Hail to the chief
Open mic gives kids a time to shine
Tracey McKeown is Mercer County Prosecutor’s first ever female head of detectives

Mary McIntyre knows something about performing on stage. Now the music director of Hopewell United Methodist Church, she was part of a nationally touring Christmas show called Wizards of Winter for six years. She also knows firsthand the difficulties that many talented people have convincing themselves to give performing a try. “When I was young, I suffered from stage fright that held me back as a singer,” she says. The church already hosted a monthly open mic night the first Friday of every month, run by church member Paul Bejgrowicz. But McIntyre wondered: why not an open mic specially for kids? So in May, she started up a monthly kids open mic for the third Sunday of each month. The first one attracted more than 30 kids from around the area. “I feel strongly about encouraging kids to share their creativity, and showing them techniques to overcome the fears that have prevented many of us adults from pursuing our dreams,” she says. The second session fell on Father’s Day, so turnout wasn’t as good. But a number of kids and their parents still did show up, suggesting that McIntyre is really on to something. See OPEN MIC, Page 7

Sara Cooper takes on ALS Diagnosed with the disease, Cooper Creative Group founder is making it her ‘new client’ By JULia MaRnin Multitalented Sara Cooper has been a commercial real estate lender, an event planner and a marketing guru in her professional career. The founder of Cooper Creative Group has even mastered the culinary arts. In recent times, however, she has found herself grieving over the loss of who she used to be.
“I loved to entertain and set an exquisite table. I am a trained chef, and now I can’t lift a plate,” she says. Cooper’s muscles are wasting away. In November, she was diagnosed with ALS, the progressive neurodegenerative disease. ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, affects nerves in the brain and spinal cord. Over time, patients lose the ability to move, breathe or swallow. There is no cure. “Your body gets tired at the end of the day. You’re tired because you’re trying to do the things you used to, but you can’t,” she says. Yet Cooper, 56, is determined to make a difference. She views her diagnosis as an opportunity
to spread awareness for ALS. She wants to develop a guide for people who are newly diagnosed with the disease, a map to help them navigate ALS’ many and confusing roads. “There is a lot of information out there, and my hope is that I stay well enough to create a resource for newly diagnosed people to use,” the Titusville resident says. In recognition of her many years of service in the community as a marketing consultant, as well as her bravery in the face of a difficult diagnosis, she received the 2019 Impact Award at the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Women of AchieveSee COOPER, Page 8

Tracey McKeown would have never dreamed of working for the Mercer County Prosecutor’s office for the past 29 years when she graduated from Curry College with a business degree. Now, the woman who had never planned on a career in law enforcement has become the first female chief of detectives in the county’s history after being promoted on May 1. McKeown has worked her way up the ladder in a career that began in 1990. She has worked in the Economic Crimes, Child Abuse and Sexual Assault, and Grand Jury units. She has been supervisor of 10 units: Grand Jury, Juvenile, Arson, Special Victims, Domestic Violence, Megan’s Law, Cyber Crimes, Trial, Evidence, Identification, and Internal Affairs. She has also served as co-coordinator of the Child Abduction Response Team. “It’s been very rewarding. Obviously I’ve come much further than I ever thought I would come in this field,” McKeown says. “Coming in as a business major, not knowing anything on criminal justice, I’ve learned a lot.” As chief of detectives, she oversees the 65 detectives See McKEOWN, Page 10

I write to comment on “Superintendent: First year of random drug testing a success,” Hopewell Express, June 2019. A success by what measure? When Smith pushed this through over parent objections, he claimed an increasing drug problem. He should now be able to provide data showing it’s better. Can he? No. I asked, but he offers only numbers of how many children were ensnared in the intrusive scheme. What if police could stop and search us for any reason? Or enter our homes and search at any time? After a year, the police could deliver similar results and proclaim “success.” No one would accept this. Why does Tom Smith think it’s OK to subject our children to the same abuse of power? He claimed feedback had been equally divided between supporting and opposing, but failed to mention that many who wrote in support are employed by the school district — and two were testing service companies. Letters obtained via an OPRA request show it’s false that opinion was equally divided. It was not. There’s a simple solution: parents who want to surrender their children’s rights are free to do so. Those who object can protect our children’s rights, and, most importantly, our rights as parents. I asked the superintendent to address
the serious concerns that parents have expressed, but he declined. He seems to have no interest in respecting parents’ rights. I call on Dr. Smith to respect our rights and test children only if parents agree. It will remedy a situation that is a gross violation of our rights as parents. The school board has way overstepped its boundaries and needs to get back in its lane. Drug testing must require parental consent. Neal McGrath Hopewell Township
Most secretive township majority ever?
On June 3 at the Hopewell Township Committee meeting, Mayor Kristin McLaughlin, Deputy Mayor Michael Ruger, Committee Member Blake and Committee member Kevin Kuchinski once again introduced an ordinance without reaching out to affected stakeholders beforehand. Sound familiar? This time, the affected stakeholders were 105 residential users of the Washington Crossing Estates Water Utility. By paying graduated water rates, these residents pay for 100 percent of the costs of their community well at no cost to the
township, which owns the utility. This time, Mayor McLaughlin and her majority, with John Hart in opposition, voted to start the process to put the 105 residential water utility users into significant debt with a $332,000 bond ordinance without any prior community outreach. Before that, on March 25, they placed on their agenda a township ordinance to slam some 9,000 residential electrical users into energy aggregation without any prior community outreach whatsoever. Before that, they planned to make dramatic changes to the Diverty Road neighborhood without any prior community outreach whatsoever. Before that, they signed affordable housing contracts pertaining to the largest development in the history of Hopewell Township by allowing 3,534 residences to be built in the next eight years without any prior community outreach. Apparently, the basic concept of representative government is simply beyond the understanding of Mayor McLaughlin, Deputy Mayor Ruger, Committee Member Blake and Committee Member Kuchinski.

