Pollinator partners

Hello, goodbye

Habitats for feeding pollinators are being set up in two Ewing locations By MicHele alPeRin Ewing Township and Mercer County have teamed up on a pilot project, the Partners of Pollinators initiative, to creating habitats to feed pollinators on municipal lands. “The idea is that the county would partner or work with organizations that own and manage public space but not [space] owned by the county,” says Jennifer Rogers, Mercer County naturalist since 2008. The work raises an important

question. Why are pollinators vital? According to the U.S. Forest Service website, about 90 percent of all flowering plants need the help of animals and insects to move pollen from flower to flower for the production of fruits and seeds. “Of the estimated 1,330 crop plants grown worldwide for food, beverages, fibers, condiments, spices, and medicines approximately 75 percent are pollinated by animals,” states the website. Pollinators are mostly insects like bees, wasps, moths, butterflies, flies and beetles, but they also include as many as 1,500 species of vertebrates, such as birds and mammals. A number of important polli-

nators are facing extinction, in part due to a reduction in habitats where they feed. In an effort to help combat this, the Ewing Green Team and the Environmental Commission created a pollinator garden last year in the central courtyard of the Ewing Senior and Community Center. Meanwhile, Mercer County has been creating acres of pollinator habitats as it restores its parks—in response to the “alarming rate” at which populations of pollinators have been decreasing, said Mercer County executive Brian Hughes in a press release announcing the POP initiative. Rogers says that the county wanted to expand the program See POLLINATOR, Page 8

Have clarinet, will travel Retirement has given Ewing’s Jerry Rife more time to play his music By MicHele alPeRin For some, retirement offers a chance to pursue new experiences and move back-burner projects to front and center. But Ewing resident Jerry Rife left his position as professor of music and nine-year chair of the fine arts department at Rider University because, he says, “it was time; you just know.” Since his retirement, Rife has not had to look much beyond his continuing involvement in

music as a clarinetist and conductor. But the extra time does enable him a daily regimen that includes walking, followed by breakfast, then practicing clarinet. “If you do that,” he says, “you keep improving, and I’m getting better and better.” Both heredity and environment propelled Rife into music. His maternal grandfather was a trumpeter, but it was his mother who insisted that each of her three children not only take piano lessons, but also that choose a band instrument. Rife wanted to play his grandfather’s trumpet, but that became impossible when he got braces. So in second grade in Millington, he asked his band director,

Irv Fenner, what instrument he should play and was handed a clarinet. Rife’s parents met when his father, Harold, worked as a cowboy on his future father-inlaw’s farm, where his mother’s job was to bring water to the cowhands on her pony. Rife was born in Manhattan, Kansas, where his father was studying entomology at Kansas State University. Rife moved to Scotch Plains when he was 18 months old after his father got a job in Cranford with Black Flag Insecticides. After graduating from Watchung Hills Regional High School in 1967, Rife returned See RIFE, Page 6

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

Ewing The CYO Pre-School… Ewing Green Team in conjunction with Ewing Township added two businesses—HomeFront and Surface Technology—to the ranks of its Green Business Recognition Program. The Ewing Green Business Recognition Program was started to both recognize and promote the work that local businesses have been doing to keep Ewing sustainable and environmentallyfriendly, and to incentivize local businesses considering becoming ‘green’ by demonstrating the positive results and reaction to sustainable practices. The program now totals eight businesses. HomeFront’s green projects include: the installation of a roof-top solar system, which lowered its energy costs by up to 40 percent; new LED lighting in all parking lot light fixtures; installation of energy efficient lighting and other upgrades in their garages using funding from the Direct Install program. “HomeFront models strong business recycling practices, donating unwanted furniture, other supplies and scrap materials to keep them out of our landfills, or using a waste exchange program,” states a Green Team press release. “Even their Break Room is not too small to merit their attention.

