Monthly event aims to help dementia patients and caregivers alike

Pollution from proposed hazardous waste plant could affect air in Ewing

By Michele AlPeRin As the director of Greenwood House senior living and care community, Donna Sobel has witnessed the ongoing struggles of people with dementia and their caregivers. As difficult as it is for the people suffering from memory impairment, for caregivers it can be even harder. “Usually people with dementia and their care partner get isolated,” Sobel says, due both to a memory-challenged individual’s difficulty performing everyday activities and “the stigma where people can feel embarrassed in a public situation.” Starting in July, Ewing-based Greenwood House will be cosponsoring Friend’s Circle: A Memory Café the second Tuesday of each month at Adath Israel Congregation in Lawrence. This free, nonsectarian café was developed by Sobel and is being conducted in collaboration with the Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Mercer County. According to the Alzheimer Association, today 16.1 million Americans care for people with Alzheimer’s and 5.7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s, a number that is See MEMORY, Page 8

EHS wins unified basketball title By Justin Feil The Ewing High School unified basketball team modeled the goal of Unified Sports on its way to a state championship win. The Blue Devils did well with the X’s and O’s, but something more made the difference. They overcame every obstacle and stuck together to hold off defending champion Moorestown, 36-31, for the NJSIAA state crown on March 17 at Rutgers. “When they got knocked down, they were picking each

other up,” said Ewing coach Katlin Doolan. “Not every team we saw was doing that.” Unified Sports were created to bring athletes of all abilities together, and the Blue Devils lived it start to finish this season. Doolan credits the championship to Ewing’s strengths. “Pretty much their enthusiasm and the communication and acceptance from day one between athletes and partners,” she said. “They were all the same playing field. You couldn’t tell from the way they socialized any difference between them. They were unified... Our team

understood what was expected of them and they worked together.” It was critical when the Blue Devils saw a 12-point fourthquarter lead erased by a late run by Moorestown to tie the game. Ewing did not let the run last. “Their attitudes were great,” Doolan said. “Moorestown almost came back to win. It was 31-31, and they got their heads back in it and did what they had to do to pull out the win.” Najiair Oliver led all scorers with 17 points. His two free throws See UNIFIED, Page 6

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.

T 609 520-0900 Since it was first published in 1983, Will my attorney be working on my case When a worker gets injured in the course www.pralaw.com 609 452-8796 Best Lawyers® has become universally or will it be handledFby paralegals? of his or her employment in New Jersey, that worker is entitled to compensation benefits consisting of medical treatment, wage replacement, and monies for any permanent injuries. Insurance companies do not always voluntarily pay what is owed. Therefore, an injured worker needs to file a formal Claim Petition and should seek the services of an experienced Certified Workers’ Compensation attorney. Issues to consider when hiring an attorney for a workers’ compensation case: Is the attorney a Certified Workers’ Compensation attorney? The Supreme Court of New Jersey has established a certification program designed to assist the consumer in making an informed selection of counsel. In New Jersey there are only 121 attorneys that have demonstrated sufficient levels of experience, education, and knowledge in the practice of workers’ compensation law to receive this certification. Pellettieri Rabstein & Altman has attorneys that have been certified by the New Jersey Board on Attorney Certification by the New Jersey Supreme Court. What is the attorney’s reputation in the community and among his/her peers? An injured worker wants to know that his/ her claim is being handled by an attorney who is well respected by the community, as well as by other workers’ compensation attorneys and the judge who will preside over the case. Attorneys in the Workers’ Compensation department at PR&A have consistently been designated as Best Lawyers®. 2Ewing Obser ver | May 2019

regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence because their lists are based on peer-review evaluation.1

Less than 2% of the almost 98,000 lawyers in the State of New Jersey receive this designation and there are only 19 recipients in the field of Workers’ Compensation Law – Claimants (i.e. representing workers). For years, Pellettieri Rabstein & Altman has been ranked and continues to be ranked in the 2019 U.S. News - Best Lawyers® "Best Law Firms" list. Law firms on the "Best Law Firms" list are recognized for professional excellence with persistently impressive ratings from clients and peers.2 A client may engage a workers’ compensation attorney at Pellettieri Rabstein & Altman that holds an AV Preeminent Ratings from MartindaleHubbell. Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ recognize lawyers for their strong legal ability and high ethical standards.3 Only an elite group of approximately 10 percent of all attorneys holds an AV Preeminent Rating. The Chairman of the Workers’ Compensation department, Gary Adams, is respected locally, regionally, and nationally as a leading attorney in this specialized field. He has been included in the lists of Best Lawyers®, Super Lawyers® and he is rated AV by Martindale-Hubbell, the highest attorney rating given by that organization. He is also the immediate past chair of the New Jersey State Bar Association Workers’ Compensation Section. He is a Senior Vice President of the New Jersey Advisory Council on Safety and Health (COSH).

A client needs to be reassured that his claim is being handled by the attorney with the training, experience, skills and reputation in the area of workers’ compensation law. At Pellettieri, Rabstein and Altman, a client will meet directly with the attorney at initial consultation and in advance of any court proceedings. The attorney will return phone calls, answer questions, and answer e-mails. While paralegals assist the attorney in handling the case, every case is overseen by an attorney. What will my lawyer charge for handling my workers’ compensation case? In New Jersey, the fees in a workers’ compensation case are set by the Workers’ Compensation Judge. The Judge may award a contingent attorney fee of up to 20% of the amount recovered on a client’s claim, and that is the amount that is typically awarded. At Pellettieri, Rabstein, and Altman there is no upfront fee for consulting with a workers’ compensation attorney regarding a work injury. All fees are a contingent fee set by the Judge based on obtaining a positive result. Fees are the same for any workers’ compensation attorney you hire, therefore you want to hire the most capable attorney – one who can maximize your recovery. ** No aspect of this advertisement has been approved by the Supreme Court of New Jersey. 1 www.bestlawyers.com/methodology 2 https://bestlawfirms.usnews.com/methodology.aspx 3 www.martindale.com/ratings-and-reviews

NAMI Mercer is partnering with the County in its Stigma Free Mercer initiative, launched by County Executive Brian Hughes in May 2018. Together, they are committed to eliminating the shame and blame associated with mental illness so that those in need will seek treatment and be able to live healthy and productive lives. The spring walk-a-thon is Mercer County’s biggest anti-stigma event and NAMI Mercer’s greatest fundraiser. Organizers say over the past 11 years, the event has brought in more than $1 million in individual and corporate donations. The NAMI Mercer Walk on May 5 will feature a wellness fair, where local vendors and organizations will provide onsite health and wellness information and services to Walk participants. Additionally, there will be fun activities for kids, including games, crafts projects, a robotics demonstration, and a chance to meet Trenton Thunder Mascot Boomer and costumed actors from the NJ Renaissance Faire. Free snacks and drinks will be available throughout the event.

