Our toxic neighbor?

Puppy love

Bordentown would be downwind from proposed hazardous waste plant By roB antheS

First-time children’s book author turns struggles into hope By micheLe aLPerin Any divorce brings with it serious life changes, especially for a woman with two elementary school children. But for Amanda Rowe, it also meant carving away time to do more writing. Rowe’s newest children’s book, If There Never Was a You, was recently published. Although she continued her writing practice when her children were younger—producing three unpublished novels, personal essays, health and nutri-

tion articles, greeting cards and poems—two years ago, right after she moved to Bordentown, she found herself with more alone time. Her 14-year-old son and almost-16-year-old daughter were busy with friends and sports, or they were away at the home of her ex-husband, and she began to get an “empty nest feeling.” Now that she had a little more free time (as much as is possible with a full-time job as administrator of the graduate program in Princeton Universi-

ty’s sociology department), she says, “I started to think, ‘How can I be productive with this time?’” Musing about the enjoyment she had had from her children when they were small, she says, “I started thinking about how my life would have been different if they had never been born.” These thoughts congealed into a poem that captured her love of the small things they had brought into her life. See ROWE, Page 14

The next few weeks mark a crucial juncture for a proposed toxic waste treatment plant in Bucks County that environmentalists say would pollute the air and potentially the drinking water of nearby New Jersey towns. Israel-based Elcon Recycling Services has plans to build a facility in Falls Township that would store and treat nearly 200,000 tons per year of hazardous and residual waste. This includes mercury, lead, cadmium, benzine, vinyl chloride and 260 other chemicals. Elcon says the facility is safe and “eco-friendly,” and has touted the 150 temporary construction jobs and 55 full-time jobs that would be created by the facility. But nearby residents say the loss of a few dozen jobs is a small price to pay to ensure the health and safety of the region. Many of them speak from experience, and worry that the same towns that woke up covered with red dust from the Fairless Works steel mill in the mid-20th century would be in the path of pollution from Elcon’s stack. If built, the plant would be near the Delaware River, directly across from Hamilton Township and upwind from Bordentown City. The body that has the final say—the Falls Township Board of Supervisors—was scheduled to meet regarding Elcon for the first time. In a press release, Falls Township said the Elcon matter “could be decided” during the special meeting, held 7 p.m. in Keller Hall at Pennsbury High School West, Fairless Hills.

The meeting comes on the heels of a March 26 unanimous decision from the Falls Township planning commission to not recommend plans for the Elcon facility. The planning commission does not have legal authority, but the Falls supervisor board does factor its recommendations into decisions. Then, later in May, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection will announce its decision on a series of Phase II permit applications submitted by Elcon. If deemed technically complete, the process advances to a 45-day public comment period. Both the Falls Township meeting and the PADEP decision are important moments in a process that has drawn out for five years. But neither necessarily marks the end. If Elcon receives the approvals it seeks, it would build a 70,000-square-foot storage and treatment facility on a 33-acre plot of land on Dean Sievers Place. The plant would accept toxic waste from approximately 20 tanker trucks daily, carrying aqueous material from automotive shops, mining operations, pharmaceutical and industrial manufacturing plants. Elcon has said waste would come via truck only to Falls Township from 10 East Coast states. Liquid waste would be stored in tanks on the property until ready for treatment. Elcon is unique in that it uses thermal oxidation, not incineration, to treat waste. The treatment process separates material into four parts: sludge, salt, distilled water and volatile organic compound vapors. The VOCs would go up the facility’s stack, where they would be treated and then released into the air. Elcon’s current proposal says it will operSee TOXIC, Page 7

AROUND TOWN cont. from Page 6 The Abbott Marshlands is an urban wetland where osprey, marsh wrens, butterflies and dragonflies live. The occasional beluga whale and harp seal have been sighted. Human visitors, in addition to students on field trips, include hikers, cyclists, bird watchers, canoeists and kayakers, fishers and hunters, and photographers and artists. Their experiences are enhanced by offerings at the Tulpehaking Nature Center that was created by Mercer County in partnership with D&R Greenway and the NJ Green Acres Program. The new TravelStorys apps provide paddling and walking tours, along with 15 new signs with trail maps. Released in 2017, the TravelStorys app enables a visitor to imagine making a journey back in time, navigating Crosswicks Creek in the Abbott Marshlands, visiting the bluffs that witnessed Lenape Indian life, early English settlers and French royalty. App users can hear the sounds of a railroad, summer insects and the call of an osprey as they learn about key events that shifted the course of American history. The Circuit Trails is a regional network of hundreds of miles of multi-use trails in the Greater Philadelphia region. D&R Greenway has extended the connections to the Greater Trenton area. When complete the Circuit Trails will include 750 miles of multi-use paths for cyclists, walkers, runners, commuters and families for recreation and active transportation. Plans are underway to connect the Tulpehaking Nature Center,

