Freshman Schenck leaves field hockey fans ‘speechless’

By Rich FisheR It’s kind of funny to ask Lawrence High field hockey coach Megan Errico about prized freshman Talia Schenck, because it’s not the response you would expect from one usually so well-spoken. “She is…she’s just…,” Errico then lets out a frustrated sigh. “Oh, I don’t even know where to start.” The veteran coach wouldn’t mind being at such a loss for words more often, as players like Schenck are as rare as a field hockey game with no whistles. The Cardinals finished the season 10-9. Fourteen games into the season, her 27 goals already shattered the school season record of 22, and she eventually broke the school career record of 35. Both were set in the early 2000s. What’s even more impressive is that Schenck is not surprising herself, as her experience includes U.S. Futures and club field hockey, along with numerous tournaments, camps and clinics. Entering high school, Schenck knew she was ready. “I receive great coaching, and play against great competition,” she said. “That’s helped prepare me for high school play. I have confidence in my ability and believed that I could break the single season record, although I didn’t see it happenSee SCHENCK, Page 10

Girl Scouts Charley DeMarco and Avery Gallagher conducted a bike safety audit along the Lawrence-Hopewell trail and other township roads as part of their Silver Award project.

Scouts analyze bike trail safety By JenniFeR GoeTZ Friends Avery Gallagher and Charley DeMarco always liked biking to each other’s houses to visit each other. They often take the Lawrence Hopewell Trail, a trail going through Hopewell and Lawrence Township that’s 22-plus miles long. The LHT is connected to Lawrence’s middle school and high school, and is a trail that families, bikers, joggers and walkers can enjoy. Gallagher and DeMarco have loved and used the LHT, but they have also noticed that there is no safe way to cross Princeton Pike or Route 206, and that other nearby roads are

not safe for bikers. The girls, both 12-year-old Lawrence residents, are dedicated to making sure this changes, and that students of both Lawrence middle school and high school can cross these roads safely to visit the other side of town. Since they are girl scouts, DeMarco and Gallagher decided, with the help of their moms, that a biking audit would be a great way to give back to the community for their Girl Scout Silver Award. The Silver Award is a honor given to middle school-aged students that carry out a project to give back to their community. What a biking DECEMBER 2018audit entails is doing a thorough investiga-

tion of the biking path to look for any signs of safety concerns. As for feedback they received about the idea for this project, the girls said that other students were interested in helping out. “People were like, ‘I want to do it,’” said DeMarco. “I feel like a lot of people want to ride to school together.” As a part of their project, the girls looped in members of the community from the Greater Mercer County Sustainability Team, Sustainable Lawrence, the Lawrence Police Department and other local groups. During the biking audits, Lawrence Police were aware that students were See TRAIL, Page 12

If you’ve ever heard the song “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” by The Proclaimers and wondered who exactly would go this distance to accomplish a goal, Scott Rizza has your answer. Every year, Rizza, 52, bikes around 500 miles from New Jersey all the way for Massachusetts in support of cancer treatment and research. He does this by participating in the Pan-Mass Challenge, a bike-a-thon starting in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, and held around the state, to fundraise for cancer research through the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The Pan-Mass Challenge was founded in 1980 by Billy Starr, who has since described the event as “the most successful athletic event in the world.” It features hundreds of miles of biking routes of various intensities that go around the state of Massachusetts. Starr’s claims are backed by solid evidence; in 2017, the PMC fundraised $51 million for the Dana-Farber Institute, a comprehensive cancer research and treatment center and teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School, which supported over 12 different divisions and projects within the organization. In 2018, the PMC has around 7,000 participants and the goal of raising $52 million. Though Rizza, a Lawrence resident, is currently an avid biker and passionate participant of the PMC, he didn’t start cycling until ANNUAL REPORT around 20 years ago. “I was a bit TO See RIZZA, Page 9

