State says Plunkett ‘grossly failed’
Discovery by trio of Mercer K9 officers leads to largest cocaine seizure in U.S. history
Health officer’s license at stake after DOH investigation
By Michele alPerin Even if 17.5 tons of cocaine represents only a fraction of the illegal drugs flowing through the United States, the 15,582 bricks nosed out by eight K-9 dogs in Philadelphia on June 17 was “the largest cocaine seizure American history,” Robbinsville Police Sgt. Scott Kivet said. Three out of the eight canine handlers and their K-9 dogs who searched out the drugs were from Mercer County— Kivet and Quori, Ewing Police Officer Brittney Fornarotto and Jax, and Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office Detective Sgt. Joe Angarone and Bela. The dogs scoured a large Liberianflagged container ship and pinpointed cocaine with a street value of about $1.1 billion hidden in just seven of thousands of containers on the ship. Other agencies involved in the big bust were Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the U.S. Coast Guard, all under the Department of Homeland Security, as well as state and local law enforcement partners. The three officers got a call to come directly to the port where, Angarone said, the “three football field-long” ship MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company) Gayane was docked. They were told the containers would be both on and off the See DOGS, Page 12

Hurricane season
Three Hamilton teams qualify for softball national tournaments By rich Fisher
Two years ago, the Hamilton Girls’ Softball Association decided to have their teams join the United States Specialty Sports Association softball travel program in order to get high caliber competition and to keep its players from straying elsewhere. In doing so, they play teams who draw from a large talent pool that encompasses numerous towns. And then there are the Ham-
ilton 10U Hurricanes, who are as homegrown as it gets. They are one of three Hamilton teams who have made the USSSA National Tournament, and have done so with virtually all township products. Only one lives in Bordentown, and she is a Mercerville School graduate who resided in Hamilton up until a year ago. Before the Nationals in Salisbury, Maryland, on July 17, the Hurricanes had won eight of the 10 tournaments they played since the fall. They finished second in the remaining two. “All the tournaments we played in were competitive except one,” manager Mike Walsh said. “Where we used to play against pretty much nearby
area teams, we are now playing with the top travel teams in the state—the New Jersey Mystics, South Jersey Mystics, Renegades, New Jersey Flights and New Jersey Flames. At least one or two of them were in every tournament we played in.” In Maryland, the Hurricanes finished pool play undefeated, and ended the tournament with a 5-2-1 record. They outscored their opponents, 60-12. The national tournaments are set up like regionals, as there are four held at different sites, but they feature national competition. Hamilton was in the Eastern Nationals, but that includes teams from as far as Utah. To qualify, a squad See HURRICANES, Page 14
The New Jersey Department of Health notified embattled Hamilton Township health officer Jeff Plunkett last month of its intent to revoke his license, citing a failure to ensure safe and sanitary conditions at restaurants and the animal shelter in the township. DOH local public health director Shereen Semple laid out the case against Plunkett across five pages, listing numerous complaints in a July 10, 2019 letter. DOH says Plunkett failed to inspect restaurants annually, and misled the public about the frequency of those inspections. It also alleges that Plunkett never inspected the township animal shelter before issuing its annual license, a charge that has been echoed in several other governmental investigations released in recent months. “The above investigative findings evidence that you grossly failed to discharge your duties as health officer,” Semple wrote, later concluding, “Because the violations are serious and place animals and public health, safety and welfare at risk, the Department intends to revoke your health officer license.” See HEALTH, Page 16

Police academy graduates 42 cadets Forty-two cadets who made up the 21st basic class of police officers took part in July 18’s Mercer County Police Academy commencement held in the gymnasium at Mercer County Community College. An audience of several hundred family members, friends, Mercer County dignitaries and law enforcement officials from around State of New Jersey saw the cadets receive graduation certificates to officially make them police officers. The graduates endured 21 weeks of training at the academy in all aspects of law enforcement and will now serve in police agencies within Mercer County and elsewhere. Alternate route trainees attend the academy at their own expense and now can pursue employment as a certified police officer. The academy, which was created in October 2006, is located on the grounds of MCCC. Addressing the class were Police Academy Director Martin Masseroni, Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes, Mercer County Sheriff Jack Kemler, Mercer County Prosecutor Angelo Onofri, Ewing Police Chief John Stemler III, vice president of the Mercer County Chiefs of Police Association; Dr. Jianping Wang, MCCC president; and Brandon Rios, who will join the Princeton Police Department and was chosen by his fellow graduates as class speaker.

