Yaede wins big in ‘ugly’ primary
The art of music Pianist provides Sunday soundtrack at Trenton City Museum By Dan auBrey Sunday visitors to the Trenton City Museum in the Ellarslie mansion in Cadwalader Park can expect a sound helping of art — thanks to pianist George Dabrowski. The Hamilton-based musician is there at the museum’s Yamaha baby grand piano most Sundays between 1 and 4 p.m. “I can’t say I entertain,” says Dabrowski, 72, about the weekly sessions he started in 2007. “I play quietly as background music.” But, he is quick to add, there are some people — mainly older — who just sit and listen. “I tend to play music from the 1920s to the ’50s and some original compositions,” he says about his repertoire. “I also do some improvisations because I don’t want to bore the regular Ellarslie volunteers. So I try to play to different music.” Dabrowski started playing at the museum when he retired from the railroad after 33 years. That includes Penn Central, Conrail, and finally NJ Transit. “I was getting rather sedentary,” he says. “And I made the conscious effort to play music — especially at nursing homes and assisted living facilities,” such as Acorn Glen. And while residents there generally enjoy his playing, some complain about him competing with their television watching. “You have to have an See PIANO, Page 14

Hamilton resident Gilbert Howland (right) meets with Rep. Chris Smith to discuss two congressional bills that would give Merrill’s Marauders the Congressional Gold Medal. Howland ser ved in the unit during World War II.
Forever a Marauder Gilbert Howland spent months behind enemy lines in World War II By loiS leVine On Sept. 21, 1943, Gilbert Howland, along with 2,000 other American soldiers, set sail on the SS Lurline from San Francisco to Bombay for what President Franklin Roosevelt at the time described as a “hazardous and dangerous” secret mission. The now-Hamilton resident and his unit were to penetrate Japanese-held Burma, part of the effort to defeat Japan in
World War ll. No one, including Howland, was sure what they had volunteered for. But, even now, it doesn’t seem to bother Howland, 96. “I was in Panama at Fort Clayton when Pearl Harbor was hit by Japan,” he said. “The guys I fought with were my buddies. We were like brothers. Our country was attacked. When we were asked to volunteer, we just did it.” When the troops arrived in Burma, conditions were treacherous. Besides being outnumbered by the Japanese, the American soldiers would also wind up facing tropical sickness, monsoons and mosquitoes, all in the near-impenetrable jungles of Burma. To
Howland, who had enlisted in the army in 1941 from his native South Boston after turning 18, it was just something that came with the job. Sent to the Panama Canal for basic training, his regiment took part in the defense of the canal after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, later moving to Trinidad for more training and island defense. It was there that he volunteered for what was to become known as Merrill’s Marauders, named after the commander of the operation, Army General Frank Merrill. Many believed no one would survive the secret mission. Howland was assigned to the Green Combat Team, setSee HOWLAND, Page 16
Hamilton Mayor Kelly Yaede hasn’t had the easiest start to 2019, but she finally got some good news after the polls closed June 4: she had soundly beaten her challenger, David Henderson, in the Republican primary race. Yaede (3,183 votes) nearly doubled up Henderson’s vote tally of 1,603. Yaede won 66 percent of the vote compared to Henderson’s 33 percent—a landslide by any measure. Yaede’s council slate of Richard Balgowan (2,511 votes) and Vinnie Capodanno (2,613) also came close to doubling up Henderson’s running mates, Cynthia Simon (1,437) and Bill Argust (1,298). School board member Tony Celentano, also running for council, pulled in 1,002 votes. Hamilton Township Council president Jeff Martin ran unopposed in the township’s Democratic primary for mayor, and will battle against Yaede in November along with his council running mates Pat Papero and Nancy Phillips. Papero (2,140 votes) and Phillips (2,405) defeated Democrat JoAnne Bruno (1,162 votes), who also ran for council. The Yaede campaign livestreamed victory speeches by township economic development director Marty Flynn, township committee chair Dennis Pone and Yaede after the election See PRIMARY, Page 18

Emma Johnson performed “Someone to Watch Over Me.” Alexander Johnson performed “Mamma Says” from Footloose with Chris Burger, Gregor y Aderhold, Alex Friedrich and Nicholas Eldridge. Richard Schneider and Stephanie Giunta directed the students.

Business students earn HTEDAC scholarships While the Hamilton Township Economic Development Advisory Commission works with township officials to support continued progress in the local economy, it has also continued one annual tradition of giving back to Hamilton’s future business leaders. The commission recently joined with Mayor Kelly Yaede and Hamilton economic development director Marty Flynn to present five Hamilton high school students with scholarships that will help support their pursuit of business degrees in college. With proceeds from its annual events, the HTEDAC was able to provide $1,000 scholarships to recipients from the four high schools located in Hamilton. The students were selected by each schools’ guidance departments from among their schools’ graduating seniors who are planning to study a business-related field in college. This year, Steinert High School’s Kyle Calamia, Nottingham’s Gabriel Samolchuck and Hamilton West’s Alyssa Maslowski received full scholarships, while Trenton Catholic Academy students Kensy Blaise and Felissah Boyer, as co-recipients from their school, received partial scholarships.
HTEDAC is an official municipal government commission comprised of volunteers that holds many events and programs throughout the year to help support Hamilton’s efforts to support economic development across the community. In addition to the scholarship program, the commission holds various job fairs, an annual business awards celebration and assists in other projects and initiatives. Through sponsorships and private dollars, the commission works to conduct such efforts without a cost to Hamilton taxpayers.

