Girls’ day out

Many New Jersey voting machines are stuck in the past By ROB ANThes

In 2004, Hopewell resident Stephanie Harris went to her polling place for the presidential primary, never expecting what was about to happen would alter her life and the public discourse around voter security for the next decade and a half. When Harris entered the privacy booth that day, she saw one of Mercer County’s then-new touchscreen voting machines facing her, a model called the Sequoia AVC Advantage. She found her candidate of choice on the large paper ballot overlay, pressed the box next to the candidate’s name and then hit a large button at the bottom right of the machine to cast her vote. Typically, at this point, the AVC Advantage will make a noise to indicate a vote has been counted. For Harris, nothing happened. Harris exited the privacy booth slightly confused. A poll worker stopped her, and said her vote didn’t register and that she should try again. Harris did, four times with the same results. After the fi fth time, the poll worker shrugged, and said, “Well, I think it worked.” Harris never received definitive confirmation her vote had been cast. To this day, she doesn’t know whether the machine recorded her vote. Harris couldn’t shake the feeling that her vote had been taken away. She asked the county for confirmation or at least an explanation. She didn’t get answers, but she did earn a new nickname, courtesy of a county freeholder— “the Incident in Hopewell.” See VOTING, Page 10

Harnessing her power

Bordentown grad trains harness horses By Rich FisheR

Miriam Kraemer has crammed a lot of living into 27 years but she seems to have finally found the life she wants to lead. A horse lover since the time she opened her eyes, the 2011 Bordentown Regional High School graduate has become a harness racing trainer for the United States Trotting Association and, in late September, earned her first two professional training victories at Free-

hold Raceway. “It’s going for me now,” Kraemer said. “I’m trying to get all the loose ends together. I own half of two horses and would like to buy one or two more if possible. I don’t have a bank load of money but we’re getting there.” How she got there is a story of tenaciousness, perseverance and good ol’ fashion hard work. In harness racing, a strong race is referred to as a “good trip.” Kraemer’s quest can safely be termed an interesting trip, but also a good one the way it has worked out. She was born in Sweden to Dave and Malin Kraemer, who were both in the harness racing

business. They moved to the U.S. when Miriam was 2 and set up shop at The Meadowlands, which is the U.S. mecca for the sport. The Kraemers didn’t just work there, they lived there. That’s where it gets interesting. “I was smuggled into a tack room at the Meadowlands for a couple years,” Kraemer said. “My parents were stabled right at the track. I had me a daytime babysitter and everything.” The catch was, infants were not actually allowed to live in a tack room, and yet Malin noted, “we had two— a living room and a kitchen.” The parents were tipped off about room See KRAEMER, Page 8

Plans to redevelop Bordentown City’s Ocean Spray plant site are in motion, nearly five years after the property was first sold. The plant, which closed in August 2014, was purchased by Modern Recycled Spaces later that year. Plans only have started to move forward over the last six months, however, said mayor Jim Lynch. The project is proposed to include 296 loft-style apartments, creative spaces and commercial tenants, including plans for a brewpub or restaurant. Some of the existing structures will be demolished. Early discussions, Lynch said, focused on what form the development should take: commercial, residential or a mix of both. City commissioners and the developer ultimately agreed on a mixed-use facility. “They have a good vision,” Lynch said. “They took inspiration from the old Ocean Spray plant, and they’re trying to replicate it, trying to marry that history right into the new building. That’s what they specialize in—restoring what you have and enhancing it.” The proposed number of residential units has fluctuated over the last year, starting as low as 150 before settling at 296. They will consist of one-, two- and three-bedroom units, See OCEAN SPRAY, Page 7

Edith Goodwin Van Arsdale celebrated her 100th birthday at the Clare Estate with friends and family Sept. 23. She was born in Bordentown, and what is now Hilltop Park was located on her family’s original property. The house on the Hilltop is now an apartment house containing six apartments. Edith and her husband, Marvin, raised their three boys, William, Glenn, and Darryl in the home she was born in. In 1956, Edith began working in the cafeteria at the Clara Barton Elementry School at the rate of $1 per hour. Marvin passed away in 1972, and Edith continued living in the entire downstairs area until she sold the home in 1984. Edith also worked as a cashier in the school cafeteria, and in 1994 she retired from that position. In 2014 at the age of 94, she left her No. 1 Farnsworth Avenue home (the post office changed the address in 2008 to 2 Hilltop St.) and moved to the other end of town The Clare Estate. She can often be seen sitting in the lobby doing her crossword puzzles and being the unofficial greeter. Her apartment looks out onto Crosswicks Street.