What’s going on with expansion at the Trenton-Mercer Airport? From time to time Ewing Mayor Bert Steinmann answers questions posed by readers or members of the Ewing Observer’s staff. This month, the mayor answers questions posed during a recent interview between Steinmann and editor Bill Sanservino. The Trenton-Mercer Airport is undergoing some expansion, which has some residents living near the airport a bit concerned. What can you tell us about what the county is doing there, and how does it impact the town? The expansion there is only to the terminal. It has nothing to do with the airport or runways. How does it affect Ewing Township? Basically, it brings more job opportunities for our citizens, because there are going to be some businesses that will be located in there (the expanded terminal). I don’t want to speculate too much. Right now there’s a restaurant in there and a car rental place. That may expand to something else. A gift shop, or things like that. With the expansion of the terminal, there’s also opportunities for other airlines to say, “Hey, we want to come to Ewing.” That helps us and the economy for business owners, because there will be calls for service to that particular airline. There are some people complaining about air traffic, and they have some legitimate concerns. But it’s nothing different when other carriers, who eventually failed, were flying out of here. I think the biggest concern people were talking about was the expansion at the airport. They thought that meant they were going to expand the runway or going to have bigger jets flying in here. Or they were going to be going

There was a second airline, Allegiant Air, that recently operated out of the airport, but only for a short period of time. What happened with them? Yes, Alliegiant was only here for a short time, but they really had no plan. They were already on the brink of failure before they even got here. And when they did get here, there were problems with the flights. If they were scheduled to take off at 11 a.m., sometimes they’d sit at the gate until 1 p.m. until they took off. So there was really no rhyme or reasons on why you’d even want to fly them. Sure it was somewhat cheaper, but I don’t think they were all that much cheaper. % you have a question for the mayor for 0If0 1next month’s edition, submit it by emailing bsanservino@communitynews.org.

UNIFIED continued from Page 1 in the final minute helped to seal the Blue Devils win. They had gotten off to a good start to lead by 3 points at halftime and built on that lead over the second half until Moorestown rallied. “The keys for us were our rebounding,” Doolan said. “It was very strong. Najiair and Khyon Wilkins were dominating the rebounds. Our 3-point shooting was on point.” The co-ed team consisted of seven boys and one girl: Yohance Adams, Alex Davis, Asante Evans, Oshan Foreman, Marquis Moore, Oliver, Zachary Whyte, Wilkins; plus coaches Matt Lynch, Barbara Garcia and Doolan. “It was definitely the high point of my career,” said Doolan, who is in her second year teaching in Ewing as a health and physical education teacher. “I was speechless. I was probably more excited than my kids. My students with intelligent disabilities have broken down so many setbacks and overcome those to play in a state championship game, it was a remarkable situation to be a part of. I’m so glad I was able to be a part of it and be a part of coaching such a fantastic group of boys and girls.” Doolan extended the unified efforts of Ewing to the administration and teachers that helped to get the team going. There was some question about them even being able to field a unified basketball team. “Coming into the year, to be honest, we weren’t sure what was going to happen,” Doolan said. “Two years ago, before I got here, they had a unified basketball team that had to forfeit the tournament because they couldn’t get the commitment from the kids. Last year, we put together a team with strong partners and we won the Shriver Cup for Special Olympics. They pushed us to go into the NJSIAA this year.” Ewing Dental It wasn’tAssociates a definite it could happen because to enter NJSIAA play, there are 177certain Scotch Road standards.

road blocks to assembling teams. “We thought we weren’t going to have a team,” Doolan said. “With help from our administrators, we were able to get MedFest to get all of our students physicals.” The opportunity to play together is what is most valuable to Ewing educators. They have been supporting the Unified Sports program and trying to build up the program and chances for students. “It’s great to be a champion, but the bigger part of this whole thing is the experience the kids are getting and becoming friends that during the regular school day they might not have had class with or even been introduced to any other time,” said Ewing athletic director Bud Kowal. Ewing had come together last year to take the Shriver Cup, but that didn’t guarantee anything for this year. “A lot of our partners moved on and graduated or had other setbacks and couldn’t play this year,” Doolan said. “We lost three partners and two of our better athletes. We formed a brand-new team.” Ewing had to finish up unified soccer before it started to focus on building this year’s basketball team. They practiced once per week and played just four regular-season games. But they got plenty of tournament action with three games in a seeding tournament at Moorestown on Feb. 23. They beat Hamilton West, a team that had defeated them earlier in the year, Moorestown and Burlington City. That set them up for the state tournament, where they topped Trenton and then advanced to the championship game with a 40-22 win over Union City. That sent them onto the biggest stage in the state where they added to Ewing’s basketball tradition. “We’ve been there at that high level for our boys’ program, and last year our girls lost in the state final by one point,” Kowal said. “To win with the unified team, it’s kind of neat.

had all three teams at that state championship level.” Kowal says he is thrilled to see more opportunities opening up for unified athletes. Basketball is only in its second year being recognized by the state. “NJSIAA is just starting to have events under the unified banner,” Kowal said. “This is one of the first that they’ve done. Last year or two years ago, they did track as part of the Meet of Champions. They did bowling this year and basketball.” Doolan said she sees first-hand in class the benefits of students of all intellectual abilities working together. It helps to build the foundation for success on the basketball court. “I teach adaptive P.E. and unified P.E.,” Doolan said. “Adaptive is working with students from the autism and life skills programs and some multiple disabled kids. At the high school, we created a unified P.E., and it has students from life skills and autism and partners from general education take it as a general elective. “Between Dave (Angebranndt, health and physical education teacher) and I, we have 35 kids. The kids are socializing and building friendships through it. We started unified physical education at a young age, in elementary school, so now kids are being exposed to the unified mentality and the mission of it at a young age.” The physical education class is a tool to help promote understanding and inclusion in Ewing. The class fits in with the message that is being promoted.

