Temple Micah at 50

Mixed month for TWW Lead issues persist, but utility officials say things are improving

By MicheLe ALPeRiN Temple Micah has met for religious services at the Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville since its founding 50 years ago. The synagogue, still going strong, has 50 to 60 worshippers Friday nights, 200 on the High Holidays, and over 90 students in its religious school. The community prides itself on its inclusive community, lack of affiliation with any Jewish movement, shared building, and low cost—values that were there from the beginning. To celebrate its 50th anniversary, the congregation will join with fellow congregants and the wider community on March 23, 7:30 p.m., for a Havdalah service and a reception, with music, dancing, eating, and more. Lawrence resident and current president Ivy Cohen grew up in a largely Jewish community, but in Lawrenceville, which had fewer Jews, she and her husband wanted to make available to their kids “the Jewish traditions and values” that they had grown up with. And Temple Micah has been right for them. “It feels like it has a great sense of community,” Cohen said. “It’s connecting to your religion and your background in a way that’s comfortable and meaningful.” Hopewell resident Judy Livingston, a former board memSee TEMPLE, Page 12

After Jack Ball (center) retired as manager of the Trenton Farmers Market, Chris Cirkus (far right) took the reins. Picture are Trenton Farmers Market board treasurer Jim VanHandel of Cedar ville Farms, vice president Kevin Gsell of Russo’s Fruit and Vegetable Farm, Ball, president Gar y Mount of Terhune Orchards and Cirkus.

Changing of the guard at farmers market New manager takes over after long-time market runners retire By scOTT MORGAN That Chris Cirkus took the helm at the Trenton Farmers Market shouldn’t be too surprising. She’s made a full-time career out of managing multiple part-time farmers markets in the area. So when it came

time to find a successor to Jack Ball—the manager of the Trenton Farmers Market for 39 years—Cirkus jumped at the chance...to find one. About a year ago, Ball fell ill. He’s feeling a lot better, but at the time, the 74-year-old felt it would be best to step down. So Gary Mount, owner of Terhune Orchards and a member of the Trenton Farmers Market board, called Cirkus and Beth Feehan to help find a successor.

Cirkus managed the West Windsor Farmers Market (and still does) and Feehan used to. The pair also co-managed the 31 & Main Farmers Market at the College of New Jersey. So the Trenton Farmers Market board brought them in as consultants, thanks in part to their steep connections in the farmers market game. “We found a few candidates and they hired someone,” See MARKET, Page 8

The results are in, and they’re not what Trenton Water Works customers had hoped. For the third time in the last four testing periods, TWW has violated the federal action level for lead. More than 11 percent of samples taken by TWW in the second half of 2018 had elevated lead levels. The highest sample, from a home on West Paul Avenue in Trenton, was 1,430 parts per billion—nearly 100 times the federal limit. TWW officials, for their part, say they continue to take steps needed to correct the problem. TWW assistant director Kristin Epstein said TWW has fast-tracked the installation of a system intended to prevent lead in corroding pipes and fixtures from leaching into water. Epstein said she expects the system to be online for 80 percent of TWW’s service area, including the entire suburban portion, this spring. To prove they’re working in good faith, TWW officials pointed to data released by the City of Trenton last month that shows the amount of potentially dangerous disinfectant byproducts in the water has decreased significantly since the summer See WATER, Page 19

AROUND TOWN Women’s suffrage talk set for March 6 Journalist and former New York Times editor Angela P. Dodson will give a talk on her new book about women’s suffrage March 6 at the Lawrence Library starting at 7 p.m. Remember the Ladies: Celebrating Those Who Fought for Freedom at the Ballot Box covers the long struggle that led to the 1920 ratification of the 19th Amendment granting United States women suffrage. This year leads up to the centennial in 2020. Dodson’s narrative spans the country’s history from before Abigail Adams urged her husband, John Adam, to “Remember the ladies” as the Founding Fathers declared independence. The book aims to provide historical context for today’s conversations about women’s issues and their role in the electoral process. The Lawrence Library is located at 2751 Brunswick Pike in Lawrence.

