Laffcon spotlights ‘unique’ sci-fi author

Ewing entrepreneur wants to launch wishes, memories into space By MaDeleIne MaccaR

By MIcHele alPeRIn For people outside the world of science fiction aficionados, the idea of a yearly conference on an obscure writer Raphael Aloysius Lafferty may be difficult to understand. To tantalize the uninitiated, two organizers of the fourth Laffcon conference at the Lawrence library try to capture the uniqueness of Lafferty’s work. Laffcon4, the world’s only conference dedicated to Lafferty, takes place Saturday, June 8, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., at the Lawrence Library. The free conference, cosponsored by the library and the Northeast Lafferty League, includes a pizza lunch and a convention booklet for each attendee. Robert Bee, a Ewing resident who is a Laffcon event organizer, offers a summary of Lafferty’s novel Past Master, which demonstrates both Lafferty’s approach and his devout Catholicism. People living in a future world that is a struggling utopia decide to bring Sir Thomas More, author of the 16th-century work Utopia, back from the past to become the ruler, who they hope will fix their problems. Bee said More is a historic See BEE, Page 8

In the time since SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket launched into space February 2018, the bright red Tesla Roadster has exceeded its 36,000-mile warranty easily more than 17,000 times over, and its mannequindriver Starman has listened to “Space Oddity” more than 127,100 times as the distinctive payload of Elon Musk’s highprofile project continues on its journey through our solar system. Back on Earth over that same span of time, life-long Ewing resident Joe Rego went from nurturing the spark of an idea that the launch inspired in him to getting his own pet project off the ground. After more than a year of planning, inquiring and fervently chasing a dream, his nascent aerospace company Launch-A-Wish was finally ready for takeoff. Launch-A-Wish, which Rego says formally got its start this April, encourages private citizens all over the world to cast anything from a birthday wish, to a photograph, to a memorial tribute into the heavens. “People have sent messages into space before, NASA has sent messages into space, but it’s never really been done by or open to the public like this,” he See LAUNCH, Page 7

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 | June 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

around town Comedian to headline at Post Prom fundraiser Comedian Eric Lyden, a 1989 graduate of Ewing High School, will be returning to his hometown to bring some humor into the lives of his former classmates. Lyden is donating his time and talent to raise money for the EHS Class of 2021 Parents Association event on Friday, June 7, in the auditorium at IncarnationSt. James to raise money for the class’ post prom. This is not the first time Eric has traveled back to Ewing to offer a helping hand. He has participated in fundraising events at Fisher Middle School and the Hollowbrook center. This, however, is the first time he’s performed at a church. “I guess I’ll have to take out my bit about growing up crystal Methodist,” he says. “Seriously, I am primarily sarcastic and mostly work clean. I might have to work a little cleaner so I don’t get struck down, but it won’t really impact my act.” Lyden, who graduated from EHS in 1989, grew up a block behind the school, and says he is excited when he can come back to Mercer County. He has been working professionally as a comedian for more than 20 years. He says that when he quit his day job to work full time as a comedian, he

The Ewing Pool Sharks of the Central Jersey Senior Billiard League suffered their first major loss last month. Unfortunately, that loss was something much more than just a pool match to a rival team. The Sharks lost their co-captain Mike Payne, affectionately known as “Big Mike, who died on April 20. Payne attended, but did not play in, the match with the Plainfield 8 Ballers on April 18—his birthday. He was there to cheer on his team (which Ewing won 22-17) and provide lunch. It is incumbent on the home team to provide lunch for all the players. He was not only a terrific pool player, but a gourmet chef too. When Payne passed away on April 20, the news rocked the team. The Sharks have decided to dedicate the 2018-2019 season in Payne’s memory. The Sharks have continued their winning ways, and were 15-0 to start the season. Last year, their inaugural, they were the first team to ever go undefeated, with a 20-0 record. –Bob Hess Visit Our Showrooms 2850 Brunswick Pike 10 North Main Street

Readers react to Elcon toxic waste plant proposal I'm writing to thank you for your article published in May about the toxic waste facility proposed for Bucks County. “Our new toxic neighbor” by Rob Anthes is crucial information with long-term and long-ranging ramifications. I had no awareness of the Elcon Recycling Services planning, and the only way I've become informed is thanks to your article. As someone relatively new to the area, I really appreciate your investigation. Anita Allyn

Thank you for your article about the proposed Elcon facility in Bucks County. As a 4.5-year resident of Ewing, I had no idea about it. My only question is: who do I contact to voice my opposition? Is it Ewing Township? Is it the Falls Township Board of Supervisors? Is it an agency in Pennsylvania? Is it my state rep? All of the above? Jennifer Ljungberg Anthes responds: While reporting this story, I found that most people in Mer-

cer County had no idea about the Elcon facility. It's mostly been folks in Burlington and Bucks counties speaking up about it. So, it may be worth calling town hall to say you are concerned about the toxic waste facility in Falls Township. The town most likely will pass your concern on to your state representatives, as the state has more power than the towns do. The good news is the two people who represent Ewing in the state Assembly are already on the case. Both Anthony Verrelli and Verlina Reynolds-Jackson have brought the issue up in the Assembly, but their bill has been stuck in committee for months. I'm sure their ofﬁce would be happy to hear from residents about this, and your calls might redouble the Assembly's efforts on the Elcon issue. You can also go to one of the parties responsible for deciding the project’s fate. PADEP has opened a public comment period between June 1 and July 15. The agency will review and address comments in a public document. All comments should be emailed to RA-EPHWELCON@pa.gov. For an update on the project turn to Page 13.