Theater students present ‘Freckleface Strawberry’

Bordentown Regional High School’s theater students will present the children’s show Freckleface Strawberry the Musical Saturday, Nov. 23 at 2 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. at the Bordentown Performing Arts Center. Cookies and milk will be served following the 2 p.m. performance. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased in advance at seatyourself.biz/brhs. Tickets will also be sold at the door. This musical is suggested for children ages 4 through 10. Freckleface Strawberry is a fun and touching family musical based on the children’s book by Julianne Moore, with book by Gary Kupper and Rose Caiola and original music and lyrics by Gary Kupper. Freckleface Strawberry will do anything to get rid of her freckles—from scrubbing them with soap to caking on makeup—and even wearing a ski mask to school. Will her schoolmates realize that it’s her under the mask? Will Freckleface be brave enough to finally face her complexion in the mirror? With the help of her loveable schoolmates, including a talented ballerina, a cutie jock, a charming ditz and a totally kooky teacher, Freckleface learns that everyone is different— and that’s what makes everyone special. Featured in the cast are sophomore Gia Scozzaro as Freckleface Strawberry, senior Lucas Bergen as Jake, juniors Meah Jones as Dora and Connor Graham as Lionel; sophomores Ashley Castillo as Jane, Mitchell Reames as Harry, Ella Haulenbeek as Mother, Nicole Schiariti as Emily, Victoria Danao as Gabby, Naomi Pirani as Sarah; and freshmen Jake Sfraga as Danny, Anna Madden as Bal-

Academic Hall of Fame accepting nominations

Each school year, Bordentown Regional High School accepts nominations for induction into the Academic Hall of Fame. The school coordinates this induction with its annual Scholastic Awards Banquet. This year’s banquet is being held on Tuesday May 5, 2020 at BRHS. A committee composed of community members, faculty and administrators reviews nominations and selects the alumni to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Any community member who would like to nominate someone for induction into the Academic Hall of Fame is asked to contact Melissa Guido at Bordentown Regional High School by Friday, January 24, 2020. She can be reached by phone (609-298-0025, extension 1102) or e-mail mguido@bordentown.k12.nj.us. Nominees must have graduated from William MacFarland High School or Bordentown Regional High School and have distinguished themselves in their personal and/or professional life.


OCEAN SPRAY cont. from Page 1 and 28 of those will be affordable units (six one-bedroom, 16 two-bedroom and six three-bedroom). Ideal commercial tenants include a brewery/restaurant, a yoga studio and coworking and office space. Lynch hopes to see farmer’s markets and outdoor events in the future. They will be housed at the former site of the 60,000-sq.-ft. bottling plant. The developers hope to retain the original brick structure, as well as restoring the site’s old tower, Lynch said. After meeting with city groups like the environmental commission and economic development committee, developers presented the plan to the public at a planning board meeting on Oct. 7. Lynch said the meeting was “great”—the board and developer are currently tweaking plans based on what they heard from residents. A new version will be presented at the planning board’s November meeting. “I want to get as much public input on this project as I possibly can so that everyone is aware of it and how it’s going to affect the city,” Lynch said. “This is huge. We’re really excited. This can help turn us toward the next 50 years, a nice element to help our downtown businesses.” Comments from residents have already helped inspire changes to the plan, Lynch said, and the plan that appeared before the planning board and the public in October will be different than what is presented at this month’s meeting. One of the top concerns, for example, was how the redevelopment would handle open space on the property.

A rendering of what the proposed Cranberr y Park could look like from above. Modern Recycled Spaces will redevelop the old Ocean Spray site once the plan is approved. Originally proposed were two “cranberry bogs”—what Lynch said were essentially water features—in front of the property. They reexamined the ponds, focusing on problems they could cause— flooding, mosquitoes, cost of upkeep— and scrapped them in favor of reconfiguring the buildings to create more open space. Overall, Lynch believes that the “environmentally sensitive” areas on the property will be treated with care. Many other concerns focused on

parking. The minimum requirement within the development is 141 spaces, and the plan currently calls for 238. The city hopes to avoid street parking because of traffic and speeding motorists on Park Street. The next step, Lynch said, is to work with Burlington County to construct a “Gateway to Bordentown,” which he hopes will make it easier to reach downtown Bordentown City by foot from Park Street. The county, he said, is on board with solutions

like closely monitoring speeding and building trails for bikers and walkers behind and in front of the property. “We’re really excited about it,” Lynch said. It’s a good fit for a one-sq.-mile town. I think we can handle the volume. Our population was around 5,000, years ago. Now we’re at 4,000. It won’t be a burden. I think it will be a serious shot in the arm for our downtown businesses. Without those businesses, we don’t have what we need to be a viable town.”

