Cranbury School students set to finish out school year in person

By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer

As the Cranbury School District prepares for the end of the 2020-21 school year, 80% of district students will participate in inperson instruction.

The district administration announced last month that the Cranbury School would be expanding in-person learning to Wednesdays starting March 24.

Since the presentation by Superintendent Susan Genco and Assistant Principal Michele Waldron on March 15, outlining the increasing of in-person learning at the Cranbury School, parents had been asked being asked by the dis-

trict administration to select a final learning model for the rest of the 2020-21 school year.

The final selection made for the school will remain in place from April 19 until the end of June.

After the district sent out a surveys to parents to gather the information, the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) had released new guidance on March 23 for schools, which would give the Cranbury School the ability to combine cohorts for pre-K to fifth grade.

“The NJDOH released new guidance in accordance with the CDC recommendations for K-12 strategies. These recommenda-

tions include the shift in social distancing requirements from a minimum of 6 feet to 3 feet in certain instances,” Genco said in March 31 letter. “The decrease in social distancing guidelines to 3 feet will enable us to combine all elementary pre-K to fifth grade cohorts beginning April 19.”

According to the district, elementary students will participate in remote learning on Wednesdays from 2-3:15 p.m. until the Cranbury School begins full-day instruction.

However, with the Regional Risk Matrix still having Cranbury in the high risk category, the administration will continue with the

recommendation of 6 feet regarding social distancing for middle school students.

“Therefore, it will not be possible to combine middle cohorts given space constraints. Middle school students will attend school three full days every other week with their cohort group,” Genco said. “Beginning April 19, hybrid students must attend school in person on all assigned days unless they are sick or in quarantine and can provide a doctor’s note.”

Additionally, the administration is preparing for the return of full-day in-person learning. The district administration expects to implement the return to a full-day

schedule (8:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.) on April 29.

“Remote students will follow the full day schedule. We have completed a draft of the full day master schedule for all teachers and are working on scheduling for programs such as Academic Support, Band, ELL, Speech, etc.,” Genco said. “At this time, we are not planning to schedule before or after school classes during the full day learning. All elementary and middle school student schedules will be rebuilt to reflect the full day schedule.”

The Cranbury School is currently on Spring Break, which will end April 11.

Mercer County’s proposed 2021 budget calls for flat tax rate Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes has presented to the County Board of Commissioners his administration’s proposed 2021 budget, a $332.2 million spending plan that stays within the state-mandated 2% cap and would result in no change in the overall county tax rate.

Hughes presented an overview of his administration’s budget proposal to the commissioners on March 11, who will review the document over the coming weeks before voting on its adoption.

Of the total budget, $269 million would be collected through property taxes, the same levy as last year. The overall county tax rate would remain at 58 cents per $100 of assessed value, according to information provided by the county.

“This document represents our effort to provide the best possible government in the most

cost-effective manner to the taxpayer,” Hughes said in the statement. “The fact of the matter is that many of our residents are suffering because of the pandemic, and it is up to us to tighten our belts and hold the line.”

A resident’s actual tax rate will rise or fall depending on his or her municipality once the county rate is equalized to reflect the difference between municipal property assessments and property market values.

The budget proposes that $14 million of the county’s surplus be used, leaving a $21 million balance, according to the statement.

“It has been my policy to keep a healthy balance in our surplus fund to cover unforeseen circumstances,” Hughes said in the statement. “While no one could have imagined living through a pandemic, our fiscal prudence over the years has helped us weather this unprecedented storm.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Cranbury should opt out of marijuana sales Would you sign a mortgage not knowing the terms and conditions? Would you accept a doctor’s recommendation for surgery if the doctor said, “I need money. I’ll send you to the hospital and do an appendectomy, brain surgery or maybe a heart bypass. Not sure what I’ll do until we’re there, so just say yes.”

Of course not, no one would.

Yet, that is exactly what the state wants Cranbury and other towns to do if they decide to opt-in to participate in the new marijuana laws.

Towns that opt-in or make no decision to ban recreational sales, distribution, wholesale and cultivation will not legally be allowed to opt-out for a 5-year period regardless of the impact on the community. If a town opts in and experiences a major negative impact the state’s view is buyer beware. Legislators have advised the laws will continue to change over the next 12-18 months at minimum.

I have spent over 200 hours reading studies, talking with people in various states and studying this issue since late 2017.

The NSDUH estimated the number of marijuana users in New Jersey was 832,000 in fiscal year 2016 (NSDUH, 2017) and is estimated at over 1 million now with more anticipated due to legalization.

