A musical at the Fringe West Windsor residents collaborate in arts festival production By MADeleine MACCAR

GearChangers go international WW-P robotics team competes at world championships in Sydney, Australia By Justin Feil Much of the groundwork for the GearChangers robotics team’s world championship trip to Australia was laid in a West Windsor basement. The GearChangers—High
North students Emin Dagli, Milan Parikh, Veer Ruparel, Salar Sheriff, Aalind Tyagi and coach Shweta Ruparel (Veer’s mother)—met after school for hours each session at the Ruparel home. Their meticulous work together resulted in a national championship in New York in late May that earned the five and their coach a trip to the RoboCup2019 world championships in Sydney, Australia, during the first week of July.
And while the team didn’t come away with a world championship, they still feel they came away as winners. “At the end of the day, though, it was all a learning experience,” Sheriff said. “We realized how much the world level of robotics is different than the U.S. level. “Although I thought our performance was good, after going there and seeing all the other projects, it really inspired us to think of greater ideas. It was a See ROBOTICS, Page 6
West Windsor resident and incoming Julliard School student Louis Josephson says that he learned to speak through music. His natural passion was shaped and augmented by years of voice, piano and percussion lessons, as well as musical camps and pre-college programs. With the added to guidance of long-ago music teacher Shannon Ferrara, Josephson penned his first musical in sixth grade. “I thought it was bound for Broadway—I was, like, 12 and completely wrong, but I wrote it,” he laughs. The teenage composer hasn’t slowed down since that first piece. Now, with his first year of college coming on fast, Josephson’s most recent piece, Relapse The Musical, is just days from springing to life for its debut performance. When the fourth annual New Jersey Fringe Festival touches down in Hammonton Aug. 2-4, West Windsor will be well-represented. Joining Josephson is Shannon, who is musical director of Relapse The Musical, and her husband Frank, who’s directing

the production. The Ferraras are West Windsor residents, and Shannon is also a music teacher at Grover Middle School. The yearly three-day theater extravaganza that is the New Jersey Fringe Festival always brings any array of fine-arts experiences along with it, and this year’s installment is no exception. Productions are staged nearly nonstop across multiple venues all centralized around Hammonton’s Eagle Theater, in addition to the bevy of art, live music, food, and drinks that the festival offers event-goers between performances. And being a part of it is “a dream come true” for the young composer. “I’ve been dreaming about doing something like this forever,” he says. “It’s been incredible to see this idea that was in my head come to life.” Relapse The Musical is an 80-minute dramatic glimpse into the lives of five patients, a doctor and a nurse and the ways their paths interact and intersect in a mental institution. The production portrays the ways the patients arrived there, their individual journeys, and their interactions with each other and the staff. The plot itself taps into humor and the spectrum of nuanced human emotions. A total of 16 original songs explore how perceived weaknesses are really assets in disguise.

around town County unveils first campground
Residents and visitors to Mercer County will now have a chance to camp out with the creation of an overnight campground in the East Picnic Area of Mercer County Park off Old Trenton Road in West Windsor. County Executive Brian Hughes and the Mercer County Park Commission announced the opening of the campground at a ribbon-cutting ceremony July 1. The facility features 10 campsites, six with lean-to structures and four that will accommodate a tent. “With this new addition, the public can now enjoy an overnight stay in one of our premier parks,” Hughes said. “The campsites are a wonderful way to experience an outdoor retreat, and I encourage residents to take advantage of this new amenity.” The hike-in campground can hold six campers per site and has entry to trails throughout Mercer County Park, which offers activities including bike rentals, boating, fishing and hiking that are accessible from the campground. Campsites are available for rental through Community Pass for $20 per night with a maximum stay of seven consecutive days. Each campsite includes a campfire ring, picnic table and charcoal grill.