“My husband’s personality was reflected in everything from his clothing to the artwork on his bike. When he died unexpectedly, our funeral director helped plan a celebration that symbolized just who Dan was. Family, friends and even the community

participated in a meaningful tribute and procession highlighted by hundreds of bikes. It was a day dedicated to Dan. For me, it was an event that brought comfort during tragedy. Our funeral director knew exactly what we needed.”

KRAEMER cont. from Page 1 checks in time to hide Miriam’s toys and keep her concealed. After two years, the family moved to Hedding and worked on Magical Acres Farm, where Kraemer took great joy in riding a tractor around the track for hours. It was on to Bordentown at age 5. Miriam attended Peter Muschal Elementary School until second grade finished out elementary school at Clara Barton. She attended MacFarland middle school in 7th grade, moved to Southampton for a year, then returned to Bordentown in time for ninth grade. In a hurry to finish schooling, Kraemer replaced lunch period and study hall with classwork so she could graduate in January of her senior year. “I was rushing out of there, but I kind of regret it now,” she said with a laugh. Miriam did not play sports at BRHS but would help Malin out at her stables. She would bring her friends to her mom’s barn to see the horses. “They all loved it,” she said. “They all had their favorite horses.” So did Miriam, but following her parents into the business wasn’t on the radar just yet. So she did what a lot of young kids do—made some money working what she called “some normal jobs” while figuring things out. “I worked at the Chesterfield General Store for over two years,” Kraemer said. “I worked the deli and did barn work in the morning. I met a lot of awesome people working there. My favorite customer was Russ. He was an older man, maybe in his mid-80s, but he come in like a spring chicken and would dance around if the right tune was on. He always made me smile.” From there she worked the graveyard shift stocking shelves at a Five Below, which “was not for me at all.” That was followed by a stint at Shaun Neiderman’s Bordentown Auto Service. “I actually learned some handy things working there,” Kraemer said. “They helped me, and I helped them work on my Durango.” But working the pits at the Indianapolis 500 was not really a career goal and Kraemer eventually decided to go with what she loved. She hooked up with successful trainer Abe Stoltzfus and traveled around New York helping him with five sire-staked horses. When Stoltzfus went to Florida, Kraemer worked some nearby paddocks while dabbling in more odd jobs. By then she had met trainer Trish Coyle, who talked Miriam into working for her boss, Nick Surick. That lasted from August to November in 2015. “I just needed a mental break, so I left,” Kraemer said. “He is a good guy but like everyone, he has his moments and I had mine. We bumped heads a few times and I figured time apart was best for everyone. We still talk and are currently partners on a horse.” In 2017, wanting to “get away from some issues in my life” Miriam moved to western New York, where she tried more normal jobs “but I was itching for horses.” Thus, she drove three hours round-trip three days per week to work

Miriam Kraemer with her horse, Barefoot Bluejeans. in catch paddocks. While there, Kraemer met Buffalo native Dave Weston at a track and the two began dating. Weston suffered a broken wrist and was unable to work, so the couple returned to New Jersey “where I knew we could make money until he healed up.” Since then, Weston has been Kraemer’s top supporter. The next stop was breaking baby horses for trainers Taylor Gower and James Craparotta, who were so impressed by Miriam they said if she could get a horse of her own they would help her out with the training. By then she had met standardbred owner Andrew Shetler—who owns a construction company and some oil rigs—on Facebook, and he sent her a 3-year-old trotter, Havree Degrace. Things did not go well with the horse, who “had some issues.” But Kraemer had done enough good things that Shetler urged her to get her training license and make a go of it. “I’ve been kind of been following her the last five years and the trainers she worked for,” Shetler said. “It seemed like wherever she went, that’s where the horses went and that’s where they win. She has great dedication. Most of all she’s willing to listen. She’s a trainer who’s willing to put her hands on the horses to work with them and try to help them. “She would always respond to messages from me, either late at night or early in the morning. Being a business owner in three multi-million dollar businesses, nothing means more to a guy like me than when somebody responds to a message no matter what time it is. That’s all I need to know, that she’s a dedicated person and puts her hands directly on what she’s doing. And I really like the people from Sweden in the horse business. They put a lot of effort into what they do.” Shetland’s words hit home, and this past May, Miriam finally procured her trainer’s license.