AROUND TOWN continued from Page 7 During training, the class studied in disciplines such as use of force, firearms, vehicle pursuit, hostage negotiation, advanced crime scene processing and domestic violence prevention, among others. Several cadets received awards at the graduation ceremony for their excellence in training. Brandon Rios was chosen by his classmates to receive the Certificate of Merit awarded by the N.J. Police Training Commission to the best all-around graduate. John McDonough, Bridgewater Township Police Department, received the academic award; Hamilton resident Br yan Butchon earned the firearms qualification award with a perfect score; Christopher Cimilluca, Middlesex County Sheriff’s Office, received the physical training award; and Charles Morreale, Lawrence Township Police Department, received the emergency vehicle operations award. The Mercer Police Academy consists of two classrooms specially designed for the needs of law enforcement training, and recruits use MCCC grounds, its library and its gymnasium for training purposes. The campus includes a padded training room that is used for “defensive tactics” classes. A shooting range in Hopewell Township operated by the prosecutor’s office is part of the academy as well. The following Hamilton residents graduated from the academy last month: Bryan Butchon (alternate route), Colleen Murphy (alternate route), Paul Piromalli (Hamilton Township Police Division), Daniel Greiss (Mercer County Sheriff’s Office), Joseph Lucherini (Mercer County Sheriff’s Office), Richard McLaughlin (Mercer County Sheriff’s Office), Erin Cipolloni (Princeton Police Department), Terr y King (Princeton Police Department), Brandon Rios (Princeton Police Department), and Ronald Astbur y (Trenton Police Department).

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. County executive Brian M. 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. 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. Full restrooms, water service, playground and trash disposal station can be found at the East Picnic Area, a short walk from the campground. Leantos were constructed from repurposed ash wood from the Park Commission’s Maintenance Department and provide an elevated platform for campers. An ADA-compliant wheelchair ramp is available at one of the locations. Rentals will run through Nov. 15. For more information regarding the Mercer County campground and rentals, go online to mercercountyparks. org/facilities/campgrounds.

DOGS continued from Page 1 ship, because “the ship is so big there were areas we can’t get to.” For the dogs, it was just another day of work. “It’s just like searching a house or a car—you give the dog the command to search and they search,” Angarone said. Dogs are used to save on manpower and resources. When it comes to a huge container ship, Kivet says, “it’s easier to have a dog sniff a container than go through a ton of random fruit…or whatever is being imported.” Kivet estimates that a ship may contain between 15 and 20 thousand containers, so “the dog’s job is to localize the odor as close to the source as possible.” Kivet explains the acute sense of smell that enables the dog to locate drugs: “Their noses are 100 times stronger than mine. We might smell apple pie, and they smell cinnamon, sugar, and apples.” One of Quori’s relatives, he adds, sniffs out ovarian cancer for the University of Pennsylvania. But even though pure cocaine has a distinctive smell, drug distributors don’t make it easy for the dogs: they often pack the drugs near distractors like charcoal and coffee grinds. “But,” Kivet says, “it doesn’t distract them if you have a well-trained dog.” The environment on a ship can be particularly challenging for a dog, who has to climb long metal steps to board and then work in a loud and hot environment. Fornarotto says that her dog Jax did particularly well in this area. “I was proud and excited that he had no environmental issues because he had

already done training on a boat. My dog had no fears and did not clam up because of a different environment.” Also, “dogs get tired out,” Angarone says, so they generally are on for four days then off for four, working a maximum of 12 consecutive hours, but based on the handler’s estimation of how the dog can tolerate. Finding drugs is not a given, and when they do hit the jackpot, “sometimes it’s luck; sometimes it’s intel; and sometimes we routinely do checks with a dog,” Kivet says. In Philadelphia, he continues, “All our dogs did a really good job. We do a lot of drug seizures, but to find that amount—we are part of history now.” Angarone’s dog, Bela, was trained on a towel, soaked in a garbage can filled with marijuana (the most odiferous of narcotics), which is the “toy” that she works for during training. In the beginning he teases the dog with the towel, then throws it. When the dog brings it back, they play a little tug of war. Then they make it a little harder, tossing the towel someplace the dog can’t see and has to use its nose to find. “They associate the smell with their toy, and it is a game to find their toy,” Angarone says. Angarone says that with Bela, trained to find the scent of narcotics, he has “done searches in occupied houses, abandoned buildings, buses, tractor trailers, airplanes, open areas, and cars.” Angarone, who is part of the Mercer County Narcotics Task Force, has been working with K-9’s since 2005.

