T

wo South Brunswick High School alumnae, Essence Baker and JadaRae Poku, shared the message “Black lives matter, and we demand justice” during the South Brunswick Walks for Justice march. An overwhelming number of supporters marched with them for 3.3 miles on June 12, starting and ending at South Brunswick High School. “Having grown up in our lovely town, we have always loved being able to look at our fellow classmates and neighbors and to see so much diversity. It is that diversity that we aim to continue to unite and encourage,” the two said in a joint statement. Invited speakers included Scott Feder,

South Brunswick School District superintendent; Andrew Zwicker, a member of New Jersey’s General Assembly; Cantor Bruce Rockman, South Brunswicks’s Interfaith Clergy Association chair; former school board member Azra Baig; and Edwin Lloyd. “We were overwhelmed with the amount of support we received from the South Brunswick community. Our marchers were all ages, old and young, we had a beautiful diverse crowd,” Poku said. “Many people slowed down to honk their horn as we marched up Route 522, people stood outside with signs showing support and joined in the march as we passed their homes. Our speakers gave very powerful and inspiring messages about the importance of diversity, inclusion and acceptance.

“They also stressed the importance of voting as we had voter registration and census paperwork in different languages so everyone was able to receive and benefit. I was estimating a crowd of 700 to 800 people, but have seen some articles saying about 1,000 people came to stand in solidarity. “We concluded our event back at the high school with a moment of silence for all the lives lost. We plan to continue with efforts that will unite and educate our community,” Poku said. The march drew even more attention since two deer that ran from the high school property injured three people in attendance. A 69-year-old woman had just begun to march on Stouts Lane at about 5:44 p.m. when a deer ran onto Stouts Lane and

struck her. The woman suffered serious head and facial injuries. She was immediately treated by officers and a bystander. She was taken to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, New Brunswick. The woman was released from the hospital and was recovering at home as of June 16, according to the South Brunswick Police Department. Police Chief Raymond Hayducka credited Detective Bryan Sites and a bystander for their fast actions. “Detective Sites saw the incident and immediately reacted to stop the woman’s bleeding. He applied pressure to her head wounds and called for EMS. The actions of Detective Sites along with the bystander saved the woman,” Hayducka said. Two other people injured in the incident received minor injuries.

Cantor looks back on career in Jewish music as she retires

W

hen Anna West Ott entered Anshe Emeth Memorial Temple in New Brunswick in April 1999 for her interview to become its cantor, she recognized the opportunity that awaited her. The position would bring her home to Central New Jersey, where she was raised. It also would allow her to fulfill her vision of a congregation that not only worshiped together, but made and enjoyed music as a community. Twenty-one years later as she prepared to retire, Ott looked back on a fulfilling career that placed her among the vanguard of Jewish musicians and clergy who have been transforming the use of music in sacred and community settings. By 1999, musical traditions in Reform congregations had been evolving. Drums, bass, guitars and wind instruments were being heard with more folk-style music at Sabbath and holiday services. The changes had been percolating in a few synagogues in New York and Los Angeles since the 1990s. Ancient songs, prayers and chants were being updated with new melodies and rhythms by artists like Debbie Friedman, Craig Taubman and Jeff Klepper. Ott, who had entered the clergy in midlife as a seasoned performer and teacher, embraced this new direction enthusiastically and was excited for the chance to bring her own vision to this historic congregation dating to 1859. “Although I didn’t grow up in the Reform movement, I was drawn to the notion of full music, with choirs and instruments and beautiful full-voiced singing that I’d heard in Reform temples,” she said. Raised in Metuchen, where she attended Congregation Neve Shalom, Ott was yeshiva-educated through high school at Hillel Academy in Perth Amboy and the Bruriah School for Girls in Elizabeth. She majored in music education and piano at Douglass College, and sang in the Kirkpatrick Chapel Choir. After college, she taught vocal music in the Piscataway elementary schools for 10 years and also sang professionally. While performing and teaching music were always her chosen vocations, becoming a cantor, which required a seminary education, was not on Ott’s trajectory during the first 40-plus years of her life. But connections to area Reform synagogues soon would plant the idea. In the 1980s, she served as a section leader for the choir at Temple B’nai Shalom in East Brunswick, while being a stay-at-home mom to her three sons. She joined Temple Sholom in Plainfield, where she was asked