“He had told me so many times that I was good at what I did and I put a lot of effort in,” Kraemer said. “He had a lot of faith in me. That helped having more than just my boyfriend behind me to kind of give me that push. My parents were real proud too.” Not to mention, her paycheck needed a boost. “I guess I got tired of assisting everybody else making money and I wanted a piece of the pie for myself,” Kraemer said. “And I had some good horses that kind of made me push toward it. So it just sort of happened and grew on me.” Miriam used her hard-earned money to purchase half of two horses—Barefoot Bluejeans and Sir Richie. She purchased Barefoot Bluejeans from Lee Dahn, a trainer in Batavia, NY and one of Weston’s best friends. On Sep. 21, Bluejeans was driven to victory by Pat Berry, who is not only Kraemer’s regular driver, but somewhat of a cheerleader. “He wasn’t doing so hot up in Batavia,” she said. “We bought him, brought him down here, gave him a shot. I didn’t really think he was gonna win and Pat’s like ‘You’re nuts, you can’t doubt yourself.’ He went out and won and I was really happy with him. He’s just an easy keeper. We don’t do much with him.” In giving Miriam her first victory, the horse won by five lengths and as he crossed the line, she said, “I kind of wanted to cry, like a happy cry.” A week later, the horse won again. And while Weston helped Kraemer

with Bluejeans before the first victor y, she was on her leading up to the second. “I was the only one who sat behind him all week and it was a good feeling,” Kraemer said. “He called me after the race and he’s like ‘How’s it feel, knowing that win was all you?’” One woman not surprised by Kraemer’s success is Hannah Miller, the daughter of Erv Miller—one of harness racing’s top trainers—and the sister of successful driver Marcus Miller. Hannah has made a name for herself as a trainer and driver and in 2015 became the first woman to ever win the United States Harness Writers Association’s National Amateur Driver of the Year Award. Miller and Kraemer met when Miriam was working with Nick Surick, and an immediate friendship was struck as Hannah was impressed by Kraemer’s work ethic. When she gave her acceptance speech for winning driver of the year, Miriam was one of the first she thanked. “She’s helped me a lot in my career, she took care of my trotters for me when I was with Nick,” Miller said. “She helped out a ton, she hustles constantly.

I barely met anybody in the industry that works as hard as she does. I’ve raced so many different tracks and traveled a lot and she went a lot of places with me without hesitation to help me out. She does an excellent job.” In fact, Miller tried encouraging Kraemer to become a trainer before Shetland. “I had mentioned it back then,” Hannah said. “She’d be in the barn grooming, but then she’d also go out on the track and jog. I’m said ‘Let’s try some new things and train them, and possibly consider getting your training license.’ She knows everything in the barn. It’s just getting her to that next step.” Now that she has arrived, Kraemer plans on taking things slowly. She is hoping to purchase several more horses, but is not looking to become the sports next female superstar trainer. “I don’t want the pressure of being a (USTA Hall of Famer) Linda Toscano or anything like that,” she said. “Right now I’m comfortable with what I’m doing. Me as one person, I can only handle so much. I don’t have the funds to hire 10 people. I’m just giving it a shot.” Miller feels that is the right way to go. “Building slowly is the most organic,

best way to begin,” she said. “She doesn’t want to be too overwhelmed. It’s a lot of pressure really, I know from my own family, how much pressure there is. But I do think she’ll go far because she does have the work ethic that it takes and she’s very personable, she’ll talk to anybody, and that definitely matters.” Miriam currently lives in Jackson, but visits home whenever possible as her mom and younger brother still live in Bordentown. No matter what kind of success she goes on to have in the highly competitive business she has chosen, Kraemer will always have a lifeline to her hometown. She recalls with joy how “from ages 12 to 16 we got in a little harmless trouble.” She tries to visit Chickie ‘N Pete’s because her good friend Erin Wyers works there, “and because of the crab bruschetta,” and also noted, “I love the Hob for more reasons than one. Now it’s unfortunately more of a sentimental place and with the right people around, such as Adam Weederhorn, I may even shed a tear. “One thing that I will never forget – and that’s why I might cry at the hob -- is a cheers my angel (the late) Jason Cassidy would always say. ‘There are good ships, there are wood ships, there are ships that sail the sea, but the best ships are friendships and may they always be.’ I cherish the friendships I have made in this little town called home.” Just as the shakers and movers of harness racing have started to cherish her involvement in the sport.