Your back. Now without pain.
Solutions for back and neck pain don’t always start with surgery. But at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton, solutions start with an objective diagnosis by qualified experts. Our fellowship-trained spinal surgeons understand the complexities of the spine, assuring you a thorough understanding of your condition Robbinsville Sgt. Scott Kivet, Quori, Ewing Officer Brittney Fornarotto, Jax, Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office Sgt. Joe Angarone and Bela scoured a large Liberian-flagged container ship in June and pinpointed cocaine with a street value of about $1.1 billion.
and the treatment options available. Whether that means an individualized physical therapy plan or a minimally invasive spinal procedure, you can be certain of two things: a solution that’s right for you and one that’s been recommended by the region’s only hospital nationally
on a daily or weekly basis, with over 150 search warrants executed each year. They search houses, cars, trucks, and tractor-trailers as part of everyday investigations and with other agencies. “The drugs we see most of are heroin, cocaine, and marijuana,” Angarone says. When Bela finds a drug, he says, she indicates it by scratching, biting, or barking. Sometimes the K-9 dogs’ lives may be at risk. “If she could get into the drug, she could die—especially with heroin,” Angarone says. So he tries to make sure she doesn’t get into the drug packaging. “It’s not a battle; you just have to be attentive.” Just in case, he carries injectable Narcan for the dog, which is donated by TOPAC, The Overdose Prevention Agency Corporation, in Hamilton. Every officer in Mercer County also carries a human version, Naloxone to put in the nose of an overdose victim. Angarone started as a detective with the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office in September 1998. When his former chief, Al Paglione, the first canine handler at his office, was promoted, Angarone got the job (in addition to his detective duties). On the recommendation of a trainer, he heard about Bela, then a three-monthold female Belgian Malinois at a breeder in Ontario, Canada, who was a good dog
with high drive. After getting approval from the prosecutor, he purchased Bela, certified himself as a trainer through the state police, and started working with her immediately—even though training usually takes somewhere between 11 and 16 months. “By 11 months she was on the road working,” Angarone says. Angarone went to elementary school in Trenton, then moved to Hamilton for middle school and graduated from Steinert High School. He studied criminal justice at Southern Vermont College in Bennington, got a master’s from Fairleigh-Dickinson University, and then went to the Police Academy in Sea Girt. Angarone was assigned to a narcotics unit for 11 years, four of those for the Drug Enforcement Administration, which still gives him calls. He also hears from local police departments for traffic stops if they do not have canines. Angarone had one pet dog growing up, and also a trained black lab before Bela. When the lab died, he trained his pet yellow lab but, he says, “he wasn’t up to my standards; his drive wasn’t high enough.” Angarone’s parents were in the restaurant business for 40 years, first in Trenton and then the QP Eatery in Hamilton, but Angarone, who had an uncle in law enforcement, says, “I always wanted to be a policeman.”

HURRICANES continued from Page 1 must finish first or second in a USSSA tournament. The Hurricanes most impressive feat was winning the USSSA New Jersey State title. “Winning that championship meant that we all had worked together and played well as a team against tough competitors,” first baseman/pitcher Kennedy Daferede said. “It felt very exciting winning the state championship, but more so defeating great teams.” Pitcher Ellie Miller felt that her team was ready. “It was a huge accomplishment, and coach Mike had been preparing us all year long for it,” Miller said. “It made us proud to be able to win against the best teams in New Jersey. We knew we made our parents and coaches proud because they were jumping up and down after our championship game.” And the adults are as much a part of the program as the kids. Walsh is assisted by Chris Miller and Chris Riddell and has had a huge backing from the parents. “This team has been together since they were six and seven in T-ball,” Walsh
said. “We have a great group of girls and great group of families and sometimes that’s hard to find these days. Every parent on the team cares about the other kids as much of their own, which kind of makes it work.” Miller gives Walsh the credit for that, but adds that the chemistry among the girls is also huge. “We all have a talent that we bring to the team but it all starts with the culture Coach Mike sets for us,” she said. “But yes, my teammates are my best friends. I look forward to practices knowing that I’ll get to be with them. The best thing is we all want each other to do well and when someone has a rough day we try to pick each other up. I also like that we all make each other laugh.” On the field, however, it’s strictly business. “By moving to USSSA, we face greater competition,” Daferede said. “Moving up to this higher level of play has helped our team grow as softball players. We have learned a lot from our competitors and we’ve learned and grown from the mistakes that we make. It is important for us to represent the community by doing well and showing good sportsmanship.” Seven of the players were part of last

