East Windsor officials recognize township heroes Several local residents, groups and businesses were honored for their exceptional work in the community, through grocery deliveries, food distributions and donations of protective equipment and supplies.

These local heroes helped the East Windsor community keep safe and healthy by being lifelines during the trying times of 2020.

Gregory Dailey turned his morning paper route into a lifeline for those who did not have a means of getting their groceries, according to information provided by the township. Realizing that many of his customers might not be able to get to the store, he left a note with the newspapers for customers to call him if they needed anything, and began receiving calls before he arrived home. Dailey, with his family, has been picking up and delivering groceries to people confined to their homes, making more than 1,000 grocery runs aiding more than 140 homes, since March 2020, according to the statement.

N.J. RISE, under the leadership of Executive Director Leslie Koppel and Board of Directors President Nancy Walker Laudenberger, has supplied food for families in East Windsor and Hightstown via the Hightstownbased food pantry and several major drive-thru food distributions, with pro-active grant support, according to the statement.

RISE has assisted 325 families a week at their food pantry and 7,122 families at 10 major drive-

thru food distribution events.

Sam Katz, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Summer Food Service Program, organized a weekly free food distribution of 7-day food boxes for people under the age of 18 on Sundays at Ethel McKnight Elementary School. Since the start of this program, more than 21,000 meals have been distributed, according to the statement.

HOVIONE, an international pharmaceutical company located on Lake Drive, and General Manager Filipe Tomas reached out at the outset of the pandemic, donating scarce and much-needed township protective equipment and supplies, including 3,500 surgical masks, gallons of disinfectant, large quantities of hand sanitizer bottles, goggles and no touch thermometers for municipal use, according to the statement.

Gloria Hansen pioneered the SewtoStopCovid19 website and Facebook page when the pandemic hit and there was a severe mask shortage. She established it as a way to connect people who sew and are willing to help places in need by enlisting individuals from throughout the region and even nationwide to sew and distribute masks. Since its inception, more then 35,000 masks have been made and donated, according to the statement.

Cranbury formally introduces ordinance for EDAC to become commission

By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer

The Cranbury Township Committee will make a final decision later this month on whether the Economic Development Advisory Committee (EDAC) becomes a commission.

The township committee is now set for a public hearing on Jan. 25 after formally introducing an ordinance on Jan. 11, which formalizes the EDAC as part of the township code.

If the ordinance is adopted the EDAC would still be advisory as a commission and would still report to the township committee.

The commission will be advising the township committee on economic development in Cranbury.

According to the ordinance, EDAC would maintain a baseline snapshot of the current state of Cranbury’s businesses and industries; explore ways to stimulate sustainable economic growth in Cranbury; study and analyze various businesses, industries and professions with a view toward opportunities for expansion of such businesses and industries within the township; and collaborate with local business associations and the Middlesex County

Office of Economic Development and Business Engagement.

In addition, the commission would research the availability of and prepare applications for grants and/or funding, which would need approval from the township committee. The EDAC would report semi-annually to the township committee on the state of the Cranbury’s business community and provide recommendations for improvement.

The EDAC will also continue to consist of seven members appointed by the township

Cranbury school board members re-elect Callahan, Chivate to top spots

Karen Callahan will continue to serve as president of the ninemember Cranbury Board of Education in 2021.

She was re-elected when board members voted unanimously during the annual reorganization meeting on Jan. 6.

Pramod Chivate was unanimously re-elected vice president.

“I am extremely proud and honored to serve as president of the Cranbury Board of Education. The opportunity to serve alongside an incredibly smart and talented group of people is one I don’t take for granted,” Callahan said in a statement to the Cranbury Press. “Our team’s philosophy, collaborative approach, overall professionalism, and mutual respect for one another is what makes my job as board president a little easier, more enjoyable, and truly rewarding. I am

grateful to the board for their vote of confidence and continued support.”

With the swearing in of Robert Christopher, Colleen Raymond and Lisa Rue, the board now consists of President Karen Callahan, Vice President Pramod Chivate, Dominique Jones, Peter Katz, Rob Christopher, Lindsay McDowell, Laura Hoffman, Colleen Raymond and Lisa Rue. “After our board’s organization meeting in 2020, I don’t believe anyone could have ever imagined the year that would lie ahead,” she said. “Events began to unfold at a record pace, our administration and Board worked tirelessly to prepare for the inevi-

table shutdown and ultimate shift to full remote learning for the first time in history. The ‘norms’ Cranbury School students, teachers, staff and administration relied upon were immediately uprooted and have yet to return.”

Callahan added that they are extremely proud of the resilience Cranbury students have exhibited during this current period.

