The buck stopped here
Tindall Road Brewing hits city
Dollar bill artist had Bordentown connections
By JOe eMansKi
By Dan auBrey American artist Gilbert Stuart said the following about his first portrait session with George Washington: “When I painted him, he had just had a set of false teeth inserted, which accounts for the constrained expression so noticeable about the mouth and lower part of the face.” Yet despite the 65-year-old Washington’s down-in-themouth countenance, the sittings with Washington produce what is arguably the most famous portrait of any United States president—one readily on view in any cash register. Obviously it is the dollar bill Washington. Not so obvious is that the creator of the buck image’s stopped here and had a house and studio in Bordentown between 1803 and 1805. And probably not much of consideration is that the dollar image is actually one in a series of replicas created by Stuart between the above mentioned 1795 painting session and the artist’s death in 1828. Based on the premise that people would want a portrait of Washington from an artist who was actually face-to-face with the great man, the Washington portrait was Stuart’s own dollar maker. And in addition to more than 1,000 portraits of mainly famous or wealthy Americans, Stuart cranked out 130 finished WashSee STUART, Page 8
Sharon Williams, with sons Sam and Luke, right before running her 50th half marathon in her 50th state: Anchorage, Alaska.
The races of a lifetime Woman finishes 50 half marathons before turning 50 By siDDharTh Muchhal Five years ago, Bordentown resident Sharon Williams was chatting with her friends when they made a bold plan. They had begun running half-marathons together a while back, but wanted to take it to the next level. Over the next few years, before they reached 50 years of age, they challenged themselves to run 50 half-marathons in all 50 U.S. states. However, unlike most bold propositions made by friends and shortly forgotten thereafter, Williams actually stuck to the goal. Currently a practicing audiologist in Princeton, Williams had never been an avid runner until she began working. “I played sports in high school,
and when I was in college I ran on and off, but nothing big,” she said. “I didn’t pick up running until I started working, and had to stop for a while when I had kids, but I picked it back up because it’s a great mental break.” Williams developed her passion for running along with her husband, Vaughan Williams, who works in pharmaceutical marketing in North Jersey. “Back when Sharon and I were dating, in 1999, I was in the Navy and ran the Philadelphia marathon. Apparently that inspired her, so the next year we ran the Marine Corps marathon together,” Vaughan said. While Sharon enjoyed the marathons, she didn’t feel the distance was right for her. “Full marathons are just too long, with the training and recovery and the running time itself. But it does take me 3-4 miles to get my legs warmed up, so 5Ks
are too short since I’m not a sprinter. 10Ks are alright, but I think the half marathon was just more of a challenge for me.” Vaughan himself wasn’t a fan of running before joining the Navy. “I ran a year of cross country in high school and hated it. But when I joined the Navy, I had to run because physical fitness was a big part of the job. I started to run a lot more, and that led me to marathons. Later, I started running a lot more 5Ks,” he said. Vaughan joined Sharon in all 50 states, but generally ran smaller distances, unless the half marathon was the only option. “I would call myself a reluctant runner. I’m not somebody who runs miles every day, but I try to get in shape for races. I’m now much more interested in shorter races.” After the initial reaction, the Williams’ realized that this See WILLIAMS, Page 5
Just a month after Bordentown City’s first modern brewery closed, another has already taken its place. Tindall Road Brewing Company opened its doors to the public for the first time July 19. The opening was the culmination of two years of preparation for brewer-owner Dan Pogorzelski and his wife and partner, Marci Warboys. Common Sense Brewing owners Eric Eaves, Marc Selover and Robin Selover ceased operations at 102 Farnsworth Ave. in early June. They sold their brewing license to Tindall Road, and the latter moved into the space and quickly began brewing. The Bordentown Current attempted to contact a representative from Common Sense Brewing for comment on its closing, but the brewery’s website and social media sites have either been shut down or stripped of content, and an email we have for Eric Eaves returns an undeliverable message. Common Sense was open from September 2017 to June 2019. The brewery’s tasting room has been painted, and some tables have been moved around, but long-time Common Sense customers will probably feel right at home. One noteworthy change to the facility comes not in the tasting room, but in operations, where See BREWING, Page 6

