Countless fond memories honor life of North Brunswick Police Director Ken McCormick By JENNIFER AMATO Managing Editor

oseph Battaglia and Kenneth McCormick were friends for 50 years – so naturally, Battaglia was choked up sharing 50 years of memories during McCormick’s memorial service on Sept. 9. Hundreds of family members, friends and residents packed the Great Lawn at North Brunswick Community Park to bid farewell to McCormick, the director of the North Brunswick Police Department, who passed away on Sept. 2 after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. Battaglia, the police department’s deputy chief, said that if you were a good person, McCormick took you in – and if you weren’t such a good person, McCormick would give you a chance. He called McCormick fearless, strong, smart, resourceful and confident – with a humorous side that included wearing a Fourth of July onesie and a Christmas package suit. Battaglia said when he would get nervous speaking publicly, McCormick would yell, “Don’t cry” from the back of the room just to make him laugh. He said although they often threatened to run away from their parents when they were younger, McCormick actually did one time, packing a bag and hitchhiking to South Carolina. “It never seemed like work because I got to hang out with my best friend every day and get paid for it,” Battaglia said of working alongside McCormick for 34 years. He recalled a night in the 1980s when they left a diner and saw a tractor-trailer that set off McCormick’s “Spidey senses.” They wound up honing in on a major organized crime ring that was stealing birth control pills and selling them on the black market. When in federal court in Newark to testify, Battaglia said a group of “teamsters” followed them into a bathroom and told them how unfortunate it would be if their mothers lost their sons. Although Battaglia said he felt threatened, he said McCormick simply flipped them off and walked out. McCormick, a North Brunswick Township High School graduate, joined the

North Brunswick Police Department in September 1982 and graduated with the 38th Police Basic Training Class of the Middlesex County Police Academy. After attending college for criminal justice, working for the township during the summer and having a landscaping business, he decided to pursue a career as a policeman. McCormick was promoted to sergeant in 1995 and to lieutenant in 1999. He served as the Community Oriented Policing and Problem Solving (COPPS) coordinator and held management positions in the police department’s Traffic Safety and Detective bureaus, Special Investigation Unit and Patrol Division. Municipal officials reorganized the police department in 2004 and McCormick was appointed the director of public safety while still a lieutenant. In 2008, McCormick retired as a sworn officer after 25 years of service and served as the assistant to the mayor for six months. He then returned as the director of public safety as a civilian. “He made the North Brunswick Police Department great again,” Battaglia said. “Nothing will be the same without him. Sail to the sky, my friend. I love you.” Salvatore Filannino, captain of the Edison Police Department, who is the brother-in-law of Ken’s brother Mike and his wife Sharon, noted McCormick’s close relationship with Battaglia, North Brunswick Police Capt. Cory Harris, Gary Hirsch and longtime friend Mark LaMonica. He noted how McCormick took care of his partner Chi as she battled ALS. He then thanked LaMonica for spending time to ease his pain, thanked Laura for making his final days happy, and said his daughters Erika and Marina always made him proud. Filannino recalled a lot of family vacations, specifically mentioning a trip to Nashville. He said during a nighttime show, McCormick told him the group was a bit reserved and he should take it easy. Instead, Filannino started playing air guitar, then stood up and started to dance. “Ken looked at me and said, ‘Really?’ ” he laughed. Filannino said McCormick would be the first one to start a line dance or a chant, or be up for a theme night. One time, McCormick created fluores-

cent yellow shirts that each had one letter on the back. At the end of the night, moving toward the front of the stage, the group stood up and spelled country artist Luke Bryan’s name with their shirts. Battaglia said although McCormick liked to fly, one year he and Filannino decided to drive to Tennessee. He said McCormick told him that although Filannino started the drive, 30 minutes in he wanted to switch with McCormick, and McCormick wound up driving the entire way instead of just half. Filannino reminisced about family luncheons at Dick’s Last Resort, sing-alongs across a bridge near a stadium in Nashville, and gathering in a circle and taking a knee in prayer to honor time spent with family. “Clearly, Ken McCormick has made a lasting impression on all of us,” Filannino said. Current Township Council President Ralph Andrews said it is clear you are a special person when members of the Middlesex County Police and Fire Pipes and Drums march past your house because you could not go out on St. Patrick’s Day.