Dive Into Summer at West Windsor Gives Back event On Friday, Aug. 2 from 5-8 p.m., West Windsor Gives Back will be hosting its Second Annual “Dive Into Summer” event at West Windsor WaterWorks Family Aquatic Center in Community Park on Route 571. Originally scheduled in June, the event was postponed due to bad weather, but it will still feature all the fun activities initially planned. The event, which benefits the Princeton Junction Volunteer Fire Company, will include a DJ, games, prizes, and a water rescue demonstration, as well as a few surprises. Fire trucks will be onsite for kids of all ages to enjoy. Food will be available for purchase at the concession stand. And thanks to many generous local businesses, over a dozen items will be auctioned off in a silent auction. Of course, all of WaterWorks amenities will be available to attendees. In addition to swimming in the large family leisure pool, eight-lane lap pool, children’s wading pool, and two-story waterslide, the WaterWorks complex includes a children’s play area, basketball courts, and a “Rec Deck” recreation area. Two local businesses have generously agreed to sponsor the event: Healthy Kids Pediatric Group (Gold Sponsor), and Center for Orthodontic Excellence (Silver Sponsor). Admission is $5 for adults. Kids and pool members are free. All proceeds from this fundraiser will go directly to the Princeton Junction Volunteer Fire Company. Funds raised will be used to purchase a vehicle stabilization kit. This important safety equipment will be used to stabilize vehicles involved in accidents —even larger trucks and buses—so the occupants can be safely extracted. The new vehicle stabilization kit will increase the chances of survival for crash victims and help protect our first responders from injury. The Princeton Junction Volunteer Fire Company was founded in 1926 and has a long history of hosting community events, including spaghetti, ham, and roast beef dinners; strawberry festivals; rummage and bake sales; bingo; and weekend dances. The fire company remains 100% volunteer, drawing on 90-plus years of tradition and public service to the community. Although the township provides for many capital expenditures, daily operations, training, and maintenance are all funded by contributions from the community. To volunteer for the Princeton Junction Fire Company, email pjfd44@gmail. com or call 609-799-2112. Look for more information on pjfd.com or on Facebook at facebook.com/pjfd44.

Let’s turn election signs into park benches Every time we have a local election in West Windsor—be it a school board election or a council and/or mayoral election, the common practice has been to use corrugated plastic campaign signs larger than 18x24 inches. While they may seem sturdier, they weigh approximately half a pound each. At the end of an election, with more than four teams running—like this year, we can generate one ton of plastic waste for the landfill. If we instead use the light and economical polyethylene bag campaign signs, after the election, we can completely recycle them into park benches through our West Windsor Plastics for West Windsor Parks program. Candidates, please join us for this environmental initiative in West Windsor? Working together, we may be able to recycle 500 pounds of campaign bag signs and place our first recycled West Windsor Election bench in one of our parks—this November!

Veer Ruparel, Aalind Tyagi, Milan Parikh, Salar Sheriff and Emin Dagli with their “swarm” robots. ROBOTICS continued from Page 1 completely different thing, the international competition and national competition. I think we learned a lot in that way.” The five got their start in robotics years ago with First Lego League competitions that were sponsored by their school. By the time they moved up to Community Middle School they were ready for a bigger competition. They came close to winning nationals a year ago, but as eighth graders (Parikh was a freshman at North) they made a jump. “Last year, our reviews we got for improving was that you have to make your performance flawless,” Ruparel said. “We saw one group that had a flawless performance and they won with that, and we were just a little behind. He said that this year the team chose a concept they were comfortable with. “One that we could really work on and grasp well,” he said. “It really worked out for us at nationals.” The GearChangers built their project based on the concept of swarm robotics—the coordination of multiple compact robots. They designed nine robots that featured programmable LED lights to sim-
ulate the busy lights and movement in New York City. The team had become more interested in swarm robotics after a watching a video and seeing how the concept was catching on globally. “For the 2018 Winter Olympics, they used swarm robotics,” Dagli said. “They used drones to make shapes and patterns in the skies.” He said there’s also talk about using the nano-robots for delicate medical proceedures, like microsurgery. The idea was a hit at nationals where it went flawlessly for the GearChangers. They topped the other competitors to advance to the RoboCup in the Preliminary Division for the youngest and least experienced competitors. There are two divisions for older, more experienced teams. “Last year we knew how it felt to not reach the world level,” Sheriff said. “This year we learned from our mistakes and used those to get us to worlds.” The team feels the same coming out of the world championships this year. They are looking to do better next year at the international level. “The team is totally inspired and excited to build something really innovative the next time,” said Shweta Ruparel.