LAUNCH continued from Page 1 says. It’s an idea that might have been teased into life as Rego watched that cherry-red convertible take off for the final frontier, but it began with a lifetime of devouring astronomy books, consulting sky maps, and a gaze that is constantly drifting skyward. “I’ve always been interested in space,” Rego says. “As a kid, I had telescopes and books about outer space and the Hubble Space Telescope; now, I have an app on my phone called Sky Map. I’m always looking up at the stars. And when I watched that red Tesla go into space, it got my wheels spinning. I started thinking about what I could launch into space, too.” It was that love of space combined with a desire to make the outer reaches feel a little more within reach for the majority of the population who will remain eternally earthbound that buoyed Rego through the long process of taking Launch-A-Wish from the nebulous ether of dreams to the extraterrestrial reaches beyond our pale blue dot. It was a journey filled with false starts and closed doors that proved to be rather challenging—even for Rego, a retired Ewing Police officer and owner of a local construction company who describes himself as possessing the entrepreneurial spirit: “Once I set my sights on something, I’m going for it.” “It was very difficult getting LaunchA-Wish started,” he says. “I would make phone calls and not know what terminology to use at first. And then I would get people who’d response with ‘You can’t just launch a memory capsule into space! Who are you!?’ “Then I started talking to companies that couldn’t help me directly but pushed me in the right direction—and once I knew how to sound professional by using the right terminology and getting in touch with the right people, doors began to open up. People started to realize that I was legitimate.” Two months into his quest to establish Launch-A-Wish, Rego found himself contracted with a space service company that had things like the flight modules his start-up needed to literally get off the ground. From there, the pieces keep falling into place, right on down to getting the LaunchA-Wish website (launchawish.com) up and running—a key component, as those who purchase a wish kit will utilize the site to input their unique user codes, interact with the program, and, ultimately, keep tabs on their space-bound wishes. “What’s really cool is that all the missions are trackable through our website, so we will be able to let people know where in the solar system their wish is,” Rego says, explaining how the codes accompanying each kit allow customers to set up their profile and user dashboards directly through the Launch-AWish website to track their far-ranging digital wishes, memories, and photos. Each kit includes a commemorative USB drive and coin specific to the mission, as well as a credit-card sized card with a scratch-off launch code, though the type of mission determines what kit the intended recipient receives. Launch-

Joe Rego (right), founder of Launch-A-Wish, stands with with company mascot “Launch,” played by Ewing resident Fredrick Neuberger. A-Wish currently offers three missions to those who want their wishes, memorials, messages of hope, and milestone observations to hop onboard a microchip enshrined within a memory capsule that’s destined for outer space via rocket or space vessel. The Earth Orbital option does literally what its name suggests, as the capsule will be affixed to a commercial satellite or rocket body bound for low-earth orbit, where it will circle the planet for the duration of the host’s orbital life. The first capsule will be integrated with SpaceX’s Falcon 9 and is expected to launch from California’s Vandenberg Air Force Base during the final quarter of 2019. The Moon Lander mission’s capsule will accompany the Moon Express MX-1E Robotic Explorer on its early2020 moon landing—the first NASAapproved private commercial moon lander, according to the Launch-A-Wish website, and “the first U.S. moon-lander since 1972,” according to Rego. It will remain on the lunar surface for as for long as our only natural satellite exists. The third option is the Deep Space mission, where a wish capsule and the commercial satellite it’s aboard will be launched from Cape Canaveral’s historic Kennedy Space Center into whatever lies well beyond the Earth and the moon. Rego says that the launch dates are different for each mission because Launch-A-Wish piggy-backs onto planned launches and each destination departs for space at different times. Because the microchip is integrated into each launched vessel, each mission creates zero space debris. But Rego isn’t just keeping his eyes on the skies: Just a month into LaunchA-Wish’s own official launch, he was able to leverage his longtime local ties to partner up with the Sunshine Foundation’s Mercer County chapter and do some good for the community. The Sunshine Foundation’s mission statement “is to answer the dreams of chronically ill, seriously ill, physically challenged and abused children ages three to eighteen, whose families cannot fulfill their requests due to financial

strain,” making it the fitting partner for a tech-startup built on reaching for lofty goals and letting wishes take flight. Rego, who has volunteered with the non-profit in the past, reached out to Sunshine’s Mercer chapter president Cathy DiCostanzo. The two worked to incorporate Launch-A-Wish into the organization’s annual Dream Lift to Disney World on May 7, where the foundation’s young benefactors were whisked away to Disney World (or another popular Orlando theme park, as dictated by children’s requests) for a day of living out their

dream vacations. “It made me feel great that the kids were going to be able to use our product to send their wishes and prayers and whatever else they wanted into space,” Rego says. While the first batch of wishes is waiting for the countdown to its corresponding launch day, Rego is heartened by the response he’s already seen from children’s casting their wishes into space, newlyweds commemorating their special days with digital photo albums, and grieving family members launching a lunar-bound memorial “and knowing that, every time they look up at the moon, their loved one is there.” “We see people from all walks of life wanting to participate,” he adds. “It was initially designed for kids but it’s generic enough for everybody.” Rego says that “the future of LaunchA-Wish is definitely looking up” (no pun intended, he swears), and that while the company is still starting out, he already would love to add a Mars mission to its locational roster. For now, though, he’s content knowing that helping people make a big deal out of their biggest wishes might help them carry that hope with them—and help nurture it into fruition. “When you make a wish, you have a tendency to just forget about that wish— but if you launch that wish into space and keep track of it, maybe, just maybe, that wish that you launched is something you will be able to manifest into reality,” Rego says.