RIFE continued from Page 1 to his Midwestern roots. “I always loved Kansas. I always thought Kansas was where I grew up,” he says, recalling his family’s summer visits to his grandparents’ farm. Not such a great high school student, planned to forego college and instead work for McDonald’s—until his father suggested that he apply for college. He did and ended up at Kansas State, his father’s alma mater, where he assumed he was a legacy student. To Rife’s surprise, he “completely blossomed” in college. He declared entomology as his major but found himself “getting a D in botany and an A in music theory.” He sought advice from his father, who suggested he switch majors, and said to his son, “I trust you. Whatever you want to do, I’m sure you will make a career of it.” For Rife, that was like telling him: “You’re old enough to decide; you’re a mature person now.” Rife says, “That was so energizing for me—it was his stamp of approval. I thanked him on his deathbed for that.” Looking to teach high school band, Rife earned a bachelor’s degree in music education. But he decided to stay on to work with on a master’s in applied clarinet performance. At Kansas State he also met his wife, Leslie Davis, his “girl from Kansas” and a flautist, pianist and organist. For five years Rife taught band at junior high and high schools in small Kansas towns. Despite learning a lot and having many successes, he says, “the time came to decide if you wanted to stay and be a marching band concert conductor in Kansas or not, and I decided it was time to go back and get a doctoral degree.” While he was working on his PhD in musicology at Michigan State University, he was assigned to a professor teaching a music history class as part of his graduate assistanceship. The first day of class the professor told his 90 first-year students, “On Monday you are going to have a test

on the Greek musical modes [the musical scales of the ancient Greeks].” The students filed out “with terror on their faces.” That Sunday, while the professor was playing Felix Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March” as a bride and groom marched down the aisle, he had a heart attack and died on the keyboard. The dean asked Rife to take the Monday class. The first thing he told the students was that the test on Greek modes would be moved to Wednesday, and Rife proceeded “to explain what the modes are.” The next thing he knew the dean had asked him to take over all the professor’s doctoral-level music history classes. Rife agreed, but asked in exchange that he be given the title of assistant professor rather than instructor. The dean agreed. “That was the biggest event of my life. Michigan State was Big 10,” Rife says. An assistant professor of musicology, teaching baroque music at the doctoral level, with experience directing bands, teaching musicology, and playing clarinet, Rider University was happy to hire him in 1984. Characterizing his tenure at Rider as “a golden time,” Rife says he developed connections with area musicians, taught students in classes like music of the theater and history of opera and musical theatre; and created new classes. One was titled “arts abroad,” where students would travel between semesters to study the arts and culture of London and one other European city. He also combined his loves of music and movies to create his favorite class on film music. Rife was also involved in welcoming the faculty from Westminster Choir College after it became the School of Music of Rider University in the early 1990s, and he taught graduate-level musicology courses to Westminster students. In 1985 Rife and his wife joined the 129-year-old Blawenburg Band, the oldest continuously performing band in New Jersey, which he says “is from the era when every town had their own band.” Back then, when the band included 18 people and met in Blawenburg, he played clarinet and his wife flute. A half-year later, the conductor retired and Rife was invited to take his place. Today the band has 80 musicians, Rife says, “at all different levels of ability, but we are all one wonderful, beautiful family—we love to play and make music together.” Having learned to improvise as a child, even before he could read music, Rife says he has always played jazz. “In the early 60s when everyone was excited about Elvis and the Beatles, I was interested in traditional Dixieland jazz.” In high school he formed a jazz band with trumpet, trombone, clarinet, and rhythm that competed live on the nationally broadcasted Ted Mack’s “Amateur Hour” in a television studio in New York City. Five or six acts would compete over a half hour, but even with the help of votes from Rife’s Kansas relatives, a “flaming twirler” won the contest. Jazz has continued to be part of Rife’s life. At Kansas State he joined a band of “adults”—faculty, adjuncts, and townies—replacing a sick clarinet player. At Michigan State he formed six-piece

