Environmental habitat at Villa Victoria Academy gets certified

Student chef from Ewing helps set up externship at The College of New Jersey

By Justin Feil Mary Zsolway’s boots stood out. They drew strange looks from Villa Victoria Academy teachers when worn in combination with her school uniform, but Zsolway would explain: “I’m going to environmental science class.” Zsolway was one of the first Villa Victoria students to take the class, which was offered for the first time as an elective last year. Environmental science class gave juniors and seniors at the all-girls, private Catholic school in Ewing a hands-on opportunity to study the stream, soil, plants and wildlife found within an acre of its 41-acre campus. Their efforts ultimately resulted an area of the campus being named a Certified Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation, the country’s largest wildlife conservation and education organization. Every Certified Wildlife Habitat provides natural sources of food, water, cover and places to raise young, and is kept in a sustainable way that incorporates native plants, conserves water and doesn’t rely on pesticides. A sign on the Villa Victoria campus now recognizes the class’s work, a reflection of the See HABITAT, Page 6

Running around the world Physical fitness enthusiast raising funds to run World Marathon Challenge By scOtt MORGan Keri Mandell is planning to run seven marathons on all seven continents in seven days. That’s not a typo. She’s really gearing up to run 183.4 miles in a week, including in Australia, Africa and Antarctica. Something only 103 people have ever

done. For comparison, 536 people have been to outer space. And yet the only thing that scares her about any of this is the airplane. “I don’t really like to fly,” she said. But while that might be true, this 36-year-old yogi, CrossFit coach, marathoner, Ironman triathlete and businesswoman is not really the type to not do what she sets her mind to. Mandell, owner of emPower Yoga in Capus Town, is in the process of raising funds so she can participate in the 2020 World

Marathon Challenge—a grueling contest that calls for running in seven marathons on seven continents in seven days. When the specifics aren’t yet known for the 2020 event, locations for the 2019 challenge are: Novo, Antarctica; Cape Town, South Africa; Perth, Australia; Dubai in the UAE; Madrid, Spain; Santiago, Chile; and ending in Miami. Self described as “wicked competitive” when she wants something and “so Type-A” all See MANDELL, Page 8

In most cases, college students seeking to do externship programs are looking for programs that already exist. When young chef Jurnee Samuels went looking for a food preparation externship program near her home, she found none that suited her. But rather than accept this, the Ewing resident decided to create her own—at The College of New Jersey. Samuels, who goes by her middle name (her first name is Chanel), is a student at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, one of the most prestigious cooking schools in the country. Part of the CIA curriculum is a 14-week externship at one of many places on a pre-approved list. Not on the list, though, was TCNJ—nor Sodexo, which is the food prep and service company at the college’s dining establishments. Samuels, however, wanted to be close to home and her family while she served her weeks outside of CIA. So, at 19, she set about getting TCNJ and Sodexo on the approved list. “I honestly didn’t know that they had a restaurant with See SAMUELS, Page 10

When Do You Need A Workers’ Compensation Attorney? When a worker gets injured in the course of his or her employment in New Jersey, that worker is entitled to compensation benefits consisting of medical treatment, wage replacement, and monies for any permanent injuries. Insurance companies do not always voluntarily pay what is owed. Therefore, an injured worker needs to file a formal Claim Petition and should seek the services of an experienced Certified Workers’ Compensation attorney. Issues to consider when hiring an attorney for a workers’ compensation case: Is the attorney a Certified Workers’ Compensation attorney? The Supreme Court of New Jersey has established a certification program designed to assist the consumer in making an informed selection of counsel. In New Jersey there are only 121 attorneys that have demonstrated sufficient levels of experience, education, and knowledge in the practice of workers’ compensation law to receive this certification. Pellettieri Rabstein & Altman has attorneys that have been certified by the New Jersey Board on Attorney Certification by the New Jersey Supreme Court.

Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers® has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence because their lists are based on peer-review evaluation.1 Less than 2% of the almost 98,000 lawyers in the State of New Jersey receive this designation and there are only 19 recipients in the field of Workers’ Compensation Law – Claimants (i.e. representing workers). For years, Pellettieri Rabstein & Altman has been ranked and continues to be ranked in the 2019 U.S. News - Best Lawyers® "Best Law Firms" list. Law firms on the "Best Law Firms" list are recognized for professional excellence with persistently impressive ratings from clients and peers.2 A client may engage a workers’ compensation attorney at Pellettieri Rabstein & Altman that holds an AV Preeminent Ratings from MartindaleHubbell. Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ recognize lawyers for their strong legal ability and high ethical standards.3 Only an elite group of approximately 10 percent of all attorneys holds an AV Preeminent Rating.

Will my attorney be working on my case or will it be handled by paralegals? A client needs to be reassured that his claim is being handled by the attorney with the training, experience, skills and reputation in the area of workers’ compensation law. At Pellettieri, Rabstein and Altman, a client will meet directly with the attorney at initial consultation and in advance of any court proceedings. The attorney will return phone calls, answer questions, and answer e-mails. While paralegals assist the attorney in handling the case, every case is overseen by an attorney. What will my lawyer charge for handling my workers’ compensation case? In New Jersey, the fees in a workers’ compensation case are set by the Workers’ Compensation Judge. The Judge may award a contingent attorney fee of up to 20% of the amount recovered on a client’s claim, and that is the amount that is typically awarded. At Pellettieri, Rabstein, and Altman there is no upfront fee for consulting with a workers’ compensation attorney regarding a work injury. All fees are a contingent fee set by the Judge based on obtaining a positive result. Fees are the same for any workers’ compensation attorney you hire, therefore you want to hire the most capable attorney – one who can maximize your recovery.