NEWS continued from Page 3 Grants awarded in the Spring 2019 round are as follows: Kymberli Harjes, Courtney Underwood, Johanna Claps and Lisa Sandstrand received an $8,000 grant that will enable all HVRSD schools to purchase culturally diverse book titles for classroom libraries, book rooms and literature circles. Central High School and Timberlane Middle School will each receive $3,000 to significantly expand their holdings of culturally responsive titles to expand students’ choice of reading content. Each of the four elementary schools will receive $500 to add books with more diverse characters, settings and experiences to support students’ needs, interests and curiosities. Helen Cor veleyn and David Friedrich (Hopewell Elementary School) received a $1,500 grant to add a buildyour-own earth oven to Hopewell Elementary School’s outdoor garden. In the setting, where students already learn about sustainability and the benefits of local, healthy, organic foods, staff and students will be able to bake bread, cook pizza, design recipes and share meals outdoors as a community. Kimberly McCarty and Christopher Turnbull (Bear Tavern Elementary School) purchased a Swivl system, by which teachers can record audio and video in a classroom or small group setting for professional development and self-assessment. The technology, supported with a $1,039 grant, will allow teachers and staff to build a video archive. Bear Tavern will pilot Swivl in its second grade reading and writing instruction and, if successful, spread it to all grade levels. David Angwenyi, Raquel Riveral, Kathr yn Henderson and Rob Siris, (Central High School) received a grant of $500 that allowed former Rutgers University football player Eric LeGrand to speak to and meet with students at the May 19 Global Diversity Day. LeGrand, who was paralyzed in a 2010 game, highlighted the importance of including disability within an expanded focus on diversity. HVEF is also supporting two additional K-12 STEM education initiatives through funding it received from Bristol-Myers Squibb this spring. With a $10,000 grant, HVEF will fund the purchase of four Glowforge 3D printers, one for each elementary school. The printers will be installed in the Learning and Design Lab at each school to provide students with opportunities to engage in engineering challenges and activities, aligning to K-5 science standards. As part of the engineering design process, the 3D printers will allow students to create prototypes of their designs. HVEF will also award $5,000 in Bristol-Myers Squibb grant funding toward the creation of a rain garden and green roof at Toll Gate Elementary School. The two projects are components of a broader plan to weave sustainability, sound water management practices and outdoor learning into STEM offerings throughout the school property. HVEF’s fall funding cycle will open in September. On the web: hvef.org.

July 29 deadline for school board candidate filing The deadline is July 29 for anyone interested in running for school board this year. Three seats will be up for election in November for the Hopewell Valley Regional Board of Education: two representing Hopewell Township, and one representing Hopewell Borough. Negotiation committee chair Michael Markulec and finance committee chair Peter DiDonato are the Hopewell Township board members whose seats are in play. Hopewell Borough member and education committee chair Susan Pollara is also up for re-election. Markulec has told the Express that he will not seek another term. “My plan is to retire from elected public service after 12 years — six years on the Hopewell Township Committee and six years on the HVRSD Board of Education,” Markulec said in an email. “I plan on staying involved with the community through American Legion Post 339, the Hopewell Valley Veterans Association, and the Hopewell Valley Recreation Foundation.” Pollara told the Express she has not decided whether or not to run again. DiDonato did not respond to our inquiry. The New Jersey School Boards Association has a candidates kit on its website that explains the requirements for prospective candidates.

COMPLETE HEALTH YOGA 5 REASONS PEOPLE AVOID YOGA: “I am inflexible or too out of shape” “I don’t have enough time” “I have no clue what I’m doing” “I tried it once and it wasn’t for me” “Classes are always crowded and way too hot” At Complete Health Yoga we want to help you drop the excuses and start transforming your body and your spirit. I am inflexible or too out of shape. Your body is perfect for yoga because Yoga is perfect for EVERYbody. Yoga works for all shapes and sizes in encouraging flexibility, building strength, and toning muscles. I don’t have enough time. Once you realize something is important, you’ll find time for it! We are committed to providing enriching studio classes while preparing you for a fruitful home practice. Doing yoga 2-3 times a week, even for 15 minutes at home, will create a lifelong healthy habit. I have no clue what I’m doing! We all have to start somewhere; that’s why yoga is called “a practice.” A beginner’s mind is the best place to start, and all our teachers are eager to help you build experience through clear and insightful instruction. It wasn’t for me! There is no “one size fits all” in yoga. There are multiple yoga styles and teachers come from varied backgrounds. We encourage you to try different styles and from different teachers, confident you will eventually find the teacher and class that’s right for you. Classes are always crowded and too hot! Different styles of yoga require different room conditions. We offer various class temperatures, from ambient to hot, and limit class size to ensure personal instruction. It is critical to our mission that you have plenty of room to breathe! 5