“While we acknowledge the immense challenges that were faced in 2020, the board fully anticipates 2021 may be equally if not more challenging. As we anxiously await the day our students are able to return to the full time, more traditional learning environment we have been ac-

customed to, we realize the traditional learning model may be forever changed,” she said. “In the weeks and months ahead, the board and the administration will be planning and preparing to meet our students where they are as they emerge from this historic time period.”

Callahan continued by saying addressing the needs of the students following these unprecedented times will be a massive undertaking.

“The board, along with administration, teachers and staff, are fully committed to our mission of providing every student the opportunity to rise above this dark period in history and continue to

shine,” she said.

According to school district administration, students and staff will resume hybrid instruction at the Cranbury School on Jan. 19.

Students in Cohort A, and all kindergarten through third grade students will report to school on Jan. 19 for in-person learning.

When Jan. 20 arrives, remote instruction for all students will occur, as Wednesdays are slated as remote instruction days for all students to deep clean the school facilities between A/B cohorts.

Students in Cohort B are scheduled to return to school on Jan. 21 for in-person learning.

CALENDAR Ongoing

The AARP Foundation TaxAide Program will not be offered this tax season at any site in Mercer County because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, AARP is offering an alternative this year called the AARP Alternative Tax Preparation program (ATP). The ATP program provides direct taxpayer access to free online tax software for this year’s taxes as well as video and/or phone assistance with a certified AARP tax assister.

Rather than doing the tax return for taxpayers, certified AARP tax assisters help taxpayers prepare their own online returns.

Starting Jan. 22, taxpayers can get more information about the Alternative Tax Preparation program at aarpfoundation.org/ taxaide.

The Tax-Aide program intends to resume preparing tax returns at Mercer County sites next year.

Cranbury residents are invited to join the township’s Recreation Board, the Municipal Alliance, the Clock Winding Committee and the Historic Preservation Commission.

Most meet via Zoom for now.

The season is expected to begin in mid-April and end in midJune. Those dates will remain flexible.

COVID-19 protocols will continue to be firmly in place for the spring, and full compliance with all protocols is expected of everyone in the program.

If a family has a credit from last Spring, that credit will be manually applied by the league

“The Long Shadow” is a PBS documentary about Director Frances Causey’s personal experience of White privilege in the context of anti-Black racism in the U.S. She exposes her own family’s history of slaveholding and looks at how slavery continues to have an impact today.

Not In Our Town Princeton, La Convivencia, and the Racial Justice Task Force of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton have teamed up to sponsor several days of free online viewing opportunities for the public. During the week of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, through Jan. 23, anyone can view “The Long Shadow” online at a convenient day and time for no ticket cost.

Content warning: The film contains brief shots of violent, degrading images and references to human suffering.

Jan. 22 to Jan. 24

Princeton Photo Workshop will offer a live photo boot camp, with sessions scheduled for 6-8:30 p.m. Jan. 22, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (with a break for lunch) Jan. 23 and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. (with break for lunch) Jan. 24.

This introductory workshop offers new photographers a deep dive into the skills needed to make better pictures with a camera.

During the workshop, there will be informative and inspirational live presentations, alternating with shooting exercises that give the opportunity to test out the techniques being learned, and then a chance to come together after each exercise for Q&A and group discussion.

The instructor will be “in the room” for face-to-face instruction and feedback during all shooting activities.

Learn how the camera thinks, reacts and works; and learn the relationships among aperture, shutter speed, ISO and more. Explore what makes a good image, including composition, light and the photographer; getting comfortable with seeing and investigating subjects, whether people, objects or the natural world; and using what is learned during the weekend to expand from taking snapshots to making artistic images.

The course includes image review for feedback and examples of how a photographer uses post processing to enhance an image.

The cost is $339.

Saturdays, through March 13

The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory’s (PPPL) 36-year tradition of offering weekly informative talks on a wide variety of science subjects continues with a live online version.

The Ronald E. Hatcher Science on Saturday Lecture Series resumes from 9:30-11:30 a.m.

Saturdays through March 13, on the Zoom virtual meeting platform.

The series kicks off with a lecture on “The Renaissance of the Stellarator Fusion Concept,”

by PPPL physicist David Gates, head of Advanced Projects. Stellarators, a type of fusion energy facility that has twisty coils, were invented by PPPL founder Lyman Spitzer in the 1950s. The complex devices have been a less popular choice for fusion experiments than donut-shaped tokamaks but

are making a come-back as scientists find new approaches to stellarator design.

Other highlights include a talk

by Geeta Govindarajoo, professor of chemistry at Rutgers University, on the intersection between chemistry and art. Govindarajoo will discuss the role of chemistry in creating and restoring art and detecting forgeries.

Post questions for the speaker by tweeting to @PPPLsSciEd or #scionsat.

