Eldridge Park students will witness life cycle of garden plants thanks to grant By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
Hoping to encourage little thumbs to become green thumbs, Janssen Pharmaceutical has donated $3,000 to the Eldridge Park School – through the Lawrence Township Education Foundation – for the elementary school’s Next Generation Garden project. Karen Faiman, the executive director of the Lawrence Township Education Foundation, presented a check for $3,000 to school district officials at the Lawrence Township Public Schools Board of Education’s Oct. 14 meeting. The grant will allow the Eldridge Park School to build four raised-bed garden boxes – one for
each grade level – so the students can grow carrots, lettuce, beets, basil, lavender and thyme. Each student in the grades K-3 elementary school will experience a particular cycle of the garden, from seed to germination to young plant and adult plant, said Kristin Burke, the district’s Elementary STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) supervisor. Kindergarten students will focus on the importance of nutrition and garden growth, and first grade students will learn about recycling and composting, Burke said. The second grade students will learn about the plant life cycle and the third grade students will design garden beds. Burke said that a portion of
the kindergarten and second grade Life Science standard focuses on planning and conducting an investigation to determine if plants need sunlight and water to grow. In the Next Generation Garden, the students will observe those four cycles – from seed to adult plant, she said. The students will learn that a plant begins its life as a seed, so they will plant seeds in the soil. Germination occurs after the seed has spent time in the soil. It begins to grow roots and sprouts. Young plants need sunlight and water to grow. The adult plant produces flowers, ensuring that the life cycle continues. “Students will walk away with a better understanding of what gardeners and farmers need to know
about plants in order to help them grow and thrive,” Burke said. In the process of establishing and growing a garden, the students also will learn how to collaborate and how to problem-solve as they hone their inquiry skills. Each grade level will be “immersed” in the science and engineering practices that are described in the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Science, she said. The science and engineering practices describe the behavior scientists engage in as they investigate, explore and question natural phenomena, said Sabrina Lucchesi. She teaches second- and third-grade students at the Eldridge Park School. “The activities designed for each grade level allow students to ask
questions, investigate and analyze data,” Lucchesi said. “For example, if a student recognizes an issue with plant growth, they may begin to design and strategize a solution to the problem, carry out this strategy and analyze their results.” The raised bed garden is an outgrowth of an earlier grant to the Lawrence Township Education Foundation, also from Janssen Pharmaceutical, Faiman said. Two years ago, Janssen Pharmaceutical donated $4,336 to the Lawrence Township Education Foundation, which in turn used the money to buy small greenhouses for the Eldridge Park, Lawrenceville, Ben Franklin and Slackwood elementary schools and for the grades 4-6 Lawrence Intermediate School.
Travel from the earth to the moon through new virtual experience The Lawrence Hopewell Trail (LHT) announce the 2020-21 Journey to the Moon, a virtual event that brings LHT fans together to collectively hike and bike 238,000 miles to the moon. Journey to the Moon was launched to the LHT’s loyal social media followers on Oct. 2 to celebrate the first of this month’s two full moons, and will run through March 1, 2021. The event hopes to rally fans and friends to collectively log enough miles to travel from the earth to the moon. That 238,000mile journey is a bit daunting, so each earth mile will be recorded in “LHT Miles.” Each LHT mile will equal 22 miles, or the length of the LHT, making the virtual journey