“Ken McCormick spent his life in valued service to the town he grew up in,” Andrews said. Andrews said the police director was a true leader and visionary. He said the township put cops in schools, added car cameras and body cameras, and became fully accredited, all under McCormick’s watch. “The bottom line is, Ken loved his hometown and wanted to have the finest and most well-trained police force in town,” Andrews said. On a friendly note, Andrews said they both enjoyed boating and lunching at Martell’s in Point Pleasant. One day, Andrews recalled, on the way back his boat started to overheat. He said McCormick put on a life jacket, told the rest of the passengers to grab their own life jackets and to get ready to jump off. Speaking like a flight attendant, Andrews said, McCormick jokingly convinced everyone the boat was about to sink. Andrews also remarked about McCormick’s love for music and said he agreed to

Area high school students create free tutoring service that spans three countries By KATHY CHANG

Staff Writer

hen Divyesh Jevtani learned about LimitlessMinds – a free tutoring service run by high school students – from his son’s school principal, he jumped at the opportunity to sign up his son Vinay. “My son was missing the one-to-one interaction with a teacher,” he said, adding Vinay was in the second grade at the time and is now a rising third grader. “Our tutor communicates with me after each session on what they covered and the homework for the week. She is very patient with Vinay and adjusts the curriculum per his own learning pace.” The Edison School District transitioned to remote learning in March after it had to close schools due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. Manan Shah and Linda Liu, seniors at John P. Stevens High School, teamed up to form LimitlessMinds Inc., a non-profit organization that matches K-8 students with volunteer tutors in their community to provide free 1:1 virtual tutoring in academics. Manan said as he adjusted to online schooling, he realized that many other students including his younger cousins and friends, shared the same challenges that he was facing with the unexpected transition. Through his experiences in Boy Scouts over the past decade and his service as the vice president of a local teen volunteer conservation unit, giving back has always been one of his core values. That’s when he thought of recruiting volunteer high school students to provide free virtual tutoring to K-8 students. “When Manan approached me with the idea, immediately I loved it,” Linda said. The two high school students brainstormed a name for their idea, “Limitless” for Linda and “Minds” for Manan and created a logo. They launched their idea on April 8 through their own social media and with the help from JP Stevens Principal Anthony Shallop, they were able to spread the word about their organization to middle and elementary school principals, who sent out their information to parents. “Manan and Linda were driven to make a real difference in supporting those

around them,” Shallop said. “They reached out to me with an idea to establish a network of student tutor volunteers to help the younger students in our district transition to remote learning and provide continued support. Together we worked on the logistics and rolled it out.” Shallop said the school motto for the 2019-20 school year was, “If not me … then who?” “When we shifted to remote learning, I stressed the importance of this mantra, encouraging our students to support one another and their surrounding communities,” he said. “So many students did just that.” Donna Abatemarco, principal at James Madison Intermediate School, said the transition to remote learning was a challenge for everyone. “Manan and Linda were experiencing the obstacles of remote learning firsthand and saw an opportunity to do something positive,” she said. “Within a few weeks, they were able to organize an incredible tutoring service to help our students navigate through the challenges of remote learning. In addition to supporting the students academically, the high school tutors also served as role models by showing our younger students what it takes to persevere

through tough times. Manan and Linda’s initiative is a shining example of how individuals can come together to help each other as a community.” Mike Seiler, principal for James Madison Primary School, said when Manan and Linda reached out to him and shared their vision, he immediately jumped on board. “It is always great when we can work together as a district to support not only our students, but in this case, the families of our students,” he said. “As a parent myself, I knew how difficult it was to keep up with work and teaching my son at home. Having this support for the parents and the students was a huge support that enabled students to grow and to take some of the pressure off of the parents.” Seiler said Edison is filled with many creative, talented and smart students. “This is just another example of how they rise to a challenge to support other students and community,” he said. “I am really proud of their efforts.” From April to now, LimitlessMinds took off. The organization has 300 volunteer high school tutors spanning 14 chapters and three countries. There are chapters in East Brunswick, Iselin, Marlboro and West Windsor-Plains-

