Fighting for a cure Lawrence resident raising money for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society
New-look Lawrence Shopping Center adds tenants

Jen Moog is a mom, a wife, a writer, and a survivor. In 2014, Moog, then 42, was the director of human resources with Johnson & Johnson, married with three kids, then ages 4, 6 and 7, when she first started feeling sick. After paying a visit to the doctor for an eye infection, doctors noticed that she had too much calcium, which at first she thought might be a good thing, until doctors kept her for further testing. They discovered she was highly anemic, and doctors were concerned. In the next 48 hours, “everything spiraled out of control,” Moog said. Between being on a breathing tube and a feeding tube and going through dialysis, Moog was unconscious for the next week. Her husband learned about her cancer before she did. Moog was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a rare blood cancer. Since her diagnosis, Moog has dedicated her energy to sharing her experience with others to raise awareness and to fundraise for a cure. This lifelong disease has not stopped her from pursuing her passion of writing and working on ways to help her community. Moog, 46, is dedicating her time to lead a fundraiser after See MOOG, Page 7
The Lawrence Shopping Center has a new look, but things are changing inside the vacant storefronts, too. Township manager Kevin Ner winski confirmed last month that an LA Fitness gym will fill the long-empty space left by a former furniture store. The township is hoping for a Februar y 2020 opening, and Ner winski expects the vacant building to be fully torn down within the next two months. “LA Fitness is the type of organization that does a lot of market research into where they place their gyms,” Nerwinski said. “This location seems to be a no-brainer for them. They have not closed a single location. They build, and they’re stayers.” Nerwinski said some of the conclusions the company drew from that research include the site’s visibility from Route 1, the vision of current shopping center owners JJ Operating Real Estate Investments and the township’s proximity to both Philadelphia and New York. Nerwinski said the reaction of some residents has been along the lines of “If Retro Fitness didn’t work out, why would this gym?” but he maintains that the two fitness centers are two different entities.

LHS teacher honored by Black Caucus By JenniFeR GoetZ Last month, the Capital City Area Black Caucus honored 183 black women in Mercer county for their dedication to making a positive impact on their community. Lawrence High School’s own social studies teacher, Jametta Clarke, was one of them. Clarke, originally from Alabama, moved to New Jersey almost eight years ago. She credits her New Jersey family and friends, her job with Lawrence High School and her worship experience at Union Baptist Church in Trenton as the
reasons she remained in New Jersey. As for her what she does, Clarke has an impressive resume. “I’m a jack of many trades,” said Clarke. “I teach high school social studies by day and children’s Bible study by Wednesday night, choir direct at school and church, cater, event plan and much more.” For Clarke, “teaching is at the heart” of everything she does. She has served as a social studies teacher for about 14 years. Clarke worked as a teacher in Alabama for seven
years, and as a teacher in New Jersey for seven years. Even after a student has left her class, Clarke will always think her former students as her children. “Once my student, always my child.” “Whether I’m teaching history, law, economics, a new song to my Gospel Choir children or working with a team of dedicated Black History Celebration student planning committee members, I’m constantly inspired by them. They motivate me daily to give them the best me that I have to give. On some of my worst days, See CLARK, Page 8

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.

Science Immersion Workshop for Journalists. Included among them this year is Rob Anthes, assistant managing editor for Community News Service, the publisher of the Lawrence Gazette. Anthes is the editor of the Hamilton Post and Robbinsville Advance publications. He is a Lawrence resident. Fellows were selected from a competitive pool of applicants representing 17 nations around the globe. At the workshop, to be held at the University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography June 2-7, fellows will explore ways in which climate change and other human activities affect global water supplies. Fellows will gain hands-on experience and insights from leading scientists, natural resource managers, and private and nonprofit sector practitioners who are working to understand and project the interactions of climate change and water resources and investigating effective ways to communicate these challenges. Fellows will also seek to gain a deeper understanding of how scientists conduct research and handle scientific uncertainty, develop the skills and confidence to interSee AROUND TOWN, Page * 4

between the transition program staff and related service professionals including job coaches, therapists, and a behavior analyst, to better prepare the students for adulthood. “Nicole seems to fit more than 24 hours into a work day and never complains,” Cruz said. “Her vision to help all students with disabilities succeed is truly admirable.” Scheller received her master’s in education (Teaching Urban Adolescents with Disabilities) from Long Island University and her bachelor’s from Oberlin College. She is a member of the Transition Coordinators Network of New Jersey. For more information about The Newgrange School of Hamilton, call (609) 584-1800 ext. 293.

Nicole E. Scheller, language arts teacher and transition coordinator for The Newgrange School in Hamilton was recently named Transition Educator of the Year by the New Jersey Association of People Supporting Employment First. She received the award during the NJAPSE awards luncheon on March 22 in New Brunswick. “We are so proud of Nicole and her achievements in helping Newgrange students transition to employment,” said Tim Viands, CEO/head of schools of The Newgrange School of Princeton. “The path for a new high school graduate isn’t always clear, and for a student with disabilities, more coordinated planning is often required. Under Nicole’s guidance, our transition program has supported many students in reaching their goals after graduation from Newgrange and beyond.” The Newgrange School is a private resource for individuals with learning challenges like autism, Asperger’s syndrome and dyslexia. The transition program is presented across all grades and content areas with the collective goal of post-secondary success for all students. Newgrange teacher and job coach Jeanne Cruz nominated Scheller for the award. “Nicole created a successful transition program in which students participate in regular academic classes, a life and vocational skills class, a social skills class, office skill development, and consistent volunteer opportunities in the community,” Cruz said. “Then there is a parent information transition night, career day, an interview preparation and practice unit, and career exploration trips—all coordinated by Nicole.” Scheller also arranges consultations

SHOPPING continued from Page 1 Members, he said, can expect a pool, community activities and children’s programs. “It’s going to bring hundreds of people daily to the shopping center,” Nerwinski said of the gym. “It’s a game changer.” JJ Operating is the shopping center’s third owner in six years. Last year, the company fulfilled its pledge to invest $5 million into capital improvements to the property, starting with facade renovations that are nearing completion. Nerwinski said that was one of the first things the developer sought on to improve. It looked outdated, they said, and the next step is to install a larger, more prominent sign. “The companies that were overseeing [the shopping center] were managers who had no motivation for profit,” Ner winski said. “They were just managing it. That happened for years, and that’s an awful thing for a town to have there because there’s no incentive to improve. They’re just basically hanging on. When this new owner took over less than two years ago, they are a company that specializes in revitalizing ailing shopping centers. They’ve been around for over 50 years, and when they buy a location, they never sell it. They hold onto it. They’re just accumulating assets which is a really going thing for a community because it means they’re not there to flip.” Other recent additions include a hatchet-throwing studio, Plato’s