Proponents argue that marijuana sales and liquor sales are equal and highlight that Cranbury allows liquor today.

That argument is philosophical and inaccurate scientifically and economically.

Over a thousand liquor licenses exist in New Jersey (Cranbury has three alone) by comparison there will only be a handful of recreational stores based on the limited grow licenses (37). Most estimates by officials in Trenton cite 10 or less recreational sales centers will be in New Jersey over the next 3-5 years. Even my 7-year-old twins recognize that 10 is a much lower number than a thousand, but then again, they aren’t smoking pot which impairs cognitive functions.

Biologically with alcohol you can sense the effect and cut yourself off, while marijuana has a delayed effect.

Based on studies from several independent sources (not those funded by the cannabis lobby) including schools and hospitals and in speaking with realtors, law enforcement, physicians, and others where it is legal, Cranbury can anticipate the following: • Increased youth usage – Youth usage increased in towns and states where recreational sales are legal and sold. Proponents including some on our Township Committee have argued put it on the other side of Route 130

by Monroe. News flash: there are kids there, too. The one buildable plot is approximately a mile away from four schools and within easy walking distance to 300 homes.

I am all for protecting our right to zone, but that comes with responsibility too. Placing kids at a higher risk to ingest marijuana is probably top of the list of things we should not do. I don’t blame you for not wanting to read the studies, so think of how many teens have fake IDs,

find adults who purchase liquor for them, or just any high school party.

• Declining home value – Those who cite studies on increasing home value stop at the headline that mixes all towns, residential and commercial and pharma and recreational sales. Similar towns to Cranbury – affluent, have high residential values, are not tourist destinations, and are surrounded by similar communities – have all seen their property values decline by 5-20% where recreational sales are permitted. I am pretty sure Monroe would also be at a disadvantage if we put a pot shop next to their four schools and houses. Again, you can ignore the studies and apply common sense. Most people with kids and a choice between a town with a pot shop and one without will go to the non-wacky weed town.

• Increased traffic and safety issues – If New Jersey users visit the estimated 10 recreational sales sites equally, then 100,000 New Jersey residents will be coming into Cranbury and traveling through our town, South Brunswick, Monroe and East Windsor. Our roadways and police cannot handle this level of traffic. It will require more police and infrastructure. If you think our neighbors didn’t like truck traffic, just wait until their police are dealing with DUIs coming from Cranbury.

• Increased DUI offenses – Law enforcement studies show increased violations and accidents from impaired drivers. Again, forget reading. Look at any parking lot where liquor is sold. Small vials of liquor are smashed on the ground all around. The same will happen with pot. God help us if a child is ever killed.

• Impact to our parks – People in favor cite the smoking ban in public spaces. However, that does not stop people from smoking cigarettes in or parks today. We have leash laws, no parking fines for the grass in Heritage Park, and a snow clearance ordinance for sidewalks. Yet we don’t have the resources to enforce them. If we cannot enforce keeping a dog on a leash or smoking in a park today how can we be capable of controlling pot smokers all day long. What happens they get in their car impaired?

• Loss of preserved farmland – Presently, we have a 40,000-square-foot facility being erected on preserved farmland on the other side of Route 130. These are warehouse-style complexes with truck traffic to compound the issue. Imagine if instead of a beautiful vista from the new library we are looking at an industrial complex on the Old Danser farm on Plainsboro Road with trucks entering and exiting all day. There is irony that after years of planning for a library with a view of preserved farmland we would find it is now looking at a warehouse.

• Taxes – Will we sell out our kids and towns for 2% of each sale? If a company does $1 million in sales, we get $20,000. If we lose 5-20% of home value as studies project then not only does home value individually decrease, but so does our tax revenue – several hundred thousand in lost tax revenue at 5% and well over a million at 20% based on today’s budget. However, that does not account

for additional costs in police, road improvements and other impacts. Because the committee opted in we’re left increasing taxes on residents, we’ve destroyed our community, likely the quality of the school, and our home values. Again, my twins realize $20,000 is a lot less than a million, even when using the new math.

For the above reasons it would seem logical that our Township Committee would vote 5-0 to opt out. After all, everyone runs on a platform of keeping our historic character, protecting our youth, and preserving farmland. No one runs on “elect me” and together we’ll ruin our town and put kids at risk.

Residents should realize we have a medical marijuana facility today in town that is grandfathered for that use.

They have begun the process of building grow houses on preserved farmland which is again grandfathered.