Ewing resident Jerr y Rife plays a clarinet solo during a recent show. traditional Dixieland band, the Great Lakes Rhythm Kings, which played for six summers at Fish Creek, in Door County, Wisconsin, a little peninsula and summer tourist destination that separates Lake Michigan from Green Bay. The band played six nights a week, four hours a night, for 11 consecutive weeks. “If you talk about the 10,000 hours you need to become an expert, there they are,” Rife says. Recalling those summers, Rife says band members lived together in a farmhouse in the country—“a little commune thing”—and during the day would hike, swim, go sailing, or join clients on their big yachts. When Rife moved to New Jersey, he gathered the best musicians he could find and in 1984 formed Jerry Rife’s Rhythm Kings. “They are all alive and are fantastic musicians,” he says. “I’m so lucky to stand next to them because they make me sound good.” Rife’s daughter, Whitney, 33, definitely got the music gene, although she works professionally as a marketer in Philadelphia. At age 3, Whitney, refer-

ring to a neighbor who was taking piano lessons from her mother, told Rife’s wife, “I’m going to take my piano lesson today. My name will be Katie.” Then Whitney proceeded to go outside and rang the bell. When Leslie said, “Whitney, come in,” Whitney insisted she was Katie, and wouldn’t come back in until her mother said, “Katie, come in.” For Whitney, that started piano lessons with her mother that continued through high school. Rife also taught Whitney to play the clarinet. But when Whitney went to college and was asked whether she would be a music major, Rife recalls her saying, “Are you kidding? I’ve seen what a music major can do.” Life has treated Rife well. “I am happy in Ewing; I have my Blawenburg Band family, deep ties with Rider, wonderful musicians to make music with, and great neighbors,” he says. But a big surprise really put the cherry on top of his contented retirement. He got a call from the father of two children who had taken clarinet lessons from him, inviting Rife to be a lifetime Bell Fellow at the John Bell Institute for the Foundations of Physics, which he was forming in Croatia. The idea was that Rife, along with a guitarist, “be the face of culture” at an institute of internationally known physicists and mathematicians. Rife thought that call “would be the end of it”—until he got emails inviting him to the first meeting. He flew first class to Zagreb, all expenses paid, and stayed at the Hotel Esplanade, which hosted travels on the Orient Express. He and the guitarist played in the Esplanade dining room and, Rife recalls, “The physicists were blown away,” Rife recalls. His lifetime appointment means he can visit the new institute building on the island of Hvar off the coast of Croatia any time and is also paid a yearly stipend. Rife says, “I thought when I retired, ‘I won’t be going to Europe anymore.’ Life is so exciting. You just stand still with your ears and eyes open, and it just presents itself. It’s a beautiful thing!”

POLLINATOR continued from Page 1 to municipalities, and found a ready partner in the Ewing Green Team. They created POP as a pilot project to convert two half-acre Ewing municipal lawn spaces—one in front of the ESCC and another in the park in the Village on the Green development—into native wildflower meadow habitats. They chose the senior center site because it gets so many daily visitors, who will see the butterflies and bees enjoying the meadow. “What a great way to incentivize people to do more of it on their home properties,” says Joanne Mullowney, Green Team chair. Mullowney, a retired librarian, is excited about the POP program, which allows the county to extend its efforts in habitat restoration. Partnering municipalities receive a lawn-to-meadow conversion on municipally owned land in exchange for an agreement to maintain the created habitat for at least 10 years. The meadows will include native wildflowers and grasses. The $2,900 cost to create the

meadows will be covered by the Mercer County Open Space Trust Fund. “Scientists have found that native plants provide what wildlife need. Most insects are very species-specific as to what they will eat—they only like to eat the things they coevolved with over the centuries,” Mullowney says. Insects may not recognize a nonnative plant as food, and if certain insects do not have native plants to eat they will disappear from the food chain. Mullowney adds that native plants “have evolved to deal with the stresses of normal conditions—lack of rain at times and over-rain at times. They don’t need water because they have evolved without it.” Whereas the nonnative astilbe droops if there is no rain, she says, a very similar native plant, goat’s beard, does not. But the goat’s beard also has its downside—“it doesn’t have all the nice colors that astilbe has.” Native grasses, whose root systems go much deeper than the shallow roots of most lawn grasses, offer their own advantages. “The roots go down to the subsoil and can bring up nutrients from way down to feed the grass,” Mullowney says. “Also, they hold onto water so you don’t get a lot of runoff of chemicals into sewers and streams that then need to be processed.” Rogers expressed excitement that

