A ‘ruff ’ count

Baseball season winds up

State law demands a census of every Spike, Spot and Rover

By LeXie yearLy

By roB antheS A 70-year-old state law has some municipal officials in New Jersey feeling like they are chasing their tails. As it turns out, they may be. In 1941, in an attempt to stem the momentum of a growing rabies epidemic, the New Jersey Legislature decreed that municipalities had to tally every dog within their borders. Of special interest was an annual count of unlicensed animals—a dog census. As far as anyone knows, New Jersey is the only state to mandate such a census. Target the animals without licenses, and find the ones most susceptible to rabies, the thinking went. Dogs must be licensed in New Jersey, and, in order to be licensed, they must be immunized against rabies. So, around the state, animal control officers or hired workers would knock on doors trying to find dogs without licenses. They’d find them, for sure, but some municipalities found the census cost more in wages than it earned in dog license fees. It demanded time and money some officials felt could be better used elsewhere, and presented administrations with plenty of questions. Mostly, See DOG CENSUS, Page 6 N

Renaissance Faire opens portal to the past By aLiZa aLPerin-SheriFF Around the solstices and equinoxes, the fairies in the woods of Burlington County open magic portals that allow time travel. Should you stumble upon one of these portals, you will be transported to Crossford, an Elizabethan English village complete with a duke and duchess, peasants and criminals. At least that’s how the founders of the New Jersey Renaissance Faire want you to feel at their event, which will be held May 31, June 1, June 7 and June

8 at Liberty Lake Day Camp in Bordentown. The fair’s main focus is interactive theater, which means that the cast’s primary role is interacting with the patrons, giving them a feel for the time period and bringing them into the fantasy that they have gone back in time. “People are starving for that non-electronic interaction with people,” said T.J. Miller, one of the fair’s founders. “We’re not a video game, we’re not TV. The people they see performing come up and talk to them.” The New Jersey Renaissance

Faire was conceived by Miller, John Williams and Phil Leipf in 2009. All three had worked at other renaissance fairs for years before deciding to start their own. The fair has entertainers who sing, dance, tell stories, juggle, joust and shoot crossbows; six stages where cast members perform shows throughout the day; vendors selling handicrafts; food and a wine garden. “It’s like summer camp for adults,” Miller said. However, the fair is not exclusively for adults. The atmosphere See FAIRE, Page 8

As Ocean Spray prepares to shut down in Bordentown and open at its newly built plant in Upper Macungie Township, Pa., Bordentown City is also preparing to address the void the bottling plant will leave after the decades spent in its Park Street location. Nearly three years after plans for relocation were first announced, the new plant was set to officially open its doors on April 29. As of press time, Ocean Spray was in the midst of commissioning the new plant, which means testing was being done on both equipment and process. However, the next several months are expected to be a time of transition, Ocean Spray spokesperson Kellyanne Dignan said, and production would still continue in Bordentown as the new facility gets into full swing. About 100 employees at the Bordentown plant were expected to relocate or had already relocated to the new facility. “As we ramp up operations in Lehigh Valley this spring, we will begin a ramp down in Bordentown,” Dignan wrote in an email. “We expect some operations and personnel to remain through the summer and have communicated to our employees and local officials that there will be phased laySee OCEAN SPRAY, Page 10

Leading

Festival season kicks off in Bordentown City It’s festival season in Bordentown City, and with May comes two springtime celebrations: the Iris Festival, set for May 10, and the Street Fair, set for May 17-18. The 18th Annual Franklin Carr Iris Growers Competition kicks off Mother’s Day weekend and is open to the public from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The Iris Festival remembers Bordentown native Franklin Carr, a renowned hybridizer of Irises and a master judge for the American Iris Society. He won 28 international awards for his flowers, some of which are in the Vatican Gardens in Rome, the Buckingham Royal Gardens in London, and the Palengraden in Frankford, Germany. Jackie Reed, Iris competition coordinator for 18 years, has worked with the Downtown Bordentown Association to continue the legacy of Franklin Carr and his hybrid Irises. His irises still reside today in the Franklin

Carr garden built by volunteers under careful direction of George Karousatos, Carr’s neighbor, and has since been lovingly maintained by Bordentown residents Ellen Kosar and Diane Burroughs. At the festival, a limited amount of Tall Bearded Iris plants nurtured by the Garden State Iris Society will be on sale after 11 a.m. at the Friends Meeting House, 302 Farnsworth Ave., for $10 each. From 8–9:30 a.m. Irises should be dropped off at the Friends Meeting House. Judging by Catherine Button, of the Garden State Iris Society, takes place at 10. At 1 p.m. Beth Davis, a third generation orchid grower, will speak at Jesters Café on the topic “Orchids Are Different But Not Difficult.” At 2 p.m., Frank Victor with speak at Old City Hall, 11 Crosswicks St., on the topic “Native Plants and Wildlife Habitats—Perfect Together.”