boro and New York City, Houston, and the capital cities of Pakistan and El Salvador. The organization recently reached more than 1,700 tutoring hours. Manan said he had two friends from Scotch Plains reach out to him to volunteer as tutors. With the realization the service could span to Scotch Plains, his friends spread the service to their area. Then Linda reached out to people she knew from East Brunswick and the chapters snowballed from there. “We’ve had people reach out from Hawaii and California where we don’t have chapters yet,” Manan said. “In those cases, we still want to help them so we just matched them with another chapter.” The chapter in Edison is the largest chapter. Manan and Linda manage volunteer tutoring inquiries and tutee inquiries through a form. “A student indicates what grade they are in, what subject they need help with and what times they are available, and we match tutors and tutees with similar availability and alignment of subjects,” Linda said. The impetus of LimitlessMinds was to provide help to the community during COVID-19, the high school students said. “As it grew, we realized we could morph into a free tutoring service because tutoring can be very expensive,” Linda said. Manan and Linda said the feedback from parents, teachers and principals have been amazing and rewarding. “We even had a retired teacher from another district who sent us a letter in the mail thanking both of us for our efforts,” Manan said. Linda said she not not only loves that their organization provides tutoring where a student can improve in their academics, but it also creates a bond – kind of like an older sibling type bond – which is important in a time where people may feel isolated. “This way they can see other people and have that connection to the outside world and get to know someone,” she said. Also, tutors are able to receive volunteer hours through the service. For more information, visit http://www. limitlessmindsinc.org/.

see a group called The Naked Apes, a heavy metal concert that had “more ink than a newspaper.” They also went to see Toby Keith in concert because McCormick loved country music for the life experiences it shares. Quoting Luke Bryan’s song “Drink a Beer,” Andrews said, “When I got the news today I didn’t know what to say. So I just hung up the phone. I took a walk to clear my head.

I can’t make it all make

sense.” Mayor Francis “Mac” Womack spoke on behalf of the entire township. “There is a blessing that God reserves for a chosen few and that is ‘charisma.’ Charisma is that inexplicable something extra God gives to special people. You can’t help liking a charismatic person, you just can’t. Ken had a double dose. It came across in the way his eyes sparkled with fun and passion. His relaxed, but calculated presence was infectious and it did, in fact, put a spell on all of us who knew him. “Rarely, very rarely, does one man leave such a positive imprint on those around him on the township he has served. … I am here to recognize not only the joy and happiness that Kenny spread, but also the qualities that made him a compassionate and caring officer, a loyal and steadfast leader, a wise and trusted confidant and counselor, and an irreplaceable, once-in-alifetime friend. “Ken McCormick did more than serve

the people of North Brunswick, he served the cause of justice. Ken’s most serious look, his most severe gaze, was still one filled with compassion and caring. Clearly smarter than most of us, Ken was faster to perceive needs and identify patterns. Ken’s foresight long ago set our township on a course to ensure our police have been impeccably trained and accredited. “But much more than that, his character and his humanity have molded a department, that, like Ken, respects every person and every life; that, like Ken, is fast to smile and slow to anger, but always attuned to everything that is happening; that, like Ken, sees the best in all people and does everything possible to achieve the best outcome for everyone,” Womack said. The mayor said he is a better person for having McCormick as a friend. “The North Brunswick police are a better department and will be for years into the future, for having Ken McCormick as a leader,” he said. “The Township of North Brunswick and every man, woman and child who lives here are, and forever will be, better as a result of the dedication, commitment, leadership, caring and love of our friend, Police Director Kenneth McCormick. Our loss is immense.” Shanti Narra, who was a councilwoman for seven years before being appointed to the Middlesex County Board of Chosen Freeholders, said her mother had a crush on McCormick and Battaglia. She recalled an event where her mom was her date and kept gushing about the “two big, very burly, handsome men” at their table. Narra is the liaison to the county’s Public Safety and Health Committee and said as a lifelong public defender in New York, her abilities as a public defender to run public safety were questioned. However, she said McCormick made a few calls and assured colleagues she has a