These existing uses put Cranbury at increased risk for a negative impact on our town if we opt in. It is imperative that we represent our residents and children. We are negligent if we do not. We heard our residents clearly ask that we opt out until we know more. That makes sense. A future committee can always revisit opting in when laws are clarified and experience in like towns in New Jersey is known. I support our residents, historic character, our farmland and more importantly our children. We should remove the doubt and opt out.

Spring ephemerals get their moment in the sun

T

ake a walk in the woods this month and check out the forest floor. There in the dappled sunlight, popping up through last year’s leaves, you may spot the short-lived flowers of native perennials known as “spring ephemerals.”

Spring ephemerals are native woodland wildflowers that bloom during the brief window of time between snowmelt and tree leaf-out. As the spring sun warms the ground, these cute little plants grow quickly, flower, are pollinated and set seed.

By June, when New Jersey’s forest floors are deeply shaded by a leafy tree canopy, the blossoms will be gone and the plants hard to find.

The season is now for native ephemerals, including spring beauties, bloodroots, yellow trout lilies, rue anemones, Virginia bluebells, Eastern red columbines, Jack-in-the-pulpits, yellow marsh marigolds (cowslips), violets, wild geraniums, trilliums, flowering wintergreens, mayapples (wild mandrakes), Solomon’s seals, moccasin flowers (pink lady’s slippers) and more.

Many of them are small and delicate compared to showy summer flowers, but well worth the search.

Spring beauty blossoms, for instance, are not much larger than a fingernail and have lovely pink stripes on a pale background.

Trout lily flowers are golden yellow bells speckled with spots, much like the fish for which they are named; even their mottled leaves resemble brook trout.

If you are walking in a flood plain, you may see colonies of Virginia bluebells, whose magenta flower buds open into tubular blossoms of an exquisite sky blue.

Spring ephemerals – and all native plants – got great news last week when the U.S. Senate voted unanimously to designate April as National Native Plant Month.

This bipartisan resolution, introduced by U.S. senators Rob Portman (R-OH) and Mazie K. Hirono (D-HI,) highlights the

HEALTH MATTERS

importance of native plants in conservation, environmental restoration and supporting a diversity of wildlife.

The National Native Plant Month resolution notes there are more than 17,000 native plant species in the United States, including trees, shrubs, vines, grasses and wildflowers.

These plants prevent flooding, drought and erosion, and can restore damaged ecosystems. They also provide nectar, pollen and seeds as food for native butterflies, insects, birds and other wildlife in ways that non-native plants cannot.

Dozens of conservation organizations, including the Garden Club of America, the North American Native Plant Society, the National Audubon Society and the National Wildlife Federation got behind the National Native Plant Month designation.

Here in New Jersey, you can participate in celebrating National Native Plant Month. New Jersey has more than 2,000 native plant species, with nearly 700 considered rare.

Here is what you can do: • Protect the habitats where native plants grow wild by supporting land conservation efforts. New Jersey has a wide variety of ecosystems, from the flat, sandy terrain of the Pine Barrens to the rugged hills of the Highlands. Each region has its own unique native plant communities. Ask your elected officials to preserve native plant habitats, especially those supporting rare and endangered species.

• Urge your state legislators to bolster protections for New Jersey’s native plants. The New Jersey Endangered and Threatened Plant Protection Act (A-985) would protect rare plants from intentional damage and sale or transport, and would direct the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to establish an advisory committee to develop plans for protecting and restoring priority species. Another bill (S83) would encourage New Jerseyans to plant native species.

• Incorporate native plants in your garden and landscapes.

You will be rewarded with natural beauty and biodiversity,

including abundant birds, butterflies and other pollinating insects. Another huge benefit is that choosing the right native plants means much less maintenance. For help in picking the right native plants for easy care, go to the Jersey-Friendly Yards website at www.jerseyyards.org/ • Support efforts to control invasive, non-native plants that compete with natives for soil, sunlight and water – but don’t provide their benefits. To learn about invasive plants, how they harm the environment and efforts to eradicate them, visit the New Jersey Invasive Species Strike Team website at www.fohvos.info/invasive-species-strike-team/ • Support the efforts of your town or county to reduce deer populations and protect meadows and forests from deer browsing. Overabundant deer herds have been proven to be the greatest threat to New Jersey’s forest regeneration for all native plant species, from trees to shrubs to wildflowers. The loss of natural forest structure, starting from the ground up, ruins the habitat value and the food chain for everything from butterflies to songbirds to amphibians to predatory birds.

• Avoid using insecticides – especially neonicotinamidebased insecticides – on your lawn or shrubs. Insecticides harm beneficial insects as well as pests, and “neonics” destroy all pollinators, especially bees. Support legislative efforts to ban these harmful substances.