AROuND TOWN Local officers promoted Family, friends and colleagues packed council chambers Nov. 8 to witness two Lawrence Township police officers take their oaths of office. Christopher Longo received a promotion to lieutenant while Timothy Wallace was sworn in as a new officer during the November meeting of Lawrence Township council. Supporters filled the room, with nearly every seat filled and even more well-wishers standing along the rear of the chambers. Mayor Christopher Bobbitt administered the oath of office to both Longo and Wallace. Wallace was accompanied by his mother Jannifer Wallace and girlfriend Edimar Lucero. Two of Longo’s children—Cara and Chase— helped administer his oath. Longo said his daughter Kylee could not attend because she was away at college. A lifelong Lawrence resident, Longo credited his family’s involvement with public safety for leading him into law enforcement. He started first as a firefighter with Lawrence Road Fire Company and then as a county dispatcher, before joining the Lawrence Police in October 1999. Longo is a graduate of the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, and has previously been employed as a police officer in North Wildwood and as an Investigative Specialist by the FBI. He has served in Lawrence as a police officer, detective and sergeant. Wallace, a Lawrence resident, began his career as a security officer at Quaker Bridge Mall. There, his skill at the job caught the eye of Lawrence Police officers stationed at the mall. Wallace moved on to become an officer with the Trenton Police. He has been working in Lawrence since the summer. Raised in Hamilton, Wallace graduated from Nottingham High School, and

HomeFront recently announced its holiday greeting cards featuring art designed by homeless and impoverished artists are available for purchase. HomeFront’s therapeutic art program, ArtSpace, is an art studio located within HomeFront’s Family Preservation Campus, a facility that offers a serene safe-haven for homeless families. The studio provides a warm, lightfilled environment that invites cre-

ativity, encourages exploration, and ultimately cultivates a love and appreciation for art. Created by ArtSpace clients under the supervision of Homefront’s ArtSpace director Ruthann Traylor, each greeting card incorporates the work of individuals who have been touched by poverty, homelessness and abuse. HomeFront executive director Connie Mercer believes the skills the artists learn during the process of creating the cards are essential to self-sufficiency. “They learn the value of sticking with a project and bringing it to completion in this case, taking their art from drawing through painting to scanning it into a computer, and printing and boxing the cards,” she added. “Many aspects of this project relate directly to skills our clients need to get from shelters to permanent housing.” Custom cards, featuring a selection of 35 original designs, as well as packaged cards are available. Cards can be ordered online at homefrontnj.org/ artspace and through many area outlets. Proceeds from the sale of these cards helps to fund programs for the families served by HomeFront’s multifaceted initiatives, including the Family Preservation Center in Ewing.

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.”

Minimally Invasive Screening Options, Accurate Results Led by DR. JASON ROGART, director of Interventional Gastroenterology & Therapeutic Endoscopy, Capital Health’s Pancreas Screening Program aims to identify early precancerous lesions before they turn into cancer. 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.