1. FIRST THINGS FIRST: Choosing a dentist, and trusting them to care for your happy, healthy smile is an important decision most families make. First things that come to mind are if you are adequately covered should you need any dental work. Selecting a dental insurance plan which has a wider selection of dentists can already set you far ahead. Certain plans limit acceptance at a specific dental practice, generally known as DMO or HMO plans. In comparison, PPO plans allow patients to visit any doctor who is in their network. In addition, most such plans also have out of network benefits, ultimately allowing patients to virtually see any dentist practice. When in an emergency, it is utmost important to have as much flexibility in who you can see for urgent care, so making the right decisions for yourself and your family are critical. Planning ahead, making the right choices and investing wisely in the selection of coverage that your family needs can yield great success later. 2. EMERGENCIES ON VACATION: Spring time is here, and soon you will be travelling for your next vacation. While away from home, it is important to be ready to handle any dental emergency. Chances are that travelling out of state, your insurance may have limitations, and it may be harder to find a dentist that can provide care. Supplemental dental insurance for travel can be a way to be prepared, and it is good to check out any dentists which accept your supplementary insurance should the need arise. However, having your family dentist reachable via online, phone or social media can be a great way to still get some advice, or tips while travelling. Keep your dentist’s emergency line handy, and be sure to like their social media pages so they know you well in advance when you need
them! Packing a small medical kit with some pain medicines, and gum ointment may help as an urgent palliative resource.
3. DENTIST VS EMERGENCY ROOM: A natural first response to any dental emergency is to call your family dentist for an urgent appointment. Most dental practices have limited office hours, with no late evening hours or weekend clinical days. This limits the availability of such practice to patients when they need them the most. Often, patients may call around for any other dentists who may accommodate them. In most situations, the hospital emergency room is the only way to seek urgent help. While helpful in terms of receiving urgent palliative care, most emergency rooms do not staff a dentist. After an expensive visit and long wait – patients are most certainly recommended to see a dentist as a follow-up for treatment. Academy Dental is open 7 days a week, which offers patients in Hamilton, Robbinsville, Lawrenceville and surrounding areas a great advantage to seek urgent care. Offering online appointment scheduling 24 hours a day provides great mental peace to patients that they have a secured spot to see the dentist at their earliest convenience. We welcome patients to check our extremely high levels of service and care, and benefit from our expanded coverage.
4. SECRET SAUCE (CONTINUING CARE): Routine dental visits are key, and can help detect problems early so they can be addressed. Continuing care is the most reliable way to stay abreast of your oral health, and be informed about any concerns that need immediate attention. Dr. Thind provides her patients counselling on how to care for their teeth in between their regular, bi-annual visits. Her team of excellent Dental Hygienists are caring, and ensure all patients are provided with the same, gentle care and attention. Getting healthy and staying healthy prevents undue stress and expense that a dental emergency visit may involve. Regular appointment reminders from Academy Dental via text, phone and Birthday Postcards provide our patients a fairly easy way to be connected, and attend routine checkups. Check with your family dentist if they are also setup to keep yourself informed and are vested in your healthy smiles the same way as you are!

Work on the road was originally expected to begin on June 17. The county anticipates that the project will be completed in 15 days, weather permitting. The bridge, which spans Amtrak tracks in Lawrence Township near its border with West Windsor Township, will be down to one lane in each direction 24/7. Drivers should expect delays, the county said. The bridge is immediately north of Quakerbridge Road’s busy intersection with Village Road, and south of the intersection with Lawrence Station Road, as well as Quakerbridge Road’s major shopping area.

Hamilton resident George Dabrowski plays the piano at Trenton City Museum ever y Sunday. ing American pianist of his generation.” Dabrowski says his father was a born musician from Philadelphia. His mother was from outside Hightstown. The two met during World War II at a Florida military base where his father was playing piano. They married and lived in New York City, where George was born, then moved to a farm outside Hightstown to be close to both their parents and families. “My mother is a retired nurse. She’s 101 years old and lives in Jamesburg,” says the divorced stepfather of two adult sons. About his own musical training, Dabrowski says, “I had piano lessons for a few years, along with my two brothers. We lost interest quickly when we had to practice. I also studied oboe in high school. That kept me out of Vietnam — I played in a military band in 1969.” Dabrowski says his musical taste is a blend of standards, classics, new works, and things “my father would play in the evening. A lot of stuff I play now I remember him playing.” He also plays “a little bit of Rachmaninoff, the 17th and 18th variations on a theme by Paganini. The 18th is a very lovely piece. The 17th is difficult and took me a year to learn and memorize. I’m not a pianist by training. The training I had was exceedingly elementary and not particularly helpful.” In 1980, Dabrowski started “fooling around” with ragtime music. When he was learning the “Maple Leaf Rag” he decided the work needed a musical introduction and created one. That in turn inspired the creation of series of ragtime-styled compositions. “I wrote out about 30 and there’s another 30 that I play that I didn’t write out — something I should do before I croak.” Although he isn’t a known composer, he says that his compositions are start-
ing to be recognized in ragtime music circles. “A couple of musicians around the country play my music. One was playing at a ragtime music event and someone came up and said, ‘What do you think of Dabrowski’s music?’” And while the pianist likes the story, he says he is indifferent to the answer. “If someone likes (my music), they like it. If they don’t, they don’t.” The same is true about playing at the Trenton City Museum. “When I play there, there is no pressure on me. If someone asks for something, if I know it I’ll play it.” And if he is unsure about a musical arrangement, he has help at the tip of his fingers. “I can use my smartphone to find a song, write down a bridge and key changes, and then I’ll have it.” Yet while Dabrowski helps keep the mood bright at Ellarslie, he is also dealing with some unseen challenges. “I have severe arthritis in my right hand that makes (playing) kind of tricky. It gets a little harder to play. And if you get to be over 70, your memory gets a little fishy, and it is tiring to play for hours.” Then there is also a disappointment he silently harbors. “When people come in and walk around for five minutes and leave — they don’t know what they’re missing. It takes time to look at art.” Looking forward, he says he is adding to his repertoire to help keep his mind sharp, and except when he is visiting his granddaughters he plans to keep his Sunday date at the museum. Or as he sums it up, “Unless they disinvite me, I will play there as long as I can.” George Dabroswki, Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie, Cadwalader Park.

As my career has taken twists and turns over the years, my very best decision was dedicating myself to serving my hometown, Hamilton. As a Financial Specialist, I can work anywhere, but in 2015 as I evaluated my life, it was apparent to me, that life would be better lived if my energy was spent in Hamilton. Afterall, I grew-up here (so I am a Hamiltonian), I raise my children here, and with commuting eliminated, I’d be able to invest time in the community that I love and call home. After only 4 short years, I am often referred to now as the “Connector.” I am passionate about connecting people in our community to expand our work and to create, collaborate, and enhance all that is Hamilton. Enough about me, though. How can I help you? The other hat I wear is “the go to person.” Everybody needs a “go to.” We work hard in this community making a home for our families, creating a lifestyle where we can enjoy family, friends, vacations, activities: Wow, do we like our activities. The kids are in 3 baseball leagues, 4 dance classes, la crosse, football, gymnastics, cheer, and the list goes on. I’m exhausted just thinking about it. And, hon-
estly, we don’t have a lot of time to think and often not even time to plan our futures. Take a deep breath and sit back for a moment and reflect on the next few questions: What happens if my spouse doesn’t make it home tonight? Forget the unbearable thought of life without them ….. Think about how you maintain your family in the house you call home, in the activities that they love, in the community that is now your support system. Have you planned for that what if? How about if I get hurt and can’t work? Will I be able to afford our current lifestyle? Who will pay for all the extras that we have come to expect? Okay, I have all that covered, she really can’t expect me to think of other what ifs. Oh, yes, I can. What if you want to retire someday? What if you outlive your money? What then ………. There are many questions I could pose to you and much to think about. Call me today for an appointment. Let’s discuss your goals and options. Never a fee for our conversations but plenty of education and understanding.