VOTING cont. from Page 1 So she sued. Filed October 2004 in Mercer County Superior Court against the State of New Jersey, the case alleged that direct-recording electronic (DRE) voting machines like the Sequoia AVC Advantage are insecure, unreliable and impossible to audit or otherwise double check. The legal process lasted 14 years and through the administrations of three governors. “It just dragged on and on,” Harris said. Eventually, a team of experts convinced the court that New Jersey’s DRE voting machines were in fact vulnerable and insecure. They showed the machines could be hacked, often in less than 10 minutes and at little expense. And, since DREs do not produce a paper trail or any kind of auditable material, the experts proved this hacking could be done without evidence anything criminal ever had occurred. New Jersey remains one of a small minority of states still using DREs. Just 11 states use paperless machines as their primary voting equipment in at least some counties. When New Jersey voters go to the polls Nov. 5, however, most of them, including voters in Burlington County, will be using the same type of machine Harris did 15 years ago. On Election Day 2019, the 2020 presidential primaries in New Jersey will be just seven months away. Some counties will be introducing new machines this November. Others, such as Middlesex County, will have them for 2020. But not everyone is on the same page. Security experts agree this is a problem, since systems older than a decade are more likely to have security and reliability issues. This past summer, the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence released a report on the Russian government’s attacks on American’s election infrastructure. The report said there was an urgent need to secure America’s voting machines. It recommended states replace outdated and vulnerable machines with, at least, a voter-verified paper trail and to begin conducting statistically sound audits. But in many New Jersey counties, that won’t happen. “It’s our feeling that the 2020 election will be one of the most important of our lifetimes, and New Jersey will be voting on a very, very vulnerable system,” said Harris, who now serves as chair of the Coalition for Peace Action’s voting integrity taskforce. “The whole thing is extremely frustrating.” *** For the opponents of DREs, the lack of progress especially frustrates because the machine’s security issues have been well known for more than a decade. Harris’s case was instrumental in rooting out those issues. The Rutgers team employed a number of expert witnesses who devised simple ways to hack the voting machines used in New Jersey. One expert, Dr. Roger Johnston, discovered a hack of the Sequoia AVC Advantage through its front panel. Johnston at the time worked for Argonne National Laboratory, assessing threats to the United States’ national security. He concluded that New Jersey elections could be manipulated without accessing any computer chip or processor, and that any

voter could execute the hack. Another expert, Dr. Andrew Appel of Princeton University, didn’t even need time with the machine or experience in voting security to know the AVC Advantage presented issues. He wrote his 2004 testimony simply using basic computer science principles, information anyone who had taken even one computer science class would know. He later devised a hack of the AVC Advantage that took just seven minutes to complete. It gained him national notice. The only tools Appel needed for his hack were a screwdriver and a $4 chip with a cheating program installed. Once installed, the new chip will cause the machine to switch votes from one candidate to another until either the machine or the chip is replaced. “You have to pick the lock,” Appel said. “You can pick that lock in 15 seconds, even if you have no skill in lock picking at all. Then you have to unscrew 10 screws. You have to pry out the chip, put in a new chip. Most of the seven minutes is unscrewing screws and putting them back in.” In other words, could anyone alone with a DRE voting machine for a short amount of time influence elections for at least a decade? “Yeah, they’re the worst,” Appel said. Appel first became interested in election security in the early 2000s. States had begun switching to DREs in the aftermath of the 2000 presidential election, which thanks to “hanging chads” had shattered faith in the punchcard ballots then-popular across the country. Appel knew that DREs weren’t much better. “As a computer scientist, I understand that whoever gets to install the program in the voting machine gets to decide how it’s going to add up its results,” Appel said. “If the legitimate program installed by the manufacturer is in there, it’s usually pretty accurate in interpreting the buttons people pressed on the touchscreen. But if a hacker gets to install the program, it’s very easy to write a program that just shifts 20 percent of the votes from one candidate to another. It’s very easy to make that program do that only on Election Day so it can’t be tested before Election Day. And it’s possible to do it only when 100 voters have voted so any test you do, even with 10 or 20 votes, won’t detect it.” Appel further proved just how insecure the entire system is in 2007, when he managed to buy five AVC Advantage machines on the internet from Buncombe County, North Carolina. It cost him $82. *** Stephanie Harris isn’t the only one to have an issue with the AVC Advantage. In February 2008, at least 37 AVC Advantage machines malfunctioned in eight New Jersey counties during the presidential primary, according to court documents. The malfunction allowed voters to cast votes in the primary for a party other than their own, namely Democrats attempting to write-in “Hillary Clinton” in the Republican primary. Mercer County clerk Paula Sollami-Covello inspected reports of results from voting machines, and noticed erroneous results that disagreed with the results recorded on the machines’ cartridges. On 30 machines in Mercer County, there were more votes