aspects of robotics that we like more,” Sheriff said. He and Tyagi are good at the software side of things, so they did the coding for things like the robots’ movements. Ruparel and Dagli, meanwhile, are better with hardware, and they were responsible for building the robots and other mechanical aspects. “In the middle, we’d always switch it up to make sure we knew what was going on,” Sheriff said. “Even though I was on software, I made sure to help out in hardware so I knew what was going on. “If you completely isolate the two things, you’re going to end up with something that you don’t know how it works and that wouldn’t be too if something goes wrong. We practiced so if something went wrong in our robot, everyone on the team knew how to fix it even if it wasn’t our role. We tried to split it up and make sure everybody knew at the same time.” In addition to showing off their own project, the GearChangers found value in their interactions with their international competition. The collaboration was just as important for their futures as the competition was. Tyagi said that besides Robocup, there was also a challenge called Super team, which called for them to work with a team from another country. “We worked with the team from Israel and from Italy,” he said. “Despite being from different countries and having different technologies there, we realized how similar our performances and our technologies could be. “With one of the teams, there’s something called a Bluetooth module where you can communicate with the robots via Bluetooth, and we all use the same Bluetooth module and code for it. We realized despite being from different countries, we all have similarities in the end to combine to create a bigger and better performance.” Creating a bigger and better project is the goal for next year. The GearChangers spoke to a number of teams that had improved in their second year at worlds, and that is their goal going forward. “Next year, we can go to worlds again,” Ruparel said. “In worlds, we saw a lot of teams that were experienced from last year going to worlds their second time. They were really experienced because we saw their performance and they really improved on what they did.” The group will head back to his basement to plan their next moves. They will be looking for an even more dynamic project with a new focus to win nationals again and do even better at next year’s international RoboCup. “The team is really hard working,” Shweta Ruparel said. “They’re pretty committed. They’re all passionate. All these factors make a good project and good idea work. I’ve been coaching them and they have been working in front of me so I see that. They can do very good in the future.”
F
“As far as the technology, we were quite advanced.” The GearChangers feel more confident after seeing the sort of technology and projects that others did. “Everyone in the U.S. uses very similar technologies,” Tyagi said. “When you start going international, there are different types of technologies that different countries use. It makes a pretty big difference in how the performance turns out.” The way teams present a project is also important. The GearChangers saw how crucial it was for the competition. “You need a theme that engages with the audience,” Tyagi said. “Without that, your performance is kind of meaningless, because the audience doesn’t know what’s going on and neither do the judges.” He added that the judges behave like an audience, and engaging the audience and combining technologies is important. “This swarm robotics is a new concept that not a lot of people know,” Ruparel said. “And we showed that in our performance. We did it well in our opinion, so a lot of people will understand what swarm robotics is now and maybe they’ll try next year.” He added that they are confident with swarm robotics and wanted to show people the new concept, and he hoped they liked it. The GearChangers also enjoy working with each other on projects and entering competitions. Sherrif said its always better when people like what they’re working on and who they’re working with. “I’ve found if a team is forced together with people you don’t like it might not go so well,” he said. “But since we’re all very good friends, that really plays a role in how everything is done. We all start to accept each other’s ideas, and we all like each other as friends so it’s easier to work around and with each other.” The students need each other to make the best project possible. “It’s hard to make one robot just by yourself, let alone nine,” said Dagli. “We found the teamwork aspect of it really helped us work faster and more precisely.” Added Parikh: “A lot of times what we’d do as a team is split up on a problem or designate a pair of people to a specific problem and another group to another problem.” He said that towards the end of the project, the team members would come back together, discuss their progress and the go back to work. “We would try to find our own solutions to whatever the problem would be and then tell the whole group,” he said. “A lot of times we’d talk about what to do, what’s next, instead of just working, and how we could fix this or that.” Each of the students brings something unique to the group, with their assorted strengths blending together to create a championship project. “We try to let each other work on the