Hamilton resident Gilbert Howland (right) and fellow Merrill’s Marauder Bob Passanisi met with Sen. Cor y Booker to discuss a Congressional bill that would award Merrill’s Marauders the Congressional Gold Medal. HOWLAND continued from Page 1 ting up ambushes and blocking actions to cut Japanese supply lines along the Kamaing Road in Burma. Howland became a corporal in charge of two eight-member machine gun units. He remembers seeing some of the worst of the fighting in Nhpum Ga: “I remember not sleeping at night and being behind Japanese lines for four continuous months. You had to be always be alert, because the Japs could hit us at any time. Being in charge of two machine guns and 16 men, I had to make sure my men stayed up at night, so I would tie a rope around the leg of the man on each gun. Every 20 minutes, I would pull on those ropes to keep them awake.” “We were surrounded for 12 days by the Japanese, and I was moving from one machine gun position to another,” he continues, “when an artillery shell burst in the trees above me, hitting me with shrapnel. It threw me into the air and flipped me on my back. That night the Japanese
got into one of my machine gun positions and killed all three men on that gun. I felt bad, because I was not there to keep them awake. I might have saved them.” Towards the end of the mission, most of the troops were either dead, wounded, or struck with jungle disease. Howland, too, had contracted malaria, but went back to fight anyway. “If your temperature was 103 degrees or less, they said you were OK,” he said. Allied forces eventually captured the Myitkyina Airfield in Northern Burma, leading Merrill’s Marauders unit to be dissolved on Aug. 10, 1944. They had been enormously successful on their mission. In five major and 30 minor engagements, they defeated the veteran soldiers of the Japanese 18th Division, disrupting enemy supply and communication lines and ending with the capture of Myitkyina. In fact, no other American force had marched as far, fought as continuously or had displayed such fortitude as Merrill’s Marauders. During the five-month

operation, the Marauders (which was technically the 5307th Comp Unit Provisional) had advanced 750 miles, battling not only the Japanese but hunger, fever and a number of tropical illnesses. They would be remembered for traversing more jungle terrain on long-range missions than any other U.S. Army formation during World War ll. Looking back over that time, Howland now says, “Almost every day, I think about our unit in Burma. It was hard fighting. There were some bad times, but good times, too, like walking the 110 miles down the Ledo Road from India into Burma and seeing the Himalayas off in the distance, with snow-capped mountains. It was beautiful.” Howland, who devoted his career to the military, also fought in Korea and did two tours in Vietnam. His memories of Korea are difficult: “Only Pork Chop Hill in Korea came close to what I experienced in Burma. I had to do daily casual reports. We were losing almost whole companies of men while the armistice talks went on. Then after the ceasefire, we had to go up there and find the dead. It was horrible.” Nevertheless, Howland remained committed to the United States Army. “I will never forget the end of Gen. MacArthur’s speech to Congress in 1951,” Howland said. “He said, ‘Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.’ That’s how I feel about. I loved being in the military.” These days, Howland, a vibrant 96, gets in at least two golf games a week, and still drives a car. This past February, he took part in a ceremony honoring the 75th
anniversary of Merrill’s Marauders at the Pittsburg Historical Society Museum in California, laying a wreath in honor of his unit at the spot that was once the entrance to Camp Stoneman, where the 2,0000 soldiers were staged and trained for deployment. At the museum, Howland also was bestowed a plaque and a certificate honoring his 30 years of military service which included World War ll, Korea and Vietnam. To date, his military accolades also include a Purple Heart for the Battle of Nhpum Ga, three Combat Infantry Badges, four Bronze Stars, and, in 2017, induction into the Ranger Hall of Fame in Fort Benning, Georgia. In fact, Marauders have the extremely rare distinction of having every member of the unit receive the Bronze Star. Additionally, all received the Distinguished Unit Citation in July 1944, which was renamed the Presidential Unit Citation in 1966, awarded by the President in the name of Congress. As a result of his military career, Howland spent much time at Fort Dix, and lived in Hamilton from 1963 to 1973. He moved to Langhorne, Pennsylvania, in 1974 with his second wife, who passed away in 2014. Last year, he moved to the Homestead, an assisted-living facility in Hamilton with his cat, Yvette, to be close to his son and daughters. He spends his time playing golf and enjoying his eight great-grandchildren, four grandchildren, three children and friends. Yet, when he looks over his years at war, despite all the dangers, he still maintains, “The idea of duty, honor, country, is important to me. It should not be forgotten.”

Ryan, First Bank Tom Troy, Sharbell Development Corp. 18Hamilton Post | July 2019
PRIMARY continued from Page 1 result was beyond doubt. All three evinced a siege mentality as they took turns at the podium after a contentious and chaotic campaign that saw two of Yaede’s staffers charged with animal cruelty, including the township’s health officer, Jeff Plunkett. Yaede also saw the two sitting Republican council members, Ralph Mastrangelo and Ileana Schirmer, decline to run again. Schirmer has been particularly vocal in her opposition to Yaede, endorsing Henderson and telling the Hamilton Post in May that Yaede had attempted to obstruct council’s subcommittee that investigated claims made against the animal shelter. Schirmer was on the subcommittee. The Yaede campaign also took a blow when the Mercer County Republican Committee backed Henderson, placing him in Column A on the primary ballot. Last fall, Henderson was the campaign manager for school board candidates Richard C. Crockett III and Sherry Morency. The Hamilton Post reported on a number of racist and Islamophobic posts made to the candidates’ Facebook pages. The candidates denied that they were racist and in some cases, denied making the posts, even though they appeared on their personal pages. In May, The Trentonian reported on accusations made by a resident directly against Henderson for “racist, Islamophobic posts.” Henderson also saw publicized an 18-year old domestic violence charge that had been dismissed and expunged. Henderson alleges that the Yaede campaign is behind the release of the police reports. The Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office has confirmed it is looking into the matter. Pone, who spoke before Yaede at the
June 4 victory party, pledged that the campaign would be different now that the primary is over and Henderson is defeated. “Tonight ends the ugliness,” he said. “Tonight ends all the things that we’ve had to put up with in this primary campaign. But tonight is a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful day for Hamilton Township. Hamilton Township said, ‘That’s not who we are.’ Hamilton Township said, ‘Our values are with the Yaedes and the Yaede administration.’ What the Yaedes have gone through, their family, what we have gone through, our families, should never happen in politics. It’s why sometimes good people don’t want to run for office. But the people of Hamilton Township came tonight and today and they said ‘no’ to the ugliness, they said ‘no’ to the attacks.” Despite Pone’s assurances, Yaede was clearly in attack mode just a few moments later when she spoke. After thanking her supporters and congratulating her running mates, she made more vague and yet-unsubstantiated claims about both Henderson and the Democratic mayoral candidate, council president Jeff Martin. About Henderson she said: “This was a sham campaign of somebody that was put up to detract and to deflect and to keep us from lowering taxes and for focusing on what we need to focus on.” She also doubled down on her claims that Democrat Jeff Martin is Gov. Phil Murphy’s hand-picked choice to lead Hamilton and that if Martin is elected, Murphy will “run everything in this town.” “Our real opponent was not Mr. Henderson. Our real opponent is Jeff Martin, a political appointee by Gov. Murphy without outside money coming in to take away Hamilton’s values and we will not let them,” Yaede said. Martin, for his part, wished Yaede well after her primary victory. “I congratulate Kelly Yaede on her win and look forward to a campaign on the issues this fall,” he said in a statement. “As I have been doing since my announcement, I will continue to talk to Hamilton residents about my vision for Hamilton which includes stabilizing Hamilton’s taxes by lowering our debt; improving public safety by consolidating Hamilton’s fire districts; helping seniors who are on a fixed income; and focusing on economic redevelopment.” Henderson, usually extremely active on Facebook, has posted less frequently in recent days, or has been posting privately. He spoke to The Trentonian after his defeat, making some vague claims of his own. “She’s corrupt and I doubt she’s going to make it to the ballot in November,” he told the Trentonian. The Mercer County Republican Committee, which supported Henderson, posted a short message on its page the morning of June 5: “Congratulations to all, onto (sic) November.”
‘Tonight ends the ugliness. Tonight is a wonderful day for Hamilton Township.’ –Former councilman Dennis Pone after Mayor Kelly Yaede won the primary June 4