The remaining schedule is: • Jan. 23: Geeta Govindarajoo, of Rutgers University’s Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, “Chemistry and Art: Like Dissolves Like. How Solubility Influences Creating and Restoring Art, Forgery and Telling a Good Story” • Jan. 30: Cristian Galbiaiti, of Princeton University’s Department of Physics, “From studying the Sun, to searching for dark matter, to fighting COVID-19” • Feb. 6: Adam Ruben, author, “Public Perception of Science: Lesson from a Dead Sheep.”

• Feb. 13: Slobain Duffy, “Virus Host-Shifting: Insights from Laboratory Experimental Evolution” • Feb. 27: Tracy Drain, of NASA, “Mars Exploration Program” • March 6: Sophia Gershman, PPPL, “Plasma Science Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic” • March 13: Kory Evans, Rice University, “Ecology and Evolution of Teleost Fishes” Recordings of the talks will be posted on the Science Education website a few weeks after the initial viewing.

Chelsea communities to receive COVID-19 vaccine

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

‘Superhero’ commissioner joins Biden-Harris administration When Clark Kent puts on his glasses to hide his identity as a superhero his peers see him sit behind a desk oblivious to his agenda.

After Gov. Phil Murphy appointed Carole Johnson as the commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Human Services, the disabled community figured there was another government official to manage the largest department in New Jersey. She had come from the Obama administration working on health care and public disability policy.

The commissioner visited our programs with people with severe medical fragility. She seemed to be a quiet, yet intellectually

gifted leader. Then the pandemic hit.

It was at that time that the provider communities in New Jersey saw her turn into a superhero.

As a national non-profit we have experienced firsthand unorganized management for COVID-19 mitigation in many of the other states.

In other states we were faced with the lack of reporting viral outbreaks, actual cuts in supports and in some cases, feckless direction. This was not the case in New Jersey.

Commissioner Carole Johnson knew that direct support retention was critical. She knew how to handle the crisis in the throes of

the most challenging times ever faced by those of us serving the most vulnerable have ever experienced. She knew that supports coupled with clear communication was essential for our essential staff.

New Jersey is losing a superhero. Hopefully Carole Johnson will guide the president for successful supports for persons with disabilities as a national leader as part of the BidenHarris Administration’s White House COVID-19 response team.

Chelsea Senior Living founder and CEO Herb Heflich, top, and President and COO Roger Bernier both received vaccines to set an example for their safety.

Vaccinations are available for residents and staff of Chelsea Senior Living communities.

Receiving the vaccine will be voluntary. However, Chelsea founder and CEO Herb Heflich and President and COO Roger Bernier both received vaccines to set an example for their safety.

“We ask all of our residents and staff to help us keep everyone in our buildings safe and healthy,” Bernier said in

a prepared statement. “To that end, we strongly urge everyone to be vaccinated.

The vaccine has been exhaustively tested and approved by the FDA and CDC and is said to be at least 95% effective in preventing illness due to COVID-19.”

The vaccine, given in two injections a month apart, will be administered by trained pharmacists from CVS, which is handling vaccines for thousands of long term care residents and staff nationwide.

Thanks to our wonderful community for donating more than 2,600 specially chosen gifts to HomeFront’s annual Christmas Wishes Drive. The pandemic didn’t slow Santa down or stop him from keeping his appointment with each HomeFront child who was waiting for him with a heart full of hope.

If you saw the thousands of gifts arriving on the HomeFront dock for our kids during our annual Christmas Wishes Drive, you too would believe in Santa Claus. These gifts chosen with each child’s special wishes in mind delight and entertain children who would otherwise have

Mondays, Jan. 25 to Feb. 22

Mercer County Community College is accepting students for its new health-professions program: “Medical Cannabis Training.”

The 15-hour non-credit class will run Monday evenings, Jan. 25 through Feb. 22, from 6-9 p.m. via Zoom.

Anyone from the public age 18 and up may enroll.

The course will be offered through MCCC’s Center for Continuing Studies and students will receive a certificate upon completion of the course.

The Medical Cannabis Training course is intended for anyone who is interested in a career on the ground floor of the medical cannabis profession, or who is curious about this emerging industry in New Jersey.

The five-day course will introduce students to this highly regulated industry by bringing in a variety of subject-matter experts to discuss areas of import such as federal and state laws and regulations, the endocannabinoid system, cultivation basics, how cannabis products are made, as well as cover dispensary-technician training techniques such as dosing, administration and compliance.

Tuesday, Jan. 26

The Samaritan Institute for Education, Research & Innovation presents a monthly virtual series to teach caregivers practical tips about how to care for their loved one with a serious illness.

The first virtual workshop in this series will offer advice and guidance on self-care and compassion fatigue, as well as provide hands-on tips and tricks about caregiving activities such as mouth care and bed bathing. The workshop will be held from 2-3 p.m. Jan. 26, and consists of a 30-minute presentation followed by a question-andanswer session.