“It’s like a first step for a lot of our kids,” Kowal said. “It’s a class in high demand. Kids really are looking to try to get into that class. That as much as anything has been a big help. It’s during the school day, and it allows kids that are athletes to be involved in that program as well as non-athletes.” The Ewing school community recognized the achievements of the unified basketball team with a pep rally following the championship win. They are working on getting the players rings, and each will get a varsity letter to go with an outpouring of support. “We’ve heard from a lot of teachers and administrators,” Doolan said. “They’re going up to the students and saying congratulations. There have been a lot of emails sent to staff. From two years ago barely fielding a team, to last year’s Shriver Cup and then winning the championship, it’s been nice.” Winning and title and doing it with such a cohesive effort will help going forward. Only Adams and Oliver will graduate from this year’s unified basketball team, and Ewing doesn’t anticipate having the numbers or commitment issues that hampered it years ago. “Winning a championship, I don’t think we’ll have problems finding kids who want to play,” Doolan said. “Even when we were just starting, other kids see it and they want to get involved. They might not play on the high school team, but they see the unified team where they feel accepted for their abilities and can play.”

have a really great impact.” For Adler, it was logical for Adath Israel Congregation to provide space for the monthly café, because they already partner host other community programs for seniors. Members of Adath Israel often volunteer at senior programs, helping with set up and serving, and during summers or school breaks students sometimes join in. “We have built up these partnerships on senior programming,” Adler says, so the memory café “was a natural fit. We are happy to be a community hub for seniors in this area.” Sobel already has two artists scheduled. Courtney Colletti, a guitarist who performs for Greenwood House residents, will lead singing at the July launch. In September, Barbara Dilorenzo, author and illustrator of Renato the Lion and a teacher at the Arts Council of Princeton, will lead an arts and crafts activity. Sobel is happy to be collaborating with the Jewish Family & Children’s Service, which will provide resource information for café attendees, address any concerns related to social services, and assist with volunteer training. Collaborating with similar agencies is not only a way to share the tasks entailed in the creation of a new program, Sobel says, but “it also broadens the connection we have with the community.” As she has developed Friend’s Circle, Sobel has consulted with the Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer’s New Jersey, and the Mercer County Office on Aging.

Sobel maintains that memory cafés are a step toward developing dementiafriendly communities. More acceptance by the broader society is needed “so that individuals with memory challenges and their families do not become outcasts and do not become isolated. More education and awareness in all communities is needed.” Although the memory café will have a resource table and representatives from Greenwood House and Jewish Family and Children’s Service available to anyone seeking more information, the café itself is not a support group and will include no open discussion about illness or memory—although it does give caregivers the opportunity to relate to other people with similar challenges. A memory café is a place for people with memory impairment and their caregivers to have fun together. Sobel sees the memory café as being in line with the Alzheimer’s Association’s efforts “to get communities to become more dementia friendly so these people are not isolated.” Isolation, she says, causes more medical issues and can mean that people lack the resources they need. “People with dementia should still be able to have joy in their lives, and staying at home and being isolated is not going to do that.” Although the café is free, preregistration is required.

We have 3,517 items on our to-do list. Fire protection is an integral part of our mission. In May, we will begin our annual hydrant inspection and testing program to make sure that the 3,517 fire hydrants in our five-municipality service area operate properly and produce adequate pressure and water flow—typically 500-775 gallons per minute (GPM)—to fight fires. Also, in the first half of 2020 we will be launching TWW's Water-Main Cleaning and Lining Program to improve water quality and increase water pressure. We are committed to better hydrant performance and overall water-distribution-system reliability.

And, we’re on it.

TOXIC continued from Page 1 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-squarefoot 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 mateOME BY FAMILY SIZE ME BY FAMILY SIZErial into four parts: sludge, salt, distilled water and volatile organic compound INCOME MODERATEvapors.

HEAVIEST AIR POLLUTION IMPACT Proposed Elcon Plant Location

Tracking air pollution is very complex, but the general rule is pollution affects a 30-mile radius from the source. With the prevailing wind going west to east, Much of the state could suffer the bulk of the effects from the proposed Elcon toxic waste facility. (Graphic by Stacey Micallef.) 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 mil-

lions 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 Lalor Elementary School in Hamilton 2.1 miles away, Wilson Elementary School just under three miles away, and 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 See TOXIC, Page 12

rounding 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

TOXIC continued from Page 11 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 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 sur-

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 ground-level ozone. Also known as smog, ground-level 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 Ewing Observer 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 rep-

resented 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

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 Mercer County and could impact air quality in the area. (Staff photo by Samantha Sciarrotta.) 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 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 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.

TOXIC continued from Page 13 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, 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.” ***

The Philadelphia Water Department wrote that the Elcon facility should be rejected ‘given the risk of multiple-day contamination’ to the local drinking water supply.

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. Then, the PADEP review of Elcon’s Phase II applications ends in May, triggering 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 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 a number 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.” 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.”

We’re replacing lead water-service lines.

You’ve asked, "What should I do?" Here are some answers. Trenton Water Works is launching a $15 million capital project to replace lead and galvanized steel water-service lines in our system with our Lead Service Line Replacement Program. If your home was built before 1988, you should check the pipe connected to the water meter in your home to see if it is made of lead or galvanized steel (which also contains lead), materials that were widely used before they were banned. To learn how to identify your water meter and the pipe material connected to it, please go to twwleadprogram.com. If your home was built after 1988, it does not have a lead or galvanized steel water-service line. If you need additional assistance, please call our Lead Service Line Replacement Program hotline at (609) 989-3600.

Controversy surrounds proposed ELSA solar plant By Rob Anthes

ranthes@communitynews.org

The Ewing-Lawrence Sewerage Authority officials probably thought a good deal had fallen into their laps when a vendor approached them in 2015 about installing a cost-saving solar farm to power their facility in Lawrence Township. But the project has set off a battle that has spanned multiple years and government boards, and has ramifications for residents in three Mercer County municipalities. The proposed solar farm has touched a nerve in particular with its neighbors in Hamilton’s Cornell Heights development and, counterintuitively, with environmentalists, who have said the project would worsen an already-bad flooding problem in the area. The developer is currently considering its next step—including taking the township to court. At the center of the issue is 40 acres of heavily wooded land on Sweet Briar Avenue, technically located in Hamilton Township but adjacent to the ELSA plant in Lawrence. The vendor, Synnergy LLC, proposes to remove 820 large trees from 12 acres of the property to make room for a solar farm. State law says solar farms must be on or adjacent to the facilities they serve, and Synnergy company officer Steve Durst said the land on Sweet Briar Avenue was the only candidate that fit the criteria. ELSA has room on its own property to fit