Carter Lake on keyboards and Austin Baker playing guitar at a recent kids’ open mic at Hopewell United Methodist Church. OPEN MIC continued from Page 1 “I give music lessons to local kids as a side job, and just being a parent here for 14 years, I’ve seen the tremendous amount of young talent we have in Hopewell Valley,” she says. An open mic setting provides a place where where kids can be alone on stage, developing their own repertoire, finding their own voice, gaining confidence and being creative. “An open mic is just that: it’s open, it’s casual, nonjudgmental and noncompetitive. It’s unscripted. That’s something kids need these days,” McIntyre says. McIntyre lives in Hopewell Township with her husband, Shawn Daniels. Kids Steven, 13, and Sarah Jean, 11, both attend Timberlane Middle School. Son William, 8, goes to Hopewell Elementary. McIntyre, who joined the church as music director in January, says pastor Laura Steele encouraged her to grow the idea when she first mentioned it. Steele and Bejgrowicz helped her get this idea off the ground, and other church members have volunteered each month to help prepare the stage and set out snacks and beverages for the kids. She says giving kids their own time on the stage, with an audience of supportive family, friends and fellow performers, will help them hone their chops, try out new material, have fun and meet people. All forms of artistic expression are welcome, as long as there’s no foul language or rhetoric. At the first show, one of the performers played the saxophone and also did a comedy routine. “I post a code of conduct that hopefully the kids read when they sign in,” she says. “I host the event with a mic in my hand, so if something inappropriate did pop up, I would inform the performer right then and there ... I think that would be a valuable life lesson to a creative young person trying to figure out what works and doesn’t work in a public performance.” McIntyre admits that she was pleasantly surprised at the high turnout for the May session. But the lower turnout for Father’s Day wasn’t all bad. After all the day’s performers had gone, there
was space to fill, so they each took a second turn onstage for an impromptu set. The crowd even encouraged McIntyre’s son, Steven, to do a drum solo. “It was great because everyone was so casual,” McIntyre says. “It broke that barrier of the stage being a scary thing. The feeling was, “hey there are no performers but us today... let’s just jam and hang out.” Mimi Baker’s sons, 10-year-old Austin and 14-year-old Max, have performed at both sessions so far. Austin, a student at Hopewell Elementary School, plays the guitar and sings. Max, a Timberlane grad who will attend The Pennington School in the fall, is the person who played the sax and did the comedy routine. “He was so confident and proud of himself, it really was great for him to have the opportunity to share his talent with the community,” Baker says. Baker is the owner of Hope Wellbeing and resident acupuncturist at the Sault Haus, both in Hopewell. Her husband, Brandon Baker, is president of Baker Auto Group. “It’s one thing for kids to learn how to play and be proficient in learning notes, and it’s another to be able to perform in front of an audience,” Baker says. “I wanted them to get the experience of playing in front of an audience in a nonjudgmental and accepting environment.” Baker says the boys returned for the second session because they wanted to. “They had new material to perform, and they played a duet for their dad for Fathers Day,” she says. She is impressed by the talent of the kids who have performed, including a young opera singer, Vaselisia Seneko, who will be on a future episode of America’s Got Talent, and a three-year-old who played the ukelele. For future sessions, McIntyre hopes to attract more teenagers and more bands. “Forming a band is a great learning experience for kids, and bands need venues to play,” she says. The next kids open mic at Hopewell United Methodist Church is scheduled for Sunday, July 21 at 2 p.m. The church address is 20 Blackwell Ave., Hopewell Borough. Web: hopewellmethodist.org.

COOPER continued from Page 1 ment Awards Breakfast on June 20. “Sara is a very kind-hearted, giving person who is also a proactive professional,” says her neighbor and friend, Jodi O’Donnell-Ames. “She is doing her best as a member of the community to bring awareness to the disease.” Cooper fell in 2016 while putting up Halloween decorations, breaking her left arm and right leg. She recovered almost 100 percent from those injuries thanks to months of physical therapy. She was in a wheelchair for four months. Gianna Bigliani Cetkowski, of Fluid Physio in Lawrence, was one of the therapists who helped Cooper recover. Cooper recalls Cetkowski one day asking her if the October incident was the first time she had fallen, or if there had been any falls before that. “I realized that during the course of the year 2016 I had probably fallen four or five times. But, you know, you say to yourself, ‘I’m rushing,’ or ‘I just stubbed my toe and that made me fall.’ If she hadn’t asked me that, I wouldn’t have thought about it. But when she did I was like, ‘Oh.’ Because a 54-yearold woman doesn’t usually fall four or five times a year.” Cooper grew up in Ewing and Hopewell. RANTEE She graduated from UA Princeton Day School and Boston University, where she earned APY*** a degree in finance. Her parents were both O RO EA lawyers.