TOXIC continued from Page 1 ate the thermal oxidizer for 8,400 hours per year, meaning the facility would emit from its stack on average 23 hours per day, every day. Among the resulting pollutants are nitrogen oxides, which can combine with the ambient air to create smog. The company claims on its website that its emissions will not have an adverse impact on air quality “in Bucks County or surrounding areas in Pennsylvania.” Sludge and salts are shipped off the property for final disposal. This is the purpose of the facility: to convert the liquid waste into a solid, which is lighter and cheaper to transport. Critics have decried the plant’s location as much as its purpose. The facility would be built a mile from the Delaware River, and just 2,000 feet from Biles Creek, a tidally influenced tributary of the Delaware. The site also encompasses wetlands that are connected to the river. Water experts say a spill at the facility could easily wind up in the Delaware, polluting a water supply used by 15 million people. In a 2015 letter, the Philadelphia Water Department, which takes 60 percent of the water for the City of Philadelphia from the Delaware River, wrote that the Elcon facility should be rejected “given the risk of multiple-day contamination of the tidal drinking water supply to millions of people located downstream.” Elcon disputes such a risk exists, but has agreed to a number of measures to ease concerns. They include installing a barrier wall and limiting construction to the 22 acres of its property not considered wetlands. But the measures haven’t been enough to quiet criticism of the proposal. Bordentown City deputy mayor John Brodowski has long opposed Elcon. “Of course any kind of construction jobs are good. And dealing with these chemicals has to happen; they are a byproduct of modern society. This facility could be a good way to do that,” he said. “But it shouldn’t be here. The risks far outweigh the reward. Fifty permanent jobs doesn’t seem to be worth the impact it could potentially have on millions of people.” Concern is especially strong in New Jersey’s riverside communities, which would be affected by anything Elcon might do to the air or water. Tracking air pollution is extremely technical and complex, but the general rule is that pollution affects a 30-mile radius from the source, guided by the prevailing wind. In Pennsylvania, that wind goes west to east, meaning that New Jersey would suffer the bulk of the pollution effects from the Elcon facility. This 30-mile radius would cover a large portion of the state, stretching beyond New Brunswick to the north, Howell to the east and Cherry Hill to the south. But the greater effects would be felt closer to the facility, where the pollutants would be more concentrated. Within four miles of the proposed Elcon plant, there are nearly

40 schools just in New Jersey, including Clara Barton Elementary School in Bordentown City 3.2 miles away. In fact, there are more than 10,000 schoolchildren within the four-mile radius, according to a resolution passed by the supervisor board in Newtown Borough, Pennsylvania. Newtown is just one of many municipalities on both sides of the Delaware River, including Bordentown City and Bordentown Township, to have passed similar resolutions opposing the facility. Air pollution could also have an effect on water quality, says Fred Stine, citizen action coordinator with Delaware Riverkeeper Network, a nonprofit based in Bristol, Pennsylvania. Small pieces of solid waste, called particulate, go into the air with the gases expelled by the stack. The particulate matter eventually falls to ground level, where it can be inhaled by people or enter water sources like rivers and streams. “Air pollution and hazardous waste accidents do not know New Jersey from Pennsylvania,” said Russell Zerbo, advocacy coordinator for Clean Air Council, an environmental nonprofit based in Philadelphia. “It doesn’t turn around at the state line.” PADEP doesn’t factor in such information, though, when considering proposals like Elcon’s. Its rules require a strict focus on the facility and land itself as they relate to the permits Elcon seeks. PADEP doesn’t consider the potential danger of waste traveling to or from the facility, nor does it consider the existing pollution burden on the area of the application. Elcon says concerns about the facility and PADEP’s limitations are unfounded. “Elcon believes that its applications comply with all of the applicable regulations and that it has taken many steps to go beyond what is required by the regulations in an effort to address public concerns,” said Joel Bolstein, an environmental lawyer at Fox Rothschild, the Philadelphia law firm that represents Elcon. “Also, Elcon believes the facility is properly zoned, and it can fully comply with all applicable local ordinances.” Elcon has taken plenty of steps to appease critics, including conducting voluntary pollution and spill modeling, agreeing to install monitoring systems in the facility’s stack and even making plans to elevate the facility above the 100-year and 500-year floodplains. Elcon also says it will not take fracking, medical or radioactive waste. The company agreed to install groundwater monitoring wells and impermeable liner and a shut-off valve in its stormwater basin. The facility itself will have zero wastewater discharges, according to PADEP. During its attempts to build new facilities elsewhere in the world, Elcon took similar steps to win over local residents, with no luck. Elcon says it has developed “the most See TOXIC, Page 8

Signs opposing the Elcon toxic waste processing plant, such as this one on Crosswicks Street, are a common sight in Bordentown City. (Staff photo by Samantha Sciarrotta.) TOXIC continued from Page 7 eco-friendly way to treat hazardous liquid waste streams.” If its literature is accurate, that is true at least compared to alternatives, such as incineration and deep-well injection. The company says its emissions will be “99.9 percent free of contaminants,” “will not be a major source of nitrogen oxides” and “will not have an adverse impact on air quality or ‘ozone days’ in Bucks County or surrounding areas in Pennsylvania.” Some of those claims are misleading, though. An air dispersion model released by the company voluntarily in February 2019 says Elcon will release carbon monoxide, lead, sulfur dioxide and particulate matter into the air. A plan approval document submitted to PADEP in October 2018 also says Elcon wants permission to emit 10 tons per year of hydrochloric acid. When released as a gas, hydrochloric acid can mix with water in the atmosphere, resulting in acid rain. It can also appear in what is called a dry deposition, where acidic particles react with the atmosphere to form larger particles that can be harmful to human health, according to the federal Environmental Protection Agency. The October 2018 plan approval document also states Elcon’s intent to release 23.4 tons per year of nitrogen oxides, just under the EPA standard for a major polluter. Elcon contradicts its own claims in a footnote on the same page, saying it is seeking permission to emit nitrogen oxides at the EPA major polluter standard of 25 tons per year. Elsewhere in the 313-page document are dozens of pages of testing results from its facility in Israel written in Hebrew, without further explanation. Elcon’s claims regarding air quality are perhaps the most alarming when considering its proposed nitrogen oxides emission and what it might do to the air quality in the area. Nitrogen oxides are a major contributor to the development of groundlevel ozone. Also known as smog, groundlevel ozone is a dangerous pollutant. According to the EPA, ground-level ozone can cause health issues including damaging airways and aggravating existing lung diseases such as asthma, emphysema and chronic bronchitis. The EPA says ground-level ozone continues to damage the lungs even when the symptoms have

