INSIDE:

A talented, concrete surfing emcee from Ewing is taking the area’s hip hop scene by storm. On one recent Tuesday night—the official night for open jams at bars in this area— Grizzie Ray is at Championship Bar on Chambers Street in Trenton, and the stage is set. The funky stage lights beam down, casting a purple shadow on the rotating band. There are no cover songs allowed, so the jam night drummer is improvising a beat. The bassist and guitarist sync up their rhythm, and someone else is tapping electric piano keys. They’ve just settled into a spontaneously composed hard edge funk tune when Grizzie, a young man from Ewing, grabs the microphone. Grizzie Ray, born Gregory Peterson, first began rapping at age 15 while living in Atlanta. He still calls it, “down South.” This was between 2005 and 2010 during the Outkast days. His freestyle skills are impressive, and he works the stage like a seasoned pro. He’s sure of himself, and for his first time on this stage seems to embrace the Champs jam night concept: “let’s get weird.” See GRIZZIE RAY, Page 8

around town Steinmann, Wollert and Steward re-elected Ewing Mayor Bert Steinmann was re-elected on Nov. 4, handily defeating challenger Ron Prykanowski by a more than 3 to 1 margin. The mayor’s running mates—Democrat incumbents Kathleen Wollert and Sarah Steward, were re-elected to council. According to unofficial results from the Mercer County Clerk’s Office, Steinmann received 9,969 votes (77.53 percent) and Prykanowski got 2,879 (22.39 percent. In the council race, Wollert was the top vote-getter with 9,636 (38.86 percent), followed by Steward with 9,442 (38.08 percent). Independent challengers Richard LaRossa and Kathleen McKinley received 2,902 (11.7 percent) and 2,809 (11.33 percent) votes, respectively. Three seats were up for grabs in the Ewing School Board election, but only two candidates — incumbents Lisa Hall McConnell and Anthony Messina — ran. Deborah Delutis won a write-in campaign for the third open seat. Delutis has served as president of the Parkway School PTA and is in her fourth year as president of the Fisher Parent Association.

Ewing High senior takes the stage with Philly POPS When the Philly POPS Orchestra took the stage at the Trenton War Memorial in early October, they were joined by a special guest conductor.

BRAND NEW FACILITY!

Andrew Ashton, a senior member of the instrumental music program at Ewing High School who serves as the senior drum major, adroitly led the legendary orchestra in John Philip Sousa’s “The Liberty Bell – March.” On Sept. 20, the Philly POPS Brass

Ensemble came to Ewing High School and held an assembly for all chorus, orchestra and band members. At the end of the assembly, Ashton was nominated from EHS to conduct one song with the Philly POPS at the War Memorial concert, which was a fundraiser for St. Lawrence Rehabilitation Center. Ashton worked with Philly POPS Conductor Michael Krajewski before the concert and was able to see the backstage workings for the event. He was also given a conducting baton signed by Krajewski as a souvenir and interviewed by media covering the event. Ashton is a senior at EHS who is a member of the National Honor Society who has been in the EHS Marching Band for all four years, as well as the jazz band and pit orchestra for the spring musical. Also an athlete, Ashton is gearing up for his fourth year as a standout diver with the Ewing swimming and diving team and hopes to compete in the state competition this year. He is also a proud member of EHS baseball team. “Andrew is one of our most wellrounded and strongest students,” district humanities supervisor Jim Woidill said in a statement. “He is an excellent ambassador of Ewing High School and by all reports, did an outstanding job as guest conductor.”

Patriotic Committee honors WW I Medal of Honor recipient Nov. 11, 2018 marked the centennial anniversary of Armistice Day. One hundred years ago, “the guns fell silent” and the Great War ended. Today we call it World War I. The American Expeditionary Forces were well over 2 million men and one of them was First Sgt. Benjamin Kaufman, a true American Hero. Kaufman was born in Buffalo, New York, and raised in the Bronx. It wasn’t until after the war that he settled in the greater Ewing area. Kaufman was drafted into the U.S. Army, not unlike millions of other men. He was assigned to Company K, 308th Infantry. The young athletic Kaufman was liked and respected by his peers. He was fast tracked to the rank of first sergeant, the senior enlisted man in a company. Kaufman immediately established himself as a warrior leader. While rescuing some of his men he was temporarily blinded by a gas artillery shell. He refused medical assistance and disobeyed orders to remain at the hospital. He stole a uniform and returned to his unit. However, this did result in court marshal charges that were later dropped by officers that could see Kaufman’s true character. One of the major battles fought in World War I was in the Argonne. This is where Kaufman cemented his legacy of selfless service to his comrades and heroism. The following is the Medal of Honor citation: “While serving in an advance detail in the Argonne on Oct. 4, 1918, Kaufman and his men came under heavy fire from a German machine gun. Two of his men were wounded. Kaufman realized that he had to silence the machine gun before help could reach the wounded men. “Kaufman was struck in the arm by an

With his shattered, bleeding right arm hanging limp at his side, Kaufman advanced on the enemy with an empty pistol, lobbing hand grenades with his left arm. He eventually reached the German position, scattering the machine gun crew and captured a German soldier.