A Hamilton native is serving in the U.S. Navy aboard the aircraft carrier U.S.S. George Washington. Petty Officer 2nd Class Jenny Bienaime-Williams is a religious program specialist aboard the carrier stationed in Newport News, Virginia. As a Navy religious program specialist, Bienaime-Williams is the chaplain’s assistant, responsible for community relations, setting up volunteer opportunities for the ship and services for the chapel. Bienaime-Williams credits success in the Navy to the lessons learned growing up in Hamilton. “I was taught to stay focused and be humble,” said BienaimeWilliams. “In the Navy, you have to look out for the people around you. There is always a job at a hand and you have to put the mission first. It’s one team, one fight so you have to be humble. Regardless of personal feelings you have to put that aside for the mission.” Named in honor of the first president of the United States, George Washington, the carrier is longer than three football fields, measuring nearly 1,100 feet. The ship weighs more than 100,000 tons and has a flight deck that is 256 feet wide. George Washington is currently undergoing a four-year refuel-
ing complex overhaul at Newport News Shipbuilding, a process that includes refueling the ship’s nuclear reactors and modernizing more than 2,300 compartments and hundreds of systems. The carrier is expected to leave the shipyard in 2021 and return to Yokosuka, Japan, as the Navy’s only forwarddeployed aircraft carrier. Though there are many ways for sailors to earn distinction in their command, community and career, Bienaime-Williams is most proud of being promoted to second class petty officer after serving two years. “I doubt myself a lot,” said Bienaime-Williams. “To see that my chief and my chain of command sees something in me was great. They put me in to get promoted and it’s a good achievement.” Serving in the Navy is a continuing tradition of military service for Bienaime-Williams, who has military ties with family members who have previously served. BienaimeWilliams is honored to carry on the family tradition. “My older brother is a chief in the Navy and my uncle is also in the Navy,” said Bienaime-Williams. “They pushed me to join so that I would be a part of a better cause.” As a member of one of the U.S. Navy’s most relied upon assets, Bienaime-Williams and other

George Washington sailors know they are part of a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes providing the Navy the nation needs. “Serving in the Navy means giving back to my community, my country and my family,” BienaimeWilliams said. “My parents are from Haiti. My brother and I were born here and all of our family immigrated here. Serving means doing something for them and giving back.”

PJ’s Pancake House opens Robbinsville location By Rob Anthes ranthes@communitynews.org Finally. More than two years after announcing its expansion into Robbinsville, PJ’s Pancake House has opened the doors to its new location on Main Street, near Papa’s Tomato Pies. The restaurant’s first day was May 28. The Robbinsville location is the fifth PJ’s and the largest yet, with a total of 200 seats—140 inside and 60 on a covered patio outside.There also are PJ’s Pancake House restaurants in Princeton, West Windsor, Ewing and Kingston. The Robbinsville PJ’s Pancake House has the same menu as the others, with a focus on sandwiches and breakfast foods. But the Robbinsville location has been a different animal right out of the gate, with much stronger lunch and dinner crowd than a typical PJ’s, owner John Procaccini said. The new restaurant deviates from the usual PJ’s script in a few other ways. The most apparent has been the addition of a sports bar element at night. Procaccini said the tavern aspect of the restaurtant was conceived to bring in people in the hours other locations would see
its crowds taper off. He said it’s worked so far, with the bar packed with patrons watching a Women’s World Cup soccer game in the middle of the afternoon last month. “They said this is what they wanted—a local place to hang out,” he said. PJ’s has Happy Hour specials that run from 2 till 7 p.m. five days a week, as well as a live music series Friday nights, from 8 to 11 p.m. Bands are booked through the end of the year. The Robbinsville PJ’s also has two private rooms in the back of the restaurant outfitted with 80-inch televisions. Procaccini admitted this was a new concept for a PJ’s restuarant to attempt, but said his goal was to provide a full-service space for corporate meetings, bridal showers, birthday parties and other private events. The restaurant has been long-awaited in the community, with residents tracking the project through its several delays. Its initial September 2017 target opening was delayed after the township stopped construction early on. Robbinsville Township director of community development Hal English said the developer for the plaza— of which PJ’s and Papa’s Tomato Pies are part—began to build without signed plans. Entire structures had to be redone

The Robbinsville PJ’s Pancake House is much larger than other restaurants of the same name, and features a full bar and two private rooms. It opened after two years of construction, on May 28, 2019. throughout the complex. “There were glitches, more than normal, I think,” English said in September 2018. “One of the buildings came out a

foot higher than it was supposed to, if you look at one of the buildings in the back. One of the buildings was leaking water when it rained. Bricks falling off.” It sure seemed like the issues had been solved by summer 2018, with Procaccini saying then he was confident his eatery would open by late fall. English echoed that at the time, saying the township had the sense PJ’s would be open by the end of 2018. Instead, the end of 2018 became the end of May 2019. In the meantime, the rest of the plaza has come to life. Former Town Center mainstay VC Salon has moved into the center’s anchor fronting Main Street and rebranded as Coterie 17. A realty firm and a spine doctor have also opened in the center’s new buildings. Papa’s Pizza remains in the building formerly occupied by Ace Hardware. Soon, the long, blue building next door at 13 Main Street will be demolished, making the entire shopping center visible from roadway and allowing more space for parking. PJ’s Pancake House is located at 17 Main Street in Robbinsville. Phone: 609-7724755. Web: pancakes.com. Hours: MondayThursday and Sunday, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.