Hall. Taking Anshe Emeth into the greater interfaith community of New Brunswick helped bring about the return of the annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Service with clergy and congregations of many local houses of worship, including Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Native American, Buddhist and Hindu sharing words of unity along with their music. Ott collaborated on joint concerts with music directors in the interfaith community and gatherings for Martin Luther King Day and Earth Day. John Sheridan, organist and music director of Christ Church, joined Kol Emet as a singer in 2015. Ott’s partnership with pianist/composer Dave Schlossberg, known affectionately as “Piano Dave,” brought together two talented artists devoted to turning every Shabbat service into a musical celebration. She met Dave when he was 16 and a lifelong member of Anshe Emeth. Tipped off that he was a superb pianist, Ott asked him to play “Rhapsody in Blue” for her. When she needed a lead-sheet player to add chords and depth to traditional melodies, she asked him to flesh out some tunes, and a partnership was born. Schlossberg became the keyboard player with the Awesome Band and his playing time increased, while he studied piano performance at the College of New Jersey. In 2009, he became the temple’s fulltime Collaborative Keyboard Artist and an integral part of the music at Anshe Emeth. Schlossberg was the accompanist for an event that Ott calls her “most exciting and memorable career moment.” In July 2017, Kol Emet sang at the North American Jewish Choral Festival, an event attended by 500 cantors, rabbis, soloists, music directors, accompanists, composers “and all those who love and believe in Jewish choral music as an important statement of pride and unity.” Kol Emet performed six pieces and received a standing ovation, “that will not long be forgotten” she said. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ott’s retirement celebrations had to be altered and her farewell dinner canceled. But temple members presented a concert in her honor via Zoom, and she celebrated her last service on Zoom on June 12. The “retirement weekend” concludes with a virtual concert by Anshe Emeth favorite Noah Aronson. Her retirement is official on June 30. • This article was submitted by Anshe Emeth Memorial Temple, as told to Sandra Lanman. Real Estate.................................................... 11

The birth of our nation – we must protect the freedom we have

I

n Philadelphia on July 4, 1776, the delegates to the Second Continental Congress ratified a declaration of the delegates called the Declaration of Independence. The purpose of this declaration was to set forth the grievances the colonies had against the king and crown in their governance of the colonies. Among other things, the delegates notified the king that they wanted to dissolve the political bonds that connected the colonies to England and to become a free and independent nation. This missive was sent to the king. Naturally, he wasn’t going to yield to its demands. The crown already had several garrisons of troops stationed in the colonies. The king’s reaction was to send more troops to enforce his authority. The American colonist was a stoic individual: part frontiersman, part farmer, part tradesman. He grew up taming a wilderness and making it into his home. A bunch of British in white wigs and fancy pants were not going to hijack his home. The colonies were a rich plum for the king and his Loyalists. They did not want to see this income-producing land slip through their fingers. The dynamics of the situation kept moving the sides towards armed confrontation.

That day finally came on April 19,1775. hind rock walls, trees and buildings, the The British troops and members of the Colonials took out the officers leading the Massachusetts militia converged upon each British battle march and caused disarray other at a bridge crossing a small creek in among their troops.

operations gradually pushed the British towards the sea. At some point, Lord Cornwallis realized the futility of the British cause and loaded his troops aboard ships bound for England. The land battles in the Colonies was over. Of course the British would come back for a second bite at the apple in 1812. A stronger and more organized United States of America would turn them back again. The diplomatic war for independence would take place in Paris, France. Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and John Jay would help authoring the 1783 Treaty of Paris. That treaty, which was ratified by the British Parliament, recognized the United States of American as a free and independent nation. There were many clauses in the Treaty dealing with many issues separating the U.S from England. But, the long and short of it is, the United States of America is a free and independent nation. The ratification of that treaty was one of the smartest things the British Parliament would ever do. While there was some animosity at first, in later years the two nations would be staunch allies.