“Kaufman returned to the American lines with his prisoner. He fainted from the loss of blood after revealing the position of the German lines, which made it possible for the Americans to move forward.” For his actions during the war Kaufman received awards for bravery

from nine foreign governments and on April 12, 1919, the United States awarded him the Congressional Medal of Honor. After the war, he became active in the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America, serving as national commander 1941–1942, and the executive director from 1945 to 1959. He was also a commander of the New Jersey Council of the Disabled American Veterans of the World War and a National Vice Commander of the National Legion of Valor. During World War II, he was director of the War Manpower Commission in New Jersey. First Sergeant Kaufman never stopped serving. He died on Feb. 5, 1981 at the Mercer Medical Center at the age of 86 and is buried in Ewing Township at the Fountain Lawn Memorial Cemetery. The Ewing Patriotic Committee felt compelled to remember him on the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day. So on the 11th hour, of the 11th day and 11th month of 2018, members of the Ewing Patriotic Committee, joined by a Ewing Kiwanis member, conducted a memorial ceremony at First Sergeant Kaufman’s grave site. The ceremony included reading his Medal of Honor citation, a prayer, the playing of TAPS and placing a flag, flowers and stones beside his marker. Today we are too quick to apply the moniker of warrior and hero. Not so when you describe Kaufman. He was an unwavering patriot and a genuine national treasure. Rick Ryczkowski Ryczkowski is a retired U.S. Army colonel and vice president of the Ewing Patriotic Committee.

everyone will feel more comfortable once they know who the successor is.” Besler spoke to his team the week after the season ended to make sure things would continue to progress in the gap before a new head coach is named. “I’ve already set up what needs to be done with the returning guys,” Besler said. “I met with my team and asked for their support with the younger guys and helping them in the weight room and policing them and keeping them out of trouble and making sure everyone is doing their work. I have a really good senior class and I think they’ll be able to help in that area.” Besler was set to start at his new position after Thanksgiving. He received his master’s in education administration from Rider University in 2009, but hadn’t used the advanced degree until he had an opportunity to work closer to home and further his career in education.

BESLER continued from Page 1 at the point where it’s costing time with my own. I looked at it as it’s time to go. I wasn’t even looking for it. A former coach that I worked with told me there was an opening and I applied and I got it.” Ewing will begin looking to replace Besler, who went 31-37 in his seven seasons as head coach. He made the playoffs three times, including a 7-4 season in 2016 marked by their first playoff win in 14 years. Ewing finished 6-4 this year after a 12-7 win over Hamilton sent Besler out with a win on Nov. 10. “The search will start immediately because the sooner you can find somebody you’re comfortable with and really like as a program, you want to do that,” said Ewing athletic director Bud Kowal. “Football’s not really just a fall season sport, it’s really 12 months out of the year. You have kids that aren’t involved in other sports working out in the weight room starting in January. We have assistant coaches that will help out with that until someone is named. I think

GRIZZIE RAY continued from Page 1 In an interview after the performance, Peterson talks about the times when, although he was young, hip hop was still real. “Then, hip hop culture was turning into rap. Hip hop stands for ‘Higher Infinite Power Healing Our People’ according to Professor Griff (of Public Enemy). Now its about degradation and money rather than having goals and morals,” he says. “Rappers sagging their pants and murdering people, that’s not healing us. It’s turning us against each other. Nowadays, everything is about the same thing,” he says. Peterson, who recently turned 23, grew up here for 11 years before moving to Atlanta for five. He’s been back for several years now. He attended Ewing High School and lives across the railroad tracks on the Ewing side of Stuyvesant Avenue. It’s just behind the Trenton Psychiatric Hospital and close to the newly repaved Lower Ferry Road. Getting around the area has to be more fun now. He goes everywhere on his super sleek new skateboard. “Its one of the very fastest skateboards of all time,” he says. “It’s called a Penny board. It’s a board with wings. I call myself a concrete surfer. Actually, it’s ‘retro-suburban anti-gravity concrete surfer,’” he says. Peterson was a volunteer for the Trenton Downtown Association during the Levitt AMP Music Series this past summer. He says that it takes eight minutes tops to ride from his neighborhood to Mill Hill Park where the concert series was held. “It feels that fast. I’ve had it for just a couple of months. I cement surf. Its a means of transportation. I don’t do it just to do it. People are like, ‘do a trick!’ They don’t know it’s not that serious. I’m just a Penny boarder,” he says. When he’s not freestyling at Trenton area open mic nights, like at Champs or the regular Saturday afternoon open mic at Starbucks on Front Street, he’s a game tech at Colonial Lanes on Route 1 in Lawrence. He speaks about being well-rounded and how difficult it can be to remain a “good guy” when faced with conflict. That’s when the subject of his rap name and his alter ego, Peter Darkerr (a play on Peter Parker of Spiderman fame), comes up. “Grizzie Ray came from down South when I got into rapping,” he says. “My

