By keLLie c. mURPhy The New Jersey Chapter of the American Planning Association is an 1,100 member organization of mostly licensed planners. There’s 565 municipalities in the state and the bigger cities should have a staff of at least several planners. The organization is focused on members doing training and continuing education.

By micheLe aLPeRin The annual Bordentown Halloween Parade is a family affair. Katy McGowan has been running the Consolidated Fire Association’s Halloween Parade, set this year for Oct. 28, for nine years, taking over after the sudden death at of her father, Steve McGowan, who had been parade chairperson from its beginning. Rick Klinge co-chaired the parade from the beginning until his death a few years ago. For the McGowans, the Consolidated Fire Association’s building on 20 Crosswicks St., dedicated October 24, 1970, is a second home. “I used to go to St. Mary’s School, right around corner. I would walk every day to the firehouse; we would hang out in the firehouse with my father, and he would drive us home,” says Katy McGowan. “The firehouse is a place to hang out for many firefighters.” McGowan’s father joined the volunteer firefighters in about 1962 at age 16, fudging a little on the minimum age of 17. That was eight years before the July 5, 1966, merger of the Citizen Hook and Ladder Co., The Delaware Fire Co. and Weccacoe Hose Co. to form the Consolidated Fire Association to create the Consolidated Fire Association. The first parade was held See PARADE, Page 18

AROUND TOWN Township receives $2.1 million connector road grant Bordentown Township will receive $2.1 million from the New Jersey Department of Transportation to construct a connector road between Rising Sun Road and Dunns Mill Road. The grant is part of the new Local Freight Impact Fund program, totaling $30.1 million to help municipalities provide for the safe movement of large truck traffic. Preliminary design and engineering are underway. Work is estimated to begin mid-2019. “New Jersey roads and bridges carry some of the heaviest amount of commercial truck traffic in the country every day,” said NJDOT commissioner Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti in a state news release. “The Local Freight Impact Fund is an example of your gas tax dollars at work. The new program provides state funds to municipalities to make critical improvements to truck routes to keep our infrastructure in a state of good repair and keep our regional economy moving in the right direction.” The proposed project, said a township news release, will construct a new connector road between Dunns Mill Road

and Rising Sun Road, intended to accomodate trucks and other vehicles. It will also give heavy-duty vehicles direct access to the New Jersey Turnpike, as well as the truck stops on Rising Sun Road. “Most importantly,” said Mayor Stephen Benowitz in the release, “the residents of Dunns Mill Road and Bordentown Hedding Road will no longer have to deal with unnecessary and bothersome large trucks traversing through their neighborhoods.” The connector road is also designed to eliminate the need for truck traffic to travel toward the Route 130-Farnsworth Avenue intersection. “The most beneficial part of this new connector road will bet he increased safety of the Farnsworth Avenue/Route 130 intersection,” Benowitz said. “By redirecting truck traffic through the new connector road, that intersection can be redeisgned for better pedestrian access.” LFIF is a competitive program, which was created as part of Transportation Trust Fund reauthorization in October 2016. The program helps New Jersey’s municipalities fund projects that emphasize and enhance the safe movement of large truck traffic, renew aging structures that carry large truck traffic, pro-

mote economic development, and support new transportation opportunities. Under the program, projects that fall into four categories are eligible for funding: bridge preservation, new construction, pavement preservation and truck safety and mobility. The grants are administered by the NJDOT Division of Local Aid and Economic Development. NJDOT staff evaluate projects using a variety of criteria including: existing conditions, overall traffic volume, percentage of large truck traffic, crash frequency, connectivity to freight nodes, among others. Bordentown is the only muncipality in the county to receive a LFIF grant, according to a township news release, and one of 21 agencies statewide. The township submitted a grant application to the state, which included a 2014 study by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Coalition. Township professionals also sent in internal studies and independent traffic counts.

BRHS theater to present ‘Rough Magic’ Bordentown Regional High School theater students will perform Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa’s dark comedy Rough Magic Friday, Oct. 19 and Saturday, Oct. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the Bordentown Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students and seniors, and can be purchased in advance at seatyourself.biz/brhs. Tickets will also be sold at the door. The action-adventure-fantasy conjures a magical meta-universe in which evil sorcerer Prospero steps out of the pages of Shakespeare’s The Tempest and threatens death and destruction in modern-day Manhattan. To fight this supernatural foe, a quartet of unlikely heroes will emerge from the ashes to save the city and its citizens from complete and utter destruction. Written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the creator of the hit television series Riverdale, Rough Magic is “a neat little juggler’s trick, a shoutout to the Bard, the theater business, and comic books all at once...Theater History 101, in other words, gets sliced and diced and slotted into an unrepentantly meta adventure featuring a monstrous villain, his nasty henchmen, and a team of motley misfits scrambling to save the world,” said a Washington City Paper review. Friday night’s performance stars McKenna Acampora, Max Berton, Maggie Berton, Hayley Black, Victoria Danao, Gracie Erxleben, Sage Milman, Hailey Muhler, Adi Omolade, Hanna Ray, Janice Rodriguez and Nicole Schiariti. Saturday night’s performance stars Lucas Bergen, Zoey Black, Ashley Castillo, Elijah Davis, Kayla Downing, Connor Graham, Ella Haulenbeek, Mia Procaccino, Giovanna Scozzaro, Zainub Shah, Lena Stoeckert and Alison Wall.

Theatre students from Bordentown Regional High School will be dressed in costumes to collect food donations during the local Trick or Treat activities on Oct. 31st from 5:30 p.m. until 9 p.m. Instead of trick-or-treating for candy, these students will be collecting canned food and other pantry items.

Thousands of pounds of food will be collected in one night across the country.

Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. Communities across the United States honor those who have served in the military in various ways. And nobody is planning to celebrate its hometown heroes better than Bordentown. The Bordentown City Veterans Memorial Committee will hold a much anticipated Gala this November 17th at the Scottish Rite Hall, 103 Dunns Mill Road, Bordentown beginning at 6pm with cocktails, dinner & dancing at 7pm, and much, much more! Gala Committee Chairs Stephanie Pecht and Esther Collom have worked tirelessly with their committee members to create a swinging dinner dance to raise funds for the restoration of the magnificent Veterans’ Memorial on Farnsworth Avenue. “We are pulling out all the stops,” says Pecht. “The evening will be black tie optional and catering will be by none other than Toscano’s. We are so pleased to be partnering with one of our community’s beloved restaurateurs. And that’s just the beginning. We will have both a live band and a DJ. Esteem Live Music will make sure the evening begins and stays on a high note. We will also sponsor a basket auction to keep things jumping. Three special veterans will be honoured as the highlight of our program. A Military Honor Guard from McGuire Air Force Base will also be on hand.” The 2018 Honorees are Ret. US Army SSgt Vincent Walsh Sr., Ret. US Navy Chief Petty Officer Robert Adonizio and Ret. US Navy Chief Boatswains Mate Joseph Prokopetz dec. The restoration of the Veterans’ Memorial has been in the planning stages for a while. “We saw that the structure was showing signs of wear and tear. Repairs were going to be needed and we wanted to act now before things became even more expensive,” says Pecht. “What
better way to get the job done than to engage the entire community in the effort.” Former mayor Bill Collom remembers the creation of the Memorial. “The town had had a World War II honor roll at the site on Farnsworth for years but by the 1990s, it had deteriorated. A group of local residents created a committee to look into repairs but the idea developed into designing a whole new memorial that would celebrate Bordentown’s participation in all the conflicts from the Revolutionary War forward. The Memorial we see today was dedicated on May 28, 2011.” Collom stresses that the planning, design and construction of the Memorial was completed using no taxpayer monies. “It was and is a completely citizen driven undertaking. We did it all with donations and grants. It was no small undertaking to research the names of veterans back to 1776.” After nearly eight years of wind and weather the “new” Memorial is also in need of restoration. “Our committee has been studying what is needed to keep the Memorial in tip-top shape, but we also realized that funding was going to be key,” says Pecht. “Our Gala committee has three goals: one, to honor our veterans and volunteers who serve our area; two, to galvanize the fundraising effort to preserve the Memorial; and three, to have FUN!” Tickets are $80 per person and can be purchased by contacting either Pecht or Collom. The Veterans Memorial is a 501(c)3 non-profit. Donations are tax deductible. Call for tickets early as this promises to be one of the best parties in town. What better way to thank your hometown heroes and preserve their legacy of sacrifice and service.

This is velop the old General Motors property. Latini was going through a divorce at the plan that an engineer or an architect is the time, so he decided to move back to going to design a site to fit into. Therefore, the area—but not to Ewing. Instead he the master plan an urban planner creates is probably the most important document moved to Bordentown. “My college roommates were all from that a city or town can have. Unfortunately New Jersey has a lot the Chesterfield/Bordentown area, and one owned a bunch of houses in town of communities sitting on master plans here.

I need that quality of life. I disconnected. The NJAPA has been try-
ing to look at that, educating communities and elected officials on why they should be investing in planning. “Through the bureaucratic process if somebody comes in with a proposal and in that proposal is an idea that doesn’t exactly fit, as I’m reviewing it I may see a better way,” Latini says. “The process becomes iterative and I can get creative with that property owner and suggest something that doesn’t need to go to the planning board and it’ll actually be a better project. Or if you go to the board and do it an alternative way I’ll be right behind you saying, ‘This is better than what the rules would normally allow,’ and the board, who are all busy part-time volunteers, will say, ‘Alright well, we trust our planning professionals and good luck.’ It’s not as forward thinking as I would like, but it stays in balance.” Bureaucracy is frustrating enough, not to mention stodgy thinking. Latini says he won’t go into a town that is not forward thinking or is stuck in some antiquated mindset. Most of his interactions are with people of like mind, but politics still plays a giant part in all of his work. City or town councils need to give the thumbs up or down in all real estate matters that involve large communities. It’s hyperlocal politics at its best. On a recent trip to Rome, his mind was still on how urban communities function and ser ve the community. “Everywhere I go I think about my work. I can’t not see work,” he says. “It’s always the relationship between the environment and the people working within it. In Rome, things are much tighter, much more walkable. You get to the other side of the city without incident as long as you watch out for the Vespas. Its hard to compare it to the States, because you’re dealing with structures that are hundreds of years older and need so much more care than over here.” Latini is very enthusiastic and positive about what can be achieved through real estate by connecting neighborhoods to shopping areas to parks to offices, whether it’s his birth city of Trenton, the former Ocean Spray site in Borden-
town or the General Motors property in Ewing, which is now being redeveloped as the mixed-use Parkway Town Center. “We’ve been thinking about the GM property as a walkable venue, a place people can gather and community events can take place. We can have a food truck festival or a concert and create a sense of place with a pedestrian-first approach. My travels in general have led me to plan for people first, not developments, not for parking automobiles, but for people,” he says. Latini says he is also excited about the Ocean Spray redevelopment project. Danny Popkin, the owner of the site, operates a business called Modern Recycled Spaces, which takes old, industrial buildings and converts them into cool, hip urban spaces. The Ocean Spray factory is mostly brick with corrugated steel additions and some other industrial elements. All the historic pieces will get buffed and restored. There will be a brew pub and makers village on the property, which will occupy most of the space. There will be a custom baker from the area who also does parties, as well as a yoga studio. It’ll add a couple of floors of housing on the property as well. Popkin also developed the Studio Park area on East State Street in Trenton. Trenton is where Latini sees his biggest urban planning ambition being fulfilled. “I’d like to see the rebirth of our capital city fully realized. A place for everybody, not new development that pushes everybody out, but real unity for the city of Trenton,” he says. “I’ve been talking with folks about getting more involved. There are so many assets. Things are disconnected, the most being the people. Everybody wants to come in and announce themselves the king of a project. And that’s been disheartening over the last few years for me. Not everybody can do everything alone. You need other people. You’ve got to set your ego at the door and work towards a more altruistic goal. I think if that could happen — and I’m encouraged by Trenton Mayor Gusciora—I think we can take what we’ve got and figure out how to implement it,” he says.