• Teach your children, grandchildren and favorite young people about the importance of native plants. Plan a hike in the woods this month and see who can be first to spot beautiful spring ephemerals. Bring a field guide and see what other native trees, shrubs and plants you can identify.

For help with identification, visit the Native Plant Society of New Jersey website at www.npsnj.org/pages/nativeplants_ Native_Plant_Gallery.html Michele S. Byers is the executive director of the New Jersey Conservation Foundation, Far Hills. She may be reached at info@njconservation.org

Treating Type 1 Diabetes and Eating Disorders

A

lthough the reasons for the connection are not entirely clear, people with type 1 diabetes are almost twice as likely to suffer from an eating disorder than the general population, according to the American Diabetes Association.

When someone has both conditions, complications like diabetic ketoacidosis can become life threatening and longerterm damage can include serious problems, like kidney failure.

Treating both conditions together is paramount to recovery, and careful monitoring is required because the two conditions have different sets of nutritional and medical needs.

Princeton Center for Eating Disorders at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center helps people control their diabetes while addressing the emotional and behavioral aspects of their eating disorder and teaching the skills needed to establish a healthy lifestyle.

Diabulimia is Common Studies show that up to 35 percent of women with type 1 diabetes restrict insulin in an attempt to manipulate their caloric intake and lose weight at some point in their lives. This dangerous practice is often referred to as diabulimia.

Among women and girls with type 1 diabetes, diabulimia is most common between the ages of 15 and 30, according to the American Diabetes Association. The association notes that there is little to no data on eating disorders in men and boys with type 1 diabetes.

Other risk factors for diabulimia include: • Having a close relative with an eating disorder • Having a close relative with a mental health disorder • Anxiety, depression and obsessive compulsive disorder • Post-traumatic stress disorder • Perfectionism • Body image dissatisfaction • Being teased or bullied • Loneliness and isolation These risk factors also apply to people who have not been diagnosed with diabetes.

Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, enables your body to convert sugar from food into energy. However, if you have type 1 diabetes, your pancreas does not make insulin, requiring you to take insulin every day so your body has enough energy to stay healthy and alive.

Restricting insulin either by not taking it at all or by taking lower than the prescribed dose forces your body to use stored body fat for energy. This leads to high blood sugar levels as well as high levels of ketones, acid byproducts produced when your body burns fat.

If left untreated, over time diabulimia can lead to a wide range of serious health complications including: • Slow wound healing • Staph and other bacterial infections • Yeast infections • Muscle atrophy • Irregular menstruation • Severe dehydration • Electrolyte imbalance • Retinopathy • Peripheral neuropathy • Kidney disease • Liver disease • Heart disease In addition, diabulimia can lead to ketoacidosis, a condition in which there is too much acid in your blood, causing damage to blood vessels nerves, and organs. In extreme cases, diabetic ketoacidosis can cause organ systems to shut down, resulting in coma or sometimes death.

Red Flags Warning signs of diabulimia include: • Increasing neglect or secrecy surrounding diabetes management • Fear of low blood sugars • Fear that insulin will increase weight • Restricting certain food or food groups to lower insulin dosages • Frequent bouts of nausea or vomiting • Persistent thirst • Frequent urination • Recurring diabetic ketoacidosis or near diabetic ketoacidosis • Low sodium • Low potassium • Frequent urination • Frequent yeast infections • Irregular or lack of menstruation • Deteriorating or blurry vision • Dry hair and skin • Changes in eating habits, refusal to eat with family and friends If you suspect someone you love suffers from diabulimia, seek medical help. The sooner they can get treatment, the better chance they have for recovery.

A Specialized Approach Princeton Center for Eating Disorders offers a multidisciplinary, evidence-based approach for the comprehensive treatment of adolescents 16 and older and adults with type 1 diabetes and an eating disorder.

Care is structured to help patients build the tools and knowledge necessary to work toward recovery from the eating disorder while managing their diabetes independently— skills they will need upon discharge. Overall progress is organized in a tier system, and as patients develop skills in each level, they move toward greater independence.

Treatment includes: • Medical stabilization and care. Patients have onsite access to medical specialists and endocrinologists at Princeton Medical Center upon admission and throughout their stay as

needed.

• Psychiatric care. Board-certified psychiatrists specializing in eating disorder treatment provide individualized behavioral health care and medication oversight.

• Nursing oversight. Nurses help manage patient care, regularly monitor blood sugar levels, and provide education about diabetes and its management.