Comprehensive and Coordinated Care for Seniors LIFE St. Francis’ 30,000-square-foot state-of-the-art healthcare facility is staffed with medical professionals specializing in geriatric medicine and has 14 handicap accessible vehicles that transport participants to and from all medical appointments.
If you’re like millions of other family caregivers, you want the best care for your aging loved one. But getting that care can be frustrating. You know what it’s like to drive your loved one to different appointments. You know managing medications and coordinating care between doctors can be challenging. And you struggle with leaving your loved one at home alone during the day. It doesn’t have to be this way. LIFE St. Francis can coordinate all the care and services your loved one needs, so you don’t have to place them in a nursing home.
The LIFE team will: • Make a special healthcare plan for and with each participant. • Manage all healthcare services for participants. • Help participants to live safely in the community. Participants receive all healthcare services from LIFE St. Francis. Other than emergency care, all services must be authorized by the care team. A provider within the LIFE network must deliver these services. Participants may be liable for the payment of unauthorized or out-of-network services.

the news should be released soon. “A lot of people who want the traditional food store are not going to be happy, but I think the convenience factor will sway them,” he said. “Some people like new. Other people don’t like new. But I think what’s going to
go in there, people are going to be happy with in the end...Those kind of stores like Lidl, they’re no-frills, but their buying power is so enormous that you get good quality stuff for less money.” Once LA Fitness and the unnamed grocery store open, Nerwinski expects the many other smaller storefronts to fill up. Other newer businesses, like Cafe du Pain bakery, are already drawing in shoppers. “It’s really important for residents, instead of complaining about the shopping center and how it’s vacant, if you have a store, go support your local shops,” Nerwinski said. “I think the town is doing that. You have to have a good product. It’s kind of neat to see everyone going [into the bakery] to support that.” Part of the land surrounding the shopping center near Texas Avenue has been identified as a potential space for affordable housing, which Nerwinski said is generating interest among developers. He thinks a housing development could block the “awful” back view of the shopping center. “I’ve been connected to this town for my entire life,” Ner winski said. “That shopping center for a lot of longtime Lawrence residents, seeing it in the state that it’s been in, has been kind of depressing. It’s like a symbol of maybe the town is sick in some way. I think for the most part, the residents see it rising from the ashes.”

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.

MOOG continued from Page 1 being nominated for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Man and Women of the Year campaign. The 10-week philanthropic fundraising event, which began on March 26 and will run until June 5, is a way to raise awareness and to raise money for a cure to all blood cancers. According to the American Cancer Society, some symptoms of multiple myeloma include low blood counts, bone and calcium problems, infections and kidney dysfunction. The standard multiple myeloma patient is generally over the age of 65, overweight and/or African American. None of these describe Moog. She and her husband Brian, 49, had never heard of multiple myeloma prior to her diagnosis.“It’s a scary thing to be told at 42 that you have cancer,” she said. In the next six month, Moog went through chemotherapy and a STEM cell transplant. Her body responded well to treatments. Since 2014, Moog has been in remission and is focused on staying healthy and on her family including her children, Jake, 11, Kate, 10, and Shea, 8. “We’re very vigilant about hand washing in my house,” Moog said. Moog was first introduced to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in early 2016 when she served as a mentor for the Student of the Year campaign’s candidate, Julia Immordino. This gave her the opportunity to attend speaking events where she could share her story. LLS funds research into new therapies to treat blood diseases, and has invested more than $1.2 billion. This volunteer health agency is dedicated to finding a cure for blood cancers, and to help improve the lives of patients and their families. LLS provides information for cancer patients to help them make informed decisions about their care and offers “support for patients, survivors, families and health care professionals,” according to the LLS website. For the MWOY campaign, Moog and her team have the freedom to come up with any kind of events for fundraising with the support of LLS along the way. “It’s certain that it’s a special honor to be nominated for the Man and Women of the Year Campaign,” said Michelle Evetts, senior campaign director with the LLS. “You are somebody who people view as someone who really takes charge and can be a leader, and who really wants to make a big impact on blood cancer research, and just in the cancer space.” Moog sees continues to be awed by how many different people from all aspects of her life have contributed to her campaign. “It’s amazing to see different people from different parts of your life pitch in,” she said. “I’m so touched by the people that are so generous.” Moog has set a goal of around $75,000 at the end of her 10-week journey, but she is hopeful that the end total will surpass it. Additionally, each dollar raised by Moog counts as one vote. Whichever group earns the most votes is named Man of the Year or Woman of the Year. Evetts said that the overall campaign has its own fundraising goal for the state of New Jersey: $615,000. There are 12
It’s not about losing weight overnight. It’s about staying healthy over time. The Center for Weight Loss at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton Lawrence resident Jen Moog, who was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2014, is raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Man or Woman of the Year campaign. She set a goal of $75,000. candidates in the state, including Moog. “They’re all really determined and super inspired and dedicated to the LLS mission,” Evetts said. “They all really want to blow it out of the water and to raise as much money as they can.” MWOY is not the first opportunity Moog has had to raise money for LLS. Moog has participated in the Princeton Light the Night Walk and has been apart of the top fundraising team, Game On, for the past four years. According to the Light the Night website, the mission of this walk is to it “bring light to the darkness of cancer through research and cures.” She also received the Honored Hero for the Princeton Light the Night Walk in 2016. They’ve raised around $20,000 each year for LLS, and have been in the top five families since they first got involved, according to Moog. In the summer of 2016, Moog decided get back into writing. Moog was a journalism major when she attended Trenton State College, and she decided to get back into writing to share her experience with others. Her blog, Multiple Myeloma Mom, is a space where she documents her journey with cancer, and shares her ups and downs. “I have to get my voice back,” she said. “I have to tell my story my way.” Blood cancers can be treated, but Moog still needs to take medication and have blood work each month. She has been in remission for five years, but after a scare in March, she is more determined than ever to raise money to find a cure. “It’s a sad situation, but we’ve tried to focus on the positive,” said Moog. Moog’s blog is online at multiplemyelomamom.wordpress.com.