Hip hop artist Gregor y Peterson, a Ewing resident, goes by the stage name Grizzie Ray. favorite rapper back then was Drizzie (Drake). My favorite Atlanta rapper was B.O.B. whose full name is Bobby Ray, so I put mine together as a tribute to both of them. “Peter Darkerr is Grizzie Ray’s alter ego. A supervisor named Priscilla that I worked with at a restaurant at Mercer Mall named me that,” he says. As he describes the way he came up with the name, he shares how his passion for comic books and other forces in his life that spark his imagination help him deal with hardships and slide as easily past negativity as he does with his penny board on the road. “Part of the discipline for Peter Darkerr is the same as Peter Parker. This guy is heroic, amazing, awkward, humble, very talented, a really good guy. But if everyone knew that about him, imagine how many enemies he’d have,” he says. “This alter ego is something not too many people know about. My stage name is Grizzie Ray. Peter Darkerr is the extreme side of Grizzie. The ultimate creator. To know Peter Darkerr, you’ve got to know Grizzie Ray first. I never liked the name Greg. It’s such a ‘Gregular’ name,” he says. He doesn’t want for confidence. He’s got a vision and a plan and doesn’t hesi-

tate to lay it out when asked. His planned album, when it’s released, will be titled, The Awkward Adventures of a Kid Called Grizzie Ray. He’s created an animated character based on himself that accompanies the music. Mewanhile, he may not have a favorite skateboarder, yet he certainly has favorite emcees. “My top five are Eminem, Tupac, Logic, J. Cole and…Grizzie Ray,” he says. In October, Peterson performed at a book fair at The Orchid House, the arts collective on East Hanover Street in Trenton this month. He worked along side Daniel Babij, 41, an emcee, beat producer and DJ from Hamilton who also frequents the Tuesday night open jam at Champs and goes by the name DJ Alien. “Dan has the same personality as me, we see things the same way. It’s always best whenever you’re doing business with someone that its someone who understands you and that you feel comfortable with, he says.” Babij says he can imagine a career for Peterson based not on money and status, but on great lyrics and creativity. Those latter qualities seem to prevail here in this area, as the big money “Hollywood” mentality is frowned upon. It’s a close knit creative community here and artists tend to lean on each other and lift each other up. “I like Grizzie. He’s creative. He writes. Lyrically, he has substance,” Babij says. “He’s talking about the things happening in the world. He’s got good energy. He’s outrageous at times and funny. New school gets with that old school style with him.”

Babij goes on to talk about the nature of party music in hip hop. “Back in the day we also had party songs, but we had socially conscious music too,” he says. “Now it seems that’s all there is. We can party, but part of being an artist is also talking about what’s going on in the world.” Babij wants Paterson to push some productive ideas forward, and to continue to market his brand, with his help. They’ll plan to create a Band Camp site for Grizzie Ray, and get a few EPs recorded. “I see the evolution of Grizzie Ray,” Babij says. “I see how he can put things in motion and how he works that out, being involved in the hip hop community with its DIY nature. I see more shows at Champs and at Mill Hill Basement, and learning how to monetize his work and booking him for more events and even touring out of state to build his experience. I especially like artists like Grizzie Ray because there’s more there than just party music. He talks about real life.” When Peterson speaks about the future, he’s both collaborative and resolute. He wears a somber silver dog tag with his name, Grizzie Ray, on it and Converse all-stars with playful checkered laces, the perfect combination of his humility and his sense of fun. “I picture myself sitting at a table at Comic Con telling my story,” he says. “If anything, I want Dan to be my manager and producer and partner in crime. And when they find my body somewhere — if I get kidnapped by the illuminati,” he says with a chuckle, “they’ll know I didn’t sell my soul. They’ll know I was a soldier ’til the end.”

New Specialists Join Capital Health’s Stroke & Cerebrovascular Center

With a reputation for providing advanced care to patients with complex, neurological conditions affecting the brain and spine, Capital Institute for Neurosciences recently welcomed two new advanced specialists, Drs. Vernard Fennell and Varun Naragum, to the Institute’s Stroke and Cerebrovascular Center team. They join neurosurgeon Dr. Michael F. Stiefel in providing some of the latest techniques to care for stroke patients. DR. VERNARD FENNELL is a dual fellowship trained neurosurgeon specializing in cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgery, with additional expertise in microsurgery, skull base surgery, brain and spine tumors, spine trauma and reconstruction as well as epilepsy surgery. In addition to his clinical experience, Dr. Fennell has a strong background in research, including early contributions to the design of the new EMBOTRAP II Revascularization Device, a next generation stent-retriever that safely removes blood clots from arteries in the brain that are causing a stroke. “I’m thrilled to be part of an organization that is so passionate about innovation,” said Dr. Fennell, who soon after joining Capital Health became the first dual-trained neurosurgeon in New Jersey (and among the first in the country) to use the new FDA-approved EMBOTRAP II Revascularization Device.

Dr. Fennell was also involved in some of the initial research on the device’s design. DR. VARUN NARAGUM, an interventional neurologist and neurohospitalist, is board certified in neurology and vascular neurology and was fellowship trained in neurology, vascular neurology, and endovascular surgical neuroradiology. He uses minimally invasive neuroendovascular techniques to treat conditions like aneurysms, stroke, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs), atherosclerosis, brain tumors, and head and neck tumors. Neuroendovascular procedures access the brain using a small incision in the groin and a catheter that is threaded to the part of the brain being affected by vascular disease. “Each case is unique, but those patients who are appropriate candidates for neuroendovascular procedures experience less pain, shorter hospital stays, and less risk of complications,” said Dr. Naragum. “Being able to offer advanced treatment like this demonstrates Capital Health’s commitment to being a leader in all aspects of neuroscience and stroke care.”

Visit capitalneuro.org to learn more about the Stroke and Cerebrovascular Center and the Capital Institute for Neurosciences. If you or someone you know is experiencing signs of a stroke, CALL 911.