The Ewing-Lawrence Sewerage Authority is embroiled in a multi-year battle centered on a proposed solar farm with plans to be built in Hamilton. (Staff photo by Bill Sanser vino.) only 10 percent of the panels needed to make the project viable. “It’s really not an option,” Durst said. He said the solar panels would save ELSA as much as $300,000 per year in the cost of electric power, savings that could potentially reach ratepayers in ELSA’s service area of Ewing and Lawrence townships. The solar farm would also reduce ELSA’s carbon emissions by 2,500 metric tons per year, Durst said. Synnergy applied for New Jersey Department of Environmental Protec-

tion approval in 2015, receiving approvals three years later, on Feb. 7, 2018. With the go-ahead from DEP, Synnergy filed with Hamilton Township the last week of March 2018. And that’s where the conflict started. Residents in Cornell Heights and environmentalists from Delaware Riverkeeper Network immediately raised concerns, particularly with the plan to remove hundreds of large trees in an area that has suffered from flooding for years. For backing, they pointed to a Hamilton

Township ordinance that says the township can approve applications involving the removal of trees only if the removal would have a minor impact on the surrounding area. “Clearly, it’s a major impact,” said Fred Stine, citizen action coordinator with Delaware Riverkeeper Network. “It will make flooding in that area worse.” Tammy Duffy lives across the street from the proposed site on Sweet Briar Avenue, and she said she has witnessed two 100-year floods in the area in the past 10 years. A 100-year flood is a flood that has a 1-percent chance of occurring in any given year, according to Federal Emergency Management Agency definitions. “It’s scary when that happens,” Duffy said. “You work hard your whole life to buy a house. I’ve been here 18 years. I don’t want to see it get destroyed.” Hurricane Irene in 2011 was particularly bad, with homes on three streets in Cornell Heights sustaining major damage from flooding, former Hamilton councilman Dennis Pone said. Pone has long been a vocal advocate for Cornell Heights, and even rode his activism on behalf of his neighborhood to a seat on the township council, where he served from 2006 until 2018. Surrounded by Assunpink Creek and Miry Run, Cornell Heights has long coexisted with water. But Pone traces the origins of the flooding issue to the construction of The Crossings, a high-density

housing development built on formerly forested land near the Hamilton train station. He said retention basins at Crossings—built for flood prevention—have failed repeatedly. Synnergy has offered to build similar basins around the solar farm to ease concerns, but residents have rejected the gesture, not believing the basins would work. Pone said one neighbor has lived on Trinity Avenue for 50 years, and never had an issue before The Crossings were built. She now has water in her basement whenever it rains. Synnergy argues the project would not cause flooding, but Pone said he can’t understand how that could be true. With Cornell Heights sandwiched between The Crossings and the proposed solar farm site, Pone worries how bad the flooding could get if hundreds of trees are removed on Sweet Briar Avenue. One large tree can drink 100 gallons of water per day, according to North Carolina State University’s Department of Horticultural Science. “That’s what scares us most,” Pone said. “That’s the biggest help to a floodprone area, large trees.” Meanwhile, the federal government has watched the back-and-forth with interest, with both Rep. Chris Smith (R-Hamilton) and the United States Army Corps of Engineers having been involved for years with flood mitigation efforts in the area. “[Smith] personally took FEMA officials through the Whitehead and Cornell Heights neighborhood after Hurricane Irene hit in 2011,” a statement from Smith’s office said. “He met with the nei ghbors and walked through their flooded

After helping to get federal aid for recovery, Congressman Smith later asked the Corps to look for a way to help reduce the flooding.” USACE wound up including the Assunpink Creek into a larger project studying the Delaware River. That led to a $500,000 study, paid for by USACE and NJDEP, of how water flows through the area. The study started in late 2014, with the state recently completing its part. USACE plans to complete a list of suggestions this year, Smith’s office said. USACE’s Terry Fowler, who manages the Assunpink project, said the study continues to focus on flooding issues and potential flood risk management measures related to the main stem Assunpink Creek and tributaries in Hamilton, Lawrence and Trenton.

“Like all other development in the floodplain, if the solar farm is constructed it will be part of the existing conditions that we take into consideration during our study,” Fowler wrote in an email. Smith’s office struck a similarly balanced tone, saying Smith would “listen, gather information and see if there is any way” he could help everyone involved. An everybody-wins solution seems unlikely now, though. Cornell Heights residents have packed several Hamilton planning board meetings and a township council meeting. Their efforts are directly responsible for the solar farm’s uncertain status. A land use attorney secured by the Delaware Riverkeeper Network argued in late February that township zoning does not permit a solar farm off Sweetbriar Avenue,

and said the project had to instead seek a variance from Hamilton’s zoning board. The planning and zoning attorneys considered the argument for several weeks in March, eventually agreeing that the application should be heard by the zoning board. At its March 28 meeting, the township planning board took the attorneys’ recommendation, pushing the application to the zoning board. The process now essentially starts over, with the township planning office saying the developer would have to resubmit the application in order to get on the zoning board agenda. The plan’s opponents celebrated the decision, particularly because they believe it will make approval less likely. The application would require a two-third majority in order to be approved by the zoning board. It only would have needed a simple majority from the planning board. Synnergy and ELSA have been left to regroup. They have four options: resubmit the application to Hamilton’s zoning board and start from scratch, request the zoning board pick up where planning left off, pursue legal action or simply pull the project. Durst said he hopes everything is resolved properly and peacefully, adding that he doesn’t “ waste time in litigation” unless he’s certain law has been misapplied. Durst met with the ELSA board April 16 to explain “the situation and how we got there.” The project, at the moment, is in a holding pattern. “The status remains as it is,” Durst said April 16. “That’s probably going to be the case for at least a couple weeks more.”

Your child is safe with us! That motto defines the mission of the B&W Kids Academy to provide a safe, supportive and stimulating learning environment for children from six weeks to 13 years of age. The center, opened in January, in Ewing, provides a secure environment via a top-notch security system that carefully vets anyone coming on the premises. A licensed practical nurse is on site during school hours. She handles emergencies, teaches good health habits and hygiene, works with infants to develop motor skills, monitors the playground and keeps careful records of illnesses, immunizations and each child’s progress. These services are designed to protect kids, teachers and parents, according to the school’s director, Wanda D. Lattimer. However, at B&W Kids Academy, safety goes beyond the concerns for a child’s physical wellbeing. “Emotional security is equally important,” says Wanda. “Our goal is to provide a dynamic, nurturing environment that gives children skills that will prepare them for kindergarten and give them selfconfidence and security.” This holistic approach embraces not just the whole child but the whole family. “We want to be a resource for the parents,” Wanda asserts. B&W plans to collaborate with other organizations to offer workshops in parenting, healthcare and literacy. The center’s involvement with family embraces the community at large, with special events open to the public. A recent Easter Egg Hunt drew about 100 kids and parents from around Ewing. A lifelong resident of Ewing, Wanda dreamed of becoming a teacher and of opening a day care center. Those dreams took shape