• Nutrition management. Dietitians work with patients to monitor calorie intake and carbohydrate balance while educating them about nutrition needs and menu planning. With this knowledge, patients advance from checking off preselected menu items to writing in their preferences.

• Therapy. Through individual and group therapy, therapists help patients with diabulimia build coping skills, regulate emotions, and manage urges to withhold insulin. The team has developed a system for tracking mood and other parameters, including changes in blood sugar.

• Patient and family education. Diabulimia education is integrated throughout care, with topics like diabetes and nutrition, managing emotional stress, and the impact of blood sugar levels on mood. Effective communication with family members also is an important component of the program.

A Foundation for Success As patients heal and fine-tune their skills, they earn back more control of their diabetes management and diet, and by working with their therapists and registered dietitians they build a foundation for success in every day life.

Vaccinations

Continued from Page 1A

School nurses attend the clinics to monitor individuals for 15 minutes after receiving the vaccine.

The effort kicked off on March 30 at Cranbury School and will continue for the next several weeks.

In mid-April, Princeton Health will also begin working with colleges and universities to vaccinate their staff members, according to the statement.

Vaccinating education and higher education staff is part of an ongoing, broader plan by Princeton Health to administer the COVID-19 vaccine to members of demographic groups that state health officials indicate may have challenges scheduling or getting to vaccine appointments, Margaret DeFalco, assistant vice president, Administrative Services, who supervises vaccine operations at Princeton Health, said in the statement.

She noted that Princeton Health also is focused on assisting people 65 and older who may have difficulty navigating online scheduling systems.

Princeton Health’s vaccine clinic on the Princeton Medical Center campus continues to serve all individuals who are eligible for the vaccine under state guidelines. The off-site clinics are being provided in addition to the full schedule of on-site vaccinations that were already arranged at Princeton Health.

“We are committed to fulfilling the lifelong healthcare needs of people in our community, and COVID-19 is the greatest public health challenge in recent memory,” DeFalco said in the statement. “Vaccinating as many people as possible is a crucial step. We are working with partners throughout the community to do this in a safe, effective, and equitable manner.”

The premium package includes: an upgraded Bose, 8 speaker sound system; heated seats and steering wheel; security system; a tonneau cover; Sirius radio and a Wi-Fi hot spot.

The Kicks overall rating in the government’s Five Star safety crash test ratings comes in at four stars out of a possible five.

It received five stars on the side crash test but only three for the front driver test and four for the front passenger test. It got a four-star rating on the rollover test.

The folks over at Car and Driver give the Kicks high marks for being peppy around town, having a spacious cabin and generous standard equipment.

They gave it low marks for being anemic at highway speeds, having a noisy engine and in need of more storage cubbies.

New added features for this year’s Kicks – a model that Nissan first introduced in 2016 – include: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; a standard 7-inch screen with a new 8-inch touch screen for the SV and SR models; a redesigned bolder front grille; new wheel designs; rear disc brakes for the SV and SR, and an array of bold new color options and two-tone combinations.

The Kicks is available in three trim levels, the base S, mid-level SV and top of the line SR. I found the interior buttons and switches on the Kicks easy enough to operate. The infotainment system, while not all that sophisticated, was adequate, and the Android Auto system worked quite well for navigation.

Like most of the cars these days, I found the voice command recognition system a bit frustrating at times as it made me repeat my commands sometimes.

However, overall, I would recommend considering the Kicks if you are in the market for a fairly inexpensive compact crossover or SUV.

The EPA fuel consumption ratings for the 2021 Kicks give it an overall rating of 33 miles per gallon – 36 mpg on highway driving and 31 mpg in city driving.

The EPA estimates that the annual average fuel cost for driving a Kicks is an impressive $1,250, as it uses a miserly 3 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven.

Overall, after driving this Kicks for one week, I ended up liking it for what it is and putting up with it for what it isn’t.

It’s a good-looking front wheel drive, compact crossover that lags in power, but makes up for it in its versatility for around town driving.

The inside ergonomics are adequate. It’s a bit snug on the fit – I am six-foot tall – but not so snug that it makes it an uncomfortable ride.

Law enforcement officers will be cracking down on distracted drivers during April as part of New Jersey’s UDrive. UText.

UPay. Enforcement campaign.

Through the entire month, the high visibility law enforcement initiative will target motorists who engage in dangerous distracted driving behaviors such as talking on hand-held cell phones and sending text messages while driving.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that in 2018 alone, 2,841 people were killed in distracted driving crashes on our nation’s roads and an estimated 400,000 people were injured.