MILITARY continued from Page 1 academic institution, but the whole pomp and circumstance; the parades and dress uniforms on Sundays, all that stuff,” Hamilton continued. “My Sunday School teacher was Paul Hartpence, the legendar y track coach. Ever y Sunday we heard BMI stories about athletes and exploits and things that happened. It was a different atmosphere.” An atmosphere that is still recognized by graduates every two years. The latest biennial alumni celebration will be held Oct. 26-27, when a cocktail reception will be held at the Bordentown Yacht Club Friday night followed by the graduates marching from the Consolidated Firehouse to the cadet statue on Park Street. The monument stands in a small park where the hallowed institution once stood in all its glory. BMI is unique, in that it is still remembered fondly and vividly by area residents despite shutting its doors 45 years ago. The school was open from 1881 to 1972 before merging unsuccessfully for one year with the Lenox School in Massachusetts. With the Vietnam War still raging, anti-military school sentiment ran high and BMI shut down in 1973. Since then, only memories remain. They are enough to keep the school’s image alive. Few institutions that have been dormant for so long, have the staying power in the minds of so many. Part of it has to with the big-time athletic names that
Ron Hoehn (left), Al Verdel and Eric Hamilton got together to discuss their memories of the Bordentown Militar y Institute. Although Hoehn is the lone BMI graduate of the group, Verdel’s father played football for Hoehn’s father, and Hamilton grew up in Bordentown religiously attending Cadet athletic events. (Photo by Rich Fisher.) played for the Cadets. Leading the list is NFL Hall of Famer Floyd Little.

owns the franchise record of 15 strikeouts in one game. Former Phils and Cubs manager Lea Elia was another baseball star, along with Trenton Thunder owner Joe Plumeri.
Other football entries included Eagles All-Pro Stan Walters, the Giants’ Tom Longo and the Bills’ Paul Costa. While he didn’t make it to the NFL, Doug Palmer did go on to become the mayor of Trenton. Former assistant coaches Steve Libro and Bruce Martz became highly successful head coaches at North Brunswick and Ewing high schools, while graduate Jay Luisi became a South Jersey icon as Buena’s coach. The legacy goes deeper than that, however. Ron Hoehn is a 1966 graduate whose personalized license plate is BMI 66. He is the son of a BMI legend, as has dad Robert, known more commonly as Doc, was a teacher and the school’s athletic director/football coach/basketball coach from 1938 until his death in 1960. Doc remains one of the true symbols of what the school stood for— hard work, integrity, honesty and success. He amassed records of 94-56-12 in football, including five undefeated teams, and 190-140 in basketball. His contributions went beyond numbers, as was stated in a memorial tribute article written in the 1960-61 Yearbook. The passage concluded by saying “If it is true that ‘Any man’s death diminishes me,’ it is doubly so for the BMI family in the loss of ‘Doc’ Hoehn. As coach, teacher, and friend, he left a heritage for us all to live up to—a future for which we are well trained, and the will to succeed.” Although Doc passed before his son

got to BMI, Ron was still the recipient of the gifts his dad instilled in others. The younger Hoehn attended from 1962-66 but sometimes wished he went to Bordentown High rather than BMI because the football team was so good, he could only make the JV team. Over four decades later, those thoughts have changed. “I feel like the foundation of my whole life was BMI,” said Hoehn, who has been a high school football official for over 40 years and a driving force behind the Delaware Valley Chapter of the National Football Foundation. “I grew up across the street. I virtually lived on the campus as a little kid. When I got the honor to go there after my dad passed, I probably didn’t realize then, how important that was. But I considered that more important than my college experience.” Hoehn is not the only grad to feel that way. “The pride is in the foundation,” he continued. “A lot of the guys hated the school when they were there. They didn’t like wearing the uniform. But invariably the guys come back and talk about the foundation that school provided for them in whatever they went on to. They had excellent coaching. Excellent teachers. It was just ingrained that we were gonna excel whether on the field or in the classroom.” A big reason for the athletic success was the enrollment of post-graduates; many of whom came to BMI to gain the structure that was needed in college ath-
Robert “Doc” Hoehn, who coached the Bordentown Militar y Institute football team, talks to former player Tom Longo, who went on to play for the University of Notre Dame and the New York Giants. letics a lot more than today. “We had PGs, which helped; and they emphasized that ever y kid there had to do some sport,” Hoehn said.
“They had gym classes but insisted you participate in one or two sports. So ever ybody was going out for something.” Hamilton added that, “The school is legendary, especially because of the athletic prowess that went along with it. If you were a good athlete, probably in football more than anything else, you went there to make sure you had the discipline you needed and the academic background to go on to the next level. It was basically a prep school in that respect, and it prepped you to play ball.” Part of that prep came from Doc Hoehn and his staff, which included Al “Stump” Verdel. A former minor league baseball player, Verdel served as Hoehn’s assistant, and their wives became close friends. Verdel’s son, Al, became friends with Ron Hoehn and the two have served as officials together for over 30 years. Verdel also coached Notre Dame High before Chappy Moore arrived in the 1970s. Although he didn’t attend BMI, it was always a part of Verdel and he still refers to it as if he did go there. “It was a unique school, a small school; but we competed with some of the better schools in the countr y,” he said. “We didn’t have the greatest facilities there, with an old cemeter y type setting. But there was a lot of spirit and a lot of good people that I came across when I was just a little kid, who were influential in me growing up. I was only five but the guys I knew were a great bunch of guys. I
got a chance to see some pretty good players. Chris Short was over my house one time.” The biggest name among BMI athletes is Little, who rushed for 6,323 yards and 43 touchdowns in nine years with the Denver Broncos. Little led the NFL in rushing in 1971 and in touchdowns in 1973. He is also a member of the College Football Hall of Fame after being named a three-time All-American at Syracuse. Little played for the Cadets during Hoehn’s first two years at BMI, and the memories are indelible about the person as much as the player. “I remember how ever ybody rallied around him all the time,” Hoehn said. “He was an amazing athlete. He did football, basketball, track, and was a definite leader. Ever ybody looked up to him. He got promoted to be an officer, which was big for someone who was there for only two years. But he was so well respected, not just because he was a football player but he was a gentleman and he was just a leader all around. He wasn’t aloof, he could talk to anybody.” Little actually returned to Bordentown in 2010 when the Cadet statue was dedicated. “We were all marching, and he was sitting in the back of a car waving to everybody,” Hoehn said with a laugh. “Having him there was quite an experience.” Considering how long ago the school closed, a good amount of alums still return for the reunions.