July 2019 | Hamilton Post23
‘Super utility guy’ Alu drafted by Nationals By Rich Fisher Jake Alu grew up a Phillies fan. When the Phils signed Bryce Harper in March, he was thrilled. One would think that attitude might have changed once the Washington Nationals chose the Hamilton Square resident in the 23rd round of the MLB draft June 5. But Alu, who just finished his senior season at Boston College, was still just as happy. “Hey,” he said, “it opens up a spot in the lineup.” Whether the Princeton Day School graduate makes it that far remains to be seen, but there’s no doubt he will bust his butt trying to get there. “Don’t be surprised if you look up in a couple years, and Jake Alu is playing every day at Double-A as kind of like your super utility guy,” Boston College coach Mike Gambino said. “He’s just such a baseball player. When you watch him play, he plays hard. He can bunt, he can run, he can move a runner, he can situationally hit, he can hit the ball out of the ballpark. He can do so many things. He can play second, short and third, right field and left field. If he picks up a couple steps to make centerfield an option, then you’re gonna have a guy that’s a left-handed hitter who can hit for average and do all the little things you need him to do offensively and play six different positions.”
After a solid four-year career at Boston College, Hamilton native Jake Alu moves on to the Washington Nationals’ farm system. Which is a heck of a lot to get from a package that stands just 5-foot-9. But starting in the Nottingham Little League and Nottingham Babe Ruth League,
moving into PDS and travel baseball, and up through his career at BC, Alu has always been one of the height-challenged kids on the block.
He and Gambino are both on the shorter side and make jokes about it, but Gambino said, “I’m taller than him, and you can tell him I said that.” When told, Alu countered with, “Ooohhh no way he’s taller than me.” It’s one of those things where guys in the same situation can call each other short, but don’t let anyone else try it. Alu has made it to professional baseball by throwing it back in detractor’s faces. In fact, Gambino felt it was one of his greatest weapons. “We would joke about that at times, and I would always end the conversation by saying, ‘If you were five inches taller you wouldn’t be the same player,’” Gambino said. “Part of his engine, and who he is, is understanding that sometimes people are gonna overlook him because of his height. So he’s got that edge, that toughness, it sort of adds to the grit. If he was four inches taller and didn’t play the game like he does, he wouldn’t be playing professional baseball. What’s turned him into such a great baseball player is how he plays the game.” Alu was unsure if being taller would have detracted from his desire, but he is sure that being smaller fueled it. “I think it does kind of light a fire under your feet a little bit,” he said. “You’re always gonna be doubted a lot. That’s something a lot of athletes thrive off of. When someone challenges me I like to prove them wrong.”

He started doing that as a BC sophomore. After getting just four at-bats as a freshman, Alu took advantage of an opening in left field despite the fact he had been mostly in an infielder during his career. He won the job and hit .331 with nine doubles, 23 RBI and 24 runs scored. “He had a strong window to possibly win a job in left and he barged through it,” Gambino said. The following season, Alu won the third base job but a season-long slump saw him hit .216 with just 38 hits. He continued to show gap power, however, with eight doubles, a triple and two home runs. This past spring Alu returned to form, hitting .343 with 81 hits, 51 runs, 18 doubles, a triple, four homers, 40 RBI, 51 runs scored and 11 stolen bases. It was a classic display of doing a little bit of everything. “His junior year was a little more of an anomaly,” Gambino said. “He kind of got sick right before the season and lost some weight. He struggled through that junior year a little more just because of the weight loss and not feeling well. But what he did his sophomore and senior years, that’s really who I believe he is.” Evidently, that is who the Nationals thought he was as well as they made him the second player from Hamilton Township that they would draft in as many years. Washington took Steinert’s Anthony Peroni last year. “As a kid you always have that dream,” Alu said. “It’s always something you think when you’re little, watching on TV. When I got to college, it was the time I realized if I worked really hard I could be there. We were playing with Justin Dunn who went in the first round (to the Mets). Just seeing all the guys throughout my career there who got drafted, I saw how hard they worked, and the work ethic they have and how good you have to be and how much fight you have to have. It kind of motivated me. It made me want to work that hard to get there.” Alu didn’t just work hard, he learned to pay attention and take advantage of all the opportunities to observe greatness. He recalled a pre-game warm-up as a freshman, where he was lamenting about not playing in the game. Johnny Adams, a junior at the time on the verge of being drafted by the Mariners, gave Alu some veteran wisdom. “He said, ‘Watch these guys, you can learn from them,’ because that’s what he did as a freshman,” Alu said. “I took that seriously and I started watching guys on my team, guys on the other team and what they did. I did that for the rest of my career and it really helped me. “Seeing the (Atlantic Coast Conference) pitching and the players you’re playing against, it helped tremendously, there’s so many good players. You watch them and see what they do well. You kind of learn as well. Even if they’re younger than you, if they are top prospects you can watch them and learn from it. I think if I didn’t play in the ACC
or play in one of those top conferences, you really wouldn’t understand a lot of what needs to be done.” Alu parlayed that understanding with his talent to embark upon a professional career. He was initially assigned to a mini-camp in West Palm Beach, Florida, where he was indoctrinated to the Nationals mindset. “We did individual work with coaches, meeting the ground rules for all the Washington National way of doing things,” he said. “We did infield, we hit a lot. It was wake-up at six in the morning and go ’til 3 o’clock so it was a pretty long day. It was cool, we actually got the chance to face a firstrounder from two years ago, and we faced a kid who’s been bumping up and down from TripleA who’s down there rehabbing. He’s been in the majors, so that was a really cool experience.” From there, Alu was assigned to the Auburn Doubledays, a shortseason Rookie League team in the New York-Penn League. As luck would have it, Alu is joining Peroni, his former teammate at NLL and Nottingham Babe Ruth. Peroni suffered through a back issue last year and missed virtually all season, so it’s like the two are starting out together. “This is gonna be awesome,” Alu said. Since we were kids we feed off each other in a baseball game.” “He texted me and told me,” Peroni said. “When he called me and told me, we both said the same thing—it’s great to be teammates together again.” Knowing Peroni puts Alu at an advantage, as his friend gave him valuable advice on what to expect; and how to handle the routine. “Routine is the biggest thing in baseball, it helps you with consistency,” Alu said. “Once you get in a little routine and knowing your schedule each day, going Your insurance shouldn’t be.