In New Jersey, driver inattention was listed as a contributing circumstance in 50% of the state’s crashes in 2018.

Driver inattention was in fact listed as a contributing factor in crashes at a rate seven times higher than that of the next highest contributing factor (speed).

Distracted driving is any activity that diverts attention from driving, including talking or texting on your phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in your vehicle, fiddling with the stereo, entertainment or navigation system — anything that

takes your attention away from the task of safe driving.

Texting is the most alarming distraction. Sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for five seconds, according to state officials. At 55 mph, that’s like driving the length of an entire football field with your eyes closed.

New Jersey is one of eight states nationally to receive dedicated federal funds this year to tackle the issue of driver distraction. This federal funding will be used for police overtime enforcement grants at the local level as well as a statewide multimedia public awareness campaign on this important issue.

Real Central NJ Soccer kicks off men’s season on May 12 Real Central NJ Soccer’s (RCNJ) men’s schedule will kick off May 12 in the Mid-Atlantic division against instate rivals the Ocean City Nor’Easters.

The team then heads into Pennsylvania to play West Chester United Soccer Club on May 15.

RCNJ will host last year’s national runners-up Reading United on June 16.

The club’s matches will be played at the Mercer County Community College soccer complex in West Windsor, with kickoff times set for 7 pm.

“We’re thrilled to be preparing for our first season as a club,” men’s General Manager Ira Jersey said in a prepared statement. “It’s exciting to think that our club might be the first event many families attend post-COVID. But we’ll follow all the state and local protocols to keep the environment safe as well as fun.”

The club’s men’s team will play in USL League Two in

the fourth tier of US Soccer. USL League Two is a national league and the leader in pre-professional soccer in North America. Most Major League Soccer college draft picks and many players in the two USL professional leagues were scouted during their time in the league, according to the statement.

Other teams in the division include Philadelphia Lone Star FC, Lehigh Valley United and Northern Virginia’s Evergreen FC. “We’re in one of the league’s more competitive divisions,” Coach Patrick Snyder said in the statement. “We’ll face strong clubs with rich histories in the sport. But we’ve put together an exciting squad made up of some great local talent; including some guys I’ve watched for years.”

The top two teams in the division will face off against others in the Eastern Conference for League playoffs in late July. The single-elimination knockout tournament

then culminates in the national championship match on July 31.

The club has already announced 10 players including many local standouts. Three players are vying for Haitian or New Zealand youth international team spots. The club’s men’s team roster has been fully committed and additional announcements will be made through the opening matchday, according to the statement.

The club’s women’s program will play in the Women’s Premier Soccer League (WPSL) and will announce its schedule shortly.

Teens create website to navigate vaccine appointments after grandparents’ struggle

By JENNIFER AMATO Managing Editor

Dhillon and Shaan Choudhri had not seen their grandparents in about a year.

With their parents being healthcare workers, the risk was too great to leave their home in Lawrence Township to visit their elders in Edison.

So, instead, the junior and freshman at the Lawrenceville School, respectively, would say hello on the phone or join in on Zoom calls with their extended family.

“We hadn’t seen my grandparents at all pretty much since quarantine started,” Dhillon said.

That all changed during the second week of March after their grandparents received their second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.

However, that was not without a struggle. The boys said their grandparents had a very difficult time scheduling their appointments, even though they

met eligibility requirements.

“It was really hard for them to figure out where to go on a website and how to make an appointment,” Dhillon said.

“It’s a lot of information to take in,” Shaan said. “I remember, I would hear on the phone every day that [my grandmother] would ask where she could get an appointment.”

Dhillon said now that the eligibility requirements are opening up, many more people are seeking the vaccine. The brothers felt if their grandparents had difficulty, they assumed others do, too.

They decided to “make information available in a simple way,” Dhillon said.

Dhillon has been coding since age 12, and he and Shaan basically learned by watching YouTube videos and reading books.

The used their spring break, which was the last week of February into the beginning of March, to develop their website. They finished after three weeks of work.

Shaan said they focused on making the website simple to navigate. He said there were a lot of stages to find the best layout.

On March 10, the website www. njvaxfinder.com went live and more than 140 people had unique log-ins as of press time, Dhillon said.

The brothers have to input information such as a vaccine center’s name and location, but then the website filters and uploads the information to the database.

The information is updated every four hours.

“It’s a tool to have centralized information on where you can get a vaccine.

It’s organized for you so you don’t have to browse yourself,” Shaan said.

Currently, the website links to the New Jersey registration site and vaccination centers, but Dhillon said he would like people to be able to register on their site, eventually.