There is no cost to attend the free virtual workshop.

For more information or to register, call 856-552-3285 or email info@samaritannj. org. Once registered, attendees will receive instructions on how to log on to StartMeeting, the online meeting platform the workshop will be hosted on.

Volunteers with the Yes We CAN! Food Drives are so deeply appreciative of the community support we have received this past year in collecting food to help our neighbors overcome food security. Through our food drives at supermarkets and farmers markets, our volunteers have collected an astonishing 14,000 pounds of donations.

All that fresh and canned food goes to Arm in Arm food pantries in Trenton and Princeton for free distribution to their clients, a list that includes families, seniors and veterans.

Due to the health crisis, many more people find themselves unemployed. Is it any wonder that Arm in Arm has experienced a dramatic increase in the number of individuals and fami-

gotten nothing on Christmas morning. But most importantly, they also keep a sense of wonder and belief alive in many of them who live chaotic and scary lives.

As with so many other things this year, the Christmas Wishes Drive of 2020 took on a much deeper meaning for our HomeFront kids. For our older kids the gifts were like a hug from someone out there in a year of social isolation. They were a reminder that they, and Christmas, were not forgotten – that they were still “seen” in a pretty dark time. For our little ones those gifts reaffirmed their belief – in Santa Claus, in an end to “the sickness”, in

lies needing food support?

You have an opportunity to help Yes We CAN! Food Drives, and by extension, your neighbors, by supporting the winter market of the West Windsor Community Farmers Market. Every first and third Saturday through April, the market is held outdoors, rain, snow or shine, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at MarketFair on Route 1 in West Windsor.

Come meet your neighbors and enjoy a Saturday morning outing while buying directly from local farmers. Available to you is fresh produce, coastal seafood, farm fresh eggs, artisan cheese, fresh pasta and sauces, soups and chili, pastured meats and poultry, gluten-free baked goods, alpaca fiber wear, and much more.

a better future for their family, in hope and in the fact that they are loved- all the things that help them stay mentally healthy and resilient.

We are overwhelmed by the kindness of hundreds of people in our community who made sure that those children who daily live under the specter of homelessness were remembered

by Santa.

Kelsey Espada HomeFront Volunteer Coordinator Wendy Lipka HomeFront Drive Volunteer HomeFront Lawrenceville

Yes We Can! volunteers are set up at the outdoor market, where we use cash donations from visitors to buy fresh produce from the farmers. A win-win for both the farmers and those in need of food.

Please mark the farmers market dates on your calendar: Feb. 6 and 20, March 6 and 20, and April 3 and 17. You can reach the market from the Meadow Road side parking lot in front of the AMC Theater.

Older Adults at Greater Risk for Falls and Fractures

D

id you know that according to the National Institute on Aging, more than 1 in 3 people age 65 years or older falls each year?

Moreover, thousands of older adults sustain significant injuries, including fractures, after a fall.

Physical therapy, however, can help older adults recover from falls and it can also help prevent falls before they happen.

Princeton Rehabilitation, a unit of Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center (PMC), offers comprehensive physical therapy services to help improve strength and balance and address issues of dizziness and vertigo so that patients can stay on their feet as they age.

Leading Cause of Injury-Related Death Falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths among adults age 65 and older in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

More specifically, falls that result in a hip fracture are especially dangerous as studies indicate that hip fractures are associated with increased mortality rates for older adults.

This is in part because older adults are more likely to have other health complications, making them slower to recover from injuries than others.

As the CDC notes, more than 300,000 adults age 65 and older are hospitalized for a hip fracture each year in the United States, and the chances of breaking a hip increase as you get older.

Common Risk Factors There are many reasons someone may experience a fall, and typically, the more risk factors someone has, the greater their chances of falling.

Some of the most common risk factors for falling include: • Dizziness and vertigo, which may be caused by medication or another health conditions.

• Lower body weakness.

• Difficulty walking and balancing.

• Vision problems.

• Poor footwear.

• Home hazards, such as area rugs, poor lighting, wet floors, and small pets that are underfoot.

According to the CDC, women are especially at risk.

The CDC reports that women fall more often than men, and are more prone to osteoporosis, a disease that weakens bones and makes them more susceptible to fracture.

Further, falling once doubles your chances of falling again.

If you are concerned about your risk for falling or have already experienced a fall, talk to your doctor. He or she may prescribe physical therapy to help reduce your risk.

Prevention Tips The best way to prevent fractures is to prevent falls.