Villa Victoria students Olivia Quinn (left) and Mary Zsolway hold the sign declaring the woodland habitat their class build on school grounds was certified by the National Wildlife Federation. HABITAT continued from Page 1 certification that they hadn’t anticipated achieving when the class was designed. “Environmental science class brought science to life for us,” said Summer Kellers, a senior last year from Ewing who now attends George Washington University. “Being able to see and touch natural elements made it easier to understand life cycles and how plants, trees, streams and animals are all connected,” she said. “It was fascinating to learn about ecosystems and to understand about microorganisms that we can’t even see.” Students would study the area on a weekly basis to collect data and complete research. They built bird feeders, bat houses and nesting boxes for the wildlife. They planted a tree, and main-

tained the plot by picking up litter. “Honestly, I think I almost underestimated the amount of stuff we’d do outside,” said Zsolway, who also graduated last year and is now a freshman in the Rutgers University Honors Program. “I didn’t really understand how much we’d do. We got a field journal and we got to go outside and make measurements in the stream,” she said. “We got to walk outside in the stream that I’d never even been to. That was something I didn’t really expect. That was a great example of taking what we learned in the class and putting it into practice. We took measurements so we could really see it.” The Wildlife Habitat certification came after the fact, said Jennifer Spivey, who taught the class. “The girls knew with all the tests we were going to be running you have to do them in the same spot so you don’t have too many variables, and the girls wanted to do something special with this spot. So I thought, how can we give them something special? Let’s have this as a dedicated wildlife preserve.” Spivey had 11 students in last year’s class. The elective has been offered again and 12 new students are taking it this year to continue with the work and sustaining the integrity of the habitat. “You can’t change it,” Spivey said. “You don’t want to add any invasive species, whether they be plants or anything in the stream. The goal for this area was to study it and learn from it.” She said that this year, the girls are taking the data that was collected last year and they are using it to study longterm changes. “The girls were never allowed to take any critters from it or take any plants or add anything that wouldn’t be naturally growing there,” Spivey said. Students looked forward to the class each day. When the weather got warmer, they were out almost every day to study

the habitat for 40 minutes at a time. “If we were going in the stream, we’d keep our skirts on but some people would bring shorts,” Zsolway said. “I did toward the end of the year. Once you get your skirt wet once, you don’t want to do that again.” At times, the class cut into their lunch period but they didn’t mind. They enjoyed learning outside. “Figuring out where that stream was relative to everything was a pretty wow moment for me, noticing that it ran all the way through,” Zsolway said. “At times, if we found the stream was blocked, we’d get our hands in there and scoop the stuff out so the stream would flow better. “The crayfish we saw, that’s probably the No. 1,” she said, adding that she didn;t expect to see them in a stream off the Delaware. Spivey said she enjoyed seeing the girls enthusiasm for the environment. The students responded well to the curriculum. “I wasn’t sure how the girls were going to take to it. The girls at Villa Victoria Academy, they’re very bright, they’re very open, and they love to get their hands dirty. It ended up not being a challenge to get them interested.” The stream on the site, which ties in with the Delaware River and the Delaware-Raritan Canal, was the epicenter of the studies. “We spent a lot of time testing the water flow, the current, the temperature change, the bacteria levels, the pH levels,” Spivey said. “They’d get their wading boots on every day and go out into the stream, and it made it so they couldn’t wait to do the lab. I didn’t have to convince them. They liked being involved, they liked the hands on aspect of it. They liked the challenge of it and typically girls are stereotyped to not want to get dirty or not want to see a bug, but these girls couldn’t get enough of the crayfish, the snakes, any kind of bug they could find, they couldn’t get enough of it. They would have to log what they found and research the different species. I think it was really good for them. They disproved that stereotype of being a girl, too.” The students came away feeling more knowledgeable about their environment and how to care for it. “The class changed how I viewed nature because I always admired nature and thought it was beautiful but never understood how intricate it was and how many factors can affect it,” Kellers said.

“The class showed me how important it is to respect nature and always do our part to take care of it.” Feedback was so encouraging that Spivey is teaching it again. She said that this year there would be more of a focus on non-invasive vs. invasive species. “Over the summer, I attended a workshop and I saw about six different types of beetles that are causing damage to the Ewing township area,” Spivey said. “We didn’t do this last year because I didn’t have the information, but now the girls are going to have to start to identify and see the damage done by these species. “We’re going to contact that organization because they need Ewing residents to notify them if they see any of these invasive species.” Villa Victoria is looking to maintain their certified garden while learning more about how they can see the practical application of science lessons they’ve studied like the water cycle and nitrogen cycle to the world around them. “This class allowed them to take all this prior knowledge and actually apply it and see that it does make sense and it does all come together and it is practical knowledge,” Spivey said. She said she also feels that it helped allow the help girls that don’t like to go outside and get dirty to get past those boundaries. “In my opinion, it gave the girls more leadership roles,” Spivey said. “They were each given a task, they put on their boots, they got their data sheet, and they went out and would run tests. With 11 girls I can’t sit with each girl and make sure they run the tests right so they have to really focus and pay attention and put their effort in it and run the tests the right way, which they always did.” In the end, Villa Victoria came away with a class more appreciative and aware of its environment outside, and a newly certified habitat right on its campus. Zsolway said that she is pleased that there is a sign recognizing her class’ work toward gaining certification for the habitat . “To get that certification we had to build some bird houses and some bat houses and that added a component we didn’t know was coming,” she said. “It was fun to use our hands to build some things and paint them. It was fun to do as a class.”