MILITARY cont. from Page 11 “At our last one,” Hoehn said, “maybe about 15 Cadets made the march.” In uniform? “One guy had his uniform,” Hoehn said with a laugh. “The rest of them are like me, they couldn’t fit into their uniform if they tried.” They may have outgrown the clothes, but not the memories. The stories will be swapped again later this month when the parade culminates in the mini-park, located where the entrance to the Old Main Building on campus once stood.
The rest of that area was replaced with Kings Gate condominiums, while the dormitories are now private residences and businesses. One of the more unfortunate chapters in the BMI stor y was the school’s closing. Dr. Harold Morrison-Smith ser ved as headmaster and president from 1932-1968. One of Smith’s great talents, according to Hoehn, was contacting alumni when the school needed help. But when anti-war sentiment began chipping away at enrollment, his replacement did not have that knack. “During the last four or five years a new guy came in and he didn’t know how to reach out to the alumni,” Hoehn said. “The alums supported Dr. Morrison-Smith to no end. Had the alumni known the school was in danger of falling under they would have come forward. There were a lot of people who thought so highly of the school, and it was definitely disappointing. A lot of people were outraged they didn’t know about it, or they would have done something about it.” Nothing lasts forever, however, and when the merger did not work out, a glorious era ended. But the men of strong character it produced, be it in athletics or other areas, continue on. “The older I get,” Hoehn said, “the more I appreciate the education that I had at BMI. I think we all feel it was more about the school, then just being an athlete.”

Innovative Procedures
liver
Dr. Doria performs these innovative procedures to treat benign conditions and cancers in the liver, pancreas, and bile duct: BLOODLESS LIVER SURGERY: An ultrasonic device suctions out liver cells, immediately followed by a probe that uses hot, sterile water to seal the pancreas liver’s blood vessels upon contact. This bile duct means significantly reduced surgical and recovery times (complete recovery within as little as one month). LIVER AUTO-TRANSPLANTATION: In cases where patients have liver cancer that is too extensive to be removed while the liver is in the body, Dr. Doria and his team can remove the liver, remove the cancer, and reimplant the healthy portion of the organ. ROBOTIC-ASSISTED HEPATOBILIARY SURGERY: With the minimally invasive da Vinci® Surgery System, Dr. Doria uses miniaturized wristed instruments and a high-definition 3D camera that are inserted through small incisions (roughly the size of a dime). Working at the da Vinci® console, Dr. Doria’s hand movements are translated into precise actions that remove cancer in the liver, pancreas and bile duct. These procedures also require less anesthesia than major, open surgery, which means patients are at even less risk for complications. Health Headlines by Capital Health | Bordentown Current13

Opioid Recovery Program for Pregnant Women Addresses Issues Highlighted in CDC Report According to a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number of pregnant women with opioid use disorder (OUD) at labor and delivery increased significantly over a 15-year span covering 1999 to 2014. Based on information from 28 reporting states, the national rate increased from 1.5 per 1,000 in 1994 to 6.5 per 1,000 over the course of the 15-year span. Although New Jersey’s increase (4.1 per 1,000 in 1999 to 5.6 per 1,000 in 2014) was lower than the national rate, the study shows an increasing need to address this destructive epidemic.
In the past year, Capital Health and longtime partners at the Trenton Health Team, the Rescue Mission, HomeFront, and Catholic Charities Diocese of Trenton have offered For My Baby and Me, a grant-based program that provides specialized care for pregnant women and new mothers who are struggling with opioid use disorder. Funded by the New Jersey Department of Health, the program promotes long-term recovery as well as ongoing medical care and support for women and their children. “Opioid use disorder during pregnancy opens the door for many possible negative health outcomes for mothers and their babies,” said Dr. Eric Schwartz, executive director of the Capital Health
Institute for Urban Care. “Our program’s community-based, collaborative approach helps ensure that pregnant women and new mothers with OUD receive the care they need to improve the likelihood of a sustained recovery.” In order to more effectively address OUD in pregnant women, the CDC made several recommendations including: … Implementing universal substance use screening at the first prenatal visit … Ensuring pregnant women with OUD have access to medication-assisted therapy and related addiction services … Making sure mothers with OUD receive adequate patient-centered postpartum care, including mental health and
substance use treatment, relapseprevention programs and family planning services. For My Baby and Me employs a threestep process: … Identify women and children at risk. … Connect them with care providers, including a licensed clinical alcohol and drug counselor, and partners to provide opioid recovery treatment, safe housing, legal services, child care and other support as needed. … Treat patients by providing prenatal care and pediatric care for their children.