BEE continued from Page 1 figure who is a Catholic saint and hero. He was martyred in the time of Henry VIII, because he stood up for the church when Henry was bringing about the Protestant Reformation. “The moral message in Past Master is that in this future world the problem is that people have given up on religion are nihilistic and don’t have any moral values,” Bee said. And indeed, More is again martyred in this future world as he was in the past. Lafferty also created “Bagarthach verse” in his novel The Reefs of Earth, where alien immigrants to Earth occasionally speak in verse that follows an unusual set of rules: it must be funny or clever, but mean spirited; one quatrain long; with syllables in each line 8-9-8-9 or occasionally 8-8-8-8; and rhymed a-b-a-b. Laffcon sponsors a Bagarthach verse contest, and the three winning quatrains among the 30 submitted will appear in the convention booklet. The idea for the conference grew out of the Facebook page East of Laughter: An Appreciation of R. A. Lafferty, which Bee says is “in effect the Lafferty Fan Club.” Some group members had read an article Bee wrote on Lafferty and wanted to republish it. The ensuing conversation sparked the idea for the first Laffcon in 2016. Explaining the motivation for the conference, Bee says, “Although Lafferty does have a devoted cult following, he is not as widely known as many of us would like him to be.” Laffcon is organized mostly via email by a four-person committee, which this

All four co-chairs served as judges in the poetry contest. Last year Tomaino was on a panel about the Lafferty novel Fourth Mansions, and this year he will be on a panel titled “High Purpose of the Gallant Band: The Reefs of Earth.” Organizing has mostly involved approaching potential unpaid speakers.

says. Committee members take on other responsibilities, like editing the Laffcon booklet and organizing the conference art show, which this year includes three artists, Anthony Rhodes, Lissanne Lake, and Yakov Varganov, exhibiting 25 items. Bee, who calls Lafferty “a writer’s writer,” says his first taste of the author was in the 1990s reading the novel Past Master. “I think part of what originally attracted me to Lafferty is that I’d start laughing out loud at various passages and occurrences,” Bee said. Describing Lafferty’s work as “a combination of science fiction, tall tales and an almost oral fiction, with an element of Mark Twain,” Bee says he was drawn to “the imagination of it, the uniqueness of it.” Lafferty, born in 1914, began writing in his 40s and published his first story in 1960. “He was a prominent part of the science fiction new wave in the 1960s and 1970s,” Bee says. Earlier science fiction had been “written very clearly and plainly, in a matter of fact language and tone— it was written to communicate, with no effort to make the language stylistic.” In the 1960s science fiction authors, taking their cues from writers like William Faulkner and James Joyce, “started to incorporate linguistic experimentaFront tion” as part of the “new modernism.” In Lafferty’s work, Bee says, “there

would be puns, literary references and plays on words. Rather than just being simply or clearly written, there is a lot of literary experimentation with language.” For Tomaino, who generally prefers “a story plainly told,” Lafferty’s writing has an unusual style that he says “I wouldn’t even tolerate for other writers.” Lafferty’s stories wander, he says, and “you’re not quite sure what he means— you really have to think about it.” Each year the conference, which has attracted people from as far as Europe and Japan, focuses on a different novel, the choice this year being The Reefs of Earth. Events include a talk by Andrew Ferguson, a PhD candidate in English at the University of Virginia who has an upcoming biography of Lafferty, speaking on “Virtue Forever Green: Twelve Years on the Trail of R. A. Lafferty”; one by Matt about Lafferty in New York, focusing on his relationships with publishers; and a panel on strategies for interpreting and understanding Lafferty’s fiction. A Gene Wolf podcast, focusing on the short story “Narrow Valley,” will be broadcast live from the convention. Bee grew up in Monroe, Louisiana, where his mother was a secretary and his father worked in a warehouse. He graduated from University of Louisiana at Monroe with a bachelor’s degree in English. He earned a master’s in English and a few years later a master’s in library science, both at Rutgers University. Bee taught English at St. Mary’s Catholic High School in South Amboy, from 2000 to 2001, at Roselle High School from 2001 to 2002, and at Holmdel High School from 2002 to 2004. After earning his library degree, Bee managed the East Trenton Public Library from 2007 to 2011, then moved to the Mercer County Library system. From 2011 to 2019, he taught computer classes and did reference work at the Lawrence branch and has been manager of the West Windsor branch since December. Aside from science fiction, which he says is his “principal hobby,” Bee enjoys micro-brewed beer and in particular River Horse in Ewing, which is right around the corner from his house. For readers curious about the R.A. Lafferty phenomenon, Tomaino suggests starting with the short story collection Nine Hundred Grandmothers and novels like Past Master and Fourth Mansions.

Nationally Recognized Trauma Care for More Than 20 Years Capital Health Reverified as Level II Trauma Center The Bristol-Myers Squibb Trauma Center at Capital Health Regional Medical Center (RMC) has been recertified as a Level II Trauma Center by the Committee on Trauma of the American College of Surgeons (ACS). This achievement is the eighth verification for Capital Health since the first in 1998. The Center, also designated as a Level II Trauma Center by the New Jersey Department of Health, is one of only 10 designated trauma centers in New Jersey and the regional referral center for injured patients in Mercer County and adjacent parts of Somerset, Hunterdon, Burlington, and Middlesex counties as well as nearby areas of Pennsylvania. “The ACS is the largest association of surgeons in the world and an important advocate for all surgical patients,” said DR. DOMINICK EBOLI, director of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Trauma Center at Capital Health Regional Medical Center. “After a successful review of our performance and resources by nationally recognized trauma experts, this recertification shows the residents of our community that when they need us most, Capital Health meets the highest standards for treating severely injured patients.”