RIZZA continued from Page 1 overweight at the time, and I was going to the gym, but this was another outlet,” he said. “Someone had a spare bike, so then I started riding it around, even to work, and I really enjoyed it,” he said. Soon, he started participating in charity bike-athons, such as the Tour de Cure. Rizza first heard about the PMC, held in August each year, from his colleagues at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. “I used to live outside of Boston, but soon I moved down to the Hopewell office, along with several of my colleagues. At the time, people in the office had a team in PMC, and they recruited me to join because I’m cycling all the time and it’s an awesome cause, since everybody knows somebody that was impacted by cancer,” Rizza said. In his first PMC, Rizza witnessed the power of the event on the opening night at Sturbridge, Massachusetts. “Billy Starr gives a presentation and tells everyone what the event is about,” he said. “There’s a lot of cancer survivors that are there, to showcase how many people have benefited from this event. Obviously, the people suffering from cancer are most impacted, but their families and support groups are there too. “A few years later, I joined this other team called ‘Lick Cancer,’ a large and great team with a lot of organization. This year, we had about 170 people on our team, and our goal is to raise a million dollars, of which we’re at $963,000 right now.” When Rizza moved to Lawrence in 2013, he continued his passion for bicycling and his participation in the PMC, but added an additional level of challenge for himself. Instead of taking some form of automated transportation to reach Massachusetts, he decided to start biking all the way there in order to participate. Through this, he is able to drum up local support and fundraise even more. “I start off in Lawrence, then I ride to the office, where they throw me a sendoff party and I get contributions from my colleagues,” Rizza said. “Bank of America matches contributions generously, so my fundraising multiplied. Then I ride up to the Massachusetts border, where I meet several people of my team and then we ride all the way to Sturbridge, where the PMC starts.” For a feat on this scale, Rizza does a significant amount of training and planning to make sure he can reach his goal. During half the year, he trains for this event, along with many others, by cycling on a regular basis. “It’s another target that keeps me motivated,” he said. “I usually do other rides during the year, but this is the one that I want to make sure I’m prepared for. My ride ends up being roughly 500 miles over five days. During those days, I focus on consuming energy bars, sports drink, and making sure to stay hydrated and stop along the way.” Once he gets to Massachussetts, Rizza says even the logistics of the ride are “phenomenal,” with manned stops

every 20 miles providing riders with water, fruit and sandwiches. The solitude is another challenge, especially during the trip up and back. “The first couple of days I’m alone, and so it’s a long time to be in your own head,” he said. “I don’t listen to music when I’m on the road, just because I like to be able to hear the cars, so I have to keep myself occupied mentally. One of the things I did this year was think about the importance of the cause. “It’s always a bit tougher each year, especially in the starting days. But I think of all the people who are suffering from cancer, and how hard that is, compared to my [minimal physical exertion] for a couple of days. So I don’t care how long it takes me, but I’m going to push myself to do it,” Rizza said. This year was particularly unique, since Rizza got married in May. Because of the time commitment of planning a wedding, “towards the end, I had to train in the rain when I didn’t want to, and I really thank my wife for putting up with that,” he said. In fact, his wife, Denise, even traveled to meet him halfway during his trip. “She met me at the New York border for both equipment and moral support. She helped me throughout the next day, acting as a support vehicle along the way.” Overall, despite the physical difficulties of participating in the PMC, not to mention Rizza’s extended trip, he continues to participate passionately for various reasons. “It’s not that easy at first, but cyclists like a challenge, and it’s something that everyone can do,” Rizza said. “It’s also wellrun, and really inspirational and fun. Then there’s time where you’re thinking about what the cause is, and that’s very emotional.” Even though the PMC is not an inherently competitive race, Rizza believes the event is a testament to the power of athletics to bring people together for something greater. “There’s people of all ages and fitness levels doing this,” he said. “There are even some cancer survivors, those who may have lost limbs to the disease, participating. Seeing that is very motivational, and really showcases that no matter how difficult something is, as long as you persevere, you can do it.” Looking forward, Rizza hopes to continue participating in the PMC, and even improve in his fundraising performance. “My wife’s been helping me out for fundraising in the social media arena,” Rizza said. For those that are intimidated by the size and length of the PMC, Rizza explains the accessibility. “Now they have multiple routes, so you can start slow if you want,” he said. “There’s shorter routes, but with just a little bit of effort and training, you can achieve anything. It’s really about the cause and the fundraising. “It’s a bit amazing what you can do when you set your mind to it,” he said.”Before I started riding, I thought someone biking 60 miles was insane. But now, people are giving me the same reaction I used to have.”