Narra also said that when she met McCormick’s wife Laura last year, he had “that gleam, that twinkle, that sparkle in his eye” upon their introduction. “This is a huge loss for the North Brunswick community. I don’t know if we are truly going to recognize the effects of his loss for a long time …” Narra said. Dr. Brian Zychowski, superintendent of the North Brunswick School District, said he and McCormick would talk about history; and all great historical leaders who make a difference left the place they led better than they found it. “It is a jackpot and a blessing to have the support of a police director like Ken McCormick,” he said on behalf of the 6,500 students and 1,100 district employees in the township. He said McCormick was always available, answering hundreds of late night calls. “Ken was there as a partner, never avoiding the issues,” Zychowski said. He said McCormick never took credit for any of the police department’s accomplishments, especially that of securing three federal Secure Our School grants. He said McCormick was concerned with school safety long before the mass shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut and Virginia Tech. “He was more than a friend, he was truly a leader,” Zychowski said, adding that McCormick made North Brunswick a great place to live, work and learn. “We are all in debt in the education community to Ken.” Religious leaders spoke about how (Continued on page 8)

North Brunswick public schools have successful start to new school year By JENNIFER AMATO Managing Editor

NORTH BRUNSWICK – The school year is off to a successful start in North Brunswick. Doors – or computers – opened on Sept. 8 for the first day of school, as the North Brunswick Township School District began the 2020-21 school year fully remote. “It’s been a great, positive start. There are so many positive comments from the families because we improved and synchronized from the past closure in the spring” due to the coronavirus pandemic, Superintendent of Schools Brian Zychowski said. Although there were some technological issues – such as Google Meets being overwhelmed and shutting down, some Google “bombs,” some WiFi issues among the 6,500 students at home and teachers in the classrooms, and some students accessing other districts’ classes – Zychowski said the issues were “nothing overwhelming.”

“With all of those obstacles, it’s been very, very well received,” he said. “Our kids are resilient, our staff has been accommodating.” The superintendent said every day that passes is a day closer to beginning in-person instruction, which is currently planned for Nov. 23. However, Zychowski said administrators are monitoring statewide numbers and may introduce subgroups before then. “We are trying to keep our promise to phase in [students],” he said. “It’s a stepby-step process to make sure our students are safe, our staff is safe, and we do it the right way.” Zychowski said the situation due to COVID-19 is unprecedented and has been in a state of flux, but the superintendent said the attitude of everyone in the district is to be resilient, flexible, proactive and adaptive. He also said he does not want North Brunswick students to be “data points,” so although they look forward to a comeback as soon as possible, everyone must be safe

and secure first. In related news, the North Brunswick Township Middle School has been completed, on time and under budget after three years of construction, and is awaiting the arrival of students. The new seventh and eighth grade school is the first school to be built in 40 years, and is part of a $77 million referendum that was approved in December 2016 to relieve overcrowding in the district’s schools. The project was funded in part by a grant from the state. The school is at Renaissance Boulevard North and Dawn Way. Zychowski lauded district administrators for their work to reduce a 30-year bond at 4% interest to a 22-year bond at just over 2% interest. “It’s remarkable work,” he said. “We are living up to the promises we made.” Although an official ribbon cutting has been postponed due to the pandemic, a video introduction is available at https:// vimeo.com/450246810/94586d9a5a

The grade levels are now: pre-kindergarten through fourth grade at the district’s four elementary schools; fifth and sixth grades at Linwood School; seventh and eighth grades at the middle school; and grades 9-12 at North Brunswick Township High School. Currently, the district is renting space at Lightbridge Academy, Acelero and Our Lady of Lourdes in Milltown for its preschool program. The next phase includes an addition to Linwood School, which Zychowski said should be completed by May. The Early Childhood Center, which serves 3- and 4-year-olds who have special needs, is currently leased from Our Lady of Lourdes, but should begin at Linwood next September. The Board of Education offices, in the old Maple Meade School on Georges Road, will be moved to Linwood as well. Contact Jennifer Amato at jamato@newspapermediagroup.com

