Family night out

Steinert High student represents New Jersey at Boys Nation in D.C.

By micheLe aLPeRin

By siDDhaRth mUchhaL In a time of ever-increasing political polarization, two Mercer County high school rising seniors had the opportunity to experience first-hand the power of positive politics and government in uniting people with different backgrounds and perspectives. Ashwin Bindra of West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North and Joseph Stilwell of Steinert High School were both selected for Boys State and then elected as the two New Jersey senators to Boys Nation, which gave them the opportunity to practice drafting legislation, make speeches, run for elections, and find ways to make government work for all. Boys State and Boys Nation are summer programs sponsored by the American Legion for high school students (there are also Girls State/Nation programs). The programs offers students the opportunity to participate in simulations of city, county, state and federal government. Students are divided into two fictional political parties—the Federalists and Nationalists. Over the course of a week, they compete in elections and explore policy issues See NATION, Page 10

The power of a pact Doctors to present story of their path from troubled youth to successful physicians By micheLe aLPeRin Three teenagers from the most devastated neighborhoods in 1980s Newark, Rameck Hunt, George Jenkins, and Sampson Davis met at University High School, a magnet school, and while juniors in high school made a mutual pact that would change their lives.

Through that mutual support, all three made it through Seton Hall University’s Pre Medicine/Pre Dental program and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. The three doctors are coming to Hamilton Saturday, Sept. 15 to share their story at an event called Mentor Day, where students from grades 6 to 12 and their parents will get to hear from the doctors about the challenges they faced and how they overcame them. The students will also work with mentors from the community while their parents go to “Ed Camp” to learn about what they can do

to help their children succeed. “We are hoping it offers them that window into something they don’t ordinarily see in their everyday lives—a career path, a schooling path—seeing things outside the scope of their normal existence,” said Heather Lieberman, one of several members of the Hamilton Township Board of Education’s District and Community Relations Committee who spearheaded Mentor Day. The event takes place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for mentors, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for students and parents, at Crockett Middle School. The organizing committee See DOCTORS, Page 12

On July 23, around 7 a.m., Tika Justice’s 20-year-old daughter heard a strange noise that caused her to leave her house on Broad Street in Hamilton. Justice, 38, and her 16-yearold daughter did not. And so, as the structure collapsed around them, Justice did what any parent would do—she shielded her daughter from the danger. Justice died in the house collapse trying to protect her young daughter, who suffered damage to her pelvis. Pastor Joseph Woods of Saint Phillips Baptist Church, who with Mayor Kelly Yaede, the John O. Wilson Neighborhood Service Center and the Hamilton firefighters, has rallied the community to provide clothing and financial support to help the sisters who have lost their mother and all their material possessions in the tragedy. “They are there supporting each other but it is an overwhelming experience to have the tragedy of losing your home and your mother the same day and now having to live life with no home, no mother, and their father died when they were very young,” Woods says. The day after the tragedy, 10 minutes after his arrival at his church, Woods heard a knock on his door. It was Yaede. The two had worked together previSee COLLAPSE, Page 14

NATION continued from Page 1 through debates and seminars. During the Boys State program, two representatives from each state are selected to go to Washington to participate in Boys Nation. Bindra, 17 and a resident of West Windsor, found a passion for exploring political processes based on the lack of faith in the current system. “A lot of people think that their voices aren’t being justly heard, and that a lot of politics now is based on corruption where money can buy you votes, which is unfair,” Bindra said. Stilwell, 18 and a resident of Hamilton, also found a frustration with the current political process, especially during the 2016 primaries and general election. “It was a very heated time, and people got a lot more politically active. All the aspects fascinated me, and I realized that good government is about electing people that represent us, help people, and actually do what we tell them to do.” Because of their passion for politics and government, Bindra and Stilwell said they were immediately interested in Boys State. “Some kids do sports, I do politics, so participating in Boys State was a nobrainer. I have a deep interest in U.S. history, and this experience provided an atmosphere to have interesting conversations,” Stilwell added. New Jersey’s 2018 Boys State program, held June 17 to 22 at Rider University, was one of the largest in the country, with around 950 participants. Both Bindra and Stilwell were selected for

exhilarating to run for office, because this was something brand new to me, running across a college campus in a political relay race trying to get votes, and also making friendships and connections,” he said. Ultimately, Stilwell and Bindra decided to run for the Senator position, and worked hard to reach the primaries. “I ran around the Rider campus at 7 a.m. with around 40 other students vying for this position just to even get to the primary debate.

Then, in both the primary and general election, Stilwell and Bindra were able to give strong pitches about their policy positions and why they should be elected, and were finally elected as the New Jersey Senators. Stilwell said he learned about how people with different political stances can still be well-natured and kind to each other. “I found it very fascinating listening to conservatives and liberals debate on stage,” he said. “It was interesting to see Joseph Stilwell, American Legion national commander Denise Rohan both points of view clashing, but at the and Ashwin Bindra visit the Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, end of the day they can shake each othTODAY’S DATE August 15, 2018and become friends, which is er’s hands Virginia, during Boys Nation this past July.

Then, in both the primary and general election, Stilwell and Bindra were able to give strong pitches about their policy positions and were elected as the New Jersey senators to go to the next level. Boys Nation is a simulation of the U.S. Senate made up of the representatives from each of the 49 states that participate in Boys State (Hawaii is currently developing its program). Boys Nation 2018 was held July 20-27 at Marymount University in Arlington, Virginia. Right away, lessons learned at Boys State about befriending people from different backgrounds and perspectives become even more obvious, as students from all across the country started to interact. “You had your New Englanders, your Southerners, and it was really fun to talk with them about normal teenage things, like Star Wars,” Stilwell said. “Especially during Boys Nation, we met people with a wide range of ideologies, people from California who might be a lot more left-leaning than the people from Texas or Ohio. The main thing was that we had to put aside your stereotypes of other states, but also to break down the barrier and work with people to find some middle ground,” Bindra added. For the first few days, students broke off into their respective parties and sections and created party platforms, based on issues such as prison reform, the opioid crisis, and gun control. After creating their platforms, the parties elected different nominees for positions of President, Vice President, President pro tempore, and Secretary of the Senate. Bindra shared his experience in shaping the Nationalist party platform. “A lot of people consider themselves liberal or conservative, but when you’re in fictional parties without set guidelines, you have to come together and make sacrifices to work with people with different opinions. For the Nationalist party, we made a platform that was middle ground. For example, we didn’t go super harsh on gun control, but we also recognized that there has to be some regulation to ensure that the mass shootings that are occurring do not continue,” Bindra said. “It really taught us about trade-off and compromises. We realized that, if we’re able to reach across the aisle, there’s no reason that the politicians in office today shouldn’t be able to do that as well, which is a big lesson that the counselors stressed,” he continued. For Boys Nation, each Senator also had the opportunity to write a bill on a policy issue of their choice and present it to their peers. Bindra wrote legislation about reducing mandatory minimums in prison, which was passed by the Senate and signed into law by the chosen President, and Stilwell proposed a flat-tax bill,

which reached the committee level of discussion. Both said they were pleased to see their ideas spark policy conversation with their peers. Outside of this simulation, the Boys Nation Senators took advantage of their location near Washington D.C. to explore their nation’s capital, a “living, breathing museum,” as Stilwell put it. They took a field trip to the National Mall, and saw the Jefferson and Vietnam Memorial and the Holocaust Museum, among other sites. They also visited the White House and met Vice President Mike Pence. One notable part of their experience was Capitol Hill day, where the young men, along with their counterparts from Girls Nation, had the chance to meet with the actual Senators from their state. Bindra and Stilwell were able to meet with junior Senator Cory Booker briefly, but had the chance to sit down with the legislative staff for senior Senator Robert Menendez to discuss their ideas, and how they related with the work the Senator was doing. “It was really great to see that the senators were already thinking about some of the policies we had come up with and felt strongly about,” Bindra said. Both Bindra and Stilwell cited the last night as the most memorable part of their trip. “We got together in our sections and just talked about our experience,” Bindra said. “It was very emotional, but also very insightful, because we learned a lot about people’s backgrounds that might not have come up in the rest of the week. You go late into the night talking about life stories and how it’s shaped who we are and our perspectives.” “Boys Nation is called ‘A Week That Shapes A Lifetime.’ For everyone in the beginning, that was just a phrase that didn’t really mean anything, but by the end of the week, everyone really felt that it was a week that shaped a lifetime,” Bindra said.