‘There’s time where you’re thinking about what the cause is, and that’s very emotional.’ -Scott Rizza on cycling in the Pan-Mass Challenge

SCHENCK continued from Page 1 ing so early in the season. “I also believe that I can break the career record. I’m happy and proud with how the season is going, but I know there have been some missed opportunities. There is always room for improvement and I plan to continue working hard and improve each year.” Schenck is not just providing lip service when she talks of wanting to improve. While talent is obviously a huge part of her success; so is a stubbornness to never be satisfied. Errico calls the 9th-grader “her own worst critic.” “I think that’s what pushes her to do so well, because she gets on herself,” the coach said. “She has a full regulation cage in her backyard, so she’s never not practicing, and she loves it. I want her to always love it and not get so frustrated with herself; or not think her performance wasn’t good enough. I want her to enjoy the moments of the game and enjoy winning even if it wasn’t how she wanted to win.” Schenck has been loving the game since third grade, when her brother’s girlfriend suggested it to her. Gina Gutierrez, who now plays for Gwynedd Mercy University, played for Lawrence at the time. She told young Schenck how much she loved the game and the 8-yearold absorbed the message. “Talia picked up a stick in elementary school and basically hasn’t put that stick down,” Errico said. She started in the Lawrence Recreation program, which didn’t exactly invoke thoughts of playing in college. Or high school, for that matter. “The program ran in the winter and we played in a school gym,” she said. “There were only about six girls, and we had to put socks on our sticks so we didn’t damage the floor. I enjoyed it at the time, but didn’t see myself taking it anywhere.” Nonetheless, she began attending clinics at Princeton Day School the next

year. At the suggestion of director Cris Maloney, Schenck moved on to the Princeton Field Hockey Club in sixth grade and has been there ever since. The PFHC is run by the Princeton University coaches, who have developed one of the nation’s top programs. The USA Futures program is considered one of the best around, and Schneck also did private lessons last summer with club coaches Carla Tagliente and Mike Pallister. Unbelievably, there was a time the sport did not agree with her. That lasted for what seemed about 10 seconds. “It was intimidating and I didn’t like it at first,” Schenck said. “I stuck with it and began to make friends. I saw myself improving and began to enjoy it more. I’ve met some of my closest friends through the club. Now I can’t get enough of it.” Playing for Lawrence Middle School, Schenck was so dominant, it almost became counter-productive in some ways. “She was obviously above everyone else,” Errico said. “So I think it was difficult for her. That’s hard for a girl to be in that situation.” It wasn’t hard for Errico to watch. “I heard about her in seventh grade from the middle school coach, saying ‘She’s so good, she’s so good,’ and I was like ‘Alright, yeah, yeah, yeah,’” the coach said with a laugh. “And then I watched her play last year, and I was like, ‘You gotta be kidding me.’” Schenck entered a program that was coming off one of its most successful campaigns in years as the Cardinals went 10-10-1. They took a big graduation hit, which actually may have helped the freshman. There was concern that it might be a return to middle school, where she dominated above all others. And it is often difficult for an incoming freshman to star right away on a team full of seniors, as jealousies can sometimes occur. But without a senior on the Lawrence

squad this year, that hasn’t been the case. “I think she was a little nervous about that, but it’s been a very successful situation,” Errico said. “No one is jealous of her, and if she gets frustrated with somebody, she gets frustrated with herself. She’s not one to get frustrated with somebody who’s not at her level.” Schenck admitted her most pleasant surprise was how neatly she transitioned on to the varsity. “I’ve made a lot of friends, and they’re all very supportive and have made this easy,” she said. “I was able to find my role quickly. The team has been connecting well on and off the field and continues to improve. Being a young team, we are working hard to get better every day. We have the chance to finish strong and end the season with a winning record. Looking ahead, most of the team should be back next year and it’s exciting to think about the direction we’re going.” Schenck served notice as to what direction she could help the Cards go in her first high school game, when she scored all five goals in a 5-1, opening-day victory over West Windsor-Plainsboro North. She scored in 13 of Lawrence’s first 14 games, racking up six multi-goal games. She also had five assists during that time, as aggressive double teaming forces her to give the ball up at times. “The same thing happened when I was in middle school,” Schenck said. “I have confidence in my ability, so I don’t let it bother me. If a team over-commits, that helps open things up for my teammates.” So often, however, Schenck has the ability to open things up for herself. Errico praised her center-forward (she plays midfield and forward in club) for her “ridiculously hard shot” and a combination of tremendous speed with the ability to not lose the ball. “She’s so smart with the game and her stick skills are absolutely incredible,” Errico said. “She can sprint down the field and maintain the possession pretty much the entire game if you let her.”