While screening the general population for pancreatic cancer is not recommended, there are high risk groups who should consider screening. “In addition to family history concerns, adults older than age 45 are at greater risk, as are those who are overweight or have diabetes,” said Dr. Rogart. “Men and African Americans are also diagnosed more frequently, and controllable risk factors like smoking and heavy alcohol use can increase the risk very significantly.” Providers at Capital Health have specialized training, including subspecialty fellowships, in the field of pancreatic cancer and can recommend a plan and tests based on an individual’s personal risk factors and a comprehensive medical history review. Options May Include: … Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS): EUS is the most accurate test for identifying and diagnosing pancreatic cancer and pre-cancerous cysts. During the procedure, a sample of suspicious tissue or a cyst may be obtained as an alternative to exploratory surgery or other invasive testing. … Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) … Computed Tomography (CT) Scan

Helping CHRONIC WOUNDS Heal Faster For those with diabetes or poor circulation, an injury or wound to the legs and feet can be slow to heal. For almost 30 years, residents in Mercer and adjacent counties have relied on Capital Health’s certified wound care team of physicians and nurses to provide comprehensive health care for patients with chronic wounds and hyperbaric oxygen therapy for those with qualifying conditions. “Wound care is unique in that there is no official specialization like other fields of medicine. Treating complex wounds takes a multidisciplinary approach to cover all facets of diagnosis and treatment, and at Capital Health, each patient benefits from our collaborative expertise to receive personalized evaluation and treatment based on the latest best practices,” said DR. DANIEL LEE, director of the Vascular Laboratory and former director of the Center for Wound Management at Capital Health. Using the team approach, each patient’s needs are assessed and a plan of care is implemented and shared with each

patient’s referring physician. Treatment options can include wound debridement, growth factor application, lymphedema compression therapy, wound coverage with skin substitutes, skin grafts and flaps, endovascular revascularization procedures, as well as hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments.

blood to carry more oxygen to a wound site or injured tissue and speed up the healing process,” said DR. MANISH GUGNANI, former director of the Center for Hyperbaric Medicine at Capital Health.

As the first established wound care program in Mercer and Bucks counties, Capital Health was also one of the first programs in the region to introduce hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), a well-established additional treatment to help those with diabetic wounds or ulcers heal faster.

Capital Health’s Center for Wound Management & Hyperbaric Medicine, located at Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell, treats all wounds that have not shown signs of healing, including: … Acute burns … Arterial and venous ulcers

Diabetes can cause nerve disease or neuropathy that causes a loss of sensation in the feet and legs, causing severe wounds to go unnoticed for long periods of time. The delay in recognition of a wound can make very treatable wounds more complex and exposed to infection. “HBOT provides more oxygen-rich blood to complex wounds, which helps increase the rate of healing for complex wounds and decrease the chance of infection. It involves breathing 100 percent oxygen in a pressurized chamber, which enables the

MEET OUR MEDICAL DIRECTOR Capital Health’s Center for Wound Management & Hyperbaric Medicine recently welcomed a new medical director, DR. FREDERICK SAILES, a surgeon and a certified wound specialist physician (CWSP) with hyperbaric oxygen therapy certification. Dr. Sailes completed his residency in general surgery at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, PA and completed his fellowship training in hand surgery and plastic surgery at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, MS. “I’m honored to join my esteemed colleagues here at Capital Health, whose level of commitment to patient care in our region is unmatched when it comes to helping those who have exhausted all other resources to help heal their chronic wounds. I look forward to joining the multidisciplinary team in continuing to expand our wound management services to patients and referring physicians,” said Dr. Sailes.

GET ONE 2 LITER SODA FREE Hair by Rhonda Kay may have just opened in 2017 but judging by the volume of clientele, you would think it was here forever. The multi-cultural salon is conveniently located at 1569 Parkway Avenue, owned and operated by master stylist, Rhonda Cormier, who is also a long-time resident in the area. Rhonda’s success is a classic story of determination and following her dream. “As a child, I was always fascinated by my older sister as she studied cosmetology in high school. As she practiced on me, I always paid close attention. I learned a lot just by watching her. Soon after graduating, my sister moved to New Jersey and opened her own salon. When it was time to choose my future, I decided on a corporate career. “Despite my decision, my heart was always drawn back to hair styling. As a single parent with two children, I took a leap of faith and moved to New Jersey in 2005 to be with my sister. As my mentor, my rock and supporter, my sister helped me to start over. I went back to school, this time for cosmetology, and here I am,” Rhonda says proudly. Formerly of Shades Hair Studio, Rhonda has 15+ years of experience in the beauty industry. In 2016, Rhonda felt ready to go out on her own and renovate the space on Parkway Avenue. “I am devoted to giving my clients healthy hair. I specialize in all types of hair and have extensive experience with curly hair textures and natural hair. Attending classes

and product knowledge seminars on a regular basis keeps me updated on new products and trends. I educate each of my clients on how to properly maintain their hair.” As part of her emphasis on maintaining healthy hair, Rhonda specializes in Microlink Extensions. These require no glue or braiding, and therefore cause no damage to the natural hair. “This technique is particularly effective for my mature clients who may be experiencing thinning. Microlink extensions add volume and can last up to two years with proper maintenance,” Rhonda says. “Microlinks are so versatile that they can be used on extremely short hair. This means that anyone recovering from hair loss after chemotherapy does not have to wait too long to enhance their look while their own hair grows back.” Rhonda has expanded her staff to include Priscilla Sonpon, stylist, and Iesha Smalls, assistant and stylist in training. “We offer a full range of services, including haircuts, relaxers, thermal silkening, color, highlights, twists, spiral sets, loc maintenance, and keratin treatments.” Hair by Rhonda Kay offers 20 percdent off all services for new clients on their first visit. Come in and see how healthy your hair can be! Extended hours are on Wednesdays and Fridays until 8pm. Visit HairbyRhondaKay.com for more information.