our local communities, both personal and professional, has been tremendous. People I have never met before have asked if they can help,” she says. She recalls being overwhelmed after being diagnosed. She had many questions, and few ideas of what to do or where to go get treatment. She depended on people she has gotten to know throughout her personal and professional life that she refers to as her “tribe.” “I was initially shocked and very scared,” she says. “I was fortunate to have personal resources to help guide my through some of that.” Now her friends and family are also helping her create a user-friendly plan for others who might not have such support, using her experiences and the information she has compiled as a guide. Her oldest friend, Mary Jo Harris, her brother Albert Cooper IV and his wife, Mary Platt Cooper, have created a nonprofit corporation called Help For ALS in her honor. They established a GoFundMe page for Help For ALS that has raised $28,000 to date toward a goal of $100,000. One hundred and sixty people have contributed so far. “The money is about making a difference and raising awareness,” Cooper says. “I am trying to utilize my experiences personally and all the other things that are out there so that its not this overwhelming thing.” She says it is important for anyone with ALS to have a team along with a team quarterback. ALS is a “family community disease,” Cooper says. The caregiver’s piece is “huge.” She also says it was important to learn from her friends and family, and especially her husband, that it is OK to ask for help when she needs it. “Sometimes I feel like it’s six (o’clock), my husband and I are about to have dinner, and there is one more email, or I have one more thing I want to do, and I’m just too tired. That’s tough for me,” she says. Cooper says Delehanty, a certified financial planner and principal with 21st Century Advisors in Titusville, has helped her get to a place where “it’s OK if the picture on the wall is crooked or the pumpkin wasn’t carved for Halloween.” Cooper says they try to live each day together and to the fullest. “We look for things to feel good about as a couple,” she says. Jodi O’Donnell-Ames is all too familiar with ALS and its effects on a person and a person’s loved ones. She lost her first husband, Kevin, to ALS, which eventually led her to form the nonprofit organization Hope Loves Company, which provides support to children and young adults who have a family member with ALS. Cooper has joined the board of directors. “I’m trying to be a resource for her so that anything I’ve learned from my journey with ALS I can help her navigate what she’s going through,” O’Donnell-
‘If I make a difference for one person who feels they can talk openly about ALS, then I am happy,’ Cooper says.

Another friend that Cooper relies on is Grace Harris, a nurse, whom Cooper describes as the captain of her health team. Harris and others give her injections of drugs like Radicava and Riluzole, which are designed to slow down the progression of nerve degeneration. Cooper could give her the drugs themselves if she had the dexterity to do so, but she does not. O’Donnell-Ames has also learned how to give her these injections. “It’s just a lot to deal with not being able to do things for yourself,” Cooper says. “When people treat you with dignity and care and you feel like they have your back and you have fun with them — this is what my life is, so I just try to make the best of it.” According to the ALS Association, the average life expectancy from time of diagnosis for an ALS tpatient is two to c five years. 5,000 people odu p r Approximately in the U.S. are diagnosed each year. Cooper says she frequently receives letters and cards. She recalls one letter from a woman she knows that moved her to tears. “I wasn’t crying because I have ALS, I was crying because of her kindness...the love and support that I lreceive is more d y she says. humbling than diagnosis,” en frithe “That’s the way people love me.

collection of beautiful stationery that is going unused. “Am I going to be sad? Yeah. But I’m going to figure out a way. I can get a couple of friends that have some time, and they’ll write my thank you notes,” she says. “So I’m a problem solver. It doesn’t me happy that I can’t do it, but I’ve 00% 1make got to accept it because it is not going to change.” Although she is battling the disease, Cooper she continues to be as freesays involved as before with Cooper Creative Group. “I do have a new client that is taking a lot of my time, and that is Sara Cooper’s ALS,” she says. Cooper hopes that by sharing her story, she can help open up the conversation surrounding the difficult topic. “I’m determined hy to make a difference, altCooper, eSara nothfor but for the ALS population. If I make a difference for one person who feels they can talk openly about ALS and taboo subjects, then I am happy,” she says. Sara Cooper was honored by the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce on June 20 at TPC Jasna Polana pro when the chamber held its Women of Achievement Awards Breakfast. Jodi O’Donnell-Ames was also honored at the breakfast for her work with Hope Loves Company. Also honored were Susan Michel of Glen Eagle Advisors LLC, Jigna Rao of Mercer County Community College, and Cynthia Ricker of Bryn Mawr Trust.