CLARKE continued from Page 1 their spirits and zeal for knowledge and enthusiasm for learning have lifted me.” Dr. Patricia Kempton, another award recipient and a 2014 Lawrence High School Black History Trailblazer, observed how Clarke interacted with her students and nominated her to be one of the Capital City Area Black Caucus Inaugural Women’s History Month program. The Capital City Area Black Caucus is an organization that has brought together “dedicated local officials, business men and women, community members and activists,” said Clarke. According to Freeholder Samuel Frisby Sr., the CCABC was founded as a way to “give access and a voice to” leaders in the community. Mercer County residents can get direct access to politicians and Capital City representatives monthly, instead of just around election season. The CCABC’s first meeting was in October of last year, and it was “to begin to discuss issues that impact the black community. “I’ve heard from so many people that, ‘hey, we don’t hear from politicians until it’s election time,” said Frisby, “so we said, you know what, we’re going to bring the elected officials in and we’ll have them speak to you.” The CCABC then decided to share that these meetings would continue at the same time each month, giving Capital City Area residents a chance to discuss issues, with leaders in the community, that affect them. “You can come out and we’ll talk about topics that you want to talk about,” Frisby said. “It really was an organic development that started from the community.” According to Clarke, this is “an influential and much needed organization of great minds and community leaders in the Capital City area.” On a monthly basis, the caucus assembles dedicated local officials, business men and women, community members and activists at the Capital City YMCA on Pennington Avenue to discuss various topics and oppor-

The CCABC hosts its “Trenton Future Series” monthly. This series is a meeting where representatives can gather every second Saturday of the month and discuss issues and hot topics impacting African Americans in the Capital City Area. These meetings, which place at the Capital City YMCA, aim to encourage conversation about the community and what can be done to make improvements. According to Clarke, “among the many topics discussed [by the CCABC] are education, public safety, small business opportunities, available youth and senior programs and race relations. In addition, the caucus frequently pauses to bestow honor among various members in the area.

At the meeting on March 9, the discussion topic was on city-county collaboration. Frisby shared that the discussion focused on “what the county and the city already collaborating on, and where we can see them collaborating on other things.” For the upcoming May meeting, the topic of discussion will be on mental health for mental health awareness month, according to Frisby, and that a mental health awareness fair is in the works, in collaboration with another organization. Frisby knew of Clarke prior to her being recognized by the CCABC, as they attend the same church. He and his wife have been a members of the Union Baptist Church for the past year, and knew Clarke from her work with the gospel choir. “Knowing Jametta, [she’s] a very dedicated and capable choir director,” said Frisby. According to Frisby, a 12-person committee looked into black women in Mercer County that deserved to be recognized for their work, and choose Clarke to be one of the recipients. By honoring black women in Mercer County, the CCABC aims to “thank” these women for all they do and to recognize their efforts. When Clarke learned that she was being honored by the CCABC, she was “humbled” and is “motivated to do more.” Frisby, said the following to the Trentonian: “This recognition of 150 black women in Mercer County is long overdue and is an unbelievable gesture and acknowledgement of these women for
their contributions and their effort on behalf of all of us in the county.” He continued to say that, “this is an important and major recognition of black women’s contributions to the Capital City Area.” “To be honored in the same room as area greats, such as Congresswoman Bonnie Watson-Coleman, Senator Shirley Turner, Assemblywoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson, and so many more beautiful, strong and intelligent black women, rendered me speechless,” said Clarke. Clarke credits her ability as a educator and as an active community member to her “solid spiritual and family foundation.” “I thank God for life, opportunity and second chances. I’m eternally grateful to my parents, Rev. James Clarke, Jr. and the late Etta Alexander Clarke for their love, support, guidance and motivation to always be true to God, my roots and to strive daily to be a better person than the day before.” Clarke is making her impact on her the children she works with, and strives to be a pillar of support and encouragement for any child. “For children who may not have that type of support, I seek to bring a daily dose of stability, love, encouragement and inspiration to their lives. Then and only then, will I be able to receive one of my greatest rewards, sight of their success. It’s in their success that I’ll find life’s greatest reward, the knowledge that I’ve helped someone along the way and thus my living is not in vain.”

Our new toxic neighbor? Pollution from proposed hazardous waste plant could affect air and water in Mercer County By Rob Anthes
ranthes@communitynews.org
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 mid20th century would be in the path of pollution from Elcon’s stack. If built, the plant would be near the Delaware River, directly across from Hamilton Township and upwind from Bordentown City. The body that has the final say—the Falls Township Board of Supervisors— was scheduled to meet regarding Elcon for the first time. In a press release, Falls Township said the Elcon matter “could be decided” during the special meeting, held 7 p.m. in Keller Hall at Pennsbury High School West, Fairless Hills. The meeting comes on the heels of a March 26 unanimous decision from the Falls Township planning commission to not recommend plans for the Elcon facility. The planning commission does not have legal authority, but the Falls supervisor board does factor its recommendations into decisions. Then, later in May, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection will announce its decision on a series of Phase II permit applications submitted by Elcon. If deemed technically complete, the process advances to a 45-day public comment period. Both the Falls Township meeting and the PADEP decision are important moments in a process that has drawn out for five years. But neither necessarily marks the end. If Elcon receives the approvals it seeks, it would build a 70,000-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

HEAVIEST AIR POLLUTION IMPACT Proposed Elcon Plant Location
Tracking air pollution is extremely complex, but the general rule is pollution affects a 30-mile radius from the source. With the prevailing wind going west to east, New Jersey could suffer the bulk of the effects from the proposed Elcon toxic waste facility. (Graphic by Stacey Micallef.) waste would come via truck only to Falls Township from 10 East Coast states. Liquid waste would be stored in tanks on the property until ready for treatment. Elcon is unique in that it uses thermal oxidation, not incineration, to treat waste. The treatment process separates material into four parts: sludge, salt, distilled water and volatile organic compound vapors. The VOCs would go up the facility’s stack, where they would be treated and then released into the air. Elcon’s current proposal says it will operate the thermal oxidizer for 8,400 hours per year, meaning the facility would emit from its stack on average 23 hours per day, every day. Among the resulting pollutants are nitrogen oxides, which can combine with the ambient air to create smog. The company claims on its website that its emissions will not have an adverse impact on air quality “in Bucks County or surrounding areas in Pennsylvania.” Sludge and salts are shipped off the property for final disposal. This is the purpose of the facility: to convert the liquid waste into a solid, which is lighter and cheaper to transport. Critics have decried the plant’s location as much as its purpose. The facility would be built a mile from the Delaware River, and just 2,000 feet from Biles Creek, a tidally influenced tributary of the Delaware. The site also encompasses wetlands that are connected to the river. Water experts say a spill at the facility could easily wind up in the Delaware, polluting a water supply used by 15 million people. In a 2015 letter, the Philadelphia Water Department, which takes 60 percent of the water for the City of Philadelphia from the Delaware River, wrote that the Elcon facility should be rejected “given the risk of multiple-day contamination of the tidal drinking water supply to milSee TOXIC, Page 12