year’s outfit that played USSSA competition for the first time, along with five girls a year older. Those five were replaced by girls coached on the Red team last year by Tony Lacy (the USSSA team is Blue). Despite several young players in tough competition for the first time, Hamilton went 27-13 and qualified for nationals in 2018. “By playing tougher competition last year, this year our team was more experienced and better prepared,” Daferede said. “Last year we got to feel how real softball was played. We got to experience how to play with greater competition. This year; our team knows what to expect for nationals and has a better understanding of the game.” Miller felt the biggest takeaways Hamilton got from last year were confidence, the knowledge it could compete with elite teams, and displaying sportsmanship. “We learned we just need to play our game,” she said. “As Coach Mike always tells us ‘It’s not who you play, it’s
how you play’. And also to ‘Stay even,’ which has helped us to better approach games.” Miller is a huge key. After not pitching much last year, she has been outstanding with her arm and bat. “She has a ton of speed as our leadoff hitter and when she’s not pitching she plays shortstop,” Walsh said “She worked very hard at pitching, goes to lessons. In between lessons, she’s practicing. She worked on refining her fastball and changes her speeds, which you don’t see at this age. Most pitchers are just trying to throw strikes.” Bianca Walsh also pitches and plays short, as well as first. According to her dad, “she’s got a good fastball that she spots in and out, up and down. We try to make sure all of our pitchers can do that. She throws hard, she spots it, she changes speeds. And she’s a pretty good hitter.” Catching is Francesca Castellano, who “has probably made most improvement of anyone on the team. She didn’t get as much time as last year but is

excellent at receiving pitches and frames pitches very well for a 10 year old. People were running on us early in the year and now she is throwing people out at second and third base. She made her weakness her strength, and she’s an excellent hitter.” Daferede, “one of the best athletes on the team,” is at first, Kelsey Loughlin plays second and Ryane Riddell is on third. Daferede burns up the base paths and is also the No. 3 pitcher and provides Miller and Walsh some necessary rest. Loughlin has taken “a huge jump” in her level of competition after playing with the Red team last year and has become “very stable at second.” Riddell is also very athletic, as she also plays basketball and soccer. She has a big bat “and there’s not much she can’t do in the field.” The outfielders are Amber Buck, McKenna Fisher, Ava Umansky, Charlie Taylor (the team’s lone 9-year-old) and Kailyn Prekop. Buck plays center field and third “and has made huge contributions at both.” Fisher “has drastically increased the level of her contributions to the team’s success” has become a solid hitter and consistent outfielder. Umansky, Taylor and Prekop all made the jump from the Red team and have made the adjustment to a higher level of play. Unfortunately, Prekop broke her leg and now must provide her support from the dugout. It is a cast that encompasses all three township school districts, which is good news for Hamilton West, Nottingham and Steinert. It’s also a group that wins

together and has fun together. “A big part of softball is working as a team,” Daferede said. “It is very hard to work together if you are not close or do not know a lot about your teammates. The girls on our team are very close and are constantly talking and joking with each other.” But they are no joke when it comes to winning. *** Also making the nationals were the HGSA 12U and 16U teams. The 12Us played with a slew of underage players and were 39-27-2 entering nationals They are managed by George Simonka and the roster includes Katie Simonka, Kaila Castiglione, Tuleen Ali, Natalie Pogorzelski, Angelina Minerva, Gia Dimeglio, Marcella Samayoa, Kara Weaver, Kyleigh Mihalik, Melody Webb, Erin Erdie and Kayla Foy. The 16Us went to nationals with a 41-11 record. Coached by Bob Bocock, the team includes several players familiar to local high school fans. The roster features Alyssa Bistany, Becca Bocock, Erin Dewispelaere, Kameko Miraglia, Julia Hannawacker, Avery Kontura, Sage Moore, Liz Mullen, Giana Rappoccio, Lillian Torres, Michaela Weber and Holly Muni. Manager Diana Piscotta guided the 8U team to a 19-7 record with a roster of Gabriella Piscotta, Elia Castellano, Hailey King, Isabella Mayer, Addison Mccabe, Zoe Vanselous, Emily Onorati, Lea Prosdocimo, Ava Prosdocimo, Addyson Sudnick, Sophia Renalt, Lauren Miller and Mikayla Umansky.