than voters. Sollami-Covello testified that she attempted to contact state officials about the error, and never received a response. She also said she contacted the manufacturer, whose only response was a press release trying to explain what caused the error. “Election officials across the country have been pretty good in understanding the science and moving towards better technology,” Appel said. “Just in a few backwards states—South Carolina, Louisiana, New Jersey—they’re falling behind.” *** If the state and county governments in New Jersey have known for years that DREs have issues, then why do we still have the same machines? It’s not for lack of trying, as both levels of government have taken measures to improve or move beyond DREs. But, ultimately, each winds up looking to the other to take the final action. The state’s efforts started just months after Harris’ case was filed. In March 2005, four assemblymen—including Gusciora and fellow Democrat Herb Conaway, who represents portions of Burlington and Camden counties—introduced Assembly Bill 33. The bill would require all voting machines in New Jersey produce a voter-verified paper record by January 2008. It passed in both houses and became law just months later. But the law ran into problems soon thereafter. Nearly all the compliance efforts were focused on retrofitting the existing DREs with a printer of some sort, not forcing counties to replace their fleets of mostly new machines. In 2006, the appellate division of New Jersey Superior Court ordered an emergency trial, which found that although technology existed that could retrofit a voting machine to produce a paper trail, it was not compatible with the kind of machine used in New Jersey. This meant the state could not meet the 2008 deadline set by the legislature. The legislature extended the paper trail deadline three times, until it finally removed the deadline component of the legislation in 2009, saying the technology would be mandatory as soon as funds became available. In a statement dated Jan. 26, 2009, the Assembly’s state government committee wrote that the suspension had to be done due to the state’s precarious finances. The state anticipated a $2.1-billion budget gap in 2009, with an even larger one in 2010. “Although $19 million in state funds had been set aside to help pay the costs of retrofitting the direct recording electronic voting machines used in 18 of the state’s 21 counties, this money is no longer available for that purpose,” the statement said. “The funds have been placed in reserve to help the state meeting its urgent fiscal obligations and balance its budgets.” The legislature approved the removal of the deadline by wide margins.For Gusciora, it was another roadblock for

his efforts to improve New Jersey’s election security. But he doesn’t regret the time he spent on it, saying the 2016 presidential election proved his measures are more important than ever. “My own computer at home is subject to interference with cookies and viruses,” Gusciora said. “I don’t think electronic voting is any different.” At the same time, the legislature seemed to acknowledge it had the right idea in 2005. It never removed the paper ballot requirement, and in 2008, it strengthened the state’s stance further by passing a new law requiring a recount by hand of a statistically valid sample of paper ballots after every election. The only problem is, without enforcing the 2005 law, there never has been anything to audit. “We have two good laws on the books,” Harris said. “Neither of them work because they’re still waiting for funding. You have this terrible situation, and no one’s doing anything about it.” In 2010, the trial court in the Gusciora/Harris case issued an opinion where it admitted New Jersey’s voting machines were not secure. But it did not order counties to buy new equipment, instead opting to secure the existing DRE machines in a number of ways, including placing tamperevident seals on all machines and revoking internet access for any computer used for election-related activities. Within a year, Appel had figured out ways to break the seals without evidence, and published a paper about it. Opponents of DREs say the only way to truly secure New Jersey’s elections is with new technology. “With the state budget, what we’re talking about is such a small percentage, like one percent,” Harris said. “Is it worth it to protect our democracy?” *** A bill that could take care of the problem has been idle in the New Jersey state legislature for more than a year. A group of four sponsors introduced the “New Jersey Elections Security Act” in May 2018. (Democrat Andrew Zwicker, who represents portions of Hunterdon, Mercer and Middlesex counties, was one of them.) A few weeks later, in June 2018, the Senate received a companion bill, with two primary sponsors and Linda Greenstein (D-Mercer/Middlesex) co-sponsoring. The Senate bill has sat in the State Government, Wagering, Tourism and Historic Preservation Committee ever since. The bill would establish a demonstration program in New Jersey that would eventually transition the state to a paper ballot voting system using optical scanners in each election. The program would start by providing new optical scan machines to three counties for the first general election following the bill’s approval. The secretary of state would select one county each in the Northern, Central and Southern parts of the state. The program would then add six counties every year over the next three years, See VOTING, Page 12