MANDELL continued from Page 1 the other times, Mandell, is no stranger to pushing past limits she used to have. Actually, she started out that way. Mandell was born two months premature and started her life in an incubator. Growing up in Clifton, she was exactly the opposite of what you’d expect if you were to speak to her today—quiet, reserved, introverted. Maybe more than a little afraid of trying new things. And other than playing softball, she really didn’t have an interest in sports or physical fitness. She was more social by the time she ventured to Rhode Island, to get her bachelor’s in elementary and special education at Providence College, or later her master’s at Wheelock College, in the shadow of Fenway Park in Boston. But her social life while she was trying to figure out her life was not the healthiest. One of hanging out with 20-something friends, at restaurants or bars, like 20-somethings do. “We were a mile and a half from Fenway and I loved tooling around in the city,” she said. “But at some point you’ve got to grow up a little bit.” She had been “kind of anorexic in high school,” she said, then put on a lot of weight in college. “I’m kind of all or nothing,” she said. At a certain point, she had the revelation that her lifestyle was not working for her physical or emotional health; nor was it benefiting her wallet. What really helped her shift from quiet and out-of-shape to high-energy and super-fit, though, was the guy she eventually married.

Keri Mandell, who is hoping to run the World Marathon Challenge in 2020, is the owner of emPower Yoga in Campus Town at The College of New Jersey in Ewing Township. “Meeting Dan was my first trigger to want to lose weight,” she said. That was mainly for their wedding. And since Dan ran the “bridal boot camp” program at the Y, she was inclined to stick with it. The boot camp and her joining Weight Watchers, she said, changed how she saw her relationship with food, choices, and health. The Mandells had visions of a pretty traditional life together—house, porch, kids, picket fence. Cancer had other plans for Mandell, though. She learned

in 2009 that there were cancerous cells along her cervix. So ended the dream of children, and that revelation left Mandell in a bad way. She’d stopped working out and stopped caring about much. She wouldn’t have the family she’d expected, she was sick, and she was out of work for months recovering from the post-surgery infections that came from operations to remove her cancer. In the throes of her “pity party,” a friend dropped in with an offer: “Get your

ass up and let’s go, we’re going to a yoga class,” she said. The practice of yoga, Mandell said, saved her life. The general approach of mindfulness and gratitude that yoga affords taught her a valuable lesson that “just because you can’t do something doesn’t mean life is over.” And in her all-or-nothing way, Mandell went all in on yoga. She started down the path to become a yogi herself. She figured if her body wasn’t working the way she’d expected it to, she’d make it work another way. “I wanted to be the fittest I could,” she said. “I don’t like being told there’s something I can’t do.” Plus, she wanted to reach and inspire people the way her yoga instructors had done for her. But as things were coming together for Mandell, her father and stepmother got sick. She and Dan moved to New Jersey in 2011 to help them run their business, Monmouth Mobile Home Park. Both had contracted cancer—her stepmother lung and breast and her father bone marrow. Both died a few years later, within months of one another. Her mother, Judy Roedel, is retired and lives in Northern New Jersey. Amid all this, Mandell stayed with what she calls her “fitness journey,” getting into different boot camp-style workouts and CrossFit. She was also firmly out of her formerly introverted shell by this point, which is why she decided to walk up to a woman she saw wearing a weighted vest on a treadmill and ask her what she was training for.

Call Us Today, See Us Today! Keri Mandell, pictured in 2015 gearing up for the New York City Marathon, is planning to run seven marathons in seven days on seven continents. The answer was, the Boston Marathon. Music to Mandell’s ears, and so she became a marathoner. She actually started training for a half-marathon, but remember, this is an all-or-nothing person, so she skipped right to the full marathon—although it should be noted that she’s run in something like 30 half-marathons, to complement her 10 full ones and her Ironman Triathlon (not the one in Hawaii, the one in Lake Placid, which was plenty brutal nevertheless, she said). Despite her uneasiness with flying, she’s raced around the world over the past few years, completing the six major marathons—Boston, New York, Chicago, London, Berlin, and, lastly, Tokyo —that Olympic marathoners need to qualify for. She’s not going for the Olympics, in case you’re curious. At least, not yet. In the meantime, as she was taking her fitness journey on a world tour, she left education—she was a learning disabilities consultant in the South Brunswick school system for about four years —and opened emPower Yoga in 2017. When she finished the Tokyo Marathon last February, though, Mandell had a question for herself—What am I going to do now? “I thought, ‘Why not run the world?’” she said. Which brings us up to date on where Mandell is in her fitness journey. She’s decided to run the World Marathon Challenge, which happens in January and February of every year. She plans to spend 2019 getting ready for the 2020 runs. It needs to be noted, however, that Mandell’s interest in running across the world is more than just an expensive bucket list item. Yes, she wants to do it for herself, but she’s also looking to raise money for the American Cancer Society. The entry fee, according to the World Marathon Challenge website, is 36,000 Euros, which is about $41,000. Mandell said she needs to raise $52,000 to complete the challenge, even though she will be covering her training, gear and travel to Cape Town (where all the runners gather and then head to Antarctica). She is looking for—make that actively, unapologetically petitioning—corporate sponsors to help her raise the money she

needs. After she crosses the final finish line in Miami, she wants to hand at least $10,000 over to the ACS, she said. But, Mandell is an all-or-nothing kind of person, which means she’s firmly in the go-big-or-go-home camp too. So she’s not averse to raising double those funds, which is why she is working with Michael Brown, a brand and sponsorship manager she said is helping her find the right corporate partners. Brown knows Mandell through his wife, who does CrossFit with her. He calls Mandell’s efforts to run the world for a good cause, and her personal story of vaulting one bad break after another, “the kind of story that great movies are made from.” Did we mention Mandell is also planning to video document her experience and make a film out of it? She’ll be calling Netflix about it in about two years, she said. She’s not even considering that they would say no. Meanwhile, Brown said the effort to run seven marathons in seven days on seven continents is “incomprehensible to me.” All of this is in the early stages. Mandell will begin training in earnest in 2019 and Brown will continue looking for the right sponsors. “For the right brand, this is a no-brainer, especially in this day and age of social media influencer marketing and brand storytelling,” Brown said. “People are drawn to compelling and inspiring human interest stories and Keri’s is just that. While she won’t probably admit it, Keri is an influencer and I know she can positively affect someone’s life through this challenge.” Mandell is also running a GoFundMe page (gofundme.com/world-marathonchallenge-2020) to collect money for her cause, though she’d rather tap into Corporate America’s deeper pockets and forego raising it all on GoFundMe, because of the share of income the company takes. She said she’d like to give all the extra cash to the ACS. And if she and Brown find the right sponsor and bring in that $52,000, or even $100,000, she said, she’ll be happy to cut a bigger check to the organization that’s trying to stop the disease that took both of her parents, and almost took her as well.