I have to trust her because she did so much good for me. Besides, I’ve seen many of the shows she and Frank have done at Kelsey Theatre, and they are always absolutely spectacular.” Shannon says that although she is reluctant to take credit for her role in any of her students’ blossoming talents, “I’m proud of my program as a whole, I’m proud of all my students, and I’m proud of Louis, but I won’t say that I made them who they are.” Frank echoes Josephson’s sentiments about his wife’s ability to inspire the young students in her care. “What she won’t say is that she is very good at making students think music is exciting and interesting and fun,” Frank says. “Growing up, I had bad music teachers who always made everything feel so ho-hum. Shannon teaches in a way that makes it fun, and I think you can see it in Louis.” Shannon does agree that Josephson’s musical passion is a force to be reckoned with. “He’s not even in college yet and Louis is already a published composer, he’s done pieces that I got to premier with him before,” she says. “It is just so cool to see Louis grow as a composer and musician because he’s a really talented, accomplished kid. I feel so lucky that I get to see a part of his musical journey.” All three of them feel like New Jersey Fringe Festival is just the beginning of that journey. “I feel like that, with any play, the ultimate goal is always New York,” Frank says.
“We want to see this show on Broadway,” Josephson confirms. “The Fringe Festival is sort of quasi-worship. We want to see this on stage and show it to people, and it is our dream to get this show on Broadway.” Until then, Josephson is focused on ensuring that Relapse gets a message out that he feels is crucial to share with others: making it less taboo to talk about the mental-health issues that are all too often swept under the rug, despite being increasingly common ground that he feels anyone can—and should—relate to. “We’re all affected by mental health in some way, either because we ourselves have a mental illness that we’re dealing with or someone we know does—mental health is part of our every day,” he says. “We want to share a story through Relapse, we want it to help destigmatize mental illness, and we want to educate people. It’s not about being crazy: It’s about just being a person, and we want the audience to walk away understanding that message of our show.” “Relapse The Musical” will be performed upstairs at Eagle eXperience, located at 107 Vine Street, Hammonton. Its five-performance run starts Friday at 9:30 p.m., followed by three performances on Saturday (3:30, 6:30 and 10:30 p.m.) and a final 1 p.m. show Sunday. It is recommended for ages 13+ for mild language and content. Go to jerseyfringe.com for more information about the New Jersey Fringe Festival, or louisjosephson.com to learn more about Josephson’s portfolio and accomplishments.

7-Eleven employee charged with stealing lottery tickets Shadi Khorram, 36, of years West Windsor was charged with theft for allegedly stealing winnings from lottery tickets while she worked at 7-Eleven on Princeton-Hightstown Road.

Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell
Earns National Award for Quality
Third Consecutive “A” Awarded by the Leapfrog Group’s Hospital Safety Grade Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell was awarded an ‘A’ from The Leapfrog Group’s spring 2019 Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade for the third consecutive time. The designation recognizes the hospital’s efforts in protecting patients from harm and providing safer health care. The Leapfrog Group is a national nonprofit organization committed to improving health care quality and safety for consumers and purchasers. The Safety Grade assigns an ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’ or ‘F’ grade to hospitals across the country based on their performance in preventing medical errors, injuries, accidents, infections and other harms to patients in their care. “Capital Health Medical Center - Hopewell is home to services like our Cancer Center, Center for Digestive Health, Orthopaedics, and Pediatric Services to name a few. Earning an ‘A’ from The Leapfrog Group for the third time in a row reassures the residents in our community that we continue to be a leader in health care for the region,” said Al Maghazehe, president and CEO, Capital Health. “As an organization, Capital Health is committed to improving quality and safety outcomes, and this recognition validates our efforts,” said Dr. Louis D’Amelio, vice president of Clinical Performance at Capital Health. “Our dedication to patient safety is supported by ongoing initiatives that ensure we continue to make sustained improvements and meet nationally recognized standards of care.”
“To be recognized nationally as an ‘A’ hospital is an accomplishment the whole community should take pride in,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “Hospitals that earn an ‘A’ grade are making it a priority to protect patients from preventable medical harm and error. We congratulate hospital leaders, board members, staff, volunteers and clinicians who work so hard to earn this A.” To see Capital Health Medical Center - Hopewell’s full grade details, and to access patient tips for staying safe in the hospital, go to hospitalsafetygrade.org or visit capitalhealth.org for more information.