disappeared. Even without Elcon, the Trenton region has some of the worst air quality in the country. According to the American Lung Association, Mercer County had 29 high ozone days in the last three years, the worst in New Jersey. This distinction takes on increased importance when considering that New Jersey as a state fails federal standards for air quality. Of the 15 New Jersey counties tracking ground level ozone, 11 did not meet American Lung Association standards, including Mercer County. Bucks County, meanwhile, had 28 high ozone days in the last three years, tied for the worst in Pennsylvania. Neighboring Philadelphia County also had 28 high ozone days. Burlington County does not track air quality. But, with Mercer County just to the north and Bucks County to its immediate west, Burlington County has some of the worst ground-level ozone levels in the United States around it. The region as a whole belongs to the Newark-NYC and Philadelphia-Camden regions, the 10th and 25th worst for ozone in the country. Because of this, Elcon has met resistance from residents in the area ever since it first submitted an application in 2014. In fact, Hamilton Township and Trenton are the only neighboring municipalities without a resolution opposing it. Hamilton Township council president Jeff Martin, in an email, said he wasn’t aware of the Elcon proposal until contacted by the Bordentwon Current about it. Martin said he reached out to Hamilton’s state representatives to see what, if anything, the state can do to protect New Jersey residents from the facility. One of them, Assemblyman Daniel Benson, in turn questioned New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Catherine McCabe about Elcon during her budget testimony before the Assembly in April. McCabe said she would look into it, and get back to Benson. There already had been action at the state level prior to Martin’s inquiry, however symbolic it is. In 2016, Herb Conaway and Troy Singleton, who then represented Bordentown in the Assembly, introduced a bill opposing Elcon’s construction. Linda Greenstein, who represents Hamilton, submitted an identical bill


to the Senate. Neither made it to the floor for a full vote. Conaway tried again in October 2018, this time with the backing of Carol Murphy (D-Burlington), Verlina ReynoldsJackson (D-Mercer) and Anthony Verrelli (D-Mercer). Singleton, now a state senator, introduced the same bill in the senate. Both await votes in committee. The freeholder boards in Burlington County and Mercer County have also adopted a resolution opposing the construction of Elcon’s facility. These resolutions are about the extent of action that can be taken in New Jersey. “It’s really fortunate New Jersey residents have gotten involved with this,” said Zerbo of Clean Air Council. “Legally, people in New Jersey really don’t have much they can do in this process. You have to have this fight in the court of public opinion and apply as much pressure as possible.” A facility of this type often attracts opposition from environmentalists and concerned residents. But the urgency around the Elcon proposal seems heightened because the perceived risks are so high. The battle over the Falls Township facility boils down to this: is the unknown company trustworthy enough to be allowed to test its method in the heart of the Interstate 95 corridor, along a river that provides drinking water for millions of Americans? Do the boards with approval power know enough about how the facility would operate to make an informed decision? And is there anything in the proposal that legally allows opponents to prevent Elcon from doing what it wants?

“Elcon boasts this is cutting-edge technology,” Delaware Riverkeeper Network’s Fred Stine said. “But they have very little experience. They have one facility in Israel. The question out there is: How much due diligence is PADEP and Falls Township doing to see how that facility is operating in Israel? What they’re doing in Israel is a good indication of what they’ll be doing here.” *** Deep in the deserts of southern Israel, among chemical plants and disposal sites, rests a small toxic waste treatment plant that is Elcon’s only location in the world. But the far-flung facility only tells part of the company’s history and ambitions. Founded in 2003, Elcon started treating toxic waste in 2004 at a facility in Haifa, Israel’s third largest city. The plant was located within the city limits, about a quarter-mile from a residential area. In Haifa, Elcon regularly violated Israeli environmental regulations, according to a document in Elcon’s PADEP application. In April 2012 alone, the facility exceeded wastewater discharge limits for Total Organic Carbon, chloride, potassium, sulfates, copper and nickel. That same year, it also exceeded levels of sulfide, nickel and potentially toxic halogenated carbons multiple times. (Elcon has since developed a zero wastewater system, meaning that if it works as advertised, the Falls Township facility would not discharge effluent.) Then, several years later, an Israeli government effort to clean up Haifa Bay forced Elcon and other polluters to close their facilities.

Elcon relocated to Ramat Hovav, the site of Israel’s main hazardous waste disposal facility. Inside Ramat Hovav Industrial Zone, there are more than a dozen chemical factories, including plants that produce bromine, pesticides and pharmaceuticals. The Israeli government developed the zone for industry it wanted far away from population centers. But the government also resettled Bedouin tribes nearby, including one village less than a mile from Ramat Hovav Industrial Zone. A study conducted by the Israeli Ministry of Health in July 2004— long before Elcon relocated there— found higher rates of miscarriages, prenatal deaths, respiratory problems and birth defects among Bedouin in the area, according to a report by Al-Jazeera. The report added that residents have noticed a prevalence of other health issues, including cancer, childhood asthma, eye infections and infertility. This is the only place in the world where Elcon’s process is used to treat toxic waste. Not much is known about how Elcon’s process works and how it would scale to the larger facility proposed for Falls Township. Elcon has been in its new location in Israel for several years now, but the facility hasn’t come up to full operation yet, Stine said. It currently treats 120,000 tons of aqueous industrial waste, just more than half the amount proposed for Falls Township. Despite this, Elcon has focused for nearly a decade on expanding its reach. The search for a place amenable to a second Elcon location has spanned two