12Hamilton Post | September 2018

DOCTORS continued from Page 1 still are looking for potential local mentors to help with the event. “We are looking for a variety, from teachers to college professors, to tradesmen, to engineers, to people who are working in technology,” Lieberman says. Hamilton Township students can register at the district’s website, hamilton.k12. nj.us, or by emailing mentorday@hamilton.k12.nj.us. Students outside of Hamilton Township, can register by emailing windy@threedoctorsfoundation.com. The doctors will be the stars of the show, though. Davis, now a board certified emergency medicine physician at several emergency departments in New Jersey, grew up in Newark in the 1980s, not too long after the Newark riots. “It was transformed from a place where a lot of people lived to a place where people were exiting; all that was left was high rises, struggles, and challenges,” he says. “All I saw was people on drugs and in poverty; I didn’t feel a sense of value because of what I was surrounded by.” Although Davis says that on some level he had “this sense of a better life,” he realized “that I didn’t know how to get to that other place where I was trying to go.” “I got caught up in a lifestyle, trying to become a young man and doing that without blueprint. My dad was not at home, and I was arrested for robbery at 17 and a half,” Davis says. But the stars were on his side. “I was adjudicated as a youth; it was my very first major offense with the law; and the jail systems were overcrowded,” he says, “so I was able, through sheer luck to get a two-year sentence that was suspended.” “If I was six months older, if I was in any other community besides the inner city, if you were in a suburb, middle America, or rural America, you would go to jail—there’s no probation for robbery. “I’m not excusing it,” Davis says. “I was unaware, impressionable, young, and I made a dumb mistake that almost cost me my life.” But while he was sitting in juvenile detention, he continues, “I just knew pretty confidently this is not the life I wanted.” Looking back on the childhood that led him off the path to a positive future, he says, “I was put in a misguided situation. No child should have to choose between bad and worse; they should have an opportunity to see the good, to understand the possibilities that exist.” Because that opportunity was missing from the lives of the three friends, as first-year residents they decided to start the Three Doctors Foundation to create a platform for reaching out to children who face the same challenges they did and let them know that they too can make it. The absence of mentors in their own lives was another motivation for creating the foundation. “We were trying to figure it out as we went along, trying to step out on faith. We bumped our heads a lot because

we didn’t have guides,” Hunt says. At Mentor Day events elsewhere, kids have responded to the three doctors because they see them as authentic. “I’ve lived the struggles and obstacles they are going through today,” Davis said. “I grew up years before, but the challenges are still the same today: they are still facing financial hardship, academic hardship, community and environmental challenges. I wish all our schools were optimal and functional but that is not the reality; and family structure—it’s great if you have both parents in the home but even then that doesn’t guarantee that the home is functional.” What makes the students accept the doctors as guides, Davis says, is that “we are now currently where they want to be.” And the students can see that “we are able to straddle both worlds—the world we came from and the world we live in.” Hunt, now assistant professor of medicine at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and an internist at the University Medical Center at Princeton, also spent time in legal detention, on a charge of attempted murder. He shares with students why he thinks he ended up in that situation, and how he changed his life when fate set him free. Trying to impress his neighborhood friends, while they were beating up a man they called “a crackhead,” he says, and Hunt took a knife out of his pocket. On the one hand, he didn’t want to stab the fellow, but on the other he didn’t want the other kids to think badly of him, so he decided to poke him, “and poking him with a knife ended me up with a murder charge.” Teenagers are often confronted with split-second decisions like these that can change the trajectory of their lives—unless you’re very, very lucky, like Hunt was. For kids like Hunt, who grew up poor, in a single-parent home in the inner city, these kinds of choices are common, and many end up in prison. Hunt did not. But while sitting in juvenile detention, he thought to himself, “If I get out of this predicament, I am going to get things straight and get my life together.” For him, that meant spending more time with his school friends, Sampson Davis and George Jenkins. “We had just as much fun as with my friends in the neighborhood, with one exception, we didn’t get in trouble,” he says. That realization was for him “the beginning of me maturing and realizing your actions have consequences.” When talking to students, Hunt tells them, “I always knew what the right decision was—you can feel it in your gut, in your heart,” and he urges them to “go with” what their gut tells them. But Hunt also understands the circumstances they live under—because that was the life he lived. Where he grew up, friends meant survival. “When you grow up in areas like I did, it is not like you can pick your friends,” he

‘I made a dumb mistake that almost cost me my life. I just knew this is not the life I wanted.’ –Dr. Sampson Davis on his arrest for robbery as a teen

said. “My friends were people who lived in my neighborhood. You also needed friends for protection; it wouldn’t be safe if you decided not to hang around people.” The story George Jenkins tells is a little different from those of his friends, and the assistant professor of the clinical dentistry section of adult dentistry at Columbia University attributes this in part to his third grade teacher, who “helped me early on to understand that if I wanted to do something, education would be a sure route to go.” “She would talk about how smart we were,” he recalls, and would convince them by giving them challenging work, like doing elementary algebra and reading kids’ Shakespeare. She took them to Broadway plays and then had them perform them at school; and she shared detailed geographical, climate, and other information whenever she traveled. Already “primed to look for my place in the world and not be discouraged by my environment,” he says, in fifth grade he was open to the knowledge shared with him by the resident dentist who worked on him at the New Jersey Dental School. “He would show me his instruments, tell me what he was doing, and tell me about the classification of teeth and the components of teeth. When I would go back, he would quiz me on what we just learned.” For Jenkins, the dentist’s mentoring meant “I want to be like this guy who is engaging me and telling me I’m smart.” Not knowing what it would mean to become a dentist or how much it would cost, Jenkins told anyone who asked that dentistry was his career path. He broached the idea for real when a college recruiter from Seton Hall’s Premedical/Pre-dental Plus Program for economically and academically disadvantaged high school students came to their school to talk about careers in medicine and dentistry. Ironically, the three friends were considering not going to the seminar and instead shooting a few baskets in the gym. But when they nearly got caught, they sneaked over to the seminar. Before hearing out the guy from Seton Hall, Hunt was thinking of becoming a teacher and Davis of going into business, but listening to the recruiter changed Hunt’s mind. “The things the recruiter was saying were just what I wanted to do,” he says. “I wanted to do something to help people; to teach; to have a meaningful job— something I respected and other people respected; to use my brains; and to be able to make a living.” That afternoon the three teenagers spontaneously decided they would go to Seton Hall together and pursue medical careers. “Had we thought about what it would take,” observes Hunt, “we probably would have been discouraged then and there.” Although Jenkins had the same choices as his two friends, he managed to avoid any problems with the law because “I was so clear I wanted to go to college from all that conditioning, and I didn’t want to make it any harder than it was—so I could avoid peer pressure.” But Jenkins faced his own problems along the way. He got serious cold feet between college and dental school, anxious about whether he could handle the next step, and he thought about instead becoming a dental technician. But because Hunt