“Ewing has been an extremely enthusiastic partner—so much so that they are putting forth funding to perform an additional half-acre of meadow conversion at Village on the Green.” She estimates the cost for a half-acre to be about $1,500 for a half-acre, but quickly adds, “The amount of money that gets saved with mowing, gas, chemicals, and staff time to mow weekly ends up paying for itself in a few years.” Because both proposed wildflower meadows in Ewing were initially lawns, the first step in the conversion is to kill the lawn with an herbicide to create a “clean, blank slate to work with,” Rogers says. After giving the lawn time to die, they will plant an appropriate mix of native wildflower and grass seeds into crisscrossing slits in the ground. “The goal of these pollinator meadows is to have plants in bloom from mid-May through October so they are benefitting butterflies, beetles, bees and flies for the entire growing season,” Rogers says. The seed mixes also include a variety of colors and blooming periods “to be aesthetically pleasing to the people using the park—in addition to being pleasing to bees and butterflies.” During a meadow’s first year, much of the plant growth happens underground in the roots, and many flowers generate only a very short cluster of leaves, close to ground level. Because the only plants that typically grow tall during that first year are leftover weeds, the meadow is mowed down to 8 or 10 inches when it is about 24 inches tall—usually two or three times

during that first season. “You are helping the warm season grasses establish their roots, and the small plants get access to sunlight,” Rogers says. After the first year, the meadow is mowed only once a year during the late fall or winter. “For the first couple of years we will try to do judicious weeding and make sure that no invasives get established,” Mullowney says. “Once the native plants take over, it should form a fairly good mat that is more impervious to infusion by foreign invaders.” Once the Ewing pilot project is complete, Rogers says, “we are hoping to be able to partner with other municipalities throughout Mercer County to continue growing the POP initiative, bringing some smaller-scale restoration to smaller lands, but producing an ecological benefit in those areas. You can take half an acre of land, and it will sustain a community of pollinating insects.” When Rogers first started working on transforming land to support pollinators, she says, “I wanted 2,020 acres of pollinator habitat in meadows by 2020.” That lofty goal was soon transformed to a more realistic one—that over the next six or seven years she would like each municipality in Mercer County to have a pollinator meadow. By putting meadows in areas that have more walk-through traffic, Rogers hopes to make even more people aware. “If people start seeing butterflies fluttering and hear the cute sound of bees buzzing as they are pollinating, if then the idea of using native plants trickles down, then

For the last half of his long life he was a local legend, and in his book, Quinn describes how he, at

age 10, encountered the then-ancient Herpin and became fascinated by him. There is very little evidence to suggest that Herpin was studied under rigorous scientific scrutiny that would say one way or another if his claim of not sleeping was true. If doctors who examined him made any records of such a study, they remain hidden from the eyes of history. It is plausible, however, that he did stay awake for a week straight at least. The current world record for a healthy person staying awake under scientific scrutiny belongs to Randy Gardner, who, as a 17 year old in 1964, stayed up for 11 days for a science fair project. Scientists have documented many ill effects that normal people endure when going without sleep. After 18 hours awake, many people experience impaired reaction times similar to being drunk. After 36 hours, the brain begins to lose its ability to make new memories. Some people even begin to experience hallucinations, confusion or symptoms similar to psychosis. At some point, the brain will go to sleep on its own for brief periods of time regardless of what the subject is trying to do. The phenomenon of “microsleep” has been blamed for numerous accidents. Scientists have also discovered that many people can be asleep while thinking they are awake. Those suffering from “paradoxical insomnia” will complain of insomnia, lying up all night aware of their surroundings, but when their brain waves are studied, turn out to be asleep after all. “Sleep state misperception” is one possible explanation for Herpin’s insistence on having not slept for years on end. Science does offer the extremely slim possibility that Herpin’s strange condition was at least partly real. In 1974, French sleep scientist Michel Jouvet studied a man suffering from a rare condition called Morvan’s Syndrome. Jouvet observed the 27-year-old man stay awake for four solid months. He never slept, but experienced vivid hallucinations for 20 minutes every night. From this study, Jouvet came to the remarkable conclusion that most of the disorders people experience while going without sleep were not the result of lack of sleep but the result of the body’s sleep system trying to force them into unconsciousness. According to Jouvet, this case disproved the scientific consensus that sleep is a vital function. Sleep… is “not necessary for life,” he wrote. “A man can read the newspaper, make plans on the future, play and win cards, easily find recent memories or old, learn a complex labyrinth and lay all night on a bed, in the dark, without having sleep” Listen to our podcast for more about Albert Herpin, and whether or not it’s possible he went decades without sleeping.