The website upgrades have already included adding a feature on the map

that shows vaccine sites by ZIP codes and mileage. Dhillon hopes to create a mobile app with an SMS application so users receive a text message when an appointment becomes available.

Dhillon said some relatives have used the site already and “it’s been helpful to them.”

Although their grandparents were vaccinated prior to the website going live, when the group of six reunited finally, Shaan said, “It was great seeing them because our parents are vaccinated so there was [little] risk.”

Dhillon added that they had not been out much recently, and school was remote, so they felt safe.

The teens said if anyone has suggestions for the website, or notices inaccurate data, they can visit the website and contact the brothers.

“We really want to make sure we give out accurate information,” Dhillon said.

Mercer County Military Action Council supports military personnel, their families

Regina Arcuri

William Cleave

Alan Gilmore

David A. Lauer

Two Mercer County residents with ties to the Armed Forces have founded the Mercer County Military Action Council (MCMAC), a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the service members and the mission of Joint Base McGuireDix-Lakehurst (JB MDL), as well as active-duty personnel, reservists, guardsmen, veterans and their respective families living in local towns.

Regina Arcuri of Robbinsville and William “Bill” Cleave of Pennington, both honorary commanders at JB MDL, created this nonprofit organization in January.

They joined forces with Alan Gilmore, an attorney from Pennington, and David A. Lauer, CPA of Hamilton, to complete the council’s executive board, according to information provided by MCMAC. Arcuri, chairwoman of MCMAC, encourages Mercer County area business owners, local government officials and residents to join the organization.

“We need a military support organization here in Mercer County not only to support the service members and the mission of the base, but also to inform local businesses that they can tap into a highly skilled and responsible workforce,” she said in the statement.

Arcuri has been active in other military support organizations based in Ocean and Burlington counties for years. She soon realized that many military families live and work in Mercer County, many of whom silently struggle to fit into their adopted (and often temporary) communities, she said in the statement.

“These families would benefit from a military support organization located close to home,” she said in the statement.

“Supporting the base and these families helps everyone who lives in our county.

We all need each other.”

Cleave, vice chairman of the organization, noted that his father served in the U.S. Navy during World War II, including the D-Day invasion at Omaha Beach, and then in the reserves during the Korean War. His parents, he said, taught him to honor the sacrifices of the men and women in uniform and their families.

“Helping to establish this organization is my way of paying it forward,” he said in the statement.

Both Arcuri, who retired last year as a deputy director of New Jersey Lottery after more than 30 years with the state agency, and Cleave, co-owner of Flagship Insurance Agency in Pennington, have been involved in the Honorary Commander Program at JB MDL for several years, according to the statement. Arcuri joined the installation’s first group of honorary commanders inducted into the emeritus program when it was created in 2017.

The purpose of the Honorary Commander Program is to increase public awareness of the installation’s mission and to foster a supportive relationship between military commanders and civic leaders. The goal is to educate civilian volunteers on the various missions of each service branch and to encourage communication between installation commanders and surrounding towns. Honorary commanders are required to complete condensed training exercises that mimic those of service members in their respective branches, tour base operations to learn the mission of each branch, attend base ceremonies, and spend time with service members to understand how local communities can better assist them, according to the statement.

MCMAC will allow Arcuri and Cleave to continue the important work of communicating the base’s mission and goals,

as well as the needs of service members and military families, to its membership, who, in turn, will further the message to their friends and family, according to the statement.

Arcuri said it has been their privilege to serve as honorary commanders.

“Through that program Bill and I became acutely aware of the base’s economic impact on New Jersey,” Arcuri said in the statement. “It’s now up to MCMAC to educate local government officials, busi-

ness leaders and residents as to how they can help maintain this valuable asset that benefits all of us.”

Gilmore, of The Gilmore Firm LLC, serves as secretary of the organization, while Lauer serves as treasurer.

“Joining MCMAC is an easy way to show that you care about the people who help to protect our country,” Gilmore said in the statement, adding that his father was a Marine who fought in the Pacific Rim during World War II. “His service is a See MCMAC, Page 10A

East Windsor man charged with Local farmer pivots farm business to impersonating a police officer, create firepit starters after economic toll from COVID-19 possession of child porn An East Windsor man has been charged with impersonating a police officer and possession of child pornography, according to the West Windsor Police Department.

The man, whose car was reportedly equipped with a light bar in its rear window, had allegedly just completed a “stop” of an unknown vehicle when he was halted by a West Windsor police officer on Penn-Lyle Road at 1:36 a.m. March 18, police said.

