Reels, jigs and more: Irish music in Hopewell

Teen vaping on the rise

All that jazz

By RichaRD J. sKelly It is no surprise that Irishborn singer Fiona Tyndall makes educating her audience a part of her shows. She is the daughter of two teachers, and enjoys sharing the tales behind the tunes as much as she enjoys singing them. On Saturday, March 2, audiences will have the opportunity to get some of that musical education when Tyndall and her band present “Shamrock and Thistle” at the Hopewell United Methodist Church. The program will include Scottish poetry and songs from Robert Burns, old Irish folk ballads, and new songs by contemporary Irish singer-songwriters. “We do a lot of traditional Irish and Scottish music, a lot of reels and jigs,” she says. Now living in Belle Mead, Tyndall is carrying on an Irish family tradition. Her parents, Buadhach and Ida Toibin, were also musicians who taught their three sons and two daughters traditional Irish folk ballads in their home in Ennis, County Clare, not far from the famed Cliffs of Moher. Tyndall’s passion, music, has also seen some packing and unpacking over the years. It was partially put on hold when she went to study nursing in Dublin. But that nonmusical interlude was when she met her future husband, David, now the senior director of research and See IRISH, Page 16

Science fair changes with the times By Michele alPeRin Already a science and technology wonk in junior high school in Falls River, Massachusetts, Titusville resident Jonathan Allen, secretary and board member of the Mercer Science and Engineering Club, competed in science fairs by demonstrating high-voltage effects with a Ford spark coil and building a ham radio transmitter. “Science fairs have changed a lot,” Allen says. Back in “the old days,” science fair entries were more a build-it project, an

engineering project. But today the focus is largely on doing science: testing a hypothesis, performing experiments, doing research, coming to conclusions, writing them up, and presenting them orally. In particular for the senior level, grades 9 to 12, he says, it’s almost like presenting at a scientific conference. Although there are still engineering projects, it has to be some attempt to discover something new or innovate. The Mercer County Science Fair, which has been running

for 65 years, is the primary activity of the Mercer Science and Engineering Club (founded after its predecessor, the Engineers Club of Trenton, disbanded). The fair is open to all students in grades 4 through 12 attending school in Mercer County, including home schooling. The fair includes three divisions: elementary, grades 4 and 5; junior, grades 6 to 8; senior, grades 9 to 12. The fair will run from Sunday, March 17 to Tuesday, March 19, with the awards cereSee SCIENCE, Page 8

E-cigarettes are not new. But there are trends in the usage of e-cigarettes among teens that are new, and alarming. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say that more than one in five high school students has vaped in the past 30 days, as well as five percent of middle schoolers. To put those numbers in perspective, fewer than three adults in a hundred were current e-cigarette users in 2018. With those figures in mind, the Hopewell Valley Municipal Alliance will host a community forum on the trend of vaping, juuling and e-cigarettes among youth at 7 p.m. on March 28 in the Performing Arts Center at the high school. Smoking policy expert Kevin Schroth will give a presentation, which will be followed by a panel discussion featuring a physician from Princeton Nassau Pediatrics as well as administrators from the middle and high schools and at least one recent CHS alumnus.

Longtime chiropractor Dr. Fogler also treating weight loss

William Fogler with his daughters Kyla, left, and Ava, hiking last summer in the Delware Water Gap.

Eighteen years ago Dr. William Fogler returned to his hometown, and opened up his first chiropractic office in Hopewell Borough. He then opened a second office above the Stop and Shop on Denow Road. Then six years ago he made the move to solo practice in the Pennington Market Shopping Center. “I am born and bred in Hopewell. It was a great place to grow up, and is a great place to raise a family”, Fogler said. He attended Hopewell Valley Schools K-12, and currently his two daughters go to school in the district. While growing up, Fogler was an active soccer player, swimmer, and track runner. He continued his education at the University of South Florida, majoring in business. “When I was in college I was dating a girl whose father was a chiropractor. Her father explained what he did from a health and wellness standpoint, working with healing a body. What he taught me made a lot of sense. He adjusted me, and in only two visits the restless legs I had since childhood was gone. I made the decision then, that’s what I’m going to do.” From the University of South Florida, Fogler graduated, with honors, as a Doctor of Chiropractic from Life University in Marietta, Georgia. Now, in addition to chiropractic, Dr. Fogler is helping people safely and effectively lose weight. The program is called ChiroThin, a six week natural diet program designed solely for chiropractors to administer. “It is a whole food, low-glycemic, and anti-inflammatory diet,” explains Dr. Fogler. The program involves being monitored weekly to check the patient’s progress. In Dr. Fogler’s experience patients lose on average 21 pounds in six weeks and drop two to three dress sizes. The current record for the office is 45 pounds in just six weeks. “People are burning fat on this diet and losing inches,” Dr.Fogler said. “Because this eating plan reduces inflammation, many patients are also lowering their blood pressure and blood sugars, and reducing joint pain throughout their bodies. Many have been able to reduce or eliminate their diabetes medicine, because their bodies are starting to function as they are supposed to,” Dr. Fogler said. After the six weeks, patients are re-assessed. Dr. Fogler takes into account how much weight was lost, the patient’s lifestyle, and what their goals are moving forward. Dr. Fogler said, “The patients are able to keep the weight off after they finish the six weeks, because they have the tools to know how to do it. The program will get the weight off, but more importantly, it helps establish new eating behaviors for long term success.” As for Dr. Fogler, he continues to lead an active lifestyle and is always on the go, especially with his two daughters. If you’d like more information about the program, please call the office at 609-737-2006 or stop by in person at his office in the Pennington Market Shopping Center. You can also look up Fogler Chiropractic on Facebook or www.Foglerchiropractic.com. The consultation to see if you are a good candidate for this program is always free. Space is limited though, as Dr. Fogler works personally with each patient he accepts. 4Hopewell Express | March 2019