Robbins Pharmacy is more than just a place to get prescriptions 100% “If you think your pharmacy is just a place to pick up prescriptions and health care products, you’re missing some exceptional opportunities to improve your health and wellbeing,” says Jay Patel, owner of the Robbins Pharmacy in Ewing. “Today’s pharmacy should be a community healthcare destination, a wellness center and an educational resource for a diverse population with specific needs,” he says. That population spans families, students at The College of New t Jersey and a largecdemographic u d of seniors with issues such as o r p arthritis, diabetes, dementia, sleep disorders, bladder control and constipation problems and injuries from falls. College students suffer from different conditions: anxiety, depression, eating disorders, dlyand skin prescriptionfdrug abuse rien problems. As these conditions develop, so do a host of new medications, medical devices and therapies. “With tremendous advances in treatments and medications comes a great need for accurate information and professional assistance,” Patel affirms. Patel, a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, spent 20 years at a leading chain before purchasing the business two years ago from the Robbins family, which had, over 25 years, made the pharmacy an essential part of the community. The new management has expanded the business model into a resource that promotes wellness through a wide range of healthcare screenings and educational programs that meet these diverse and complex healthcare needs. Among them: Diabetes Prevention Program. Working with HabitNU, a nationally recognized health coaching program, The Robbins Pharmacy offers free seminars for patients who are at risk for diabetes, but not yet diagnosed with the disease. “According to the CDC, there are more than 100 million Americans with diabetes and 862,000 of them are New Jersey residents,” notes Jay Patel. “That’s 11.3 percent of the state population and in some US states, the rates as high as 15 or 17 percent.” Medication Synchronization.

This frethem eliminates the need for multiple trips to the pharmacy and lessens the possibility of running out of medications. Multiple Medication Review.

By reviewing medications, pharmacists can ensure they are taken correctly, recommend possible changes and help patients maximize the benefits ofttheir c prescriptions. p rodu m r a F Other services include immunizations, medication therapy management, multi-dose packaging, and delivery. Now part of the Medicine Shoppe® group, the Robbins Pharmacy has expanded to 10,000 sq. ft., including a Hallmark card and gift shop and a full-service U.S. Post Office. “We see ourselves as important members of each patient’s healthcare team,” says Jay Patel. “By making the pharmacy experience convenient, productive and above all, informative, we can be a true resource for the Ewing community.” Robbins Pharmacy, 2108 Pennington Rd.

Caleb Stokes, Rich Ross, Tywayne Reed and Obifunna Eziegbo. Tony Wynn was also named to the team but is away for the game. Strong was a three-year starter at middle linebacker. He was top three in tackles for Ewing in all three of his years. Strong is looking forward to playing another high school game before he continues his career at Becker College in Massachusetts. “It feels amazing,” Strong said. “High school is one experience you have and you like to continue and play one more last game with your boys.” He’s looking forward to trying to help the West all-star team continue its recent dominance. Ewing figures to have a say in the outcome with such a deep group. “In a game like this, all the talent that wasn’t let out during the season, I want to see let out,” Strong said. “Everyone didn’t meet up to expectations and show their talent all the time. Since we got selected to the all-star game we want to show all of it and prove ourselves.” Doggett also is looking forward to one final game with his Ewing teammates. He will continue his career at Valley