McKEOWN continued from Page 1 within every investigational unit in the office. She relies on those detectives in each unit when a major crime happens, such as a homicide. “It’s a privileged position to be in. I’m definitely honored and thankful for the prosecutor for having the belief in me that I can do this,” McKeown says. Her day-to-day job may involve different tasks such as meeting with the prosecutor regarding different investigations, overseeing matters that the investigational units are handling, and working with the different municipalities on investigations. Municipal police throughout the county may help McKeown and her detectives on investigations while they help them in their investigations as well, she says. “It’s a joint effort, a lot of crimes overlap between the adjacent municipalities,” she says. She has noticed in the past 29 years she has worked in the Mercer County Prosecutor’s office that crime has risen significantly, saying that shootings have been occurring more frequently and happen at any time and location. McKeown is trying to work with different municipalities and police departments to implement initiatives to try and offset the crime rate in the hopes of reducing it in the Mercer area. “I’m hoping we can progress forward and make the community a little safer, anything we can do to make life here better,” McKeown says. McKeown has been a Hopewell resi-
Mercer County Prosecutor Angelo J. Onofri (second from left) with new chief of county detectives Tracey McKeown, first assistant prosecutor Stephanie A. Katz and deputy first assistant prosecutor Amy Devenny. dent since she was four. After graduating Hopewell Highschool, she went to Mercer County Community College for a year. Then she transferred to Curry College in Massachusetts, where she studied business and also played soccer. She had job offers in the business field lined up and awaiting her after college, only to realize that none of those careers truly interested her. “Nothing intrigued me. I didn’t want to sit behind a desk,” McKeown says.
She reached out to Mercer County prosecutor Paul T. Koenig Jr., whose daughter she graduated from high school with. At the time, McKeown says, the Mercer County Prosecutor’s office was looking for female detectives to join the Child Abuse and Sexual Assault unit. Koenig knew of McKeown’s character after coaching her in recreational soccer for years. He interviewed her and offered her an opportunity to become a detective.
“He said that I need to be able to shoot a gun and qualify,” McKeown says. “I really wasn’t interested in criminal justice at first, but it intrigued me when he offered it.” She decided to take the opportunity. “It seemed like a great option, and I decided that it was worth it,” she says. If she did not enjoy her new career path, she told herself, she could always go back to business. McKeown attended a class called the Basic Course for Investigators at the Army National Guard in Lawrence Township through the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice. Her training took around two months to complete. Nowadays, McKeown says, it takes much longer to become a detective. She began work as a detective in the Child Abuse and Sexual Assault unit, which she was assigned to for 16 years. At the time, only females were assigned to the Child Abuse and Sexual Assault unit. “That changed a long time ago,” she says. There are currently three male detectives out of five in the unit, with a male supervisor. “It doesn’t have to be a female that talks to a victim, it’s about how you talk to people and interact,” she says. Many times people have asked McKeown how she is able to be involved in such work that has an upsetting nature. “You have to put that aside,” she says. “Getting the person justice helps make up for the sadness that goes along with it.” One of the toughest things McKeown has experienced in her line of work is when the victim does not receive justice.

She says it proves difficult after putting all of her energy into a case and realizing that it might not end in the way she thought it would, or when there is not enough to prosecute. “I try to offset that by helping [the victims]get other services whether it be counseling or support services,” McKeown says. She left the Child Abuse and Sexual Assault unit to go on maternity leave. When she came back, she moved throughout many different units and received her first promotion to sergeant in 2010. She was promoted to lieutenant in 2016, captain in 2017, and then chief of detectives in May. During her time as captain in 2017, McKeown was in charge of overseeing the grand jury detention unit and trial unit along with the Internal Affairs unit, which investigates allegations involving police officers. “I don’t think anyone refers to that as something you would like to do,” McKeown says. “I would hope that people who know me know that I am fair. I’m going to go by the books and do what I need to do.” McKeown, married and a mother of three, says she spends most of her free time with her college-age daughters and sports-involved son, who is entering high school. Mondays through Fridays McKeown is in the office unless something major occurs over a weekend that requires her to come in. “Are there good days and bad days? Absolutely, but overall it’s been a great
career,” she says. “I took the opportunity and I wouldn’t change a thing.” McKeown says her family understands the demanding nature of her work. “Over the years, have I missed things with all of them? Absolutely. You try to juggle between work and family, they’re both very important,” she says. “I do a pretty good job trying to juggle both.” For McKeown, down time is a rare occurrence and during it, she enjoys gardening and doing yard work. One of the rewards of her job is being able to see the lasting impact she has made throughout her cases over the years, such as when previous victims reach out to her. “Seeing they’re doing well and how far they’ve come, that in and of itself is the world,” McKeown says. Along with her recent achievement of being promoted to chief, McKeown has received awards throughout her career such as the Cherish the Child Award for Outstanding service and the New Jersey Child Assault Prevention Award for Law Enforcement. “I’ve worked with Tracey for over 20 years,” says Mercer County prosecutor Angelo Onofri. “She was a great detective and investigator, she’s been an exemplary supervisor, and she’s come through the ranks and has the respect of the entire office.” Also promoted were lieutenants Tarek Elkachouty and James Francis to captain; sergeants Bryan Cottrell, Eric Hastings and Gary Wasko to lieutenant; and Detectives Joseph Paglione, Kevin Searing and Ryan Woodhead to sergeant.