The day’s festivities also include carriage rides, fresh flower and garden décor vendors, local artists showcasing floral designs from paintings to jewelry, and more. Award winning artists Arlene Marcoe, Susan Winter and Joe Rademan will be among the artists painting the garden and Iris Festival scenes of beautiful Historic Bordentown throughout the day. After the artists are finished, their work will be displayed at Farnsworth Gallery, located in the Bonaparte Antiques building, 375 Farnsworth Ave., and for sale at the end of the day. Activities are free, though carriage rides will be offered for a fee. The following week, more outdoor fun is set to attract crowds the heart of Bordentown City. The weekend of May 17-18, the city streets are set to buzz with activity around

the extensive collection of vendors, food and fun for adults and children at the 37th annual Bordentown Street Fair. Open to the public from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and located on Farnsworth Avenue in the center of downtown Bordentown City, the two-day event features crafters, boutiques, galleries and great food. An eclectic array of boutique shop merchants from historical downtown Bordentown set up shop on the streets for two full days of fun and festivities. Gourmet local restaurants prepare food, local non-profits hold fund raisers, children flock to the Kids’ Corner, and local groups provide free entertainment. The event is organized and sponsored by the Northern Burlington County Chamber of Commerce. For more information, go online to nbrchamber.org/street_fair.html.

DOG CENSUS continued from Page 1 the frustration boiled down to just one big question: Is a wild dog chase really worth it? It depends on who you ask. Robbinsville mayor Dave Fried hasn’t shied away from sharing his thoughts on the matter. Fried has been among the toughest critics of the dog census, calling the law “small ball” and “ridiculous.” Fried has argued the legislature should take on matters, like affordable housing and school funding reform, that affect his residents. The number of dogs in a town isn’t one of those matters, he said. “Really, should I care how many dogs you have?” Fried said. “As long as you aren’t bothering your neighbors, why does it matter if you have one dog or two? But I still have to tell the state we have 1,000 dogs in the town. Next will be cats. And maybe we’ll do birds.” While Fried has directed his frustration at the whole practice of counting dogs, officials in other towns have taken issue with aspects of the dog census. The municipal government in Hamilton used to hire special animal control officers to canvass the township’s 40 squaremiles. But township officials found they couldn’t complete a full census by September, when the state requires counts to be submitted. It became an exercise in frustration. So, Hamilton did away with the dog census. The township hasn’t completed one in about 15 years, township health director Jeff Plunkett said. “It’s really ineffective,” Plunkett said. “We would get through a whole year and still not have the whole town covered. Then, we’d have to start over.” Hamilton meets the law’s requirements in other ways. The township animal control officer investigates every dog bite reported, as well as any tips he receives about potentially unlicensed dogs. The township reminds residents to renew their dogs’ licenses every year. And animal control officers always keep an eye out for dogs without licenses. Nearly every other town in the area follows similar protocol. Bordentown City also encourages its residents to use the free rabies clinic, and to license their dogs early. Enforcement falls to

the city’s animal control officer, Peter Sedor. Bordentown is smaller and more densely populated than most municipalities in New Jersey, which means Sedor can easily walk the city and enforce dog licensing laws. He doesn’t conduct a formal census, but Sedor said he’ll check any dog he passes to ensure it has a license. Bordentown City has 200 dogs registered. “And that’s not all of them,” Sedor said. The knowledge there are unlicensed dogs lurking has kept municipalities like Hopewell Township committed to canvassing. In many ways, Hopewell is a reformed version of some of its neighboring towns—officials used to hire college students to go door-todoor but found canvassing burdensome, and eliminated it in the 1980s. But then, the number of licensed dogs plummeted from 2,000 to less than 1,400. The municipal health office reinstated the canvass, and the license numbers returned to their former levels. Hopewell health official Gary Guarino said canvassing occurs in the summer, in the more densely populated areas of the township. Officials will knock on the front door, and if no one’s home, put a hanging tag on the door knob to notify people the township had been there. Animal control officers and neighbor reports also contribute to Hopewell Township’s dog licensing efforts. Hopewell Township also requires residents to license their cats. There are 700 cats licensed in the township, but Guarino said national statistics show that towns usually have more cats than dogs. Because Hopewell’s numbers don’t reflect this, Guarino has considered counting cats, too. But it is difficult to enforce cat licensing because it is “harder to knock on a door and hear a cat bark.” In Princeton, animal control officer Mark Johnson goes door-to-door during the day or on weekends. He said he usually catches 500-600 unlicensed dogs by canvassing, and even more people register their pets voluntarily once word gets out Johnson has started his annual check. Still, Johnson acknowledged there’s a debate surrounding the dog census’ usefulness. He guessed “99.9 percent” of all dogs he

crosses have been immunized. And the Centers for Disease Control hasn’t seen a instance of the canine strain of rabies in a decade; it’s now transmitted to dogs and people mainly by raccoons and other wildlife. So, if canine rabies has vanished and nearly all dogs are vaccinated, why continue the census? One longtime Mercer County health official, who requested anonymity, said the primary reason for the census is to generate revenues from licensing fees. Sure enough, the state makes no secret of this, attempting

Ewing

to sway opponents by promoting the dog census as an easy way for towns to make money. “Effective enforcement of the state dog licensing laws results in additional income into municipalities to be used for animal control and rabies control activities,” reads the state government’s dog census instruction form. “Conducting a canvass to identify unlicensed dogs is considered to be a cost-effective activity by municipal governments.” All this is despite the fact many towns have turned against the census because offi-

cials have found it to not be cost effective. So, the day may come where some municipal officials decide the cost of counting dogs outweighs all the benefits. Surely, the penalty for violating the state dog census law will sway them back into compliance, right? Well, no. State law compels municipalities to conduct the dog census, as well as to send monthly dog license reports to the state Department of Health. But the state does little with the data, said Daniel Emmer, communications manager for the Department of

Health. The information is used mostly by the municipalities, and all actions related to dog canvassing occur at the local level. Furthermore, the state can do nothing should a municipality decide not to obey the law. There is no penalty provision written into the statute. In other words, the entity that passed the dog census law has no way to enforce it. So it seems municipalities are left to their own judgment. The dog census law has no bite.