WILLIAMS cont. from Page 1 goal would require a lot of logistical and physical preparation. To prepare for the races, Sharon began a running regimen that would help her acclimate to the distance. “I tried to do 2-3 short runs and 1-2 long runs each week, with a day of rest,” she said. “On work days I would run 3-5 miles, and on my off days, I would ramp it up. However, training mostly in New Jersey wasn’t always the best because we don’t have hills, and the temperature and humidity can be quite different across states.” In order to reach all 50 states in the necessary timeline, the Williams’ also got a crash course in scheduling and budgeting, especially with their two children: Luke, 13 and Sam, 11. “Some of the hardest parts were planning, because we weren’t always able to take the kids, so I’d have to get my parents or friends to help out,” Sharon said. “It was a fun exercise seeing how to get to some of these places, and how to manage a schedule,” Vaughan said. “From our experiences, we divided the locations in America into direct flights and connecting flights. Sharon and I both work, and we live pretty modestly, so we try to save up, do one or two a month, find good deals on flights and hotels, and put it all together.” Because of the goal and timeline, the Williams family and their friends often had to race on back-to-back days. “One time I signed up without looking at the times closely, so I had to do a race in Indiana starting at 7 p.m. on a Saturday, and then another race in Ohio at 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, which was quite crazy,” Sharon said. Scheduling and organizing around available half marathons became quite difficult, especially by the end. “It only got really hard with the last four: Alaska, Hawaii, and North and South Dakota,” Vaughan said. “We struggled with the calendar and timing in the Dakotas because there were only a few races, and so it was really cold when we ran in South Dakota and quite rainy and cold in North Dakota.” However, when they were able to plan accordingly, the Williamses turned these trips into mini-holidays, and enjoyed the chance to explore America. “We would look up what is specific to the area and try to do that. For example, when we went to Colorado we went to a Rockies game, and when we were in Chicago we went to a Cubs game,” Sharon said. Vaughan recommended that “everyone” travel to Kansas or the Pacific Northwest just to see the full scope of the country. “People have different values and priorities, and we saw that,” he said. “Our general routine was to fly in, run the race, and use whatever time we had left to explore the local area and cuisine. We also had a no-chain restaurant policy during these trips, so we always tried to eat local. We
ate in small town diners in Louisiana, tried the cheese curds in Wisconsin, and the salmon in the Pacific Northwest.” While the people and locations they visited were quite unique, the family found a similarity between the runners these states, specifically their positive attitude. “Runners are runners everywhere,” Vaughan said. “It didn’t matter if you were in Mississippi or Maine, runners are enthusiastic and supportive. We actually ran into a lot of people doing the same thing, so you get to check in and swap stories.” “If you talk to runners, they’re really friendly,” Sharon said. “You can just walk up and talk to most of them at the starting line and that was pretty cool since that isn’t common in places like New York City.” During their quest to race in all 50 states, the Williamses participated in races with unique themes, locations,and climates. In Idaho, they ran down a mountain, where Sharon reached her personal best time for the half-marathon: 2 hours and 13 minutes. In Kansas, they participated in a race with the theme of “Run with the Cows,” while in Michigan, it was “Run with the Aliens.” In Nebraska, the race took them straight through a cornfield, and in Detroit, through a snowstorm. In Wyoming, Sharon ran her smallest race, with only 25 runners, and in Oklahoma, she placed third, her best finish. In Maine, they ran through Acadia National Park. Finally, for her last race, the Williamses headed to Alaska. The whole family attended, and a friend from work ran alongside, to celebrate Sharon completing her goal. Through these experiences, Sharon and Vaughan learned a great deal, both about running and new experiences in general. “I learned to not give up, and to keep going. I also learned to go with the flow and laugh, since there’s so many things that can happen, whether it be getting stranded at the airport or missing the race altogether,” Sharon said. For Vaughan, his favorite part of the experience was seeing his wife work towards this goal and “enjoy this experience. She’s competitive, and watching her get through these races and keep an eye on the time has been great. She trains really hard, and she got really into it, so getting to spend time with her and watching her set her mind on this goal has been really cool.” The Williamses are grateful for their friends and family. “We coud not have done this without the support of our families, especially with the kids,” Vaughan said. Sharon, who turned 50 on July 10, is finally finished with her half-marathon goal, and not too keen on the other goals of the Fifty 50 Half-Marathon club, which include running 100 half-marathons, or running a marathon on each continent. However, she is already looking forward to her next race in Annapolis. “Don’t let fear hold you back,” Sharon said. You only live once, so make time to do things that challenge yourself, and enjoy it.”