Just how does one do such things? Especially when the slightest mis-hit on the wrong side of the stick means a stoppage. “I don’t think that there’s a trick, you just have to practice your stickwork as much as possible,” she said. “I try to practice my pulls every day. It’s a basic skill, but very important.” It’s one she learned to enhance from Charlotte Craddock, her former instructor who played for the University of North Carolina and England’s Olympic team. “I was lucky enough to do private lessons with her,” Schenck said. “She suggested that I use a tennis ball when practicing stick skills. Because the tennis ball is bouncy, it helps you develop softer hands. The practice and repetition helps to develop overall speed.” She is now trying to help develop some of her teammates who have just recently gotten involved with field hockey. “Talia is working with girls who are good but have only been playing a few years; we have a really young team,” Errico said. “I think Talia is doing a good job of trying to raise our girls to her level. They see it and they want to get there.” Schenck’s scoring exploits and ability to control the ball on her stick remind Errico of Robbinsville’s outstanding Shea Walsh. The difference between the two is, Walsh’s main sport is softball, while Schenck is all field hockey. “I used to play rec soccer and softball,” she said. “It was fun, but I never had a passion for either. When it comes to my passion for field hockey, I can’t single out just one specific thing that makes me love it. It’s a combination of everything. The game, my coaches, my teammates, the competition. I also love seeing myself improve and grow as a player. When I look back at my achievements, whether it’s a little moment in a practice or game or a big accomplishment, they help me see that my hard work is paying off.” They also help render Errico speechless, in a good way.

JACK’S NURSERY

TRAIL continued from Page 1 working on auditing near Princeton Pike and 206. DeMarco’s mom also parked on Franklin Corner Road, one of the most dangerous roads for bikers, and held up a sign that said, “Bikers Ahead!” to warn cars. The first thing the girls focused on was finding someone to help with their audit. According to Gallagher, the girls went to speak with the Greater Mercer Transportation Green Team and went to a open meeting where they met their bike safety guide, Jerry Foster, walking and biking specialist and one of the Safe Routes to School Coordinators for the Greater Mercer Transportation Management Association. He offered to help Gallagher and DeMarco with their project by assisting them with their audit. DeMarco and Gallagher went with Foster on a preliminary audit to figure out which route they wanted to take. It took two hours of exploring to decide on the right route. “We took pictures of the safe roads and the unsafe roads,” said Gallagher. “[We wanted to look at them and] and see if this would be a safe place to perform a biking audit.” They had a few different routes in mind, but settled on the one they took on Oct. 10. “It’s safer because it’s off-road,” said DeMarco, “so there’s no chance of anyone being hit by a car.” Even on Franklin Corner Road, the most precarious road to be on, “we are on the wider part of the road with the sidewalk.” Sept. 28 was the day the girls planned on conducting the biking audit, but because it rained, they did a preliminary audit together the following day before

involving other students. “We wanted to do a practice, just so we knew which way to go,” said Gallagher. It took them 20 to 30 minutes to run through the biking audit the second time, after going through and exploring different paths the first time. On Oct. 10, Gallagher and DeMarco led the biking audit starting from Lawrenceville Fuel gas station to the two schools with other students to repeat the process but with more help. A safe biking path that students can use to either ride their bikes or walk, to school, to a nearby friend’s house, or to the local Dunkin’ Donuts or Starbucks. A safer way to bike to school is not the only benefit of a safer biking path—it allows students to be more social, more active and have more independence. The scouts decided to “connect communities” from the north end of Lawrence to the south end with sustainability. According to LHT’s website, the trails were created to make “as little impact on the surrounding environment as possible.” Gallagher and DeMarco made it a priority to take sustainability into account for their biking audit. Both girls are happy about this project. “We’re really excited,” said DeMarco, “I’ve ridden my bike to her house on the path that we’ve found.” Gallagher points out that this path involves going on roads that are “not that safe.” “What we want is when we ride our bikes to school is a moment for people to realize they can ride their bike to school, maybe not alone, but with a friend or groups,” Gallager said.