Rutter, and a piece written for the group by Westminster alumnus Michael Robert Smith, “Dormi Jesu.” The concert program also will include spirituals, a Benjamin Britten piece and “Silent Night” arranged by Ryan Brandau, director of Princeton Pro Musica. Anderson describes the chorale’s sound as “warm, blended and welcoming.” It is the result, he says, of “the shared musical background of the choristers and their ability to not only be a choir, but a family. “We are excited to partner with the ensemble from Princeton Girlchoir. The Girlchoir is one of the finest musical organizations in the area and Dr. (Lynnell) Jenkins is a masterful teacher and conductor.” The ensemble will have a mid-year concert in February, singing “songs in the African American tradition,” in the 1867 Sanctuary, and in the spring Glassbrook will sing the story of a life from birth to death, according to Anderson. When members named the ensemble, they wanted to signify transparency, and chose the word glass, and forward movement, choosing the word brook. “We liked Glassbrook because it seemed to be rooted but moving,” Anderson explains. Anderson grew up in New Castle County, Delaware, to a musical family. His mother was a singer who sang in church, and his father was a DJ who died young, but played the

piano and sang. One uncle is a jazz musician and the family was active signing in church. He credits the “amazing” teachers he had during grade school and at Westminster, from where he graduated in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in music and studied choral arts, performance, conducting, and music education. He started as a music education major, and is not surprised he ended up teaching, at Montclair Kimberly Academy, a coeducational k-12 private school, where he is director of middle school choirs. He admits, though, that teaching all day is not good for the singing voice. “We just have to be diligent that we are taking good care of ourselves!” Anderson has conducted and taught for several area music groups such as Princeton Girlchoir and Trenton Children’s Chorus. In addition to performing with the Westminster Choir, he has performed with several choral ensembles including the Philadelphia Orchestra, Philadelphia Symphonic Choir, Princeton Pro Musica, and VOICES Chorale of Hopewell. A tenor, he is a keyboardist Glassbrook assistant director Emily Vite met Anderson at a summer music workshop and has a lot in common with members of the group. She holds a bachelor’s degree in music theory and composition from St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minn., where she served as the alto section leader for the St. Olaf Choir. She has served as assistant conductor for the VOICES Chorale in Hopewell and as concert manager and a director for the Trenton Chil-

‘We try to provide captivating concert programs that cater to the modern audience,’ Anderson said.

dren’s Chorus. She is the director of the Joyful Noise choir at Nassau Presbyterian Church, music teacher at Princeton Friends School, music theory instructor for the Honors Music Program at Westminster Conservatory, and is a collaborative pianist and private piano instructor at the Chapin School. After she graduated from St. Olaf, she moved home to New Jersey “looking for opportunities to continue making music,” she says. “I was lucky to meet a group of people in my home town who had similar musical training to what I had experienced at St. Olaf. We started singing together because it was fun!” She shares Glassbrook’s vision for bringing the community together through music. “When I speak to members of the audience after concerts, I am always amazed to see that the joy I experience as a singer is shared by those who hear us,” she says. “I believe more connects us than divides us, and we can come together through the power of shared musical experiences. Glassbrook is doing exactly that, bringing these unifying experiences to the community.” As the vocal ensemble moves forward, the directors would like to see more concerts in collaboration with local groups that will be meaningful for the choir and engaging for our audiences. The mission is, after all, to build and connect with the community, through choral music. “We hope to build roots and connections in Ewing and Trenton, and expand their musical palate,” says Anderson. “We hope the people of Ewing, Trenton, and other immediate surrounding areas feel a sense of ownership and pride when thinking about the choir and that we are successfully bringing the community together through music.”

Adopt-a-Survivor Program Begins at Ewing High School

The Ewing Public Schools Schools

Teacher of the Year Recipients are Honored Youth Mental Health First

Happy Holidays!

Nearly sixty years since Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps, the now elderly survivors of the Holocaust are turning to a new generation to preserve their testimony about their wartime experiences for future generations. Holocaust survivors are steadily dwindling in number. Many have made it their mission to educate the world that anti-Semitism and racism easily lead to murder, and to speak about the horrors they and their suffered.

At EHS Kindness is Contagious The Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) Committee is the heart of the kindness movement at Ewing High whose aim is to help everyone create a better school climate by spreading awareness and increasing engagement in kind actions. We invite you to be a part of the MOVEMENT! The RAK Committee allows students to promote the kindness of simple acts. If they have witnessed any incidents of kindness or someone has done something nice for them students are urged to nominate that person through a simple form that is filled out and submitted to the RAK Committee. Those students are then recognized with a certificate and mentioned over the afternoon announcements for their kindness! The RAK Wreath that hangs in the entrance of our school hallways symbolizes each act of kindness performed. Remember KINDNESS is contagious!