continents. From 2011 until 2015, Elcon targeted several towns in the northern Italian province of Lombardy, including Castellanza, 17 miles from the city center of Milan. In Castellanza, the project faced stiff opposition. Residents protested for more than two years, organizing marches with hundreds of people, jamming local squares. Elcon eventually backed down, pulling the proposal in March 2014, according to Italian news outlet Varese News. At the same time, in 2011, Elcon approached the municipal government in Lakewood, Ocean County, about building a plant there. During a May 26, 2011 meeting of the local council, Elcon representatives said Lakewood was attractive because it was “well situated along the pharmaceutical belt that runs essentially from Philadelphia up to New York,” according to official minutes from the meeting. Ultimately, Lakewood rejected Elcon. So, company officials turned their attention to a place they thought would be more agreeable: Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Elcon submitted a proposal in 2014 for 33 acres of a former steel mill along the Delaware River in Falls Township. The surrounding industrial park already included several landfills, incinerators and manufacturing plants. Elcon seemed to fit in just fine there. “One of the foolish things industry has said is if you use chemicals in your life, you have to accept this facility here,” Zerbo said. “This area has an immense See TOXIC, Page 10

TOXIC continued from Page 9 waste burden. They have done nothing but literally dump on Falls Township since U.S. Steel closed.” *** Falls Township owes much of its history to 3,800 acres of former farmland abutting the Delaware River. It was there, in March 1951, that United States Steel opened a mill. Dubbed the Fairless Works, the factory employed thousands of people, and attracted scores of families to the surrounding area. Two new housing developments were built in Falls Township to satisfy the demand: one with 1,100 units called Fairless Hills and another with 4,000 homes named Levittown. The population of Falls Township increased tenfold, from 3,000 to 30,000, during this time. U.S. Steel stayed a major employer in the area for two decades. It began decreasing operations at Fairless Works in 1973, though, sending Falls Township searching for the next use for the land that was so vital to its growth and economy. In 1970, further south along the river, a 46-acre landfill opened. It became a key moment for the future of riverside development in Falls Township. The landfill continued to expand, eventually reaching its current 566 acres. Fairless Works remained opened in a decreased capacity until 2001, at which point U.S. Steel began cleaning up and subdividing the polluted property it left behind. Pennsylvania stepped in four years later, in 2005, to sweeten the pot by designating the complex a Keystone Opportunity Investment Zone. As a KOIZ, the renamed Keystone Industrial Port Center would receive a substantial reduction in local and state taxes. In exchange, the KOIZ had to create a plan to attract development to the former U.S. Steel land. Similar deals were struck across Pennsylvania as part of a larger umbrella program, the nearly identically named Keystone Opportunity Zone program. KOZ began in 1998 as a limited-run initiative to boost depressed areas. Initially, experts hailed the program as the model for stimulating economic development. But, in June 2009, the Pennsylvania General Assembly’s Legislative Budget and Finance Committee released a study that painted a different picture. The KOZ program had “overstated” job creation and capital investment figures, the study said. It concluded that “many KOZ participants and their associated KOZ projects provide little, if any, job creation or capital investment in return for the KOZ tax exemptions/abatement benefits they receive.” The government still hailed the KOIZ in Falls Township as a success, though, on the strength of the complex’s mission to fill the brownfield with environmentally friendly projects. Green energy companies, like AE Polysilicon and Gamesa Energy, came to Falls Township. A large data center opened there. There was talk of turning some parcels into large solar farms. For the effort, the Keystone Industrial Port Complex won the 2010 Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence. In 2018, PADEP announced that the complex had entered into a Sustainability

HEAVIEST AIR POLLUTION IMPACT Proposed Elcon Plant Location

Tracking air pollution is extremely complex, but the general rule is pollution affects a 30-mile radius from the source. With the prevailing wind going west to east, New Jersey could suffer the bulk of the effects from the proposed Elcon toxic waste facility. (Graphic by Stacey Micallef.) Partnership with EPA, a pledge to reduce waste, natural resource consumption and energy use. PADEP lauded KIPC as a success, but by that point it hardly resembled the green industrial zone it set out to be. Falls Township, in particular, sought to attract a wider range of industry to KIPC, having changed its zoning laws in 2008 to allow for hazardous waste and landfill operations on the site. There are more than 50 companies there now, including steel manufacturers, medical marijuana facilities, material suppliers, scrap metal yards, salt distributors and chemical labs and warehouses. In the same area, there are three landfills, a contaminated soil incinerator and a municipal waste incinerator. All are adjacent, but not all are included in KIPC. Development isn’t finished at the site, either. Zerbo said Waste Management, which runs the landfills, wants to construct new gas flares in the area. Gas flares are a way for landfills to burn off waste gases created by the facility. Waste gases usually are a mixture of methane, carbon dioxide and other substances. And, of course, there’s the possibility of Elcon. Across the Delaware River, the residents of Bordentown City wonder what the effect on them will be. When U.S. Steel was open, they would wake up with red dust covering their houses, particulate from the plant. In recent years, Bordentown City has been subject to strong, unpleasant odors coming from the landfills and industry in Falls Township. On the homepage of the Bordentown City website, alongside listings for community events, is an image of a fish and a dirty sock with “Reporting Offensive Odor” written above it. A link leads to a webpage with phone numbers residents can call to report bad smells, including the DEP in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The Bordentown City deputy mayor,