Recognized as Top Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery by U.S. News & World Report in Central and Southern New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania

0 p.m.
Capital Health Regional Medical Center (RMC) was recently recognized as the best hospital for neurology and neurosurgery in the region in U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals for 2018– 19. With millions of patients in the United States facing surgery or requiring special care each year, U.S. News ranks hospital performance in 16 areas of specialty care and nine more commonly performed procedures to help people find the best hospitals in the nation that provide the services they need and have the highest scores for quality and safety. RMC earned a High Performing rating for neurology and neurosurgery; scoring the highest in the region; tenth hospital overall in New Jersey. Capital Health was the highest scoring hospital in New Jersey that is also a Comprehensive Stroke Center certified by The Joint Commission. “The annual hospital ranking by U.S. News & World Report is a well-known resource for patients and health care providers when selecting a hospital,” said DR. MICHAEL F. STIEFEL, director of Capital

We are extremely pleased to have our program listed among the best in the country.” “It’s a compliment to the entire Capital Health team to be recognized by U.S. News and World Report. This recognition validates our commitment and quality of care to the people and community we serve. It should hopefully provide an extra level of comfort and reassurance for patients and their families when choosing Capital Health, knowing that it has been ranked among the best in the country.” A hospital’s overall neurology and neurosurgery score is based on various data categories, including patient volume and survival, intensivist staffing, advanced technologies, and patient services. Capital Health’s scores in these areas had RMC earn the top score in the region and the second highest score in New Jersey.

in New Jersey to Offer FDA-Approved EMBOTRAP II STENT RETRIEVER for Ischemic Stroke Patients
Capital Health is the first hospital in New Jersey, and among the first in the United States, to use the new EMBOTRAP II Revascularization Device since its recent approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) this summer. As part of its Comprehensive Stroke Center, certified by The Joint Commission, neurosurgeons from Capital Health’s Capital Institute for Neurosciences use this next generation stent-retriever to safely remove a blood clot from an artery in the brain that is causing a stroke. “EMBOTRAP II is the latest advance in mechanical thrombectomy for restoring blood flow to the brain and improving outcomes for patients who are suffering an ischemic stroke as a result of a large blood vessel blockage,” said Dr. Vernard Fennell, a fellowship trained cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgeon at Capital Institute for Neurosciences’ Stroke and Cerebrovascular Center. Dr. Fennell was also
involved in some of the initial research on the device’s design. “As one of the tools that we use to treat ischemic stroke, EMBOTRAP II has a design that has been shown to trap clots that are causing the blockage of blood flow in the brain while retaining its shape, making it faster and more effective at retrieving the clot, restoring blood flow to the brain, and ultimately providing a better outcome,” he said. Stroke is a leading cause of disability and the fifth leading cause of death in the United States. Neurosurgeons from the Capital Institute for Neuroscience’s Stroke & Cerebrovascular Center are trained to use state-of-the-art devices such as EMBOTRAP II to provide the most advanced, comprehensive stroke care to patients in Central New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania.

An eye-covered float rides through the Bordentown Halloween Parade in 2015. This year’s parade is set for Sunday, Oct. 28. (Photo by Ron Onorati.) PARADE continued from Page 1 in 1970, after the new firehouse was dedicated. “People wanted to give a thank you back to the town for giving us a building to house the fire trucks,” McGowan says. McGowan was the likely person to take over as parade chairperson after her father’s death because she had been helping him in small ways for years, even bringing friends home from college to help judge the masquerading contests. “Instead of ‘The show must go on,’ it was ‘The parade must go on,’” she says. “I jumped into his shoes, which were huge ones to fill.” Although the actual parade starts at 2 p.m., people set out chairs in front of their houses starting about 9 a.m. to save seats for themselves, and they often have picnics together during the day. The parade always draws back native Bordentowners who have moved away, reuniting families and old friends. McGowan relates that high school friends, who now bring their husbands and children to the parade, return for the weekend to their childhood homes. “They don’t get to see their friends very often—this may be the only time they see each other during the year,” she said. The parade is a powerful draw for the entire Bordentown community. Businesses, organizations, Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops, and families create floats, people don costumes, residents decorate their houses, and individuals and organizations create scarecrows. All are judged and awards bestowed. Scouts may use the parade to earn merit badges. McGowan recalls one troop that transformed a Volvo station wagon into a Ghostbusters car. The kids on the float all wore Ghostbuster one-piece jumpsuits and carried “proton packs” with “ammunition” against the ghosts all around. Businesses use the floats to advertise.

“The Bordentown Funeral Home always comes through with some extravagant item,” McGowan says. Two years ago, their float, whose theme is traditionally kept a surprise for the day of the parade, was a huge stagecoach drawn by four horses with the family in, atop, or alongside it. But floats need not be complicated. McGowan’s father’s philosophy emphasized broad inclusion of community members. “My dad was always a big proponent of ‘all you need is to put your kids in Halloween costumes and put them in the back of your truck with a couple of hay bales,’ and that was all that was needed to have a float in the parade—it didn’t have to be elaborate,” McGowan says. In fact, they give out a special trophy, the Steve McGowan Award, for the float that best “embodies his philosophy of how it is easy to be in the parade.” The parade also features marching units. One group from Maryland, 40 people strong, is the Baltimore Westsiders, a drill step team that has joined the parade for over 20 years. “They are always at the end of our parade, and people will walk the whole parade route with them,” McGowan says. “They don’t stop moving the whole time.” Another impressive group, from Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, is Riley’s Raiders, an adult drum and bugle corps. “They are the epitome of a performance band—marching in line, straight, in rows. They are quite a sight to see because they are very pristine.” Trophies for parade participants include: first and second place for best adult organization, float or marching unit, the best children’s organizations and the best businesses, as well as a special judges’ award for participants who may not fall into one of these categories or who the judges feel need to be recognized. Each year the committee picks as