Capital Health at Deborah – Emergency Services Satellite Emergency Department Launches at Deborah Heart and Lung Center As of 12 a.m. on July 1, Capital Health assumed operation of the satellite emergency department (SED) located on the Browns Mills campus of Deborah Heart and Lung Center, an 89-bed teaching hospital that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of congenital and acquired heart, lung, and vascular diseases in adults, as well as providing outpatient cardiology services for children. Deborah is Burlington County’s only fully licensed cardiac center.
president and CEO Joseph Chirichella, who noted that the two organizations have entered into a larger partnering agreement to expand access to the specialized services offered by each hospital in their greater service areas.
The newly named SED, Capital Health at Deborah – Emergency Services, is licensed by the New Jersey State Department of Health and fills the vacancy left by Lourdes Medical Center of Burlington County after Lourdes’ planned termination of services on June 30, 2019. The 10,000 square foot SED operates 24 hours a day and features 11 exam/treatment rooms, triage bay, cardiac resuscitation room, specialized treatment areas (including OB/ GYN and isolation/decontamination), support services such as lab and radiology, a comfortable waiting area, and ample parking at an easy to drive to location.
“First and foremost, we could not have found a better partner to operate the SED,” he added. “Capital Health’s experience makes them ideal to assume the emergency department operations management. For the past ten years, patients have come to expect a high level of service and care. We are pleased that they will continue to receive this high level of medical care under a seamless transition. More importantly, our strategic partnership with Capital Health will open the doors to specialty services in our area and on our campus, services that are needed in the community. As well, this partnership paves the way for an integration of cardiac services that will benefit the residents of Mercer County, who will enjoy a closer connection to the highest level of cardiac care available. This collaboration and partnership is a win-win situation for both communities.”
“Communities that Deborah serves depend on the SED at Deborah, and our goal is to not only meet but exceed their expectations when they need emergency medical services,” said Al Maghazehe, Capital Health’s president and CEO. “We are excited to begin this journey with our new partners at Deborah and look forward to building upon the services offered at the SED.”
“Deborah’s reputation for excellence in cardiac care and best practices aligns with Capital Health’s high standards and commitment to quality,” said Samuel J. Plumeri, Jr., chairman, Capital Healthcare Corporation Board of Directors. “As partners, we will continue to provide the highest level of emergency medical services to the Burlington and Ocean County communities.”
“The community, and Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, will benefit from this range of specialized services which Capital Health will bring to its strategic partnership with Deborah,” said

Capital Health Regional Medical Center Earns NATIONAL RECOGNITION for Comprehensive Stroke Care Capital Health Regional Medical Center (RMC) has received the American Heart Association/ American Stroke Association’s Get With The Guidelines® Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award. The award recognizes the hospital’s commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines based on the latest scientific evidence. According to the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and a leading cause of adult disability in the United States. On average, someone in the U.S. suffers a stroke every 40 seconds and nearly 795,000 people suffer a new or recurrent stroke each year. RMC earned the Get With The Guidelines® Target: Stroke Honor Roll Elite Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award by meeting specific quality achievement measures for the diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients at a set level for a designated period. These measures include evaluation of the proper use of medications and other stroke treatments aligned with the most up-to-date, evidence-based guidelines with the goal of speeding recovery and reducing death and disability for stroke patients. Before discharge, patients should also receive education on managing their health, get a follow-up visit scheduled, as well as other care transition interventions.
Additionally, RMC received the American Heart Association/ American Stroke Association’s Target: StrokeSM Honor Roll Elite award. To qualify for this recognition, hospitals must meet quality measures developed to reduce the time between the patient’s arrival at the hospital and treatment with the clot-buster tissue plasminogen activator, or tPA, the only drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat ischemic stroke. Capital Health Regional Medical Center is the only Comprehensive Stroke Center in the region certified by The Joint Commission, and one of only eight such hospitals in New Jersey. And as part of Capital Health’s Capital Institute for Neurosciences, it is available for patients who require the most advanced treatments for neurovascular and stroke care including neuroendovascular, neurosurgical and stroke services. In addition, Capital Health launched its innovative Mobile Stroke Unit in early 2017, designed to bring time-critical stroke care to patients at their home, or wherever it is dispatched to assess them. It was the first unit of its kind in New Jersey, Pennsylvania or the Delaware Valley and was only the seventh to go live in the United States.