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. 6Lawrence Gazette | 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

MARKET continued from Page 1 Cirkus said. “But the woman declined the position just before she was supposed to start.” Around the beginning of autumn, Cirkus ran into Mount and asked how the new manager was working out. When she learned that there was no new manager and still a position to fill, Cirkus figured she might as well go for it. She officially took over at the end of January, with the business operating nicely in the black and a whole lot of history to contend with—which she’s actually pretty fascinated by. “I’m just learning the historical knowledge,” she said. “It’s unbelievable.” What started as a gathering of growers at the Delaware River about a century ago found a permanent home on Spruce Street in 1948. That’s 71 years, if you’re counting, which Cirkus clearly is, given how upset she said she is that she wasn’t in charge for the market’s The Trenton Farmers Market as it appeared on opening day in 1948. 70th birthday last year.

ers have access to a commercial kitchen without having to buy a whole new one on their own, and to expand places for vendors of, say, vegetarian or vegan foods. She definitely wants to bring in the younger crowd, mainly the families who have made the Trenton/Ewing/ Lawrence area home while they trek to New York, Princeton, and Philadelphia for work. These younger, working families, she said, are the one who crave a more food-centric farmers market experience. They want to shop local, buy local, and hang out among artisanal and specialty foodmakers where the energy is good. She’s enthusiastic—“The visions in my head are endless”—but she’s also aware of the work all her visions will entail. “I have an uphill battle,” she said. Part of the battle includes maintaining the old-school charm of the market, which pretty much always ran on a profit. Cirkus is aware that newschool ideas are fine, but she doesn’t want to just throw the apple cart over just because she has it in front of her. She does plan to eventually build a display of some of the old photos and ledgers and trinkets—of which there are scores—that she’s found in the office. She also has no plans to get rid of the support staff who’s been helping to keep the market running, like Carol the secretary or the guy who plows the snow. She’s also not going to expel favored sellers who’ve also been at

Trenton for years. Creative Wrapping and Maryanne McCabe (a jewelrymaker) are fixtures at Trenton Farmers Market, Cirkus said. So rather than rewriting the whole book, Cirkus wants to have a balance of food and crafts and entertainment that would make the market vibrant and draw new crowds of younger people who can help sustain the market and its vendors for another seven decades. Cirkus said she went into the job trying to not scare any of the vendors or workers at the market. “Before I accepted the job, I went on a few stealth missions to see who everyone was,” she said. She found a pretty universally pleasant vibe among the vendors and a few favorites –like the applesauce made by a lady named Marlene. Cirkus was just as surprised as you that anyone would talk so glowingly about applesauce, but she swears she ate a whole jar of it in one sitting the first time she tasted it. So she’s got a lot to think about, but she also has a lot of time to think it all through. Accordingly, she plans to let a few things play out and not make any giant moves out of the gate. But her presence is already being felt in subtle ways. “I changed the radio station and already people are saying, ‘Wow, the music’s great.’” she said. This spring, she plans to have the building power-washed and then touch up some paint—“a little spit and polish” to make the place a little brighter and

cleaner, she said. She also plans to stay engaged with the market’s 6,000-strong, and apparently really loyal, Facebook family. She’s built a sturdy social media following for the West Windsor Farmers Market too, but says the two markets have very different followers. “In West Windsor, they’ll like a post and then go on with their day,” she said. Trenton, on the other hand, “is very vocal. People have a lot to say, they’ve shared all the articles and stuff about Jack. People were asking me who I was. It’s humbling.” But at least Facebook helped her clear up a few misconceptions, she said. The most panic-inducing was when word got out that Jack Ball was leaving the market, people got the impression the market was closing altogether. Fortunately for her, Cirkus was able to stem the rumors before they got out of hand, though many of her fans from West Windsor might wonder who’s in charge at their farmers market now. Well, for the moment, it’s still Chris Cirkus. She’s looking for a replacement who will carry on what the market is, but until she finds the right hands to leave it in, she’ll be pulling double duty there and in Trenton. And in case you’re wondering if she’s intimidated by the scale of all this, no. “I’m a Scorpio,” she said. “In my adulthood I’ve learned that I’m a true Scorpio—I’m pretty thick skinned, but I always listen before I leap. I owe it to the farmers, the merchants, and the community groups [to listen].”

TEMPLE continued from Page 1 ber, came to Temple Micah over 30 years ago because she had liked when her previous synagogue shared a building with a church—this meant it hadn’t had to focus on paying a mortgage and increasing membership and also because of her commitment to interfaith dialogue. “I think what I like best about the congregation is that it’s just hamish [Yiddish for homelike and unpretentious]; nobody is showing off at the service,” Livingston said. “It’s like we just came together to sing, to say prayers, and to be together.” Livingston realized at the interfaith service after the Pittsburgh attack at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, just how much Temple Micah meant to her. “It felt like the best way to respond to the hatred in Pittsburgh was to be together with a congregation that was not Jewish and a congregation that was Jewish and all of us standing up together and saying, ‘You’re wrong, we can get along, we are stronger together.’” she said. Jeff Vamos, pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville for 15 years, felt similarly that “it was a really important thing in my congregation and for Temple Micah that we were present with them.” Bordentown resident Larry Leder, president from 2013 to 2016 and a board member for 15 years, was, like many Temple Micah members, part of an interfaith marriage and has “found a spiritual home” at Temple Micah. Princeton resident Adrienne Rubin, cantorial soloist at Temple Micah for