Here are some steps you can take to reduce your risk of falling: • Start with sensible shoes. High heels, sloppy slippers, and shoes with slick soles can make you slip, stumble, and fall. So can walking in socks or stockings. Choose proper fitting, sturdy shoes with nonskid soles. Trade slip-ons for lace-up shoes or shoes with Velcro straps.

• Light up your life. Keep your home brightly lit to avoid tripping over objects that are hard to see. Use night lights in bedrooms, bathrooms and hallways. Have a lamp within reach of your bed. Turn on the lights when going up and down stairs.

• Address home hazards. Secure loose rugs with slipresistant backing, or better yet remove loose rugs altogether. Declutter. Store clothing, food and dishes within reach.

Put up railings on indoor and outdoor stairs, and install non-slip treads on bare wood steps.

• Be safe in the bath. Bathrooms are common places for falls. Install grab bars around the tub and toilet. Consider a tub chair or bench and handheld shower. Use non-skid mats.

• See to it. Check your eyeglass prescription regularly

and clean your glasses on a daily basis.

• Keep moving. Exercise helps to strengthen your muscles, improve joint mobility and improve balance. Strength exercises can be performed standing or while seated in a supportive chair or even on the bed. Slow exercises like tai chi and seated yoga are great for getting you moving and for improving your balance.

• Review your medications. Periodically review your prescriptions with your physician, pharmacist, or healthcare practitioner to ensure they’re not causing side effects like dizziness or vertigo.

Physical Therapy Can Help Physical therapists can help people reduce their risk of falling by developing an individualized exercise program that builds strength and improves balance. They can also teach you how to use assistive devices, such as canes and walkers, to help you get around safely. In addition, therapists can perform a home safety inspection to identify and address fall hazards.

Physical therapy is also important when recovering after a fall. In many cases, people fear falling again and limit their activity. Working with a therapist to regain strength and mobility can also help you regain your confidence and quality of life.

National Tree Company opens new facility in East Windsor National Tree Company is opening a new facility in East Windsor after signing a lease with property owner Dermody Properties to occupy an entire existing 608,442-squarefoot building on Milford Road.

National Tree Company, a national leader in the seasonal décor industry based in New Jersey, will begin to occupy their new facility at 150 Milford Road this month.

“East Windsor is excited to welcome National Tree Company, a 60-year family operated company, to a prime township commercial site, just minutes away from the New Jersey Turnpike and major transportation networks.

Their decision to relocate to East Windsor, especially in this difficult financial atmosphere, exhibits a strong confidence in the attractiveness and economic vitality of East Windsor for business. East Windsor also is excited that the National Tree new facility is anticipated to generate up to 150 to 200 new jobs, an exceptionally important plus at a time when local jobs are especially valued,” Mayor Janice S. Mironov said in a prepared statement.

National Tree Company, for sixty years, has been a leading importer and wholesaler of artificial Christmas trees, wreaths, garlands, holiday decorations and fiber optics products. The company recently has expanded their product line to include a seasonal category featuring decorative pieces for display during all seasons indoor or outdoor and includes items for Easter, Independence Day and Halloween.

This new East Windsor operation is expected to create up to 150 to 200 new jobs, according to the statement.

“East Windsor has successfully attracted another national company due to our strategic central location, excellent access to transportation, highly skilled workforce and a business friendly hands-on local government environment that responds to the needs of the business community. East Windsor has demonstrated tremendous value to commercial users looking for an unbeatable strategic

“This year, we’ve seen consistent uptrends in e-commerce in many areas of the country, and New Jersey is no exception,” Gene Preston, East Region partner at Dermody Properties, said in the statement. “We worked collaboratively with East Windsor Township to upgrade and improve the building’s functionality, making it ideal for this customer’s robust operations that will serve its national customer base.”

“This property at 150 Milford Road presented the op-

portunity for us to consolidate our three smaller New Jersey warehouse locations into one in East Windsor,” Don Kelley, chief executive officer at National Tree Company, said in the statement. “This is a critical move in allowing us to expand our operations with improved efficiency.”

The existing facility at 150 Milford Road recently was purchased by Dermody Properties, a national private equity real estate investment, development and management company. The facility has been enhanced with upgrades to the sprinkler system, new LED warehouse lighting and a repaved truck area, in anticipation of National Tree Company occupying the space commencing this month, according to the statement.

d James Demetriades

r - The University of Pennsylvania Health System has named James Demetriades CEO of Penn Medicine Princeton Health.

He will begin his new role on March 1.

Demetriades has been with Penn Medicine Princeton Health for 17 years, and curorently serves as senior vice president and chief operating officer.

- He has been a key player in some of Princeton Health’s most important milestones over the past several years — a transformative time that included joining the University of Pennsylvania Health System, according to a hstatement provided by Penn Medicine Princdeton Healthy.

Demetriades succeeds Barry Rabner, who has served as president and CEO since 2002.