TOXIC continued from Page 11 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 fourmile radius, according to a resolution passed by the supervisor board in Newtown Borough, Pennsylvania. Newtown is just one of many municipalities on both sides of the Delaware River, including Bordentown City and Bordentown Township, to have passed similar resolutions opposing the facility. Air pollution could also have an effect on water quality, says Fred Stine, citizen action coordinator with Delaware Riverkeeper Network, a nonprofit based in Bristol, Pennsylvania. Small pieces of solid waste, called particulate, go into the air with the gases expelled by the stack. The particulate matter eventually falls to ground level, where it can be inhaled by people or enter water sources like rivers and streams. “Air pollution and hazardous waste accidents do not know New Jersey from
Pennsylvania,” said Russell Zerbo, advocacy coordinator for Clean Air Council, an environmental nonprofit based in Philadelphia. “It doesn’t turn around at the state line.” PADEP doesn’t factor in such information, though, when considering proposals like Elcon’s. Its rules require a strict focus on the facility and land itself as they relate to the permits Elcon seeks. PADEP doesn’t consider the potential danger of waste traveling to or from the facility, nor does it consider the existing pollution burden on the area of the application. Elcon says concerns about the facility and PADEP’s limitations are unfounded. “Elcon believes that its applications comply with all of the applicable regulations and that it has taken many steps to go beyond what is required by the regulations in an effort to address public concerns,” said Joel Bolstein, an environmental lawyer at Fox Rothschild, the Philadelphia law firm that represents Elcon. “Also, Elcon believes the facility is properly zoned, and it can fully comply with all applicable local ordinances.” Elcon has taken plenty of steps to appease critics, including conducting voluntary pollution and spill modeling,

agreeing to install monitoring systems in the facility’s stack and even making plans to elevate the facility above the 100-year and 500-year floodplains. Elcon also says it will not take fracking, medical or radioactive waste. The company agreed to install groundwater monitoring wells and impermeable liner and a shut-off valve in its stormwater basin. The facility itself will have zero wastewater discharges, according to PADEP. During its attempts to build new facilities elsewhere in the world, Elcon took similar steps to win over local residents, with no luck. Elcon says it has developed “the most eco-friendly way to treat hazardous liquid waste streams.” If its literature is accurate, that is true at least compared to alternatives, such as incineration and deep-well injection. The company says its emissions will be “99.9 percent free of contaminants,” “will not be a major source of nitrogen oxides” and “will not have an adverse impact on air quality or ‘ozone days’ in Bucks County or surrounding areas in Pennsylvania.” Some of those claims are misleading, though. An air dispersion model released by the company voluntarily in February 2019 says Elcon will release carbon monoxide, lead, sulfur dioxide and particulate matter into the air. A plan approval document submitted to PADEP in October 2018 also says Elcon wants permission to emit 10 tons per year of hydrochloric acid. When released as a gas, hydrochloric acid can mix with water in the atmosphere, resulting in acid rain. It can also appear in what is

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 Lawrence Gazette about it. Martin said he reached out to Hamilton’s state representatives to see what, if

TOXIC continued from Page 13 by Al-Jazeera. The report added that residents have noticed a prevalence of other health issues, including cancer, childhood asthma, eye infections and infertility. This is the only place in the world where Elcon’s process is used to treat toxic waste. Not much is known about how Elcon’s process works and how it would scale to the larger facility proposed for Falls Township. Elcon has been in its new location in Israel for several years now, but the facility hasn’t come up to full operation yet, Stine said. It currently treats 120,000 tons of aqueous industrial waste, just more than half the amount proposed for Falls Township. Despite this, Elcon has focused for nearly a decade on expanding its reach. The search for a place amenable to a second Elcon location has spanned two continents. From 2011 until 2015, Elcon targeted several towns in the northern Italian province of Lombardy, including Castellanza, 17 miles from the city center of Milan. In Castellanza, the project faced stiff opposition. Residents protested for more than two years, organizing marches with hundreds of people, jamming local squares. Elcon eventually backed down, pulling the proposal in March 2014, according to Italian news outlet Varese News. At the same time, in 2011, Elcon approached the municipal government in Lakewood, Ocean County, about
building a plant there. During a May 26, 2011 meeting of the local council, Elcon representatives said Lakewood was attractive because it was “well situated along the pharmaceutical belt that runs essentially from Philadelphia up to New York,” according to official minutes from the meeting. Ultimately, Lakewood rejected Elcon. So, company officials turned their attention to a place they thought would be more agreeable: Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Elcon submitted a proposal in 2014 for 33 acres of a former steel mill along the Delaware River in Falls Township. The surrounding industrial park already included several landfills, incinerators and manufacturing plants. Elcon seemed to fit in just fine there. “One of the foolish things industry has said is if you use chemicals in your life, you have to accept this facility here,” Zerbo said. “This area has an immense 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.
‘If you’re concerned about having a toxic waste facility basically in the Delaware River, you need to be talking to your public officials now.’ –Russell Zerbo, Clean Air Council coordinator