’Nova-bound Dolan is golden at Meet of Champions By Rich Fisher For a guy who runs so fast, Sean Dolan took his sweet time plodding to his niche in track. Once he arrived, however, Dolan knew he was in the right place. During his first two years at Hopewell Valley Central High School, Dolan mightily resisted running the 1600, preferring the 200, 400 and eventually the 800 as a freshman. He became mostly an 800 man as a sophomore but “dabbled a little in the mile” according to coach Aaron Oldfield. As a junior he increased his workout with the 1600 and this year Dolan exploded. He took first in the 1600 at the Holmdel Twilight Series, the NJSIAA Group III Central meet, the Group III State Championships and finally, the Meet of Champions. It was his first individual MOC gold medal after winning two indoor with the 4x800 relay team, and he became the first male athlete to win an individual outdoor MOC gold since pole vaulter Dave Jackson in 2001. “It really means a lot,” Dolan said. “It was kind of the last thing I was missing from my high school career. It was just the cherry on top, I was happy to get that one.”
Sean Dolan running at the Meet of Champions, June 8, 2019 at Northern Burlington High School. (Photo courtesy of Milesplit/milesplit.com.) And if he hadn’t gotten it? “Honestly, it would have been a little frustrating,” Dolan said. “I feel like I’m in the best shape of my life right now, I feel like I’ve been running so well. It would have been a little bit heartbreak-
ing not to get the gold there.” Dolan got it with a time of 4:09, just one second shy of his personal best (run last May in the Adidas Boston Games). He did go on set a new personal record on June 15, however, when he ran in the

prestigious Brooks PR Invitational at the University of Washington. There he finished fourth, with a time of 4:05. The obvious question is, what took Dolan so long to discover the 1600? “He wasn’t really committed to it mentally,” Oldfield said. “Obviously a lot of kids want to run something shorter and get done with it.” Dolan chalked it up to good old fashioned stubbornness. “It took me ’til about the end of last year to realize I actually am a miler,” he said. “It was me being stubborn and not wanting to race the long distances. It took me a while to get up to the 800 and took me even longer to get up to the 1600 and 3200. I’m not a fan of cross country, but I’m sure that’s gonna grow on me pretty soon.” The epiphany came at the Penn Relays during Dolan’s junior year. After running a good time during the indoor season, he cut his PR by five seconds at Franklin Field. “I realized I had a lot of potential and I just figured I might as well go and chase after that potential. So this year pretty much was dedicated to working toward Meet of Champs and trying to win it,” he said. Dolan’s workout regimen slightly backfired at the start of the school year.

distances, he put in a heavy workload over the summer. When he returned for his second season of cross country, he became sick and struggled with injuries. “It didn’t go as I hoped,” Dolan said. “I’ve never been at that high mileage that I did in the summer. It didn’t burn me out but I might have jumped into it a little too quickly. I should have built up to it a little more. I have no regret about anything I did, based on how the year has gone. But I was initially a little frustrated because I think I might have jumped on the mileage train a little too quickly.” Dolan was coming off a junior season in which he finished second in the 800 at the Brooks Invitational and the Meet of Champions after winning counties, sectionals and states in that event. The Meet of Champions effort came one day after he ran at Brooks — in Seattle. “Last year’s Meet of Champions was the last time I remember him losing in New Jersey,” Oldfield said. “And that was when he had to fly home from Seattle and run that day.” Despite such great success in the 800, Dolan gave the mile his full focus this year. After his tough cross country season, he won the 1500 meters and took second in the mile at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix. This spring he won counties, sectionals and states in the 800 and 1600, opting not to run the 800 in the MOC. Dolan’s time of 1:50 in the 800 is fastest in the state this year, and his 9:02 in the 3200 is second fastest. “He’s a special creature,” Oldfield
said. “He’s got a range where he can run the fastest 800 and second fastest two-mile in the state. If you’re gonna run him in the mile, I don’t know how the hell you’re gonna beat him. He’s got the speed, he’s got the endurance and he has the competitive fire that I’ve not really seen in too many people.” That fire burned brightly in the MOC, when Dolan overcame a race that was “paced kind of weird” by keeping his composure and winning by more than two seconds. “We kind of played with the pace and it was pretty interesting,” he said. “I feel like I’m a much more mature racer now. I’m not making any more stupid moves in races. I’m running smart, staying on the outside, and just rolling with the punches. I think it comes with me becoming more and more used to the event. Last year I would always find myself fumbling around, making pointless moves, getting stuck in places where I shouldn’t have been. This year I’ve been watching track videos, critiquing myself and working on it in races. My strategy has gotten a lot better.” He must continue to hone that strategy next year as Dolan will run for Villanova. The decision was a no-brainer after he hit the Main Line in October. “I just got on the campus on my official visit, and I knew right away this is where I wanted to be,” he said. “A light bulb went off and I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m gonna go here next year.’ I’m really, really excited for that.” One would think the ’Nova coaches are just as excited.