iNBoX Township’s political parties united in fight against pipeline It seems to me that Hopewell Township Mayor Kristin McLaughlin and potential running mates Andrew Borders and Courtney Peters-Manning are attempting to pirate the bipartisan, townshipwide, long-running fight against the PennEast Pipeline for themselves and their political party. The problem is that trying to revise easily proven facts is never a good idea. Ever since PennEast proposed their plan for this unneeded pipeline, all local Republicans and Democrats, both as candidates and on the every Hopewell Township Committee, have unanimously, consistently and strongly opposed the PennEast Pipeline. A brief review of important legislation during those early years is helpful to understand their troublesome attempt to re-write history. On Oct. 14, 2014, the Township Committee, led by Democrats, unanimously passed Resolution 14-309, which opposed the PennEast pipeline project. On July 27, 2015, the Township Committee, led by Republicans, unanimously passed Resolution 15-254, which

opposed giving the PennEast Pipeline survey access to the Ted Stiles Preserve at Baldpate Mountain as well as prohibited the PennEast Pipeline from surveying all Township-owned land. On July 28, 2015, the board of health, led by Republicans, unanimously passed Resolution 2015-2, following a groundbreaking testimonial public hearing, which found that the PennEast Pipeline posed an unreasonable and significant risk to the health and safety of the citizens of Hopewell Township. On Oct. 26, 2015, the township committee, led by Republicans, unanimously passed, with both Democrats absent, Resolution 15-336, which prohibited the PennEast Pipeline from surveying in the public right-of-way. From 2016 to 2019, the township committee, led by Democrats, has enjoyed Republican support in fighting the PennEast Pipeline, every step of the way. Har vey Lester Titusville

Pennington School “Pennyroyal” editors Caleigh Calhoun, Emily Moini, Lizzy Adams, Julia Peters, Shae Calhoun and Corrine Coakley pose to celebrate their “superior” rating by the National Council of Teachers of English. The Pennington School was one of only five schools in New Jersey to receive a “superior” rating by the National Council of Teachers of English Recognizing Excellence in Art and Literary Magazines (REALM) Award for Pennington’s 2018 literary magazine, Pennyroyal. English teacher Jon Lemay served as adviser for the magazine, and it was edited by students Caleigh Calhoun and Shae Calhoun of Stockton, Corrine Coakley, Megan Eckerson and Julia Peters of Pennington, Ayanna Johnson of Ewing and Emily Moini of Princeton. Eckerson, the editor-in-chief, said there are not enough words to describe how wonderful it feels or the magazine to be rated superior. “I remember stepping into my role as editor-in-chief and feeling scared that I was not the right person for the job. This just proves I had nothing to be afraid of,” she said. In addition to receiving a certificate denoting their award, the names of the student editors, literary adviser, and the School appeared on the NCTE website. The Pennington School is an independent coeducational school for students in grades 6 through 12, in both day and boarding programs. On the web: pennington.org.

Nature of Pennington inspires local author

The D&R Greenway will continue its celebration of trees with a workshop and nature walk on Thursday, March 21 at 5 p.m. In the Company of Trees author Andrea Fereshteh will lead a meditation workshop focused on trees, healing and nature. Beginning at the Johnson Education Center, participants will have the opportunity to walk through Green-

way Meadows Park, pausing to ignite the senses at different points and experience the benefits of being immersed in nature. The event will take place at D&R Greenway’s Johnson Education Center, 1 Preservation Place, Princeton. Fereshteh says she found her peace and passion in the woods near her home in Pennington. A native of the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, Fereshteh grew up climbing all the trees in her yard and hiking near the Blue Ridge Parkway. After she moved to New Jersey in 2011, her journeys on local trails led her to write a blog post for the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy that led to Simon & Schuster asking her to write an inspiring and poetic book about trees. Her newly published book is full of short essays, inspirational quotes and color photographs that can be enjoyed piece-by-piece, allowing the reader to savor the experience. Fereshteh credits the lands preserved by D&R Greenway and other local conservation groups as having inspired her writing about the ancient and enduring wisdom of trees. “Practicing being present in nature has been a truly transformative experience for me,” Fereshteh says. “We are so lucky to have so many amazing preserved natural spaces in our area. They are incredible resources for experiencing firsthand the magic of nature, and I am thrilled to encourage others to get outside and take advantage of our local trails by sharing this new book.” A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Georgetown University, Fereshteh writes for educational institutions, nonprofits and freelance publications. She has been practicing yoga and meditation for more than a decade and leads weekly meditation sessions in the tradition of John Main, OSB,

the Roman Catholic priest and Benedictine monk who presented a form of meditation using a prayer-phrase or mantra. Fereshteh’s interest in blending mindful and contemplative practices with nature led her into the woods of central New Jersey where she has practiced forest bathing for the past two years. The event is free to attend, but registration is required. Email rsvp@drgreenway.org or call (609) 924-4646. On the web: drgreenway.org.