Jeff Plunkett has ser ved as Hamilton’s health officer since 1995. The state notified Plunkett in June of its intention to strip him of his license. HEALTH continued from Page 1 Plunkett has until Aug. 9 to appeal the decision. Without an appeal, Plunkett will lose his license, and would no longer be able to do his job as township health officer. DOH opened an investigation into Plunkett after receiving a complaint in September 2018 about his handling of the township animal shelter. Semple says Plunkett delayed the investigation for weeks, dodging requests to be interviewed by DOH staff from Oct. 17 until Nov. 5, 2018. Upon responding to DOH, Plunkett said he could not provide documentation requested by the state because it did not exist. Later, DOH Office of Local Public Health investigators discovered that Plunkett admitted the shelter had never been inspected by the township health division. During the course of the state investigation, DOH received another complaint regarding Plunkett—this one alleging Plunkett failed to annually inspect restaurants in the township before issuing licenses. DOH found this allegation to be true using the township’s restaurant safety database, available for public use on the township website. Searches showed most restaurant inspections were not current, with many last conducted in 2017. OLPH investigators later visited three township restaurants, and witnessed current 2019 licenses signed by Plunkett displayed on the premises. However, records showed two of the restaurants hadn’t had a sanitary inspection report filed by the township in two years, with the other last inspected in 2018. Hamilton Township Mayor Kelly Yaede, in a statement, said DOH’s argument is misleading, and that state and township codes do not explicitly require a restaurant be inspected annually. Instead, she said, it is the township’s understanding that the health department may inspect a restaurant as often
as it deems necessary. DOH code, however, includes an appendix of best practices, including one listed under “food surveillance” that recommends the local board of health inspect retail food establishments at least once a year. Hamilton Township business administrator Dave Kenny said, in an interview with the Hamilton Post, this is just a guideline and not something required of the township. Plunkett admitted to state investigators that he did not ensure annual inspections of all retail food establishments prior to renewing their licenses each year. Plunkett told DOH the township did not have enough staff to keep up with annual inspections, and hadn’t for 40 years. The state took Plunkett to task for this, specifically because Plunkett said in December 2014 that the township inspects every restaurant in Hamilton twice a year. Plunkett made this statement during a period of heightened public concern about the sanitary conditions of the township restaurants, shortly after a Hepatitis-A outbreak originated from an infected food handler at Rosa’s Restaurant in Hamilton. The OLPH also alleges that Plunkett misled the public in 2014 about the township’s efforts at Rosa’s, with the state saying the township health division only inspected the restaurant after the Hepatitis-A outbreak. Yaede disputed this, claiming Hamilton Township inspected Rosa’s four times that year before that incident, including twice in October 2014. Yaede also said, in an interview with the Hamilton Post, that Plunkett told the township board of health as recently as February of this year that every attempt is made to inspect “major facilities” within the township every year. She did not specify what qualifies a business as major. A review of township records by the Hamilton Post found that, of 100 restaurants and ban-

quet facilities selected at random from the township food safety database, 42 percent were last inspected in 2017. More than one-third—35 percent— have been inspected in 2019. Yaede said Plunkett had been open about the difficulties he faced with the current staffing levels to inspect ever y facility ever y year. She suggested blame rests partially on the health code classifying any business selling food items as a retail food establishment that must be inspected. This would include a large number of businesses in the township, including ones like Home Depot or Lowe’s that sell candy in check-out areas. “These are some of the most egregious, false statements being made by Governor Murphy’s State Department of Health,” Yaede said in her statement. “These false statements will only undermine public confidence, are detrimental to all public employees, and will undoubtedly impact our local Hamilton business community.” Yet, the DOH investigation is only the latest inquiry involving Plunkett and his work as township health officer. Mercer County Prosecutor Angelo J. Onofri announced May 3 that Plunkett, 62, and Todd Bencivengo, 56, each had been charged with two counts of thirddegree animal cruelty and one count of second-degree official misconduct. Bencivengo retired in March as the supervisor of the Hamilton Township Animal Shelter. The prosecutor’s Humane Law Enforcement Unit began an investiga-
tion in August 2018 after two complaints were referred to the office by the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice. The investigation revealed that approximately 236 cats and 93 dogs were euthanized between 2016 and 2018 before the waiting period required by state law. State law says shelters must hold animals or offer them for adoption for at least seven days. Then, on May 7, an investigative subcommittee led by Republican councilwoman Ileana Schirmer and Democratic councilman Rick Tighe released a 43-page investigative report on the shelter that depicted a facility run without rules or oversight.