FMS & TCNJ Join Forces Fisher Middle School and The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) have joined forces to run a mentoring program (Stay In To Win) between the TCNJ Basketball Players (mentors) and a group of middle school students. The purpose of the group is to emphasize the importance of education and to model positive leadership skills. The group meets once a month to discuss topics like leadership qualities, the importance of education, appropriate choices and consequences of poor choices; using hardships as motivation for positive change, handling emotions appropriately, and success. A BIG thank you to Coach Goldsmith & Assistant Coach Elberg for taking the time to set up the

mentors; ShopRite in Ewing for the snack donations and Mr. Al Foderaro, who is the originator of “Stay In To Win”, for donating the "Stay In To Win" t-shirts for group members.

Welcome to the return of Referendum Roundup! In early October, the citizens of Ewing Township voted to pass Referendum ’18, which will provide the funding for healthier, safer and more modern schools for the next generation of Ewing students. We thank all who participated. We wanted to provide you an update of what has occurred since that date: The administration and our consultants are currently in the final design phase of the approved projects. Next up we will… • Work with our Construction Manager to determine a final schedule of projects. • Analyze lead times for materials to ensure that is harmonious with our project schedule. • Meet regularly with administration and relevant stakeholders to ensure that there is minimal disruption to the school learning environment during construction. Ultimately, there will be ten (10) bid packages that will be released to complete the approved projects. Keep checking this space, as well as our website and other communication portals, for Referendum ’18 updates!

Slime & STEM Working Together

Parkway Kicks Off the Wee Deliver Letter Writing Program Parkway School is pleased to announce this year's Wee Deliver postal employees! Congratulations and welcome to the following students who were nominated and selected for this year's

Referendum Roundup

program: Vanessa Cirello, Chaz Gilliard, Isabella Ceballos, Reggie Shephard, Trent Steever, Tanaya Lassiter, Juan Lugos, Ava Bittner, Kassidy Gundy, and Kyliyah Townes. The Wee Deliver Program is an in-school postal service that allows students the opportunity to practice letter writing and it encourages communication throughout the entire school. Our School has its very own mailboxes and all students and staff members are encouraged to participate in this program. The two most important things about "Wee Deliver" are that it is student lead and it is cross-curricular. In addition, the Wee Deliver Program has had a great impact on our school climate as our students and staff members are excited to send and receive letters!

Mrs. Swain's 6th grade math class was treated to a guest visit by Kelsey Roth's aunt, Chrissy Holcombe. As a librarian, Chrissy uses math in variety of ways, including when she's creating slime with students in her STEM workshops. Mrs. Swain's students were very excited to work collaboratively to create spider web slime, making enough for each student to bring home their own bag with a little plastic spider.

The Ewing Public Schools Senior Spotlight: Meet Twins Amanda & Naika Alexandre What do you like best about Ewing High School? Amanda: What I like best about Ewing High School are the clubs; I love every single club I am a part of: The Handbell Choir, Art Club, Coffee for the Soul, and Rotary. I also love the variety of classes Ewing High offers their students. Music and visual art have always intrigued me. I learned how to play a variety of percussion instruments in Marching and Concert Band. I planned to take drawing classes when I went to high school but unfortunately that didn’t work out, but through this “mistake”, I discovered my love for Ceramics and Sculpting. I continue my work in sculpture in 3D Design AP. Naika: My favorite aspect about Ewing High School is that it is always changing and improving! There are always new students to meet, new clubs being formed, and new ways to improve student life. Nothing seems to be stagnant in the high school, and that is a very important aspect to our high school. Who is your favorite teacher? Amanda: My favorite teachers are Mrs. BaileyWilliams, Mrs. Hammer, Mrs. Hutchinson, and Mrs. Marchesani. Mrs. Bailey-Williams is an amazingly, sweet, nice, thoughtful and helpful person. Mrs. Hutchinson’s funny, very understanding and kept me on track. She was my Biology teacher, and although I found that class hard, Mrs. Hutch gave me good advice on how to study. She made us take A LOT of notes, but those were super

This is a Must Save the Date! Ewing Township's Holiday Tree Lighting is scheduled for Sunday, December 2nd from 4-7pm at the Ewing Senior & Community Center. Members of Antheil's 5th grade Chorus are gearing up for this fun event by practicing several seasonal songs to entertain all that will be in attendance. We also encourage everyone to sing along with us! We hope to see you there as we share the magic of music this holiday season!

helpful, so I’m thankful. Mrs. Hammer strives for excellence and expects the absolute best from all her students. Lastly, I loved having Mrs. Marchesani as a teacher, she has a great personality, jokes around and was fair to all her students. Naika: I admire Mrs. Masterson for the way she teaches. I attended her AP Language and Composition class in which I believed before entering, that I would fall behind and did not belong in the class intellectually. This perspective of my possible performance in that class was immediately ‘squashed’. Mrs. Masterson constantly encouraged us, provided extra help and advice, and ultimately created a warm and welcoming environment within her classroom. In which activities do you participate? Amanda: I participate in Art club, the Handbell Choir, Coffee for the Soul and Rotary. I’ve also participated in the play every year since freshman year in props. I plan to do props for the play this year too, and go to ITS (International Thespian Society) for the second time. I’m also apart of Marching Band. Naika: I am a part of multiple clubs within the high school. My sister and I act as club leaders for both Handbell Choir and Coffee for the Soul. I am also a member of the Art Club, Rotary Club, National Honor Society and I am involved with the production of the annual drama club play. What is your favorite memory of high school?

