a 44-acre parcel with frontage on Valley Road, and a northern boundary formed by the Norfolk Southern railroad. The property is presently zoned Industrial. The purpose of the new zone is to establish a multifamily residential district that provides for affordable housing, including housing for the special needs population. Both multifamily dwellings and townhomes would be permitted. The maximum number of units in the district would be capped at 223 with a minimum of 34 units meeting affordability standards. No less than 40% of the tract would be devoted to open space. You may participate in a teleconference by dialing 888-204-5987, access code 2604706. You can email pborek@hillsborough-nj.org 48 hours in advance of the scheduled meeting date with any comments or call 908-369-8314, 48 hours in advance of the scheduled meeting time.

Continued from Page 4A • Please forgive me. • I forgive you. • Thank you. • I love you. And the fifth, though not explicitly in Byock’s book: Goodbye. Though these conversations cannot be held at the bedside at the moment and are impossible when someone dies suddenly, they can still be had in some form that provides a sense of closure. A letter, for instance, can help address any thoughts or feelings that were left unresolved or unsaid. Some people may benefit from playing out the conversation they would have had with their loved one and contemplating the deceased’s responses. Others may enjoy talking with other people who were also close to their loved one. Additionally, though no substitute for in-person interactions, online gatherings and live-streamed services can provide an outlet for people to share stories and memories of the deceased and offer comfort for those left behind. For people struggling with grief, online counseling is

available. There is no question that the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have been disorienting for almost everyone. Few people have their regular routines any more, and the traditions and rituals that help mark life’s triumphs and its losses, have been suspended. This has made the grieving process more difficult, but in time, as tears turn into laughter, people will heal, move forward and find peace. As the effects of COVID-19 are felt throughout Central Jersey, Penn Medicine Princeton Health remains committed to providing high-quality, comprehensive care to the community 24/7. If you are debilitated by grief, whether from the loss of a loved one or the multiple losses felt by healthcare workers during the pandemic, Princeton House Behavioral Health may be able to help. To learn more, visit www. princetonhouse.org or call 888-437-1610. The Rev. Matthew Rhodes is the director of Religious Ministries at Penn Medicine Princeton Health.