Volunteers help save 52 dogs from hoarder house By Patricia Taylor It is a truth universally acknowledged that dog lovers do not recognize political boundaries. While that may be the case, city departments must and do. Thus, when a PSEG worker went on a service call in Trenton’s 800 block of East State Street on June 24 and found one of the homes emitting a raucous onslaught of barking as well as an overpowering stench, he called the Trenton Police Department. That is the beginning of the incredible rescue of 52 dogs barely surviving in disgusting hoarding conditions. There were huge smooth haired mastiffs; tiny, shaggy haired Yorkshire terrier puppies; mixed breeds of all kinds. Some were manacled, some were starving. All were suffering. The rescue—removing more than four dozen dogs from East State Street and then providing not only medical care but also new homes—was accomplished in less than a week. It was a rescue that involved numerous people—private citizens and public workers—from Trenton, Ewing, Lawrence, Hamilton, and across state borders into Pennsylvania. But to start at the beginning. Upon receiving notice of the problematic animal cruelty on East State Street, the police called the Trenton Animal Shelter (officially the Trenton Humane Law Enforcement and Animal Services Unit, or THLEAS). Shelter manager Jose
Munoz was on vacation, so the message was passed to animal control officer Jose Millan, who immediately drove to East State Street. When he arrived, it was obvious that he was confronting a horrific situation. But because there was no one at home—or at least no one answering the repeated knocking and doorbell ringing—his maximum recourse was to ensure that a 24-hour notice was affixed to the property. “And then we had to prepare ourselves,” recalls Millan, who had recently injured his Achilles tendon and was on crutches. After the 24-hour period had elapsed, representatives from the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Police accompanied Millan to the home. THLEAS is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Health and Human Services. This time, James Marshall, who has since been charged with animal cruelty, was on the front lawn with several dogs, refusing anyone admittance into his house. But because of the legal precautions taken and the presence of officers, he could not stop them from entering. And shortly after they went in, the urgent phone calls went out. It was obvious that there were a lot of dogs in the home, but the sheer amount was overwhelming. Pleas for help went to the Ewing Animal Shelter, the Center for Animal Referral and Emergency Ser-
vices (CARES) in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, the remaining staff at the Trenton Animal Shelter and to Danielle Gletow of Ewing, among others. *** Gletow is a busy woman, a founder of two nonprofits: the nationally recognized One Simple Wish foundation (onesimplewish.org), and the local Trenton Animals Rock (TAR), a foundation dedicated to helping injured, abused, and abandoned animals in Trenton. It was her role in the latter that prompted Millan’s call. “In some ways,” Gletow remembers, “it was fortunate that one of my daughters was sick that day. That meant I was home. Otherwise, I would not have been able to respond so promptly to that call.” And respond she did, first calling Donna Gletow, her “awesome” sister-inlaw and fellow Ewing resident, to come watch her daughter, then alerting TAR board members as well as a wide network of animal lovers in Mercer County and beyond. While Gletow was calling in help, the staff at the Trenton Animal Shelter was ordered to East State Street. Members of the Ewing shelter also went to help transport dogs. It wasn’t long before it was obvious that the seriously underfunded Trenton shelter’s 20-dog capacity was about to be overwhelmed. James Mongru, the shelter’s maintenance manager, says going into the house get the dogs “was terrible. There were feces everywhere.” Many of the

Bolt cutters were required to remove shackles on some of the dogs. Gletow arrived at the shelter around noon. The doors were locked; the entire staff of the shelter was on East State Street, helping to put dogs into trucks. With the arrival of the first truck, the doors were unlocked and Gletow swung into action. They moved dogs that were already in the shelter to the backmost kennels, to allow space for the new arrivals, Gletow says. As dogs were brought in, she did visual assessments and wrote down their breed, age and condition. Gletow noted those that were most critical, and notified veterinarian staff at CARES that they were soon to have many patients. Ewing resident Matt Gellar, whose classes at TCNJ had finished, and Hamilton resident Jen Share, a volunteer at the shelter, assumed responsibility for driving the neediest dogs to CARES. “I left work on my lunch hour, figuring I’d transport pups to CARES and return to the office in about an hour,” Share says. “I wound up being involved until 9 p.m. that night. Never got back to the office.” Share has vivid memories of walking into the shelter and seeing crates of Yorkies in the hallway, then seeing the kennels filled with rottweilers, mastiffs and Neapolitan mastiffs, sometimes three or four to a kennel. “The smell… the noise!” she says. She remembers carrying the first two sticky, filthy, bony pups into the hospital and feeling like the check-in was taking an eternity. “I remember watching the poor things perk up a bit and begin to explore the exam room—making me hopeful that they had enough strength to get through their ordeal,” she says. Later, heading back to the shelter to transport more dogs, Share recalls seeing what looked like a convoy of cars going into the Trenton shelter to drop off crates in response to an alert that had
been put out on social media. “I wanted to hug every one of those kind people who made the trip to help,” she says. The Animal Alliance in Lambertville had offered its services, so Geller drove the youngest and smallest Yorkshire puppies, many in need of immediate care, to that organization. And still trucks were going back and forth from East State Street, and additional dogs were arriving at the shelter after each round trip. Mongru counted nine round trips all told. More volunteers arrived around 5:30 p.m., once they had left their jobs. TAR board members Judy Flowers, from Yardley, Pennsylvania; Nadia Adam, from Ewing; and Anne Ullestad from Lawrence were among those helping out. Joe Antonello, a recently retired animal cruelty investigator, also went in to help. Ullestad, a lighting designer, runs TAR’s home-based foster initiative. She got to work finding foster homes for pups that were in good enough shape, to make room at the shelter. At the same time, Flowers made calls to area rescue organizations including Pick Your Paw Animal Rescue of Red Bank and Zoe’s House of Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania. Share says Heathre Goldberg of Pick Your Paws rescue, along with her son, a veterinarian technician, had been at the shelter since at least noon, assessing dogs, caring for them and bathing them. At one point, Flowers and Share volunteered to get food for everyone. “They picked up pizzas,” Gletow says, “but we were all so busy we didn’t have time to eat until 9:30—right before we left.” Volunteers from Trenton Animals Rock and other organizations didn’t leave until every dog that needed medical care was at a hospital and every dog had an indoor kennel for the night, Gletow says. Still, more work needed to be done. Gletow was among the volunteers arriving early the next day to continue the process of assessing the temperament and condition of the remaining dogs. The shelter, she notes, is super small, quite old, and desperately in need of additional city funding to care for the hundreds of animals that pass through its doors. “The guys who run it are among my favorite people because they love these animals and work so hard for them with so little resources,” she says. That day, it was decided that several more dogs needed medical attention. They were transported to CARES as well. The TAR foundation, Gletow reports, raises funds to pay for the medical needs of dogs transported out of the shelter as well as to provide support for the shelter’s operations. It took six days to move all the East State Street dogs into foster homes or rescue groups, Gletow says. They also moved other dogs that were waiting in the shelter before the hoarding case. Looking back at the late June rescue, Gletow remarks that it was an incredible effort and something that inspires her to continue volunteering with TAR. “When people set aside their opinions and just get to work, so much good can be done,” she says. Joe Emanski contributed to the reporting of this story.