SCIENCE continued from Page 1 mony that March 19, 7 p.m. For detailed information, go to mercersec.org. For many years, Allen has judged the senior-level physical science entries in the fair, and since he first got involved, he has seen more participation by girls, which he finds very encouraging. They have also drawn in some schools from Trenton where, he says, “it is often difficult to get the resources to do these sorts of things.” To try to make the fair open to all, they charge no entry fee. One girl who will be participating this year is Pennington resident Aryana Deshpande, a seventh grader at Chapin School, who drew on her seven-year passion for flying paper airplanes in creating her science project. Her project analyzed the effect of wing loading (the mass of the entire plane divided by the area both wings) on the plane’s glide ratio (how far forward it flies for a onemeter drop). She hypothesized that as the wing load increased, the glide ratio would increase as well. After researching the four factors contributing to a plane’s flight—thrust, lift, drag, and gravity— she thought drag, the acting force that pulls something backward, would be the biggest effect. To test her hypothesis, she set up in her Tae Kwon Do gym, where she placed a ladder next to the mirror, set up a tape measure along the mirror. She had 20 paper airplanes of the same style, divided into four groups based on their different wing loadings. She used group 3, with “the middlemost wing loading” as her control. Standing on the ladder, she gave each plane the slightest push (to make it a more controlled experiment), then measured the distance it traveled. She averaged the measurements within each group to diminish the effects of swerving planes. Her results caused her to reject her hypothesis, and she now thinks that lift was a bigger factor [than drag]. “For lift to contribute the most to an airplane’s flying, it needs to have a very large wing area because air is pushing on the top and the bottom of the wing as well,” she says. Jacob Wu, last year’s runner up at the Mercer County Science Fair and winner of fourth place in environmental sciences at the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), is a Princeton resident and senior at The Lawrenceville School. Wu also participated as a seventh grader and as a high school sophomore. His broader interest in biological and health sciences grew out of his own struggles with allergies and asthma, but the specific idea for last year’s project came when he and other students in the Hutchins Program at Lawrenceville measured pollution levels in the a local pond. The pollution was higher than he would have expected, and, Wu says, “it got me interested in where that pollution comes from [fertilizers and pesticides] and what I could do about it.” He was seeking a solution that would make pesticides stick better to plant leaves, thereby reducing runoff, and after experimenting with 30 different combinations, he came up with one containing

He has now filed for a patent on the solution. Anne Wong is the fair director, and ensures that projects satisfy safety and other standards set by the ISEF. Bill Wong, president of the Mercer Science and Engineering Club, got involved in the fair when all three of their children, one at Villa Victoria Academy in Ewing and two at The Pennington School, entered projects in the fair. The Mercer County Science Fair usually gets about 200 students, but about a decade ago they hit a high of 450. “It’s all dependent on how active the schools are,” Bill says, admitting that outreach is one of the challenges they face. “We try to involve as many people as possible. It’s interesting—there is an emphasis on STEM in schools, but not necessarily on fairs.” One teacher who does feed students into the fair is Lawrence resident Kerry McQuarrie, who has been teaching sixth to eighth grade science for 19 years at Chapin School. She requires every seventh grader to do an independent science fair project. “I encourage them to pick something they are going to be passionate about,” she says. “They brainstorm and submit several projects, and I conference with each of the students [to select a project].” Students present first to their classmates, then to parents, teachers, and students of all grades at an evening curriculum fair. For Deshpande, the “more nervewracking one … was speaking in front of my classmates. We had to do speeches and explain the project for three to five minutes. You had to actually rehearse it and make sure it was cohesive and sounded good.” But during the evening event “people would walk over and you would give a summary of the project and whether [your hyphothesis] was accepted or rejected.” For the students, McQuarrie says, doing these science projects “boosts their confidence. Even if science is not See SCIENCE, Page 13

Jonathan Allen, a Titusville resident, is secretar y of the Mercer Science and Engineering Club, which runs the annual Mercer Science and Engineering Fair. SCIENCE continued from Page 8 necessarily their favorite subject, they realize they can do science and that science is not just memorizing facts.” McQuarrie also encourages her students to present their projects at the Mercer County Science Fair, she says, “because science should not just be limited to the classroom, and so they can have exposure and get recognized through their work.” The fair gives awards, as do some of its affiliates, listed on the website. The elementary division is self-contained, but at the junior level some participants will have the chance to compete at the Broadcom Masters International competition, sponsored by Society for Science and the Public, and at the senior level the winner and potentially the runner up, depending on funding available, will compete against 1,700 students at the International Science and Engineering Fair in Phoenix in May. Typically the fair requires about 50 judges, Bill says, but “the more we can get the better.” At the elementary level, judges give awards based on the poster boards students submit about their project, and may also look at a research notebook. They are not focusing on neatness, but rather on both how the project was done—whether it follows scientific method, whether there were a sufficient number of subjects or trials— and making sure that the student, and not a parent, did the work. The seniors are interviewed by a number of judges, who make awards based both on the interview and the board. Allen grew up in Falls River, Massachusetts, where his mother taught public high school English, and his father spent most of his career running a lumberyard that also sold building materials. Today, he uses wood whenever he needs to build a prototype for his customers. “Rather than making a chassis out of expensive metals, I make it out of wood. Once we are convinced that it works, we go to building something more perma-