parade marshal a person “from the surrounding community who has gone above and beyond to make Bordentown a better place,” McGowan says. Although they have not yet selected this year’s marshal, she offers two examples from past years. Last year it was Joe Malone, former state assemblyman and Bordentown mayor, who still organizes the yearly train show at Old City Hall and is a go-to person who uses his connections with organizations and agencies to help out people with their questions, problems or struggles. Another year it was Shirley Fisher, who in 1962 started a swim program— “Dr. Fisher probably taught 90 percent of the people in Bordentown to swim,” McGowan says—and her husband, Charles, a teacher in the Bordentown School District, where Shirley also taught and coached for five years. At 12:30 p.m., before the parade, anyone in costume can go to the St. Mary School parking lot to be judged for the masquerade contest, which has prizes for children, adults, families, and groups. “They have the option of walking in the parade or going home and watching with family and friends,” McGowan says. McGowan’s committee—Jean Kafer, treasurer; Micki Klinge, band coordinator; Anne Lyon, masqueraders coordinator; Nancy Walls, house decorating coordinator; Stephen Hodose, logistics coordinator, and Steve Hodose [Stephen’s father], historian—have each taken responsibility for a different part of the organizing process. Because all registrations now come through the website, bordentownhalloween.com, the organizing process has gotten a little easier. But they still need to get approvals from the city, the police department, and the public works department to ensure the parade’s safety, requiring several months of coordination. McGowan’s mother, Pat McGowan, and sister, Christy McGowan, also help field phone calls and answer questions and

are available the day of the parade to help handle any difficulties that come up. Over the past few years, the parade has added a house-decorating contest for residents of Bordentown City, Bordentown Township and Fieldsboro, who can register their houses on the website. “It has turned into a big deal—people have gotten very competitive,” McGowan says. Decorations can be as simple as cornstalks and spider webs, to elaborate lighted displays. On Brooks Avenue and Thompson Street, she adds, “they actually close the roads on Halloween night because so many people are walking down the street just to look at the houses.” The prizes are first, second, and third place ribbons that residents can display on Halloween night. In the past five years they have also added a scarecrow contest. Scarecrows can be registered on the website and are due at the firehouse on Saturday, October 13, at 9 a.m. At the First Baptist Church in Bordentown all the children build their own scarecrows. All scarecrows are judged and the winner receives “an awesome trophy,” McGowan says. The scarecrows are displayed around town on Farnsworth Avenue through the end of the month. The parade has also inspired other Halloween events. The Downtown Bordentown Association sponsors a Ghost Walk, usually the same weekend as the parade, and the Department of Public Works holds a haunted hayride. The parade is run entirely on donations, and if they don’t reach budget they have to make cuts, McGowan says. All the bands, including the high school band, get paid, masqueraders get cash prices and winning parade participants get trophies. Those wishing to help can mail donations to Consolidated Fire Association, PO Box 47, Bordentown, NJ 08505 or deposit them in orange trick or treat buckets that people will be carrying at the beginning and end of the parade. The parade will follow Elizabeth Street, then make a right onto Second, a left onto Park, then a left onto Farnsworth, a left onto East Union, then a left onto Crosswicks to the reviewing standing in front of the Clare Estates, then a turn onto Lafayette, and ending up back at Elizabeth. The parade is teaming up with the Kiwanis of Bordentown for their Annual Sock Drive. All participants and watchers are asked to bring new packaged socks that will be collected along the parade route. The goal is to collect 1,000 pairs of socks. McGowan was born and raised in Bordentown. Her father was a computer operator at McGraw-Hill, and her mother still works as water clerk for the City of Bordentown. McGowan graduated in 2004 from Arcadia University in Glenside, Pennsylvania outside Philadelphia. She worked as senior agent for Randstad USA for four and a half years and has been a recruiter at CoWorx Staffing in Princeton for nine years. Her father, McGowan says, was very involved in the Bordentown community, serving on the planning board and other committees. He was also very active in the Firehouse and Relief Association of the fire department, which “supports any local firefighter that might need relief or help in their normal, daily living,” McGowan says.

FOOD & DINING
Pumpkin carves out a spot on our plates each fall By Joe Emanski
jemanski@communitynews.org Pumpkin beer. Pumpkin muffins. Pumpkin ice cream. Pumpkin cheesecake. Pumpkin candles. For three months a year, pumpkins are everywhere. Until we reach Pumpkin Day, otherwise known as Thanksgiving, when by matter of cultural contract we agree to consume, for one extended weekend, the granddaddy of all pumpkin delicacies, pumpkin pie. And then lose all interest in seeing or eating pumpkins ever again, at least until next fall. Starbucks this year started selling its famous — or infamous — pumpkin spice latte on August 28, prompting an abundance of “can’t wait!” and “too early!” posts on social media. Because who would dream of finding consensus on Twitter? There are those who wonder, though, whether all this pumpkinmania isn’t some sort of con. They say it isn’t pumpkins that people fall in love with every fall. They say it is the comforting, warming spices that are typically matched up with pumpkin that give pumpkin dishes their signature aromas and flavors: cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, clove.
It wasn’t that long ago most of us were content to see pumpkins in two primary forms: as pie filling; and as the raw material for decorative jack o’lanterns. Maybe pumpkin ravioli was a thing. Maybe someone had a relative whose Halloween party bring-along was pumpkin bread. But those days are over. It’s a pumpkinspiced world, and we’d better get used to living in it. *** Pumpkin is a winter squash, one of many varieties that reaches maturity in the fall. Other popular varieties include butternut, acorn, spaghetti, delicata and kabocha. The myth abounds online that pumpkins are not an integral element of pumpkin-flavored food. Even Wikipedia reports that “pumpkin pie-flavored products … are generally not flavored with pumpkins, but rather pumpkin pie spices.” Attentive readers will note that there is no attribution given to this assertion.
Local chefs, bakers and brewers dismiss this notion. They say that pumpkins, or winter squash anyway, are central to all their pumpkin recipes, as are traditional pumpkin pie spices. The two have gone hand in hand for centuries. What is true is that some preparers rely on commercially produced puree rather than roasted whole pumpkins because of the convenience and consistency of the canned product. Lisa Parysz is the owner of The Cheesecake Lady in Hamilton. She says she couldn’t imagine making a pumpkin cheesecake without pumpkin, that the spices alone could never transform an ordinary cheesecake base into a convincing pumpkin treat. Pumpkins are necessary for texture and color. She has used fresh roasted pumpkins in the past, but uses canned puree today, saying that there isn’t enough of a difference in flavor to justify the additional time and effort required to roast the pumpkins. Chris Rakow is head brewer for River
Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, and clove give pumpkin dishes their signature aromas and flavors.
Horse Brewing Company in Ewing. Like many breweries these days, River Horse makes a pumpkin ale for release every autumn. Rakow also uses canned puree, saying it would be impractical for the brewery to roast fresh pumpkins for several reasons. One is that it would need a large commercial kitchen to roast the quantity of pumpkin it needs for the volume of pumpkin ale it produces. Another is that beer takes time to ferment, and fresh pumpkins aren’t yet available in late summer, when the brewing process has to start if the beer is to be ready for fall. He admits that pumpkins don’t contribute much in the way of fermentable sugar or pumpkin flavor to the beer, which has a brown ale base. But he says they are essential for providing a warm orange hue and distinctive, smooth mouthfeel. River Horse does use whole dried spices, not granulated ones, in its beer. Gab Carbone is a co-owner of The Bent Spoon in Princeton, a boutique ice cream shop that has become known for its unusual flavors and commitment to using fresh, locally grown ingredients. She says The Bent Spoon does indeed roast fresh cheese pumpkins every year for its pumpkin ice cream.