The Full Spectrum of Care According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, injury is the third leading cause of death in the United States. Care provided in a trauma center decreases the chance of death following injury by 25 percent compared to care in general hospitals. In addition to providing the necessary resources for trauma care, ACS level II verification also means that centers like the BristolMyers Squibb Trauma Center address the needs of injured patients across the entire spectrum of care, providing patients at Capital Health Regional Medical Center with access to important injury prevention programs, prehospital care and transportation, acute hospital care, rehabilitation, and research. “Through programs and resources not available in most general hospitals—including 24hour immediate access to trauma surgeons and other specialists—we are able to provide comprehensive care that begins at the time of injury and continues through rehabilitation,” said DR. DENNIS QUINLAN, associate medical director of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Trauma Center.

UNDERSTANDING BRAIN TUMOR SYMPTOMS signs to guide you to the right plan for care Brain tumors, while relatively rare, do not discriminate, affecting men, women, and children across all age groups and ethnicities. And because the brain is the critical organ that controls all others, it’s important to recognize the signs that may suggest a brain tumor and discuss them with your health care team. “The many parts of the brain control different body functions, so symptoms will vary depending on tumor location, type, and size,” said DR. NAVID REDJAL, director of Neurosurgical Oncology at the Capital Health Center for Neuro-Oncology. “However, there are some common symptoms to watch for which, if ongoing, may indicate the presence of a brain tumor. Anyone experiencing one or more of them over an extended period of time should see their doctor to get an accurate diagnosis.”

COMMON BRAIN TUMOR SYMPTOMS INCLUDE: Headaches: A persistent, progressive pain that is different from a migraine, does not respond to over-the-counter pain medication (like aspirin or ibuprofen), gets worse when lying down, and may be accompanied by vomiting or changes in vision. Seizures: In some cases, a seizure may be the first indication that a person has a brain tumor. Focal Progressive Symptoms: Localized symptoms—such as hearing problems, difficulty walking or speaking, or feeling clumsy—can often help identify the location of the tumor. Mass Effect: Occurs when a brain tumor presses on surrounding normal tissue, causing nausea and vomiting, drowsiness, vision problems, headaches, and behavior changes. Sudden Personality Changes/Cognitive Changes/Memory Loss: A tumor may cause disruptions in normal brain function that lead to changes in a patient’s behavior and ability to reason, remember, and learn. “At the Center for Neuro-Oncology, our advanced technological resources and multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment are just as important as the compassionate and individualized care we provide,” said Dr. Redjal. “If a person experiences new symptoms or changes to existing ones, talking to your doctor is an important first step.” The Center for Neuro-Oncology, part of Capital Institute for Neurosciences and Capital Health Cancer Center, is a referral center for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer involving the brain and spine. The Center is housed in stateof-the-art facilities where patients have access to an experienced and caring team of physicians, nurses and staff who work closely with referring physicians to facilitate rapid and thorough evaluations and recommendations for patients and their families. In addition to providing advanced, neuro-oncologic and neuroscience care, the Center participates in clinical trials to help fight and find cures for cancer.

TAKE CHARGE of controllable factors to reduce your stroke risk On average, a stroke occurs every 40 seconds in the United States. Every four minutes, someone dies of stroke. These are sobering statistics from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, but there is some good news too. Approximately 80 percent of strokes are preventable, so it is important to understand stroke risk factors, particularly those factors that are in your control. There’s nothing you can do to change factors like your age, gender, race, family history, or previous incidences of stroke or heart attack, but if any of them increase your risk of stroke, they can be good motivation to learn about what you can do to address controllable risk factors. Commit to a Healthier Lifestyle There are steps you can take right away to lower your risk. Get started by talking to your primary care doctor to learn about stroke screenings and how you can treat or manage controllable risk factors such as: • High blood pressure • High cholesterol • Heart/blood vessel disease • Cigarette smoking • Physical inactivity/obesity/poor diet • Diabetes mellitus • Atrial fibrillation • Sickle cell disease “Regular exercise and an improved diet, for example Mediterranean diet, will help you maintain a healthy weight and reduce stress, all of which help lower your stroke risk,” said DR. CHRISTIAN SCHUMACHER, medical director of the Capital Health Stroke Program and a board certified stroke neurologist at Capital Health. “Making sure you receive adequate treatment for high blood pressure or high cholesterol if you know you have it, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol intake also make a difference, and if you are taking medications to treat a condition that increases your risk of stroke, make sure you take it as prescribed.” Nationally Recognized Care at Capital Health Stroke and Cerebrovascular Center The Stroke and Cerebrovascular Center at the Capital Institute for Neurosciences is a major referral center for the treatment of all types of neurovascular diseases, including cerebral aneurysms, strokes, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs), cavernous malformations, carotid artery and vertebral artery atherosclerotic disease, intracranial stenosis as well as Moyamoya disease.