SAMUELS continued from Page 1 catering,” she said. But with a little help from her father, Kevin, Samuels zeroed in on the college and started making phone calls. TCNJ, she said, was immediately receptive. CIA was a little more hesitant, but came around when it realized she was serious and that TCNJ had something to offer that was useful to one of its students. For its part, Sodexo was delighted with how things turned out. “She did an outstanding job,” said Kathy Neuhauser, human resources manager of Sodexo at TCNJ. “I hope to offer Ms. Samuels a permanent position with Sodexo.” The thing that made the externship a compelling sell to CIA, Samuels said, was that Sodexo offered three layers of learning. She started off in Eickhoff Hall, where the Atrium is. Neuhauser said the eatery is what you’d expect of when thinking of large-scale student dining—large groups of people, mostly over a short period of time, and, on average, about 1,200 appetites that simply inhale the food. “You can get flustered easily,” Samuels said. “Instead of making three pounds of chicken, you make 20 pounds. It’s all giant-size [portions] and you need to know how to keep food hot, how to serve it.” She kept up, but she had to learn fast. “It wasn’t as easy as I thought it was,” she said. “You’re always moving; meeting deadlines. That was a good one.” From Eickhoff, Samuels stepped

over to Sodexo’s catering arm, where the emphasis shifted from quantity to presentation. “There’s a lot of focus on the design of the food,” she said. “Even if it’s a sandwich, it has to look appetizing. I don’t always think, ‘Oh, I have to cut this sandwich so it looks beautiful.’” Level three was Traditions, TCNJ’s on-campus restaurant, with brunch, burgers and entrees. This was the more typical setting you’d expect for a chef in training—busy kitchen, specific orders, servers, general chaos. “That taught me how to keep a level head in the kitchen,” Samuels said. “You find out fast whether you’re really cut out for this.” Turns out, she seems to be quite cut out for this. Then again, Samuels isn’t a stranger to cooking or commercial kitchens. As a girl, she would hover near her father while he cooked, and she would visit her uncle’s kitchen. He owned Avon Pavilion, a seafood restaurant at Avon-By-the-Sea. She also did some volunteer work in soup kitchens and started a culinary program through ACT-SO, a program offered through the NAACP that looks to help students of color pursue more community-minded endeavors. Samuels started studying cooking in her vo-tech program at Mercer County Technical Schools. That’s where she met Scott Engel, a chef who’d gone through CIA and who introduced her to the institute. As for being at the institute, Samuels said, “It’s a lot different from vocational

school or cooking at home.” It might sound like a huge understatement for her to say that, but under that realization is an understanding of “the seriousness of feeding people,” Samuels said. And as someone who’s always been interested in social responsibility, she’s found an avenue through food that she plans to use to help other people, particularly those who need to better understand food choices. The major Samuels is pursuing at CIA is applied food studies, which casts a wider net on how food relates to people and how people relate to food. For example, food allergies. Samuels calls them the dangerous part of being a chef. “One thing that really got me is how you have to prepare food if someone comes in with an allergy,” she said. And that’s not a matter of just leaving the peanuts out of the recipe.” “Not paying attention to food allergies is about the same as turning food into a weapon. You have to prepare it in a different area, you have to use a different pan,” she said. Past that, and past the numerous classes on nutrition, Samuels said she has been awakened to how knowing food can make her an educator, someone who helps people, especially in

Jurnee Samuels worked to set up an externship approved by the Culinary Institute of America at The College of New Jersey. poorer and less educated areas, understand the importance of what they eat—something rarely taught to them. “When I figured out we could take food and use it as medicine,” she said, “I thought, ‘That’s for me.’” This is actually fairly common at CIA, said the school’s assistant director of career ser-

vices, Ron Hayes. He said the institute’s applied food studies program concentrates on food systems and sustainability as well as food justice —in other words, recognizing that everyone has the inherent right to eat. Samuels isn’t sure what she specifically wants to do with her budding knowledge. Sodexo

has offered her part-time work on her breaks from school, which she’s considered, and she said she would certainly consider starting her career with the company. But wherever she decides to work, she knows that once she’s done with her bachelor’s program she wants to concentrate on the culinary medicine angle. She feels like she might have her work cut out for her. “People have no understanding of healthy food,” she said. Something she saw frequently at TCNJ was healthy options being snubbed in favor of burgers or chicken strips. That’s fine in measured doses, she said, but she wants students, even as young as grade school, to understand better what fuel they are putting in their tanks. She’s starting with herself. Samuels was a vegetarian in high school. She also played tennis, which sharpened her appetite and often kept her busy until later in the evenings. Eventually she realized she was just grabbing whatever food at whatever time, in a rush, and not paying attention to it, and then realized she wasn’t a vegetarian anymore. “I would be tired and sluggish, she said. “I was very lazy.” Eating non-consciously, she said, “really affects who you

are.” She managed to catch herself before things went too far afield. She started with a simple fix. “I put time aside to get something to eat,” she said. Time dedicated to actually preparing and eating, not just packing in handfuls of who-knows-what. And this, she said, is going to be a big challenge for her as an educator in the medicine of food—getting through to people so that they build healthy habits. It’s a challenge, but I’m ready for it,” she said. And remember, her feet already got wet serving meals in a soup kitchen. It was here, she said, that the weight of what she was doing really hit her. “People are crying because you give them food,” she said. This was her project through ACT-SO, and it turns out it had the desired effect on her direction. “It really gave me a lot of hope that I can do big things,” she said. And that lesson at least had some grounding from her parents, who she said have always impressed upon her that when you have something, you need to give part of it back. “Both are really into making sure, you have to help other people,” she said.