CAPITAL HEALTH RECEIVES NEW QUALITY-BASED ACCREDITATION FROM DNV GL Capital Health has earned hospital accreditation from DNV GL – Healthcare, a certification body that helps health care organizations achieve excellence by improving quality and patient safety. By earning this accreditation, both Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell and Capital Health Regional Medical Center demonstrate that they meet or exceed patient safety standards and Conditions of Participation set forth by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). DNV GL’s accreditation program is the only one to integrate the ISO 9001 Quality Management System with the Medicare Conditions of Participation. “The DNV GL program is consistent with our commitment to quality and patient safety and aligns with the important initiatives that support our organizational culture,” said Al Maghazehe, president and CEO of Capital Health. “The program includes the integration of ISO 9001 quality standards with our clinical and financial processes, which will be a major move forward for the entire organization.” Capital Health has three years from the date of its accreditation to achieve compliance with ISO 9001, the world’s most trusted quality management system used by performance-driven organizations around the world to advance their quality and sustainability objectives.
“We have taken an entirely different approach to accreditation, and hospitals are really responding,” says DNV GL - Healthcare CEO Patrick Horine. “Since accreditation is a musthave credential for just about every hospital in this country, why not make it more valuable, and get more out of it? That’s where ISO 9001 comes into play, and turns the typical get-your-ticketpunched accreditation exercise into a quality transformation.” DNV GL’s accreditation program, called National Integrated Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (NIAHO®), involves annual hospital surveys – instead of every three years – and encourages hospitals to openly share information across departments and discover improvements in clinical workflows and safety protocols. “Our hospital accreditation from DNV GL – Healthcare aligns with our journey to high reliability with a philosophy that links compliance with quality and safety standards, making improvements, and then sustaining those improvements over time,” said Dr. Louis D’Amelio, vice president of Clinical Performance at Capital Health. “Holding on-site surveys every year will help us to quickly apply the high, nationally recognized standards from ISO 9001 and CMS to be able to give our patients the best possible outcomes.” Health Headlines by Capital Health | THE NEWS13