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. In the same area, there are three landfills, a contaminated soil incinerator and a municipal waste incinerator. All are adjacent, but not all are included in KIPC. Development isn’t finished at the site, either. Zerbo said Waste Management, which runs the landfills, wants to construct new gas flares in the area. Gas flares are a way for landfills to burn off waste gases created by the facility. Waste gases usually are a mixture of methane, carbon dioxide and other substances. And, of course, there’s the possibility of Elcon. Across the Delaware River, the residents of Bordentown City wonder what the effect on them will be. When U.S. Steel was open, they would wake up with red dust covering their houses, particulate from the plant. In recent years, Bordentown City has been subject to strong, unpleasant odors coming from the landfills and industry in Falls Township. On the homepage of the Bordentown City website, alongside listings for community events, is an image of a fish and a dirty sock with “Reporting Offensive Odor” written above it. A link leads to a webpage with phone numbers residents can call to report bad smells, including the DEP in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The Bordentown City deputy mayor, Brodowski, knows the effect industry across the river has had on his constituents, and worries what Elcon might bring. He has been a vocal presence at meetings about the Elcon project and has tried to rally people to fight against the proposal. There are many things about Elcon’s quest to come to Falls Township that don’t sit well with him, among them the existence of a “green” industrial park where a toxic waste treatment plant could be a viable tenant. “Really, there should be some sort of accountability for that,” Brodowski said. “There was a bait-and-switch along the way.” The KOIZ status for the Keystone Industrial Port Complex site expired Dec. 31, 2018. Environmentalists like Zerbo expect Elcon to seek the tax incentives anyway, citing the fact that the applications for the facility were filed well before the KOIZ benefits lapsed. But there’s a chance the KOIZ era is over in Falls Township. And to Brodowski, who has seen and heard stories about his city bearing the brunt of the industry along the Falls Township side of the river for decades, it’s a chance to change direction. “When you start digging into it, it’s a bigger problem than just one facility,” Brodowski said. “It may be a really good
opportunity for the state and Falls Township to reevaluate what is happening in that complex because it has gone in the wrong direction.” *** Those who have been fighting Elcon from the beginning see the next few weeks as the chance to gain ground in a battle against an unyielding opponent. “There are glimmers of hope all over the place,” Brodowski said. “There are many bodies who could put a stop to it. It’s just frustrating how long it’s been going on, and it’s still happening.” The Falls Township supervisors were scheduled to hear the proposal for the first time during a much anticipated April 30 meeting. The board said in a press release it couldn’t take action on Elcon before the company submitted a formal land development plan. Then, the PADEP review of Elcon’s Phase II applications ends in May, 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 lots of details Elcon has yet to release or possibly even decide, such as where exactly it will be sending the waste or the routes the full tanker trucks will take to and from the facility. Elcon has agreed to map the approach route so that trucks will not pass by schools, nursing homes and hospitals. But the promise only applies to the final stretch to the facility, once in Falls. Nothing has been revealed about the path trucks would take to get to that point, including which roads in New Jersey they would take to get into Pennsylvania. Trucks carrying hazardous material take local roads every day, something that Brodowski and other Elcon opponents admit. But their concern is the concentration of trucks that will exist with a facility in the area. Elcon has said it will receive approximately 20 truckloads of toxic waste every day, and has the capabilities to process 17 of them daily. It has not disclosed how many trucks will leave the Falls facility with freshly treated waste each day. And should there be a spill or accident, the plan to handle it is unclear. Stine said the company has proposed using the driver as the first line of defense. “If a guy is in an accident, he probably won’t be cleaning up spills,” Stine said. Brodowski also worries about an accident during the transportation process, particularly because response could fall on local emergency services departments without the equipment or training to handle hazardous waste. “They’re the first responders,” Brodowski said. “They’re on their own. There’s not going to be any assistance. I didn’t hear anything about special training or increased budget allocations or anything like that. It’s frustrating that it’s looked at in a vacuum, and not the impact it will have on all these compounding other factors.” Despite the large number of missing details about the yet-to-be-built Falls Township facility, Elcon also already has plans to expand it in a second phase of construction. The expansion would double the facility’s size to 140,000 square feet. There are still plenty of questions remaining about Elcon and its quest to build a plant in Falls Township. But one thing is for sure: Elcon has once again met opposition as determined as it is. As history has shown, whether Elcon’s facility becomes reality largely depends on how many local residents decide they want to speak up against it. “People have their opinions about environmentalists,” Brodowski said. “But the reality is if these things aren’t in place, there’s a direct impact on your health and your quality of life. This is a real thing that is happening right in our backyard.”

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 Ave-

This photo taken by the Army Corps of Engineers in 2007 shows the intersection of Sweet Briar Avenue and Whitehead Road. nue was the only candidate that fit the criteria. ELSA has room on its own property to fit 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 Protection approval in 2015, receiving approv-

als 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 neighbors and walked through their flooded homes. 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 Sweet-
briar 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.”

Updates to Lawrence Township’s brush collection program sparked controversy with residents earlier this year. Smaller allowances and strickter enforcement, including fines and a roving code officer, resulted in residents voicing displeasure with town hall. But township manager Kevin Nerwinski hopes a couple of months and more thorough information will make the transition smoother. “We’ve had a brush program for years,” Nerwinski said. “What’s happened over the years is our accommodation of residents to not follow the rules has spiraled out of control because we weren’t enforcing and when we did try to enforce, the backlash was significant, and there was just no will to fight.” Before the new parameters were set, Nerwinski said township officials publicized the changes through three public hearings, posted notices on the Lawrence Township website and social media accounts and mailed out notices with residents’ tax bills. “Over the last two years, we’ve had significant increases in our brush pickup that has caused our ecological center to overflow, that causes us to actually have to pay to have it disposed at another facility.” Nerwinski said the past year’s excess costs totaled $40,000, largely because landscaping companies based in other towns came to Lawrence and “dumped it on our streets” to avoid disposal costs. “Last year and the years before, all of a sudden, these enormous piles of brush were seen all over the town,” Nerwinski said. “I had a concern about the safety. There are walkers in our town, kids walk-
ing all over the place.” Some of those safety concerns include visibility and brush covering or falling into storm drains. Nerwinski also said residents tended to put brush out on the curb the day after their zone was picked up, meaning brush would be left out for a month. “There became a really strong need to make reasonable restrictions on the brush pickup,” Nerwinski said. “We wanted to preserve this service, and the only way to preserve it is if we actually start enforcing and educating the residents.” Piles are now limited to three feet in height (previously four) and 12 feet in length. Individual limbs are limited to three feet in length. Brush must be placed no more than four feet away from the street, and piles should be placed at the curb the weekend before that zone is scheduled for pickup. Specific zoning information and a full list of the regulations can be found at lawrencetwp.com or by calling (609) 587-1894. If a standard is not followed, the code enforcement officer will notify the resident. If changes are not made, fines could follow. Nerwinski said the process has been “difficult” and accompanied by “a lot of angry phone calls” from residents who feel insulted by the fines and notifications as taxpayers. “They don’t like when I say, ‘You don’t pay taxes to violate our laws,’” he said. “It’s all designed to preserve the program, and that’s what we’re trying to do. In years past, someone would demand to get it picked up because we didn’t want to fight.” However, Nerwinski said that 90 percent of residents follow the rules, and he doesn’t think any residents will receive court summonses. As long as homeowners adapt to the changes, he said, the new program will be running smoothly by the fall. “There’s only one day that you put out your garbage cans, and everybody seems able to comply with that,” he said. “Why can’t you comply with the brush?”
‘We want to preserve this service, and the only way to preserve it is if we actually start enforcing and education the residents.’ –Kevin Nerwinski

As a rabbi, Benjamin Adler of Adath Israel Congregation in Lawrence has witnessed the ongoing struggles of congregants with dementia and their caregivers. As difficult as it is for the people suffering from memory impairment, he says, for caregivers it can be even harder. To give a sense of the emotional challenges posed by memory loss, he compares it to being a caretaker for a family member with physical limitations. “When you see someone who is physically having trouble, but can have a normal conversation, there is a little bit of normalcy there,” Adler says. “But when you’re with someone who can’t communicate and be the person you remember, I think it is much more traumatizing for those people.” To counter the sense of isolation that can plague both a memory-challenged person and their caregiver, memory cafés have developed where both individuals can simply enjoy together social time and a creative activity. Starting on July 9, Adler’s congregation at 1958 Lawrenceville Road in Lawrence will be hosting Friend’s Circle: A Memory Café the second Tuesday of each month. This free, nonsectarian café has been developed by Donna Sobel, director of business development at Ewing’s Greenwood House, a senior living and care