Smires celebrates one year in Bordentown

(Photo By Suzette J. Lucas.) This month marks the one-year anniversary of the Bordentown office of Smires & Associates Real Estate, something that Jim Traynham, broker of record at the office, finds it hard to believe. “A lot has happened over the past year,” he notes. “We had to find the space, get the staff, and then, we just kept growing: Our contact list for the office is constantly getting updated.” Now with more than a billion dollars in sales to date and projected sales of over $160 million for 2019, the company is ranked in the top 10 in production among roughly 500 offices in Mercer and Burlington County. It all began when Ed Smires decided to start his own real estate company in Robbinsville 10 years ago, “at that time, with just seven agents,” remembers Bordentown office manager and broker Kevin Kerins. “Now we have about 68 agents in Robbinsville and 29 in Bordentown.” Why did the team decide to open their second office in Bordentown? Traynham recalls, “Kevin and I both live there, we do business there. It’s a place we both love, and we also wanted to move a little bit south to a market we are familiar with that we could grow. It was a no-brainer.” Kerins and Traynham attribute the success to a number of things. Kerins remembers., “I was with Ed at the beginning, when he first decided to open his own office. I was excited about his vision. From training to accessibility of management, we really excel. Our agents know they can call me, Jim or Ed at any time and we’re here to support them. Our support staff is second to none. And when it comes to technology, we have invested in marketing resources to keep up with trends and analytics, but we blend those new school technologies with an old school, blue- collar work ethic. You still need someone to let you into the house and take

you through the process. You still have to have that human touch.” Traynham agrees. “I love Ed’s handson approach. He is out there on the streets, he understands what’s going on with the clients. He is always around and available with advice, he’s often the first to go on a listings appointment with a new agent, or one who is showing something outside their comfort level. He is involved in the day-to-day with what agents face.” Smires is also somewhat particular during the recruitment process. “We don’t just hire anyone,” he says. “We really want people who care. We are exceptionally big on training. I think one reason why our offices are so successful is we have brand new agents who come to us and we show them the way, and then help support and build their business. In terms of type of real estate, the company sells about 85 percent residential and the rest commercial, but “We are growing more and more on the commercial end,” notes Smires. “And we sell everything from a $10,000 house to a $2 million dollar one. I am not driven by money or success: I am driven by excelling. It’s doing the right thing that’s important to me.” Traynham remembers something his teacher said when he was going to real estate school in Freehold. “My instructor asked me who I was going to work for. When I told him Ed Smires, Gene said, ‘In a downturn market, Ed had the foresight and vision to open his own business and put his name on the door. Not anyone could do that.’ That was always very impactful to me.” Smires sums it up nicely: “If you walk into the Robbinsville office, you wouldn’t know I was the owner. I sit at a desk just like all the other agents. Our whole attitude is to create a sound foundation, work in a motivating atmosphere and have fun.”

Transfer Hoenisch already impacting Irish soccer By Rich Fisher In his first eight games with the Notre Dame High boys’ soccer team, Aiden Hoenisch collected five goals and three assists, and that didn’t begin to tell the story of his impact. After sitting out the required 30 days/10 games once he transferred from Bordentown, the sophomore became eligible on Oct. 1 and the Irish extended a three-game winning streak into 11 straight entering the Oct. 24 Mercer County Tournament championship game against Pennington. Notre Dame already had talented scorers such as Giuliano Silva, Chris O’Neill and Danny Bensch. But when Hoenisch came on board, they became even more dangerous. “Oh yeah,” O’Neill said. “We’d be on the wing and me and Danny would end up just being man marked, but Hoenisch just opens it up so that they have to mark us all, and they can’t all mark us at the same time.” Hoenisch began to heat up in the MCT with three goals and an assist in the first three games. Even before that, however, first-year coach Dan Donigan praised Hoenisch’s on-field efforts

after he could only practice through September. “He’s definitely made an impact just by being out there and working and defending and making runs down the flanks and just creating problems for the opposing defenders,” Donigan said prior to the MCT. “He gives us another weapon in the attack, which relieves pressure from the other guys. We really can attack teams from all over the field. It’s a great luxury as a coach to have that many kids that can hurt you.” What really impressed Donigan is that Hoenisch was able to gain esteem from the veteran players just by what he did in practice and preseason scrimmages. “As a young player and a new player it’s hard to transition into a new team and a new school,” the coach said. “He’s taken really well to the players on the team. He’s gained the respect and appreciation from the players very quickly. “It’s hard to make an impact and an impression without having the ability to play in games. He’s always one of the first ones into training and one of the last ones to leave. He’s an incredibly hard worker, he’s a tremendous athlete, he’s got tremendous pace, tremendous speed. While he was serving his 30