- “James is a proven leader who we are exdcited to elevate into a role in which he will help chart and execute Penn Medicine Princleton Health’s journey forward as an institution that sets the highest standards in care for

patients and the community in New Jersey,” University of Pennsylvania Health System CEO Kevin B. Mahoney said in the statement.

Demetriades led the overall system planning and execution process to become part of the University of Pennsylvania Health System, collaborating with other senior leaders to execute the Medical Staff Development Plan and serving as the management liaison to the Princeton Health Board of Trustees’ Strategic Planning Committee that developed a fiveyear strategic plan for 2020-25, according to the statement.

In addition to his ongoing responsibilities for clinical departments and ancillary and support services, he also provides leadership for emergency management at Princeton Health, including the comprehensive work done throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The knowledge and experience James brings to this role will be invaluable as he leads the organization toward even greater achievements in clinical outcomes, quality, patient and employee engagement, medical staff alignment and community relations,” Anthony Kuczinski, chair of the Princeton Health Board, said in the statement. “We are excited about the combination of James’ strategic thinking and the passion he has for the organization, our patients and community we serve.”

Previously, Demetriades also served as vice president for Professional Services, and has had operational responsibility for Surgical Services, Laboratory Services, Radiology/ Imaging, Cancer Program and many other clinical and non-clinical areas.

He has also held roles at the Reading Hospital and Medical Center in West Reading, Pennsylvania, and HealthSouth Corporation

Middlesex County College announces name change Middlesex County College is transforming to Middlesex College.

The college’s Board of Trustees approved the name change in October, which took effect Jan. 1.

A public unveiling of the new logo and visual identity is planned for some time in May. “We know two things,” College President Mark McCormick said in a prepared statement. “First, that students receive an excellent education here, and when they transfer to a four-year college or university, they do as well or better than students who start at a four-year institution. They are very well prepared. But we are also well aware that there is a stigma attached to community colleges. While we know the high quality of the educational experiences we provide, that message has not fully penetrated in our community. We hope this name change will go a long way in doing that.”

Two-year colleges in other states have already begun to drop “community” or “county” from their names as part of a rebrand, according to the statement, including Gloucester County College, which changed its name first to Rowan College at Gloucester

County and then last year to Rowan College of South Jersey when it merged with the former Cumberland County College.

McCormick noted that the name change would not affect the objective of the college.

“Our mission remains the same,” he said in the statement. “It is to offer a quality, affordable education for the people of Middlesex County, and to help our students thrive in education, growth and personal success. That will not change.

“We are fortunate to have the support of the Middlesex County Commissioners in this effort,” he continued. “We thank the commissioners and the county administration for their incredible support of Middlesex College and our mission.”

The college is planning an open house on April 18 and expects to have new admissions materials created by that date.

The diplomas for May 2021 graduates will say Middlesex College, and the college anticipates having a fully revamped website by the fall of 2021.

College athletic teams, which have been known as the Blue Colts, will now be the Middlesex Colts, and a mascot will be unveiled in the months ahead.

in North Brunswick.

“I am honored to be given the opportunity to serve Penn Medicine Princeton Health as the CEO. I have spent 17 years here because I believe it is an outstanding organization and I hope to provide the kind of strategic leadership that will continue to propel us forward,” Demetriades said in the statement. “I am grateful to have a team of very knowledgeable and caring colleagues, the guidance of a highly committed board and the strength of

the entire Penn Medicine system supporting our work.”

Demetriades earned his Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Administration from the University of Scranton and holds a Master’s of Business Administration in Healthcare Administration from the Temple University Fox School of Business in Philadelphia. He is a member of the American College of Healthcare Executives and a Reserve Medical Service Corps Officer in the United States Navy.

Frisby elected chairman of Mercer County Commissioners

By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer

New Jersey's Official Health Insurance Marketplace

Samuel Frisby has been elected the new chair of the Mercer County Board of Commissioners for 2021.

After the swearing in of Commissioners John Cimino and Lucylle Walter, Frisby was nominated to become the next chair

by Commissioner Nina Melker, and was unanimously elected by his fellow commissioners on Jan. 9 at the board’s annual reorganization meeting.

He takes over the duties of chairman from Commissioner Andrew Koontz, who led the board in 2020.

“Let me start first by saying thank you to my dear friend and mentor former Mayor Douglas H. Palmer for swearing me in today,” Frisby said in his remarks.

“The fact that the term ‘freeholder’ has been eliminated from the lexicon of county government, which I believe to be a racist, misogynistic and non-inclusive term, I thought it only fitting to have the first African American mayor of the City of Trenton, who served on this board as a freeholder, swear in the first African American Mercer County Board of Commissioner chair.”