Temple Micah’s cantorial soloist Adrienne Rubin, her son Elian Rubin, and former Rabbi Vicki Tuckman at Elian’s bar mitzvah ser vice. 21 years, cites Hamilton resident Faith Wight as emblematic of those who have kept Temple Micah running. The willingness of volunteers to step forth at Temple Micah is one critical element in keeping costs low and creating a sense of community, Rubin says. Wight “ran all of the onegs [desserts after services] for years—an example of the kind of volunteer that has made Temple Micah what it is, always doing what is needed. She taught in the religious school [for 19 years]; she always stepped up.” Wight was also on the board for 25 years,

where she served as vice president. Bob Pollack, former president of Temple Micah, calls her “the rock of Temple Micah.” “Temple Micah has so many people like that who give of themselves because they love this community,” Rubin says. Wight writes in an email, “My entire family benefited from Temple Micah,” she said. “My children had their baby namings, Bat Mitzvahs, I was Bat Mitzvahed at 41 and my husband Charlie converted 8 years ago.” The synagogue got its start in 1969,

when Paula Sass-Connelly (then Gottlieb, and her husband Stuart) gathered with a small group of Lawrenceville residents at her home, with the goal of creating a synagogue. “We didn’t have a temple near us, and we wanted something to call our own,” she said. “We also wanted a wonderfully open place where everyone would feel comfortable, no matter how they thought about religion personally—that they would have a home there.” Sass-Connelly, who moved in 1979 to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she worked for the state board of education, recalls “the incredible excitement in creating this little community.” Sass-Connelly knew Reverend Dana Fearon of the Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville through Lawrenceville Elementary School, where she taught first to third grades, and she thought the church would be a great place to meet. “I don’t know what made me think of Reverend Fearon, except that I loved the church,” she said. “I thought it was beautiful, peaceful, and calm inside. There were not a lot of Christian symbols; and I remember thinking, what a wonderful idea if we could meet here.” Sharing a building also made sense for another reason. “We didn’t want all sorts of restrictions and didn’t want to charge huge amounts of money for membership—all of the things that with buildings you must get involved with,” Sass-Donnelly says. So she talked to Fearon, and he talked to his trustees. A letter dated Sept. 9, 1969 approved Temple Micah use of the

church’s sanctuary for its High Holiday services and other services for a year, after which they would “review the relationship.” Temple Micah’s 50-year relationship with the Presbyterian Church was key to its survival, Pollack said. Committed to keeping costs down, the initial membership dues were $150 for a family and $75 for a young couple under 30, and, Pollack says, for the first several years they struggled to meet expenses. To help out, the synagogue’s treasurer, Jerry Weisbrodt, who was a vice president at the Educational Testing Service, arranged for synagogue members to grade SAT essays and donate what they earned to Temple Micah. By the late 1970s, Pollack says, contributions had increased, and they had some money in the bank. Temple Micah hired its first rabbi, Albert Ginsburgh, a year after its founding. Describing Ginsburgh as “the perfect grandfather, the sweetest man in the world,” Pollack also emphasized his willingness to perform intermarriages, despite his traditional European rabbinical training. Ginsburgh also had a good sense of humor and a casual approach. At one brutally hot High Holiday service, back when every man wore a suit and tie, Pollack recalls Ginsburgh taking off his jacket and loosening his tie and saying, “Now everybody, this is what God wants you to do—to be comfortable.” But when his wife, Fruma received an offer in the mid-1980s to become head of the gynecology group at the Harvard Clinic in Boston, Ginsburgh followed, although he commuted to Temple Micah for the High Holidays and monthly Sabbath services for five or six years. Rabbi Ellen Greenspan, now rabbi educator at Emanual Beth Shalom, the only Reform synagogue in Quebec province, joined Temple Micah in 1991, when she was in her early 30s. Greenspan never expected to remain for long with a congregation that only held regular services monthly, but she came to appreciate the role played by this unique congregation and stayed for 20 years. “They are a synagogue for people who, for whatever reason, can’t find a community elsewhere that fits for them,” she said. “For the most part, for people who belong, if Temple Micah didn’t exist, they wouldn’t belong anywhere.” “I don’t think it ever occurred to them that having a young woman as rabbi would attract young families,” she says, but it did. In fact, upon her arrival, the religious school was tiny—eight kids taught by a Princeton University student. Then “all of a sudden there were 40ish kids.” That meant she had to supervise religious school, and also lead increasing numbers of bar and bat mitzvahs by the time she left Temple Micah. During Greenspan’s long tenure,