Bishop Lucky of Without Walls Church said he has known McCormick for 10 years, admiring his charisma and compassion. “Living in these times we are separated by so much of the things going on in the world, so many various communities we have established,” he said. “When you see so many wonderful traits of my friend Ken … a man who would extend his hand to help anyone.” Lucky said God puts great people to-

gether because they have a role to play. “He was a bridge,” Lucky said of McCormick. “He was one who extended his heart, his hand. He was one who understood how to cross boundaries and bring us together.” Rabbi Mendy Carlebach of the Chabad of North and South Brunswick said, “Ken was a man of action. Ken liked to get things done.” To keep McCormick’s memory alive, Carlebach urged people to “give that Ken smile to people who are down” and to thank law enforcement officers for doing their jobs, as well as reaching out and reconciling with one’s distant family mem-

Obituary information courtesy of Selover Funeral Home, North Brunswick

Kenneth P. McCormick was born on Dec. 26, 1960, and died Sept. 2, 2020, at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick. He was 59. Born in New Brunswick to the late Clarence P. “Mickey” and Helen L. (Petzinger) McCormick, he was raised and lived in North Brunswick, and served the North Brunswick community his entire career. He joined the North Brunswick Township Police Department in 1982, attaining the rank of sergeant in 1994 and lieutenant in 1999. McCormick became police director as a sworn officer in 2003. He retired as a sworn law enforcement officer at the end of 2007 after 25 years of service and later resumed the role of police director as a civilian, where he remained until his death. McCormick was a founding member of the Central Jersey Police Emerald Society and was a member of the Middlesex County Chiefs of Police and the North Brunswick PBA Local 160. Surviving are his wife – Laura (Cano) McCormick; two daughters – Erika and Marina McCormick of Allentown; two sisters – Kathleen Feigley and her longtime companion Ed Kross of Bridgewater, and Paula McCormick of Apache Junction, Arizona; and a brother Michael McCormick and his wife Sharon of North Brunswick. He is also survived by nephews and niece Bryan, Kyle, Michael, Shawn and Amanda, and many more loving relatives and friends. Perhaps he said it best when he wrote: “Our destiny is not one we can steer the ship through with certainty. One thing is certain is that we can’t take anything with us when we depart this life. Enjoy your life, forgive your enemies and worship your family. In the end how will you be remembered and by who? Soon we will all be a memory … let’s hope it’s a good one.” Visitation was held at Our Lady of Peace Church, North Brunswick. Funeral servic- i es were on the Great Lawn of North Brunswick Community Park. Burial followed in Van Liew Cemetery in North Brunswick. Arrangements are by Selover Funeral Home, c North Brunswick. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network R or the ALS Association.

bers. “By doing a good deed each and every day, we will keep the legacy of Ken McCormick alive forever and ever,” he said. Sami Catovic, executive director of the New Brunswick Islamic Center, which is in North Brunswick, said McCormick visited on multiple occasions and made his mosque feel welcome. He said funerals are a time to bid farewell, but also are an opportunity to remind people of the ultimate destination. He said people ask themselves what impact they will leave on this world. “His absence is noticed because his presence was felt,” Catovic said. The Rev. Mark McGrath of Point Community Church said character, honesty and integrity are what matter most in a person. He said people live in a “confusing” time, where they “no longer know what traits to honor. Is public service honorable, or does it make you a loser? Is caring for others honorable, or does it make you a sucker? We struggle with what to honor.” Yet he said McCormick was always a man worthy of honor, not just for the way he carried himself as police director, but because of the way he lived his life. “He loved his family, his wife, his friends, his community, the opportunity to put other people ahead of himself,” Mc-