A LAWRENCE GAZETTE Advertising Feature

One-stop treatment at Complete Health of Lawrenceville It’s that sharp twinge that pulls you up when you least expect it. It’s that shooting pain that stops you dead in your tracks. Most everyone has experienced back, nerve, or muscle pain of some kind but most people want to avoid invasive techniques to alleviate pain, if possible. Look to Complete Health of Lawrenceville for the expertise and techniques to do just that. Conveniently located at 136 Franklin Corner Road in Lawrenceville, the skilled providers of Complete Health emphasize improving your overall health in an effort to reduce the risk of pain and illness in the first place. Complete Health is a full wellness and holistic care practice offering physical therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, massage therapy, yoga, and a full gym. “We treat the patient, not the condition,” says Dr. Richard Berkowitz, a partner at Complete Health and Board Certified Chiropractic physician. “Our goal is to provide patients with a customized wellness program specifically targeted to individual needs using the least invasive yet highly-effective techniques and services. Your age or level of activity make no difference. We apply our treatment plans to non-athletes, pros, and weekend warriors. Your needs are specific and deserve customized treatment.” Complete Health of Lawrenceville specializes in a wide range of issues whether due to injury, wear and tear on the body, or age. “Disc compression, pinched nerves, and sciatica are all too familiar to everyone,” says Berkowitz. “Discs act as the shock absorbers for the spine. If they become compressed, pressure is put on the nerves. Spinal decompression therapy is a nonsurgical, comfortable treatment that creates a subtle negative pressure within the disc. This pressure permits the retraction of herniated disc

material and gently promotes healing, often greatly reducing symptoms.” Complete Health of Lawrenceville utilizes the Kennedy Decompression Technique for decompression therapy. Their practitioners are certified by Dr. Jay Kennedy, DC, one of the leading experts in spinal decompression. Dr. Kennedy has been a chiropractor for more than 30 years and was involved in decompression therapy since its beginning. He has trained doctors worldwide and treated thousands of patients using a variety of decompression techniques. “Spinal Decompression therapy is designed to alleviate herniated, bulging or protruding discs, spinal stenosis, and pinched nerves (sciatica). In almost all cases, the treatments are completely painless. In fact, some patients fall asleep during the session,” Dr. Berkowitz says with a smile. “And we have found that most medical insurance plans do cover this treatment. Our office will verify coverage before the treatment begins.” The patient centered practice at Complete Health of Lawrenceville provides a single source for rehabilitation, preventative care, and general health awareness. “Our skilled professionals provide cutting edge physical therapy, massage therapy, yoga, acupuncture and other services in a stress-free setting,” says Berkowitz. “Our mission is to provide exceptional care through outstanding service, compassionate doctors and staff members. There is no need to live with pain or discomfort.” The first step to healing and wellness is a consultation with a specialist at Complete Health of Lawrenceville.