Temple Micah switched to more gendersensitive, contemporary prayer books, lengthened the Yom Kippur services to last the entire day and instituted a family service that day, hired Adrienne Rubin as their cantorial soloist, and bought a used Torah scroll. Plainsboro’s Ray Wolkind, who eventually became vice-president, spoke to Greenspan’s role in improving the religious school. She “was pretty instrumental in getting us to recognize we needed to do the school and do it right,” he said. For Rubin, Temple Micah is “a very unique community.” Not only is it welcoming to interfaith and interracial individuals, but it draws from all the liberal Jewish denominations. “You can observe at the level you want without fear of judgment,” she said. “I think when Temple Micah was established, that was something very new—we don’t subscribe to a specific theology.” “We’ve made a deliberate decision not to affiliate with a movement, so Jews who feel unaffiliated or alienated for every reason feel they have a home here,” Rubin said. “I think it is very important for people to feel comfortable asking questions—that we’ll meet them wherever they are.” Looking back over the past six years, with three different rabbis, Rubin says, “Every rabbi brings a unique set of skills, interests, and excitement to a synagogue community. We have had the sadness of losing Vicki, but we also have the advantage of having different perspectives.” Rabbi Vicki Tuckman, who died in 2015, became Temple Micah’s third rabbi on April 1, 2012. Despite spending less than three years with the congregation, Tuckman brought much growth. “They called it the ‘Vicki effect,’ Cohen says. “When Vicki came, people gravitated toward her and wanted to be part of things she was part of.” So when her illness relapsed, Cohen says, “it was a horrible, tragic time for us as a congregation. Someone with such a magnetic personality and that role in the community—you have a tremendous loss. It was devastating for the community.” Livingston emphasized the important role that Rubin, played during Tuckman’s illness and after her death. She wrote in an email: “When Rabbi Vicki was ill, the congregation really pulled together to pray for her and her family and to communicate our love and support to her and her family...Adrienne really kept us going, psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, not just with her beautiful voice singing ‘Mi Shebeirach’ [a healing prayer and song by Debbie Friedman] but also by being both our cantor and our rabbi when we didn’t have a rabbi. She became our spiritual leader in so many ways during a really difficult time.” See TEMPLE, Page 14

“I learned more about their values and their community, and it was the perfect fit for us,” Temple Micah president Ivy Cohen said. “It is low key and low pressure.”

Rabbi Ellen Greenspan with Cantor Nate Entin when he joined Temple Micah in 1994. TEMPLE continued from Page 13 Tuckman brought in new members, “a lot from other synagogues,” Wolkind says, and “we started having problems of how to seat everybody in the sanctuary. But, as Vicki said, ‘This should be your greatest problem, as compared to other synagogues who were having the reverse effect.’” Cohen, the current president, connected with Temple Micah via Tuckman, who she had known through Jewish camping. Having grown up in a traditional synagogue in Philadelphia, she joined a similar one in New Jersey, but, she says, “I was not happy, and it was very expensive.” She remembers thinking, “There has to be something else out there where my kids can learn about their heritage and religion, and it doesn’t break the bank.” Cohen was also happy to learn that Temple Micah’s religious school met on Tuesday afternoons rather than Sunday mornings, so it would not interfere with her children’s soccer playing. “I learned more about their values and their community, and it was the perfect fit for us,” Cohen said. “It is low key and low pressure.” About Cohen, Leder says, “I believe she has brought a very modern approach,” Leder said. “She is a modern businesswoman and as a result she looks at strategies, at the overall position of the Temple, younger. The leadership of the Temple for a long time were all people who had been there for many years and were in their 60s and 70s, and even though they were vigorous, that’s not same thing as having people in their 30s and 40s who assume leadership positions. We needed that infusion of energy, of vision, to ensure the existence and sustainability and growth of Temple Micah.” Temple Micah’s next rabbi, Roni Handler, stayed for two years, then last June Temple Micah hired Philadelphia Elisa Goldberg, who finds the congregation to be “in many ways...ahead of its time.” “It never wanted to be big, to be a full-service synagogue,” Goldberg said. “It is a great community, but not a fulltime community. It allows families to be engaged Jewishly in ways that they want