The Pennington office of Regenerative Medicine of Mercer.
It sounds like the stuff of science fiction: our bodies healing themselves without surgery or invasive techniques. But regenerative therapies are here and now are available to everyone. Regenerative Medicine of Mercer, conveniently located at 2554 Pennington Road, Pennington, provides a cutting-edge range of treatments including the newest approaches to stem cells and platelet-rich plasma therapies. Founder Dr. Glenn S. Gabai, a practicing chiropractor for 40 years, immersed himself in new and upcoming methods of healing after retiring from active chiropractic practice. “I truly believe ‘The power that made the body heals the body.’ These natural healing processes and techniques were not widely available until a decade ago, and after study and research proving effectiveness and safety, I am excited to bring these FDA approved modern medicine wonders to the public,” affirms Dr. Gabai. “The body has an inborn wisdom to repair, rebuild and regrow. We are all born with the stem cells that make this happen but, with age, they gradually become dormant. Platelet rich plasma reinvigorates these cells and encourages them to active growth,” Dr. Gabai states These therapies are especially effective on joint pain and sports injuries. Professional athletes have used these techniques for years, but they were expensive and not widely known until recently. With its all-natural approach to pain, regenerative cell therapy is emerging as the treatment of choice for musculoskeletal diseases and conditions. Conditions beyond orthopaedic injury, such as neuropathy arthritis, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel, or torn ligaments, respond well to these therapies. Stem cells replicate into other
cells in the body. When injected into an affected area, they trigger a healing cascade, resulting in fast and effective pain relief. Plateletrich plasma therapy processes the patient’s own blood to separate and concentrate the platelets, proteins and healing factors and is then injected into the injured area. Plasma contains necessary growth factors and hormones to facilitate healing, plus it recruits other cells to the site of injury for pain relief and repair. It is a safe and effective procedure that rarely has side effects, and it only takes about 30 minutes to complete. Dr. Gabai says: “These procedures are less aggressive and less expensive than surgery. They heal tissue naturally with minimal or no scarring and alleviate further degeneration of the tissues. Because stem cells are immune privileged minimal side effects have been reported in the many studies nationally and internationally. Use of these new techniques, holistically coupled with chiropractic treatment, nutrition and weight loss counselling, can reduce the chances of needing surgery and possibly eliminate it entirely.” Twice monthly, Dr. Gabai presents talks at his offices in Pennington on the effectiveness of these treatments, known as “The New Medicine”. “There is no need to wait and put up with pain unnecessarily for years. Conditions that patients have endured for years have be alleviated without invasive measures. The future of medicine is here today,” he says. Step into the future of natural pain relief treatment.

20Hopewell Express | July 2019
In March we announced that Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space sought help to boost the population for the statethreatened American Kestrel by increasing nesting opportunities throughout Hopewell Valley. After receiving a grant from the Division of Fish and Wildlife Endangered and Nongame Species Program, FoHVOS staff and interns facilitated box-building workshops and installations. The community responded in force and more than 100 volunteers from Bloomberg, Calvary Baptist Church, Cambridge School, Cub Scout Troop 1776, Girl Scouts, Painted Oak Nature School, and The Pennington School helped successfully construct 50 nesting boxes and install 36 boxes in the most suitable habitats in local preserves, Mercer County parks, and private resident lands throughout the Hopewell Valley. The boxes are monitored every two weeks by volunteer citizen scientists to record any kestrel nesting activity and to thwart nest-building attempts by non-native starlings and house sparrows. At the time of writing, six of these boxes have already been occupied. Females from three nests were fitted with uniquely-numbered leg bands by Division of Fish and Wildlife biologists to help track the population’s recovery. Two nests have eggs that are being incubated by the adults, and two nests have already hatched. The other two nests were abandoned before hatching, which is unfortunately a common occurrence in this species. It is still early in the Kestrel active nesting season, and more nests are expected. For more pictures or information about local American Kestrel activities, visit fohvos.info/kestrel-nesting-boxes. FoHVOS officials anticipate increasing numbers of kestrels to use the nest boxes in future years. Kudos to Hopewell Valley for supporting community conservation efforts for building, installing, and monitoring boxes that provide important nesting habitat for these state-threatened raptors. *** Bear Tavern Principal Chris Turnbull led a school-wide assembly to announce that Bear Tavern received a Green Flag award from Eco-Schools and the National Wildlife Federation. This is in addition to their Sustainable Jersey Bronze certification received earlier in the school year. The assembly also celebrated the success of its Outdoor Learning Area that flourished in under a year. They honored community conservation efforts by presenting awards to: The Barn at Gravity Hill, Bear Tavern PTO, former
Kestrel hatchlings in a nesting box in Hopewell Valley. Bear Tavern PTO president Christine Butrym, Cedar Creek, Cedar Hill Farm, Chickadee Creek Farm, local builder Dennis Dougherty, student volunteer Michaela Drake, FoHVOS, Hopewell Township Public Works, HTS Tree Care Professionals, HVEF, former Bear Tavern teacher Jay Ingalsbe, Mercer County Park Commission, Nectars, The OLA Committee, Neill and Belinda Overman, Swanson Family, TCNJ and Tom’s Tree Service. *** Riparian buffers are strips of forested land along rivers, streams and lakes that help keep pollution out. Trees and all the smaller plants under them provide neverending miles of root systems that absorb pollutants before they reach valuable waterways. Forested riparian buffers also provide extra storage for flood waters, and supply food and habitat for a variety of instream and riparian wildlife. That means the community can help keep our rivers and streams healthy by planting natives shrubs and trees that help restore water, soil, and ecosystems. Under a Roots to Rivers grant, Sourland Conservancy, New Jersey DEP, New Jersey Watershed Ambassadors, Mercer County Parks Commission, Howell Living History Farm, and more than 250 individuals, families, corporations and groups including Bank of America, Educational Testing Service, MCCCC YouthCorps volunteers planted 51 different species of native shrubs and trees totaling 1,800 in all. Lisa Wolff is executive director of Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space. Email: lwolff@fohvos.org.