New Jersey Renaissance Faire actors Diana Brown and Chris Miller get into character at Liberty Lake in Bordentown, where the event will begin May 31. FAIRE continued from Page 1 is family-friendly and the directors run a substantial educational outreach program. They will even host three school days where the fair is open exclusively to children. One feature of the New Jersey Renaissance Faire is that each year it has a different plot that manifests itself in different shows throughout the day, including the opening court, the human chess match, the final joust and the day’s end show. The plot always revolves around someone who has a dilemma that they have come to Crossford to solve. In this year’s plot, Shakespeare has writer’s block and his characters have escaped his brain and come to life. Therefore, patrons will be able to meet Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Othello and Iago, Hamlet, Oberon, Titania and Puck in addition to the usual historical figures and fictional villagers wandering around the fair. The New Jersey Renaissance Faire has always has two casts: a principal cast of 20 professional actors and a volunteer supporting cast of 50. Although principal cast members have more scripted lines and appear in more staged shows than members of the supporting cast, they participate in interactive theatre with patrons as well. One of this year’s principal cast members is Ariel de Ment, who will be playing Lady Macbeth. De Ment lives in New York City where she specializes in stage fighting and stunt work. DeMent said that because of the contact with patrons, creating a character for a renaissance fair is a different process than creating a character for stage. “Even when the fair starts,” she said, “You really can’t make a character concrete because it’s so interactive—you never know what’s going to happen.” In contrast to de Ment’s professional credentials, Dawn Brook revealed that she hasn’t acted since her kindergarten performance of the Wizard of Oz. Brook, a new member of this year’s supporting cast, is a 36-year-old stay-at-home

mom from Ewing. She has three sons, the oldest of whom is on the autism spectrum. “I think I was just born in the wrong century,” said Brook on her decision to audition for the fair. Her interest in the Renaissance began when she was in sixth grade and a group came to her school portraying alchemists, jesters and princesses. She loved it and decided she wanted to become involved in something similar. “I’ve been looking for a group to join for about 10 years,” she said. Before joining the cast of the New Jersey Renaissance Faire, Brook participated in the Society for Creative Anachronism, a group that attempts to recreate medieval Europe. However, she was unsatisfied because she found that the group was more about demonstration than participation. “They just wanted to put on a show and leave,” she said. However, with the New Jersey Renaissance Faire, she has finally found a group that is a comfortable fit. At the fair, Brook will be playing Julianna Flax, a troublemaking flax spinner who lives on a farm with a brother and two sisters. According to Brook, the directors only tell cast members the name of the character they will be playing and give them a list of 100 questions to answer. Using the questions as a guide, the cast members flesh out their characters throughout the 10-week rehearsal period. So far, Brook has been enjoying her experience with the fair. “The rehearsals are really fun and upbeat,” she said. “Everybody gets along great.” Another member of the supporting cast is Hamilton’s Chris Miller, who is returning to the fair for his second year. Miller, a 58-yearold software engineer at Lockheed Martin, is married with three children ranging from 16 to 24. Miller started taking his daughters to renaissance fairs when they were young. He has always enjoyed acting and did commu-


nity theatre when he was young. He loved that renaissance fairs gave him the opportunity to dress up in costumes and participate in improvisational scenes with the characters. He was so enthusiastic that he was even mistaken for a cast member on a few occasions. “I’m just that sort of character,” he said. A few years ago, Miller got into a conversation with a character at the New Jersey Renaissance Faire. It turned out to be one of the fair’s directors who asked him, “Why don’t you come and actually join the family?” The next January, Miller auditioned for the fair and was offered a position in the supporting cast. This year, he will be playing Dr. Tobias Connington, who he described as “an unrepentant con man.” He is also a member of a men’s singing group called the Knaves. Last year, Miller played Dr. John Dee, a real person who lived during the Renaissance period and created one of the first libraries in Europe. “I had to do heavy research on him because people who go to renaissance fairs expect to meet him,” he said. This year’s character allows Miller more creativity, but he’ll still be reading up on cons and crime and punishment during the Renaissance in order to craft his character. “If you see Dr. Tobias Connington, put a hand on your purse. That way he knows where it is,” joked Miller. Diana Brown of Hamilton is also a member of the supporting cast. She works at Whole Foods and, along with her husband, runs a cat shelter out of her house. Although Brown is new to the New Jersey Renaissance Faire, she has been cast in various fairs since 1999, including the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire and the nowdefunct New Jersey Renaissance Festival and Kingdom. Brown, 42, has been interested in renaissance fairs since she saw television commercials for one as a child, but her mother never wanted to take her.