to: they want to educate their families and have a place to celebrate holidays and celebrate life-cycle events. They don’t necessarily want the synagogue to be the center of their lives, but one of the centers. “It’s affordable, accessible, and very welcoming of interfaith families, and it works well in today’s world. What Temple Micah is finding is a balance of meaningful Judaism that fits into their busy lives. People are there because they want to be there.” About Goldberg, Leder says: “The congregation loves her style, her sense of humor, and her outlook.” Also very important to both church and synagogue is the strong interfaith relationship that has grown between them with the sharing of a building. Vamos, who has been pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville for 15 years, calls the relationship between the church and Temple Micah “that of siblings.” “We don’t think of Temple Micah as tenants of this place, not even as guests, but as kind of partners in our quest to proclaim religious truth and help people in their journey of faith and in their creating meaning,” he said. Rubin says of Vamos: “We are friends and colleagues. When Vicki was sick, our friends at the church were there for us, especially Jeff. We are a great example of, ‘You don’t have to believe the same things to appreciate one another.’ The level of interfaith cooperation at Temple Micah is, I think, a model for the whole world.” The first seder shared by the two congregations was early in Greenspan’s tenure as rabbi. She developed a haggadah especially for the occasion. Joan Semenuk, who was the associate for pastoral ministry at the Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville for about 25 years and has lived in Yarmouth, Maine, for seven years, says, “It was a very happy occasion where we all learned something.” The church also shares with Temple Micah a community center, called the Community Well. “It is oriented toward wellness of mind, body, spirit, and what ultimately we want to encourage is service, which is part of both traditions,” Vamos says. In this vein the two congregations held a service day to observe Martin Luther King’s birthday. And on the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, Vamos allows Temple Micah to use the front yard of his manse to build its sukkah, a temporary hut where Jews eat, and sometimes sleep, during the holiday. Leder is particularly thankful to the Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville where, he says, “we’ve operated on a handshake agreement. They are very dear to us and we could not have survived in our present business model without their housing us and their support for us.” Sass-Connelly recalls “the incredible excitement in creating this little community.” “It was just a group of people that said, ‘Hey, we want something different,’ and there we went—we just made it happen,” she said. “That it has lived this long is beyond belief. Of course we had different opinions and different ideas. I think that what kept us together was that we were doing this new idea together. There was this unified focus that was just amazing.”

WATER continued from Page 1 and now is well below state limits. Half of the DEP violations TWW has received since September 2018 have been due to excessive disinfectant byproducts. The other half have been because of lead. But, for TWW’s 225,000 customers in Ewing, Hamilton, Hopewell Township, Lawrence and Trenton, the bureaucratic reality is that violations, notices and countermeasures often come too late. TWW, for example, will not directly inform customers until March that water from the system had elevated levels of lead four months earlier. And customers won’t know until August whether they’re consuming water now that the state considers at standard. This is not an issue with TWW, but merely how water quality reporting and enforcement works in the United States. In the case of lead, this kind of delay can cause problems because doctors, researchers and even government agencies agree that there is no safe level of lead for human consumption. Lead is a neurotoxin, and the human body cannot process it. Instead, it is absorbed by teeth, bones and body tissue. Lower levels of exposure, like those in water, cause no obvious symptoms but can affect children’s brain development and can cause anemia, hypertension, renal impairment and immunotoxicity. Pregnant women, in particular, need to be careful, as lead stored in their bodies can be released into their system during pregnancy, causing harm to the child. The effects of lead are believed to be irreversible. The federal Environmental Protection Agency has set a long-term goal of having

no lead in the water, but has given water systems leeway in the meantime by allowing them to distribute slightly impure water. It sets up discrepancies like the federal Centers for Disease Control recommending a lead limit of 5 parts per billion while the EPA—which is responsible for actually setting the guidelines— enforces a limit three times as high. The EPA, in a statement, said its lead action level of 15 ppb was set “based on EPA’s evaluation of the levels of lead that could be reliably attained through corrosion control treatment in water systems serving homes with lead service lines and plumbing materials.” Water becomes contaminated with lead primarily through contact with lead pipes or lead solder, either in the distribution system or inside a home. Even with the more lax standards, water utilities across New Jersey— from Newark to Hackensack to Trenton—have grappled with lead issues in recent years. Due to its most recent struggles, TWW now has five DEP violations already in 2019. It is the worst start to a year in TWW’s history. In the last 26 months, TWW has received 29 DEP violations. Ewing Township business administrator Jim McManimon, in a Feb. 20 interview, worried that the steady flow of official violation notices to residents have had the effect of either scaring people unnecessarily or making them so jaded that they just toss TWW correspondence aside. “The people here, they don’t know who to get angry at,” McManimon said. “They don’t know who to believe.”