The only Joint Commission certified Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center in the region, located at Capital Health Regional Medical Center (RMC) in Trenton, provides emergency stroke and neurovascular services 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week. RMC was recognized as the best hospital for neurology and neurosurgery in the region in U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals for 2018-19. If You Think It’s a Stroke, Call 9-1-1 When a 911 call is received for symptoms that suggest a patient is having a stroke, Capital Health’s Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU) can be co-dispatched with basic and advanced life support services. Capital Health’s innovative MSU brings time-critical stroke care to patients at their home, or wherever the MSU goes to assess them. If the patient is experiencing an acute ischemic stroke, our specialized team can initiate intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) to help break up the clot while he or she is taken to the hospital for additional care. This saves time and, more importantly, lives. To learn more about our Stroke and Cerebrovascular Center, part of the Capital Institute for Neurosciences, visit capitalneuro.org.

PADEP hands a fresh setback to toxic waste treatment plant

DON’T LET THE STATE TAKE YOUR ESTATE

By ROB anTHeS The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection came out against an application for a proposed toxic waste treatment facility in Bucks County May 15, saying it had “a number of outstanding deficiencies.” PADEP’s Notice of Intent to Deny comes after completing a 10-month technical review of materials submitted by the applicant, Israel-based Elcon Recycling Services. Elcon wants 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. “After a rigorous review of the application, supplemental materials submitted by the company, and input from the public, DEP will not approve this application in its current form,” PADEP Secretary Patrick McDonnell said in a statement. “Unless the company can address these outstanding deficiencies, DEP will have no choice but to move forward with a full application denial.” PADEP, in its statement, was careful to point out that a Notice of Intent to Deny is not a final decision by PADEP. Elcon still may submit materials to address the deficiencies cited by PADEP. But, with the review over, members of the public now also have an opportunity to go on the record. A public comment period begins June 1 and runs until July 15, with PADEP required to acknowledge all comments its receives during the 45-day comment period. The agency will review and address each comment in a public document. All comments should be emailed to RA-EPHWELCON@pa.gov. The PADEP decision only applies to Elcon’s hazardous waste application. Elcon also has two additional applications for air quality and stormwater, which PADEP continues to review. In a document dated May 7, PADEP detailed 18 reasons why it could not accept Elcon’s hazardous waste application. Elcon’s miscues ranged from overstating the facility’s economic benefits to, in its plans, including buildings and infrastructure outside the site boundary. Of particular importance was PADEP’s discovery of an equivocation by Elcon regarding groundwater monitoring— company representatives had said Elcon would install a system to watch for accidental releases, but PADEP said the application stated Elcon would install groundwater monitoring only after a spill had already occurred. PADEP also dinged Elcon for being unclear in its application as to whether Elcon would accept certain types of waste, such as PCBs, at the Falls Township facility. PADEP’s announcement is the latest in a line of recent blows to the Elcon proposal. The Falls Township Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to

Ewing could suffer some of the the effects from the proposed Elcon toxic waste facility. (Graphic by Stacey Micallef.) reject the proposal during a special meeting April 30, prompting a standing ovation from the residents who packed the meeting at Pennsbury High School West’s Keller Hall. That vote came 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. Public opinion has long been against the Elcon proposal, but the opposition became louder and larger after the Hamilton Post published an investigation into Elcon, its history and its Falls Township proposal last month. The Falls Township and PADEP decisions came after the article’s release, as did a May 7 Hamilton Township council resolution opposing the facility. Before the council vote, Hamilton was one of just two neighboring municipalities to not have passed a resolution against Elcon. Trenton is now the lone holdout. The Elcon proposal isn’t dead, though. The company’s Falls Township proposal has been denied by PADEP three times already, once in 2015 and twice in 2017. Like those times, Elcon once again will have a chance to revise and resubmit its applications. 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.

Attorney raises awareness on end-of-life legalities

6 yards or more

Not valid for landscaping services. Cannot be combined with any other offers. Expires 6-30-19.

When attorney Kathleen Scott Chasar was diagnosed with cancer and immediately scheduled for surgery, there was little time to consider the legal aspects of the procedure, including getting hold of the most important document involved-a Living Will. As a specialist in family and elder law, Ms. Chasar certainly had this, a Last Will and Testament and directives giving power of attorney to a family member. “But in the midst of a devastating and unexpected diagnosis, paperwork was the last thing on my mind,” she says. During her recovery, Kathleen considered how many others might find themselves in similar circumstances, especially seniors. “A serious illness is overwhelming and exhausting,” she asserts. “Having an up-to-date Will, Living Will, and a trusted person with Power of Attorney, will do much to make this time easier for everyone concerned.” A Living Will is essential for anyone being hospitalized. It’s a health care directive that states the individual’s wishes for end-of-life care. Without it, physicians and family members will have no legal guidance as to what an uncommunicative patient would want. With a Living Will, patients can clearly state, beforehand, that they do not want to be resuscitated, put on life support, fed intravenously or given certain medications. Doctors must follow these orders and it is essential that someone be given the authority to see these wishes are carried out. “This is where a Living Will comes in,”