She finally began attending fairs in 1989 when she was in college, and she instantly felt at home. She even met her husband at a renaissance fair. “He was playing a king and I was playing a peasant,” Brown recalled. “He thought it was hilarious how I would roll on the ground groveling before royalty.” At this fair, Brown will be playing Sylvia Seedmore, a local vegetable farmer. She said that she likes to “become obsessed with whatever job my character has,” which this year means becoming obsessed with vegetables. For example, she plans on looking of the rules for the lawn bowling game bocce, setting it up at the fair for people to play and calling it “cabbocce.” Brown thinks that one of the best parts of the fair is interacting with the patrons. “Kids get excited to talk to a lady in a really pretty dress or a knight,” she said. Brook, Miller and Brown all emphasized that the atmosphere of the fair is friendly and welcoming. “When I went to other fairs, people didn’t come up and say, ‘Hey did you want to see the Shakespeare show?’ At the New Jersey Renaissance Faire, you get greeted at the gate and there is nonstop energy from there,” Brook said. They also all related that the cast members tend to get very close. “The cast really does become a big extended family,” said Brown. Miller observed that before joining the fair’s cast, he had never had so many friends who would come over and help him out at the drop of a hat. He said of the cast, “We have a capacity not just for fun, but for joy, and we want to share that.” The New Jersey Renaissance Faire will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., rain or shine, on May 31, June 1, June 7 and June 8 at Liberty Lake Day Camp located at 1195 Florence Columbus Road, Bordentown.

Volunteers graduate from CERT Seventeen local residents graduates from the Community Emergency Response Team training program April 12. Each year, the county trains new volunteer CERT members through an intensive program designed to teach superlative communication skills as well as proficiency with a variety of emergency management and rescue equipment. In years past, CERT members have assisted County Emergency Management personnel and law enforcement officers with operations such as flood remediation and search/rescue missions. Volunteers assisted with the emergency response to the devastating explosion and fire in the South Fork neighborhood in Ewing last month, and in late 2012 proved invaluable during Superstorm Sandy, where they assisted in emergency operations for the duration of the event, which lasted more than a week. Mercer County offers the course through a partnership with Mercer County Community College and Mercer County Office of

Emergency Management. With this new influx of graduates, the number of CERT members across the county, including the municipal CERTs, totals more than 400. Graduates are Asma Taqi (Bordentown); Kathi Loftin, Susan McCormack, Tony Spagnolia (Ewing); Henry Adams Jr., Brian Angelucci, Marjorie Burke-McCann, Andrew Hager, Stephen Vetrano (Hamilton); Michael Coco (Hopewell Township); Michael Caddell (Plainsboro); Penelope Chambers, David Sayen (Princeton); JoAnn Baier, Joseph Whitty (Robbinsville); Stanley DeGroote and Judy Gorberg (West Windsor). The concept of CERT was developed and implemented by the Los Angeles City Fire Department in 1985. CERT members in Mercer County receive nine classroom training sessions followed by a final day of practical training at the Dempster Fire Training Academy in Lawrence. Tuition and supplies are provided through the State and County Homeland Security Grant programs.

OCEAN SPRAY continued from Page 1 offs over the next six or so months.” The 63-acre Bordentown property became an Ocean Spray facility in 1943 and is the oldest in the Ocean Spray network. It runs six production lines and produces 32 million cases of juice a year. Ocean Spray opted to build its brand new facility in Upper Macungie instead of renovating the Bordentown plant. Even before production begins to wind down in Bordentown, city officials have already been planning ahead for the impending move. One of the main ways the move will affect the city immediately is water usage, said Bordentown City deputy mayor Jim Lynch. The Ocean Spray plant currently uses about 100 gallons of water a day. To prepare, the city looked at how the water and sewer usage would be affected and last year introduced modest water and sewer rate increases. City mayor Joe Malone said water use would affect the city initially, but he felt confident that within a year or two, “water flows and sewer flows that were coming out of Ocean Spray will be absorbed by other users,” noting the ongoing development of the Waterfront Transit Village and plans for a warehouse construction on Hedding Road in Bordentown Township. But what’s most important, Lynch said, is that the property is not left empty for any longer than it needs to be; filling the space as soon as possible is imperative. “We don’t want to see that property languish for any period of time,” Lynch said. “We would like to do our due diligence, especially with the economy hopefully turning around.” Ocean Spray owns the property, so city officials must work along with Ocean Spray during the marketing and sale of the prop-

erty to a potential new tenant. “We’re trying to work with them and come up with a reasonable plan as to what we’d like to see go into the property, and how we’d like to see it transitioned,” Malone said. “It really will take an effort between Ocean Spray and the city to come up with alternatives for the city use for the property.” Malone said the planning board is looking to get a grant that will allow a complete study of how the property might best be utilized, restructured and rezoned, and Malone himself has been in touch with the lieutenant governor’s office about potential business incentives and retention programs. There are many potential options for how the property could be used, ranging from multipurpose commercial and residential to exclusively commercial, even considering possibilities like a small brewery relocating there. Many of those options will be fleshed out as the city and Ocean Spray consider the assets already located on the property, Malone said. More recent additions like the warehouse facility added in the ’80s may be attractive to some tenants, while the pretreatment plant may still be utilized if another production company were to fill the space. Also important to Malone is filling the void of lost jobs that will move away with the opening of the new plant. But one thing he stressed is that although Ocean Spray’s move is a major event, the city will be able to bounce back and potentially even be better off than before. He compared the move to the concern residents felt when the Bordentown Military Institute closed in the ’70s, and how the city “weathered the storm.” “We absorbed a facility that had probably a third of the town in some way, shape or form occupied by their facility, and you wouldn’t even know where it is now,” Malone said.