Members of the board officially adopted the title change in their last meeting of 2020 in December. In addition, Frisby thanked his colleagues for trusting him with the reigns in 2021.

“I’m believing that 2021 will bring much more peace and joy than we saw in 2020. With the vaccine now being disseminated, we are moving in the right direction,” he said. “I am looking forward

to working with this administration and would like to host monthly Zoom meetings featuring different areas of county government to educate the general public on what the county government does and continue to update ourselves as commissioners on what the county is doing.”

The county clerk, county surrogate, county Division of Public Health and Department of Human Services and Parks Commission are being looked at as some of Frisby’s first guests.

Melker was nominated by Cimino to become the board’s next vice chair. She was also unanimously elected and replaces Frisby, who had served in the position during 2020.

“It is my honor and privilege to serve as a Mercer County commissioner and I am so honored to have the opportunity to serve as vice chair. This past year has been one that has been filled with many challenges,” she said. “I know firsthand how COVID has affected all of us as I had the virus and was very lucky to be a survivor.

My thoughts and my prayers are with all of the families that have been affected by this virus.”

She added that the board is working hard to help get the vaccine out resident in Mercer County as quickly as possible.

“Our country needs to heal and unite2 and bring the change that we very much need,” Melker said. “I look forward to working closely with our incoming Chair Samuel Frisby.”

East Windsor ‘turns on switch’ at new solar panel array at treatment plant Local officials and company representatives recently turned on the power to the recently completed solar array project at the East Windsor Municipal Utilities Authority (EWMUA) Wastewater Treatment Plant on Millstone Road.

“East Windsor Township has been dedicated in our commitment to environmental sustainability and we have been pro-active in seeking opportunities that allow us to increase our renewable resources and become more energy efficient. This project, completed at no cost to our taxpayers and resulting in an almost $2.5 million cost savings over the 15 year term of the agreement, is a prime example of ‘going green and saving green,’ ” East Windsor Mayor Janice S. Mironov said in a prepared statement.

Mironov, along with Council Members Alan Rosenberg and John Zoller, joined EWMUA Executive Director

Richard Brand and Chairperson Linda Moore, EWMUA board members and representatives of Solar Landscape to cut the ribbon.

“This additional step toward sustainability helps keep rates down while reducing the East Windsor MUA carbon footprint by 2.5 million pounds a year,” Brand said in the statement.

The 1.66-megawatt solar array, completed and maintained by Solar Landscape, at no cost to the township, was installed on 6.5 acres of the total 130-acre EWMUA property on the south side of Millstone Road, to power the site’s wastewater treatment plant.

The solar panel system is designed to offset nearly 100% of the plant’s energy use, resulting in a savings to the township of over $2.5 million over the 15-year term of the agreement, according to the statement.

year.

In my second go-round with the XT4, the handling seemed more precise to me and the ride was not as squishy and more down to earth, which I liked.

Powering the 2021 XT4 is a 2.0 liter, turbo-charged, four cylinder engine that puts out 237 horsepower. It pairs with a nine-speed transmission and is offered in front or all wheel drive versions.

This XT4 seemed amply powered to me. I didn’t zero to 60 time test it. But, the folks at Car and Driver has it clocked at 7.8 seconds for the zero to 60, which won’t win you too many Gran Prix races.

The base price for the Premium Luxury model I drove is $42,295.

However, my tester was loaded with option packages, which included: $2,500 for the comfort and technology package; $1,500 for embedded navigation and a 13-speaker Bose sound system; $1,500 for an enhanced visibility package; $1,100 for a driver assist package; $850 for a cold weather package; $625 for Garnet metallic paint and $470 for a driver awareness package.

The comfort and technology package includes: 8 way power seats; heated and cooled seat with massage and lumbar; wireless phone charging.

The enhanced visibility package includes: a rear camera mirror; parking assist; rear pedestrian alert and HD surround vision.

The EPA’s fuel economy ratings for the XT4 come in at 24 miles per gallon overall – with 29 miles per gallon for highway driving and 22 mpg around town.

The EPA estimates that it will cost $2,050 a year in fuel to run this XT4 as it uses, on average, 4.2 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven.

In the government’s 5-star safety crash test ratings, the XT4 scored an impressive five stars on its overall vehicle score.

It received five stars for the side crash test, four stars for the rollover test, five stars for the front driver’s side test and four stars for the front passenger side test.

Overall, I feel the XT4 stacks up quite nicely when you compare it to the other competitors in this crowded small, luxury segment.

If you are considering leasing or purchasing a small, luxury SUV or crossover, the XT4 should be one have on your short list.

EDAC Continued from Page 1A committee. Each member must either be a Cranbury resident and/or business owner of a business in the township.

The EDAC was first established as a committee by the township committee in June 2020 through a resolution. The idea for the committee stemmed from Township Committeeman Matt Scott, who served as mayor in 2020.