The Trail at Princeton Pike approved
By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
The Trail at Princeton Pike townhouse and apartment development, planned for a 35-acre site at the end of Lenox Drive in the Princeton Pike Corporate Center, was approved by the Lawrence Township Planning Board at a special meeting Oct. 26. The application submitted by JAS Homes Inc., which was approved by a 5-4 vote, is part of Lawrence Township’s settlement agreement with the Fair Share Housing Center. The non-profit group sued Lawrence Township – and many other New Jersey towns – over their alleged failure to provide its fair share of affordable housing. Planning Board members Maria Connolly, Jon Dauber, Terrence Leggett, Ed Wiznitzer and Municipal Manager Kevin Nerwinski, who sits on the board, voted “yes.” The “no” votes were cast by board members Ian Dember, Philip Duran and Kim Taylor, and Lawrence Township Councilman Christopher Bobbitt, who also sits on the board. The Trail at Princeton Pike is planned for the site of two office buildings that were approved but never built. The land was rezoned in 2017 to permit residential uses in conjunction with the Fair Share Housing Center lawsuit settlement. The 189-unit development includes 145 market-rate townhouses and 44 affordable rental apartments. The townhouses will be for sale, at a price of $460,000 to $500,000. The rental apartments will be clustered in two buildings, across the street from some of the townhouses. The townhouses will have three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and a one-car or two-car garage. The rental apartments will include one, two- and three-bedroom units. Parking will be in a parking lot outside of the apartment buildings. The plan to cluster the apart-
ments, which are earmarked for low- and moderate-income households, was a bone of contention for the four dissenting Planning Board members. They favored dispersing the affordable units among the townhouses to avoid stigmatizing the residents who would live in the affordable housing units. Kim Taylor, one of the Planning Board members who voted against approving the application, said the failure to integrate the affordable housing units in with the market rate units amounted to segregated housing – socially and financially. “This is not consistent with Lawrence Township’s values. Why, in 2020, are we taking a step backwards? This is not good for Lawrence Township, in my opinion,” Taylor said. Other developments that include affordable housing have interspersed the units among the market rate units, she said. Brian Slaugh, the Planning Board’s planning consultant, said the developer’s agreement with the town – which grew out of the lawsuit settlement – allows for market rate units to be located on one part of the site and for the affordable units to be located elsewhere on the site “even if we prefer something else.” Planning Board attorney Ed Schmierer said the developer’s agreement was approved by the Lawrence Township Council, and that there is precedent for allowing two different types of housing – market rate and affordable – on the same parcel. Schmierer pointed to the Griggs Farm development in Princeton, which separates the market rate units from the affordable housing units. The application also drew criticism from some Lawrence Township residents. John Emmons said he supports the need to provide affordable housing, but this is not the right location. It is at the end of an office
park, and he compared it to a pending application for affordable housing on land next to the Lawrence Shopping Center. Unlike The Trail at Princeton Pike, the residents of that development would be able to walk to school, to the grocery store and to recreational opportunities, Emmons said. The Trail at Princeton Pike development is being driven by a desire to maximize profit, which is not the intent of meeting the need to provide affordable housing, he said. Paul Larson, who is the vice president of the Lawrence Historical Society’s board of trustees, said the applicant should have conducted additional archeological studies of the land, which is near the Lawrence Township-owned Brearley House. The 18th-century farmhouse was built by one of the earliest settlers in the township. Larson also criticized the proximity of the development to the Brearley House, and the lack of buffering between the development and the historic house. The applicant cleared out some trees and underbrush on its own land near the house without township officials’ permission two years ago. “This is not a proper buffer to the Brearley House at all. It is an irreversible encroachment on the Brearley House,” Larson said. It is also an encroachment on an adjacent pre-historic site traced back to the Leni Lenape Indians, he said.
10,818 LHT miles in length, according to a statement provided by event organizers. Participants can log miles on or off the LHT by biking, walking, jogging, skating, walking the dog, or even from a treadmill or spin bike. All ages and fitness levels are welcome, and groups are encouraged. Participants can log their miles using the Journey to the Moon uploader and view the Journey to the Moon tracker to check collective progress. They are also invited to follow the Journey to the Moon Facebook Group for updates, fun facts, and to share progress #LHTJourneytotheMoon Over the coming weeks the LHT will offer personal mileage trackers, fundraising opportunities, a series of fun facts and pop culture trivia through their Facebook, Instagram and Twitter feeds.
Journey to the Moon was created as a way to foster connection and inspire trail use despite the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced the LHT to cancel its annual Full Moon Ride, according to the statement.
The Lawrence Hopewell Trail (LHT) is a 22+ mile bicycle and pedestrian trail and transportation corridor through public and private land in Lawrence and Hopewell townships. The Lawrence Hopewell Trail Corporation is a nonprofit organization that depends on the community for support.