Stacks from the Keystone Industrial Port Complex are visible from Bordentown Beach April 15, 2019. A toxic waste treatment facility proposed for the complex would be built directly across the Delaware River from Hamilton, and could have effects on air quality in the township. (Staff photo by Samantha Sciarrotta.) Brodowski, knows the effect industry across the river has had on his constituents, and worries what Elcon might bring. He has been a vocal presence at meetings about the Elcon project and has tried to rally people to fight against the proposal. There are many things about Elcon’s quest to come to Falls Township that don’t sit well with him, among them the existence of a “green” industrial park where a toxic waste treatment plant could be a viable tenant. “Really, there should be some sort of accountability for that,” Brodowski said. “There was a bait-and-switch along the way.” The KOIZ status for the Keystone Industrial Port Complex site expired Dec. 31, 2018. Environmentalists like Zerbo expect Elcon to seek the tax incentives anyway, citing the fact that the applications for the facility were filed well before the KOIZ benefits lapsed. But there’s a chance the KOIZ era is over in Falls Township. And to Brodowski, who has seen and heard stories about his city bearing the brunt of the industry along the Falls Township side of the river for decades, it’s a chance to change direction. “When you start digging into it, it’s a bigger problem than just one facility,” Brodowski said. “It may be a really good opportunity for the state and Falls Township to reevaluate what is happening in that complex because it has gone in the wrong direction.” *** Those who have been fighting Elcon from the beginning see the next few weeks as the chance to gain ground in a battle against an unyielding opponent. “There are glimmers of hope all over the place,” Brodowski said. “There are many bodies who could put a stop to it. It’s just frustrating how long it’s been going on, and it’s still happening.” The Falls Township supervisors were scheduled to hear the proposal for the first time during a much anticipated April 30 meeting. The board said in a press release it couldn’t take action on Elcon before the company submitted a formal land development plan. Then, the PADEP review of Elcon’s Phase II applications ends in May, trigger-

ing the start of a 45-day period for public comment on the project. “It’s going to be a short public comment period,” Zerbo said. “If you’re concerned about the prospect of having a toxic waste facility basically in the Delaware River, you need to be talking to your neighbors and your public officials now.” But no matter what the government decides, it won’t be the end of Elcon most likely. The company’s Falls Township proposal has been denied by PADEP three times already, once in 2015 and twice in 2017. Elcon and its critics are gearing up for a lengthy legal battle should Falls Township rule against the proposal. Brodowski said Elcon’s attorneys hinted as much March 26 after the Falls Township planning commission voted to not recommend the project. Delaware Riverkeeper Network has been soliciting donations to fight Elcon in preparation for this moment. A crowdfunding campaign by the nonprofit in early April gained $15,282. Even going as far back as March, Stine had been recommending that municipalities share services and legal representation against Elcon. He noted that some municipal governments—particularly Bordentown City’s—have been more active than others in the fight. “Bordentown City can’t shoulder all the burden to benefit all these towns,” Stine said. The likelihood that a legal battle might ensue is increased by the fact that PADEP can only deny the project on the specifics of Elcon’s application. It doesn’t consider the logistics involved of getting the waste to or from Elcon, or any scenarios outside normal operations, such as a spill or accident. PADEP can only look at what Elcon has provided to it. Critics worry about this, particularly because Elcon has made a lot of promises it can easily break without penalty once it builds a facility. Elcon has said it will accept waste from 10 states, but there’s nothing stopping it from widening its service area. It has said it will ship waste to specialized landfills, but Elcon can save money by getting a waiver to reclassify the waste coming out of its facility as not See TOXIC, Page 12

TOXIC continued from Page 11 hazardous, and dispose of the treated waste in existing landfills nearby. The company has repeatedly said it will not accept waste from fracking, but Brodowski said the proposed facility will have the capability to handle it, leaving Elcon’s word as the only barrier to entry into the fracking industry. Pennsylvania is one of the top states for fracking in the country, providing a large, local market should Elcon change its mind. Even enforceable pollution limits are often a suggestion. Zerbo said the precedent is there, with facilities in KIPC already exceeding air pollution regulations and paying the fines as “the cost of doing business.” There are also lots of details Elcon has yet to release or possibly even decide, such as where exactly it will be sending the waste or the routes the full tanker trucks will take to and from the facility. Elcon has agreed to map the approach route so that trucks will not pass by schools, nursing homes and hospitals. But the promise only applies to the final stretch to the facility, once in Falls. Nothing has been revealed about the path trucks would take to get to that point, including which roads in New Jersey they would take to get into Pennsylvania. Trucks carrying hazardous material take local roads every day, something that Brodowski and other Elcon opponents admit. But their concern is the concentration of trucks that will exist with a facility in the area. Elcon has said it will receive approximately 20 truckloads of toxic waste every day, and has the capabilities to process 17 of them daily. It has not disclosed how many trucks will leave the Falls facility with freshly treated waste

each day. And should there be a spill or accident, the plan to handle it is unclear. Stine said the company has proposed using the driver as the first line of defense. “If a guy is in an accident, he probably won’t be cleaning up spills,” Stine said. Brodowski also worries about an accident during the transportation process, particularly because response could fall on local emergency services departments without the equipment or training to handle hazardous waste. “They’re the first responders,” Brodowski said. “They’re on their own. There’s not going to be any assistance. I didn’t hear anything about special training or increased budget allocations or anything like that. It’s frustrating that it’s looked at in a vacuum, and not the impact it will have on all these compounding other factors.” Despite the large number of missing details about the yet-to-be-built Falls Township facility, Elcon also already has plans to expand it in a second phase of construction. The expansion would double the facility’s size to 140,000 square feet. There are still plenty of questions remaining about Elcon and its quest to build a plant in Falls Township. But one thing is for sure: Elcon has once again met opposition as determined as it is. As history has shown, whether Elcon’s facility becomes reality largely depends on how many local residents decide they want to speak up against it. “People have their opinions about environmentalists,” Brodowski said. “But the reality is if these things aren’t in place, there’s a direct impact on your health and your quality of life. This is a real thing that is happening right in our backyard.”