sports Versatile Soper played every position on WW-P Legion team By Justin Feil Blaney Soper found some unexpected opportunities when he joined the West Windsor-Plainsboro American Legion baseball team. It reunited him with some former Community Middle School teammates that he wasn’t sure he’d ever play with again after going to The Hun School for high school. And it allowed him the unique accomplishment of playing every position in the field. “I’ll play wherever to help us win, that’s my mentality,” he said. “In college, I know versatility is one of my strengths. It was definitely fun to play all the positions.” Soper played left field and pitched at Hun and expects to be in a similar role at the University of Chicago where he’ll be a freshman this fall, started playing his usual spots before branching out to positions he hadn’t played since as far back as West Windsor Little League. “When I was younger, I did play a lot of positions,” Soper said. “As I got older, as I was thinking about college recruiting, I narrowed it down to pitching and outfield. It’s kind of funny that now for Legion I went back to playing anywhere.
16THE NEWS | July 31, 2019
It’s come full circle.” Soper proved capable of playing wherever he was put. “I caught two or three times this year which was easily the hardest position,” Soper said. “I filled in at first base so I already had first, pitcher, left and catcher. I played third base because I played infield way back in the day, and then I played center field when our starting center fielder went to pitch. At that point, I was only missing right, shortstop and second base. “Our coach, Ryan Strype, he was joking, ‘We’re going to get you at every position this season.’ It was kind of an ongoing joke, and then I only needed shortstop and right and we were playing against Trenton and we had a pretty solid lead so they tossed me in those positions. Nothing was hit to me unfortunately but I did get all nine.” Soper was also a regular contributor at the top of the lineup, where he hit anywhere from second to fourth. Soper blasted a two-run double in WW-P’s fiverun sixth inning to help take the lead on their way to a 10-9 win over North Hamilton in the last inning of their final game July 15. WW-P finished the final half of the season strong, but at 9-14 was the
In addition to playing baseball, Blaney Soper of West Windsor was also class president at The Hun School. He is pictured above addressing his peers. final team to miss the playoffs that went to the top eight Mercer County American Legion Legion teams. “It’s been an up and down year,” said Bob DeLuca, who was WW-P co-manager with Andrew Schoenblum for the second straight summer. “We’re very pleased with the fact that we did so well when we lost so many kids to injury. Some of our best talent hasn’t played half the games. We pieced it together and we’re proud of the kids who have been there every day.” WW-P in hindsight might have liked to replay a few of the games, including the precursor to their final game of the year in which they lost a one-run lead to North Hamilton in the final inning of a continuation game after a couple of errors. North Hamilton ended up earning the final playoff spot. “At the beginning of the season, we asked them three things,” DeLuca said. “Come and show up and play hard. And leave everything on the field. And execute, and we explained that sometimes quality at bats are outs, but if it moves runners that’s a quality at bat.” Soper was the epitome of versatility in the field. He had spent previous summers displaying his talents in travel baseball and at showcase events as he built a portfolio of strong play for college recruiters, but after graduating from high school was looking for something new this summer. “I really enjoyed my experience with Legion,” he said. “I think it was perfect for me. I wasn’t trying to showcase at this point so I was just interested in trying to get my reps, and leagues like Legion aren’t that common. There are Sunday leagues scattered here and there, but this is a consistent league where you’re playing three or four games a week and it’s competitive and you’re playing against all your friends.
“At Hun I got to play against all my friends who just graduated. That was an interesting experience to play against my old teammates. It was fun and competitive. And I got a chance to play with some people from West Windsor that I hadn’t seen in a while so that was a great experience.” Soper believes if the circumstances were just a little different WW-P would have finished July playing in the playoffs. At full strength, the team felt good about its chances to take on anyone. “I think our chemistry towards the end of the year got a lot better,” Soper said. “Early on, it was kind of tough because we had kids graduating and going on vacation. There were a lot of conflicts in everyone’s schedule so it felt like we didn’t have our best team together early on the season. “I felt like when we could put our best nine on the field we could compete with anybody. Towards the end we were definitely firing on all cylinders and we believed we could compete with whoever was on the field with us.” WW-P won four straight down the stretch before critically dropping a pair of games in their final weekend and then splitting the final day of the season. Even when they were undermanned, WW-P put together good efforts. “We had a couple sophomores that started,” DeLuca said. “Some teams had a lot of college kids. We’re competitive. I wish our record was better. We lost a couple one-run games that hurt. We competed with the talent we had. On Sunday, we competed with (Hamilton) 31 who’s one of the best teams and only lost 4-0.” DeLuca is optimistic that if the core returns from this year’s team, WW-P can again be in the mix for a playoff spot next year. “I think we’re going to be competitive again,” DeLuca said. “Hopefully we’ll retain most of the kids. It’s hard to say from one year to the next. We lost a kid that played in college and his coach wanted him to play at a higher level. Everyone else that was eligible came back.” Soper enjoyed a new opportunity with WW-P, and he’s looking forward to the next step in his career and playing at Chicago, where he will major in neuroscience and complete pre-med courses. He is a preferred walk-on for Chicago, but will have to earn his way onto the team. The Legion season extended his spring and allowed him to sharpen his skills in live action while also having some fun playing every position possible. “I know the coach likes me a lot pitching wise and I think he likes me hitting and he likes me in the outfield,” Soper said. “If I do make the team, I think I’d be a two-way guy, pitching and playing the outfield. I don’t see myself catching or playing infield or anything like that.”

Real Estate Insights with Donna Reilly & Ellen Calman
Planning a move? Read this first
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, more than 35million Americans move each year. If you’re one of them and are planning to hire a moving company, take a minute to read these tips from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration: 1. Make sure the mover or broker is registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and check their complaint record by visiting www. protectyourmove. gov. Read about your rights and responsibilities on this website too. 2. Avoid movers that do not show U.S. DOT numbers and brokers that do not show Motor Carrier (MC) numbers in their advertisements. 3. Movers must give written estimates. Brokers must issue written estimates if they provide estimates. 4. Do not sign blank or incomplete documents. 5. Make sure you understand the type of liability you sign for. This is a common pitfall for consumers. For example, ask yourself if 60 cents per pound is enough coverage for all your household goods if the unexpected happens. 6. Supervise the loading and unloading of your household goods, or appoint a representative to act