THE STATE WE’RE IN

Harnessing nature to fight climate change
M
any of us love huge old trees. Their beauty, size and feeling of the passing of time leave us in awe. But they also contribute to life on this planet and make it livable for humans and so many incredible life forms. But they also absorb harmful carbon dioxide from the air and release oxygen. The carbon is stored, or sequestered, in the wood of the tree’s trunk, branches and roots, and in its leaves and the organic components of soil. With the advent of a rapidly changing climate, the ability of trees and forests to sequester carbon is getting some attention in this state we’re in. A new report on the state’s climate change response by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is highlighting the role of natural solutions – that is, using the power of nature – as a key strategy in addressing climate issues. The 80×50 refers to the state’s target of reducing carbon emissions 80% from 2006 levels by 2050. The state’s Global Warming Response Act requires the DEP to track emissions with respect to the target, lay out a strategy and adopt measures to ensure the targets are met. The 200-page report describes various carbon reduction strategies for transportation, electricity generation, homes, commercial businesses and industry. But it also focuses on the need to protect and enhance the amount of carbon stored in New Jersey’s lands. The report outlines five important ways that trees, forests, wetlands, marshes and farms can offset emissions by sequestering more carbon: • Reforestation – Planting new trees can significantly boost the amounts of carbon stored in soil and woody biomass.
HEALTH MATTERS
Reforestation can take many forms, including planting trees in urban and suburban neighborhoods, planting more trees on pastures and croplands at New Jersey farms, and reforesting wetlands and other lands that were previously covered in forest. Efforts are underway to plant trees in cities, including the New Jersey Tree Foundation’s ongoing project in Camden, but much, much more is needed. • Avoiding the conversion of natural lands – Unfortunately, the trend in New Jersey over the course of the last several decades has been to cut down forests and pave over farms and natural areas for residential and commercial development and other land uses. Between 1986 and 2015, the state saw a 360,000-acre increase in land categorized as urban or developed, and decreases in acreage of upland forests, cropland, grassland and wetlands. But the good news is that the state, through Green Acres and other land preservation initiatives, is actively protecting forests for their ecological value. • Conservation management of agricultural lands – New Jersey has more than 411,000 acres of harvested cropland which could benefit from improved land management practices to help reduce carbon losses. Best management practices such as little or no tilling of fields, planting cover crops in winter and increasing the organic carbon content of soils can enhance “carbon sinks” and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Between 2012 and 2017, New Jersey saw a 25% increase in acreage of cover crop, with more than 63,000 acres of planted cover crops in 2017. And in 2017, New Jersey farmers employed no-till practices on 104,499 acres of cropland. • Salt marsh and seagrass restoration and enhance-
ment – Salt marshes and seagrass store carbon at a rapid rate and can sequester carbon in the soil for thousands of years. Wetland ecosystems are excellent at storing carbon because their wet soils are low in oxygen, which slows down decomposition and allows organic material to build up. The report warns that the state’s tidal salt marshes could decline between 5% and 9% by 2050 due to sea level rise and recommends steps to protect these marshes by allowing them to migrate inland. • Proactive forest management – Critical “carbon sinks” in New Jersey’s forests are at risk from wildfires, invasive plants, pests, diseases and overabundant deer, as well as sea level rise. Proposed innovations include adopting carbon sequestration criteria as part of the Community Based Deer Management Plans and expanding deer population management tools on private forest lands. Carbon defense, which is protecting carbon already sequestered in forests, especially via selective thinning in the Pine Barrens to prevent catastrophic losses due to insect infestations and wildfires, can also promote rare species. Protecting existing forests through carbon defense and growing new forests and healing soil with a carbon offensive strategy can “deliver significant reductions in New Jersey’s net carbon emissions cost-effectively,” according to the report. The report concludes that natural solutions have the potential to increase carbon sequestration in the landscape by 33% by 2050. The state can’t meet its 2050 emissions targets without them.

unning has seen a surge in popularity this year. The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted people to lace up their sneakers and head outdoors for this socially distanced exercise that is good for both the body, and the mind. But while the physical and mental benefits of running are many, there remains a risk for injury, no matter if you are a long-timer runner or just recently picked up the sport as a pandemic past-time. Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center Princeton Rehabilitation offers a physical therapy program for runners for the assessment and treatment of running-related injuries with a

Presented by James J. Cally, D.M.D. THE FLOSSING SEQUENCE There is a reason dentists ask their patients at every visit if they floss their teeth. Flossing helps prevent gum disease and the sneaky cavities that form between teeth. And those who floss their teeth at all are already doing better than 70 percent of Americans. But it is possible you are making a pretty big mistake if you are flossing after you brush your teeth. Flossing releases food, plaque, and bacteria into the mouth, and if you have already brushed your teeth, all that is going to linger in your mouth until the next time you brush. Flossing first also makes brushing more effective by allowing toothpaste and bristles to reach areas that were blocked by food and plaque. Everyone can benefit from preventive dental care. Experience proves it is to your advantage to take time for your oral health no matter how busy your personal or professional schedule. A few
minutes spent each day on your teeth can not only help preserve good dental health, but it can also help you save on future dental visits. Nothing is more economical than regular dental checkups, so please let us help you take care of your dental health. We are located at Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman; you can reach us at 609-9248300. “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. If you are only going to floss once a day (twice is recommended) it is better to do so at night after you’ve finished eating for the day so that food does not sit between your teeth overnight.