ROWE continued from Page 1 Realizing that the poem was well suited to becoming a children’s book, she submitted it to publishers. Familius quickly picked it up, to the surprise of Rowe, who had never published a children’s book. Rowe was especially pleased with the illustrations by Olga Skomorokhova, so much so that she decided to interview the illustrator for her blog. The piece is soon to go live on Rowe’s website, amandarowewrites. com. “My writing career has been a huge surprise,” she says, adding that the marketing demands were “nothing like I pictured.” An introvert, Rowe started writing in part because she wanted to be home and by herself. But when Familius’s publicist told her she needed to have an online presence and get out there and meet with people, she developed a website and started a blog. But what she feared most was the book tour, which turned out to be very positive. “It forced me out of comfort zone into something that now I love,” she says. Rowe grew up in Manchester, in Ocean County. Her father works with computers, and her mother is a paralegal. Rowe graduated from Manchester Township High School in 1993 and attended Eastern College, now Eastern University, in St. Davids, Pennsylvania, on the Main Line in Philadelphia. Rowe took a leave of absence for what was supposed to be a semester, for personal reasons. She intended to go back, but ended up working her way up at

here every day.” She started applying for a university job, and 18 months later landed one as administrative assistant to “two very busy professors,” Noreen Goldman and Marta Tienda. About five years into her marriage and three years into her Princeton University job, Rowe got pregnant with her daughter, who was born June 12, 2003. “I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom when

the baby was little,” Rowe says, so she took a leave of absence that stretched to 10 years. Her son was born in fall 2004. “I enjoyed the time at home with my kids, but missed working,” Rowe says. “I found myself craving an intellectual outlet when I was changing diapers and playing with Play Doh.” That’s when she began freelance writing, grabbing moments to write “every time my kids were napping or at night when they were sleeping,” she says. “The nice thing about being a freelancer was that you could do it whenever you had time and you could take a week off if you needed to.” Life began to throw additional challenges her way when at age 7 her daughter started losing weight and became lethargic and pale. “Everybody thought it was a weird childhood virus,” she recalls. Although the doctors reassured Rowe that her daughter would probably grow out of it, Rowe was not convinced. She says, “She was wasting away before our eyes.” But Rowe kept pressing the doctors as her daughter’s weight and energy diminished, and eventually they did blood work, as well as a colonoscopy and endoscopy, and diagnosed Crohn’s, an inflammatory bowel disease. Once they had a diagnosis, they started with dietary changes. First, a liquid diet, then, because her body wasn’t digesting her food, they put her on predigested shakes and she started to gain weight, get her energy back, and went into remission. In 2011 she and her ex-husband split unofficially and started the divorce pro-

cess, agreeing to share custody. She moved with her children to a rented townhouse in Hamilton, where she took a break from writing as she tried to get her children situated. “All we needed was to find a new normal,” she says. But normality was not to happen. One morning when she returned home after dropping her children at school, a pipe burst in the ceiling. The ceiling fell into their living room, and, she says, “we were homeless.” At the time a friend invited them to move in short term, and eventually she found a place in Ewing, where she spent a couple of years. But the commute to take her children to school in Mansfield, where they had remained since the divorce, was a long one and began to take its toll. That’s when she decided to move to Bordentown, about 10 minutes from her children’s school. Not long after the flood, her daughter’s health started to deteriorate. “She was in great pain, and everything she ate upset her,” Rowe says. Testing revealed that she had a stricture, a narrowing of the intestines that had caused a blockage and needed surgery right away. The surgery at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia was more complex than expected and lasted four hours instead of one, and the recovery was rough. But her daughter came through with flying colors. “She has such a positive attitude,” Rowe says. “She’s been through so much, and she is kind, optimistic, loving, and strong.” Having weathered these significant health struggles, her daughter looked

This year, because of her commitments to the lacrosse team, she will not be participating. Using the research she had done in the wake of her daughter’s health issues, Rowe started to write nonfiction articles on health, nutrition, and in particular Crohn’s disease. She also wrote personal essays that she is thrilled that she can now post on her new website.

Rowe maintains that by being both honest and vulnerable in her writing, she can use it as a way to connect with other people. “The best writing is relatable and it’s not going to be relatable if I’m sugarcoating it,” she says. “I think the fact that I openly talk about my struggles, my pain, and my failures lets people know it’s okay to be vulnerable and okay to have struggles.” “It’s scary sometimes,” she says about publishing personal essays online. “I feel as if I am publishing my diary on the internet.” But, she adds, “maybe in sharing those struggles I can make someone who is struggling now feel less alone.” Rowe’s experiences with divorce, single parenting, and her daughter’s health struggles have changed her. “I’ve been through a lot of difficult things in my life, and I hope that what that has done is give me empathy, made me less judgmental, and made me kinder,” she says. “There has to be a purpose in all that pain,” she says. The purpose she has found is using her writing to offer help, encouragement, and hope to people who are suffering or struggling with issues she has faced. For Rowe, her religion amplifies the lessons she has learned from writing and from life “I hope it makes me be more compassionate, be less judgmental, and be kinder. It encourages me to be generous and hopefully use whatever I have to help others and not for my own selfish ambition.” Rowe moved to Bordentown not just for its “fantastic shops and restaurants.”

She says, “It also has a real sense of community; I think people really rally around each other.” She had also been looking for a church with those communal values and found it at Celebration Community Church, which she describes as “kind, warm, and welcoming.” Rowe recently finished a guest post for the Whole Mamas Club website on their theme for this month: single parenting. She is also working on getting her next children’s book published and looking for an agent to take care of the business side of her writing career. “My kids have been the rock, the stable thing in my life, the best thing in my life,” Rowe says. She wrote the book because she wanted them “to know you make me happy.” Although as is true of all children, there are times when they are frustrating. “But at the end of the day I’m so thankful that they were born. After all these years, they are the highlight of my day.” Both of her children seem to have inherited a bit of her creative gene. Her son, who she describes as “more of an athlete” (he plays soccer and baseball), also “excellent at drawing.” Her daughter, who is so much like Rowe that she calls her “Mini-me,” is an excellent writer, but also a cheerleader and lacrosse player. Although her children have seen her struggles as a single mom, she says what has been most important is that they have seen her work through her challenges and overcome them. “It’s not easy, but that doesn’t mean you should give up,” she says.

www.HomeSweetHomeStudio.com • homesweethome@verizon.net Hiller y Lamb (left) recently took over as manager of the Bordentown City Farmers Market. The market will be held Sunday mornings at the Carslake Community Center.