Pumpkin ice cream from The Bent Spoon. Cheese pumpkins are so named because they are flattish and yellowish, resembling rounds of cheese, and Carbone feels that they have a more intense pumpkin flavor than other varieties. It’s not easy roasting them, she says, but The Bent Spoon has been making pumpkin ice cream since it opened in 2004, and has the process down by now. Carbone says pumpkin ice cream is basically a frozen pumpkin custard, and that while quality whole spices are important to the flavor, the texture and earthiness of the custard could only come from actual pumpkin. The Bent Spoon also makes a pumpkin sorbet, the flavor of which she says is even more intense. She can think of one pumpkin flavor purveyor whose pumpkin-flavored treats don’t contain actual pumpkin: Starbucks. “We all know there’s no pumpkin puree in their coffee,” she says. *** New Jersey farmers plant pumpkin seeds in July, anticipating that they will be ready for market by the end of September or early October. The bulbous, occasionally enormous pumpkins commonly seen on hay rides and grinning from front porches are edible, but they are not the tastiest winter squash in the world. One local farmer calls these “face pumpkins.” The truth is that many pumpkins and squash are fairly similar in flavor, with starchy orange flesh surrounding a riot of pulp and seeds. The standard preparation calls for cooks to scoop out the pulp and seeds and roast the flesh until tender. It’s in the subtleties of the flavor differences that chefs and bakers find their favorite squash for culinary use. Face pumpkins have high water content, which makes them inefficient for roasting. Some say that sugar pumpkins, which are typically rounder and more compact than face pumpkins, have the best flavor. Others, like Carbone, prefer cheese pumpkins. The kabocha squash, also known as Japanese pumpkin, is growing in popularity among local chefs. This year at Great Road Farm in Skillman, farmer Kyle Goedde is growing a lot of cinnamon girl, a kind of sugar pumpkin, as well as some kabocha squash. Goedde says that pumpkins make up about a quarter of the total volume of winter squash he hopes to harvest this year. He’s also growing butternut, kabocha, delicata, spaghetti, and a variety called Blue Hubbard (which, yes, is actually blue). Great Road Farm is different from most farms in that it has one chief client:
Fenwick Hospitality Group. Entrepreneur Jim Nawn owns both operations. For a number of years, most of Great Road Farm’s produce went to one restaurant: Agricola, on Witherspoon Street. But in the last year, Nawn and Fenwick Hospitality Group have added three new restaurants: The Dinky Bar and Kitchen, Cargot Brasserie, and Two Sevens Eatery and Cantina, all in Princeton. Today Great Road Farm provides all four restaurants, as well as Fenwick’s catering operation, with fresh ingredients. Goedde works with Fenwick’s chefs to decide what crops to grow. “I try to have individual meetings with each of the head chefs of the restaurants,” Goedde says. “They give me ideas about what they want, and I’ll kind of give them back an idea of what we can do.” One of those who depends on the hard work of Goedde and his staff is Chef Mitresh Saraiya of Agricola, who is getting ready to put some pumpkin and winter squash items on his menu. “At Agricola, we change our menu once every three to four weeks, which allows us to highlight ingredients that are at their peak in that very moment, as well as anything that’s moving out of season,” he says. With the pumpkin harvest just coming in, Saraiya hasn’t made any dishes with it just yet, but he is making plans. In years past, he says, Agricola has done plenty of pumpkin and squash soups. “Squash and pumpkins lend themselves as a sweet component, a starchy component and a vegetal component,” he says. “With a little bit of onion and pumpkin spice, they can become this beautiful thing that you don’t need to add dairy or gluten to get the right mouthfeel as well.” Agricola has featured pumpkin desserts as well, including pumpkin creme brulee and pumpkin ice cream. Saraiya says one memorable one was pumpkin bread pudding, made with roasted pumpkin folded into a brioche dough. “The bread itself has pumpkin flavor, then we make a pumpkin egg wash and blend it all together.” For this year, Saraiya’s preliminary plans include a squash or pumpkin soup made with pumpkin spice foam and poached pears. He’s also considering bringing back a dish from last year, squash gnocchi. For that dish he roasts squash and pumpkin, drain it, and fold into Agricola’s house ricotta gnocchi batter. This process yields a slightly orange dough that can be cut and poached. Saraiya says that the ubiquity of pumpkin spice in pumpkin and squash dishes is something that chefs wrestle with as they seek to create original dishes from scratch. He says one thing he does is to adjust the ratios among the spices, based on what he thinks will work best with a particular squash. Many chefs also tend to accent their squash dishes with sage, especially as the days get colder. Saraiya says that is definitely an easy direction to go in, which is why he’s trying to steer clear of it. He wants to give his diners something different to think about. “I’m leaning more toward tarragon,” he says. “I was working with it (and squash) just a few days ago, and it felt like I want tarragon and squash to be my profile this year.”