Rameck Hunt, Sampson Davis and George Jenkins made a pact as students to become doctors. They fulfilled their promise, and now tour the countr y to share their stor y with students as part of their Three Doctors Foundation. The trio will be at Crockett Middle School Saturday, Sept. 15 for Mentor Day. and Davis had been allowed to begin taking medical school courses during their senior year in high school, Jenkins says, “I got to see their successes and that gave me the information to say, ‘I can do it too.’” Hunt recalls his experience of shaky finances in college, where he was on the dean’s list, but couldn’t register for classes and even was “threatened to get kicked out” because he hadn’t paid his tuition. At Mentor Day, the doctors share those experiences, the obstacles they faced, and how they overcame them. One thing they talk about is what it meant to be the first in their immediate families to go to college and about their own “apprehension, insecurity, and uncertainty.” The doctors encourage mentors of different races, genders, ages, and creeds to participate to reflect the diverse workplace the students will enter. And Davis points out that the day not only benefits mentees, but also the mentors who “give back, impart wisdom, and a shape young person’s mind to serve as a catalyst for that young person to become what they want to become.” During the mentoring session, students sit at round tables with mentors from the community. The students may have specific questions or not. Davis said he hopes that “a lot of organic connection will occur” between mentors and students that “will

spark someone regarding career choices, aspirations, or hopes they have never perceived that will be born that day.” The doctors also offer advice specifically to parents, the most important being to “make sure that they are involved— things we may not have had,” Hunt says. This means not only playing a part in their kids’ lives, but in their education. Parents need to be involved all the time— going to PTA meetings, checking homework—“if you only say something when

the report card comes, or not even that,” Hunt says, your child will get the sense that you don’t care about their education. Hunt also tells parents and kids that each individual has different strengths, and “being smart” means knowing what it takes to succeed. Although the doctors have no hard data on their success, Davis cites the experience of a current foundation volunteer, Zayna Allen, now a college graduate, who told him that the mentoring “opened up possibilities in her mind. We allowed her to know her dreams could be turned into a reality.” The foundation now offers a small book scholarship for students who went through Seton Hall’s pre-med program, but they are planning in the next couple of years to establish tuition scholarships. “We call it a ‘pact scholarship,’ where kids make a pact in order to support one another through school; their scholarship will depend on one another so we can foster them supporting one another,” Hunt says. The foundation continues to make a difference in the doctors’ own lives. The foundation, Jenkins says, “is a balancer for me. It puts life into perspective for me when I see the rat race but I have so much going on with trying to improve people’s lives.” Hunt, explaining why he finds giving back so important, says, “The feeling you get when you are giving back and doing something for something like that is priceless, especially when you impact somebody else’s life. People say [to us], ‘I might have been dead, now I’m a lawyer.’ We literally save people’s lives, and that feeling is so rewarding. We really enjoy doing it— it’s not hard work. It’s better than money.”

Tika Justice, center, in an undated photo with her daughters, now 16 and 20. Justice died July 23 when the house she rented on South Broad Street collapsed with her and her younger daughter inside. Officials have not released the names of Justice’s daughters, citing privacy. COLLAPSE continued from Page 1 ously, and she asked for his assistance in developing a plan to help these two girls who now had nothing. By 2:25 p.m., the mayor, along with Saint Phillips and the Wilson Center, sent out a press release announcing a two-week collection drive for shoes, clothes/outfits, undergarments, and gift card donations, with drop-off stations at Wilson during the day and St. Phillips evenings and weekends. When the firefighters, who were separately raising raised funds and collecting clothing for the sisters, realized that Woods was also leading an effort, they coordinated with him and brought their items over to the church. Woods tried that day to reach out to the sisters, but had difficulty connecting. “You can imagine that they were overwhelmed, and I’m sure some of the calls coming into them were not welcome at the time,” Woods says. But soon after, when he was visiting the site of the collapse on Broad Street, a reporter said to him, “You know, that is the oldest girl standing over there.” Woods went over to greet her and offer his support. She gave him permission to visit her

younger sister in the hospital and to pray with her, and he also met their grandmother and other family members and told them to let him know if they needed anything. When they came to pick up clothing and gift cards, they told him they had met with the funeral home to begin planning the service. When Woods learned soon after that Tika Justice was in a temporary job, with no insurance, he realized they had no money to pay for the funeral. “At that time we had 78 large bags of clothing, and made the decision to switch our efforts from clothes to helping the family pay for the funeral,” Woods says. And he told the family, “You don’t need to be stressed over how you can pay for the funeral—I’m going to help.” Woods ascertained the pricing from the funeral home and set a goal of $10,000 to help with all the expenses. He invited Yaede to join him in a press conference on July 30, where they announced a special GoFundMe, managed by Saint Phillips Baptist Church for the funeral expenses, at gofundme.com/ wwj62n-tika-justice-funeral-fund.

August 1, the campaign had generated $15,442.84, and, a week later, the number was at $18,000. After the funeral expenses are paid, the remaining balance will help with any medical bills, housing needs, college aid, and further support needed for the family. Saint Phillips opened its doors for the funeral, at no expense to the family, and Woods led the service. He spoke about the biblical Nehemiah, who returned from Babylonian captivity to the place he considered home, Jerusalem, and found the city in rubble. Despite the devastation around him, Nehemiah went on a campaign to rebuild the city. Applying this story to the sisters, he says, “The girls have to spend the rest of their lives rebuilding from this moment when rubbish became part of their lives.” And his message to them is, “Don’t allow this incident to be the end—you can rise up.” Hamilton High West hosted the repast for the family after the funeral, and members of St. Phillips served the food. Although only two young people at his church knew the sisters, the efforts of Woods and his congregation on the sisters’ behalf is “what we believe the church should be doing,” Woods says. Right now, Woods is trying to find permanent housing for the girls, who are now staying with family and friends of the family. The 20-year-old sister, he says, “is of age to have a place, and she is now sister and mother.” As they reach out to agencies to help meet the sisters’ housing needs and assess what is the best way to support them, Woods says, “We want to set them up for success. They are both at very tender ages, and I’m staying in contact with them and offering them the emotional, spiritual, and financial support they need as they attempt to move past this devastating tragedy.” The 20-year-old is enrolled at William Patterson University. “She is making preparations to continue her education, and we’re working on that to see how that will look,” Woods says.

Woods has challenged his community to continue to help the sisters over the long haul. “You need both God and community,” Woods says. “None of us can rebuild by ourselves. God puts people in their lives: I believe God had Mayor Yaede knock on the my door. The Lord laid upon my heart to respond, and we’ve been engaged ever since.” The generous outreach from the community has meant a lot to the sisters. “The firefighters, who were the first responders, have reached out beyond their call of duty to assist,” Woods says. “And a church, a community you never knew a couple days prior is reaching out to help— black and white.” “The oldest talks about how that has brought hope and encouragement to her and her family— that strangers have responded in such a helpful way,” Woods says. “Especially in a time when things in our nation seem to be so negative, it is good to know there are positive people, and in this sense a positive community, that came together to respond to a family that were just strangers a couple of weeks ago.”