nent. … Wood is cheap, strong, and easy to work with,” he says. Also during his youth, Allen spent a summer in a machine shop that also repaired radios and televisions and got hooked on electronics. “Only one part of the job was insufferable,” he says. “Once we fixed a TV, I had to make sure it worked and run it for an hour, and during the afternoons, the only thing on was soap operas.” Allen earned a bachelor of arts at Colby College, and a master’s at Southeastern Massachusetts University (now the Dartmouth Division of the University of Massachusetts). Then, strongly interested in the environmental movement, he chose Washington University in St. Louis for his doctoral work in physics. “If you want to study art, go to Paris; if you want to study music, go to Vienna; if you want to study air pollution, go to St. Louis,” he says. He even got to do some work there with Barry Commoner, a founder of the modern environmental movement. For his doctoral thesis, Allen developed an instrument to measure optically the size and shape of airborne submicron-size particles that contribute to air pollution. A serious photographer, Allen did quite a bit of aerial photography while at University of Massachusetts and Washington University “to try to get the poop on polluters.” In Massachusetts he photographed a junkyard on the shores of a stream, where he and other members of an environmental club were concerned about waste oil leaking into the stream. In St. Louis a national lead company was pouring pollution into the air, and he and others set up a monitoring station on the ground downwind of the plant and chemically analyzed the air. They then flew over the site and took photos to prove that the plume of emissions was going in the direction of the monitoring site. They submitted their results to the environmental commission and, Allen says, “I believe they got busted.” His first job after graduate school was at AeroChem Research Labs in Princeton, no longer in business, working on an instrument to analyze each particle of air pollution chemically by mass spectrometry. Although there was lots of interest in environmental research and renewable energy in the late 1970’s and into the 1980s, Allen says, President Ronald Reagan quickly “pulled the plug on virtually all environmental research.” So Allen had to change the focus of his work. At Chronar in Trenton, he did R&D on process development, which involved radio frequency work; he left when the firm folded around 1990, then worked for three years at RF Power Products in Voorhees, and finally as a consultant. Allen has been volunteering at the Sarnoff Museum at the College of New Jersey for five years. Comparing science education today to 50 years ago, McQuarrie says, “It’s definitely more hands on and more global in trying to see the connection to systems within our environment, rather than discrete topics you may never touch upon again.”

VAPING continued from Page 1 The national numbers are reflective of the Hopewell Valley teen community. In the fall, students at the high school and Timberlane Middle School took Pride Surveys’ school climate survey. The survey was opt-in, and required parental approval. One 7th grader out of 144 responding reported having used an e-cigarette in the past 30 days, and among ninth graders, just 5.5 percent had vaped in the past month. However, of the 100 11th graders who responded, 21 percent reported having used e-cigarettes in the past 30 days, on par with the national average. Most adults report using e-cigarettes as a means to quit smoking tobacco cigarettes. Whether e-cigarettes have legitimate therapeutic uses is hotly debated in the public health community, but what is not debatable is this: teens are not using e-cigarettes to quit smoking. In Hopewell, even 11th grad-

ers have hardly ever touched one. It’s all about the nicotine buzz that e-cigarettes deliver, same as tobacco products. “Because of the widespread use of e-cigarettes amongst adolescents and teens, it is necessary to give our parents the most up-to-date information on this growing trend,” says Heidi Kahme, coordinator of the Hopewell Valley Municipal Alliance. “Our hope is to prevent nicotine addiction and substance abuse amongst our youth.” *** Not that long ago, public health professionals coast to coast thought they had Big Tobacco on the run. Cigarette manufacturers have long been criticized for targeting youth with their marketing, the idea being that if they could hook ’em young, they would have lifelong customers in their hands. But decades of anti-smoking campaigns and crackdowns on stores selling goods to underaged smokers had gradually paid off.. The CDC reports that just 8 percent