One year later, Ward reflects on positive changes

WWW.DOWNTOWNBORDENTOWN.COM

By Carrie Ward and Sarah McEwan In February 2013, Bordentown resident Carrie Ward competed in the World National Powerlifting Federation Lifetime All Raw National Tournament of Champions and earned second place just one day after finding out she might have cancer. When Ward’s diagnosis was confirmed, she entered a six-week aggressive treatment plan with daily doses of chemotherapy and radiation to treat Stage 3B colorectal cancer. In May 2013, the Bordentown Current featured a story about Ward, owner of Shock It Fitness in Bordentown, and her journey of navigating her diagnosis and continuing her training. The following is a submission from Ward detailing her progress over the last year. Even if I had all the money in the world, I would still jump out of bed every Monday morning when the alarm goes off at 3:45 a.m. to train my Fit Crew (what Shock It Fitness calls its members). I am the happiest when I see each and every one of them succeed, become more positive, and in turn, stronger—not only physically, but more important, mentally. I believe that if we had more people feeling this way about themselves, not only could we wipe out obesity and disease, but people would be less stressed and more productive. The world would be a better place. When your job is where you aspire to be your best, and that job is also your passion and purpose, you will find endless energy and true happiness. I truly love what I do and the people I work with. I told my son a year ago that I had a new competition that I was training for—the cancer—and that I was going to win. I kept that promise. Training physically helped me win the toughest battle of my life. Not once did I ever let my guard down, feel sorry for myself or let any negative talk enter my head. I faced my fears; I was in it to win it. I used the physical strength and mental fortitude I developed in training to attack this disease and treatment. In September 2013, I was declared cancer-free. My next challenge was to expand my mission to challenge individuals on all levels to reach their fitness potential. My path is clear, I want to help people, I want to inspire people to find their greatness, I want to make an impact. For the past two years, Shock It Fitness had been offering personal group training to clients out of the Carslake Community Center in Bordentown. I felt challenged by the restrictions of the space and wanted to be able to have a place to offer her clients access to weights, more equipment as well as expanded classes like Freestyle Yoga and Fusion Pilates. I learned that everything happens for a reason when I met Stephanie Bellanova, coowner of ERA Central Realty Group, in 2013. Stephanie was training for the Tough Mudder, and I began training her a week before I began aggressive daily radiation and chemotherapy treatments. After Stephanie achieved her goal, she

Carrie Ward (right) and her son Zach stand in Ward’s new space for her business, Shock It Fitness. Ward was diagnosed with cancer last year. wanted to share Shock It Fitness with her company. The fact that ERA happened to have the available space, and Shock It Fitness needed a new home, made it a perfect match. Now, Shock It Fitness is located in the ERA Central Realty Group building at 3379 Route 206 South in Bordentown. The new space includes a small group fitness room and a gym for one-on-one and small group personal training. Shock It Fitness is known for offering its Fit Crew training that is more personal than can be found in traditional fitness centers. In line with this, class size is limited so they can ensure individual attention for maximum results and injury prevention. The new location also features an expanded schedule and wider variety of classes, from Strength & Metabolic Conditioning to Kickboxing, Yoga and Pilates. A free class is offered to any first-timers who want to experience the difference small group personal training can make as well as a free 30-minute Personal Training consultation. What I offer here is the anti-gym. You will come in here and get it done in a 45 minutes rather than waste time and money on a gym membership that isn’t effective. You walk in here and you get results and will reach your goals physically and personally. While I’ve had roadblocks to continue in my own powerlifting training, I’m currently focused on training women who are interested in competing and passing on my knowledge to them. I’m currently not training for a competition, but am training others and growing my business. I’ll be competing in the World’s before I decide to hang up my weight belt. I made a promise to my son that I would win this fight. My son, my family, my Fit Crew and my clients kept me going through

the cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery. I had an army of people who got me through the hardest time in my life and now it’s time to pay it forward. On the Web: shockitfitness.com or search Shock It Fitness on Facebook.

Bordentown Braces helping to show patients’ confident smiles If you’ve always been happy with your smile, count yourself lucky. Not everybody gets to have that. And when you’re a kid and already feeling self-conscious and shy, it’s a lot worse when you don’t like what you see when you smile. This is what compels Yana Newman to do what she does. As a board-certified orthodontist and owner of Bordentown Braces, Newman knows the power of a confident smile. Newman often starts seeing kids when they are between the ages of 8–12. “They feel awkward, they don’t smile,” she said. “But when we take their braces off, they’re just beaming.” Newman started as an orthodontist in 2001, working with Nancy McNamara for about a year until McNamara retired. Newman bought the business because “I wanted a small practice and I wanted to know my patients,” she said. Over the past decade, Newman has built a practice that concentrates on making patients feel less like a number. “You get to know the families and the patients,” she said. “We’re small enough that

I can call the parents back.” Another point of pride for the six-person office (one orthodontist, two at the front desk, and three assistants), is that Newman insists on keeping appointments. She doesn’t follow the time-honored doctor tradition of setting an appointment for noon and strolling in at 12:30-ish. “If our patients are waiting 10 minutes, we’re having a bad day,” she said. “We’re very prompt, we like to respect everybody’s time.” In addition to its office on Crosswicks Road, Bordentown Braces recently opened a second office in Cream Ridge. Both offices feature free consultations, estimates and time frames for treatment. By the way, Newman doesn’t just see kids. Plenty of adults come to her with a need to straighten out their smiles. It’s the adults, in fact, who most appreciate the advances in orthodontics, which set a smile straight a lot faster (and a lot more discretely) than in the old days when metal and wires were the norm. InvisAlign and InvisAlign Teen, systems that keep braces discretely hidden, have been favorites for years, but Newman said