‘Especially in a time when things seem to be so negative, it is good to know there are positive people.’ –Joseph Woods, pastor of Saint Phillips Baptist Church

FEATURED MEMBER OF THE MONTH The Shop Hamilton featured member for this month is Christina Spinelli, Vice President and “MyBanker” at Berkshire Bank. In this role, Spinelli provides a concierge banking service for busy professionals, meaning she will come to your house or office to handle all your banking needs. Other banks may offer similar services, such as investment advising or private banking, but usually only for very wealthy clients and for an extra fee. Berkshire’s “MyBanker” is available for all customers, not just those at the private banking level. MyBanker relationships at Berkshire run the gamut of financial services – offering proactive financial planning guidance as well as offering a hand with courtesy requests, such as ensuring a check clears at a certain time or visiting a customer’s home to help familiarize them with online banking. Spinelli serves as your main point of contact within the bank and facilitates all transactions for you. She can open and manage checking accounts, CD’s, money market accounts, savings accounts, home equity loans and business checking accounts, “Any retail banking product that a person would physically walk into a branch for, I offer the same thing, meaning, I’m sort of like a mobile bank.” Who is an ideal candidate to take advantage of Spinelli and Berkshire’s MyBanker? “I want someone who wants a relationship and is going to grow. Maybe they’re starting out a new business and right now they just need to get their business checking account opened, then down the road they’re going to need loans and more accounts. I’ll be there to guide and assist at every stage, personally handling their account as it grows.” Spinelli understands the importance of building relationships with her customers, which makes this a perfect role for her. “I really enjoy helping people and building relationships. My favorite thing to do is sit down with someone and learn more about them personally and professionally to help them strategize for the future. Just being a sounding board for my customers can be a huge asset to them, in addition to my advice and recommendations. Knowing that I can have a hand in helping people achieve their goals is what makes my role so fulfilling. I love helping people, I love getting to know people and I love working with people.” To set up an appointment with MyBanker Christina Spinelli, you can reach her at 609-503-7275 or via email cspinelli@ berkshirebank.com.

FOOD & DINING

Classico setting new standard for tomato pie USA Today says year-old pizzeria makes best in the state By Joe Emanski jemanski@communitynews.org Fans of Trenton-style tomato pies will always argue about which one is best. Some say it’s DeLorenzo’s Tomato Pies in Robbinsville, while others favor Papa’s, also in Robbinsville, or Palermo’s in Bordentown. (DeLorenzo’s Pizza in Hamilton has plenty of supporters, but most would say they make pizza, not tomato pie, where the mozzarella cheese is on the bottom and the chunky crushed tomatoes are on top.) USA Today recently decided to weigh in on the matter through its affiliate website, 10Best (10best.com). And while they did include those three local favorites on their list of the top 10 tomato pies in New Jersey, none of them managed to earn the top spot. The 10Best editors bestowed that honor upon Classico Tomato Pies, a one-year-old pizzeria in West Windsor. The website’s editors identified two main varieties of tomato pie: Trenton style, and Philadelphia bakery style, in

which a focaccia-like crust is topped with chunky tomato and little or no cheese. They came up with a single top-10 list including both styles. Restaurants on the list beyond the local pizzerias include Krispy Pizza of Old Bridge, Maruca’s Tomato Pies in Seaside Heights, Cacia’s Bakery in four South Jersey locations, Holy Tomato Pies in Blackwood, DeLucia’s in Raritan and Razza in Jersey City. Classico opened last August behind the CVS at the intersection of Southfield Road and Princeton Hightstown Road. The now award-winning restaurant is a dream come true for owners Linda and James Pittari and Steve Cabrera. DeLorenzo’s and Papa’s, of course, have their roots in Trenton, having moved out to the suburbs in recent years. Classico has city roots as well, through pizzaiolo Cabrera, who grew up in South Trenton. The Notre Dame High School grad learned how to make pies at two local pizzerias: Vincent’s in Hamilton, and another which he asks me not to name, but which is regionally known and has also left Trenton for the suburbs in recent years. It was in the time he was making pizzas at the latter restaurant, both in Trenton and Hamilton, that he got to know

James Pittari, Steve Cabrera and Linda Pittari stand in the dining room of their eater y, Classico Tomato Pies. Linda and her son, James, who were frequent customers. Whenever they visited, they would request to have their pie

made by Cabrera. “You could tell the difference if someone else made the pie,” Linda says. “The crust, the taste—his pies stand out.” The Pittaris and Cabrera became friendly, and would talk about someday opening a restaurant together as partners. Linda’s grandfather, Antonio Cirella, had owned a restaurant called Arcadia on 13th Street and First Avenue in Manhattan, but neither she nor James had any experience running a restaurant. She had been an executive with Merrill Lynch, and he was a parish administrator at All Saints Church in Brooklyn. Cabrera left the pizzeria in December 2016, after which the trio took the plunge and started looking for a place to call home. They settled on the location where Il Forno Cafe and Trattoria had recently closed. They designed Classico to be simple, open and airy, with red brick walls and rows of wooden tables. Cabrera has worked at a number of other restaurants as well, including Oliver A Bistro in Bordentown, and says he tried to take the best from every place he’s worked and make it work at Classico. He says he liked working with the pizza ovens at Vincent’s a little more than that other place, because they were

sico also serves a variety of classic Italian dishes, like pasta with vodka sauce ($11.99) and eggplant parmigiana with pasta ($12.99), that use Linda’s grandfather’s recipes. They also serve the kinds of sandwiches and salads one would expect to find in an Italian restaurant in the area. On weekends, they have a chef come in who adds seasonal specials to the menu. For dessert, options include Junior’s cheesecake and ice cream from Arctic and Thomas Sweet. Business was decent at the start, the owners say, picking up once they started delivery service this year, and then again in April after a positive review appeared in the Trenton Times. They’ve also had some success with catering, occasionally closing the restaurant to host a special event for a customer. Linda says that the community has been very supportive of Classico, with many customers having become friends over the past year. As if to illustrate her point, a customer comes into the restaurant during our interview with a tray of cookies and hugs for all three partners. “This was always Steve’s dream,” Linda says. “And James and I, we just always wanted to do a business of our own.

larger. He had brand new ones similar to those installed at Classico and started working on recipes for his dough and his sauce. “I wanted to get it just right because whatever we came up with was what we were going to use forever,” he says. “People want consistency, they don’t want pizza that changes all the time.” People tell him his pies remind them of the ones he used to make at the other place, but he says both the dough and the sauce recipes are his originals. Because the crust is so thin, he says, it’s essential that the dough of each pie is uniform. The goal is to get it so the pie is cooked evenly from center to edge, so there’s no bend in the slices. It is a different art from making other kinds of pizza; Cabrera has worked with staff who have had to relearn the craft despite years of experience as pizzamakers. Linda says Cabrera’s standards are high. “If it doesn’t come out perfect, he will throw it away and start over,” she says. Classico has had basically the same pies on its menu from the beginning. With a significant vegetarian population in the area, they have added a number of vegetable toppings to the menu since opening. Plain tomato pies are popular, but Linda says the margherita pie, topped simply with fresh basil, fresh mozzarella and tomato sauce, is their best seller. A large plain tomato pie is $16; a Sicilian pie is $18, and specialty pies like the margherita or the meat lovers are $23 for a large. Unlike that well known restaurant that Cabrera left behind, Clas-