Grath said. “Every time you were with him you wanted to be better, you wanted to rise up.” The Rev. John Polyak of Our Lady of Peace Church in North Brunswick offered the opening prayer. The Middlesex County Police and Fire Pipes and Drums performed the opening and closing ceremonies. The North Brunswick Township Police Honor Guard honored McCormick. Jeff Maroccia, Mike McGinn and Don Conry of the Central Jersey Emerald Society read an Irish blessing: May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.” Following the End of Watch Call, the hearse made its way through a sea of police officers standing in salute. McCormick was buried at Van Liew Cemetery in North Brunswick. Editor’s note: Bishop Calvin Enlow of New Destiny Family Worship Center of North Brunswick spoke during the ceremony. His comments were not available as of press time. Contact Jennifer Amato at jamato@newspapermediagroup.com.

Catholic schools offer in-person instruction with virtual learning option By KATHY CHANG Staff Writer

chools in the Diocese of Metuchen are in a position to quickly pivot as circumstances necessitate as students begin the 2020-21 school year. Anthony P. Kearns III, Esq., spokesperson and chancellor for the Diocese of Metuchen said each school’s plan for reopening differ slightly, however, the schools are offering in-person instruction, with a virtual learning option. There was no universal start date for the Catholic schools in the diocese. Some started before the Labor Day weekend and some started this week. The 27 Catholic schools around the four-county diocese in Middlesex, Somerset, Hunterdon and Warren are still enrolling for the fall.

All schools were ordered to close on March 18 through Gov. Phil Murphy’s executive order in efforts to flatten the curve of the COVID-19 outbreak. All schools had moved to remote learning for the remaining of the 2019-20 school year. Kearns said each school worked with a task force of administrators, parents and teachers to finalize individual plans for the 2020-21 school year. The plans address the principles of safety and health, technology, Catholic identity, curriculum and assessment, and the way in which they will maintain their school communities. “The guiding principle for reopening is and will remain the safety and well-being of each of our students,” he said.

IMPROVEYOUR LAWN THIS FALL! We Can Help By Aerating & Overseeding!

Compacted soil and heavy thatch are the two biggest obstacles to a beautiful lawn.They tend to suffocate grass plants by preventing air, water, and nutrients from reaching the root zone.This means your lawn looks less than satisfactory in spite of adequate fertilization, water, and tender loving care! Aeration opens up the thatch and helps relieve compaction. It should be a regular part of your annual lawn maintenance program. Aeration is accomplished by the use of a machine equipped with cylinder-like spoons designed to penetrate and shatter the soil. Half inch diameter plugs of thatch and soil are actually pulled from the ground during this process.The plunging action of the spoons into the ground opens up the soil-allowing the grass plants to breathe and promoting deeper, healthier roots.

Major benefits of aeration...

• Increases air, water, and nutrient movement to the root zone • Intensifies decomposition of thatch • Helps relieve soil compaction • Stimulates new growth • Improves drainage • Provides a better environment for overseeding • Increases the effectiveness of applied fertifizers & control products • Incorporates organic matter into the soil • Increases tolerance to heat and cold

MCC sees rise in number of high Massage Envy clients can donate massage time to health care heroes schoolers taking college courses

By KATHY CHANG

Staff Writer

n an effort to prepare himself for Advanced Placement (AP) exams in calculus and physics, Avinash Kumar signed up for classes at Middlesex County College. It was the summer of 2017 before his sophomore year of high school. “At the time, my high school, the Middlesex County Academy for Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Technologies, did not offer many AP courses,” he said. “While this did not prevent me from taking the AP exams, it did put me at a severe disadvantage when it came to preparing for the exams.” Kumar, of Edison, has joined a growing number of students who are taking advantage taking classes at Middlesex County College (MCC) while still in high school. “We’ve seen extensive growth over the past three years,” said Kimberlee Hooper, director of K-12 Partnerships at MCC. The number of high school students taking MCC classes has gone from just under 1,800 in 2017-18 to more than 3,100 in 2019-20 – a jump of almost 60%, Hooper said. Hooper said she believes two major factors play are role in the growth. “First, school districts are organizing and promoting options for their students better, making sure they understand they have numerous post-high school choices,” she said. For example, some students would be best served by earning a certificate in a short amount of time, and then going into the workforce. For others, a two-year degree that leads to a job is most appropriate, and for others, a two-year degree and then transferring to a four-year school is the right path, Hooper said. “That’s where we come in because of our flexibility and low cost,” she said, noting that is the second factor. “High school students can take a three or four credit class for $125, including tuition and fees. Parents love that they can save literally thousands of dollars by having their kids take classes that will transfer to a four-year institution.” Other advantages include allowing students to get used to the college experience, the amount of work, and what is expected of them in a college setting. “It allows you to build up your academic profile and it helps solidify your career goals,” Hooper said. “You may think you are interested in one field, but after taking a class or two, decide that it’s not for you. It’s much better to find that out before you