she is also incorporating the Propel Orthodontic system. Propel, she said, can set teeth a lot faster—about 50 percent faster— than standard braces. It’s not all about the smiles either, Newman said. Straighter teeth are stronger, easier to clean, and chew food better. “Straighter teeth are better for your health,” she said. But the smiles help. “We have a lot of fun,” Newman said of the practice. “And I love it. When someone is proud of their smile it makes such a difference in how they feel about themselves. This is a happy place.” Bordentown Braces is located at 231 Crosswicks Road, Suite 9, in Bordentown. Office hours are Tuesdays from 8:30 a.m.–5 p.m.; Wednesdays from 11 a.m.–6 p.m.; Thursdays from 2 p.m.–7 p.m.; and Fridays from 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Summer hours, which begin in midJune, are Tuesdays from 8:30 a.m.–5 p.m.; Wednesdays from 10 a.m.–5 p.m.; Thursdays from 11 a.m.–6 p.m. and Fridays from 9 a.m.–1:30 p.m. Phone: (609) 291-8555.

Bonaparte Antiques presenting new take on old favorites By Lisa Zola-Delibero When Julia Ciarrocca and her husband Paul saw the building that was for sale at 375 Farnsworth Ave., the couple decided to buy it and renovate it. In January, they opened an antique shop in it. “We both love antiques,” Julia Ciarrocca said. “Paul and I would always go antiquing in New Hope, so we toyed with the idea of having a shop here in Bordentown.” A graduate of Georgian Court college with a master’s degree in school psychology, Ciarrocca decided that she wanted to do something that would allow her to be home with her daughters Luna, 5, and Soleil, 3. Ciarrocca said her husband Paul, a Bordentown native, has been a huge part of the opening of the shop. “He is the buyer of the antiques, and he is also heavily involved in the store,” she said. “He is full of good ideas and has a savvy business sense.” Paul Ciarrocca has already done plenty of work around Bordentown City fixing up houses and buildings for his fire restoration business. Through the business, he gets many architectural articles

A carousel horse is a featured item at Bonaparte Antiques. that he has salvaged, restores and will eventually sell at the shop. Bonaparte Antiques was named after the insurance agency owned by Paul’s father, Gene, to pay homage to him due to his passing a little over a year before the store’s opening. The shop features a number of eclectic items, like the two paper mache trapeze artists from the Atlantic City Steel Pier that are in “beautiful” condition, Delft and Wedgwood China, duck decoys, cigar presses, Lenox, old-fash-

ioned toys, wall hanging instruments, dolls, hat forms for making hats, and even a carousel horse from an estate in Princeton. Adding to the ambiance of art and culture in the cozy storefront, Martha Press, who previously operated Farnsworth Gallery, uses a section of the store to display and sell pieces of artwork and jewelry. “I have been a gallery owner for 15 years,” Press said. “Paul and Julia created this opportunity for me here at the store, and it has

been a perfect match for all of us. We have a wonderful clientele, and many have become our friends.” Ciarrocca and Press get a lot of regulars who come into the store, and always find something to buy, take home, and add to their collections. One of the services that will be added at the location is a Visitors Center. “When people get off the highway, and they come this way, we are the first place that they see,” Press said. “People will stop in and ask for directions, and just want information about the town, and locations of certain businesses. So we are going to make this an official visitors spot.” In addition to the antiques and art gallery, there is a section of the store that sells pieces by Don Stein, who is known to many as the “Minister of the Woods.” Repurposing, reclaiming, and renewing old or raw wood, and artfully turning it into something make Stein’s pieces sustainable for folks to use and enjoy. Ciarrocca hopes the store is something that she and her husband can build on. “I absolutely love what I do,” Ciarrocca said. “I want to keep it fun, relaxing and enjoyable. We

always want to have something here for everyone. We also want antique and art lovers to know that everything that is sold here is very reasonably priced.” She noted several plans in the works for the shop, too. “We are also spending lots of time thinking of new and exciting things for our customers,” she said. Among those potential plans aree a flea market one Saturday each month behind the building, and small group clubs for people to meet. Ciarrocca hopes to help everyone to get ready for springtime, with flowers for sale in front of the store, and taking part in the Iris Festival on May 10. And for customers who love their vegetables, Ciarrocca also hoped to have Jersey tomatoes for sale. Press believes that Julia and Paul “make a great team,” and that this is just the beginning of a wonderful experience for everyone involved.

Antiques, consignment store offers quality odd-ball items By Lisa Zola-Delibero For those who love antiquing, it’s tough to find an unused EKG machine from the 1940s and a Soapbox Derby car in pristine condition from the 1950s. But for customers who walk through the doors of New Jersey Antiques and Consignments, an entire world of antiques awaits, ranging from bizarre to beautiful. “My wife Arlene and I have always liked antiques,” said store owner and Ewing native Jim Walsh. “I grew up antiquing with my parents, Nicholas and Mary. I saw that there was nothing in the area except for thrift shops and consignment stores. So we decided to open the store to sell items that people may have never seen before, and that are in clean, not chipped or broken, and meticulous shape.” Walsh was a mechanic for 25 years and a graduate of Notre Dame High School, where his two children, Jessica and Nicholas, currently attend school. The decision to open the store last Aug. 1, he said, was one he made based on his love of old things that can’t be found in many

antique shops. “One of the items that we sell in the store is a photo from the 1800s of a child in a coffin,” Walsh said. “Back then there were very few photos taken of children, if any, because it was so expensive. So it was a luxury to be able to have photos taken of your kids. The photo that we have here of this child in a coffin is taken at the funeral. The shoes that she is wearing are her father’s because like photos, shoes and clothing were very expensive, too.” Walsh, who also owns a commercial cleaning company, has a number of clothing items, like minks, and fox furs that date back to the 1920s. “We have articles of women’s vintage clothing that were custom made many years ago that we sell and actually rent out to photographers,” Walsh said. “We even have items like an unused lizard-skin purse in the original box, and a large display of 10, 14, and 18 carat gold antique jewelry.” The store, located at 662 Route 206 S. in Bordentown, has an incredible collection of vintage Christmas items and huge posters, like the Ringling Brothers and Bar-