at Hollowbrook Community Center, that Wanda attended as a child and later as a teenage volunteer. Inspired by the staff at Hollowbrook, she earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education and Special Education and taught in the Lawrenceville School District for 16 years. This exceptional background enabled Wanda to create a curriculum that allows young children to develop the skills needed to enter Kindergarten in the Ewing Township public schools, while assessing each child’s potential and fostering individual strengths. Based on the latest research on early childhood learning, the curriculum includes tutorial programs, consultants specializing in education and language, linkage to community and state colleges and recreational activities. When New Jersey passed legislation mandating day care for preschoolers in 2016, Wanda began the process of applying for licensing and learning the detailed requirements for establishing a day care center. She attended state-sponsored workshops on safety requirements, staffing ratios, curriculum, and building and health department inspections. “The workshops were great,” she notes, and very helpful in dealing with the extensive paperwork required. Today, the facility is fully licensed and family owned. Wanda’s greatest support comes from her husband, Eric Lattimer, and her family who share her commitment to the community. The name honors her two sisters, brother and dad, while various rooms bear the names of beloved family members. B&W Kids Academy, 1640 Pennington Road. (609) 493-5533. bwkidsacademy.com

Due to budget restraints NO Summer School Programs will be offered by the Ewing Public Schools during the Summer of 2005. EHS Rotary Club members took time out of their spring break to present on community service projects to the local Trenton Rotary Club chapter.

The Ewing Public Schools How Do You Keep Rabbits Out of the Garden? Ms. Spagnuolo’s preschoolers are excited for spring and combined a springtime STEM activity with the song, “Mr. Rabbit”, from Music for the Very Young. This musical program is presented weekly to preschoolers by Trenton Music Makers. Ms. Spagnuolo read Muncha! Muncha! Muncha! by Candace Fleming to students who enjoyed hearing how three clever rabbits were able to climb fences, dig under walls and swim through trenches to muncha, muncha, muncha vegetables in a garden. Students then listened to “Mr. Rabbit” and planted a pretend garden full of vegetables any rabbit would love. Ms. Spagnuolo let loose a wind-up Mr. Rabbit who got right into the garden. The class brainstormed different ways to prevent Mr. Rabbit from coming back, including building a wall. Students were given Legos to build different shaped walls and considered: would the tallest or longest wall keep Mr. Rabbit out of the garden? Students discovered a long wall kept Mr. Rabbit out of their garden best.

8th Grade County Day of Dialogue

Fisher Middle School 8th Grader Lina Abtouche represented the Ewing Schools at the third annual 8th Grade Day of Dialogue on April 1st held at Lawrence High School and sponsored by the Mercer County School Boards Association. School Board members and administrators from around Mercer County attended the event, devoted to giving officials a better understanding of student needs and issues as they transition into high school. Eighth graders from schools around the county participated in a panel discussion on topics such as academic pressure, the value of extracurricular activities, and college preparation. “Lina was an outstanding ambassador of Fisher and the Ewing Public Schools,” Assistant Superintendent Dr. Danita Ishibashi remarked. “We are very appreciative of her efforts in representing our district, and she demonstrated poise and confidence throughout the event.”

At Antheil students love to read and be good friends to each other! Ms. Kaufman’s class recently read the story Wishes Not Weeds. This story is about two bunnies who are always looking for the good in each day. Students from Ms. Kaufman’s class have been working hard on making good choices and being kind friends. After reading this story, the students decided to make wishes of their own and blow dandelion seeds to make sure they come true! Check out the Antheil student’s wishes!

Parkway Showered with Events During the month of April, Parkway School was hopping with many events and partnerships. In addition to our after school Environmental Club, our school-wide Title 1 STEM efforts included a first annual Coding Night. Over forty students and their families participated in hands on activities that introduced student to early coding activities. Students enjoyed creating binary bracelets and using Bebots in order to increase their technology skills. “Literacy Alive”; a reading based event co-sponsored with Kappa Delta from The College of New Jersey, spent a morning with 1st and 2nd grade students and worked with them at stations where the overall theme was learning about the environment. Every student left the event with a gently used book donated by the membership of Kappa Delta and Parkway School’s Book Exchange Program. Rashad Davis, author of “Carefree Like Me” and “Sunne’s Gift” visited PES and conducted workshops with the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students on the process of creating, writing and publishing a book. Rider University Women’s Soccer team visited 4th grade students and were able to ask the players questions about being a college athlete and participated in mini soccer drills. Parkway ended the month with a “I Like to Move It, Move It” challenge. Students participated in a 30-minute cardio and wellness challenge and earned pledges to help fund the improvement projects of the courtyard/outdoor classroom.

The Ewing Public Schools Antheil Teacher Receives Award

This year at the International Technology and Engineering Educator's Association Conference, Antheil Elementary School’s Technology Teacher, Joanna Papadopoulos was awarded the 2019 Technology and Engineering Teacher Excellence Award for New Jersey. The Teacher Excellence Award is one of the highest honors given to technology and engineering education classroom teachers and is presented in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the profession and their students. She was also selected as a 21st Century Leadership Academy Fellow for the Class of 2020 and was awarded the Epsilon Pi Tau Warner Graduate Research Award - Region 1 for 2019.

OBA Artwork on Display at Artsonia “Artsonia is the world’s largest collection of student art, published by teachers and students from around the world. Parents and family can view the art online, leave comments and order keepsakes featuring the artwork.” At The O’Brien Academy, Ms. Osborne uses this program to display each student’s artwork in an online portfolio. Students’ families, even those who live far away, as well as the public, can view these portfolios and leave positive, uplifting comments for the students to see. This helps the students to feel successful and confident in their art abilities. All you have to do is search the name of the school, and you’re able to see all the projects completed by students that year! Another really cool aspect of Artsonia is that family members or friends can purchase merchandise with images of their student’s art on it! Twenty percent of the profits from merchandise sales go towards art supplies and other engaging activities for OBA students to complete during art class or reward period at the end of the day. Please support the art program at The O’Brien Academy by visiting our Artsonia page and checking out all the awesome work our students are creating!