La Piazza Ristorante

Fine Italian dining with small-town hospitality For those of us that have lived in the Mercer/Monmouth County area, one of the long held traditions of summer is taking a family trip to the Jersey Shore. And for many, getting there often involves driving through the historic town of Allentown, a community nestled near several major highways, including the NJ Turnpike, Route 195 and Route 130. It was one such trip to the shore that gave birth to a treasured landmark in Allentown: La Piazza Ristorante, located in the heart of Allentown at 11 Church St. You see Jerry LoPresti, current owner and proprietor of La Piazza, and his family would often go to vacation in Long Beach Island. On one of those trips, in 1998, his father Nino, owner of Mannino’s Italian restaurant and Pennington Pizza, noticed a forsale sign on the abandoned Hope Fire Company firehouse at 11 Church St. while sitting in shore traffic. Intrigued by the location and its potential, Nino began exploring the possibility of buying the property and establishing a restaurant there, and the rest, as they say, is history. Over the ensuing 20 years, La Piazza Ristorante has become a mainstay for Allentown residents, people in the surrounding communities, and for those who are fortunate enough to visit or travel through or near Allentown. Combining fine Italian cuisine with small town hospitality, Jerry and his staff at La Piazza Ristorante have built a reputation of caring and committed service to their customers and to the community. That commitment can be seen in La Piazza Ristorante’s

involvement and support of a myriad of local organizations, groups and civic institutions, including Allentown Schools and their students. Jerry and the entire La Piazza family have led efforts that help to support student activities and the athletic teams associated with the schools, be it through sponsorship, fundraising efforts or in providing a venue and/or food for events and celebrations. These efforts have helped to create a unique bond between La Piazza and those that they serve. But if you want to understand what La Piazza represents to the people who have come to know it, one need only look at customers who aren’t even from the U.S., let alone Allentown. Unbeknownst to Jerry, a family from Canada that travels to North Carolina each year discovered La Piazza on one of their trips down the NJ Turnpike and ever since, have made stopping at La Piazza an annual tradition. Recently, their journey happened to coincide with La Piazza closing so Jerry and his staff could take their summer vacations. Disappointed in missing their annual visit to La Piazza, the family sent Jerry a message asking if La Piazza would be open on their return, which it was. Sure enough, the family was able to continue its tradition on its way back north. Given La Piazza’s success, and the connection it’s made with people far and wide, it’s not surprising that Jerry sees the future being more of the same. Maintaining a tradition of sharing great food, superior hospitality and good will with La Piazza’s current, and future customers, a tradition born in a traffic jam on the way to the Jersey Shore.

Broad Street Park makes history in run to state title By Rich Fisher American Legion baseball has gotten to the point where a lot of players would rather end their season early so they can use their beach badges and Great Adventure passes longer. Not the case for Broad Street Park this year. “I talked to these kids getting knocked out of states or districts, and they’re like, ‘All right. I get my summer back,’” Post 313 designated hitter Kyle Harrington said. “We’re getting knocked out, and we’re upset. We wanted to be there. We didn’t want to stop playing. We came to practice every day. Some teams go to practice, and hit batting practice for an hour. We worked every single day in practice two hours a day. We all bought in, and it paid off.” It paid off in the second American Legion state title in Broad Street history and first in 43 years. But the season came to a stunning end when BSP lost two straight in the Mid-Atlantic Regionals after winning their first two games in come-from-behind fashion. A dismayed group of Hamilton baseball players were not thinking of the shore after the season concluded with a loss to Leesburg, Virginia. “We didn’t want the season to end,” centerfielder Darius Land said. “We wanted to play together until we couldn’t play no more after we won the whole

(Photo by John Blaine.) thing in states. Unfortunately that couldn’t happen. It didn’t last.” But the memories sure will. In accomplishing something not done since Jack Rafferty became Hamilton Township’s first elected mayor in 1975, BSP finished 26-8; was second to Hopewell in the Mercer County Ameri-

can Legion League, went 10-3 in the postseason and had the MCALL’s Player of the Year/triple crown winner in Harrington, the Pitcher of the Year in Tim Sharpley and the Manager of the Year in Mike Petrowski. BSP had a .296 team batting average and an outstanding 1.75 team earned

run average. Six regulars hit over .300— Harrington (.422, 9 HR, 41 RBI, 34 runs), Jose Rodriguez (.333, 19 RBI, 18 runs), Land (.330, 4 homers, 20 RBI, 29 runs), Justin Wiltsey (.309, 23 RBI) and Mason Fitzpatrick (.303). Brien Cardona hit .253 but had a team-high 20 walks and scored 18 runs; and became a table setter when Land and he were moved to 1-2 in the lineup during the district tournament. Steven Meckel drove in 12 runs on 14 hits while alternating with Fitzpatrick at first. The starting pitchers were Sharpley (7-0, 1.48 ERA), Fitzpatrick (5-1, 1.68, 52 strikeouts) and Adam Drosos (5-3, 2.04). Adam Chiacchio was stellar in long relief, going 4-2 with a 1.20 ERA and two saves, while closer Nick Diaz was 4-0 with a 3.50 ERA and two saves. Diaz’s ERA is misleading as one bad inning against Whitehouse in the states caused it to balloon. Harrington couldn’t say enough about the staff. “Mason’s going to Monmouth, I told him, ‘Dude go try out.’ I think he’s got a shot,” the former catcher said. “He’s got that tall frame where it’s just coming straight down and he keeps it low. “Our pitchers just ate up this year. Tim hits his spots, he knows he’s not gonna overpower people. Let them hit the ball and get out of it. Same thing with Chock (Chiacchio), he’s got a lot of late run on his ball, he’s hard to hit.

was a good reliever. Adam struggled a little bit, but he came around. He always pitched against the hard teams like Bordentown and Hopewell, and he pitched great in the regions.” Stats were only a small part of the equation, however. According to Harrington, chemistry is what made this team go. “We were one,” the Mercer County Community College player said. “It was like a family for us, we believed in each other. We knew we would pick each other up. I’ve never been on a team like that, it was great. Everyone played their part. Not one person who sat the bench complained. There was none of that. There were no parents on the side complaining; they just let Petrowski coach. There was nothing that was sour about our team. It was a really cool thing to be a part of.” Harrington’s reference to everyone playing their part is especially significant when it comes to catcher Connor Luckie and third baseman Sean Elefant. Neither were offensive stars but both could be given credit for saving victories with their defense. Luckie had 18 assists and threw out three Brooklawn baserunners trying to steal in a state game. Elefant made just four errors at the hot corner and had a .951 fielding percentage. “Sean is so solid; he shows up to play for Petrowski, and he’s lights out on third base,” Harrington said. “Every double play he makes it, every ball that’s smoked he makes it, every bunt he makes the play. He gets down the bunt every time you need a bunt, he knows how to work his way on base. He’s a solid baseball player. “It’s the same thing with Luckie. His arm in freshman year wasn’t that strong, but he worked at it, and it started coming around for legion last year. This year he’s got a gun. He threw out so many runners and hardly had any passed balls. That’s nuts. He was so solid, I trusted him with everything.” BSP’s defense was strong up the middle with Luckie, Rodriguez at short, Cardona on second and Land in center. It was Land’s first season of playing with his old youth teammates, as he played high school ball at Trenton Catholic and travel ball in the summer. He was coerced into playing legion by Cardona, Rodriguez and Alex Venutolo, and he re-joined forces with Harrington, his old Hamilton Little Lads and Babe Ruth teammate. “I always wanted to play with them, but I ended up going to TCA, so it was good to come back and play,” said Land, who plays for Cumberland County College. “It’s a lot more exciting winning states this way. I would rather do it with people that I knew my whole life than people I just met.” It seems strange to think it now, but BSP nearly missed even getting to states after losing to Hamilton Post 31 in the districts. They came back to win nine straight when Petrowski re-shuffled the lineup in a must-win district game against Warren Hills. “I think it was a great change,” Land said. “Just me being batting leadoff and being in that spot, I’m used to it and I liked it. Me getting on and Brien moving