Right next to this, is a Hover Craft lawnmower from 1979 that was used only once, and still works. For the right customer, this is an amazing find.” Walsh emphasizes the fact that everything in his store has no dust, no dirt, and works. “We don’t sell anything that doesn’t work,” he said. “If there

is something that you are looking for, and we don’t have it, customers can write their names, contact info, and what they are looking for in a notebook on a podium in the front of the store.” Then, Walsh will let customers know when he finds what they are looking for. “We like to keep all of our items displayed in a way that they can really look at all of the detail in each item,” Walsh said. “We don’t want displays to look cluttered. Customers can actually make a day of coming to the store and browsing.” The shop is open daily, and Walsh said that the busiest days are Saturdays and Sundays. In addition to selling antiques, Walsh’s store also buys antiques and precious metals, such as gold and silver. “If someone has something unique to sell, we buy it,” he said. “I bought this 1940s Royal Crown slot machine by answering an ad that I saw. The machine takes dimes, and is original and unfinished. And it still works.” For more information, contact Jim and Arlene Walsh at (609) 379-6246, or email newjerseyantiques@yahoo.com.

SPORTS

Volleyball newcomer quickly earning regional recognition By Mary Ann Tarr Volleyball was first created as an alternative to basketball. For SalliAnne Napolitano, volleyball not only replaced basketball but also nudged out another major activity in the Bordentown Regional High School freshman’s life. “We actually had a close family friend who was involved and she started seeing potential in me,” Napolitano said. “I fell in love with it. It’s a very fun sport. There’s always action going on. It’s a very nice, friendly team sport. There’s a lot of cheering and a lot of positive energy.” Before Napolitano shifted her interest to volleyball at age 12, she played basketball and soccer, the latter sport holding some extra significance for the Napolitano family. Napolitano’s father, Art, is a former area standout who played six seasons of professional soccer. A former all-state soccer player at nearby Steinert High School, Art went on to excel in college and beyond in the sport he loves the most. He also was an allstate baseball player in high school, and he has also found success in tennis and golf. Meanwhile, Napolitano’s mom, Joan,

SalliAnne Napolitano competes indoors in Raleigh, N.C., in early March 2014. graduated from another Hamilton Township school—Nottingham High—where she was a cheerleader. She also excelled as a dancer and swimmer in non-school related activities. Napolitano credits family friend and for-

mer West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North student-athlete Julia Wainwright for her start in volleyball. Wainwright recently completed her sophomore season of volleyball at McDaniel College.

Napolitano hopes to follow her friend into playing the sport at the collegiate level, but for the next few years she’ll travel all around the United States to play in leagues and tournaments in both indoor and beach volleyball. “The skills are similar, but it’s a really different environment,” she said, referring to beach volleyball, which she plays from approximately April through September, and indoor volleyball, which is from November to May, “and with beach you have to adjust to the sand.” She currently plays indoor ball for a competitive club in King of Prussia, Pa., called East Coast Power, on their “15 True” team. This season, which started in January, her team has competed in many local tournaments as well as traveling to Hampton, Va., Raleigh, N.C., Indianapolis and Philadelphia, and will be going to Chicago on Memorial Day weekend. Some of the tournaments are National Qualifiers but, in general, those with the best competition are all in other states. Volleyball in the Northeast is growing by leaps and bounds but still lags behind other regions. It’s not a sport offered at many area high schools, including Napolitano’s own.

But she and her family have made the adjustment changing from the soccer and basketball circuit to the competitive volleyball scene—and it has been an education for all of them. The Napolitanos make family trips to the places where Napolitano will compete, including a recent getaway to Fort Lauderdale to compete at the international level on Garden Empire Region’s High Performance team. Every year hundreds of girls from the NJ/NY region try out for the 10 spots available and the opportunity to travel to compete at the USA Volleyball High Performance National Championships against teams from every region in the U.S., plus teams from Brazil, Dominican Republic, New Zealand, Puerto Rico and more. Soon, Napolitano is set to start training in the sand for the summer season. She will practice with East Coast Beach Volleyball Academy and will also help coach the youngest group of girls, whom she hopes will end up loving the sport as much as she does. In addition, she has been invited to train locally with an “elite” group of girls once a week and will compete regularly on weekends at Great American Volleyball tournaments held on various beaches in New Jersey. In May, she will be in Rehoboth Beach, Del., attending tryouts for the USA Volleyball High Performance Sand team and in June will be traveling to Pompano Beach for an invitation only event—the 4th annual BeachDig College Sand Volleyball Recruiting Camp—where she hopes to catch the eye of college coaches in attendance. College sand volleyball is considered an “emerging sport” now and has just this year fulfilled the 40 colleges required to be a fully sanctioned Division 1 NCAA sport. And as the sport gains popularity, players have many more options at their disposal. “You can go as far as the Olympics or you can stop at the club season at (age) 18 or you can stop in college,” Napolitano said. “There are endless possibilities.” Local volleyball guru Mike Vajo, who coaches Napolitano in sand volleyball and helps her train indoors during the off season, also notes the continuing growth of the sport. “USA Volleyball has historically been one of the strongest teams in every gender and discipline in volleyball during the Olympics (indoor and ‘sand’),” he pointed out.