Summer Summer Summer Summer Music Music Music Music Camps Camps CampsCamps

Kathleen says. The patient appoints someone-an attorney, family member or friend-to ensure all conditions of the Living Will are met. These directives are not just for seniors. All adults should have a Living Will regardless of age. Living Wills are often attached to standard Wills but a 2016 survey found that across all age groups only 28.4 percent of Americans had up-todate Wills, while 8.6% had a Will but it was out-of-date. Sixty-three percent had no Will at all. “This is really alarming” says Kathleen Chasar. People put off making a Will, claiming they do not have anything to leave or assuming assets will automatically go to a spouse or children. This is not always the case. State policies vary, and New Jersey follows the “family tree” system, distributing assets among surviving spouses and children. But with no Will, and no living spouses or children, these assets could be distributed to a relative with whom you have had no contact for years. In cases of dementia, changes to a Will can be contested. “During the initial onset of dementia, the patient and family members should review all documents with an attorney while the patient can still make decisions,” Kathleen advises. Dementia patients have days when they understand their situation and can make decisions before their condition worsens.” Now recovered and back in her Ewing law office, Kathleen Chasar is on a mission to raise awareness of these and other issues affecting estate planning and end-of-life choices. She holds seminars for community groups and is revising her website to reflect myriad changes in the law. “Proper preparation is key to making these unhappy situations less stressful for everyone. And it’s never too early to start.” Kathleen Scott Chasar. 903 Parkway Avenue. (609) 882-2200.

The Ewing Public Schools The Gusz Building: A Story of Shared Services

Most Ewing residents are aware that there is a strong shared services relationship between the school district and township government. This beneficial relationship is evident in many ways that make life better for Ewing community members, including providing facilities for recreational programming, shared projects and personnel, and money-saving initiatives. This rewarding affiliation was again on display earlier this year, as the new playground at the O’Brien Academy, the school district’s innovative alternative education setting, was opened. This playground was made possible by a contribution to the school district by Mayor Bert Steinmann from the township’s PILOT funds. But there is a testament to this shared services relationship that many people in Ewing may not even realize or recognize-the multi-use capability of the Gusz Building, located on the edge of the township’s border with Lawrence on Ewingville Road. Many school district parents make an initial visit to the Gusz building, as the facility is home to registration, but upon departing may never return again, and perhaps do not realize the growth, evolution and many uses of the site. The building was initially a winding factory, until it was acquired by the Board of Education in the late 1970s.

To celebrate the week of inclusion the EHS Art Club worked with the Unified Club to make spring crafts. It was a great event and we now have a new club at EHS, Unified Art Club!

It immediately became the home of the district’s facility and maintenance staff and food service department. Over the years, it has evolved to also house the technology and special services department, indeed with a revitalized server room at Gusz, it is the technological epicenter of the district. Harry Louth, the district’s Director of Operations, Special Services and Grant Management, serves as the site administrator at Gusz, a title that has earned him an affectionate nickname as the “Duke of Gusz.” “We have a hard-working team at Gusz,” Louth stated. “We may be a bit off the radar, but it is a building dedicated to serving the needs of the school community.” Earlier this decade, there was a development with Gusz that characterized the beneficial shared services agreement between the school district and the Ewing township government. The township shut down one of their facilities on 4th Street, and moved equipment and supplies over to Gusz. “This was a very beneficial development,” Township Administrator Jim McManimon commented. “It enabled us to save a considerable amount of money, and the Gusz site is a much better, far more advantageous location for us.” Each year, the township has made a contribution from PILOT funds to the school district. Last year, those funds went towards the desired playground at the O’Brien Academy. This year, those funds will go towards much-needed improvements at the Gusz Building. “We all believe that what our community members want to see is the township and school district working together,” Mr. Louth stated. “The Gusz Building is another excellent example of that here in Ewing, and we are appreciative of the support of the township in making it even better.”

Hip Hop 4 Health Thank you ETS! Lore’s students witnessed a breakdancing battle, helping performers from Young Audiences decide whether to eat pizza or a hummus and vegetable salad, whether to drink a sports drink or water, or what to do with free time after school. Students had a blast learning about the benefits of healthy eating and the need to choose physical activity over video gaming. The presenters’ message was clear, it’s okay to have snacks and play video games sometimes, but it is important to make wise decisions to keep our bodies healthy and our energy levels high. Students enjoyed doing the sandwich dance and water dance with the hip hop artists. Thank you to Educational Testing Services who worked with the Lore Parent Association to bring this exciting assembly to Lore School.

Antheil's Helping Hands Club exemplified all that they have learned throughout the school year by putting their leadership and community service skills to the test! Under the supervision of Mrs. Lippincott, the students were responsible for organizing and executing their own community service project. After deciding to run a Pet Supply Donation Drive, our 5th grade student leaders spent a month developing objectives, brainstorming ideas to draw in donations and then successfully carrying out their plans. After a successful collection period, Antheil's Helping Hands Club donated three bins of supplies to EASEL Animal Shelter in Ewing. We are so proud of our students!

FMS, Aaron Clugston-Brecko (Grade 7) has won the NJ School Counselor Association's "Most Resilient Student Award"! Aaron was one of only 5 students in the entire state to be chosen.

Ewing Schools Celebrate Earth Day In a BIG Way!

To commemorate Earth Day at Antheil School, students in Mr. Callahan's class at Antheil School went on a nature walk to search for items such as grass, dirt, clouds, leaves, flowers, trees, and animals. Afterwards, students picked up trash from the playground and parking lot around Antheil School to do their part of keeping the earth clean and beautiful. Look at all the trash they collected in just 15 minutes! These students want to share the message that "everyone can do a little to make a big difference”! Treat every day like Earth Day! The Lore School preschoolers brainstormed several ways that they can help the Earth and discussed what they would like to do to "Go Green". They enjoyed sharing what they love most about the Earth, while decorating their

very own litter bags. Preschoolers used their litter bags to collect all the litter they could find on the school property. They were so excited to help the Earth and willingly collected all of the litter to make the Earth, their teachers, and themselves happy and proud! At Fisher Middle School Mrs. DeBaun's, Ms. Fitzgerald's, and Ms. Cohen's classes joined up to celebrate Earth Day 2019. Their classes turned off the classroom lights and had class in the lobby area to conserve energy and decrease their greenhouse gas use. Throughout the day, students participated in "How Green is Our School?" activities by working together to think of ways our school and community could help the Earth. Just a few of their ideas included:

• Riding bikes and carpooling to school. • Switching to reusable trays and flatware in the cafeteria. • Planting edible gardens and composting. • Having reminders to turn off light switches and unplug appliances when not in use. • Creating ways for the community to donate unused items and supplies, rather than buying new items. • Using more natural light in the classrooms.