Franks’ leadership helps young members of EHS bowling team By Justin Feil Mike Franks’ first bowling ball came out of the trash. It was rescued by his grandfather and helped to jump start Franks’ career. “One of his neighbors down the street was throwing out some old stuff and he saw a bowling ball,” Franks said. “He picked that up and Chip Slocum (of Slocum’s Bowling Center) drilled it out and fitted it to me. He was the one that helped me learn how to throw the ball and got me going with it.” Franks was a sixth grader just starting to get into bowling. He bowled after middle school for fun in a league, an innocent start to a sport that has since taken off. “The first year I wasn’t so sure on it,” Franks said. “I definitely enjoyed it and that’s what got me into wanting to do it more. It’s fun. That’s why I continued to go with it.” Franks was a freshman last year when he cracked into the Ewing High School boys bowling team lineup. He felt the pressure of bowling for the unbeaten Blue Devils. “All through bowling season, that’s all I was focusing on,” Franks said. “Every night I was going out and bowling, even

when we didn’t have practice. This year it’s not as stressful because I’m used to going to the different bowling lanes and being able to adjust to them.” Now a sophomore, he’s one of the most experienced bowlers in Ewing’s lineup. The team was 3-1 as of Dec. 17, suffering its first loss, 3-1, to Cinnaminson on Dec. 14. “I didn’t think we’d do as good this year because we lost a lot of good bowlers (to graduation),” Franks said. “Everyone has been working together and helping each other to improve. There’s been a lot of positive energy and we’re all happy to be there and bowling at our best.” The boys’ varsity also includes Nick Canavera, Kyle DeLutis, Jimmy McSweeney and Aiden Reid. JV members are Philip Bassett, Morris Glover, Alex Zuchowski, Joe Lenarski, Jared Testa, Jayson Fleurant and Jacob Elam. Ewing head coach Dave Angebranndt said he lost three of the five varsity bowlers from last year. “I have a really deep freshman and sophomore class. I luckily had about seven freshmen come in this year, four or five of which aren’t bad bowlers as freshman, they’re just young. They’re just not throwing a heavy ball, but their form isn’t bad.”

Bowler Mark Franks during a 4-0 win against Pennsauken at Slocum’s Bowling Center on Dec. 13, 2018. (Photo by Suzette J. Lucas.) The Ewing girls also had some turnover and only has eight bowlers. The girls varsity has Ruka Ahmed, Amelia Baffuto, Jasani Burgess, Sierra Reid, Olivia Ross, Louisa Scozzaro and Jazmyn Willis. The Blue Devils have been bowl-

ing without Willis, one of their best bowlers, due to injury. As of Dec, 20, the team was 4-2, suffering a 3-1 loss to Pemberton and a 4-0 loss to Medford Tech. “Ruka, she’s a senior and she’s been bowling two years,” Angebranndt said. “She stepped up the first two matches and has been bowling decent. She’ll have to step up the next month or two, until Jazmyn comes back. “Sierra Reed, a freshman, has come in and almost filled in where Jazmyn left off. I’m in a pretty decent position when it comes to ages. I’ll have a good group of guys and girls for the next four years that could do surprising things around the area.” Franks is a big part of the Ewing boys’ present and future. Only he and McSweeney, a senior, have significant varsity experience. Angebranndt has seen a lot of development in Franks—he’s come back a better bowler than a year ago, and it’s shown in his early matches. “He was good last year,” Angebranndt said. “He worked really hard to get where he was. He’s worked even harder this offseason to get better. He’s averaging 228 right now in two matches.” Angebranndt credits the improvement to Franks dedication to developing

his game. He didn’t rest on his achievements as a freshman and has returned with evidence of his work. “Consistency. Repetitiveness,” Angebranndt noted. “That’s what bowling is all about, that’s what sports is all about. It’s staying consistent. His mindset is in a better place. He’s not as cautious, he’s not as tentative. He’s matured a lot within a year. I think he understands his potential. He wants to be one of the best bowlers in the area. I think if he keeps working at it, he’ll be one of the best bowlers in the county and league we’re in.” Franks made progress since last year. His practice time focused on making himself more consistent. “Last year I would go up there and make a good shot, and I’d go up again and try to do it and sometimes it’d work and sometimes it wouldn’t. In the offseason, I tried to work on hitting the same mark over and over again and trying to do everything the same. “What’s better is my timing is a lot better, my steps and my approach are all smoother, my ball release has gotten better and I’ve gotten more consistent with hitting my mark.” Franks has a work ethic that extends to anything he tries. Last year, following bowling season, he gave lacrosse a try at the urging of a friend. “It was a spur of the moment type thing but I said I’d try out,” Franks said. “I went down to the coach and asked him and I joined so late that I wasn’t cleared for the very first game of the season. It was my first time ever playing. The first