focus on running biomechanics and injury prevention. From Your Hips to Your Feet A recently released study by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) found that at any given time, 25-36% of runners have a running-related injury. Most running-related injuries are chronic and the knees are affected most often, though injuries to the calf, ankle and foot are also common. In the large majority of cases, these injuries develop over time due to weakness in the hip, or more specifically the gluteal muscles, the main hip muscles that act as the powerhouse for your legs. Weakness in these muscles can cause your body to compensate and overuse or strain other areas while running. One of the most common injuries that runners develop due to gluteal weakness (specifically the gluteus medius muscle) is iliotibial tendonitis – or in runners’ parlance, IT band tendonitis. The condition occurs when the iliotibial band – the tendon that runs from your pelvis to just below your knee – is overused and becomes tight and pulls, resulting in inflammation and pain on the side and front of your knee. Injuries to your ankles and feet are often related to overpronation, a condition in which the feet roll inward when walking and running. Overpronation can lead to tendonitis in the foot, ankle and lower leg as well as pain on the inside of the ankle and foot. Additionally, overpronation can lead to shin splints. Tips for Preventing Injuries • Keep your hips strong with exercises that target your gluteal muscles and core. This can include lateral leg lifts, squats, bridges, and one-leg balance activities. Also, sitting for too long or in one position, such as with your legs crossed, can cause your hip flexors to shorten and gluteal muscles to weaken over time. If you sit most of the day, be sure to get up and move around at least once an hour to give your hips a break. • Wear the proper footwear. The AAOS recommends selecting a running shoe that offers good shock absorption and construction that will provide stability and cushioning to the

foot. Make sure that there is a thumbnail’s width between the end of the longest toe and the end of the shoe. Buy shoes at the end of the day when your foot is at its largest size. • Warm up before you head out. An active warm up can help loosen up your muscles and prepare your body for a run. Make squats and lunges part of your warmup routine. • Save static stretching for your post-run cool down. Hold stretches for at least 30 seconds to allow your muscles to stretch properly. Figure four stretches (for the piriformis and gluteal muscles) and hip flexor stretches are good to perform after running. • Choose forgiving surfaces. If possible, try to run on softer surfaces like dirt paths and trails, to reduce the impact on your joints. Concrete is the least forgiving surface for runners. • Vary your route. Do you run on the same side of the road or take the same path each time you run? Typically roads and paths are banked to one side, which means so is your body. Over time this can lead to injury. • Do not run through pain. Toss out that old saying “No pain, no gain.” If you experience pain while running, stop and give your body a break. If the pain continues, it might be time to see a physical therapist. • Keep a training log. Logging your activity and noting when and where pain first starts can help your physical therapist identify the cause of the problem and develop an effective treatment plan. Rehab for Runners Injuries happen, and when they do, it is important to seek medical treatment. In many cases, physical therapy can help treat the condition and prevent future injuries. The Princeton Rehabilitation Runners’ Clinic and Rehabilitation Program provides each patient with a running specific evaluation, including: • Assessment of posture, range of motion, strength and flexibility. • Video analysis of running technique on a running treadmill (posterior and lateral views) using a camera and running analysis software. • Comprehensive home exercise program. Follow up sessions include: • Manual techniques as needed. • Specific stretching and strengthening exercises as well as closed chain activities. • Instruction in running technique and injury prevention. Patients can also expect to receive a comprehensive home exercise program. To learn more about the Princeton Rehabilitation Runners’ Clinic and Rehabilitation Program, call 609-853-7840.