Democrat incumbents listed on ballot for N.B. primary By JENNIFER AMATO Managing Editor

NORTH BRUNSWICK – Democratic North Brunswick Township Council incumbents Bob Davis and Claribel Cortes will be running for re-election in the November general election. Below is a brief profile ahead of the July 7 primary. There are no challengers listed on the ballot thus far. Claribel Cortes has lived in North Brunswick for 17 years. She is a media executive with more than two decades of experience in digital and broadcast markets. She is currently completing an executive program at Penn State University in social impact strategy, and will continue on to an MPA. Cortes is the vice chair of the statewide Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey, where she serves as an advocate for more than 120,000 businesses that call New Jersey home. As an avid runner and marathoner, she volunteers as a head coach for the organization Girls on the Run. She served on the North Brunswick Board of Education for more than three years. She was the chair of the Community Relations Committee and was part of the Policy Committee. “During my tenure on the board, the district was able to help close the funding gap by $13 million. While a lot of work still needs to be done, and our community is still unfunded by $19 million, we are in a better position today than we were three years ago,” she said. Cortes joined the Township Council earlier this year after the passing of longtime Councilman Bob Corbin. She said she is running for election to a three-year term “because North Brunswick has been our family home for 17 years and I want to continue to see our town prosper. I cannot think of a better time to give back and use my professional and community experience to ensure that our town continues to find new innovative ways to ensure that North Brunswick is a great place to live, work and learn,” she said. Cortes said increased community involvement and communication are two avenues she would like to focus on. “Now more than ever, we need to focus on unity and connect with our residents on the issues that affect them. Still, it’s not just about conversations, it is also about taking those concerns and taking collective

action. “Previously I mentioned the accomplishments as it relates to funding our schools, and while progress has been made, our school district is still underfunded by $19 million. It’s been proven that fair funding is not an issue just for parents, but for all residents. If we are underfunded, that has a domino effect, so it is vital that we do not ignore it. “I will continue to work with key stakeholders and ensure our community re-

ceives the funding that is due to them. I’m also a big advocate for partnerships and programs. There are a lot of grants that are focused on community-driven initiatives. Finding the right partnerships and grants will help our town find resources for residents of all ages without affecting our fiscal budget. “Also, the upcoming construction of the train station continues to dominate many conversations within our community. Seeing the completion of our new train station and the main street area will take some time, but it’s a project I will support because it will help bring much-needed revenue and jobs into North Brunswick,” she said.

village project, which will bring significant revenues to North Brunswick; helping to stabilize municipal taxes; and serving on the North Brunswick Sept. 11 Committee. He was a charter donor of the North Brunswick Education Foundation and is a member of the North Brunswick Adams Athletic and Social Club. “My main reason for running again is the same as it has been for the past 18 years, and that is to keep North Brunswick the wonderful community it has become and to help our residents in any way I can. I was brought up to be a person who gives back to the community I live in and I feel I have accomplished that so far and will continue to do that,” he said. Davis said his three top issues are stabilizing taxes, public safety and diversity. “Keep taxes as low as possible and continue having all the services that we as residents have. Will look at all line items when we work on the budget to see where there may be areas to cut back on without detriment to our residents. “Unfortunately, we do not live in a perfect world, but I will continue to make sure we have the excellent police force in town which has lowered all types of crimes and made our residents feel safe. “Make sure all of our residents are treated the same no matter their race, religion, ethnicity, etc. In the past I had to deal with anti-Semitism and I know what it’s like. I will do everything in my power to make our residents feel comfortable and be proud we all live in North Brunswick,” he said. Primary Day is July 7. Only select polling places will be open. Voters are encouraged to vote by mail.

South Brunswick candidates set for primary on July 7 By JENNIFER AMATO Managing Editor