are too far along.” For Kumar, he gained experience in balancing the challenging workload of his MCC courses and his usual high school workload. “I pulled through largely due to my extremely supportive MCC professors and having developed a much stronger work ethic,” he said. In June, he graduated from the Middlesex County Academy for Science, Mathematics and Engineering Technologies. In August he graduated from Middlesex County College with an associate’s degree in math. He was named a 2020 National Merit Scholarship winner. This fall, Kumar will attend the New Jersey Institute of Technology on a full scholarship as part of the accelerated BS/ MS (bachelor’s and master’s degree) program at NJIT’s Albert Dorman Honors College. He is planning a career in information technology. “MCC served as a bridge between high school and NJIT,” he said. “The class sizes were small and the professors were supportive.” For high school students thinking about taking college courses during their high school years, Kumar suggests starting as early as possible and introducing “yourself to your professor and let them know about your situation either before or during the first class.” Hooper said another factor in the growth was outreach to charter and nonpublic schools in the area. MCC went from serving 22 schools in 2016 to 37 today. “In the past, many of the parents were focused on four-year schools, but we’ve been reaching out to explain why we’re a viable option,” she said. “It’s becoming a great resource for their students. They especially like hearing about MCC’s transfer agreements.” East Brunswick High School now offers a dual degree program with MCC, and three districts – Middlesex Borough, South Plainfield and Colonia – are developing the programs. “Just like Mr. Kumar, students can actually earn a college degree while still in high school,” Hooper said, adding she expects several students will graduate from MCC in May 2021 and East Brunswick High School the following month. “Most lean toward our liberal arts majors, but we also have students interested in science and business,” she said. “Essentially, they can set their own pathway. Our hope is that we’re part of the process for these students, whether it’s one course, or 10 courses, or a degree.”

nspired by watching a clip on the news, Hillsborough-based Massage Envy owner Greg Robertson and his wife, Renee, took up the charge to do something during the public health crisis of COVID-19. “Renee and I were watching the news and a pizzeria donated 40 pizzas to a local hospital. We wanted to do something similar,” Robertson said at an event on Aug. 11 at his facility, according to information provided by Hillsborough Township. “We started out with our donation, then our therapists and employees, asking if they were interested in donating time. It then expanded to our members. By the time all was said and done, here we are donating $78,000 worth of massages to health care workers at Saint Peter’s Hospital in New Brunswick, Hunterdon Medical Center and Capital Health. “I then shared the concept with corporate and this donation project had become the “Hero” program and all Massage Envy locations in New Jersey will be participating. We are anticipating nearly $600,000 worth of massage to be collectively donated,” Robertson said, according to the

statement. “It’s a great way to give back to our heroes,” he said. On Aug. 11, Massage Envy Hillsborough was the backdrop for a ceremonial check presentation in which Hillsborough Township Mayor Doug Tomson and Administrator Anthony Ferrera were among the invited guests, along with the representatives from the three mentioned hospitals who were receiving the donations. Tomson thanked Robertson, his employees and members for their overwhelming generosity. “It continues to impress me, the acts of kindness that our Hillsborough community has shown during this crisis,” Tomson said in the statement. Robertson has been in business for 11 years, opening his first Massage Envy location in Hillsborough. He now owns and operates three locations, Princeton and Flemington in addition to Hillsborough. and is in the process of acquiring two additional locations.