Teams created posters (on recycled paper, of course) to display their ideas and encourage others to help out. At the end of the day, the students left with their own basil plant in a biodegradable pot to grow at home.

Senior Spotlight: Meet Anna Gaylord What do you like best about Ewing High School? My favorite part about Ewing High School is the community. Especially the 'feeling’ you get attending a Friday night football game or a basketball game and seeing everyone come together to support and represent Ewing. I like that Ewing is an “everyone knows everyone” kind of small town. Now that you are graduating Ewing High School, what words of wisdom would you bestow upon the underclassmen? “Everything happens for a reason.” Though you may not think so in the moment, sometimes things are meant to fall apart so that better things fall together. There have been moments in my life that I never thought were going to have a positive outcome, but looking back I could never have gotten where I am today without these moments. Looking back on your 4 years at EHS, what is the one event would you not have missed? I would not miss Prom. I think it is an opportunity for the senior class to really be ‘one’ before graduation where we then go our separate ways, while also all looking our best.

Who is your favorite teacher(s) or coach why? In my four years the best teachers I had were my English teachers, Mr. Besler, Mrs. Masterson, and Mrs. Ginsburg. Though I loved almost all of my teachers at Ewing, what I loved most about my English classes was that my teachers taught me how to think on a deeper more intellectual level which will prepare me for college and for the rest of my future. In which activities do you participate? I have participated in Cheerleading for 6 seasons, 4 fall seasons and 2 winter seasons. I am a part of Student Council, the Peer Leadership Program, and I am a member of National Honor Society. Outside of school I am a Girl Scout and for the past two years I have gone to Haiti on missionary trips through my church.

What is your favorite book? My favorite book was Fahrenheit 451 mostly because I read it in one of my favorite classes but I also like the message Ray Bradbury portrays. He alludes to the idea that our society as readers has similarities to that of the dystopia in the novel and uses it as a warning for readers to be aware of what is going on in the world around us.

EHS Students Participate in Congressional Art Show

How do you define success? I define success as working hard and reaching goals to look back and realize that all the effort put in was very much worth it. What are your plans after you graduate? After I graduate I will be going to Fordham University in the fall. I chose Fordham because of its options, they have one campus in the Bronx and one in Manhattan and I am able to take classes at both campuses. I will be studying Communications and Fashion Studies while also possibly minoring in Business with the goal in mind of someday owning my own fashion company.

Each year local district 12 congress representatives holds a Congressional Art Competition for their high school constituents. The following students have submitted works of art to their District Congresswoman, Bonnie Watson Coleman: LeeAnn Cleckner, Meredys Diaz-Francis, Ava Grapski and Alyssa Phillips. The invite only awards ceremony was held on May 10, 2019.

Shortstop Allen an important cog in EHS softball lineup By JuSTIn FeIl Even though Haley Allen has plenty of games ahead of her in college, she wanted to ensure that her Ewing High School softball career ended on a high note. The senior shortstop is one of the leaders that has brought along a Blue Devils team that put together its best games in the second half of the season. “We definitely have come together as a team,” Haley said. “It just connected. I didn’t know what happened. It all just connected.” A team pasta party when the team played card games and bonded may have helped. It also helped to have strong leadership at the top of the lineup and in key spots in the field to support the team’s growth. “We were struggling,” said Ewing head coach Dan Bernoski. “We were 7-8 and then we started to play better. We won 7 of the last 9. If there’s such a thing as peaking, we’re peaking at the right time.” Allen has been an important piece at shortstop in the field and even bigger at the plate while batting third behind Devon Kueny and Jentle Sheridan. “They’re more speed, I’m more the power,” Allen said. “It starts the team up when they’re on. Devon has been my best friend for so long. When she gets on that gives me the confidence to get her in and get on.” Next year, they will be going their separate ways. Sheridan is a junior who will return, but Kueny, the Blue Devils pitcher this season, likely will play outfield at Dickinson College while Allen will join both the soccer and softball teams at the Mercer County Community College. “It wasn’t my plan to play soccer in college, but I got a scholarship for both,” said Allen, who played a forward for Ewing’s soccer team last fall. Allen has always put a little more time into her softball, and she has relished the final chances to play with her Ewing High softball teammates. She has grown every year for the Blue Devils. Allen, who plays travel softball for the Ewing Edge, broke into the varsity as a sophomore, then jumped into a regular starting role last year. She’s played catcher and this year she’s been at her favorite position, shortstop. She’s brought a big bat to the order and has been an example of what progress looks like. “We told them at the beginning of the year, you have to set goals,” Bernoski said. “She was in the mid-20s in hits last year. She’s at 30 right now.” Allen’s first 30 hits of the season reflect some of the power that has her batting third. Ten of her 30 hits are doubles and another is a triple. The only