I worked hard in that and also got my varsity letter in that.” Franks has seen steady developments in his bowling since he took up the game. He credits Slocum with helping him to get started and fostering his love of the game, and Angebranndt for adding motivation throughout his young high school career. Just joining the Ewing team played a key role. “I started off in JV and I would fill in

for varsity because there was only a few pins difference in our averages,” Franks said. His teammates treated him the same as any of the senior bowlers. They were encouraging throughout his first season, which added to his uplifting experience. “I was happy that I found something that I could do and I was pretty good at, and I was also happy with the way everyone was,” Franks said. “I wasn’t the best, and when I’d miss, everyone on the team would be like, ‘Shake it off, you’re going

to do better on the next one.’ Everything was positive. I came into it thinking, I’m going to mess up and get laughed at, but everyone worked together.” Now Franks is trying to make sure the same happens for his less experienced team members this year. The fast start for the team has been promising. “We all have each other’s back,” he said. “If I go up and make a bad shot, they’re all watching and saying what I should do to fix it or make that shot a little better. Jimmy McSweeney is helping out a lot with that. He’s the senior on the team.” Angebranndt says Franks is a bigger help to the team than he admits. He is an important part who can connect with sophomore classmates and freshmen. “He definitely comes off as a big brother kind of person,” Angebranndt said. “They look up to him even though he’s only a sophomore. He’s been a role model for a number of kids. He’s been a member of the junior leagues together with them and they’ve grown up together. They look at him as a mature senior, but he’s only a sophomore. He’ll take some of these kids under his wing and help them.” By doing so Franks believes that he can help Ewing continue to be among the best teams in the area, one that will only improve as it gains experience this year and beyond. “I’m already happy with how good of a start we’re having. The main goal is I want to go positive with the scores, which I think we’ll do with no problem,” Franks said.

Adopt-a-Survivor Program Begins at Ewing High School

Teacher of the Year Recipients are5th Honored Parkway Grade

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 families suffered.

The Ewing Public Schools EHS Cheerleaders Win Title!

The Ewing High School cheerleaders participated in the ultra-competitive Colonial Valley Conference Cheerleading Championships earlier this year and walked away with first place honors. The Blue Devils cheerleaders put on an impressive, crowd-pleasing performance to claim the crown in their classification. It was a long, arduous trek to the championship for the cheerleaders. Over the past five months, the 23-person EHS cheerleading team worked tire-

lessly to prepare for the CVC Annual Cheer Classic. The team began training over the summer at weight room sessions and practices which included a week-long cheer camp where they learned their competition routine. As the year evolved, the girls practiced every day in order to hone their skills and attain the level of performance which was demonstrated at the competition. “The girls were always dedicated to making themselves and the team the very best it could be,” Co-coach Katlin Doolan stated. “From staying late to always seeking improvement, they were focused and determined throughout the year.” “We are so incredibly proud of each and everyone one of the girls and their championshipwinning routine,” Co-coach Amanda Salvitty remarked. “As coaches we could not have asked for a better team or a better outcome for our season.” A video of their winning performance can be found on the district Twitter feed.

Parkway Second Graders Share Sweet Gift with Soldiers Parkway's second graders participated in a special event that highlighted the ‘season of giving’, the "Cookies for Troops" event. Second graders packaged hundreds of cookies and created holiday cards for soldiers currently deployed overseas. Additional cards were created by other Parkway students. Cookies were donated by second grade families, Parkway staff, and some cookies were even baked personally by the students themselves in the Parkway cafeteria! Throughout the project students could be overheard saying how they hoped the cookies and cards would make the soldiers smile and bring them holiday spirit even though they can’t come home.

The donation of four large boxes full of cookies as well as over 150 cards was donated to “Operation Yellow Ribbon”, an organization out of South Jersey that mails care packages to troops deployed overseas. ‘Operation Yellow Ribbon” also organizes welcome home celebrations when soldiers return to New Jersey.

Scarves for Antheil Students

At Lore Wishes Do Come True!

At Antheil, Rachel Muentener, our School Social Worker’s Grandmother hand knitted and donated over 400 scarves to our Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade students. Mrs. Muentener is originally from Czechoslovakia and is a recent retiree, working in the educational field for over 40 years. The students loved the scarves and thanked Mrs. Muentener for her time and kindness!

Lore, once again hosted their traditional “Giving Tree” this holiday season. The tree was decorated with assortment of colorful paper ornaments that listed children’s wish items. The project benefitted both One Simple Wish, a local non-profit organization dedicated to granting wishes to children in foster care, and families in the Lore community. Thank you for helping make a difference in the life of a child!

Referendum Roundup Welcome to the first Referendum Roundup of 2019!

On November 27, 2018, the board held the bond sale related to the referendum projects. The district received bids from five banks, and awarded the bid to Bank of America/ Merrill Lynch at a net interest cost of 3.698%. “Although this was the lowest bid, the others were all in a similar range which indicates that all banks really wanted a shot at the bonds as we had a really attractive package,” School Business Administrator Dennis Nettleton commented. “According to our financial advisors at Acacia Financial, our successful and competitive sale is testament to our strong financial management, AA- bond rating, and the size and timeline of our bonds.” The next step in this process was for the bond sale to be finalized in mid-December. Currently, the administrative team and the district’s professionals are finalizing the schedule of projects and completing design work related to the first set of projects expected to begin early in 2019. Please look to future referendum roundups for continued updates on the Referendum ‘18 project status!

The Ewing Public Schools Senior Spotlight: Meet Henry Hutchinson What do you like best about Ewing High School? My favorite part of Ewing High School is the opportunities I have been given through my educational journey. I was able to play baseball and participate in Math League. I was given the chance to be a Peer Leader. I had the opportunity to meet people that changed my life. The opportunities at Ewing High School for self-improvement and growth are unmatched and make this high school unique. Who is your favorite teacher(s) or coach, why? My favorite teachers at Ewing High School are Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Masterson. Mrs. Hill provided the optimum learning experience to engulf yourself in a language. She consistently made French an enjoyable language to pursue. Mrs. Masterson allowed students to find a passion for reading and writing unmatched by any another teacher. In which activities do you participate? Within the school I participate in the Peer Leadership program where I help mentor a group of freshmen and help them successfully assimilate into life in high school. I am a member of the National Honor Society, an organization focused