(Photo by John Blaine.) me over or getting on base did a lot, and then Kyle hitting us in.” While all admit it was a team effort, the most magical singular moments belonged to Harrington. In the state final, BSP watched a 2-1 lead turn into a 4-2 deficit when Whitehouse scored three runs in the seventh. In the bottom of the inning, BSP loaded the bases before Harrington drove a 2-2 fastball over the left field fence at Moody Park for a miraculous, walk-off grand slam. After winning its first region game, BSP trailed Vienna, Virginia, 3-1 in the bottom of the seventh. It got one run back before the Walk Off Dude hit a game-winning, two run homer. “It’s so funny,” Harrington said. “I’m running around the bases thinking ‘I did it again.’ Then I was thinking ‘How the hell did I do it again?’” Land had complete faith, saying, “I knew he could do it just from playing with him all my life. I had 100 percent faith in him.” Broad Street suddenly felt like a team of destiny, which made it so shocking when it lost the next two games, 2-1 to Delaware and 9-3 to Leesburg to go

home early. “Our bats just weren’t there,” Land said. “They weren’t there when we needed it. All of our hits were spread out, instead of back to back. We kind of just got down about it.” “Things weren’t going our way,” Harrington added. “In the first inning of the Delaware game I smoked a ball at short-

stop, the kid turned his head and just stuck his glove out and he caught it. We were hitting balls right at kids, nothing was falling for us. Right away, the switch flipped, and it completely changed. In the next game, I was sitting in the dugout down 9-0 just in disbelief. Lawrence was better than that team. It made no sense. I couldn’t even understand it.” Despite the loss, most of the Post 313 players looked upon the season as the best, or one of the best baseball experiences they ever had. Harrington gives much of the credit to Petrowski. “Honestly, he’s my favorite coach of all time,” Harrington said. “I don’t know what it is; maybe it’s the fact he’s no BS. If he knows you’re getting screwed over, he fights for you. He jokes around when it’s OK to joke around, and he knows how to win. And he’ll talk to you. He’s straight up with you. If he thinks something’s up he’ll call you out on it, and kids actually like it. It’s not hiding it and you know why you’re not playing.” Conversely, Petrowski gave his players a ton of credit. One of his favorite refrains after their continuous comeback wins was “these kids just keep battling. There is no quit in them. You can’t coach that, they just have it.” And now they have a state trophy last seen at BSP before the players or Petrowski were even born. “It’s incredible,” Land said. “It shows how hard it is to win a state championship in New Jersey and how tough we are and how much we fought.” And how little they wanted the season to end and trips to the shore to begin.

Harris’ gamble pays off with hoops contract in Holland By Rich Fisher Steve Harris suddenly has a future filled with tulips, windmills and wooden shoes. “Wooden shoes?” Harris said. “I haven’t heard that one yet.” But he is hearing all the other jokes about what makes Holland famous, as his future also includes professional basketball in the Netherlands. On July 5, the Hamilton resident signed a contract with the Den Helder Suns in the Dutch Basketball League, the country’s top pro division. He began training camp Aug. 24, and the season begins in early October. “Once I got to college, I realized that people from my school were going overseas,” Harris said in early August. “I was playing against some of these guys who had the opportunity to go overseas and I remember thinking to myself, ‘Man, I’m just as good as these guys, I can do this.’” He did after an outstanding senior season at East Stroudsburg University, in which he led the Warriors in scoring (15.4 points per game), rebounding (7.3) and blocked shots (1.0) while leading the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference and ranking sixth in Division II with a school-record 66.0 shooting percentage. In the postseason, he helped ESU to the first D-II Atlantic Region title in post-season history, as Harris was named MVP in both the PSAC Tournament and Atlantic Regional championships.

Hamilton resident Steve Harris, right, accepts the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference MVP award, while his teammates behind him bow in reverence. Harris has signed a contract to play in the Netherlands. “I had to have a great year this year,” Harris said. “I was told I had to be all-conference, get my thousand points, and help my team make a run in the playoffs to make myself noticeable and attractive to another team. I was able to do all those things and when the season ended I got contacted and it just kept rolling from there.” Harris’ journey started at Notre Dame High School, where he played for three years under then-coach Bob Turco. A

standout career landed him a scholarship with East Stroudsburg, where he finished with 1,080 points and 668 rebounds (ninth on the school’s all-time list). He ranks fourth in games played (119) and tied for first in post-season games (15). Frustration struck during his fourth season. After a breakout junior year, Harris was averaging 12.4 points and 10.4 rebounds five games into his senior campaign before suffering an ankle

injury that forced him to take a medical redshirt. He had a year of eligibility remaining but was on course to graduate in four years with a degree in communications broadcasting. Life was at a crossroads. Steve wanted to play his final season in order to impress overseas scouts. His mom, Carol, was leaning toward him graduating and getting out in the work world. “It was her job to think the worst case possible and prepare for the worst, because with me being the young dreamer that I am tend to overlook some details at times,” Harris said with a laugh. “That’s where my mom comes into it.” And there were issues to be concerned about. “At that point and time, going overseas was far from certain,” Harris said. “I had to do a lot of stuff to give myself an opportunity, and this was before I was even sure if I’d be able to stay healthy.” The dream of playing pro was too great to ignore, however, so Harris withdrew completely from school prior to the spring semester, with plans of re-registering in the fall of 2017. He was still a team member; but in the eyes of the NCAA, he wasn’t. It was a tough winter. “Dropping out meant I had to cut myself off from team,” Harris said. “I wasn’t allowed in the locker room or the facilities at any time. I wasn’t allowed to group chat anymore. I kind of had to isolate myself.” He returned to Hamilton, worked at

DeLorenzo’s The Burg Pizza in Levittown, Pennsylvania, and dedicated himself to playing basketball and working out, getting into the best shape of his life. “I was never really big into the whole weight lifting thing growing up,” Harris said. “But when I came home last spring, I was lifting six to seven times a week. Sometimes I would go in the morning, get bored and go back again at night. I just kind of caught the bug a little bit.” The difference was noticeable. “His senior year he totally took his game to another level and was our primary option,” coach Jeff Wilson said. “This allowed him to play his best basketball down the stretch. Steve also saw great individual growth in becoming a team captain and someone that elevated his teammates both on and off the court. Steve showed tremendous growth during his fiveyear career. He had the opportunity to fill every role during his career.” By season’s end, Harris procured Courtside Management, a sports agency located in Europe, to negotiate a deal for him. “We got along well,” he said. “I signed with them and they basically took over from there. They just told me, ‘Put your head down, work out and stay in shape.’ They did all the legwork, put my tapes together, presented me with a couple of options.” Harris felt Den Helder’s offer was the best, and his agency agreed, so he never explored other options. The city of Den Helder is a Naval seaport at the northern tip of the Netherlands, and is approximately an hour from Amsterdam—a fact not lost on Harris’s partyhearty buddies who want to come visit. His reasons for choosing there were a bit different, however. “I like the Netherlands because it’s a good country for Americans to go to, a very high rate of English-speaking citizens,” Harris said. “In every poll or list that you see, they’re constantly rated one of the top five nicest countries to live in, and on top of that, they’re located in a nice part of Europe. If I play very well, I can have some exposure. Germany is right next door. So if I go over there and perform well, there’s an opportunity to turn this into a nice little career.” It has happened before with a township basketball player. In the early 1980s, Steinert Athletic Hall of Fame member John Ebeling had a standout professional career in Italy that he parlayed into a successful life as a sports agent there. The fact that Den Helder was interested in Harris was another plus, as many European teams are scared off by anyone who did not play Division I college ball. But once he signed a one-year deal, which is fairly standard in Europe, his place on the team was secure. “I had an uphill battle, so just getting my foot in the door was going to be a big thing,” he said. “I got my foot in the door, I got my spot on the team. Now I feel I’m on a level playing field and I can