Senior Spotlight: Meet Jeorjet Reyes What do you like best about EHS? What I like about Ewing High School is that there is a sense of camaraderie throughout the school. Since EHS has a small population and is so diverse, it makes it easier for everyone to get to know each other and be comfortable around one another. Who is your favorite teacher and why? My favorite teachers are Ms. Chiavuzzo and Ms. Bailey-Williams. Not only are they great educators, but they are amazing mentors and role models. They have helped me build my self-confidence and have helped me believe that I am truly capable of achieving my goals. In which activities do you participate? I have been a member of the Rotary Interact Club throughout my four years of high school, and I have been the President of the club my junior and senior year. I am also an active member of the National Honor Society.

Lore Students Celebrate Read Across America Week The students at Lore Elementary School celebrated Dr. Seuss’ birthday in a big way! This year, every student and staff member throughout the building participated in a whole school Drop Everything And Read (DEAR) period. Every student, teacher, counselor, and staff member brought a favorite book to school and sat quietly in the hallway, enjoying some time silently reading. Our younger readers spent time reading independently and discussing their favorite books, while our older readers read a book of their choice. As we prepare for the school year to end and the summer to arrive, it is important to remember what Dr. Seuss said years ago, “You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.” Happy reading!

Who or what has impacted your life in a positive way? The work of Bryan Stevenson and his novel Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption has made a huge impact on my life. He has reassured me that my dream of becoming a civil rights attorney is possible and necessary. Stevenson founded the Equal Justice Initiative and his novel addresses the corruption that exists within policing, courts, and corrections. Stevenson inspires me to pursue my dreams so one day I can prevent the innocent from being cheated by the criminal justice system. How do you define success? I define success as never giving up on your dreams and attaining the goals that you have set for yourself. What are your plans after you graduate? I plan on majoring in political science at either Seton Hall University or University of Massachusetts Amherst in pursuit of a career as a civil rights attorney in the future. What is your favorite quote? “It’s not where you stand, but the direction you’re going in. Remember to live just one day and not add tomorrow’s troubles to today’s load.” by Vickie M. Worsham

Eagle Café Students in the Fisher Middle School Life Skills program put their cooking skills to the test by cooking soup and preparing salad for the staff members at both Fisher and OBA. Students learned how to read and follow recipes, measure out ingredients, cut and peel vegetables and complete orders by identifying which type of soup each customer wanted, salad dressing and more. During each lunch period, students would deliver the staff members their lunches. The Eagle's Café Soup and Salad business was a tremendous success! The students’ confidence in their cooking skills grew each week and it was fun watching students try new things and grow as learners. The Eagle's Café isn't done yet, we are hoping to tackle making sandwiches in May.

TWW is meeting federal and state water-quality standards. We are pleased to report that our Disinfection Byproducts Reduction Plan, launched in the second half of 2018, has significantly reduced the levels of Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs), specifically Haloacetic Acids (HAA5s) and Trihalomethanes (TTHMs), in our drinking water. The levels—16.4 and 23.2 micrograms per liter (ug/L) respectively—are now below state and federal Safe Drinking Water Act standards, which are 60 micrograms per liter for HAA5s and 80 micrograms per liter for TTHMs. Take a look at our sampling data from February 2018-2019. We are maintaining water quality, strengthening our day-to-day operations and advancing important capital projects: rolling out our corrosion-control project and our Lead Service Line Replacement Program, which replaces the lead or galvanized water service lines at private residences with safer copper lines. And, we are finalizing the hiring of new customer service representatives to eliminate long hold times for our customers. Water-quality excellence. It’s our sole purpose.

Nneka Ezeigbo runs with the ball during Robert Morris University’s 65-54 NEC Tournament tournament win against Saint Francis on March 17, 2018.

By Justin Feil Nneka Ezeigbo’s third season with the Robert Morris University women’s basketball team began with her sporting long red braids last November. The 6-foot-2 Ewing product’s hair tends to stand out as much as her game. “I made hair colors my thing,” Ezeigbo said. “During the season, I’d switch it up. Whatever my teammates felt like me doing next, I’d switch my hair up. It all started last year with a bold color. I think it was a pink and purplish. After that, I thought, ‘I like this.’ And decided I’d start putting colors in my hair, and everyone liked it.” The junior center does her own hair. By February she had opted for a vibrant orange that RMU head coach Charlie Buscaglia compared to the old Tampa Bay Buccaneers uniforms. And when the Northeast Conference Tournament began, she went back to black, albeit with differently styled braids. “As a coach you get used to it,” Buscaglia said. “Whatever color she comes out with, it doesn’t take me away anymore because it’s kind of a staple for her.” Buscaglia is thrilled to see that Ezeigbo’s basketball skills have become a lot more consistent than her hair styles. She was honored this year as the NEC Defensive Player of the Year and also earned Most Valuable Player honors in the NEC tournament after helping lead the Colonials to a 65-54 tournament win against Saint Francis on March 17.

By winning, the team earned its second NCAA tournament appearance in her three years there. The team went on to lose to Louisville, 69-34, in the first round on March 22. “I had no idea I was going to get Defensive Player of the Year,” Ezeigbo said. “It was really nice to be recognized and be appreciated for the hard work that I’ve been doing. I feel like I’ve earned everything I’ve gotten.” Ezeigbo helped RMU go 22-11 overall and 16-2 in the NEC. She led the Colonials with career-high averages of 12.5 points and 7.8 rebounds per game. She was named first-team All-NEC this year after making the All-Rookie team her first year and the second team last year. After attending Incarnation-St. James in Ewing, Ezeigbo played her high school basketball down the street at Notre Dame High School. She also played AAU for the New Jersey Cardinals, and drew the eye of Buscaglia and his staff early in high school. “I saw a lot of potential,” Buscaglia said. “That was the real key with Nneka. She has great physical size. She’s very physically strong. She also did some things that you could see some flashes of something to really work with offensively and defensively.” “She was very raw though when it came to being someone you could go to at first,” Buscaglia said. Ezeigbo has grown significantly in her three years at RMU. It’s not just her hair that has changed, and it’s not just in