Melnick spends one last summer at home By Rich Fisher Some baseball players abhor a chest protector, shin guards and mask. But for Danny Melnick, a catcher’s equipment is what lights his fuse. “Gearing up is my favorite,” Melnick said. “When I put that gear on before the game, it’s just a bunch of adrenaline.” For the first time in his high school baseball career, he is donning the gear for a hometown team as Melnick is the catcher for Hamilton Post 31 this summer. After starring for Nottingham Little League and Nottingham Babe Ruth, Melnick played four years for Hun, one summer with Princeton Post 76 as a freshman, and two seasons of travel baseball. But those old Nottingham teammates never left his mind. “I always thought during my high school career that I wanted to do this my last year with these guys, and it’s so great to be back, honestly,” Melnick said after hitting two doubles and a triple in his Post 31 debut on opening night. “These guys are my best friends. We played Little League together, Babe Ruth together. We went to different high schools, but we’re finally back on the same team for one more summer. I can’t wait.” Hamilton manager Rick Freeman is pretty excited about it as well. “He’s been a welcome addition, he gives us a lot behind the plate and at the plate,” Freeman said. “He’s got experience. He’s
gonna be a Division I player in college. That gives you the experience our young guys need. He’s a quiet leader. Hopefully he’ll get more vocal as time goes on. But he’s got a presence to him that is impressive.” Post 31 coach Rich Giallella feels that presence and the way Melnick carries himself has rubbed off on a young team. “It takes the pressure off the other kids,” Giallella said. “Knowing he’s here, they don’t have to do everything. It becomes a team-oriented game, not an individual game. It makes other guys more aggressive, too. They look at him and say ‘Why is he so aggressive and I’m not?’ and it makes them more aggressive.” Giallella works with the hitters and said from what he saw in the early going, there wasn’t much to work on with Melnick. “I don’t know him that well, but I don’t fool with people that are pretty good unless they have a problem,” Giallella said. “He don’t look like he has a problem. What you see is a kid who knows the strike zone, controls the strike zone and is aggressive in the strike zone. When he’s patient he just dictates the atbat; not the pitcher. “He looks like an experienced hitter with the discipline and aggressiveness to know how to control the strike zone, whether it’s a curveball, fastball or change-up. He looks like he’s a player. He’s not a real vocal kid but he’s an aggressive, passionate baseball player

People like that in the lineup make everybody else better.” Melnick spent the past four years making his team better at Hun, where he played for a program that won four straight NJISAA Prep A titles and reached the Mercer County Tournament semifinals this spring. Although the Hamilton
Square resident missed playing with his childhood buddies, he wouldn’t trade his experience in Princeton for anything. “It was definitely something different,” Melnick said. “Coming from public school to private school is a tough transition. It was a completely different coaching staff than I was used to and a different kind of style. We got a new coach my sophomore year, a younger guy, and he shaped the program to be really close knit. We all did stuff together on and off the field, and I just loved going to school every day because I knew I’d be with those guys. But it’s definitely cool to be back with these guys, too.” Melnick had a career average of .342 with 18 RBI and 14 extra-base hits, and hit .342 with 18 RBI and 14 extra base hits as a senior. “Danny developed himself into a tremendous power hitter, making his presence felt in the middle of our lineup for the past two years,” Hun coach Tom Monfiletto said. “His work ethic is second to none. He can never take enough swings, never misses a workout, and is always trying to improve.” And that’s only half of Melnick’s story, as his defensive prowess may surpass his offensive talent. “Pitchers have always loved throwing to him dating back to his freshman year, but he made significant improvements each year to solidify himself as one of the best backstops in the state,” Monfiletto said. “We let him call his own game for the past

two years and the results speak for themselves as our team posted a 1.01 ERA this year. He receives and blocks well and this year his arm became a weapon.” It’s not surprising Melnick handles the position so well, considering how much he enjoys it. “I just like being in control and commanding the game,” he said. “I like to be involved in every pitch. Sometimes you go to another position and you don’t get a ball for a couple innings. When you finally do it’s just that one and you gotta be ready for it. You have to stay dialed in the whole time.” Although he has not handled many of Post 31’s pitchers, he liked the staff’s potential from what he saw in the early going. “I played with Tommy Gater before, he’s been lights out,” Melnick said. “I read a lot about Ryan Beczo, I’m excited to play with him. We’ve got a lot of young guys. They all throw strikes. We’re definitely not gonna overpower a lot of guys but everyone has a lot of good stuff. I think they’re gonna shut some teams down.” Catcher is a natural leadership position, of course, and that is another area where Melnick excels without actually saying much. His example comes from what he does. “His commitment and his love for the game and his teammates will leave a lasting impact on our program,” Monfiletto said. Melnick has just one season to impact Post 31 but the early returns were favorable as Hamilton carried a 5-0 record into its June 13 game with Broad Street Park. He played legion for Princeton as a freshman because Post 76 coach Larry
Parker was helping out Hun and needed players in the summer. Melnick and fellow freshman McGwire Tuffy, a Robbinsville resident, decided to participate in order to get regular at-bats. That was followed by two years of travel ball, which Melnick used to get recruited. As luck would have it, he will continue to be Tuffy’s teammate as he accepted an offer from Quinnipiac shortly after Tuffy did. “It was pretty much late last summer,” Melnick said. “I went to a showcase and they were there to watch McGwire. I was a catcher, and they needed a catcher. I saw them later in the summer at another camp. I visited a few schools, I kind of fell in love with their school and the coaching staff. I loved the campus, I loved their approach and how they played the game aggressively.” He will have a brief interruption from being Tuffy’s teammate, as McGwire is playing for Hightstown Post 148 this summer. The trade-off is that Melnick rejoins his childhood friends. “After last summer, I knew I was gonna go to college, and this would be one last chance to play with all my best friends from Little League and Babe Ruth,” he said. “I grew up with all these guys in Hamilton so I thought for one last summer, make it the best I can. It definitely feels cool. It’s almost like playing for Steinert. The coaching staff has a lot of knowledge. To get coached by them before I go to college is great.” Freeman feels the same way. “I think,” he said, “it’s a win-win for everybody.”