on service. I also play for the Ewing High School Varsity Baseball team. Outside of school I actively participate in many activities in my church, Princeton Community Church. I help lead the middle school youth group as well as the children’s ministry. What is your favorite memory of high school? My favorite memory of high school is my freshman year when I was graciously given the chance to pitch at the Varsity Baseball game against Steinert. I was the smallest kid on the baseball team, yet the coaching staff believed in me. My teammates supported me and allowed me to have an outstanding varsity debut. We lost the game handily, but it felt like a victory in the grand scheme of my life. What do you do outside of school? My life outside of school is often spent at Princeton Community Church. I am a regular attendee of the youth group, which meets every Sunday and Wednesday night. I work at Cafe 72 every Saturday as a Busser. Who or what has impacted your life in a positive way? My life has been positively impacted by an innumerable amount of people. My friends Zach Cantalice, Anthony Isaacs, and Kyle Sul-

livan have stood by my side when I was not sure where my life was heading. They allowed me to find myself and my purpose just by being present and giving me an opportunity to experience joy. Anna Gaylord, Lexi Laflin, and Nat Staub are friends who change lives without ever realizing it. My family gives me opportunities that I do not deserve. They support me through every adventure I am called into and their unfettering love remains. My church has provided me a family I can turn to when I struggle. They are a constant in my life that I appreciate more and more every time we meet. How do you define success? Success is a fulfillment of one’s purpose. If I can live out the life I am being called into I will have lived the most successful life imaginable. What are your plans after you graduate? Upon graduation, I plan on attending Eastern University to study philosophy and theology and work towards ministry in the Christian Church. Where do you see yourself in five years? In five years I see myself seeking an adventure, looking for opportunities wherever they lie. I do not know what the future holds for me, but I plan on making the most of it.

January is School Board Recognition Month! Board of Education members are unpaid volunteers who devote a tremendous amount of time to serve the community. In honor of this event, we asked our Board members what they found to be the most rewarding aspect of their work: What do you find most rewarding about serving on the Board of Education? Karen McKeon (President): During my tenure, I am most proud of being able to maintain favorable class sizes throughout the district and the expansion of extracurricular activities. These elements enhance a child’s overall education which in turn leads to greater success academically. Looking ahead, the passing of the bond referendum will update and improve the district’s facilities for future generations. It is very rewarding to have the support of the Ewing community as we move ahead with this endeavor. Anthony Messina (Vice President): Watching our students grow as students and individuals as they make their way through their time in the EWING Schools!

Carl Benedetti: To be able to serve a district, that provided me with so much during my K-12 education, has been incredibly rewarding, and has brought me immense pride. Being an advocate for my alma mater is a great privilege, and one that I plan on doing for as long as I can. Maria Benedetti: What I find most rewarding is seeing the Board’s efforts come to fruition, which in turn, makes it possible for the students in our district to thrive, grow and succeed. Ken Bradley: The most rewarding thing about serving on The Ewing Township School Board is that I am on a governing body that has a direct impact on our children’s future, and on our community development. I am serving on my Fifth (3 year) term. I hope that serving on the board has had a positive effect on our children and the future of our community. This is a position of great responsibility and I hope that the citizens who elected me to serve have been pleased with my services thus far.

Dr. Channing Conway: What I enjoy most about serving on the Ewing Board of Education is having the opportunity to serve the community by doing what’s best for all students. Lisa McConnell: Giving back to the school community that I grew up in and ensuring that the next generation of Ewing kids will have the same opportunities for a great education available to them. Stephanie Staub: Creating opportunities for Ewing students to grow is what I find most rewarding. Those opportunities come in many forms - new curriculum or technology added in the classroom, expanded athletic or art programs, clubs and activities - any forum where students can find their passion and excel will give them confidence, selfassurance, and personal growth. Bruce White: I have found most rewarding observing and being part of the students (and their families) academic and varied extra-curricular achievements in the Ewing Public Schools.

District Honored for School Safety Initiatives In early December the Ewing Public Schools were recognized for their efforts in the area of Safety Management at the annual State of the Fund meeting for the Burlington County Insurance Pool Joint Insurance Fund. The district has been a part of the fund since 2015 and was recognized with three awards for outstanding performance in claims processing, claims management, and for safety. The district was commended for its recent efforts to improve safety and workplace climate for staff and students. The safety award is the fund’s highest honor, the Safety Elite II Award. The awards also came with a check back to the district in the amount of $3,000 which the district can use to support their safety initiatives. “I have to thank our hardworking staff in the business office for their skill and professionalism,” School Business Administrator Dennis Nettleton commented. “Also, all of our employees have been working hard to make sure our schools are as safe as possible as they support our students, and we are appreciative of their efforts.”

part of practices shows the way that she has changed since last year when she was a freshman in her first year of high school swimming. For Ewing, she’s already become a major addition in and out of the pool. “I’m looking forward to Emily’s future with the team,” Devlin said. “Last year, she didn’t quite make it back for finals at the Mercer County Tournament. That’s going to be a goal of ours. In our dual meets, she’s a solid competitor. She earns lots of first- and second-place finishes. She earns lots of points for our team and she’ll be a high point scorer.” Czelusniak has come back stronger and faster for this season. She already went a personal-best 1:08.23 in the 100 fly in the season opener against talented Princeton, and clocked a best of 1:20.40 to win the 100 breast at Robbinsville. Czelusniak has enjoyed individual suc-

cess, but looks forward to the relays for their camaraderie. Greschak, Ariunbold and Penner had Ewing neck and neck with Steinert after three legs before Czelusniak pulled them away for the win in the 200 free relay. “High school, they have so much energy and enthusiasm,” Czelusniak said. “They make me smile. The whole team is at the end of my lane cheering me on and they make me want to go faster. I love cheering for them too.” Czelusniak and the Blue Devils will continue to chase new best times and higher goals. She is looking forward to helping her teammates develop any way she can. “As a team, we want to just keep dropping time and improving their strokes,” Czelusniak said. “We’re trying new things and having fun. That’s really what it’s all about.”