By KeVin KUnZmann What makes a farmers market stand out? There are more factors at hand than people may consider. Its location, its schedule, the amount of vendors, the quality of vendors—even the ratio of vendors is crucial. Do people want more farm stand options, or more retail? Hillery Lamb is looking at this very problem as if it were a scientific equation. After previously working for former managers and local restauranteurs Matt and Danielle McElmoyl, the five-year Bordentown resident is looking to balance new scales in her first season as manager of the Bordentown Farmer’s Market when it returns to the Carslake Community Center on Sunday morning, June 2. And yes, that’s a new time, old space. Moving to a Sunday morning start time

will be Lamb’s first of a series of changes intended to turn the weekly market into an event embedded in its community. Part of that is adding a weekend attraction, which naturally leads buyers at the market to downtown Bordentown. “When you think about farmers markets, you want to wake up on Sunday mornings, stroll around, and get your stuff,” she explained. “I think it’d be great to have people come up and be able to enjoy a cup of coffee, relax, and get their produce for the week.” After speculation of a change in location throughout the offseason, though, Lamb said the market will remain at Carslake for the time being. The final decision was only made recently, as Lamb realized she would already be juggling a few other additions and variables in her first year.

Though the market’s lineup is still not official, Lamb anticipated they will regularly host about three or four farmers, two or three food trucks, about three baked goods vendors, a couple novelty vendors and craft tables each, a honey vendor and a florist. She added a seafood vendor onto her wish list, as well. The planned lineup, which could fluctuate week-by-week, is a revision from Lamb’s original plan of adding about another half-dozen farm stands. She reconsidered the idea when speaking with West Windsor Community Farmers Market manager Chris Cirkus after getting the job. “You want the farmers to do well,” Lamb said. “I originally thought to move it to 8 farmers, but she suggested keeping it small so they could still make good money.” It wasn’t the only inspiration—or input—to come from neighboring farmer’s markets. Lamb is fixed on larger markets such as those in West Windsor, Trenton, Burlington County, and Collingswood. Though the Bordentown market will continue on at Carslake, Lamb would likely have to move it to reach bigger and better goals. “They all provide an awesome template for the possibilities of a market, and it gives you something to strive for,” she said. “The goals for this year were to get a lot of vendors and make it a place you want to be.” Over the past few months, Lamb has been looking into means by which she can garner help for the Bordentown market. She came across a series of grants from the United States Depart-

ment of Agriculture which, in turn for her team designating a space for the farmers market, would indicate is as a more defined staple in the community. That would mean the addition of community classes like cooking, and the opportunity for people to rent the space out for events. The idea of her managing a farmers market that could double as a wedding venue made Lamb laugh, but is possible all the same. With just a little more than a month until the season begins, Lamb is optimistic. She currently has about 18 pending vendor applications, a log of advice from fellow market managers and the McElmoyl’s, and overwhelming support from her town. She credited committees such as the Bordentown City’s Green Team for being instrumental in helping her create an “artisanal appeal” for the market while maintaining a waste-friendly infrastructure. “Mayor Lynch and the commissioners embraced all my new ideas,” Lamb said. “Aside from asking what I needed or adding minimal input, they really allowed me to change some things without resistance.” And there’s sure to be even more changes to come. From helping make burritos for the McElmoyl’s stand to now running the show, Lamb has a lot of ideas to make the Bordentown Farmers Market an event. But she also has questions to answer still—about the vendors, the schedule, the location, a little bit of everything. “With science projects, you change one variable at a time, and you figure out what’s the best combination,” she said.

By Samantha Sciarrotta Alexander Graham Bell established the concept of pioneering in promote fellowship and community service within the telephone workforce. Now, 100 years later, the Trenton-Burlington Life Member chapter of the New Vision Pioneers—also known as the Telephone Pioneers of America—aims to carry on that mission. The group, led by president Mary Ann Goodrich, a Bordentown resident, meets once a month at the Town and Country Diner for lunch, socialization and a meeting. All are former employees of the telephone industry. They often discuss new or ongoing service projects, and there are many. This year, they’ve collected backpacks filled with personal care items for children, donated handmade hats for infants to Capital Health in Hopewell and provided items and a monetary donation to the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen. The group also works with local police departments to make and

donate Hug-A-Bears, stuffed animals that are given to children during a point of crisis. “The work continues, and we all have the good feeling that goes with helping others,” Goodrich said. This year, one of the group’s main projects is assembling birthday party kits—including cake mix, icing, candles, paper cups, a festive table cloth, a birthday banner, napkins and an aluminum pan in a gift bag—for children whose families may not be able to afford a celebration. Title Evolution, a business based in Bordentown, provided $300 to get the project off the ground. “We have fun, yes,” Goodrich said. “Good lunch, absolutely. But more than that, we have likeminded folks who care about others and are always willing to extend a kind word to each other.” The New Vision Pioneers meet once a month at the Town and Country Diner.