BREWING cont. from Page 1 Pogorzelski will be fermenting in stainless steel tanks. Common Sense used plastic fermenters. Pogorzelski, 44, has been interested in craft beer almost from the time he was old enough to drink alcohol. “Everybody’s dad was always drinking Coors Light or Bud Light,” he says. “When I came to be of age, I always wanted to try something different—I was drinking IPAs like Sierra Nevada and stuff like that.” He bought his first homebrew kit 20 years ago, when he and Warboys lived in California. After they came back to New Jersey to live, he continued brewing, with supplies and guidance from Princeton Homebrew (now Solar Homebrewing) in Trenton. When the couple got married, Pogorzelski made a pumpkin ale to be given away as a wedding favor. “I do enjoy doing it,” he says. “My biggest satisfaction is seeing people enjoy what I made.” Warboys and Pogorzelski have been trying to get their brewery up and running since 2017. The name Tindall Road Brewing comes from the couple’s home street in Robbinsville. They thought they might one day open in Robbinsville. But the process can be daunting, especially in New Jersey where there is a backlog of applicants for brewing licenses and a great deal of red tape in general. It can take 18 months for a new brewery to get a license in New Jersey. Warboys says they had resigned
graduating from Steinert High School in 1992. He is an environmental field technician with Environmental Resource Management, an international environmental consulting firm. Warboys grew up in Bristol, Pennsylvania. She is a special education teacher in the Montgomery School district. The couple has two children: August, 15, a student at Robbinsville High School,
and Izzy, 13, a student at Pond Road Middle School. Warboys says she thought turning her husband’s hobby into a business would be good for the whole family. “I wanted to show my kids that you can put your mind to something big and get it done,” she says. “And I thought, ‘What does Dan love to do?’ And that’s how this came about.” At a closed-door event for family and friends held last week at the brewery, the kids gave guests tours of the facility. “They’ve been watching their dad do this in the garage since they were born,” Warboys says. Warboys and Pogorzelski treated July 19 as a soft opening. They plan to have a grand opening sometime in late August or early September. Although pets will not be allowed in the tasting room, Pogorzelski and Warboys say the facility will be kid friendly. New Jersey law prohibits breweries from making or selling food on premises, but visitors are allowed to bring food in from outside. The brewery is permitted to provide customers with menus from nearby restaurants, which Warboys says they will do. They also plan to host live music at the brewery. In the future, they also hope to bring in some games like shuffleboard, pinball and skeeball, although that is subject to approval from the state Alcoholic Beverage Control. “We want to make this a friendly place, where people can come and have a craft beer 30 feet from where we make it,” Pogorzelski says.

STUART continued from Page 1 ington portraits of various sizes. The irony is that the painting Stuart used to complete the others wasn’t finished. It was created mainly as means to mass produce other portraits in order to make a buck — like an early Andy Warhol. An additional irony is that the artist never saw Washington on the bill or made a cent from it. An engraved image of the painting first appeared in 1869 around the time that paper currency was introduced. And while other images got thrown into the mix, Stuart’s portrait kept reappearing until it became “the” dollar image in the early 20th century. And with billions of dollar bills circulating at any given time, the Washington portrait can easily be called the image seen ’round the world for more than a century. The various paintings in Stuart’s series have different names attached them for reference, and the unfinished one is called the Athenaeum portrait. The name refers to the Boston Athenaeum, where the work was sent for keeping after the artist died in Boston. While the image was chosen for the dollar because it was reputed to capture Washington’s exact likeness, it really may have been selected because it was popular and was in a good number of influential collections. Philadelphia artist Rembrandt Peale — whose artist father Charles Willson Peale fought with Washington at the Battle of Princeton and painted the portrait on display at the Princeton University Art Museum — said he admired Stuart’s painting, but there was a “deviation from the true style and character of (his) head.” But the image suggested a strength and serenity that many Americans wanted when the nation was still young and as uncertainty about a democratic nation was rekindled during the Civil War. Once Stuart’s image was mass produced on the dollar it transformed the actual Washington into a secular icon — and transformed Stuart’s unfinished work into a national treasure that is now jointly owned by the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Another Stuart version of Washington, the Pennington portrait, is owned by the United States Senate and is connected to the region. According to Senate materials, the painting “takes its name from its first owner, Edward Pennington, a Philadelphian who was a founder of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. It may be assumed that Pennington acquired the Washington portrait around the time Stuart was in Bordentown, New Jersey, where Stuart left his family while he was in Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, where at least some of Pennington’s family lived.” The Senate’s information is only partially complete. One reason Stuart moved to Bordentown was he was chasing politically connected and well heeled clients and Bordentown, located a between Washington and Boston,
A self-portrait of Gilbert Stuart, the artist whose painting of George Washington appears on the dollar bill. helped that effort. Another was the artist was broke. Although successful and heavy with clients, Stuart was often in debt due to his poor money management and high living lifestyle. So Bordentown became an affordable place that allowed him to keep a family while pursuing clients in Philadelphia and New York. So who exactly is Stuart? The National Gallery calls him “the preeminent portraitist in Federal America. He combined a talent for recording likeness with an ability to interpret a sitter’s personality or character in the choice of pose, color and style of clothing, and setting. He introduced to America the loose, brushy style used by many of the leading artists of late 18th century London. He recorded likenesses of lawyers, politicians, diplomats, Native Americans, their wives and children. His sitters included many prominent Americans, among them the first five presidents, their advisors, families, and admirers. He is known especially for his numerous portraits of George Washington.” The National Gallery also plots out his biography: “Born in 1755 in North Kingston, Rhode Island, Stuart was baptized with his name spelled ‘Stewart.’ His father, an immigrant Scot, built and operated a snuff mill that may have led to the artist’s addiction to snuff. He grew up in the trading city of Newport, where itinerant Scottish portraitist Cosmo Alexander (1724-1772) gave him his earliest training in painting. He accompanied Alexander to Scotland in 1771, returning home at the older artist’s death. Three years later in 1775, on the eve of the American Revolution, he went to London, where he worked for five years (1777-1782) as assistant to the Anglo-American painter Benjamin West. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1777 to 1785, using the name Gilbert Charles Stuart the first year.” After gaining success for a 1782 paint-