TWW officials said they recognize the public’s desire for more communication, especially in non-bureaucratic language. Since Reed Gusciora took office as mayor of Trenton in July 2018, his administration has made an effort to improve communication and transparency, TWW spokesman Michael Walker said. Walker said the utility notifies the mayors and health officers of affected suburban towns, as well as the property managers of state office buildings, whenever a violation occurs. TWW also submits a monthly report to each of the suburban municipalities. Walker said TWW relies on suburban officials to help the utility get word out about what’s going on with the water system. “We are in constant contact with our stakeholders,” Walker said. Part of that communication is informing the public, through publications and public meetings, exactly what TWW is doing to improve. One of those solutions involves introducing orthophosphate to the water dur-

ing treatment. Orthophosphate forms scale, which can prevent lead in corroding pipes and fixtures from leaching into water. Epstein said she expects the system to be online for 80 percent of TWW’s service area, including the entire suburban portion, this spring. The remaining 20 percent—buildings in Trenton connected to the gravity portion of TWW’s system—requires additional engineering and should be completed in 2020. The Bordentown Water Department, which has lead woes of its own, started to add orthophosphate to its water this past fall. The amount of lead in the water dropped 35 percent after orthophosphate was introduced. But TWW officials cautioned orthophosphate does not get rid of lead, and merely masks the problem. For that reason, they do not want to rely on orthophosphate to be the solution. The solution, in their view, is to replace all the lead service lines in the system. Service lines connect a buildSee WATER, Page 20

WATER continued from Page 19 ing to a water main. TWW controls the part of the line from the main to the curb. From the curb to the home is the responsibility of the homeowner. The DEP has required TWW to replace 7 percent of the lead service lines in the system every year. The utility received a violation in July 2018 because it had failed to meet this obligation for the last year. At a rate of 7 percent per year, it would take TWW 14 years to replace all its service lines. TWW has started a lead service line replacement program in the hopes of swaying customers to help the utility in ridding the system of lead. TWW will help customers determine if they have lead lines, and swap them out if so. TWW has received a grant, and plans to use the funding to replace 2,600 lines in the next 18 months. It can cost up to $5,000 to replace a lead service line, TWW director Shing-Fu Hsueh said, but TWW will charge customers $1,000, with grant money to defray the remaining portion.

Hsueh said the fate of the project beyond the next year-and-a-half depends on if TWW can secure more funding and what crews find once they start doing the work. “Nobody knows how many lead lines we have or how long it will take,” he said. Gusciora handpicked Hsueh, a former DEP water quality expert, to assume control of TWW in July 2018. Since Hsueh took over, parts of the filtration plant and distribution system have been cleaned to make sure no dirt or debris enter the water, and new chlorine regulators have been installed to minimize human error. One of TWW’s chlorine contact basins has been cleaned, while another is in the process of being replaced. All the changes should give customers confidence in TWW, Walker said. The spokesman added that TWW customers are “blessed” to have such an impressive facility delivering them “quality drinking water.” For more information about Trenton Water Works’ lead service line program, go online to twwleadprogram.com.

Wrestling team re-writes record book with 23-7 season By Rich FisheR The Lawrence High School wrestling team re-wrote its record book this year and needed about five pens to do so. The ink continually flowed with superlatives as Lawrence posted its first winning record since 2009-10, finished fourth in the Mercer County Meet and qualified three wrestlers for regionals. “This was the most talent I think we’ve had in the four years that I’ve been here,” said senior 113-pounder Darren Ikeda, a senior co-captain along with 126-pounder Miraj Patel. “Everybody wanted to work harder now that we were winning. It was a good feeling in the room, everybody was happy, no one was upset about how they wrestled because everybody’s winning. It feels good to win.” And oh, how they won. Lawrence’s dual meet record of 23-7 smashed the school mark of 15 wins, which was established by both the 2004 and 2005 teams. Coach Chris Lynne, who completed his 32nd year at the helm, felt those two teams were the greatest he ever had as they combined for a state champion and 11 state qualifiers. But even they did not put up the numbers this team did. The Cardinals set new LHS standards for most individual wins, most pins, most sub-minute pins and most wrestlers with 20 wins. Junior 170-pounder Connor Verga set the individual record for most pins and most sub-minute pins, and Lynne became the second coach in Mercer County history to win 300 matches. The accomplishments came about with just two seniors and two juniors in the starting lineup – and one of the seniors was in his first year of wrestling. Was it a surprising season? Evidently

This was a banner year for Lawrence High wrestlers, like Reece Schneck (center), who finished the season as the District 21,132-pound champion. not. “Actually I did expect this kind of success,” Patel said. “Last year we had a young team and we were starting a bunch of freshmen and they were performing extremely well. So I knew in the upcoming years the team would only get better from there. Our record clearly showed that this year. It’s been a long time coming, honestly. But the sophomores and freshmen really stepped up. They work hard.”