Hurdler Liedtka lets results speak for themselves By Rich Fisher Soft-spoken Eric Liedtka is as quiet as he is fast and dedicated. Which was good news for the Notre Dame High School track and field team, who only cared about the noise Liedtka made with his feet during a strong senior season. “He was voted captain the last two years,” Irish coach Joe McLaughlin said. “His work ethic is what got him the captain job. He doesn’t speak much, but he’s a good leader. He’s out there busting his butt every day. He just works very hard in practice every day and it paid dividends in the end.” The Hamilton Square resident comes from a family of Notre Dame track men. His oldest brother David was a thrower and middle brother Jake did hurdles, “so he just followed in their footsteps,” McLaughlin said. Actually, Liedtka followed in Jake’s footsteps as he spent his career mainly competing in the 110 high hurdles and 400 intermediate hurdles. This spring, he took fifth in the 400 hurdles at the Mercer County Championships in 57.5, claimed second in the NJSIAA NonPublic A South Sectional in 56.98 and finished fifth in the Non-Public A State Championship with a personal best time of 56.79. As a freshman, that place would have gotten Liedtka to the Meet of Cham-
pions as the top six plus wild cards advanced out of states. But the rule has been changed to where only the top three finishers move on. “It’s definitely frustrating, but what can you do,” Liedtka said. “I was still real happy. I had a lot of fun running track this year. I thought it was a really good time.” Growing up in Hamilton, Liedtka played soccer, CYO basketball and Nottingham Little League baseball, but the latter two sports never really stuck. He stayed with soccer and played for the Irish varsity last fall. While attending St. Gregory the Great, Liedtka dabbled in track one year. “My two older brothers did it and my second oldest did hurdles so that’s mainly why I do that,” he said. “I did it for one year in middle school but didn’t start really getting into it until high school. It was just an introduction at St. Greg’s, but when I got to high school I definitely remembered doing it and decided to do it again.” As a freshman, Liedtka showed promise as he took fifth in the 55 hurdles in the NJCTC Frosh-Soph Winter Championships, and was part of the 4x55 Shuttle Hurdle Relay that took first at the NJCTC Winter Relays. He also ran the 200 meters and 4x400 relay. His spring season included fourths in the 110 and 400 hurdles in the NJCTC FroshSoph meets, and he helped the 4x400 finish fifth in the Mercer Frosh-Soph
Hamilton resident Eric Liedtka just completed a decorated scholastic track career at Notre Dame High School. (Photo by Rich Fisher.) championships. Liedtka got his first individual gold medal during winter track as a sophomore when he won the NJCTC FroshSoph meet in the 55 hurdles. He took the 110 hurdles in the same meet during the spring, while claiming fourth in the 400 hurdles. In his junior indoor season, Liedtka
was also put in the high jump, long jump and triple jump, but went back to strictly the hurdles and 4x400 in the spring. He began to show improvement in the 400 hurdles, taking fifth in the Mercer Coaches Classic and Mercer County Championships, while finishing fourth in the Non-Public South A/B meet and fifth in the Non-Public A championship. He went back to jumps this past winter, but returned to hurdles and the relay in the spring. “Doing jumps was fun,” he said. “I wasn’t as good at it as the other events but it was fun.” This past spring was a culmination of all of Liedtka’s hard work as he had his first top-three finish in a sectional and was able to advance to states in both hurdle events for the first time. He took fourth in the 110 hurdles at Mercer Coaches Classic and fifth in the 400 hurdles at the Mercer meet. “Every year I got faster,” he said. “It was just a natural progression toward where I am now. I advanced to states last year (in the 400 hurdles) but the competition was a little better this year. It was a goal of mine and it definitely meant a lot this year.” Liedtka continued to have better performances in the 400 hurdles than the 110 this spring. “I’m not sure why,” he said. “I think I’m just naturally fast at the mid-distance, more than the shorter 100.”

McLaughlin explained it as, “It’s partially his height and also his 100 speed isn’t quite where some of the big guns are. But he has good 400-meter speed.” Liedtka also took over running anchor on the 4x400 this spring, helping the Irish to fi fth in the sectional meet, which advanced them to states. “It’s exhilarating running anchor,” he said. “It’s definitely a lot of fun and a challenge. It’s really fun to finish the race.” When it comes time to concentrate on a meet or an event, Liedtka says “My teammates help, we keep each other focused. Before the race and warm-ups I kind of get myself focused and in the zone a little bit.”
McLaughlin feels that when it comes to personality, Liedtka is similar to brother David, who had a standout career at the Naval Academy in Annapolis and is now pursuing his master’s degree at Stanford. “He was very quiet also, and led by example,” the coach said. Liedtka’s next stop is the University of Gettysburg, where he is thinking of majoring in economics while also running track. One thing is certain, he doesn’t want to stop running. “It’s one of my favorite parts of high school,” he said. “Just getting to know people, know my teammates, the coaches. It was definitely a great part of school.”
‘Every year, I got faster. It was a natural progression toward where I am now.’ –Notre Dame track’s Eric Liedtka

FIGHT IN THE MUSEUM
10 questions with Louis Russomanno By Thomas Kelly I have known and admired the paintings of Louis Russomanno of Hamilton for years. We both are represented by The Artful Deposit Gallery in Bordentown, and I see him frequently. Russomanno is a self-trained artist. That almost sounds like anyone can do what he does. Trust me, anyone cannot. Russomanno has one of the finest “eyes” for making art. The clarity with which he sees the objects and models is amazing. He then draws and paints what he sees so well. He has the “eye.” His work is quite well received and well collected. What are you communicating with your art? I am considered a Realist and paint things which appeal to me emotionally. Whether I paint still lifes, figures or scenes, I want the image to have the feeling of life. I want the viewer to see the life, to feel the life in the painting. What media do you use, and why? I use oil paint on canvas or panel. Lately, I am painting larger and find using oil paint works best for blending dark to light. It also works well when I apply the paint with a palette knife.
Hamilton-based artist Louis Russomanno is known for his Realist paintings. “Concrete Demo,” at left, and “New Shoes” are just a few of his works employing this style. Who were you influenced by? Old Masters influenced my work in a big way. I love Tintoretto for his color and quick working, Rubens for the figures and Rembrandt for the importance

of light and shadows. In modern times, I admire Lucien Freud. Do you work on your art ever y day? I do work every day. I get up early and run five miles in Veterans Park near my house. Then I will paint until noon, have a little lunch, then paint more in the afternoon. All told, I paint 6-7 hours a day. How long do you feel it took you to find your own voice? My own voice is sometimes changing. If I sit and paint, the work is more refined. If I stand, the work is a lot looser. I am told my work is easily recognizable. Locally, where do you like to eat
and hang out? My family is of Italian heritage, so we eat. My house is always full of friends and family. We have coffee on for you, the big Sunday dinner and, of course, my wife is an excellent cook. Our family members also own Jojo’s Tavern in Mercerville, so we eat there frequently. What fight/struggle do you have regarding your art? The struggle I have is my studio could be bigger. Actually it’s plenty big; it is just not tall enough. I have great light, but I need a 12-foot ceiling for the size paintings I am doing. What one attribute should all artists have? Artists should have a relentless desire to be an artist. Even if I won the lottery I would still paint and make art. I paint what I am obsessed with and wish to share it. I am true to my ideas. What is most fun about being an artist? I would not call it fun, as it is work. But one fun part is when a painting is collected. It is fun to know someone liked the piece as much as I did. What is on the horizon? I have several commissions that I must complete. Commissions are challenging because sometimes the collector wishes to have input on the piece itself. Of course, it usually turns out the way I wished it would. Besides that, I just keep painting the best I can. Thomas Kelly is a Hamiltonbased artist and member of the Hamilton Arts Council.