Gilbert Stuart’s unfinished portrait of George Washington ended up as one of the most iconic images of the president. ing, “The Skater,” Stuart established his own portrait painting practice, married, and moved to Dublin, where he painted portraits of the Protestant ruling minority. Then in 1793 he returned to the United States. And while he sometimes said he was returning because he loved liberty, others suggested he loved not being in British jails for unpaid bills. So it is not a wonder that his return to the United States included a plan to get rich and secure an American reputation. The key was to go big and paint a portrait of the biggest name in the United States: George Washington. His first step was to head to New York City, where he successfully painted himself into a crowd of influential Americans. Then, according to the National Gallery, “after about a year in New York City he went to Philadelphia, the capital of the United States, with a letter of introduction to Washington from John Jay (who had been appointed by Washington as the nation’s first chief justice). He painted the president in the winter or early spring of 1795.” While Stuart was upbeat, the subject was not, and the session could have been a disaster and ruined the artist’s plan. As Metropolitan Museum of Art writer Carrie Rebora Barratt reports, “Stuart’s trouble with Washington belies the degree of spontaneity in many of the portraits. An artist accustomed to easily engaging and enlivening his clients with conversation and jokes, Stuart was at a loss with Washington: ‘An apathy seemed to seize him and a vacuity spread over his countenance, most appalling to paint.’ Yet, despite the struggle to capture the president’s elusive character, Stuart succeeded in executing the image that was then and is now considered to be a definitive and insightful likeness.” And while Stuart was not satisfied with that first Washington portrait, he
had realized his plan and more commissions followed, including Martha Washington’s request for another portrait of her husband. It was during that sitting that Stuart allegedly conceived the never completed painting — one that he could not give to the Washingtons because it wasn’t done, but one done enough to serve as the template for his Washington portrait painting business. As anticipated, Stuart saw a boom in business, and in 1803 he was in the thick of things in Washington, DC, painting Thomas Jefferson, members of the Jefferson administration, and future president James Madison and his wife, Dolley. But at the same time his spendthrift habits were causing a domestic crisis, and he was forced to skedaddle to Bordentown, where he established a studio (address not clear) and attracted local clients with the means to pay for a Stuart portrait. One subject was Ann Penington. She was the daughter of Sarah and Isaac Penington, the latter being a lawyer and a relative of the Quakers who arrived in the Delaware Valley and who gave the town of Pennington its name. As noted in the 1926 “Gilbert Stuart: An Illustrated Descriptive List of His Works,” the artist shows young Ann holding “a miniature in her hands, and through an open window one catches a pleasing glimpse of the Delaware River. This picture is especially interesting as being one of the few known portraits by Stuart to which he affixed his name, ‘G. Stuart, Bordentown, 1805,’ being painted beneath the window.” The likeness — now at the Powell House in Philadelphia and owned by the Philadelphia Society of Preservation and Landmarks — was a poignant depiction for the family — as it is for the contemporary viewer. The young woman died from consumption a year later. But by then Stuart and his family had See STUART, Page 10

STUART continued from Page 9 saved enough to vacate Bordentown and head for the money-greener pastures of Boston, where the artist became busy painting politically and socially prominent sitters and creating replicas of his Washington portrait. It was also there Stuart realized the fruit of his grand scheme and used his considerable talent to become an American success. In addition to being in demand for high-paying commissions, he had become an inspiration to a generation of new young artists and had produced works important to a new nation. In fact, his Washington portraits were so important that First Lady Dolley Madison took a Stuart painting of Washington when she fled the White House to escape the British soldiers who successfully attacked the building during the War of 1812. Stuart also became part of American lore, with the National Gallery pointing out that “his sitters indicated their fascination for his talent and personality by recording lengthy anecdotes and descriptions of their sittings, producing an unusually rich written record about an American portraitist.” But lore works both ways and, as others report, Stuart was famous for his chronic stubbornness and outrageous behavior and for the drinking, anger, and profligate habits that contributed to his ruin — and the alienation of his longsuffering family. Yet if Stuart’s art is his last word, he shines. As the National Gallery assesses, “He introduced a new level of
sophistication to the American portrait.” All while he was making the image for the dollar while trying to make a buck — even in our region of New Jersey. *** For an opportunity to see Gilbert Stuart’s work up close, visit the Princeton University Art Museum and view his 1794 portrait of William Bayard (not to be confused with family member Samuel Bayard, the namesake for Princeton’s Bayard Lane). The museum describes the painting as follows: Descended from an old New Jersey family, merchant William Bayard was highly regarded for acumen and probity. He sat for Stuart during the artist’s stay in New York, following a long period of portrait painting in Ireland. The resulting image, at once decorative, dignified, and virtuosic, is distinguished by the tension between its exuberant palette and the sitter’s sober pose and demeanor. Stuart’s picture is further enlivened by its characteristically soft modeling and sketchy finish, as well as by its incomplete composition, especially evident in the merely suggested quill and inkwell — the latter curiously rendered twice — and the nonexistent chair upon which the “sitter” would normally rest. Whether the portrait’s unfinished state is due to circumstance or, as in other works by the artist, was by design, is unknown. Princeton University Art Museum. Princeton campus, Free.