of high school students were tobacco cigarette smokers in 2018, down from nearly 16 percent in 2011. According to the Pride Surveys, the percentage at CHS is a mere 0.9 percent, although it’s worth noting that the results are based on a response rate of 45 percent for 9th grade and 35 percent for 11th. “(Tobacco companies) know most millennials have never smoked cigarettes and never will,” says Devangi Patel, a health educator who had a table about e-cigarettes at Central High School’s Teen Wellness Day in early February. “They’re using the same marketing techniques they were using with cigarettes: targeting women and youth with e-cigarettes, using social media platforms, using social media influencers. They realize millennials don’t like being marketed to directly, so it’s being done subversively.” Patel also had a vaping information table at Teen Wellness Day in 2018. But she says that in the space of a year, the concerns teens have about e-cigarettes have shifted. “Last year it was more about how it’s not safe for you, how it’s not just water vapor (that you are inhaling),” Patel said. “Now it’s about nicotine addiction. Kids are realizing this is not good for them. And also realizing that these companies are targeting them. That was surprising to them. That’s making them realize that they need to be smarter, that they need to know better.” Kevin Schroth spent eight years working as head of policy for New York City’s Bureau of Tobacco Control. The Trenton native and Lawrenceville School grad is now an associate professor at Rutgers University’s School of Public Health, where he works to address the threats posed by the diversifying market of tobacco and nicotine products, including electronic cigarettes. Schroth says the tobacco-nicotine landscape has evolved before, but never like this. “This is the most significant change we’ve had, perhaps since the advent of the cigarette, in terms of the role of a mass-market nicotine product,” he says. He acknowledges that some people see e-cigarettes as a potentially beneficial product for helping addicted smokers to quit. “But the other way of looking at it is that they are a product that is drawing astounding numbers of teenagers into the world of nicotine addiction,” he says. “Also, when we look at the numbers, it’s very clear that many of the teenagers who are getting addicted to e-cigarettes are kids who would not have picked up smoking.” One way that tobacco smokers say they use e-cigarettes to quit traditional cigarettes is to gradually lessen the amount of nicotine delivered by their e-cigarettes. Schroth is taking a wait-

and-see approach on the potential benefits, noting that while it may work, it is not a scientifically proven cessation strategy. “There’s new evidence that suggests electronic cigarettes might be reasonably effective in helping people to quit, but it’s emerging evidence. We have to wait and see to get a clearer picture of that,” he says. Schroth advises people who want to get trustworthy information about vaping to turn to the CDC website, rather than relying on other sources like bloggers and social media. “There is a lot of good research out there, but there’s a lot of research that’s very questionable as well,” he says. “I feel like the CDC is always a very reliable source of information. Some people might assume, without looking at their website, that it’s going to be a biased, prohealth source that only counsels against using e-cigarettes. But if you look at their website, you’ll find that they try to provide a fair and balanced picture.” He says it is clear that youth underestimate the chance of addiction. “Teenagers will be teenagers, and one of the characteristics of that is a sense of invulnerability and a lack of ability to foresee long-term consequences,” he says. “Now there’s a new product out there that has probably the same or comparable risk of being addictive (as cigarettes), but it appears in a package that does seem to be less harmful, which is exacerbating the issue.” Also exacerbating the issue is that product selections continue to multiply. While tobacco cigarette smokers tended toward brand loyalty in their smoking choices, e-cigarette users are invited to experiment thanks to the industry’s proliferation of devices and flavors, each promising a different or better experience for the user. “We’ve been hoping the FDA would exert a little more authority in trying to freeze or control the market, and that hasn’t happened yet,” Schroth says. Juul is a newer brand of e-cigarette that has made major inroads in the vape market. Schroth describes it as the iPhone of electronic cigarettes for the effect it has had in growing the market. “Juul and similar products have become more efficient at delivering nicotine to the brain quickly, like tobacco cigarettes do,” he says. “Juul does everything a little better. It was the lightning in the bottle that caused what was already popular to go through the roof in terms of sales, particularly for high school students and young adults.” At the forum on March 28, Schroth and the panelists will talk about the science, facts and clear risks associated with e-cigarettes. The event is open to the public and registration is not required. Schroth will also speak to 9th and 10th graders at CHS on March 29.

“Juul does everything a little better,” Schroth says. “It was the lightning in the bottle that caused what was already popular to go through the roof, particularly for young adults.”

sports HoVal wrestling caps stellar season with county, district trophies By Rich Fisher After suffering a near miss at the state sectional team tournament, the Hopewell Valley Central High wrestling team scored a direct hit at the District 19 tournament. On Feb. 8, HoVal came the closest it has ever come to a sectional championship when it dropped a 32-30 decision to Ocean Township in the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group III final. While that was pure heartbreak, what happened at Delaware Valley High School nine days later was sheer exhilaration, as HVCHS won the first district championship in school history. Couple that with a ninth straight Mercer County Tournament title and a school record-tying 21 wins, and you have one of the most balanced teams in program history. Hopewell’s 11th MCT title in 12 years broke Peddie’s record for most all-time county championships, and all 14 wrestlers placed for the first time ever. “We’ve had some amazing teams, and this is just another to carry on the tradition,” coach Mario Harpel said. “It’s always a different team every year, and really that’s the fun part of coaching. It never gets boring for me. We try to pre-