Forge Military Academy. “We get to play one more time together before we go off to college,” Doggett said. “This will be my starting point to see where I am before I go to college.” Doggett started for three years for the Blue Devils at strong safety. He was another of the team’s top tacklers and a dependable presence for the team. Doggett’s brother will be at the Sunshine game to support him. The brothers are tight and have a younger brother that they hope will be a good athlete when he moves up to EHS in another year. Doggett is going to do his part to set the bar high again with his last appearance representing Ewing. “First I’m going to set the tone,” Doggett said. “My safety coach, he always tells me set the tone, make a big hit, make an interception, make a big play and let them know Delvon Doggett is here.” Doggett and Strong tried to be good influences on the less experienced members of the Ewing team. They helped to bring along a group that will be the future leaders. “Towards midseason, we started to get it together,” Doggett said. “We showed by our actions for the younger people how it’s supposed to be done and how you’re supposed to be a team.” They relied on their own experiences to help. They had seen good leadership before them, and grew into their roles after stepping into the varsity lineup three years ago. “When I first started I was scared and

You learn a lot more skills and you’re not worried about what people think of you. There was a progression and the coaching helped a lot get me to senior year.” Strong got a later start to his career, but made up time quickly. He didn’t start playing football until eighth grade. “I stayed in the weight room and trained and got better as the years went on,” Strong said. “I proved myself when I went to high school.”

He always kept the goal of playing college football in the back of his mind. It motivated him to continue to develop as a player, and he will live out his dream following the Sunshine game. “I want to go to the next level and I’m excited to prove to my teammates what sort of player I am,” Strong said. “I want to help the team out when I come in as a freshman.” Doggett feels ready to take another step forward in his career as well. The ups and downs of the football and bas-

ketball seasons matured him into a solid leader. “The experience helped me a lot,” Doggett said. “When it comes down to football or basketball, you need mental toughness. When you’re mental toughness goes away, your skill goes away and you start losing it and don’t know what to do. Sophomore year, I watched the older kids. Junior year, I knew what to do and my confidence was up. And then senior year, it was my year to lead the team and show the younger kids below us how things are to be done to be a winning team.” Doggett tried to ask questions that younger players were afraid to. He showed what to look for and how to play, and proved to be one of the seniors that pushed the program to maintain a high standard. “Our coaches always told us this Class of 2019 is special,” Doggett said. “It meant a lot of things. It was (Besler’s) last year at Ewing as a coach. We all grew up together playing Pop Warner and playing with each other. He’s seen us develop as a group. “All of us had a tight bond. Coming from freshman to JV to varsity, he’s seen us grow not just as athletes but as young men. We always taught each other new things. And we stuck by each other’s sides through thick and thin.” The Sunshine Classic is another chance to add to their legacy. The Ewing players are looking to be leaders as they push for one last win together. “It’s a lot of competition we played against,” Strong said. “If we all come together, I think we’re unstoppable.”

Hello and welcome to the EASEL cat room! My name is Hailey and I am the resident greeter here in the cat room. I love saying hi to everyone who comes in and checking them out to make sure they pass inspection…and give me pets first. I was brought into EASEL with my mom, Lily. We came from a house that had a lot of other cats and dogs. My mom found her forever home and I miss her, but am super happy for her. My friends here at EASEL tell me I am like a dog…I like to follow them around the room to get more pets and treats, and I’ll do the same in my forever home.

Sampson and Delilah came in with their litter of puppies. Both dogs have wonderful temperaments and are very obedient. They walk nicely, sit easily, and give paw. Sampson even knows how to smile. Both dogs are about a year old, but are very calm for their age.