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. To learn more about Capital Health’s advanced care for stroke patients and those with other complex disorders of the brain and spine, visit capitalneuro.org.
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 | Bordentown Current13

Thomas Edison grad named new program’s senior fellow By Julia Marnin Bordentown resident Melissa Maszczak is thrilled that working in the president’s office at Thomas Edison State University has led to her own leadership role at the state school that provides a variety of flexible degree programs to working adults. Maszczak was named the senior fellow and director of the university’s new Center for Leadership and Governance and assumed all her new responsiblities July 1. The center is partnered with the John S. Watson School of Public Service and was established by the university’s board of trustees to provide guidance and leadership development for individuals who aspire to high positions in areas such as higher education, nonprofits, and government with master classes, workshops and certificate programs. “The idea is that we want to have the master class for people who aspire to the presidency,” Maszczak says. She was appointed her new position following the retirement of Lisa Meehan, the founding director of the center. Maszczak is working on a curriculum with President Emeritus George A. Pruitt for master classes, as well as establishing a non credit course based on a book that is to be released in September called Time to Get Real by Alex J. Plinio and Melissa Smith.

who attended.” She also handled multiple administrative responsibilities such as managing the president’s calendar and helping maintain her relationship with the senior staff and cabinet. “It’s bittersweet because I was there for so long,” she says of leaving the president’s office which was an unexpected career shift. “I really enjoyed working there but I’m ready for something new and exciting. I’m excited for the challenge of building the center and being creative and working with wonderful people.” During her time as secretary to the board of trustees, she would help prepare for quarterly board meetings and manage logistics along with acting as a liaison between the president and the board and the university. Maszczak was not always a Bordentown resident. She grew up in Roebling before attending and graduating from Monmouth University in 2002, where she met her husband, Ross Maszczak, who works as a network and systems engineer. At Monmouth, she was involved with the Monmouth Review Literary Magazine. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in English with a minor in psychology. Following her graduation, she wrote for the Red Bank Review Literary Magazine and the Coaster newspaper. As she was still navigating her
future career path with considerations of becoming an English teacher, Maszczak says she worked as a waitress. Ultimately, she decided she did not want to teach and in 2007, she moved to Bordentwon with her husband. “We loved it so much that his parents came and moved to Bordentown,” she said. The same year there was an opening at the president's office at Thomas Edison State University. “I never knew what I wanted to do and when I came here and worked, I learned a lot about the presidency and higher education and it's just been amazing, I learned so much from everybody here,” she said. “It was interesting how perfectly matched my qualities were to the job; writing editing proofreading, and also event planning and managing multiple details.”
Maszczak received her master’s degree in liberal studies and industrial organizational psychology at Thomas Edison State University. Outside of her career, Maszczak is a mom of two children, Patrick (10) and Olivia (7), who attend Peter Muschal School. In her free time she enjoys working out and reading, something she has always loved. She says she is part of a Bordentown-based book club. When asked about the future, Maszczak is open minded about the possibilities. “Maybe in the future I’ll work on a Ph.D program, and maybe I’ll become president one day,” she said. “It is probably the toughest job in American higher education.” Given her unexpected career origins at the university, she believes anything is possible.