With arts activities, Sobel says, “there is no right or wrong, and that is why creative arts are so important.” She adds that they are “the last thing to go in people’s memory.” Currently, she is on the lookout for creative artists who are experienced working with people with memory challenges. While developing Friend’s Circle, Sobel visited Café Connection, a memory café in Cherry Hill, run jointly by Jewish Family & Children’s Service of Southern New Jersey and the Betty and Milton Katz Jewish Community Center. “People seemed to know each other and were hugging and laughing,” Sobel says of the 40 or so attendees. At Café Connection in Cherry Hill Sobel saw people with minimal to moderate memory challenges and their caregivers who “seemed to know each other” and were talking about prior conversations and asking about family members not present. “It was a warm, friendly, and fun time, and that’s how we envision it to be,” she says. Adler looks forward to having the monthly Friend’s Circle available to his members. “I have a number of congregants who have memory issues, and I look forward to being able to offer it as a service to them,” he says. “Even if it is not a program we are running, we are the location of it.” When approached by congregants

about memory issues, Adler says, “I’m certainly around to listen and lend a caring ear and try to direct them to whatever resources I have.” That includes referring them to a professional in the field. Another part of his role is to reassure caregivers that they are making the right choices about a family member’s care. “The reality is there is no one right way to approach it; it’s about having the right intentions and the love for your loved one,” Adler says. At a recent Sabbath service, he spoke about different ways of approaching dementia. “Do you lie to your loved one?” he asks. “Do you always tell the truth, even though the truth is painful?” Someone with dementia, for example, might ask where her husband is, even though he died years ago. “If you tell them the truth, they will reexperience that pain. Or do you say, ‘He or she is out getting groceries’?” “I hear these stories from people, and people struggle with it. I try to reassure them that if they love their mom and dad or spouse, I think it shows through,” he says. Adler sees the biggest role of a memory café as providing community, both for the person suffering memory loss and their caregiver. “People may intellectually know others go through the same issues, but if you don't talk to others who are dealing with the same problems, you feel alone, you feel you are swimming in a sea all by yourself. Being with other people and knowing others are going through the same struggle is reassuring and helpful.” For a person with dementia, who is often isolated at home, “just being with other people” is so important, Adler says. “It is not necessarily good conversation that they are seeking. It is just human presence. Touch, sight, a new environment, the warmth of just another’s presence is healing and is going to 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: the kosher café, Tuesdays to Fridays, 11:30 to 12:30 (sponsored by Jewish Family & Children’s Service of Mercer County), provides hot, kosher meals to seniors; the Golden Age Club of the Jewish Community Center offers
lunch and a program at its Monday meetings; and Café Europa provides a monthly lunch for Holocaust survivors and usually meets at Adath Israel. 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. Adler grew up in San Antonio, TX, where his father was in real estate and his mom was a stay-at-home mom while he was growing up. His family belonged to a Conservative synagogue, observed the Jewish holidays, and “pretty frequently” went to services. When he was 10, he started spending summers at the Conservative movement’s Camp Ramah in California, where he eventually became a counselor. “I loved it; it sparked my interest in Judaism and being more observant of

Jewish tradition,” he says. His interest in Judaism led him to Columbia University because he was looking for a college “that had a more extensive Jewish life than San Antonio, which had a pretty small Jewish community.” While majoring in history at Columbia, Adler “took advantage of the New York Jewish community—all the different synagogues and places to really learn about Jewish life,” he says. After college, he took a job at a New York synagogue, B’nai Jeshurun, where he did programming, planned events, and worked on the newsletter. He then worked for a couple of internet companies before matriculating at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York, where he was ordained as a rabbi. For seven years Adler served as rabbi of White Meadow Temple in Rockaway, NJ, and he has been at Adath Israel Congregation for five years. His wife, Lisa Adler, is a social worker at the Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Mercer County. His son Ronen, 15, is a student at the Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy in Philadelphia; his son Jonah, 13, attends the Lawrenceville School; and his daughter Miya, 10, is a student at Lawrence Intermediate School.
‘People with memory challenges and their family members can still have quality in their life and be able to go out and have a good time.’ –Donna Sobel
Sobel maintains that memory cafés are a step toward developing dementia-friendly 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.

FOOD & DINING Bakery aims to bring global goods to Lawrence community By Samantha Sciarrotta
ssciarrotta@communitynews.org
When Cafe Du Pain opened its doors last year, it was what felt like the lone new business in a sea of Lawrence Shopping Center closures. Now, as the Lawrence Township mainstay continues to make capital improvements and aims to actively draw in new tenants, the bakery has grown into a local favorite. “That is our goal. If you look around, our aspiration is to provide quality baked goods to the community, but it’s also kind of rebuilding the business community here and creating some new jobs,” said investor and advisor Judith Registre. “We see this space as a place that will support the management of the center and bring it to life.” Head baker and managing director Marie Onyeani said the timing was “perfect.” “As we were visiting locations with our contractor, we noticed the Lawrence Shopping Center was under new management, and we reached out,” she said. “Amazingly, our business was the kind of business he was looking for to revitalize the shopping center.” The bakery specializes in a diverse
menu of items, like croissants, Haitian Kreyol patties, artisan breads, sandwiches and an array of sweets. Onyeani draws her inspiration from French, Caribbean, American and other traditions. The globally-inspired menu is a way to connect customers with the world around them through specialty coffee and baked goods, said Onyeani’s business partner Judith Registre. And she feels a culturally diverse community like Lawrence is the perfect place to make that happen. “That is the concept of our brand; we seek to take people on a journey through our baked goods and coffee, whether that be in the spice or the baked products itself,” Onyeani said. Onyeani has been a baker for as long as she can remember, she said. But for a long time, it was just a hobby -- it wasn’t something she imagined a career in. She foresaw something more clear-cut, like a job in the education, medical or law fields. After graduating from Trenton High School, she went to Rider University and earned a teaching degree. Still, though, baking was a constant presence in her life. She has worked and studied as a baker in various capacities
Marie Onyeani (left) celebrates the Cafe Du Pain grand opening with Lawrence Township Mayor Chris Bobbitt. since 1997, so in 2013, she decided to make a change. “While being a teacher was important to me and still is, the reality throughout my life is that I was either baking or working at a bakery or studying baking,” she said.
Onyeani and Registre started scouting location, first in Hamilton and then in other parts of Mercer County. After two years, they decided on Lawrence. “Lawrence is the perfect center in Mercer County for a bakery like ours -other bakeries in the area demonstrate that,” Onyeani said. “The location is a perfect bridge between Trenton and Princeton, and the shopping center makes it an accessible and convenient location for the Lawrence community itself, the surrounding areas, and for commuters.” New this spring are seasonal classes, like a Mother’s Day cupcake bouquet decorating course and summer baking sessions for children and teens. These classes are a way for Onyeani to combine two of her passions: baking and educating. “We have a lot of plans that we are working on for 2019 to create a space for people to go on a journey through baked goods to learn, enjoy and experience the world,” Onyeani said. “I want the bakery to be a charming place that delights people and that people are delighted by, a place that takes them on a delightful journey through our baked goods, the environment and service.”