A search of the car by police allegedly showed that the Nissan was equipped with police-style equipment, such as a police scanner, a laptop computer modified to resemble the mobile data terminals used by police officers, various lights and switches, and an amber and white light bar in the windshield that he had allegedly activated to the make the “car stop,” according to police.

He was charged with impersonating a police officer, based on the circumstances, and his car was impounded, according to reports.

Police are seeking additional victims who may have been stopped by him while he was impersonating a police officer.

During the course of the West Windsor Police Department’s continued investigation into the incident, police also found that he was in possession of child pornography, according to the allegations. Search warrants were issued and he was charged with possession of child pornography on March 23, police said.

The Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office Internet Crimes Against Children unit, along with the New Jersey State Police, the Hightstown Police Department, the East Windsor Township Police Department, aided West Windsor police in the investigation.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with additional information should contact West Windsor Police Detective J. Jones at 609-799-1222 or jjones@westwindsorpolice.com; or call the police department’s anonymous tip line at 609-799-0452.

MCMAC Continued from Page9A source of pride that should be recognized by everyone and should not be taken for granted, which will hopefully promote and continue the tradition of service.”

Lauer, a partner in Five Points Financial in Hamilton, has worked with many military personnel during his accounting career.

“Without fail, I have found them to be the most respectful, appreciative, and forthright group of individuals to work with,” Lauer said in the statement. “Paying it back by joining the Mercer County Military Action Council’s executive board was a decision I made without hesitation.”

Aside from hosting fundraisers and military appreciation events, MCMAC will hold networking events so local business leaders can meet base commanders and procurement agents. The organization will also encourage local businesses to tap into the talent on base and offer transitioning service members an opportunity to use their skills in the civilian workplace.

MCMAC is now accepting sponsorships and memberships through its website.

Local tenant farmer Tama Matsuoka Wong has partnered with the Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space (FoHVOS) to sell wild cedar firestarters in order to maintain her farm assessment, when her business of supply restaurants with speciality ingredients took a hit due to COVID-19.

Prior to the pandemic, Wong farmed and foraged at the Marshall’s Corner (formerly known as Thompson) Preserve. Employing sustainable practices, Wong harvested and sold unique organic plants as specialty ingredients to high end restaurants in New York City. When the pandemic hit, Tama lost her customers overnight as restaurants shut down, according to a prepared statement.

Adding to her misfortune was the risk of not meeting the minimum income requirements to qualify for farm assessment on the property.

Wong is a forager, weed eater, meadow doctor, lawyer and mother of three, according to the statement. She has written several books including a James Beard award nominated cookbook “Foraged Flavor: Finding Fabulous Ingredients in Your Backyard or Farmer’s Market.”

After graduating from Harvard Law School and serving more than 25 years as a financial services lawyer in Tokyo, New York and Hong Kong, she returned with her family New Jersey and rediscovered her passion for the natural world. In 2007 she was named Steward of the Year by the New Jersey Forest Service.

Currently, Wong is a tenant farmer for the Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space in Hopewell Township.

Wong notified Stewardship Director Mike Van Clef of her tenuous position and together they sought out solutions to avoid losing the farm,” she said. As they walked the land, Van Clef noted that the wild cedar (juniper) trees needed to be removed in order to maintain and properly preserve the meadow.

“Removing the underappreciated, weedy, local tree helps restore the land,” Wong said in the statement. “I never like to waste any-

thing, so I researched ways to repurpose the juniper. When I found out that Native Americans revered our local juniper trees for its ‘hot flame,’ I knew I was onto something.”

Wong began experimenting and found if she lightly kiln-dried the wood, they became highly flammable and less smoky, resulting in the perfect firestarter. She said many people are staying home and enjoying their fire pits.

Wong’s company Meadows & More partnered with Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space to sell wild cedar firestarters to the public with goal of raising enough revenue to maintain her farm assessment.

When Pennington Quality Market (PQM) owner Mike Rothwell heard Wong’s story, he immediately wanted to help.

“As a local business, PQM has always focused on giving back to the community. We have been a longtime supporter of FOHVOS, and when they told us about Tama, we knew that the Hopewell Valley community would want to get behind this effort to help a local farmer and we were happy to distribute their wild cedar firestarters,” Rothwell said in the statement.

Wild cedar firestarters are $5 each or 3 for $12. Profits will go to FOHVOS. Unlike other firestarters, they contain no wax or chemicals, are locally harvested, kiln dried and wrapped in natural paper, according to the statement.

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. This gives me the experience and 908-359-0893 insight into these markets. In addition, I also sell in a lot in adult communities since many of my clients are downsizing.