HomeFront Family Campus celebrates fifth anniversary By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
Samantha grew up in a household where drug addiction was normal and freely admits that she never knew a life without drugs – until she came to HomeFront. At that point, Samantha had been separated from her two children, and she was pregnant with her third child. Samantha spent six months at HomeFront’s Family Campus in Ewing Township, where she took part in many programs, including HomeFront’s “My Baby and Me” addiction treatment program. Samantha has been “clean” for more than 18 months. She is working and has been reunited with her children. They live in their own home. The HomeFront Family Campus, which celebrated its fifth anniversary last month, is housed in a building that was the former home of the U.S. Marine Corps’ Marine Reserve Center at 361 Scotch Road. HomeFront acquired the 8.5-acre decommissioned Naval base after lengthy negotiations. HomeFront was inspired to acquire the 42,000-square-foot building after the State of New Jersey sold the Katzenbach School for the Deaf campus, which was the initial location of the HomeFront Family Campus, formerly known as the Family Preservation Center. The name was changed
when it moved to its current home. The state’s decision to sell the Katzenbach campus galvanized HomeFront officials to take steps to buy a property – and that’s when it zeroed in on the drab, industrial-looking U.S. Marine Corps’ Marine Reserve Center. But it was not an easy task. It took more than seven years to acquire the property – which was given to HomeFront for free – and more than a year to complete the transformation into a bright and airy home for 38 families that stay there until they can get back on their feet. HomeFront raised $6 million for renovations. Taking ownership of the property meant that HomeFront could expand the Family Preservation Center and its services, said Connie Mercer, the nonprofit group’s founder and executive director. It also provided a measure of security for HomeFront, moving it from tenant to owner. There are counseling rooms, classrooms, a large computer room and a smaller computer room, a child care center, an art room and a teaching kitchen with five stations on the first two floors of the building. The teaching kitchen allows clients to learn about nutrition and cooking, and also practice culinary arts skills they may learn in preparation for a job. The top floor features offices for the family advocates who help the clients, plus a small family lounge and a large library
with an oversized glass window. Having offices for the community partners who help the clients all under one roof eliminates the need for transportation from a shelter to agency offices. In the last five years, the HomeFront Family Campus has provided nearly 3,000 homeless individuals with shelter, and the chance to change their lives by offering education, job training and placement,
children’s programs and life skills classes. The HomeFront Family Campus’ comprehensive services model was designed on the basis of its years of experience working with families that had found themselves homeless and in need of a helping hand. “We realized early on that it wasn’t enough to have a roof over your head. You need to address all of the underlying issues of homelessness,” Mercer said.

Q
. Where did you grow up? A. I grew up in Rockaway NJ in a lake community called White Meadow Lake which is in Morris County. After high school, I attended Ramapo College of New Jersey in Bergen County to obtain my Bachelor Degree in Business. I purchased by first condo in Middlesex County and now I live and raise my family in Hillsborough in Somerset County. I love Hillsborough and it’s central location to everything. I’m a life-long Jersey Girl at heart and understand the demographics and housing market in different communities.
Q
. What do you see in the future for Real Estate sales and prices? A. In my 25 years of selling real estate, I have seen markets swing in varying degrees. I have sold in buyers’ markets and sold in sellers’ markets. Although it is very hard to predict the future, the real estate market has been very strong the last couple of years. Interest rates are at an alltime low so many first-time homebuyers are trying to get into the market. I also see an increase in the number of investors looking to enter the market.
Q
. What do you enjoy doing when you are not working? A. In addition to being with my family, I like to stay active by working out, biking and walking. I also recently completed my first Rugged Maniac race. For the past 10
years, I was a volunteer for the Fresh Air Fund where I was the chairperson for all of Somerset and Hunterdon County. I was responsible for recruiting families to host inner-city children for summer vacations. We were also a host family and enjoyed having kids at our house all summer.
Q
. What are the top 3 things that separate you from your competition? A. First, I take a very honest and comprehensive look at my client’s situation, family, financial goals, and the marketplace. Next, I build a relationship with my client and embrace their goals as my own. Finally, I accept a high level of responsibility for my clients’ satisfaction and achievement of these goals.
Q
. How long have you worked in real estate? A. I started in the mortgage business after college and decided to transition to real estate in 1992. I worked as a sales associate with the Top Producing Agent at Prudential NJ Properties. We were the #1 Award Winning Sales Team in the entire company. I switched to Keller Williams Realty in 2013 and have been a Top Producing Agent as well as the Director of Agent Services. I was also involved in the New Agent Mentoring and Training Program.
Q
. What is your specialty? A. I love working with first time homebuyers. There is nothing more rewarding than helping someone purchase their first home. I also work with investors. I have invested in many properties 2230 Route 206, myself, I’m currently a landlord and I have successfully Belle Mead, NJ 08502 flipped homes.