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.

Lawrence lacrosse player Sarah Berardi first started with the sport as a freshman, but she has grown into one of the team’s top players. (Photo by Rich Fisher.) just wanted to be a great role model and great leader and an overall great teammate, just like the older girls were when I was a freshman. It was my first year playing lacrosse and all the older girls made me feel welcome and were great role models.” Berardi continued to toil at home in the off-season and came back to score 27 goals as a sophomore. She doubled that total with 54 last year, which is when she realized that 100 was a reasonable goal. “As soon as I started thinking about it I really wanted it because it’s a huge accomplishment,” Berardi said. “And to get it with all my teammates who I love and care about, and who support me so much was great. Our team has a great bond and I love the atmosphere.” After hitting the century mark, the next goal was getting past Pascarella. “I kind of knew the record but I wasn’t sure of the exact total,” Berardi said. “When they told me I broke the record I had no idea. I heard a bunch of different numbers. We didn’t know the exact one until Phillips told me.” Despite her scoring prowess, Berardi’s first instinct is not to shoot the ball, but to check out the overall situ-

Talk about having natural talent. Sarah Berardi did not start playing lacrosse until ninth grade and even now she doesn’t play travel or club. All her work comes with the Lawrence High team, or in her backyard. And yet, she will play college lacrosse at Rowan University next year. That’s what happens when you combine raw ability with hard work. “It’s honestly crazy,” the senior centermidfielder said with a laugh. “They’re fabulous coaches with everything they taught me here. I have a lacrosse goal at my house and I got a rebounder so I could go out and practice on my own because I had never played before. I knew I needed more time to practice and get better. Every day after practice I’d go to my house, use the rebounder, shoot on goal just to make myself better. I didn’t want to have just one practice a day.” The results have been noticeable. Through the Cardinals 4-3 start, Berardi had 39 goals this season and 124 for her career. On Apr. 4 against Hamilton West, her seven goals put her over the 100 mark and allowed her to break the school record for goals in a season. Sabrina Pascarella had the previous mark before graduating in 2015. “She has really impressed me from the first day of practice,” coach Heather Phillips said. “She holds herself to high standards and never settles for anything but her best. She has always been like that. She’s really growing. As a senior she’s a huge leader on attack, defense, midfield, taking draws. She’s just all over the place.” Berardi has played soccer all her life, and always wanted to play lacrosse but there was none offered in Lawrence when she was a kid. “If they had a middle school team I would have 100 percent played.,” she said. “I always wanted to try it and it always seemed so fun and enjoyable. I watched college lacrosse on TV, I loved it.” Berardi had the usual growing pains when she started, as she needed to learn how to cradle the ball to avoid losing it. She started on JV as a freshman and was called up later in the season and immediately fit in at midfield. She scored four goals that year, and really wasn’t thinking about breaking records as much as just following her older teammates’ example. “Honestly I had no idea I could do something like that,” she said. “As a freshman the older kids in front of me had such a great impact on us that I wanted to be like them. I didn’t honestly think that this would happen. I

ation. If she does not feel she has a good angle, she will pass the ball off rather than tr y and force the issue, get double teamed and lose the ball. When Sarah does shoot, she is dangerous in several ways. “I think she kind of just sets the bar high and she is always focusing on where the shot’s gonna be going,” Phillips said. “She sees the big picture and really concentrates on seeing the ball to the cage. She has a hard shot when she goes high, but sometimes she has a finesse shot, And she’s very fast. She’s got the footwork, the speed. You add a good shot to that and you’ve got an allaround player. And she’s a good defender, her speed gets her footwork going.” She’s the kind of player colleges are looking for, which is why Berardi will head to Rowan along with Nottingham’s 100-goal scorer, Michaela Donnelly, next year. The two never met off the lacrosse field until a recruits meeting in Glassboro, and they immediately clicked. “I always knew about her, now I’m excited to play with her,” Berardi said.
“And Rowan was my first choice overall. I loved the campus. It was so easy to make my decision.” Berardi, who has a 3.65 grade point average, will major in health and physical education and wants to become a coach and teacher. Her long-range goal is to become an athletic director, so LHS AD Greg Zenerovitz may want to worry about his job in four years. Berardi is a natural leader on the field and off. She is president of the Student Council, vice-president of the Driver’s Ed club and is also in DECA. With those kind of responsible positions, she already has a head start on running things like an athletic staff. “I just like the atmosphere,” Berardi said. “I’m interested when I see what Mr. Z does. I love being around spor ts. So with my major, I just want to tie it all together. I’ve talked to Mr. Z a couple times, but once the school year star ts to settle down I’ll go to him for any tips he wants to give to me.” Who knows? Maybe it will come as naturally to her as lacrosse did.