‘It’s more of a leadership program rather than a support position, and the work is really going to be interesting.’ –Melissa Maszczak

BLL baseball 12s take third straight district crown By Rich Fisher It was a five-year run like no other team ever made in the history of Bordentown Little League, and it certainly could not hurt the league’s profile when it comes to bumping up enrollment. The BLL 12-year-old All Stars went undefeated in District 12 this year to win their third straight district title, and followed that by reaching the Section 3 finals for the third consecutive year. The team’s nucleus won districts and sectionals as 10-year-olds, claimed the districts again as 11s and pulled of the three-peat this year with a gutsy effort that saw them post the biggest comeback victory in the tournament. They nearly pulled off another in sectionals when they fell behind 6-0 after two innings, but loaded the bases with two outs in the sixth before losing 6-4. “These kids were not afraid to come out and battle,” said manager Brian Guire, who was assisted by Nick Carlini and Tim Dromboski. “It was phenomenal the effort the kids put in day in and day out at practices and games. Whatever happened they didn’t give up. To get to the sectional finals three straight years, I’m not sure how many teams can say they did that.” Aside from the last three years, the group also won each of the tournaments they played in as 8- and 9-year-olds. With success comes recognition, and that is what little league programs across the nation need to battle the tidal wave of travel ball. Ryan Forster, a board member for eight years, just completed his first
year as league president and feels the 12-year-olds’ success can only help the big picture. Forster does not hide the fact that BLL’s enrollment has gone from 500 to 300 since he started, but that is still more than numerous other District 12 teams. “I understand there’s travel, I coach travel myself but I always make my son play little league,” said Forster, whose 11-year-old son Andrew played with the 12s. “You’re playing for your community, you’re representing the town you live in, which is something really cool to do. Especially when you win. It can really help. “Any team that wins, it’s ‘Oh wait a minute, this team must be really good; this league must be really good,’ and then we’re gonna get more kids to come out instead of sitting home playing X-box or something. They want to be part of this. Especially after seeing this group. We won it three or four years ago as 12s, which was great, that put us on the map. Now doing it again is even better. We’re actually doing something right here and it’s pretty cool.” It was been a group effort from a lot of people, according to Forster, who is a member of the Bordentown Police Department. He noted internal squabbling among board members is a thing of the past; BLL graduates that now play for Bordentown High and Post 26 come out to lend their support at games and also work winter clinics; and that the league has regained a strong relationship with the township. “I have to give kudos to Mayor (Steve) Benowitz and our business administrator, Mike Theokas,” Forster said. “They

have helped us every step of the way. If I ask for something, we usually get it. When parents and coaches see that, they want to step up even more.” And that is a key factor with any little league. It all starts with adult participation; but it needs to be done in a positive manner. “Some of the coaches and some of the kids do travel ball together, but when it comes time for little league they shut down the travel program and concentrate on Bordentown,” Forster said. “Maybe other leagues don’t do that as much and maybe that’s why they’re not winning as much. This shows their dedication to little league. There’s so much behind the scenes that every league has to do, and these coaches and parents are dedicated to our league. It’s great to see everyone come together.” Forster could not say enough about the coaches throughout the league and was especially impressed with how the 12-yearold staff handled their talented team. “They were doing two-hour practices every day,” Forster said. “I know a lot of leagues do that stuff, but how are you practicing these kids? The coaches got the best out of these kids all the time. They instilled sportsmanship. The kids got along, there was no inside stuff, never fights or arguments or anything. No ‘I don’t want to play here, I don’t want to play there.’ It was great to sit back and watch it unfold. “And not only did the kids buy into it, but so did the parents. In a lot of leagues, parents will be like ‘How come my kid’s not playing? I want him playing here, I
The Bordentown Little League 12-year-old All Stars do a victor y trot around the field with the District 12 championship banner after defeating Sunnybrae last month. want him playing there.’ But they were buying into what our coaches were doing. They believe there’s something special here.” There certainly was something special with the 12-year-olds, whose roster featured Luca Mannino, Luke Guire, Nick Dromboski, Nick Filipponi, Nick Carlini, Cole Clugsten, Jake Bartlett, Danny Catrupi, Anthony Dziubak, Josh Guire, Andrew Forster, Connor Collora, Chris Mirabelli and Ryan Wood. Josh Guire, Wood, Bartlett and Forster will all be back next year. Bordentown opened districts with a 12-2 win over East Windsor, then held on for a 9-8 victory over Nottingham after
amassing a 9-0 lead. That was followed by the game of the tournament for BLL, when it fell behind 7-0 to West Windsor only to charge back for an 8-7 victory. That set up a memorable battle with Sunnybrae, which needed to beat Bordentown twice in order to claim the title. With the game tied 3-3, the skies opened in the sixth inning and everyone had to return the next day. Mannino ended it in the eighth with a walk-off single. Brian Guire felt that title was the biggest one of them all for his group. “This was what these guys were talking about,” he said. “This is what they were waiting for.” Bordentown dropped its Section 3
opener but battled back with three straight wins to reach the finals once again. Their resilience throughout the tournament was not lost on the league president. “I’ve coached little league, travel and Babe Ruth, and these kids were probably the best group of kids I’ve been around, along with some of my travel kids, they’re dedicated too,” Forster said. “These kids believed in their coaches and what they were trying to do. They showed tremendous heart. You could never count them out. That would have been great if they came back and won that (sectional game), but they definitely have some good baseball coming up in their lives.”