Since its creation the EDAC had briefed members of the township committee on the data it had collected during the discovery phase. The EDAC currently is in its define

phase and developing the next steps to not only attract, but retain, small businesses in the downtown area.

Once the define phase is complete, which will solicit feedback from not just the township committee members, but other businesses in town and residents, EDAC will then move to the deliver phase. The deliver phase of the group’s three-phased approach focuses on the implementation of the plan and agenda items developed through the define phase.

New Year, new dreams fulfilled at The Heritage at Claremont

This luxurious community nestled in the rolling hills of beautiful Bernardsville has sold three homes in recent weeks.

BERNARDSVILLE, NJ – With a New Year comes new dreams that can be fulfilled at The Heritage at Claremont in Bernardsville. Homes are selling quickly at this luxurious Bernardsville community where exciting journeys are about to unfold. Just ask John (Chuck) and Suzanne Chuhinko – the couple moved to The Heritage at Claremont last year after downsizing from their sprawling Tewksbury Township estate. After being rooted there for many years, they knew it was time to start fresh with a low maintenance lifestyle. The Chuhinkos’ new home search led them to The Heritage at Claremont – and that’s the moment they realized they were finally ready to start their next chapter.

The remarkable community features an intimate offering of just 20 luxury condominiums.

The borough’s landmark Parish House has been reimagined as a luxury residential structure now called The Great Hall, which is home to four luxury condominiums. “I loved the building,” said Suzanne. “I just loved it. When I came in and saw the high ceilings, I knew it could be wonderful. We hired a friend who was a designer and it was a very easy process.”

Harmonizing the old and the new, The Heritage at Claremont offers the finest finishes and features with each residence dedicated to a luxury all its own. Open concept floor plans offer up to three bedrooms, up to three-and-a-half baths, up to 2,800 sq. ft. of living space, a terrace, enclosed garage parking and storage. Other highlights include chef-inspired kitchens with designer appliances, specialty countertops and furniturequality cabinetry. Primary bathrooms are complimented by radiant heating and designer fixtures. All residences showcase superior highperformance energy efficiency, including heating and cooling systems and sound insulation.

Nestled on two acres of picturesque rolling hills, the estate’s lovely grounds feature mature trees, specimen shrubs, lush gardens and strolling paths. “I think the landscaping here is fabulous,” Chuck added. “The way they coordinated the stone, the grass, the trees and all of the walkways – I think that makes the place.”

The Chuhinkos have complimentary access to concierge services – a perk that is offered to all residents who call this community home. “With a genuine smile and warm welcome, our friendly staff of concierges elevate the unique way of life offered at this community,” said Kevin Cullen, Vice President of The Conti Group, the project’s developer. “Whether you need a helping hand, a watchful eye or a go-to person for some of life’s details, our concierges greatly extend a variety of thoughtful services.”

Common areas at The Heritage at Claremont are monitored both in-person and remotely, giving residents additional peace of mind while parking their cars, strolling the property and accessing their residences. As an added benefit, utilities, maintenance and repair services are all included in homeowner’s association fees, affording residents a value-driven, worry-free lifestyle that can easily be found at The Heritage at Claremont. “I love the staff here,” said Chuck. “If there is an issue, it is solved immediately.”

The Heritage at Claremont is just minutes from Bernardsville’s charming and vibrant town center, which offers shops, services, boutiques, a movie theater and some truly magnificent restaurants. “I like walking to the restaurants,” said Chuck. “There are five or six different restaurants that we can walk down into this beautiful village.”

With New York City less than an hour away, residents are easily connected to the sights, sounds, shows and shopping in the most sought-after city in the world. The Bernardsville Train Station is also in close proximity. “Now I can walk right down and get on the train to go to New York,” Suzanne said. “It’s wonderful.”

In retrospect, the Chuhinkos could not be more pleased with their decision to move to The Heritage at Claremont. “I love walking in the front door,” said Suzanne. “It’s just perfect. It’s beautiful here. I just love to come home.”

The Heritage at Claremont is located at 80 Claremont Road, Bernardsville, NJ 07924. Residences are priced from the $700s to $1.7M. Private tours are available. To learn more, call 908-857-4492 or visit theheritageatclaremont.com.

About The Heritage at Claremont The Heritage at Claremont breaks new ground in the concept of luxury home building. Visionary Natale G. Conti and noted architect Jeffrey Beer came together to create The Great Hall and The Collection. Working with project advisor Daniel Lincoln, known for his work in historic preservation, Beer has harmonized the old with the new at The Heritage at Claremont. The community, located at 80 Claremont Road in Bernardsville, is sponsored by NGC Development, LLC and represented by Turpin Realtors.