NEWS TO
KNOW
A Patriotic Day
Every year, on the third Saturday in May, the United States observes Armed Forces Day. This year it fell on May 18, and I had the pleasure of attending an event held by the Hamilton Township Patriotic Committee at Veteran’s Park, at its East Entrance. I have attended the Committee’s events here in the past and have always enjoyed the ceremonies. Armed Forces Day began in 1949. It replaced separate days dedicated to the Army, Navy and Air Force and celebrated the unification of the country’s armed forces under the Department of Defense. This year’s ceremony was extremely moving. Highlights included outstanding musical presentations of “God Bless America,” our National Anthem “The Star-Spangled Banner” and the “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” all performed by the Hamilton High School West Select Choir, under the direction of James Fillmore. There was not a dull moment in the ceremony, with recognition of this significant day by our local Hamilton Veteran’s Organization, color guards, presentation of service flags and an outstanding performance by the Ancient Order of Hibernians Pipe Band. A special ribboncutting was held for new bricks added to the patriotic walkway that honors special loved ones or families.
Tributes pour in after Risoldi’s Market Cafe ends 7-decade run By Julia Marnin Risoldi’s Market Cafe in Hamilton closed its doors June 29 after over 70 years of business. Owner Sam Risoldi, Jr., said the decision to shutter the family-owned business comes due to increased competition in the area over the last five years, which has lead to his market not doing enough business. The market was long located at 3100 Quakerbridge Road in Clover Plaza. “It’s been a long run,” he says. “We want to thank my family and those who patronized our store and our father’s store since 1948, as well as current and past employees.” Risoldi Jr.’s father Sam Risoldi, the son of an Italian immigrant from Rome, was a butcher. The senior Risoldi decided to open his own store, which he expanded into a market, calling it “Liberty Thrift Way.” As Risoldi’s specialty meats such as his sausages and roasts gained popularity, he decided to start a catering business as well. His sons, Sam Risoldi Jr. and Tommy Risoldi, carried on their father’s legacy. They opened Risoldi’s Market Cafe in Hamilton which sold their father’s specialties along with more homemade Italian food varieties that came from their families’ kitchens. Also, they continued the catering aspect of their family business.
Risoldi Jr. says the closing of the business makes it time for him to retire, as there are no plans of another Risoldi’s reopening in the future. After the Hamilton Post broke news of Risoldi’s closing on June 25, tributes to the market poured in on social media and on the Post’s website, communitynews.org. “When I moved to Hamilton 10 years ago, Risoldi’s was the only place I shopped,” Eileen Strawderman wrote. “I will always remember the feeling of a family-owned market, and the quality of the deli, bakery, meat and seafood. The help was friendly and helpful.” “I feel so bad about this,” Cindy Wiltsey wrote. “Where are we going to buy our homemade sausage with provolone and broccoli rabe from? No one has beautiful sirloin steak like Thriftway. I will truly miss this store. Thank you for all of your years that you have given. It is truly appreciated. God bless you.” “Thank you for all the decades of service,” Christine Born wrote. “You have catered every family event for me. It’s been a long wonderful run. Wishing you all the best, health and happiness. Enjoy your well-deserved retirement.” “I have shopped at Risoldi’s since they were on Liberty Street,” Frances Foy wrote. “Sam, your store and your delicious catered food will be truly missed. But congratulations on your retirement. You deserve it.”
If it’s important to you and your child, it’s important to us.
I had the honor of being seated with former Mercer County Sheriff Gilbert Lugossy; former Hamilton Chief of Police James Stevens; Patriotic Committee Trustee Ronnie Steward, a Vietnam Veteran and recipient of the Purple Heart, who served in the Army in the late 1960s, and Patriotic Committee member Allen Schectel. The Hamilton Township Patriotic Committee was established in 1996 to create and foster an awareness of our American heritage by honoring and perpetuating the memory of the patriots who distinguished themselves by their service and sacrifices while serving as members of the armed forces of the United States. If you have not attended a Patriotic Committee event, you should mark your calendars to do so. Patriot Day is Wednesday, September 11 and will be marked by ceremonies that recognize the men and women who lost their lives on that day in 2001.