Notre Dame boys’ soccer player Aiden Hoenisch has collected five goals and three assists this year. days, guys were anxious for his return because they knew he was gonna give us another dimension to our attack.” Hoenisch had never sat the bench in his life, so having to watch from the sidelines wasn’t easy for those first 10 games. But he watched, learned, and anticipated the day he would be part of

it all. “It’s definitely tough not being able to be on the field and help the team,” Hoenisch said. “But I knew that my time would come and it was only a matter of time before I would be able to support the kids and be out there. “I feel I bring extra to the team but I also know that I haven’t reached my full potential yet. I know I’m capable of much more but it’s giving chances to Chris and Danny and Giuliano so I know I’m doing my job. Practicing with them definitely helped with my chemistry with the other guys. The practices really helped building bonds.” Hoenisch bonded with soccer at an early age, as he began playing in Bordentown rec at age 4 on Friendship fields. The sport was in his blood, as his dad Joe played for Hamilton High West and his mom, the former Kelly Lacour, played for Bordentown. “My dad wanted to take me out to the soccer fields when I was little and had free time,” Hoenisch said. “He tried to coach me after every game, telling me what I did good and what I did bad. He was always there supporting me.” Joe was an assistant coach on Hoenisch’s Bordentown travel teams until

age 11. From there he moved to the GAK in Hamilton and joined Donigan’s Hibernian PDA group at age 13. Hoenisch made the Bordentown varsity as a freshman and collected three goals and six assists. “I was confident in my abilities last year,” he said. “I knew as long as I played my best and worked hard, I would get my fair share of minutes.” Unfortunately for the Scotties, he was planning on transferring after the school year. When Donigan, the former University of St. Louis and Rutgers coach, was named the head man at Notre Dame last March, it was pretty much a no-brainer for the midfielder/forward. “Knowing Dan would be the coach really helped my decision,” Hoenisch said. “I really wanted to further my career with him. He understands the game, he obviously played soccer his whole life. We play similar positions, I played on his PDA team and he’d always coach me to get the best out me.” While transferring can sometimes be an acrimonious situation leading to bitterness, Scotties coach Jason Zablow was classy in how he handled things. “Zablow was really cool about it, he was supportive,” Hoenisch said. “Zablow’s a good guy.” Donigan was thrilled to get his new player, who impressed him during club soccer. “I had the top team in the ’04 age group (in PDA), and as soon as I saw him I wanted him because I thought he had some great traits as a player,” Donigan said. “He’s never missed a beat

since.” Asked to assess his young star, the coach reeled off a laundry list of superlatives. “He’s a great athlete,” Donigan said. “He’s got great speed, great pace. He’s technical, he works incredibly hard. Those traits right there alone tell you he’s gonna make an impact on the field.” Not to mention, Hoenisch has a natural instinct for the sport. “He’s just got a very solid skill set for the game of soccer and he is gonna be very impactful to any team,” Donigan continued. “You take any type of team, any style of team out there, he’s gonna fit in because of what he brings to the table with his work ethic, his speed and his soccer IQ. He’s got a tremendous soccer IQ as well.” O’Neill was quickly impressed by his new teammate. “He’s just been that dynamic player,” the senior said. “He can use his left, he can use his right. Honestly, being a sophomore he’s way better than I would have ever expected coming in. He’s got a wicked shot on both feet. He passes, he shoots.” Hoenisch is quick to point out that joining a team of 16 seniors has helped his game as much as he has helped theirs. “It’s definitely an experience playing with this bunch of kids,” he said. “This senior class has really stepped up. Just to join a team when it’s already successful and being able to help them out has been fun.” Not to mention impactful.

What’s scarier than a lung screening? Telling your loved ones that you should have gotten one sooner. Screening for early detection of lung cancer can give you — and your family — peace of mind. We understand – if you’ve been smoking a pack of cigarettes a day for the past 20 to 30 years, getting your lungs checked is a scary proposition. But we also know that if you choose to get a low-dose CT scan to detect the early stages of lung cancer, it could increase your chances of a positive outcome by at least 20% over chest x-rays. So you’re less likely to give your friends and family the worst news of all. An experienced Lung Nurse Navigator will be with you and your loved ones every step of the way to help, no matter what services you choose. If you qualify, the screening is covered by Medicare and most insurances. Call 609-584-2826 or visit rwjbh.org/hamiltonlungscreening