Alejandro de Casenave has fond memories of Christmas in Puerto Rico. The executive chef of Witherspoon Grill lived there until he was 11, when he moved to Lawrence with his family. “In Puerto Rico, we celebrated Christmas poolside, and beachside,” he says. “Moving here was a little daunting at first, seeing snow and being cold. I was used to wearing shorts and swimming.” Each year for Christmas his family would prepare lechón, or a whole roast suckling pig, in the backyard. It takes hours to cook, and while it was on the fire they prepared rice and beans and other side dishes. Lechón is a holiday tradition in many Caribbean territories, including Puerto Rico and Cuba, where de Casenave’s mother is from. “I’m very lucky because my mother’s family is Cuban and my dad’s side is Puerto Rican, so I had this mix of the two cultures together,” he says. De Casenave and his family may live in New Jersey now, but that hasn’t prevented them from maintaining their holiday tradition. The chef and his family still get together every Christmas Eve for lechón with all the fixings. Another Christmas tradition in Puerto Rico is the coquito, a drink that literally translates as “little coconut” and which is sometimes called Puerto Rican eggnog. There are variations found throughout the Caribbean and Latin America that feature some combination of evaporated milk, condensed milk, coconut cream, egg yolks, spices and rum. De Casenave remembers his mother, Mercedes, making coquitos every year — with a twist. “My mom being a creative type, switched the rum to brandy, that being the Cuban part for us, and she would add chocolate syrup to it,” de Casenave says. Mercedes, who worked for many years as a label translator for Bristol-Myers Squibb, would make the coquitos, bottle them, and give them to people as gifts. For kids, she made a virgin version. That coquito tradition lives on today. Only now, de Casenave’s mother makes enough so that he can give it away to his friends and co-workers as well. De Casenave, 30, lived in San Juan

Alejandro de Casenave, the executive chef of Witherspoon Grill in Princeton, is a Lawrence High School graduate. until the family moved north. After graduating from Lawrence High, he attended William Paterson University to study finance. Unfortunately, his studies coincided with the Great Recession of 2008, and finance no longer looked like a great career option. So he moved back home and enrolled in the lauded culinary program at Mercer County Community College. He worked in kitchens locally and in New York before settling in as executive chef at Big Fish, the restaurant in Princeton MarketFair. In 2015, he moved on to Witherspoon Grill in Princeton, first as sous chef to Chris Graciano, and then, after Graciano moved on, as executive chef. De Casenave says he looks forward to getting off early every Christmas Eve and celebrating the holiday — and lechón — with family. They eat dinner at 10 p.m., then at midnight they drink coquito and open presents. And as they celebrate, de Casenave can think about the many friends and co-workers who get to enjoy his family’s coquito tradition along with him. “It’s a little piece of home I get to share with friends on a cold day,” de Casenave says.

Weeks assumed the mantle of No. 1 runner this year after being number three as a freshman. A Colorado import who arrived in Lawrence seven years ago, Weeks was 14th in the counties (20:35) at Washington Crossing and sixth in sectionals at Thompson Park in Jamesburg (20:43). After finishing 70th in last year’s states her goal was the top 40, and she took 38th. “The way she runs, she always looks relaxed and never looks frazzled when she’s competing, which is great,” Guarini said. “She’s constantly trying to do better than what she was the previous season, which is great. She kind of has that quiet calm about her. Every time she steps on the course you know you’re

people. She made us feel everyone had a part to play. She said even if you’re not racing you could cheer, you could help time. Everyone has a role to play. I feel like that was the main thing that helped us get to where we are.” Conversely, Guarini felt the team’s desire to buy into running as a pack played into it just as much. “Watching them kind of figure out this whole cross country thing is pretty great,” the coach said. “They understand the whole pack running scheme, so they’re getting better at doing that. The girls work together, they push each other, they just have a great camaraderie about them, and (Weeks) is a big reason we have that.”

The Lawrence High School girls’ cross countr y team smiles after the Central Jersey Group III meet at Thompson Park. Left to right: head APY*** coach Liz Guarini, Valandra Rigatoni, Katie Toole, Molly Lutolf, Samantha Staub, Anna Kolomatskaia, Sara Kuwar and Madeline Weeks.