SOUTH BRUNSWICK – Three Democrat incumbents will be challenged by three Republican candidates in the November general election. Three four-year terms on the South Brunswick Township Council will be available. Primary day in New Jersey is July 7. Joe Camarota (D) has been a resident of South Brunswick for 32 years. He is a family entertainment consultant. He has served on the council since 2005 as a Democratic councilman and as deputy mayor. He has been involved with South Brunswick’s Recreation Advisory Board, Zoning Board of Adjustment, Aquatic Task Force, Economic Development Committee, Kingston Village Advisory Committee, Municipal Alliance Against Substance Abuse, Board of Health, Transportation Advisory Committee, Task Force Opposing NESE, Mapleton Preserve Commission, Social Services Committee, VFW Post 9111, Hugs for Brady Foundation, St. Augustine Roman Catholic Church and Princeton Manor Homeowners Association. He has been involved in soccer and basketball leagues in North Brunswick, South Brunswick and East Brunswick. Camarota considers some of his greatest accomplishments over the years to be increasing the number of recreational and passive parks, upgrading and improving existing parks and the renovation of the township’s Community Center; Spearheading a project with the New Jersey Department of Transportation, after being told the project would not occur, to implement the Route 1 Shoulder Running Plan. This expanded Route 1 to three lanes each way during peak traffic hours by using the shoulders of the highway; Working with Code Enforcement, the Economic Development Committee and the Planning Department in improving the tenancy review process that created a cooperative relationship with current and perspective businesses in South Brunswick. Their increased and continuing presence in town has allowed the town to maintain a stable municipal tax rate; And being part of a collaborative team that assisted in having the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection deny the required permits for the Northeast Supply Enhancement Project this year. “I am very passionate when it comes to civic duty and responsibility. It is something that has consumed my entire adult life. Those choices have allowed me to use those experiences in my everyday decision making. “It also provided me with the needed

balance to approach each decision with the necessary temperament that permits one to view each issue from every possible perspective. That enables me to provide the critical analysis needed to render a wellinformed decision,” Camarota said. “Having a strong educational background, combined with over 35 years of civic participation, and close to 50 years as a small business person, has provided me with the necessary skill set that is demanded from today’s local government officials. “Being able to work with the public and private sectors, understanding budgets, having the correct temperament and realizing that being a councilperson is an honor and privilege and that we are only there to serve and represent the individuals of our community, is why I am running in this year’s election,” he said. Camarota said the health, safety and welfare of every resident in South Brunswick is of most paramount concern; while being fiscally responsible and keeping a stable municipal tax rate, to maintain a level of services, in particular, within the police, public works, health, EMS, fire and safety and transportation departments. “The devastating effect this insidious virus (COVID-19) has had on our community, state and country still has to be determined. Our Office of Emergency Management (OEM) has done outstanding work in diminishing the impact on South Brunswick in terms of reported cases and the mortality rate. “Despite those extraordinary efforts, this pandemic has and will continue to have an detrimental influence on every aspect of life in our town. We will need to create a task force, consisting of individuals, businesses, civic and religious groups, service and professional organizations in conjunction with our OEM, mayor and council to address this calamity,” he said. Camarota also mentioned South Brunswick being the benchmark for affordability housing in New Jersey for the first two rounds. “And for Round 3, with the inability of our state representatives to properly legislate this, thus losing their jurisdiction over this to our court system, we became the outliers. We will continue our efforts in working with the courts to establish a fair and reasonable number of needed units,” he said. Archana (Ann) Grover (D) has lived in town for 40 years. She is a purchasing specialist for Middlesex County. She also is a Notary Public. She volunteers at local temples and serves as a union leader in AFSCME Local 3440. She is the council liaison to the Commission on Women, Human Relations

Committee and Environmental Board. She has served on the zoning board in the past. “The time I have spent on these various boards has emboldened my commitment to the township and helped me see how I can help our town be successful and ensure all voices are heard,” she said. Grover has been a county and township committee person since 1999, and has served on the Township Council since 2018. “As a councilwoman these last two years, I have been actively participating to ensure all voices are heard and to ensure all perspectives are considered on council matters. I enjoy doing this type of work to give back to my community which in turn has given my family and I so much,” she said. She is concerned about community unity in town. “We are a very diverse community and I have and will continue to make every effort to work together with all residents to make South Brunswick one of the best places to live and raise a family,” she said. She said she wants to help keep South Brunswick a suburb. “We as a team want to keep South Brunswick a suburban community by ensuring no overcrowding and not put more burden on the current infrastructure. Our goal is to maintain stable municipal taxes, which are the lowest among comparable communities,” she said. She also wants to focus on proper spending. “With my background as a purchasing specialist, I will ensure we keep an eye on our spending while ensuring to provide excellent services such as our police/fire men and women, garbage pickup, recycling, snow plowing and maintenance of roads,” she said. Jo Hochman (D) has been a resident of South Brunswick for 43 years. She retired from Prevent Child Abuse NJ where she worked for 18 years as the coordinator of the EPIC Program (Every Person Influences Children). She was the coordinator/ trainer in South Brunswick and across the state. She said she has been involved in South Brunswick for more than 25 years. She was the chairperson of the Municipal Alliance; was a member of the Planning Board and served as its chairperson for seven years; and served the on the zoning board when the Target shopping center was approved. She has served as a councilwoman for the past eight years. She was the liaison to the Shade Committee and the Human Relations Committee. She presently serves as liaison to the Arts Commission, Advisory Board of Health, NJ State Boards of Health