24Bordentown Current | May 2019

If it becomes a special season for the Bordentown High softball team, there’s a good chance April 7 can be considered the day the tone was set. In winning the first Rancocas Valley Elite Tournament title in program history, the Scotties took a 7-3 semifinal win over Gloucester Institute of Technology and a 4-0 victory over RV. Emerging as Most Valuable Player was junior pitcher Bella Pisapia, who struck out all six batters she faced in relief against GCIT, and pitched a two-hitter (both bunts) with 13 strikeouts against the Red Devils. And as any softball fan knows, success starts in the circle. “She came into that final game lights out,” coach Nicole O’Leary said. “Against GCIT they started to get to our other pitcher in the top of the fifth. Bella came in—six batters, six strikeouts. We knew RV would be a tough game because they’re in our conference, and she just came in with full confidence. Her adrenaline was going and she was ready for it. She was hitting her spots, her speed was up, she was composed and she threw a great game.” Pisapia felt it was atonement for a sub-

par effort in a loss to RV last year. “That kind of got my confidence up,” she said. “Last year against RV I didn’t do too well so coming out and doing that against them this year helps me. It shows how much I’ve improved and stuff.” Much of that improvement came from the neck up. “I think it’s just confidence,” Pisapia said. “When I go out to the mound it’s just trusting myself, trusting my pitches, the pitch calling, the defense, kind of just going with what I’ve got.” She’s got a lot, as her arsenal of pitches include the fastball, change-up, drop, screwball, curve and rise ball. Making Pisapia even more effective is her ability to move the ball in or out, up and down. “She comes in quick but she has a change,” O’Leary said. “She’s an allaround pitcher with many different throws.” Pisapia started her career on the other side of the plate, as she began as a catcher in her first year of travel ball with the 8U Jersey Bandits. “I was a catcher for the longest time,” she said. “I actually thought I was going to catch instead of pitch. I started pitching when I was 10. I wasn’t good. I


couldn’t throw a strike.” Pisapia decided to take pitching lessons with former Steinert standout Jackie Sasko (now coaching at Georgian Court) at age 11. Two years later she moved on to Ralph Carrullo in Warminster, Pennsylvania, and is still with him. From ages 10 to 13, Pisapia both caught and pitched before finally focusing on pitching. “It was such a hard decision because I liked both so much,” she said. “But catching was just boring for me. As I started to progress in pitching I got worse in catching. It just happened. I kind of just fell in love with pitching. I like being in control, having the ball and dictating what happens.” Pisapia comes from an athletic family. Her father Dominick and uncle Marcello both played soccer for Steinert and her brother Dominick played soccer for the Scotties. She also has a younger brother. “They’re tough on me,” she said. “But it’s tough love.” Pisapiaa’s travel career has progressed nicely, going from the Bandits to the New Jersey Flames in Hazlet and now the New Jersey Pride in Fairfield. She played in several showcases with the Pride and has drawn interest from Division I schools. And while she understands that travel ball is a necessary evil if one hopes to play at the next level, Pisapia finds playing with the Scotties more entertaining. “I love high school ball, it’s my favorite time of the year,” she said. “You have something to play for. In travel you play for that scholarship, but it’s ver y ner ve wracking. High school can be ner ve wracking at times but you have a group of girls you go to school with and you have that championship to play for. A lot of us have played together. I played with Michaela (Luyber), Mackenza (Goleniecki), Bella (Marino).” As a freshman, Pisapia never saw the circle as Rider-bound Debra Jones had the position locked down. Her bat got her in the lineup, however, as she hit .362 with 18 runs scored. “She’s a pitcher first, but she’s a good offensive player so she’ll always be in the lineup,” O’Leary said. “She may see time in the outfield and at second base this year.” That’s just fine with Pisapia, who said, “I don’t care where I play on the field as long as I’m on the field. I like hitting. I think it’s the best thing about playing softball. It kind of keeps you in check. It’s a stress reliever, it calms me down sometimes. But I’m a pitcher first.” She proved that last year when she inherited the No. 1 pitcher’s job and went 11-9 with a 2.06 ERA and 184 strikeouts in 129 innings. She hit .306 with three doubles and 10 RBI. Not great, but not bad. “It definitely wasn’t my best,” Pisapia said. “I think pitching high school ball is a lot different than travel. You don’t play as many games in a week, so I think it was more kind of adjusting and getting used to that. Then again, I wasn’t feeling what I was doing wrong. I was always told in lessons ‘Hey you

(Photo by Rich Fisher.) need to do this with your curveball or do this with your rise.’ But now as a junior, being older I can feel certain things I’m doing wrong. Recently I’ve been recording myself and just tweaking everything I see wrong. So I guess that kind of helps me grow.” Through Bordentown’s 7-1 start this year (the loss coming in a rematch with RV), Pisapia was 4-1 with a 1.13 ERA and 64 strikeouts in 31 innings. She was batting .370 with two doubles, a triple, home run and five RBI. O’Leary sees a big difference in her hurler since freshman year. “She grows every year as a pitcher and a player,” the coach said. “That definitely helps us. That goes with age and time.” Pisapia has also become extremely focused on the rubber. “When Bella steps on the mound Bella is in her zone,” O’Leary said. “She is very composed but very driven in what she’s doing, which is a good thing. Sometimes a pitcher needs to block out the nonsense that could go on around her. But off the field she is definitely an outgoing person. She has a great personality; is very friendly with all of the girls She can be a leader and pump everybody up but she can also learn from our leaders and our captains.” Pisapia spreads that joyful personality all around, as she is a member of the BTHS Yearbook Committee, Faith Hope & Charity, Student Council and Homecoming Committee. She is piling up the activities to make her attractive to colleges beyond softball. “I’m still kind of looking around,” she said. “When I decide what to do then I can decide where I want to go. But I definitely want to go D-I for softball.” Judging by the interest she has received so far, that shouldn’t be a problem.