20Ewing Obser ver | July 2019

I’m writing this on June 8, having recently watched and listened to a variety of moving tributes on the 75th anniversary of D-Day. Memorial Day was only about two weeks ago, and when you read this, the 4th of July will be upon us. Many may not know that at one time in Ewingville, near the current Citgo Station, there stood a large sign: the Ewing Township Honor Roll, which listed those residents from the Ewingville area who had served in World War II. It was taken down in the 1950s, and stored in John Vernam’s barn for decades. A replica was later erected near the municipal building, but it was lost in a storm. So this month, the column honors those who have served to protect life in Ewingville and countless other places like it. The Ewing Township website lists the names of individuals from Ewing who fought in our nation’s wars. The names below are taken from the website. I cannot guarantee that this list is complete; there are likely some names missing, and for that I apologize. I am also aware that while it is likely that most of these veterans are no longer with us, some may still be alive, and even in the area. To all of those, a special salute and expression of deep thanks. I (as well as the Ewing Township Historic Preservation Society, on whose behalf I write these columns) am always interested to hear your stories and recollections of life in Ewing, including stories of military service. The Society has had programs on veterans in the past, and is certainly interested in sharing additional stories. If you wish to share your story with us,

Right before Mother’s Day every year, my husband George and I begin talking about our gardens. We discuss what to plant, what we should get rid of, what we should dig up and replant somewhere else (in other words, kill) and what new stuff we want. This year George wanted a garden bench. We had a concrete one for years, but it literally crumbled into pieces this winter, so he wanted to replace it with a sturdier model. He found a plain white bench online and ordered it, calling it his birthday present from me. Since this bench was supposed to be a gift for George, I figured I’d assemble it. After all, there was a seat, a back and two legs. How hard could it possibly be? And the instructions were only three pages long, unlike the encyclopedic volumes that often accompany other items. I laid out all the pieces, the hardware, the tools, the instructions and a cup of coffee on our patio. I was ready! It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, the radio was on, the dogs were happily prancing around the yard or lying down near me. Life was good. The seat was easy to put together. It was mostly assembled already. I just had to put a few brackety-looking things onto it. “I’ll be done this bad boy in an hour,” I smugly said to myself, leisurely sipping my coffee. Then it was time to assemble the back. Well, it became clear to me that the manufacturers of this bench intended to lull me into complacency with the seat, because these instructions looked like something that NASA had designed. It took me 20 minutes to locate and identify the hardware needed for this step. All of a sudden, it got hot outside. Gnats started swarming around me, I started sweating, and my legs and back started aching. What began as an easy task turned into a nightmare. This step required me to assemble the Front outlined bench legs. The instructions how to assemble one leg and directed me

to repeat the steps for the other leg. No big deal. I assembled the legs fairly easily. Time to do the seat back. After about an hour of struggling with a wrench, I finally called for reinforcements. George stopped his gardening and came over to help me. For some reason, the bolts would not tighten. Not with a socket wrench, not with a rachet wrench. Nothing. Another hour passed with us trying to figure out how to tighten these bolts. By this time, George and I were sore from squatting, sitting on the patio and getting up and down. We were trying to avoid standing, so we were scooting on our butts in order to move on the patio. George was getting impatient. I had moved from impatient, to almost crying, to borderline hysterical laughter. None of this was remotely funny, but in my heightened state of annoyance and burning muscles, I suddenly found everything uproariously hilarious. George did not concur. Finally, George invoked his father to help. My father-in-law, deceased for over 27 years, was a handyman of the first degree. The man could fix anything. Our family tends to call for dad for help when we can’t do something around the house. And it works. Call us all crazy, but it works. And it worked this time. The bolts began to tighten easily. Irony? Ghosts? You decide. Time to stand this baby up and attach the legs. Unfortunately, it appeared that I had assembled one leg upside down. So, we had to disassemble the leg and assemble it correctly. We were now in the 6th hour of assembling this stupid bench. We carried it over to its designated spot and plopped it down, tossed a flowerpot on it, and limped away, me shouting, “Happy birthday” to George. I am slowly getting over my hatred of the bench. I gaze at it every day, trying to erase the traumatic memory of assembling it. Word to the wise: If you come to visit us this summer, do not sit on the bench. I cannot guarantee that it won’t collapse. I think it may be evil.