really try to make something happen.” He can do so in numerous ways. Wilson noted that Steve’s workout regimen last year made him a “physically dominant player that could really score the basketball in the paint.” “Physically he became someone we knew we could get the ball to and he would come up with big baskets,” the coach said. “He was also a tremendous rebounder at both ends of the court. Steve is very quick off his feet and the combination of his strength and quickness made him a force as a rebounder.” And yet, he is equally effective away from the basket and helping other players score. “He has a very good overall skill level offensively,” Wilson added. “One area in particular is his ability to pass both on the perimeter and out of the post. Steve was very unselfish as a player and did a very good job setting his teammates up.” Harris has had several conversations with his new coach, Peter van Noord about the Dutch style of play, and that excites him further. The high-tempo offense is similar to what Harris played at ND and ESU; and the fact that he’s a mobile big man who can run the floor was something van Noord was looking for. Harris wants to mix in his own style of blue collar play. “I’m really looking forward to using my American physicality, and a little bit of American swagger,” he said. “I put a lot of time in the gym to kind of acquire these muscles. I like using them, I like hitting people. A lot of Europeans supposedly don’t like getting hit. I’m looking forward to using that a little bit.” Wilson feels it is a great marriage between team and player. “Steve will have the opportunity to play immediately in a very good league to start his professional career,” he said. “I look forward to following him and know that his hard work and dedication to the game will allow him the opportunity for professional success.” And, at the very least, a chance to experience wooden shoes, tulips and windmills.

Debut to forget provides lessons to remember for goalie Harvell By Rich Fisher Lizzy Harvell’s collegiate soccer debut was memorable and forgettable all at once. The Steinert High graduate will always remember opening day of her freshman year at Ramapo, as the goalie was lit up in a 9-1 loss to nationally ranked Stevens. But in order to move onward, she had to forget about it. So, while the nine goals remain ingrained in her mind, she will never give a second thought to the negative vibes she felt after the game. That selective amnesia has played a part in Harvell’s rise, as she gradually improved during her freshman year and earned Honorable Mention All-New Jersey Athletic Conference last season as a sophomore. “We were at Stevens, and I had a rough ride home on the bus,” Harvell said. “I was kind of upset, it was hard. You come in, you want to do great, you want to play for the team and all the girls ahead of you. You’re a freshman, you want to prove yourself. The fact I let up nine goals, is like, ‘Wow they must think I think I’m awful right now.’” There were extenuating circumstances, however. Harvell entered training camp thinking she would be the No. 2 goalie and have a chance to learn a little about the college game before getting a start. But when the incumbent keeper did not return, Harvell was the opening-day starter.

Lizzy Har vell earned honorable mention All-New Jersey Athletic Conference honors last season as a sophomore goalie for Ramapo. It did not help that the game was against what coach Abby Shiffler called, “one of the best teams she will ever play. They are consistently ranked in the top 10 in the nation.” Fortunately for Harvell, Shiffler played four years of goalie for Monmouth and could relate to what her freshman had just gone through. The

two had a talk, and the coach noted that she was beaten by a good team and should not shoulder all the blame. One goal came on a penalty shot, a few others were on breakaways, and some were just great shots. “As a keeper, if you can say that you didn’t give up any easy goals, then you’ve done your job,” Shiffler said. “If

someone hits an upper 90 shot, good for them. Just don’t get beat near post or because you were cheating. She didn’t give up any bad goals in that game, and I told her what she went through will only make us better.” The message got through to Harvell, who sulked for a day and then went back to work. “I took a step back, and I said to myself, ‘It’s your first college game, you’re playing a nationally ranked team, dwell on today and then just shake it off, have a hard practice tomorrow, come back the next game and be ready to go,’” she said. “That’s the thought process to have to have. I give myself a day to be mad and upset if I have a bad game. The next day I forget about it. You dwell on it too long; it’s gonna affect you for who knows how long.” She jokes that she set the bar low following that opening game. “I didn’t let up nine after that,” she said with a laugh. “I thought as long as we don’t have any more 9-1 games we’re good. Maybe eight, but not nine. But really, I thought ‘I gotta figure this out here, something’s not working.’” Harvell figured it out pretty quick. After being the un-proud owner of a 9.00 goals-against-average one game into her career, Harvell started to chip away at the unsightly number. In Ramapo’s next four games, the opposition’s goal totals were 1, 1, 0, 3 and 3. There were a few tough games

Hamilton Babe Ruth 13s reach Mid-Atlantic title game By Rich Fisher It was a tough start to the summer for the Hamilton-Northern Burlington Babe Ruth League when its defending Mid-Atlantic Regional championship team disbanded and left the league without a 15-year-old All-Star team. But the H-NB 13s infused some new optimism into the Switlik Park tenants by coming within one game of giving the program a World Series qualifier for the second straight year. The 13-yearolds reached the Mid-Atlantic Regional championship game before dropping a 12-9 decision to Broomall-Newtown, Pennsylvania. The 13s were trying to do what last year’s 14s did. Unfortunately for the league, most members of that team opted for showcase baseball, leaving H-NB no chance to repeat as 15s. “It was disappointing, but everybody’s entitled to do what they want,” 13s manager Jim Petersohn said. “I always use the term, ‘We just move forward.’” That’s exactly what the youngest all stars did by cruising to the state championship with four straight victories and winning their first five region games before falling in the title game. H-NB trailed, 3-1, came back for a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the fourth but was victimized by a nine-run inning by B-N in the top of the fifth. “Just one bad inning,” lamented catcher Nate Mains, one of seven Ham-

Pictured are (front) Niko Garnier, Franklin Peters, bat boy Jackson Burd, Isaiah Helleis, (back) coach Dave Visalli, Nate Mains, Christopher Nodeland, Noah Rivera, James Watson, coach Steve Krecicki, Alex Visalli, John Bassett, Austin Boddie, Ryan Kochie, Matteo Mannino, Ryan Boyd, Andrew Stizza, manager Jim Petersohn, Isaac Acosta and coach Brian Nodeland. ilton residents on the roster. “We erase that inning and everything’s completely different. I don’t think we made any errors, they just hit it where we weren’t. They didn’t hit anything too solid, they just kept finding holes.” H-NB tried to claw its way back, scor-

ing three in the fifth and two in the sixth before running out of outs. “We changed pitchers four times in the inning, they were all clean hits,” Petersohn said. “I’m proud of the kids for battling back the way they did.” Up to that point, H-NB was barely

tested, outscoring the opposition 49-27 in states and 50-9 in its first five regional games. The only close ones were in the states against Jersey Shore (12-9) and Washington Township (12-10) and in the regionals against host Atlantic Shore (3-1). “Scoring that many runs is fun,” Mains said. “But it’s also nice to have those tight games that put the knot in your stomach and you have to battle to the very end.” He was mainstay (pun intended) for the team, hitting .444 with numerous clutch hits while playing stellar defense. “He was very, very good behind the plate,” Petersohn said. “He threw out baserunners throughout the tournament.” A Grice graduate, Mains is headed to Hamilton West in the fall where he will run cross country to stay in shape for baseball, and also go out for the swim team due to a lifelong love of the pool. He was one of numerous players who made the daily round-trip to Atlantic City for states and regionals. “It’s a long ride, but I sleep for most of it, and there’s Wawas everywhere,” said Mains, who is as consistent with his sandwich selection as he is on the field. His go-to meal is a classic turkey, ham and cheese sub with salt, pepper and oregano, along with a side order of Sun Chips. “That’s what I get, every time,” he said. Mains found the whole tournament experience exhilarating, and was not surprised at the team’s showing since