Slowly but surely, head coach Liz Guarini is laying a solid foundation for the Lawrence High girls’ cross country program. For the third straight season, the Cardinals placed in the Top 5 at the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group III sectional meet, advancing them to the state meet. And while they did slip two spots in states, from 15th to 17th, they also showed improvement in the Mercer County meet by placing seventh and finishing ahead of rival Robbinsville. In the Valley Division meet, the Cardinals finished second, slightly behind the Ravens. The best news is, of the top seven runners, only senior Valandra Riggins is graduating. “Finishing second in our division and finally beating Robbinsville at the county meet was a big accomplishment for the girls,” Guarini said. “We’re getting a lot of returners next year that we hope will win the division. That’s what one of our goals are. So beating Robbinsville at counties was a step in the right direction. And finishing seventh was the highest they’ve placed in a long time. So we’re going in the right direction.” Sophomore Madeline Weeks felt Guarini’s approach made a big difference. “I think the season went really well,” Weeks said. “I think the main reason it went so well is because Coach G really focused on us working together as a team and on pack running. Not really focusing just on the individual, but all of us playing a part of getting to this. “Even though only the top five count (in state meets), she told us the six and seven runners still played a big part if they could pass the other team’s top five

going to see something great from her, which is great since she’s only a sophomore. So we’re definitely excited to see what she can do as a junior and a senior. She’s leading the girls in a positive way.” Andrea Weeks, who ran high school and collegiate cross country in Colorado, prodded her daughter to try the sport in middle school. Weeks decided to go for it, since there wasn’t a lot of pressure. “At the intermediate school it wasn’t a set sport,” Weeks said. “So it was like ‘Oh cool, playing sports!’ and I thought cross country seemed like a cool sport.” Part of it had to do with the low-key atmosphere created by her coaches. “I was a little nervous at first but I did like it because the coaches had the mentality, especially at the middle school, where everyone was just having fun,” she said. “The middle school is a nice encouraging ‘keep going’ thing and Coach G definitely added with the whole team attitude. I felt it was always a positive experience. I also like that there’s an individual aspect and a team aspect to it.” “And,” she added with a laugh, “it also kind of helped I was getting good at it.” Checking in at number two was Riggins, who was 14th in counties (20:52) and 17th in sectionals (21:29). “She ran really great at counties, she finally broke 21 (minutes) so that was like a big deal for her,” Guarini said. “At sectionals she ran pretty well. She wasn’t 100 percent satisfied with her race result, but she’s similar to Maddy that she kind of has that calm about her while she’s racing. She was a big piece of why, as a team, we did what we did.” Rounding out the top seven were * See XC, Page 20

XC continued from Page 19 junior Katie Toole, a captain along with Riggins and senior Darlin Jimenez, sophomores Molly Lutolf and Samantha Staub, and freshman Anna Kolomatskaia. “For the most part, Maddy and Valandra kind of ran together with a little separation between the two,” Guarini said. “And then we had Sara, Molly and Katie trying to form a pack, so they pushed each other. At counties Molly and Sara ran with each other, which helped us big time. They ran big races that day. “And it was exciting for everyone to watch the division race. Last year Robbinsville ran in a pack the whole race and maintained it with no issues. This year they had to compete against us because of our top two girls pushing the whole race. It really changed the whole dynamic to it. We definitely turned some heads this year.” With such a young group, they hope to keep turning them in the years to come. After making states, the goal is to now start placing higher and, perhaps even make it to the Meet of Champions. And maybe even higher. “It was funny,” Guarini said. “Maddy

was asking how teams qualify for Nationals. “She’s not even thinking Meet of Champs, she’s thinking of that next level. So that’s kind of cool. I’m like ‘That’s what I’m talking about!’ I want them to dream big. But Meet of Champs would be a heck of an accomplishment if we could do that.” Weeks isn’t dreaming quite so big for next year, however, as she tries keeping it in perspective. “It would definitely be helpful to be in fourth or third at the sectionals, not just be in fifth and on the edge, wondering if we’re gonna move on,” she said. “It’s gotta be more up there, like ‘Yes, we know we are moving on.’ For groups, I feel like we have to try and slowly make progress and get closer (to advancing). I think it will take a while to get to the Meet of Champions, but we’ll keep working at it.” Guarini has no doubt about that, as she watches the spirit of her young team ripen each day. “They’re getting it,” she said. “They understand what it takes and what they need to do moving for ward. I would expect in July we’ll be out there, getting more miles in and be ready to roll.”