All 38 in the room are really dedicated and work hard.” Harpel has had plenty of dedicated

teams, but none ever claimed a district title. That all changed on Feb. 16 when Hopewell’s 205.5 points outdistanced Delaware Valley by 17 points. It was Mercer’s first district crown since Robbinsville’s successful run earlier in the

decade. The Bulldogs advanced 10 to the Region 5 Tournament in Franklin on Feb. 22-23, with three district champs, two other finalists and five third-place finishers. “This means a lot to the program, obviously, and it means so much to the team,” senior 126-pounder Chris Lanciano said. “We worked tirelessly for it, and we knew it was gonna be between us and DelVal for the title. They beat us early in the season (34-27 on Dec. 18) and, quite frankly, it was an embarrassing loss. That night after the match all the guys vowed we could beat them for the district title, and it gave us something extra to work for.” And while Mercer County teams may sometimes be an afterthought to other teams when it comes to competing for a district crown, Hopewell usually goes into the fray optimistic. “We always believe we can be champions,” Harpel said. “We train every day at that level to give ourselves a chance. Winning districts means a lot to Hopewell Valley wrestling and our entire program, from the 38 kids in the room, to alumni to the middle school and youth.” What made the run so impressive is that Hopewell had eight new wrestlers

in the varsity lineup. “It was cool to see that group grow up and come together. It’s one of the better experiences I’ve had as a coach,” Harpel said. Lanciano had faith in the new guys, if only because they have been groomed to succeed over the years. “Our guys are constantly pushing every single guy in the group,” said Lanciano, who won his 100th match this year, as did teammate Justin Venezia. “In Hopewell’s wrestling room a guy who’s a three or four year JV guy is as important as a guy who started varsity for three years and he’s now a senior captain. In the room everyone treats everyone equally and we push each other as hard as we can.” He had a sense it would all pay off this year. “I just saw something in the guys that when we started working at the beginning of the season it was different,” Lanciano said. “A different feel to the team. An intensity and a real drive within the team from a very early point. I knew this year we were gonna do great things.” Hopewell’s district champs (with weight class and season records prior to regionals in parenthesis) were sophomore Jacob Venezia (113, 36-2) and seniors Aaron Longo (138, 28-9) and Justin Venezia (145, 35-6). Runners-up included Lanciano (126, 29-3) and sophomore Brian LaCross (195, 30-10), while third-place finishers featured junior Christian Micikas (106, 29-10), sophomore Josh Beigman (170, 25-16), senior Brandon Bowman (182, 27-13), junior Christian Cacciabaudo (220, 24-16) and

junior John Snyder (285, 23-12). The Venezia brothers both won MCT crowns along with Micikas, while Bowman and Lanciano took second at counties. About the only bummer up to the regionals was the loss to Ocean, as a Spartan pin in the last second turned the tide of the match and made the difference. Harpel said he had mixed feelings about the outcome, taking pride in how close the Bulldogs came, but suffering the sting of disappointment. “I was really proud of the group and how far they advanced to get to that point,” he said. “We came a long way from day one to that point, and I have only good feelings with how we competed and how we got through Rahway in the semis and how we represented ourselves. But it is heartbreaking when you lose that close. You can always go back through the match and find ways to win in your head. So you have to be careful about that. I generally stay aware of the positive piece of it.” Lanciano feels it’s only a matter of time before the Bulldogs add a sectional crown to their trophy case. “We were obviously really proud and real excited we got to that stage and how we wrestled all season, but coming two points shy, it’s really tough,” he said. “In the match itself, we had guys wrestling insane matches that really brought us back in it. We were close. Obviously I’m not gonna have another shot to get a state title for the team but in the future, I think our guys will definitely get one in the bag.”

NATURE in the Valley

Nesting boxes could help threatened kestrels rebound By Lisa Wolff The population of North America’s smallest falcon, the American kestrel, is declining in the Northeast, with the bird added to New Jersey’s list of threatened species in 2012. The drop is linked to ever-expanding development throughout the state. “Loss of grasslands due to development and a lack of suitable nest cavities are widely agreed to be among the reasons for their declining numbers,” explains FoHVOS land steward and licensed bird bander Tyler Christensen, “Humans have been responsible for major changes to the landscape in New Jersey, and this has resulted in hardship for many of our state’s native plant and animal species. In order to reduce our environmental footprint, the onus is on us to protect these species that we have affected. To do this, we must at times intervene and provide them with what we’ve historically damaged or taken away.” Fortunately, FoHVOS Community Conservation has enlisted help from an amazing cross section of volunteers to bring kestrels back to Hopewell Valley. The New Jersey Fish and Wildlife Endangered and Nongame Species program provided a Conserve Wildlife Matching Grant to cover materials for 50 kestrel nesting boxes. The boxes are needed since kestrels do not construct their own nests; historically, they have nested in tree cavities created by other birds like woodpeckers or by decomposition. Today, kestrels most often nest in buildings and in artificial nest boxes. Volunteers will build kestrel nesting boxes during the first three weekends in March. Families at Painted Oak Nature School, the Cambridge School and Cub Scout troop 1776 have already committed to help. “When we announced that we were hosting a gathering to build kestrel boxes at the school, registration filled up almost immediately,” said Courtney Peters-Manning, Cambridge School director. “It’s a great family activity and children naturally feel good about providing a home for the kestrels.” Helen Corveleyn, STEM facilitator at Hopewell Elementary School, will build kestrel boxes with her Green Team, “Interactive, conservation projects like this are not only educational but also are really engaging for our students,” she said. Once the boxes are built, volunteers