DON’T LET THE STATE TAKE YOUR ESTATE

Ikeda was on the same page. “I knew we would be able to go far with who we had,” he said. “We had a great team from the start and I knew we were gonna just get better from there.” From 2015-17, Lawrence struggled with just 14 dual meet wins during those three seasons. Last year, Lynne started 11 freshmen and the Cardinals improved to 12-15. Asked what gave him the faith to pull such a bold move, the coach said,

“It wasn’t a matter of confidence, it was a matter of necessity. We were bad, we weren’t getting anything out of our middle school. But the coaching staff changed over at the middle school, we had a couple former Division I (college) wrestlers running our program and you started to see the difference in the quality of the kids who came up.” Head coach John Gusti and his assistant, Jimmy Stewart, took over the middle school program and suddenly it’s a wonderful life in the Lawrence wrestling rooms. “You still gotta turn them into high school wrestlers, but now at least they have experience and they’re into the sport,” Lynne said. “And our middle school this year is undefeated.” Of the 11 that wrestled last year, 10 are still with the team and the majority started as sophomores. “It took us half a season to kind of man up last year,” Lynne said. “There were little injuries, a little whining, but it was growing pains. Once (assistant) Jeff Bergen and I got them to believe in themselves they took off and that was the building blocks for this year.” Highlighting the sophomore class was 132-pounder Reese Schenck, who was 30-10 entering the region tournament after winning a District 21 title. Sophomores who contributed were 106-pounder Corey Stallworth (25-7 record), Isaiah Hancock (119 pounds, 9-8), Reese Schenck (132-138, 25-10), Brett Gallagher (138, 6-19), Careem Frost (145, 21-11), Jake Dallarda (160, 25-13), Adam Zarow (182, 21-11), George Stoev (195, 4-12), Carlos Gonzalez (182) and Ricardo Cruze (182, 3-7). Freshmen who stepped immediately into a starter’s job were Karry Villalobos (220, 16-20) and Sean Mills (152, 19-22).

As for upperclassmen, the seniors not only provided leadership, but enjoyed stellar seasons themselves. Patel finished 31-10 and Ikeda was 24-12. “We just tried to get everybody to work harder and to wrestle hard in their matches,” Ikeda said. “Even if they’re gonna go up against a tough kid, we tell them to not change how they wrestle; and just wrestle as hard as they can every match.” “We try to make sure practice runs smoothly,” Patel said. “We have to be a good role model for them. Whatever coach says I do without question, and the younger kids catch on to that fast.” The team’s biggest surprise was senior heavyweight Moaamen Nasr, who carried a 23-14 record into regions after taking third at districts in just his first year of wrestling. “I wish I had him for four years,” Lynne said. “He’s athletic. He was a football player, we were working on him for two years to come out. He had a phenomenal season.” The team’s top performer was Verga, who was 33-6 with 27 pins entering regions after taking third place in District 21. “He’s a pinning machine,” Lynne said. “he’s broken every pin record there is, especially under a minute pins. He doubled the past record. He’s the third Verga brother to wrestle for us and he had a great year.” In looking at this year’s successes, Ikeda felt the best dual meet win was over Hightstown, “because we had a lot of great pins and the pins really mattered.”

Overall, it was an entirely new environment in the Cardinals wrestling room, which stemmed from a growing confidence. “After we got a couple wins we started realizing as a team we can become stronger and even better and perform really well,” Patel said. “The atmosphere changed from a losing team to a winning team. We worked harder and we wanted it more. After you get a taste of winning you just keep wanting the same thing.” It was a feeling that permeated throughout the team. Just as losing can be a negative virus that spreads among the wrestlers, winning can be the elixir of happiness. “The kids wanted to work hard,” Lynne said. “The more success they got, they fed off it. In the past few years, we would get

Lawrence High wrestling coach Chris Lynne (right) was honored in Februar y when he reached 300 career victories in his 32 years at the helm. Patel thought the victory over Nottingham was huge, “because we lost to them a lot over the years, so beating them was an accomplishment for our coach and the entire team.” As for the MCT effort, Lawrence’s fourth-place finish was a result of 20 pins, which Lynne called “the difference between fourth place and 10th place by getting all those bonus points.”

in a dual meet and it was ‘Can we beat this team?’ This year is was like ‘How are we gonna beat this team?’ They fed off each other and just got on a roll. If one kid came up short, or something bad happened in a match, the next kid picked them up. They’ll go off the mat and high five the kid behind them, like saying ‘I did that for you.’” The best news for Lynne is the future, as 10 starters return and another talented crop will be coming up from the middle school. “I’m sure the (wins) record is probably gonna be broken in the next couple seasons,” Patel said. “Maybe it will last a year, but hopefully by the time they’re seniors, they’ll break it.” In other words, wrestling is back in full vigor at Lawrence High.