and New Jersey League of Municipalities; and is on the Library Board of Trustees. “I am very proud the library was able to obtain a new Bookmobile, and to be a part of the planning for the expansion of the library. The South Brunswick Library, led by Director Chris Carbone, is one of the busiest places used in South Brunswick with programs, meetings [and resources for] the needs of young people, teens and adults,” she said. She said she is running for a third term as councilwoman “because there are still many projects to be done for our town. I still have a vision to continue with providing more services, activities, open space and keeping the taxes affordable. “This has been a difficult time with the coronavirus impacting our lives. It is difficult going forward to know what we will confront, but I do know I will be ready to do whatever is necessary to meet our changing town,” she said. Mike Kushwarra (R) is a township native, living in South Brunswick for 60 years. He is a retired South Brunswick police sergeant and is now a security director. He is certified in public management. He is a 30-year member of the Transportation Advisory Board and is member of the USCG Auxiliary. He said he is running for election because he disagrees with the domination of government by one party, as he believes different opinions and perception of fairness are important. He wants the ability to be independent and do what is right for the township. Brian William Wojaczyk (R) has lived in South Brunswick for 17 years. He is a data manager and operations. He holds an MBA in finance, a PMP and various IT certifications. He was a captain in medical services for the New Jersey Army National Guard from 2009-18. He is the founder and administrator of the Facebook group for South Brunswick with more than 6,000 active members. He has never held public office, but he was a candidate for the South Brunswick Township Council in 2016. “I believe there should be diversity in all things, including elected leadership. I do not feel that having a council 100% dominated by a single party is wise and only serves to marginalize citizens. I understand the people may desire a specific party/faction to have most of the seats on the council, but I do not believe the township is served best by a monopoly. “Frankly, I am a novice and a reluctant candidate. I was asked to run and choose to serve. Although I believe my experi-

only as large as necessary. I am not a proponent of high taxation, but I believe the majority of the tax burden should be as close to the people as possible – the local level – where it affects the people the most. The tax rate should continually be scrutinized and only be raised if necessary.� He is also concerned with services. “As with the above topic of taxes, I believe local services are paramount. Parks, waste removal, streets and security are all services that directly affect all residents. However, we should be vigilant as to how to use tax dollars. Waste should continually be minimized and services and programs that are underused or inefficiently operated should be curtailed or eliminated so other programs can benefit and taxes can be held down,� he said. He will also give his attention to the township’s debt. “As a fiscal conservative, I am always concerned with the amount of municipal debt we have been incurring. I believe this is a subject that does not get enough scrutiny,� he said.  Republican Julie Ferrara could not be reached by press time.

ence, skills and education can benefit the people of South Brunswick as a member of the council, I am not actively striving to achieve this position of authority. If chosen, I will serve. If not, such is the will of the people of South Brunswick. I do have a continuing desire to contribute and better our local community.� Wojaczyk said his key issue is focused on policing and security. “I believe the South Brunswick police force has and continues to do a fantastic and professional job of providing us all with a safe and secure environment. However, national events over the last few weeks and even decades have shown that police forces in general have been tasked to deal with a great majority of issues in our society for which they may not be the best equipped to handle. “We need to systemically evaluate the policies and methods regarding policies and training. An example of local programs I believe would be beneficial for all is revisiting a volunteer police auxiliary program staffed by citizens and administered by the South Brunswick Police Department,� he said. He said he will also work on the tax policy.  “My political position is that the government should be as small as possible and