“Nearly every Division I college across the country has women’s volleyball, including Rider, Princeton and Rutgers locally. Sand volleyball has been added as an NCAA sport for girls and is now in the third year of competition.” Vajo is a volunteer assistant coach with the Princeton men’s volleyball team. He has also played for various clubs over the past 20 years, including several beach volleyball competitions. Vajo also coached at The College of New Jersey with the men’s club team, and he has also coached several adult club teams as well. He is also the director of East Coast Beach Volleyball Academy, a juniors program in the Princeton area. According to Vajo, in addition to West Windsor-Plainsboro North and South, other area high schools that offer the sport or plan to offer it include Princeton, Montgomery, Hopewell Valley and Notre Dame. Still, it is dwarfed by the major sports at the high school level. “It’s not very big here—it’s big in North Jersey,” Napolitano said. Those who promote soccer, basketball and other sports have learned that you have to start with the youngsters. Volleyball’s proponents also know the drill. “We have an indoor youth program based out of Mercer County called ‘West Windsor Volleyball Club’ which offers girls programs from ages 8-18 and boys 14-18,” Vajo said. As for Napolitano, her own background in sports certainly helped. “The first year I got into it I just played and as I went through a season I tended to pick up on it a lot easier,” she said. “Once I realized I enjoyed it so much I started getting more training and getting involved in more competitive teams. “Right now, I’m pretty good at my spiking and my hitting and I’m trying to gain my ball control for passing … basically I’m trying to improve on everything since I’m kind of new to the sport.” Volleyball has been an exciting and fun journey for the honors-level student at BRHS. “I just knew that I really wanted to do it and I really loved it,” she said. She is quick to credit her parents, who dove head first into a new sport for their daughter. “They really understand,” Napolitano said. “Especially my dad because he knows what it’s like to really love a sport.”

Senior Walters bests school baseball record of 100 hits By Ken Weingartner If there was one thing that interested Tommy Walters when he joined Bordentown High’s baseball team four years ago as a freshman, it was hitting 101. That’s not a course, as in Hitting 101, but the minimum number of hits Walters hoped to accumulate during his career with the Scotties. And when the senior collected No. 101 with a 3-for-4 performance on April 14, he moved into a class by himself as Bordentown’s all-time leader in the category. “It means a lot,” said Walters, who entered this season with 95 hits and a career .413 batting average. “It’s something I’ve been chasing after since my freshman year. I came in knowing the record was 100, so it was the goal I set my freshman year.” Walters started playing baseball when he was about 6 years old, although for a while it wasn’t his favorite sport. He also plays football, but with a listed height of 5-foot-6 and weight of 150 pounds, he eventually began to concentrate on life on the diamond. “I used to like football a lot better, but I never grew really,” Walters said, laughing. “So I started focusing on baseball more. I just like being out here and having fun. I like the weather a lot, too.” Walters batted .500 in 25 at-bats as a freshman, .416 as a sophomore and .363 as a junior. He entered this year with 68 runs scored, 47 stolen bases and 38 RBI.

Tommy Walters broke the school record for career hits with his 101st on April 14, 2014. (Photo by Albert Rende.) His speed is helpful at the plate and on the base paths, as well as defensively in centerfield. “I’m real quick and I always run the ball out,” Walters said. “Whenever I hit a ball on the ground I know I’ve got a shot at beating it out. In the outfield, I’m just good at tracking the ball down. I see the ball real well.” Walters’ intensity and enthusiasm also are

Potts off to good start on the mound By Mary Ann Tarr It’s always a good sign when your name and the word “masterful” are used in the same sentence. Just ask Tommy Potts of Bordentown. Potts, a senior right-hander recently hurled a perfect game for 6 2/3 innings on his way to eight innings of two-hit ball as the Rutgers University-Camden baseball team defeated Penn State-Brandywine, 9-0, in a non-conference game. Potts, the former Bordentown Regional High School standout, was masterful for the second straight start as he raised his record to 2-0 and extended his scoreless streak to 16 innings to start the season. He allowed just two singles, didn’t walk a batter and struck out 10. A team captain, Potts had a perfect game going until Brandywine sophomore third baseman Tom Osenbach ripped a single to center with two outs in the seventh inning. The only other Brandywine hit was a single by sophomore leftfielder Dan McMenamin, who immediately was caught off first base on a relay throw after rounding the bag too far. As he helped the Scarlet Raptors improve to 8-4-1 with their third straight win, Potts faced only one batter over the minimum in his eight scoreless innings. Potts, who pitched a four-hit shutout in a 10-0, eight-inning win over Alfred State in his first outing of the year March 19, raised his career strikeouts to 137, tying Bob Diepold (1999-2001) for 10th on the program’s career list. The victory was Potts’ ninth of his Raptor career. He is on his way to earning his fourth varsity letter at Rutgers-Camden. Another BRHS graduate with a familiar name is participating in the Scarlet Raptors’ athletic program. Allyson Potts is a freshman infielder/pitcher with the Rutgers-Camden softball team.