Looking back and looking ahead By Helen Kull

$1 TO ENROLL ON ALL MEMBERSHIPS

For the past few years, I’ve begun the column year with a “quiz” in January, which I’ve been told people enjoy it (and it makes researching and preparing the column in busy December that much less time-consuming!). Therefore, I’ll start 2019 off with some questions from material from 2018’s columns. If you read the columns, let’s see what you remember —just for fun! I promise no grading! (And the answers are below). Februar y: What Ewing church congregation celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2018? Hint: It evolved from the former Birmingham Sunday School. March: Another 100 year anniversary was noted in my March column this past year, but this one was unfortunately dark and tragic, and recognized a global event that especially impacted young adults. What event that marked its 100 year point this year did the column describe? April: Many believe one of the finest sportscars ever built was a model produced in the early 1910s here in Mercer County. What were the names of the company that produced the car, and the model of the car? May: The Ewing Church Cemetery dates back to 1709, and is the final resting place for nearly 40 veterans of the Revolutionary War. What type of soldier is the vast majority of those veterans: one from Washington’s Continental Army, or one from a local militia group? June: The column began a virtual “journey” to Ewingville in 2018. Settlement of the Ewingville area began in the

1700s, and the Ewingville area was then known by the name of the tavern located at the crossroads of today’s Pennington Road and Ewingville Road. What was that name? July: What is the name of the Founding Father and NJ signer of the Declaration of Independence from right here in the Ewing/Hopewell area? August: Ewingville was the location of a popular activity in rural areas of the country in the late 1800s, to which people came from miles around—by wagon or trolley—to watch. What activity was held there? September: In the early 1920s, a tract of land which included the location of the “August activity” (above) was purchased by this gentleman. A local inventor and businessman, he was a very successful entrepreneur who developed the field of commercial refrigeration. What was his name? October: The same inventor and businessman moved to Ewingville, and created a popular “resort” destination, with water and leisure activities, and dining and dancing. What was the name of the restaurant/destination? November: Eventually the resort closed, and the land was purchased by the State for yet another purpose. What was constructed there? December: The “namesakes” mentioned in the December column memorialize people who contributed to education in New Jersey in significant ways. Their names are found where? Now, onward to 2019! I plan to continue “wandering around” Ewingville. If you have a story to tell, or some history or photos to share, about the Ewingville section of Ewing, please consider sharing them with me and this column’s readers. To do so, please email me at ewingthenandnow@gmail.com. In the meantime, here’s wishing you all a happy, healthy and historic 2019!

If you read the columns, let’s see what you remember.

Shopping for the dream dress By Ilene Black

Our youngest son is getting married in October. He’s marrying a wonderful young woman and the wedding planning is in full swing. We couldn’t be more excited! Less exciting is the fact that I, as mother of the groom (or MOG for short), need a gown for the wedding. Now, if you have read any of my previous columns, you are aware that gown shopping is my least favorite thing to do, next to getting a colonoscopy or getting a tooth pulled. But gown shopping I shall do, and I shall find the perfect gown, and hopefully no one will be hurt in the process. I am not fond of clothes shopping. I tend to order most of my clothes online. I do not like rummaging through racks of clothes and then trying clothes on. And I am not good at it. What I like on a hanger or mannequin looks absolutely horrifying on me 99.9 percent of the time. Hence my penchant for online shopping. At least at home I can try on what I ordered and I can curse and swear without offending anyone or getting arrested. But this occasion calls for me to step up and go shopping. This does not mean that I haven’t looked online for gowns. I have. A lot. Frequently. I have seen a ton of gowns that I absolutely love. Unfortunately, the models are usually several sizes smaller than me (make that SEVERAL SIZES SMALLER), and I am fashion-savvy enough to realize that those gowns may not necessarily look as good on me. Online gown shopping has helped me to create a list of what I do and don’t want in a MOG gown. 1. I do not want a trumpet-shaped, mermaid, or any tight-fitting gown. I plan to do some sitting during the wedding, so therefore a skin-tight gown is O-U-T! My luck, I’d rip the whole back seam out and then I wouldn’t be able to dance the mother-son dance without

flashing all the guests. 2. I do want a scoop neck. Not plunging neck. Scoop, sweetheart, oval, whatever you call it, I want it. No high neck or off-the shoulder or asymmetrical or deep v-neck….no. Scoop neck. That’s it. 3. I would prefer not to have sleeves but since my upper arms are not quite as firm as they once were (they jiggle like Jell-O, if you must know), I’m thinking that a sleeve may be best. But I sweat. And not a delicate little sheen of perspiration, either. I’m talking soaking wet, hair dripping, drenching sweat. So a sheer sleeve, or a lace sleeve is probably best. (I plan to pack at least two anti-perspirant/deodorants in my MOG tote bag given to me by my dear friend Terri. And a few bath-size towels). 4. I am wearing navy blue. I look good in navy blue. I look better in red, but I’m thinking that red is not appropriate for the MOG. I also look good in white. But someone else who is way more important than the MOG is wearing white that day, so navy blue for me it is. 5. It cannot be a ball gown. I would literally look like a short cupcake in a ball gown. And cupcake is not the look I’m striving for. So ixnay on the ballgown look. 6. It cannot be an empire-waist. Trust me when I say that a high waist is not a good look for me. I would look approximately 5 or 6 months pregnant, and again, I am thinking that that look is definitely not appropriate for the MOG. 7. It maybe can have a waist. That depends on any weight loss that may occur over the next month or so. I’m not hopeful nor am I actively pursuing that activity, but I’m not ruling it out. A stomach flu or three may assist me in that endeavor. One never knows. Soon it will be time to turn off the computer and go out and actually look at gowns and <shudder> try them on. I am actually kinda looking forward to it a little. And, doggone it, I need girly, grownup, gowny shoes too. More on that later.