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LEAD IN YOUR DRINKING WATER Contact us at 609-298-2121 ext. 5 to obtain a translated copy of the public education materials or to request assistance in the appropriate language. Bordentown Water Department found elevated levels of lead in drinking water in some homes/ buildings. Lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Please read this information closely to see what you can do to reduce lead in your drinking water. This notice is being distributed to you and all customers of Bordentown Water Department as a regulatory requirement. Under the Code of Federal Regulations for the Control of Lead and Copper, 40 CFR Part 141 Subpart I, Bordentown Water Department is required to routinely sample for lead and copper at a minimum number of locations based on the population served. The 90th percentile value for our water system is greater than the lead action level of 15 parts per billion (ppb). The action level is the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. This means Bordentown Water Department must ensure that water results from the locations sampled do not exceed this level in at least 90 percent of the sites sampled (90th percentile result; 50 ppb). Health Effects of Lead Lead can cause serious health problems if too much enters your body from drinking water or other sources. It can cause damage to the brain and kidneys and can interfere with the production of red blood cells that carry oxygen to all parts of your body. The greatest risk of lead exposure is to infants, young children, and pregnant women. Scientists have linked the effects of lead on the brain with lowered IQ in children. Adults with kidney problems and high blood pressure can be affected by low levels of lead more than healthy adults. Lead is stored in the bones, and it can be released later in life. During pregnancy, the child receives lead from the mother’s bones, which may affect brain development. In other words, it is the fetus that is at risk because developing fetuses receive lead from the mother’s bones. Children and fetuses absorb more lead into their bodies than adults and are more susceptible to its effects on brain development; however, most children with elevated blood lead levels do not exhibit any symptoms, but effects may appear later in life. Sources of Lead Lead is a common metal found in the environment. Drinking water is one possible source of lead exposure. The main sources of lead exposure are lead-based paint and lead-contaminated dust or soil. In addition, lead can be found in certain types of pottery, pewter, brass fixtures, cosmetics, imported spices and other food. Other sources include exposure in the workplace and exposure from certain hobbies like shooting ranges and fishing (lead can be carried on clothing or shoes). Lead is found in some toys, some playground equipment, and some children’s metal jewelry. Tip: Wash your children’s hands and toys often as they can come into contact with dirt and dust containing lead. Lead is unusual among drinking water contaminants in that it seldom occurs naturally in water supplies like rivers and lakes. Lead enters drinking water primarily as a result of the corrosion, or wearing away, of materials containing lead in the water distribution system and household plumbing. These materials include lead-based solder used to join copper pipes, brass and chrome-brass faucets, and in some cases, pipes made of or lined with lead. When water remains in contact with lead pipes or plumbing materials containing lead over time, the lead may dissolve into your drinking water. This means the first water drawn from the tap in the morning, or later in the afternoon if the water has not been used all day, may contain elevated levels of lead. • Homes and buildings in New Jersey built before 1988 are more likely to have lead pipes and/or lead solder. • Service lines, which may also contain lead, are the individual pipes that run from the water main in the street to a home or building and consist of two portions. The first portion is the section of the service line from the water main to the curb stop and the second portion is the section from the curb stop to the home. Ownership of the service line varies by water system and the service line from the water main to the curb stop is owned and maintained by the Bordentown Water Department; and the section of the service line from the curb stop to the home is owned and maintained by the property owner. Brass faucets, fittings, and valves, including those advertised as “lead-free”, may also contribute lead to drinking water. The law currently allows end-use brass fixtures, such as faucets, that contain a maximum of 0.25 percent lead to be labeled as “lead free”. However, prior to January 4, 2014, “lead free” allowed up to 8 percent lead content of the wetted surfaces of plumbing products including those labeled National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) certified. Consumers should be aware of their current fixtures and take appropriate precautions. EPA estimates that 10 to 20 percent of a person’s potential exposure to lead may come from drinking water. Infants who consume mostly formula mixed with lead-containing water may receive 40 to 60 percent of their exposure to lead from drinking water When there are elevated levels of lead in your water, drinking water is likely to be a more important source of exposure. Steps You Can Take to Reduce Exposure to Lead in Drinking Water 1. Determine if you have lead service line or interior lead plumbing or solder. Property owners are encouraged to check their portion of the service lines for lead and we are asking you to contact us at 609-298-2121 ext. 5 or e-mail our licensed operator John Walls at jwalls@cityofbordentown.com if a lead service line is identified so we can update our records. If your home/building was constructed prior to 1988, it is also important to determine if interior lead solder or lead pipes are present. You can check yourself, hire a licensed plumber, or check with your landlord. 2. Replace plumbing fixtures and service lines containing lead. If there is a lead service line, replace it in full, from main to home. Contact 609-298-2121 ext. 5 or John Walls at jwalls@cityofbordentown.com to learn more about replacing the lead service line on your property. Replace brass faucets, fittings, and valves that do not meet the current definition of “lead free.” The current definition went into effect January 4, 2014; therefore, any “lead free” plumbing materials purchased and/or installed prior to that date should be discarded or replaced. Visit the NSF website at www.nsf.org to learn more about lead-containing plumbing fixtures.