We are very proud of how much she has developed and how much she will continue to develop, not just on the court, but off the court in the classroom.” Ezeigbo went from being a nursing major to being a psychology major, and she earned a 4.0 GPA in the fall semester. She is hoping to eventually get her master’s and work as a substance abuse counselor. “I was telling my teammates that honestly next year I’d be fine being done (playing) after I graduate,” Ezeigbo said. “But if I get an offer to play overseas, I wouldn’t mind playing for a couple years and then getting my master’s.” Ezeigbo has been developing all aspects of her game since arriving at the Pittsburgh-area school. Her honors and awards are a tribute to her work ethic and improvements. “Defense wasn’t always one of the strengths in my game,” Ezeigbo said. “A lot of things I did this year were things I was trying to do since freshman year. The moment I stepped in the door they were telling me things I had to do. I took it more to heart and pushed myself to do things I wasn’t comfortable with. Being outside my comfort zone has obviously helped me a lot in the defensive aspect of things.” She said that charges were not a part of her game before she came to RMU. “I honestly did not know how to take one my freshman year. That’s something that has definitely developed and has helped my game.” Ezeigbo made an immediate impact at RMU. She played in 33 games as a freshman and started 10 times while averaging 6.8 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. As a sophomore, she didn’t start any games but her minutes went up slightly and her points and rebounds per game increased to 10.5 and 7.0 respectively. Buscaglia often fielded questions about why she didn’t start last year. “Early on in her career, it was the inconsistency,” he said. “She’d have

games where she’d put up good numbers and they’d average out to be a great number, but then she had a lot of moments when she struggled to handle adversity and things we value so much in the program.” Ezeigbo impressed in the NEC and during the first round of the NCAA tournament in the Louisville loss. She came a point and rebound away from a double-double with nine points and nine rebounds against Louisville, and scored back-to-back baskets to open the NCAA tournament. “It was a great experience,” Ezeigbo said. “It always feels good to be able to play teams of such a high level. Being able to play against true post players that go back to the basket, that’s a challenge, but it’s something I enjoy doing because it’s something that I do. Playing against somebody else that does things that I do at a higher level is really fun for me.” Her offseason work and dedication in practices, video study sessions and workouts helped Ezeigbo become a more polished player. She returned with two years of experience and felt like a new player this season. “I feel like I have a lot more confidence this year,” Ezeigbo said. “A lot of that came from my team. They always had my back. They were always encouraging me and that helped a lot. Also being more emotionally stable on the court. A lot of times when I’d get frustrated, it affected my game. Being able to take a step back and think about my mistakes and then not let it affect the next play helped me a lot in my game this year.” Ezeigbo is looking forward to another year of college basketball. She will return to Ewing for six weeks over the summer before returning to RMU motivated by some important goals. “We want to have a better start to the season pre-conference and have that carry into the conference and then our goal is to always get another ring,” Ezeigbo said. “And being able to instill our principles and values into the freshmen as a senior and being there for them and working hard all the time for my team.” Ezeigbo will be counted on to be a strong leader next year. She’s already serving as a leader because of her example. “She wasn’t just a leader amongst the underclassmen, she was recognized as a leader with the upperclassmen because a great deal of respect was earned for her because of how much she pushed forward to change and do more and to be better,” Buscaglia said. “That really was the best leadership quality that she could have, and her voice was better this year, and her communication was much better.” Ezeigbo will continue to work hard at all aspects of her game, and she will continue to have some fun with her hair. She has one more college season to unveil a few new looks. “It depends on how I feel,” Ezeigbo said. “Some colors I’ll hold off ‘til next season so people can see it and since I’m playing, it’s my thing. Green was supposed to be put in earlier but the season is over now. I’m just going to rock the green now and maybe do it again next season.”

I wanted to see myself progress in playing the game. Over all the years, I’ve continued to come back out and throughout that time I started to fall in love with it.” In both soccer and lacrosse, Barnes is in a defensive-minded position, but she also carries an attack mentality.

it’s so interesting how it works and the positions and how you have to move to play, what the different things are that you have to do to be good at the sport, and I just got drawn to it somehow.” This year in lacrosse, she’s been able to do the same in lacrosse. “Andie is ridiculous in the best way,” Hammer said. “She’s got speed, she’s got great strength and power. She has a great eye for the field. She can see plays and make them happen and react off them. She’s a very, very calm centering presence on the field, both offensively and defensively. She’s a great leader. She’s one of our captains. I can’t say enough good things about her.” Ewing returned a strong core of seniors to build around and a solid supporting class of juniors. The extra experience is something new. “This is probably the first year in a few years where we didn’t lose so many girls that it’s been a detriment to us,” Hammer said. “We don’t normally pull large

we’re just going to keep getting better throughout this season.” Her own development has helped make her into a stronger leader on the field. She is someone that shares her knowledge thanks to her newfound confidence. “That helps other people have trust in me and believe that I know what I’m talking about,” Barnes said. “Building my own confidence and building my own skill helps me be a better teammate and leader on the field for the rest of the girls, I think that’s my biggest improvement in the sport overall.” The Ewing coaching staff has been impressed with the way Barnes has come along over the years. They are thrilled to see her producing more. “She’s our D wing and she’s tied as our highest goal scorer for the season,” Hammer said. “That’s a real testament to how hard she works on both ends of the field. She’s great on defense. She’s got good body position, she looks for the check first, she’s great with turnovers and ground ball pick-ups. But I also trust her as soon as she has possession, I don’t have any doubts that she’ll be able to produce, whether it’s a connecting passes or a shot at the cage.” Barnes is trying to do all she can to help the push Ewing to a good year. She wants to make the most of her last season of lacrosse. “It definitely drives a lot of what I do,” Barnes said. “It’s my senior year and it’s my last high school sports season forever. It makes me want it more than I have in the past.”

teams. We don’t have a middle school program. There’s not a lot of rec support and access. And so for us, our numbers are usually small. When you lose big senior groups, it can work against you. This year, the team is in a good position, Hammer said. “We have six seniors. We have a solid group of juniors. In fact, when you look at our starting lineup, there’s only two players that don’t have a lot of experience.” Barnes said she feels like an improved player in her fourth season. “I gained a lot more confidence with my play. I believe in myself more that I can actually do the things I could have always done. I think that’s probably the biggest change between this year and past years.” Barnes has come a long way in a decade. She got her first look at lacrosse at a young age, but didn’t get to play it for years. “I remember back in elementary school, my friend’s older sister used to play lacrosse,” she said. “I thought it was interesting, and I remember her showing me her stick and teaching me some things like years before, but I kind of always thought, ‘Lacrosse is really cool, I kind of want to play in high school.’ Then I just did.” Barnes is hoping to make the most of her final games. “I still see so much potential in us. I was kind of scared because in the last couple years, we lost a lot of strong players, but I always have to remind myself that the people that are still here are getting stronger. Once we played our first couple scrimmages and games, I thought, we are really good and