Senior Haley Allen poses for a photo during a recent game. thing that’s missing is a home run. She hit two dingers as a junior, including a grand slam in the Central Jersey Group 3 state tournament. “Definitely doing extra drills has helped me,” Allen said. “Coach is a wonderful coach. He doesn’t nitpick. He gets down to it and goes right at it. He never puts you down. He’s always positive.” That consistent approach helped to push Ewing’s lineup in the right direction over the latter portion of the year. There has been team-wide improvement. “We weren’t hitting the ball the way we’re hitting the ball now,” Bernoski said. “We were struggling. We weren’t getting much from the bottom of the lineup. This past week, we were getting some help.” The Blue Devils picked up a huge confidence builder when they edged Allentown, 2-1, a week before facing them in the first round of the states, a game which they won 11-4 on May 15. The team lost in in the Central Jersey Group 3 quarterfinals, 8-0, to Burlington Township on May 21. Allen said she is was pleased with the way Ewing played down the stretch. It means a to her to be able to play a few more games together with a team that’s improved drastically over her final scholastic season. Getting a few more games together is all any of the seniors want. “It definitely gives us way more motivation and heart to play as a team,” Allen said. “From our seniors, we tell the other players not only play for the team but play for us. Come and leave everything out there.”

Frank Woolford Alice Alice was adopted in Aug. 2018 from a family who did not have time for her. She was then living with a Jack Russell Terrier in her new home, but the other dog is jealous of Alice. Also, She is too strong for the family to walk on leash, and she has dug out of their yard. So now Alice finds herself with Easel and is looking for her perfect, forever home. She loves being outdoors and needs to get outside where she can run (she is breathtakingly beautiful when she runs!). She would have a happier life with someone who has a large enough, secure property where she can run freely..and where she can enjoy her owner’s love and attention. Alice would love to go jogging and hiking.

Charlie Hi, I’m Charlie! I lost my home when my owners were evicted, but they brought me here to EASEL so I could find a new home.

Vernam’s Dairy Farm, part two By Helen Kull Last month, we left John Vernam Jr. being forced to sell his dairy business to the Crane Milk Company of Philadelphia, due to the expense of meeting newly-passed pasteurization laws in the midst of the stock market crash and Depression. Additionally, sellers were required to refrain from competing with Crane for two-years. Vernam’s life was certain to change. But as son William Vernam wrote in his memoir years later about the family dairy business, “the Crane Milk Company delivered a poor product, and business fell off, precipitating bankruptcy.” Vernam filed suit against Crane, and although he did not prevail, he was compensated with two trucks. Once the twoyear period of non-competition was over, both Vernam and his brother, Arthur, continued with separate dairy businesses, sub-dealing raw milk and their own product labeling to Hendrickson’s Dairy on North Olden Avenue near Prospect Street, which then pasteurized and bottled the milk. Meanwhile, Lillie and John Vernam Sr. moved to a home in the developing area of Hillwood Lakes, and their Shabakunk Road farm was sold to butcher Otto Kundel, who raised beef cattle. The land would eventually be sold to the township for playing fields and the location of Antheil School. Vernam and his wife, Etta, continued living at 500 Ewingville Road, where the milk house was fitted with a large walkin refrigerator. Sadly, Etta died in 1934. John later married Lina Wrenn, and together they ran the dairy. Both Vernam and his brother’s dairy businesses continued to grow through the late 30s and even during the war years. After the war ended, Vernam’s

sons William and John III joined their father’s business, producing and delivering milk. Perhaps it should be clarified here for younger readers that there was a time when milk—and later other dairy products—were quietly and efficiently delivered to your door a few times a week, and not by Amazon! A family would contract with the “milkman” to deliver a checklist of items on the next scheduled delivery day, to take back empty bottles, and leave freshly filled ones in an insulated metal box at your door. Each milk company had several routes which served different parts of the town or area. In the growth period following the end of the war, these routes grew in length and number. Additional items were added for delivery: differing grades of milk, eggs, butter and cottage cheese. In the 1950s, homogenized milk became popular and was also offered. For the next decade or more, Vernam’s Dairy continued to thrive. Accounts were added, products added, routes expanded and smaller, local milk delivery routes were consolidated into the business. Some of the local farms and routes eventually contributing to Vernam’s Dairy were Ed Jones’ farm on Pennington Road across from Green Lane, John Scudder’s Oakland Farms (with his own bottling plant) on Sullivan Way in West Trenton, and delivery routes from Horace Eggert, Louis Eggert and Lester Leisch. Vernam purchased his brother Arthur’s business, and in 1955, Vernam and his two sons formed an equal partnership in the Vernam Dairy business. Deliveries of more than 600 quarts of milk began to be on alternate days instead of daily, with Sundays off. The business continued to grow, expanding beyond retail home delivery to wholesale delivery to stores, schools and restaurants. When the owners of the local processing plant, Hendrickson’s Dairy, decided to retire in the 1960s, Raritan Valley Farms in Somerville assumed the role, renting the space formerly owned by Hendricksons. However, Raritan was not willing to use the Vernam Dairy labeling and bottles. Vernam Dairy milk was now in bottles with Raritan labels. By 1966, the Vernams sold their delivery routes to Raritan, which continued to employ their employees. But relatively soon thereafter, Raritan went into bankruptcy and the Vernams sought other employment. By the late 60s, retail home delivery of milk was rapidly waning, farmland locally had largely disappeared, and “the times, they were a-changing.” *** Again, I am indebted to Carol Vernam Hill and the Vernam family for sharing their family memoir with me for the purpose of this column.