3. Run the cold water to flush out lead. Let the water run from the tap before using it for drinking or cooking any time the water in the faucet has gone unused for more than six hours. The longer the water resides in plumbing the more lead it contains. Flushing the tap means running the cold water faucet for about 15 to 30 seconds. Although toilet flushing or showering flushes water through a portion of the plumbing system, you still need to flush the water in each faucet before using it for drinking or cooking. Flushing tap water is a simple and inexpensive measure you can take to protect your health. It usually uses less than one gallon of water. For those with lead service lines or until you determine if you are served by one, let the water run from the tap longer based on the length of the lead service line and the plumbing configuration in your home. In other words, the larger the home or building and the greater the distance to the water main (in the street), the more water it will take to flush properly. 4. Use cold water for cooking and preparing baby formula. Because lead from lead-containing plumbing materials and pipes can dissolve into hot water more easily than cold water, never drink, cook, or prepare beverages including baby formula using hot water from the tap. If you have not had your water sampled or if you know or suspect you have a lead service line it is recommended that bottled or filtered water be used for drinking and preparing baby formula. If you need hot water, draw water from the cold tap and then heat it. 5. Do not boil water to remove lead. Boiling water will not reduce lead. 6. Use alternative sources or treatment of water. If there is confirmed or suspected lead-containing materials, such as lead service lines and/or interior lead plumbing or lead solder, in your home or building, you may consider purchasing bottled water or a water filter. Be sure the filter is approved to reduce lead or contact NSF International at 1-800-NSF-8010 or www.nsf.org for information on performance standards for water filters. Be sure to maintain and replace a filter device in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Water softeners and reverse osmosis units will remove lead from water but can also make the water more corrosive to lead solder and plumbing by removing certain minerals; therefore, the installation of these treatment units at the point of entry into homes with lead plumbing should only be done under supervision of a qualified water treatment professional. 7. Remove and clean aerators/screens on plumbing fixtures. Over time, particles and sediment can collect in the aerator screen. Regularly remove and clean aerators screens located at the tip of faucets and remove any particles. 8. Test your water for lead. Call us at 609-298-2121 ext. 5 to find out how to get your water tested for lead. Testing is essential because you cannot see, taste, or smell lead in drinking water. The Bordentown Water Department offers free water testing to City and Township water customers. If you would like to have your water tested, please call the Bordentown Water Department at 609-298-2121 ext. 5 to schedule an appointment. The testing is simple to do and all materials are included with instructions. We deliver the testing bottle with instructions and return to collect the water sample; allow approximately two to three weeks for results. If you wish to have the testing done on your own, you are welcome to use a certified lab from the list that can be found on the NJ DEP website at https://www13.state.nj.us/DataMiner 9. Get your child tested. Contact your local health department or healthcare provider to find out how you can get your child tested for lead if you are concerned about lead exposure. Your family doctor or pediatrician can perform a blood test for lead and provide you with information about the health effects of lead. Wash your children’s hands and toys often as they can come into contact with dirt and dust containing lead. New Jersey law requires that children be screened at both 1 and 2 years of age. Children 3 to 5 years of age should also be screened if they have not been screened before. What Happened? What Is Being Done? The Bordentown Water Department is working closely with its Municipal Engineer, Remington Vernick Engineers, in reviewing the water treatment processes, the chemicals used in the treatment of the water, levels of chemicals found in the system throughout the distribution and, of course, whenever possible, the internal plumbing in the homes of those experiencing lead exceedances above the 15ppb. With each monitoring period, the number of homes in the lead and copper sampling plan with an exceedance has decreased but the Water Department will continue to collect water samples, test internal plumbing whenever possible, excavate water services to check for lead service lines, hold public hearings and provide educational materials to our water customers to provide you as much information about your drinking water as possible. To date, the Bordentown Water Department has not found any lead service lines, not found lead in the water source, tested fire hydrants near homes that have experienced lead exceedances and continues to offer free lead testing to home owners of the City and Township served by the Bordentown Water Department. If you suspect that you may have a lead service line from the curb to your home, it is advised that you contact a plumber who can come out to check this for you. Bordentown Water Department is continuing both monitoring efforts and public education about lead in drinking water.