Naika: My favorite memory of high school was when I would walk home with friends. I would always point out how much we have grown and how being in high school made me feel like an adult. What do you do outside of school? Amanda: Outside of school, I play tennis. I play tennis for NJTL, a non-profit organization. With their great coaching and coaches, I moved up from a beginner to elite in 3 years. Through this program, I gained many friends that come from different backgrounds, and I’m glad to have met them. I am also mentored at Princeton University by Princeton students to prepare me for college. Naika: Outside of school I practice tennis with the NJTL of Trenton, my sister and I have been a part of their Arthur Ashe program for advanced tennis players since our freshman year of high school. How do you define success? Amanda: I define success as happiness. It doesn’t matter what I will have in the future, or what I’m doing, I just want to be happy with the people I love. Naika: Success is being truly and completely happy with your work, efforts, and performance. What are your plans after you graduate? Amanda: I plan to go to college to major in Nursing and minor in Art if I have the opportunity. I want to work in a children’s hospital.

Amanda: My favorite memory of high school was the Art Club trip to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The art was absolutely beautiful and it was an amazing experience.

Naika: After graduation, I plan to attend college, I have not selected a specific school yet, but I know I will attend college, planning to study medicine.

EHS’s Nurse’s Passion is to Fight Skin Cancer

Lore's First Graders Love Science

Mrs. Leslie Curran BSN, RN, CSN, Ewing High School Nurse testified before the New Jersey Senate Education Committee regarding Bill S1803, (S1803 (1R) Would require school districts to adopt policies concerning student use of sunscreen and sunprotective clothing at school and school-sponsored functions.). This bill was sponsored by Senator Shirley Turner and will permit students to use sunscreen in school without a physician's order. It will also permit students to wear a hat and sunglasses while outside for physical education class and recess. Mrs. Curran expressed, “This is a huge project for me and my passion to fight skin cancer.”

Students in Lore's first grade classrooms look forward to science class every day, because for the first time, they are problem-solving and thinking like scientists. Students are exploring science using a STEM approach (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math), where they analyze a problem, imagine possible solutions, plan an approach, create a task or project, and improve their work after assessing its effectiveness. First graders absolutely love science!

Trenton Music Makers bring Music Together’s Play Along to Ewing’s Preschoolers Play Along is an exciting addition to Music Together’s repertoire of age appropriate musical curriculum brought to Ewing by the Trenton Music Makers, formerly the Trenton Community Music School. Play Along is a research-based program specially designed just for preschoolers. Play Along is teacher friendly and helps align music making activities to New Jersey Preschool Learning Standards. The Play Along program focuses on supporting early childhood development through the following areas: language and emergent literacy, social-emotional, mathematics, spatial-temporal reasoning, working memory, fine motor, gross motor and so much more! Another focus of Play Along is to honor the way children learn by including resources and materials for their caregivers at home and at school. Each child receives a songbook for school use as well as a music CD and songbook for home use. The support offered by Music Together extends to their website where there are free music and activity downloads for teachers and parents. Students’ rich and diverse musical experiences are heightened when Music Therapist Janet Campbell joins each class for a thirty minute music making session. After each session Ms. Campbell meets with teachers to discuss how best to support students. The partnership between Ms. Campbell and teachers is essential in providing students with the best opportunity to grow not only musically but to help develop important life skills. In December preschool classes hold Family Music Parties. Family members are invited into classrooms to experience a music session with their child. The atmosphere is warm and engaging as Ms. Campbell leads children and adults on a music making adventure. Ms. Ronnie Ragen, Early Childhood Program Director for Trenton Music Makers, attends to share the joys of Music Together with parents and to see the progress students have made.

Girls’ tennis team members grow despite losing season By Justin Feil Symone Summiel couldn’t imagine a better start to her final year of tennis with the Ewing High School girls team. The Ewing senior won the deciding point for the Blue Devils in a 3-2 win over Hamilton West to open the season Sept. 7. “It was huge,” Summiel said. “I don’t think I’ve ever won a match like that. It was an exciting moment.” As thrilled as she was to earn her first victory at third singles, she was even more excited that she could share it with her teammates. Second-singles Dasha Eisenhower also won a point for Ewing as did Olivia Ross and Kaia Robinson at first doubles. Some years Ewing has gone weeks before earning a team win, but this year they started 1-0. “The energy was huge and everybody was hugging and giving high fives,” Summiel said. “It felt good. There was a lot of positive feedback and love and support from the teammates. It just helped us grow as a team and it brought us closer.” Unfortunately, the win didn’t build much momentum for the rest of the season, with the team finishing 2-13. The Blue Devils had a new look from a year ago. All three of their singles players started in doubles a year ago and climbed the ladder this year. Emani Wilson moved up to first singles, Eisenhower slid into second singles and Summiel jumped to third singles. “I wanted to play singles since 10th grade,” Summiel said. “The previous years, I thought it was more of a fun thing to do and not as serious. I’m more serious about it.” Ross and Robinson were a new varsity combination at first doubles, while second doubles consisted of Christine Krah and Janiah Patterson. The team had strong leadership from its senior core. “This group, they’re hungry to learn,” said Ewing head coach Christina Mosteller. “They want to be there. Emani went from doubles to playing singles. She’s looking for singles strategy that she can play with her game. She doesn’t have the experience of some of the other first singles players, but she’s looking for what she can do to extend the points. “Symone is looking for things she can do to improve her game. Olivia is helping the girls in doubles.” For the first three years, Summiel is got accustomed to playing with a partner in doubles. This year, she was on her own. “It’s definitely an experience,” Summiel said. “I actually look forward to playing these challenging matches because it makes me a stronger player and it allows me to see how the more