A team from Bloomberg plans to come out the last week of March to begin installation. Bloomberg staff have helped FoHVOS with land restorations for years, but this is the first time they have worked on a bird conservation project. Volunteers are still needed for all phases of the program including folks to regularly check the boxes. In the past, a monitor needed to climb a ladder to see inside the nest. Now we just look using a camera on stick. Think of it as bird selfies. Finally, we need private property owners who are willing to host kestrel nest boxes. Kestrels generally require large open fields (at least one acre, but the bigger the better) with minimal human activity during the nesting season (April – July). FoHVOS’s existing kestrel conservation program includes a handful of boxes that we maintain and monitor. This project is a major expansion and it’s been pretty remarkable to see all these different groups step up to join a FoHVOS Community Conservation initiative. Township committee members plan to come out and build bird boxes with the public. “Hopewell Valley has shown that we can accomplish great things when we all work together and we are thrilled to do our part and hope this project results in increases for the kestrel population,” said Kristin McLaughlin, mayor of Hopewell Township. Lisa Wolff is the executive director of Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space. She can be reached by email at lwolff@ fohvos.org.

SCHORE TO PLEASE

Divesting: Just throw it out! By Robin Schore Recently I found a turntable in my attic. It was new in 1984, but hadn’t been used since 1988, when my amplifier began producing a penetrating buzz like that accompanying those radio disaster warnings: “This is a test of the emergency broadcast system!” The amp and speakers were long ago consigned to electronics recycling. I sold the turntable online in this strange new era where audiophiles prefer vinyl to digital. Once the turntable was gone, I began to wonder why I was keeping my vinyl LPs, which hadn’t been played in three decades. I catalogued them and discovered that I had 160 albums including vintage Beatles, Stones, Dylan, and The Doors; also The Ronettes, The Marvelettes, and Smokey Robinson. I also had obscure stuff like The Zombies and The Human Beinz, cool but never listened to. I took the lot to the Princeton joint that buys old records and unloaded 110 items. I can’t retire on the proceeds, but now I have a bookshelf that neither gathers cobwebs nor exudes an aroma of mildew. When I told an old friend (so old he’s an ancient Egyptian) about this mass divestment, he suggested that I must be preparing to move on to the next world, that being the only explanation for getting rid of my worldly possessions. True to his identity, he had made arrangements for an appropriate interment by acquiring a modest pyramid where he expected to be ensconced along with all his worldly possessions, including his cat and dog, both of which he’d already had mummified. Having begun the divestment process, I began looking around to see what other detritus was occupying space unnecessarily. Beginning in the subterranean portion of my house, I discovered five quarter-filled cans of dried out linen-white paint. Out they went along with a fish tank that years ago housed two robust eight-year-old goldfish until a friend volunteered to babysit (fish sit?) them for a week, put the tank in a sunny summer window and boiled the fish. On the main floor, I addressed presumable valuables. My stamp collection, begun at age six, had lost value rather than appreciated. I had been saving mint sheets of U.S. postage guaranteed to make my fortune. Then, I found out that my accountant was buying up sheets just like mine at estate sales at below face

value and using the stamps to mail out tax returns. I had better luck selling old postcards at old postcard conventions. Was there a market for my old Mad Magazines or R. Crumb Comix? And why was I saving my Boy Scout merit badge sash and my eagle scout medal (solid silver) when there were so few occasions to wear either? In the attic was a store of camping gear. I used to bike in the wilderness and sleep on a tarp in a sleeping bag. Now I bike on roads from one gourmet coffee shop to another and sleep in luxury rentals. I don’t really need a tarp or a dented aluminum mess kit. Also in the attic was every letter that I ever received beginning in junior high school. Would anyone, much less me, want to plow through puerile writings from the fifties, sophomoric scribbles from the sixties, or pretentious reflections from the seventies (and then came email)? Do the letters have more utility for the memoir that I will never write or for the potential fireplace blaze that I just might light? At least, I was storing nothing big, nothing that required a power saw to dismember. When my father-in-law moved to senior housing, he left in his basement an upright piano that had been neither tuned nor played in over 50 years. No one could figure out how it even got down the narrow staircase, and there was no way to get it up. In came workmen with a power saw. No child would ever be forced to take hated lessons on that keyboard relic. Similarly, we had a neighbor with a 30-foot boat that sat in his front yard for years waiting to be rendered shipshape. Alas, the owner went off to that great ocean in the sky before so much as repairing a single scupper. Shortly thereafter, muscled laborers attacked the S.S. White Elephant with a chainsaw, reducing the hull to scraps of lumber before winching the engine onto a flatbed truck. One acquaintance likened the refuse we leave behind to the stereotypical caution given to young girls: always wear clean underwear in case you get into an accident. It’s never too soon to concede that your stuff is never going to be worth anything. Your descendants will be more burdened than beguiled by your leavings. Might as well sell it or throw it out. Or build a pyramid. Robin Schore lives in Titusville.

Was there a market for my old Mad Magazines? And why was I saving my Boy Scout merit badge sash and my Eagle Scout medal when there were so few occasions to wear either?

Important Information About Lead in Your Drinking Water Trenton Water Works (TWW) found elevated levels of lead in drinking water in some homes/buildings. Lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and children 6 years and younger. Please read this notice closely to see what you can do to reduce lead in your drinking water.