Lawrence resident earns prestigious wrestling honor By Rich FisheR There are some moments in life when you just have to pull off to the side of the road. Either that, or cause a 12-car pileup on a major highway. Ken Bernabe had such an experience last year. Driving from his Lawrence home to Chesterfield to see one of his grandson’s baseball games, Bernabe was on Route 295 with another grandson, 8-year-old Jameson, in the backseat. Suddenly the phone rang and it was Howie O’Neill, the New Jersey State Wrestling Tournament Director. He was giving Bernabe the good news that he would be receiving the 2019 Harry E. Lake Award for his contributions to wrestling, which he was presented with on March 2 at the state tournament in Atlantic City. “I swear to God I had to grip the steering wheel even tighter,” Bernabe said. “I welled up, and my grandson was concerned about me. He said ‘Pop are you OK?’ I said, ‘Jameson I gotta pull off to the side of the road,’ because I couldn’t talk, it was just overwhelming. I told Jameson I would explain everything after I finished the phone call and I told Howie ‘I gotta take a moment to gather myself up, because this is incredible.’ It was an epiphany.” A well-deserved epiphany for a man who made the Garden State a better place to wrestle. It doesn’t get much better than this award, as Harry E. Lake is considered the Father of High School
Lawrence resident Ken Bernabe was presented with the Harr y E. Lake award at the New Jersey State Wrestling Tournament for his numerous contributions to the sport. Wrestling in New Jersey. Lake was the former Athletic Director at Union High School and Director of the NJSIAA state tournaments from 1934 until his
Pets everywhere are saying,
untimely death in 1959. He organized the New Jersey Wrestling Officials Association in 1934 and is considered one of the premier promoters of New Jersey high school wrestling. “If Mr. Lake were to walk by me as an aberration or come down in a time capsule, I wouldn’t be able to describe him because I never met him,” Bernabe said. “But I know he’s got a heavy reputation. For them to give me an award named after him, these are things you dream about. It is a monster award, it is the highest award that can be given in the state for recognizing a person in this sport.” His college coach and close friend of 50 years, Barry Burtnett, felt it was well-
earned recognition. “Ken is very deserving of this prestigious award,” said Burtnett, who recently played host to Bernabe and his wife at his Florida home in The Villages. “I have been involved with wrestling for over 60-plus years, and can honestly say that he has dedicated his life to the sport.” It’s not as if Bernabe, a Lawrence Township resident for 30 years, hasn’t been honored before. In 2013, he received the Lifetime Service to Wrestling Award from the National Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum in Stillwater, Oklahoma. But because this came from within the state to which the 71-year-old donated his talents for over 50 years, it has extra meaning. Bernabe wrestled for the Bridgewater-Raritan East team in high school before competing on the first Rider College (now University) squad in 1968-69 under Burtnett. “He was responsible, along with many wrestlers, for getting our program off the ground,” Burtnett said. “When I first started the program, Ken was an average wrestler, but he helped me recruit other former high school wrestlers on campus to come out for a new team and the rest was history.” When Bernabe was finished with competition, his major contributions to wrestling were just beginning. After graduating he was an assistant wrestling coach at B-R East. In 1973 he began teaching at the newly opened West Windsor-Plainsboro High School (now WW-P South) and guided the wrestling team to 54-16-2 record through 1979. The small school was ranked No. 10 in the region in 1977. He leaned heavily on Burtnett for advice during those times. “We had a wonderful opportunity to build a program at West Windsor,” Bernabe said. “Aside from creating a program, we took on the responsibility of educating the parents to the sport. We felt it was critical to get parents together to talk about weight management and explain

what the rules were and how to interpret the rules so they would be educated and not yell so much at coaches and refs. We felt parents were integral parts of the program. We built them into the program and took care of their kids, which was their most important concern.” In 1980, he became a principal at Delsea High School before moving on to the Springfield-Union County school district, where he was a middle school principal for seven years and an elementary school principal for 11. At one of his job interviews, Bernabe was asked what qualified him to be a principal. “I said ‘My participation at seeding meetings as a coach,’” he said. “They said ‘Excuse me?’ Here I am with board members, teachers. They said ‘You have to explain that.’ I told them you’re in there fighting for your kid, trying to get the best seed for your kid who has worked hard all year. So while what I said may have sounded strange, there’s a degree of merit behind that. You always want what’s best for your kids.” When he became a principal, Bernabe also got into officiating, which is where he made his biggest mark. He handled the state finals three times, and put to work his lessons from numerous teachers. “I had a bunch of mentors in my career,” he said. “If they did anything, they schooled me correctly, they took me under their wing. They taught me all of the important things about the profession. They taught me the demeanor. They taught me about composure, the poise, the respect you need when you’re officiating. “They talked about the responsibility of listening to the coaches, and if they had a concern or a question; how to respond to them. Because I was in their shoes at one time. How to deal with the coach who maybe needed to have a reinterpretation of the rules for him and the way in which you do it, so that you’re not asserting yourself as ‘Hey, I’m the boss here, this is how it’s gonna be.’ You do it in a quiet manner. I always felt the best officials see everything but are seldom seen themselves. It’s almost like ‘Who was that masked man?’” Burtnett felt, unequivocally, that “Ken’s biggest contribution to wrestling was his officiating.” Bernabe retired from education in 2005 but continued to officiate for the next five years. He looked forward to focusing completely on wrestling without a full-time job pulling him in different directions. “I commuted from Lawrenceville to Springfield for 18 years, that was like 62 miles each way,” he said. “I’d finish at quarter to five, walking out the door; I’d get a cell call from a parent and I’m on my way to do Hunterdon Central-DelVal. You always take the job with you. So I officiated for five years being able to enjoy retirement and also experience it without being a master to another enterprise. I was in the twilight of my career those last five years, but just being able to relax before I went to a meet, to be able to enjoy that was a great feeling.” Since hanging up the striped shirt in 2010, Bernabe continues to be involved in the sport. “He helped myself and Frank Mosier to establish the National Hall of Fame’s New
Jersey Chapter some 20-plus years ago,” Burtnett said. “He presently serves as the master of ceremonies at the chapter’s annual awards ceremony and he is also the chairman of the nominating committee.” Bernabe still attends matches at Lawrence High and the Lawrenceville School, as well as some of the marquee matches around the state and in his home county of Somerset. Several years ago he served as Chris Lynn’s assistant for the Cardinals wrestling team. He performs volunteer work in Lawrenceville, Mercer County and his church, and is on the Rider alumni board. Like most participants from another era, Bernabe feels that parental interference has become an issue in high school sports, saying, “Today, everybody’s an expert.” He also understands that club wrestling in addition to high school wrestling can be beneficial, but also confusing because two coaches are telling one wrestler two different things. “I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with getting extra instruction, but that puts a kid in a tough situation,” he said. “He has his head coach telling him one thing and his club coach telling him another, who does he listen to?” Weight management has also become an extremely important subject. “You need to hire an assistant coach just to deal with weight management,” Bernabe said with a laugh. “You make one mistake in this day and age that disqualifies a kid and look out. You better get a train ticket to Siberia. . . or they’ll have a train ticket for you. The demands are so much more on coaches these days.” As they are on officials. “I give officials these days a lot of credit,” he said. “Every single year there is some kind of rule change. Aside from knowing the rules and exercising the rules; when you’re being challenged you’ve got to know how to respond. You’ve got to be in shape. You’ve got to have a good endurance level. “If you want to improve and enhance your skills you’ve gotta do the big matches. That’s where you’ll cut your eye teeth if you want to go to the next level. Because those high quality meets are where the crowd is into it and the crowd is trying to yell louder than you or yell louder at you. I liked officiating in an audience where I couldn’t hear anything. Because if someone was calling me a bad name I didn’t hear them anyway.” The good names far outweighed the bad when it came to Bernabe, whose love of wrestling made him loved by those in wrestling. “It’s just an unbelievable sport,” he said. “It’s about one’s ability to compete, to improve. There’s really no one else to blame but yourself. When you stop and think about all the things that are unique to the sport—the weight management, the skill level, it’s amazing. (Legendary Iowa coach) Dan Gable said it best. ‘Once you have wrestled, everything else in life is easy.’” No matter how difficult the sport gets, it is always embraced warmly by Bernabe. “Everybody should have had the principalship I had, the coaching career I had or the officiating career I had,” he said. “I’m a lucky man. I’m blessed.” And wrestling is blessed to have him.