Bordentown resident keeping opponents out of Hun net
By Rich Fisher At age 10, all was well in the soccer world of Leah Sutphen. And then her travel team goalie left to play softball, which forced her to don the keeper gloves. It would be nice to report that it was a remarkable debut and everyone in attendance instantly exclaimed “That little girl has a bright future as a goalie!” But… “I was awful,” Sutphen said. “I let in eight goals during my first game in net. It was definitely difficult to adjust to the position.” What everyone in attendance did not realize was, they actually were looking at a future goalie. “I quickly learned to love it,” she said. Not just love it, but excel at it. The Bordentown resident is now in her fourth season in goal for the Hun School and helped the Raiders to a Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) co-championship last Fall. With so many players graduated, her role has intensified as a senior. “I really think she is the key to our season,” coach Joanna Hallac said. “We’re a little young this year, there’s gonna be pressure on the back line and pressure on her and I think if she does

(Staff photo by Samantha Sciarrotta.) what I imagine she will do, she’ll be the key to repeating and a key to that success. Obviously we’re a team, one person doesn’t make or break you; but having one keeper everyone is confident in and you know is going to be there for you if that mistake happens, I think
really is going to be a difference maker for us.” Sutphen comes off a campaign in which she made a career-high 128 saves. She recorded shutouts in the Raiders’ first two games this season against Ewing and George. She hopes to play
in college but is unsure where, saying that, “I plan on an academically challenging school with a competitive soccer program.” Soccer has been a Sutphen outlet since age 6. She started in Bordentown rec before moving on to the Bordentown Union travel team from ages 8 to 11. From there she joined the New Jersey Rush “to challenge myself even more.” The challenge grew three years later when she went to Player Development Academy at age 14. “This was the most important move for me,” assured Sutphen. “This club has a great reputation, coaches and competition. I’ve been at PDA for four years, and I wouldn’t do it any other way.” Hallac completely approves of the way Sutphen has done it. While she does focus on soccer for much of the year, Sutphen also plays basketball for Hun and is a record-setting javelin thrower on the Raiders track and field team. “I want my kids to play more sports; I think the biggest challenge they come up against with that is their club coaches,” Hallac said. “The high school coaches grew up playing three sports, too, and want that diversity. She plays PDA year-round but makes it work to play three sports, and that helps her

become a better soccer player. It all feeds into one another.” Sutphen agreed fully, saying, “I know without a doubt that playing two other sports improves my game.” The obvious question is, how? “Basketball helps me improve with my footwork and handling skills, and track helps me with my conditioning and leadership skills,” Sutphen said. “Playing a sport each season allows me to keep in shape, and manage my time a lot better because I don’t have much free time.” Hallac added, “the work you do in basketball with defensive slides can help with your footwork in soccer. The throwing a javelin gives you the upper body strength you need as a goalkeeper.” The coach feels it goes beyond even that. “It’s also good for her body,” she said. “The repetitive motion of just focusing on the muscles of one sport is really bad for them. It makes them more injury prone. Leah excels in all her sports, but her passion is soccer.” Sutphen won’t argue with that. “Soccer is the beautiful game,” she said. “It takes an entire, focused team to play well and come out with a victory. It’s a fluid game that demands grit, team-
work, and consistency in order to play well as a whole.” Most people would think that when it comes to a goalie, that it also demands height. At 5-foot-7, Sutphen is living proof that’s not always the case. She makes up for it with athletic ability, desire that goes beyond the norm, and a true feel for the position. “She’s one of the best athletes I’ve ever coached,” Hallac said. “Even though she’s 5-7 her vertical leap, her ability to judge the ball when it’s in the air, her ability to come out and win the ball, it’s all there. When you’re going up against her in the air on a cross, she’s gonna be right there in your face. She really is the whole package.” Like most undersized athletes who excel, she has that chip on her shoulder and won’t be intimidated. “Crosses have always been something that I was pretty good at,” Sutphen said. “I don’t think that people assume that about me, especially players on opposing teams. I honestly don’t mind, because I love proving people wrong and showing them that I won’t be underestimated. I think I do well with crosses because I am aggressive, not afraid of contact, and willing to come out for almost anything.”
‘I really think she is the key to our season.’ –Hun girls’ soccer coach Joanna Hallac on Bordentown resident Leah Sutphen
Not surprisingly, her biggest weakness early in high school was on high balls. Hallac was impressed at how much Leah improved on that aspect between her sophomore and junior seasons by educating herself on how to approach them. “High balls have always been my weak point, and I usually just used my height as an excuse for that,” Sutphen said. “But over the past two years I have worked a lot on plyometrics to improve my vertical (leap). This helped a lot with the jumping component, but I also worked a lot on my timing. Putting the two together was the key for perfecting high ball saves.” Two other components a goalie must have is the ability to lead and to be able to shrug off bad goals and maintain focus. Being a team captain, it’s obvious Sutphen has the first quality. As for the second, she feels no keeper can survive without it. “The key to being a good goalie is thick skin,” she said. “This position is not that easy or praised much. It takes a while to master the plethora of skills that a keeper needs for the game, and even then mistakes are bound to happen. A good goalie is one who can instantly forget about a goal being scored, or a mistake in the back. Mistakes are so obvious; for a goalie especially, because they usually lead to goals or scoring opportunities for the other team. Thick skin allows for you to acknowledge your mistakes, and correct them after the game.” It took a while, however, for her to grow that extra layer of skin. “I haven’t always had that mindset,” she
said. “It took me years to develop the attitude of not dwelling on a mistake. I used to be so hard on myself whenever I made one, but I realized over time that having that kind of attitude leads to more mistakes, and puts my teammates in a worse place. I need to be encouraging to my team, so being down on myself and worrying about my mistakes is not an option.” Fortunately for Sutphen and Hun, she makes a whole lot less than she did in that 10-year-old debut.