It’s time to talk dirt. But if you were expecting a discussion of obscenity, programs for toddlers to teens political smears, or house cleaning, you will be disappointed. The dirt that I programs for toddlers to teens programs for toddlers to teens programs for toddlers toprograms teens for toddlers to teens need to talk about is real dirt, the kind we walk on and where we grow flowers, vegetables, trees and shrubs. As anyone knows who has had the misfortune of talking to me recently, after 41 years planted in Titusville we uprooted ourselves and made the harrowing move to Hopewell Borough. My primary challenge (beyond opening the mountains of unopened boxes) was cultivating a whole new garden on a site where, before the house was constructed, there was a The community music school Thecommunity community musicschool school The community The musicmusic school The community music school vacant lot. ofofWestminster College ofArts the Arts of University Rider University ofWestminster Westminster College the Arts RiderCollege University of Westminster College College of theofof the of Westminster of Arts Rider ofofRider University of the Arts of Rider University My Titusville garden had glorious, loamy registrations soil so fecund that by NOWaccepting accepting registrationsNOW accepting registrations NOWNOW accepting NOW accepting registrations registrations midsummer, I’d need a machete to get out the front door.

Thereunder lay the problem. Determined to fill the bed of “earth” in front of the house with specimens from my previous dwelling—columbine, bleeding hearts, sundrops, butterfly bushes, azaleas, lilies, irises and daffodils—I started to plant in a hurry. All was well, until I attempted to penetrate the surface of the ground with my shovel. What I discovered was that the ground in this portion of Hopewell, and especially around the newly constructed house, didn’t contain the kind of soil which I’d taken for granted. What it did have was rocks: hunks of red shale ranging in size from pebbles to boulders with maybe a little cement-like clay in between. Forget the shovel. I brought out the mattock and used dynamite to make a hole big enough to plant a single tulip bulb. (There’s Boulder, Colorado, and now I had found Boulder, New Jersey.) What kind of plant life could be supported in this soil? Further digging revealed that the dominant form of flora was pokeweed. Don’t know pokeweed? It’s a fleshy-stemmed, incredibly tough plant that can have roots as big as a weight lifter’s forearm and although birds like its purple berries, pokeweed is poisonous. Then, I discovered that rocks and pokeweed were not my only enemies. On one side of the lot was a great thicket of vines. When I peeked under the vines, I discovered a 25-foot American holly totally encased in what turned out to be Oriental Bittersweet, a noxious, invasive, overpowering strangler of trees with trunks as big as my forearms. (I am

not a weight lifter.) I attacked the vines at ground level with loppers. It took a day before the growth at the top of the tree became aware that I had severed its life source and began to wilt. In the process of pulling the vines out of the tree, I amassed a mountain of brush and uncovered multiple archaeological treasures: one football, two baseballs, one lacrosse ball, a beer bottle and numerous candy wrappers. The upside: Hopewell Borough picks up brush twice each month, and within days the vines were mulch. So, this was my welcome to gardening in Hopewell Borough: rocks, poisonous weeds and pernicious vines. (I should mention that the people of this town are intensely friendly and, not knowing what a curmudgeonly misanthrope I am, greeted me with plates of cookies.) Back to the soil, I was considering paving over the entire area around the house with three feet of macadam when I remembered the answer to every gardener’s dilemma: Sheep manure! In spite of my antisociality, I do have a few friends, and among that tiny population are friends with a sheep farm giving me unlimited access to unlimited quantities of sheep manure. I hacked away at the blood-red shale, discarded the bigger chunks, and within a week I had established a mini-tomato patch in a trench of sheep manure. (After all, NJ is the tomato state, and it is a crime to live here and not grow at least six heirloom varieties.) Then I rented an oil drilling rig to make holes for flowers, shrubs and a pair of dogwood seedlings. But I owe any success to sheep manure, the most wonderful substance on earth for earth. Let us sing a paean to sheep manure:

Oh, sheep manure, friend to farmers, gardeners and plants, So dark, so rich, so crumbly So nutritious to flowers and vegetables, trees and shrubs So inoffensive to the olfactory sense So beneficial to roots So miraculous Oh, sheep manure, how I do love thee!
Of course, now that I have conquered the earth, I have been assured by my amiable neighbors that the deer will eat everything, no question. But I have the answer. I’ll just sit on my front steps chewing noisily on haunches of halfcooked venison. Robin Schore lives in Hopewell Borough.