Health Effects of Lead Lead can cause serious health problems if too much enters your body from drinking water or other sources. It can cause damage to the brain and kidneys and can interfere with the production of red blood cells that carry oxygen to all parts of your body. The greatest risk of lead exposure is to infants, young children, and pregnant women. Scientists have linked the effects of lead on the brain with lowered IQ in children. Adults with kidney problems and high blood pressure can be affected by low levels of lead more than healthy adults. Lead is stored in the bones and it can be released later in life. During pregnancy, the child receives lead from the mother’s bones, which may affect brain development.

Sources of Lead in Drinking Water Lead is a common metal found in the environment. Drinking water is one possible source of lead exposure. EPA estimates that 10 to 20% of a person’s potential exposure to lead may come from drinking water. Infants who consume mostly formula mixed with lead-containing water can receive 40 to 60% of their exposure to lead from drinking water. In Trenton, lead was commonly used in water service lines until 1960 and for indoor plumbing solder until 1986 when it was banned. Brass faucets, fittings, and valves, including those advertised as “lead-free,” may also contribute to lead in drinking water. The law up until 2014 allowed brass fixtures, such as faucets, with up to 8% lead to be labeled as “lead free.” Current standards for “lead free” fixtures allow for no more than 0.25% of lead content. The Delaware River is the water supply source for TWW’s Filtration Plant. When treated water leaves TWW’s Filtration Plant, it is lead free. The water mains in the street that transport water from the Filtration Plant are made mostly of iron and steel and do not add any lead to the drinking water. In TWW’s service area, galvanized steel pipe lined with lead was commonly used until 1960 for water service lines which transport the water from the street to homes and buildings. When water is in contact with these pipes, lead solder or plumbing fixtures that contain lead for several hours, the lead may enter the drinking water. Homes built before 1986 are more likely to have lead pipes or lead solder than newer homes. The lead from a home’s individual service line or plumbing a ffects only the tap water inside that home since water travels only one way in home plumbing. 30Hopewell Express | March 2019

STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO REDUCE YOUR EXPOSURE TO LEAD IN YOUR WATER 1. Run your water to flush out lead. Run water for 1 to 3 minutes to flush lead from interior plumbing or until it becomes cold or reaches a steady temperature before using it for drinking or cooking, if it hasn’t been used for several hours. Also, regularly remove and clean your aerators. 2. Use cold water for cooking and preparing baby formula. Do not cook with or drink water from the hot water tap; lead dissolves more easily into hot water. Do not use water from the hot water tap to make baby formula. 3. Do not boil water to remove lead. Boiling water will not reduce lead. 4. Look for alternative sources or treatment of water. You may want to consider purchasing bottled water or a water filter. Read the package to be sure the filter is approved to reduce lead or contact NSF International at 800-NSF-8010 or nsf.org for information on performance standards for water filters. Be sure to maintain and replace a filter device in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions to protect water quality. 5. Test your water for lead. Please contact the Trenton Water Works at 609-989-3055 or by email at twwleadprogram@trentonnj.org to find out how to get your water tested for lead at a local laboratory. 6. Get your child’s blood tested. Contact your local health department or healthcare provider to find out how you can get your child tested for lead if you are concerned about exposure. 7. Identify and replace your water service line, plumbing with lead solder or plumbing fixtures containing lead. > Find out how to check your water service line material at twwleadprogram.com/check-your-line > Purchase EPA-approved lead check swabs to determine if you have lead solder or brass fittings with high lead content. For more information, visit twwleadprogram.com > Visit www.nsf.org to learn more about lead-containing plumbing fixtures

What Happened? What is Being Done? During the monitoring period of July 2018 to December 2018, TWW conducted routine water sample testing for lead. Lead levels at customers’ taps in the distribution system exceeded the Lead Action Level of 15 parts per billion (ppb) for the 90th percentile based on samples of water in homes with lead service lines and/or copper piping with lead solder. Water from 11 out of 105 homes sampled contained lead above the action level. All of these homes have known sources of lead.

TWW continues its efforts to upgrade the water treatment process and water distribution system to meet the State and Federal drinking water regulations and to make the drinking water less corrosive. TWW is taking immediate and long-term measures to minimize lead levels throughout the service area which includes Trenton, and parts of Hamilton, Ewing, Hopewell and Lawrence. Specifically, TWW is currently: > Replacing lead service lines from the water main to the curb for those who have previously replaced the homeowner’s side to copper. > Undertaking a Lead Service Line Replacement Program to prioritize the replacement of approximately 2,600 lead services by mid-2020 including the portion of the service line from the curb to meter, owned by the homeowner. The remaining lead services will be replaced in later phases of the program. Visit www.twwleadprogram.com to learn more about this program. > Expediting the construction of a temporary corrosion control treatment (CCT) system which will add zinc orthophosphate to the water system. The addition of zinc orthophosphate will help minimize the process of lead leaching into the water from the service pipes and lead solder. The temporary CCT system will treat water that reaches the majority of TWW customers in the short term until a long term plan for corrosion control treatment for 100% of the water system is implemented. > Regularly flushing and cleaning the water distribution system. > Holding public meetings throughout the service area to answer TWW customer questions.

Trenton Water Works is committed to providing safe and clean drinking water to its customers For more information, contact Trenton Water Works: phone: 609-989-3055