McLean reaches Meet of Champs in first state qualification By Rich Fisher Deon McLean picked the opportune time to put all his training to good use in the 400 meters, leaving him with pleasant winter memories and a lot of confidence heading into the spring track and field season. The Lawrence High junior received a wild card berth to his first NJSIAA Meet of Champions after running a 51.26 at the Group II state meet in Toms River Feb. 16. McLean finished seventh and the top six from each group get automatic bids to the MOC, but McLean’s time was good enough for the wild card. In fact, his mark was tied for 18th best among a field of 42. “I was happy with the race,” McLean said. “I was finally able to put everything together that my coaches have been teaching me. It felt pretty good to be able to do what they have been teaching me for so long.” Coach Bayshawn Wells was thrilled to see McLean leave it all on the Bennett Center track. “He went after it,” Wells said. “He didn’t hold anything back and he still had enough strength in the second lap to catch guys.” Regardless of how he fared at the Feb. 23-24 MOC, just getting there was a big leap for McLean, who had never qualified for a state meet in his first two years. He came to the Cardinals track program in the spring of his freshman year

Deon McLean (left, with coach Bayshawn Wells and teammate Davon Boykin) qualified for a Group 2 Meet berth with a fourthplace finish in the 400 at sectionals. but at the time was more focused on football and basketball. He ran the 800 meters for the middle school team just to keep in shape for football. The Lawrence coaches had him running the 200 early in the season, until some bad weather proved fortuitous. “It’s funny how he ran the 400 for us,”

Wells said. “It was one of our cold meets, our upperclassmen were complaining it was cold and didn’t feel like running. I looked at him and said, ‘Hey, are you able to run this race?’ He said he was and he ran a 55.4 for the first time. Chaz Freeman was the head coach at the time. We looked at each other and said ‘Hey, we may have something special here.’” McLean competed in the Penn Relays that year and qualified for the New Balance National Freshman Meet. He was so inspired by his season that he gave up hoops in his sophomore year to run indoor track. McLean missed the Mercer County meet due to illness, and just missed reaching the Group II meet when he finished seventh in the sectionals. “It was an interesting season,” Wells said. “He can’t even run the counties because he’s sick, and then he just misses qualifying at the sectionals. He was a little upset he didn’t make nationals indoor or outdoor last year. He was running great times, 52s and 51s, but at the time, the time for nationals was 50.9. Other guys were just running better.” At last spring’s county meet, McLean finished 10th in 52.06, but came back to win the sophomore division of the Mercer Freshman-Sophomore meet the next week with an outdoor best of 50.93. “Mentally, that opened my eyes,” Wells said. “I wanted to win that one, I wanted to win the actual championship out of the junior and seniors too but I had a bad race. It gave me more confidence. Coming off the county race I didn’t run too well and to bounce back with a better time, it’s pretty fun.” McLean could not sustain the momentum, however, and finished eighth in the CJ III meet in 51.35. By that point, however, he had totally bought into track and joined Al Jennings’ Trenton Track Club last summer. “That helped a lot,” McLean said. “I became more confident in running. And when you run with a club, there’s a lot more competition out there than just in high school. You’re running against guys with different training methods, really good guys.” It certainly paid off this winter. McLean took third in the Mercer County meet with an indoor PR of 50.99, and fol-

lowed with his strong showing in states. He took fourth in the CJ II meet in 51.38. “Getting to states was a big accomplishment,” McLean said. “I was trying to qualify for them since freshman year. I just missed last year, this year I put in a lot of work to get there.” One thing is certain: McLean has found his niche running the 400, although he will still run the 200 on occasion. “He has the strength and the speed,” Wells said. “Those two go hand in hand with the 400. In the 200 he’s a fine runner, but I think he’s stronger runner who can do the 400. Most 200 guys can do it but if you’re a true 200 sprinter it’s tough for the 400 sometimes. He has the speed to compete with those guys in the 200 but the way he trains and the way we’ve been training him is to be a 400 kind of runner. “He’s strong enough where he can come back and run good splits in the 400. He understands the toughest part is getting it mentally. Mentally he has it now, where he’s supposed to get out, get the time he wants to hit in the first 200 and finishing the last 200 strong. Being strong enough physically to run it and being mentally capable of running it makes him a good 400 runner.” A lot of guys will bemoan the 400, not wishing to run such a long sprint. McLean takes a different view, figuring it gives him some margin for error. “In the short sprints, when you have a bad start it’s hard to make up for it,” he said “In the four you have 400 meters to make up for it. It’s a pretty long time to recover.” McLean agrees with Wells that his mental outlook has gotten better. Much of that has to do with listening to his coaches. “Coach Jennings and Wells always tell me to get out, start off strong and whatever I have at the end try to finish with,” he said. “That definitely plays a big part in my opinion. If you don’t’ get out well, then you kind of give up the race.” And McLean is not about giving up, either in a race or with his career. In some ways, he is just getting started. “He was determined coming into this year,” Wells said. “He ran all summer, and this winter he was all in. He’s so dedicated to it. He locked in and he really had that chip on his shoulder like ‘This is what I want to do.’”