The word “elite” gets used a lot these days, and it was once pretty simple to determine its meaning—elite meant the very best in whatever category or classification one was evaluating. It was, without question, high praise to be dubbed elite in one’s field. It’s still understood that way in many circles, perhaps most notably among athletes and armed forces personnel. We call the top NCAA basketball teams the “Elite Eight,” for example, and Navy SEALs, Green Berets, and the like are often described as “Elite Military Forces.” But in other arenas—society, politics, and even academia— “elite” has become as much an insult as a compliment. For many people, the word “elite” immediately brings to mind not excellence born of hard work and dedication, but rather an image of snobs, milksops, toffs, and fops, in top hats and monocles, nodding (with an occasional scoff), while hobnobbing with moms of debutantes, after shopping, in a loft. With cocktails. It’s an image that would make anyone scream “Ahh!” “Elites” are generally considered even more stuffy, useless, and worthy of disdain than “the elite.” If you’re ever in a dangerous situation and need help, you want your rescue team to be elite, but not composed of elites. Elitism—the belief that individuals of a certain ancestry, wealth, intellect, or experience are deserving of greater influence than others—is often seen as contrary to the American Dream, more the purview of pre-World War I European powers, with their inherited titles and land. But it’s just as easy to argue that being rewarded for one’s efforts and abilities is an integral part of the American Dream. With “elite” slowly becoming a dirty word, it’s important to distinguish the “good” elite from the bad, or undeserving. In politics, bad feelings toward the term “elite” seem to stem from the perception that elected and appointed officials, especially on a federal level, are detached and out of touch with the average person. It’s a valid criticism. Still, do we really want a country run by people who are the opposite of elite? That being, according to dictionary definition: ordinary; second-rate; inferior. If knowledge and competence become disqualifiers for public office, we’re all in a lot of trouble.
Our own president seems unsure of his feelings about the word “elite.” He’s dropped the word with dizzying frequency when describing his apartment buildings and golf courses, intending nothing less than the highest compliment. The word’s right there in the name of Trump Elite Partners, for example, a travel agency employing “Elite Agents” exclusively for Trump properties. In some of his speeches, “the elite” are the rarified boogeymen of Washington politics, in others Trump tells his supporters that they (along with him) are the elite. Then, with his characteristic tendency toward superlatives, he graciously dubs them “the super-elite.” “Out-of-touch” or “detached” work just fine as political pejoratives, but dismissing elite individuals because they carry better-than-average credentials seems like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. I don’t think many Americans would defend inherited power or plutocracy, but there’s an important distinction when it comes to people whose status as “elite” has been earned and who hold legitimate expertise on a given subject. Americans should aspire to be elite in whatever field or endeavor they pursue. In the increasingly used political sense, I would emphasize that the opposite of elite is not “honest,” nor is it “stupid.” One can be intelligent and educated outside of a university setting, and offer valuable insights regardless of wealth or intellectual ability. But willful ignorance is its own category, too often cast in a favorable light as downhome, homespun wisdom. It’s a vice that should be avoided, not glorified. Some people might read this column and call it (or me) “elitist.” The term “elitist”—one who believes the elite should lead society—also has a negative connotation. Perhaps rightly so, depending on your definition of “lead.” But I believe the worst dangers of elitism are held in check by our Constitution and our (admittedly imperfect) voting system. In the meantime, the distinction between striving to be elite, versus striving to be an elite, is a subtle but important one. If the elite get beat, we’re all dead meat.
Americans should aspire to be elite in whatever field they pursue.

MINUTES FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE
A week with water: my fellowship in Rhode Island By Rob Anthes ranthes@communitynews.org I stood in the middle of a sewage plant, hydrogen sulfide wafting off the churning sludge, when the rotten-eggs odor triggered thoughts of home 200 miles south. This place, I realized, reminded me of Hamilton. Rather, I should say the Warwick Sewer Authority in Rhode Island reminded me of our own Water Pollution Control facility in Hamilton. As I walked around the Warwick facility, I flashed back to a similar tour I had taken of Hamilton’s treatment plant in August 2010. (The folks in Warwick are still thinking about 2010, too, but that’s a story for another time.) Nine years ago, I had merely been curious about what happened after someone flushed the toilet. But now, as a team from Warwick explained the science and technology behind their work, I wished I could go back and do that piece on Hamilton’s facility again. I had been given a more sophisticated way of looking at the subject. The sewer gases might have been making me delirious, but I felt oddly energized by my newfound insight. This was exactly why I had traveled to Rhode Island. I spent the first week of June at Metcalf Institute’s Annual Science Immersion Workshop for Journalists. Just being selected for the week-long program is an honor. The institute’s staff had chosen 10 of us as Metcalf Fellows from hundreds of applicants from around the world. They housed us in a Hampton Inn located in an unnervingly quiet and pristine mixed-use development the fellows called “Faketown, USA.” We were only there to sleep and eat breakfast.

Anthes was one of 10 Metcalf Institute Fellows to board the vessel Cap’n Bert and participate in a plankton and fish trawl on Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, June 5, 2019. (Photo by Gretchen Ertl.) The Metcalf staff jammed the rest of our days full of activities intended to improve our ability to understand and report on environmental issues—field work, lab work, classes, lectures. The Metcalf Institute is based at the University of Rhode Island’s College of Environment and Life Sciences, which meant we had constant access to researchers doing cutting-edge environmental work. This year’s workshop focused specifically on water quality, and I had dozens of moments where a researcher talking about, say, contaminants of emerging
ALK OF THE TOWN Dance Studio
concern on Cape Cod triggered an idea of how the information could be applied in Central New Jersey. We learned about disinfectant byproducts, wastewater treatment, sea-level rise and flooding—all issues that affect us here or will soon. We spent a morning on a trawler collecting fish and phytoplankton samples in Narragansett Bay. We went on “science speed dates” with researchers from institutions like Boston University and the University of Iowa. We had the opportunity to talk at length with guest lecturers, all experts
in their field. One such conversation gave me a thrill when a water quality and infrastructure expert from Texas mentioned he had read this publication’s coverage of Trenton Water Works. I felt famous. This fame came with some other trappings of celebrity, though, as the fellows were followed by professional photographers and a social media intern, saw our faces placed on promotional posters, served as guests of honor at the mixers we attended throughout the week. Anyone who has known me for more than 30 seconds can attest this kind of lifestyle was a change of pace personally. But I can’t argue with the results. By the end of the week, I had a notebook full of sources and story ideas I couldn’t wait to use. I met scores of interesting people who forced me to expand my thinking or come at a topic from a new angle. This kind of renewal is priceless, particularly for a journalist who has covered the same turf for more than a decade, and has lived here longer than that. As for you, this column serves as a friendly heads-up. We at Community News Service already had turned our attention to the environment in recent years. But I think you’ll see more—and better informed—coverage of the environmental issues affecting each one of us in the Trenton region. What those issues are, well, you’ll find out soon enough.