the same nucleus had extensive success playing fall travel ball. He was bolstered by the fact everyone on that squad decided to play Babe Ruth in the spring. “Everybody was in the same league after they joined, so we figured why not go for All Stars because it means more and everyone will remember it more than a good travel season,” Mains said. “It’s definitely more meaningful (representing your hometown) than playing for a travel league, where you can get kids from anywhere you want; as opposed to playing for a rec league where it’s kids from only a couple of towns.” Mains’ teammates from the township were Austin Boddie, Chris Nodeland, Isaiah Helleis, Isaac Acosta, Nate Mains and Noah Rivera. Boddie hit .438 as a spot starter in the outfield and, according to Petersohn, “always came off the bench when we needed him and produced.” Nodeland played left field and missed the states but returned to provide more depth in the regionals. Petersohn said Acosta, “was our defensive gem at first, I couldn’t believe the plays he made at first base and he was one of our bigger bats, hitting .400 for us in states and regionals.” He was also a left-handed pitcher who helped eat up innings. Helleis was a left-handed pitcher, “who ate up innings for us,” and Rivera provided “another arm for us who had some successful outings.” Rounding out the team from Burlington County were centerfielder Alex Visalli, Andrew Stizza, second baseman Franklin Peters, third baseman/pitcher James Watson (who hit a team high .448), John Bassett, shortstop pitcher Matteo Mannino, shortstop/pitcher Nico Gar-

nier, third baseman/ace pitcher Ryan Boyd and extra hitter Ryan Kochie. It was a group that keeps hope alive for Babe Ruth baseball in the area. “Getting as far as we did is tremendous for our league,” Petersohn said. “I’m very happy we are starting to get the tradition back for Hamilton-Northern Burlington Babe Ruth.” Mains added, “I don’t know what the team expected. I expected to do what we did, but it’s still very nice to win it. I’ve never won a state championship so it was new. I was very pleased and very happy with how we played.” The catcher is also happy to report that he thinks travel baseball may not smash his squad to pieces in the future. “I think the team will stay together, because I think everybody had a blast playing for this team,” Mains said. “They realized the potential that we have, so I think we’ll stick together and make another good run next year.”

perhaps—featuring grown-up versions of the characters—“I Don’t Like Who You Voted For, Charlie Brown.” Technology, though extremely disruptive to the traditional newspaper business model, hasn’t been entirely bad for comic strips. Through webcomics, the internet allows creators to find their audience more easily; there are tons of online comics that are very well done but court a niche audience, which in the past had been a recipe for poverty and obscurity. Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal and xkcd are two of my favorites, and lean toward sciencey humor, but there are webcomics to suit every taste, often collected in print versions as a concession to traditionalists who still enjoy the feel of paper, or masochists who enjoy the feel of paper cuts. Newspapers aren’t needed to view regular syndicated comic strips anymore, either: gocomics.com, among other sites, allows you to create your own comics page, populated with your favorites from any era. My current tastes lean toward wordier strips like Get Fuzzy and Monty, but away from preachy pontifications like Mutts and Mallard Fillmore, or strips that exhausted their potential a long time ago, like Marmaduke. Garfield is a bit long in the tooth, but Garfield Minus Garfield, a surreal webcomic homage in which the cat is erased from complete strips “in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle,” is right up my alley. My all-time favorite comic strip? Calvin and Hobbes, The Far Side, and the aforementioned Peanuts are undeniable classics that deserve consideration, but Krazy Kat by George Herriman is in a class by itself. Set mostly in a spartan, surreal desert landscape, the basic plot is easy to explain: Officer Pupp, a dog policeman, loves Krazy. Krazy, however, only has eyes for Ignatz, a mouse. Meanwhile, Ignatz constantly throws bricks at Krazy, which Krazy interprets as a sign of love, and which usually lands Ignatz in jail, courtesy of Officer Pupp. It’s a triangle that inspired over 30 years of strips whose art, and artful wordplay, are without peer. The Hamilton Post doesn’t contain any comics, a condition that would have disqualified it from reading by the 10-year-old me. But it’s a situation I’ve remedied this month, as you can see. Don’t let my meager attempt at cartooning put you off—find a couple of comic strips (at least) that you enjoy, whether online or in print, and give yourself the gift of the funnies. Peter Dabbene will be signing copies of his poetry collection Optimism on Sept. 22, from 12-2 p.m. at Classics Bookstore in Trenton.

HAMILTON HOLISTIC WELLNESS CENTER

The author’s greatest masterpiece—her at-work snack drawer. By Samantha Sciarrotta ssciarrotta@communitynews.org My cubical at work is very much me. I like to be surrounded by the things that I love. There are action figures, posters, postcards, trinkets and pictures stacked in the desk and pinned to the wall. There’s a rainbow of pens (way more than I need, some that I don’t even use), an assortment of Post-It notes, my headphones, multiple mugs (I do not drink coffee and only occasionally drink tea). The crown jewel, though, is my snack drawer. My snack drawer looks like what would happen if an eight-year-old got to run through a grocery store unattended and buy whatever she wanted. It’s filled with fruit snacks, Little Debbie treats and a carefully curated selection of Tastykakes. Sometimes I’ll buy a box of sugary cereal to eat for breakfast for the week. I’m sure my contact crunching does not bother anyone in the vicinity of my desk at all. The highlight of my year came when I learned the parmesan Goldfish I had stashed in there were not one of the four varieties of the cracker that were recalled in July. My snack drawer gets me out of bed in the morning. The drawer has evolved over the years. I’d buy some things here and there to munch on, but it’s at its creative peak right now. I cleaned out my cube earlier this year specifically to make room for more snacks, and I really felt like a genius. I play Tetris with treat boxes, fitting them in to make storage and selection more efficient. It’s an art, honestly. Earlier this year, I added a jar of candy to my desk. My brother’s girlfriend got me a sweet apothecary-style glass jar for Christmas that she filled with some of my favorites. I brought it to work after our holiday break, and I’ve been replenishing it ever since. It’s looking a little lonely at the moment—currently there are some Skittles and a handful of Jolly Ranchers. But its day will come. I often find myself shopping for snacks when I probably shouldn’t be buying food—when I’m hungry, when I’m stressed, when we’re readying the news-

paper for press and it feels like the only way to ease my anxiety is to chain-eat Fruit Roll-Ups. I walk out of the grocery store with multiple bags and think, “Yes, surely this $20 worth of disgusting high fructose corn syrup will last me the rest of the month,” and then I house a box of Gushers before 5 p.m. Serving size is a myth that I do not believe in, especially between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. I justify eating like this by going to the gym, like, once every three weeks. I’m still burning calories, man! Sometimes I forget what’s in there. It’s like a fun little surprise when I open it up and find a bag of chips I forgot I bought. I’m at the store all over again! Except I’ve already wasted the money on disgusting food that I am now one step closer to consuming. Ultimately, the snacks are there for anyone who wants them. Honestly, I want other people to partake so I don’t feel bad about eating a box of Thin Mints in two days. I think my coworker Laura Pollack, our digital media manager, has developed a Pavlovian response to the sound of my drawer opening. Laura sits at the cube in front of me, and our desks are separated by a pane of glass. When I slide the drawer open, she turns around, we make eye contact and we feast. We exist on the same snack wavelength. Our post-lunch cravings are synced up. It is beautiful. I’m constantly thinking about what my next food purchase will be. It’s like wondering what’s for dinner while you’re eating lunch. Do I go with traditional elementary school lunchbox treats? Will I be in the mood for something more savory? To account for this, I usually just pick out a variety of different flavors and textures. The Drawer is like Chopped if it were run by third graders. Which reminds me—it’s time to replenish. Samantha Sciarrotta is events editor of the Hamilton Post. She is a lifelong Hamilton resident.