Some players want to know. Even though one couldn’t clinch it, they were happy one could. They look at it as a team as opposed to an individual.” Team chemistry is a big emphasis for Ewing. The Blue Devils talk about being sisters, not teammates and take seriously their commitment to each other. It helped Summiel to know that others were counting on her. “I love my teammates,” she said. “I think they’re really amazing individuals and they have their own minds and opinions. They’re determined. They try their best. They’re always at practice and trying to become better players. I just think they’re beautiful individuals and I’m glad to play with them.” Ewing uses a mentor system that buddies up an older player with a younger one. They work to develop the future of the program and learn to love the game. “They build them up,” Mosteller said. They give them letters that says what’s great about them. In this day and age, it’s hard to have a lot of girls around each other. We try to make it family oriented and look out for each other and respect and protect them.” The players work with each other on the court as well. They started laying the foundation for bonding together in tennis in the preseason. “Emani and Kaia, this is her second year in and she’s done well, they would stay in preseason all morning to help with the underclassmen and the new players,” Mosteller said. “Symone stayed a couple times. It’s nice. I could tell them to help them with a tiebreaker, or a doubles rotation.” Mosteller employed a new teaching tool this year that has been supported by the US Tennis Association for new players. It’s another step to help lift the program. “With our beginners, we added Green Dot to our repertoire,” Mosteller said. “It bounces lower. It slows down the game. We use it before we throw them in with the yellow ball. It’s a new system the US is adopting. It’s giving us a little more success with the beginners than we’ve had. Hopefully it’ll help us when they’re four years in.”

From your favorite farm... to your favorite friends! Gift Baskets to give locally Links Links was left tied to a fence with an embedded chain in his neck. He was treated for the severe wounds on his neck and ears and was fully vetted. Links was more than likely a yard dog judging by his disposition and his body score. He was thin but friendly. Links cannot go to a family with kids as he is large and is still working on his manners. It appears Links was never really socialized with other dogs but is learning how to play appropriately. He is actively seeking a home of his own as he has been in the shelter for a couple of months now.

Lamenting the loss of a long-time family friend By Ilene Black

Saying good-bye is not an easy thing to do. But saying good-bye to people who have taken excellent care of you and your family for over 30 years is a nearly impossible task. I know that the current retail industry is undergoing big changes. But losing our family’s trusted pharmacy friends is a punch to the gut for us, not to mention the unexpected life change for them. QuickCheck Pharmacy, on Pennington Road in Ewing, is closing. I won’t get into the details but suffice it to say that the decision and the breaking of the news to the employees was done with no grace. We started patronizing the pharmacy when we moved back to Ewing in 1982, mainly because it was directly next door to our family physicians. A no-brainer! Over the years, I have gotten to know these hard-working people very well. They have gotten my family through some rough times with their dedication, their personal approach and their dogged devotion to excellent customer care. One of the pharmacy employees was my youngest son Donnie’s pre-school teacher! Another former employee taught both my sons at Incarnation School. I was actually her homeroom mom! The head pharmacist, Steve, always had a story or joke every time I went in there. I have a (bad and annoying) habit of posting a ton of pictures of my dogs. Just about every picture I post, the dogs are in the same position, lying together on the couch. Very little variation. (They’re just so cute I can’t help it!) Well, Steve mentioned my ad nauseum dog picture posting and teased me about it. As soon as I got home, I posted a couple pictures of the dogs to Steve’s Facebook wall with the comment, “Hi, Uncle Steve!” When our kids were sick, they rushed our prescriptions because they knew what a nervous mother I am. When any of us needed advice on what over-thecounter medicine to buy, they were right on target. They always went to bat for us with our insurance company. They made sure that we got exactly what we needed, when we needed it, for all those years. When I was diagnosed with high blood pressure over 10 years ago and put on meds, I remember going there to fill the prescription and crying in front of the pharmacy staff. It shook me up that at age 49 I needed blood pressure medicine. They reassured me that it was not unusual and that it didn’t mean I was going to drop dead any day now. They made me laugh,

so that I ended up walking out of the store with a smile. They filled my prescription for my first colonoscopy prep kit. When I picked it up, we exchanged stories about the procedure, and I said how nervous I was about it. When I left, they all stood there watching me leave with very serious expressions as if I was going off to war. Looking back, it makes me laugh to picture their faces. When one of the staff’s grandsons was diagnosed with cancer, many of the customers were very supportive. I remember posting the info on Facebook and asking for prayers for the little boy. The same with another employee who needed a few surgeries. The staff received support from the community they created with their warm and welcoming customer care. One of the staff’s daughters got married a few years back. I happened to see a random picture of the bride with her father two days after the wedding and immediately printed it and brought it to him, knowing that he had not seen any pictures yet. I know that there are excellent pharmacies in Ewing. I’m not worried about that. I am sad that the connection that was forged between me, my family and the staff will no longer exist. I will miss them. I worry about their futures. I hate saying good-bye to one of the most important aspects of my family’s healthcare for years. Good luck to all the QuickCheck Pharmacy staff. Thank you for your devotion, your compassion, your humor and for taking such good care of us for all those years.

Wishing You A Happy & Healthy Holiday Season!