Next stop on Shabakunk Road: Vernam’s Dairy Farm By Helen Kull Last month we traveled down the old Shabakunk Road (known today as Ewingville Road) towards Federal City Road and the old Ewingville Schoolhouse, and past the Fred Wenzel Farm, and his pig pens, apple orchards and corn fields. We continue in this direction, and as the road takes a bend to the right (roughly at Antheil School), we come upon the Crozer/Vernam Dairy Farm, which stretches across both sides of the road down to the intersection at “Bull’s Alley” (today’s Green Lane). The approximately 130 acre farm was formerly part of the large tract of land associated with the circa 1700 William A. Green property. Over time the Green land was subdivided into smaller parcels, and in 1873, Thomas and Catherine Crozer from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, purchased this parcel, calling it Echo Farm. The original homestead built on the land in 1873 was destroyed by fire in 1880, but another was built. The farm generated market produce, and more than 200 quarts of milk per day. In addition to running a farm, Mr. Crozer over his lifetime had bought and sold horses for government use during the Civil War, and owned a livery stable in Trenton. He was also at one time a member of the state legislature, a county sheriff, and a cattle inspector for the county. In 1897, at the age of 70, Thomas Crozer sold Echo Farm to his daughter Lillie Crozer Vernam and his 38-year-old son-in-law, John Wesley “Wes” Vernam (Sr). The farm now also produced grain and grass crops, and still maintained a herd of dairy cattle, which enabled Wes

Vernam to supply milk to local families. His horse and wagon carried 40-quartcans of milk along the daily route, with customers dipping their own containers into these cans to get their milk. Freeflowing water from a spring on the farm kept the milk cool. Around 1910, Clifford Crozer Vernam (b. 1888), eldest son of Wes and Lillie Vernam, took over the milk route from his father Wes. He married Maude Hunt, and moved to a house they built “up the road a piece” towards Ewingville. The acre-plus property had a foursquare house with a wraparound porch, a barn for horses, a chicken loft, and a springhouse with flowing water to cool the milk. The 1920 Census lists Cliff and his wife Maude living on Ewingville Road, working as a “salesman” in “milk retail.” The home still stands today, at 500 Ewingville Road. Cliff began the use of glass milk bottles in his business. Tragically, Clifford Vernam succumbed to the influenza epidemic in 1920, at age 32, leaving his widow with the home and business. In 1921, Cliff’s brother John Wesley Vernam Jr. (age 25) purchased the milk business and property from his sister-inlaw. In a privately published memoir of the family dairy business, John Wesley Vernam III writes of his father: “At this time John Wesley Jr. was selling milk produced both on his father’s farm and by local farmers, which they delivered to his springhouse. As his business grew, he built an addition onto the springhouse that included a boiler room to sterilize water for cleaning bottles and equipment, and an adjacent room to accommodate bottling equipment. At this time, he began using glass bottles, embossed with Vernam’s Dairy, but he still sold only raw milk.” Milk was delivered to homes in Trenton and Ewing early in the morning. Later in the day, empty bottles were washed and raw milk was bottled and stored in the springhouse. Then the bottling equipment and springhouse were washed, and prepared for the next day. These were expensive investments for an individual to make. But around 1930 when pasteurization became required, the investment became even larger. John Vernam Jr. faced an impossible purchase following the stock market crash, or the loss of the business. He sold the business to Crane Milk Company of Philadelphia, which had a local milk “depot” in Trenton. But—this was not the end of Vernam’s Dairy in Ewing! We’ll continue the story next month. *** My sincere thanks to Carol Vernam Hill, President of the Ewing Historical Society, for supplying the unpublished memoir about the Vernam family dairy business.

Ancient curling iron causes quite the (hair) tangle By Ilene Black

Old movies often featured women dressed in seductive outfits meeting their partners at the door when they returned from a long day at the office, with a martini in their hands. My husband was recently greeted at the door by me with a curling iron hanging from my hair and tears in my eyes. Now THAT’S some seductive stuff right there. Let me explain. George had to get blood work done one morning. When he left for his 8 a.m. appointment, I was in the process of getting ready for work. I wasn’t dressed in my work clothes yet. I had blow dried my hair and I made a management decision to put a little curl into my hair that day. In retrospect, bad decision. Here’s some background: my curling iron is ancient. It’s not like the curling irons in olden days, where you jammed them into an actual fire to heat them up, but it’s old. And it has little teeth on the barrel as well. (This fun fact will become relevant in a minute). I think the thing may actually be around the same age as our youngest son Donnie (33 years old). Hey, why throw something out just because it’s old? If it still works, then why not keep it? Well, I’ll tell you why. Keep reading. I use it occasionally when I’m feeling some hair festivity and fanciness is called for, or when I’m tired of my usual boring straight hair. I’m not quite sure what made me want some curls that day, but I did. So there I was, standing at the bathroom sink curling sections of hair while listening to the television. I got to the last section of hair to be curled. I wrapped it around the barrel of my curling iron and held it there for a few seconds. When I went to unwind the hair from the curling iron, the hair would not unwind. At all. I tugged gently. Nope. I tugged less gently. Nope. I started to pull the hair from the barrel. Nope. That hair was NOT BUDGING. The smell of singed hair filled the room. I quickly unplugged the curling iron. I continued to try and unwrap the hair from the barrel, to no avail. I turned sideways, trying to see in what direction the hair was wrapped. Couldn’t see it. Then I started to get angry. I left the bathroom and walked into the living room. Our two dogs, cuddled on the couch together after their morning meal and exercise, looked up at me with quizzical expressions. I was probably imagining the quizzical expressions, but I still felt judged by them. I sat at the kitchen table, examining my

options: 1. I could cut the hank of hair attached to the curling iron (NO WAY). 2. I could painstakingly try and unwrap the hair strand by strand (too time-consuming and painful!). 3. I could wait for George to get home and help me (The ayes have it on #3). So I sat and waited, dressed in my nightgown, makeup on, three-quarters of my hair looking decent, and a curling iron dangling from the right side of my head. My talent for finding humor in almost any situation kicked in and I started to laugh. I took two selfies of the curling iron in my hair and sent them to my kids with the words, “Curling iron stuck in hair. Gonna be a little late to work.” I also snapped a picture of the dogs and what I firmly believe are their judgmental expressions. Finally just as I was developing a massive headache, George pulled up in the driveway. I met him at the door. Now keep in mind that this man has known me for over 40 years and thus, very little surprises him. So the curling iron hanging from my head didn’t faze him. He promptly got to work untangling the hair. I went thru that day with softly waving hair, EXCEPT for a portion of hair that looked like I had used an egg beater on it, and a dull ache on the right side of my head. Moral of the story? Straight hair rocks.

When I went to unwind the hair from the curling iron, the hair would not unwind. At all.