Bordentown’s new brewery traces roots to Hamilton By Joe Emanski jemanski@communitynews.org 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 Hamilton Post 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 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 themselves to looking to open a place in Pennsylvania, where they thought there might be fewer barriers to entry for new breweries. Then this spring, they heard from a friend that Common Sense was looking to sell its
license and get out of the business. “When we found this place, we knew it was a great opportunity,” she says. Pogorzelski grew up in Hamilton, 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 custom-

Dear Neighbor, July 2 was my one-year anniversary as Director of the City of Trenton’s Department of Water and Sewer, which operates the 200-year-old Trenton Water Works (TWW). I would like to report to you what TWW has done to return to high water quality and how we plan to maintain this excellence, including a summary of future capital projects and customer service. TWW began its revival in 2018, during which we began to think more strategically about our filtration and water-distribution systems, our workforce, current and future capital projects, and our communication with internal and external stakeholders. Fundamental to the latter are our customers, TWW’s most essential asset. MWCNSAD82019
26Hamilton Post | August 2019
Together with my management team, and the deep support of Trenton Mayor W. Reed Gusciora, we are executing a comprehensive plan to reorganize TWW and position it for stronger water quality and operational success. We have made substantial progress. In December 2018, TWW professionals restored high water quality by aggressively implementing our Disinfection Byproducts Reduction Plan. The goal: eliminate DBPs from our finished drinking water. Federal and state water-quality regulations had required TWW to mail several violation notices to our 63,000 customers between 2017 and 2018 as a result of high DBP levels. The 2018 Reduction Plan was a success. Our quarterly sampling and testing for DBPs, data that is supplied to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, continue to exemplify that TWW is meeting federal and state water-quality expectations. At TWW’s water-filtration plant, we fixed key water-treatment systems, including four Superpulsators, to improve turbidity (a measure of water clarity); we launched a year-long $5 million rehabilitation of two chlorine contacts basins to improve disinfection of raw water drawn from the Delaware River; and we completed an upgrade to an advanced control system called SCADA, which stands for Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition.
Dr. Shing-Fu Hsueh, P.E., P.P. Director
SCADA allows plant personnel to control and monitor plant operations, filtration-process performance, pump stations, several multi-million-gallon storage tanks, the 100-million-gallon Pennington Avenue Reservoir and other parts of TWW’s 683-mile water-distribution system. We continue to biannually flush water mains throughout TWW’s water-distribution system to remove sediment and stagnant water. In June, we started flushing our multi-million-gallon elevated storage tanks, a standard maintenance procedure that ensures high water quality and optimal pressure.
August 2019 | Hamilton Post27
Advancing Capital Projects We measure our capital projects in the millions. In fact, TWW will take on 36 projects over the next five years, more than $80 million in improvements to the TWW system. This will ensure high water quality for years to come. Between this fall and the spring of 2020, TWW will launch its $15-million Lead Service Line Replacement Program. This initiative replaces risky lead and galvanized steel water-service lines at residential properties in our service area for around $1,000, a substantially reduced cost to the homeowner. Banned in 1986, these lines can be a source of lead contamination in drinking water. We envision spending $50 million in the next 10 years to replace water-service lines on private properties, as well as those that are part of our water-distribution system (from our water main to the curb). This fall, TWW will introduce corrosion-control techniques to prevent lead particles from entering the water flowing through service lines connected to our system. To improve the flow of water throughout our water-distribution system, TWW will spend $40 million to clean and line water mains and upgrade four-inch water mains to six-inch mains, as needed. The cleaning and lining process removes iron oxide tuberculation—small areas of corrosion— that accumulate in water mains over time, and helps to substantially increase the pressure at fire hydrants.
In the near-term, we plan to make $2.7 million in improvements to the raw-water intake system at our water-filtration plant, which draws from the Delaware River, to make it less susceptible to vegetative and frazil ice clogging and more resilient to drought conditions. System designs are complete. We have launched a $2.2-million capital project to replace all 24 of our water-filtration plant's filter media. These filters, viable for 20 years, are an important part of the filtration process, which enables the plant to produce 27 million gallons of drinking water each day. Recently, we have proposed to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection the creation of a decentralized finished-water-storage-tank network. This project would be an alternative to installing a $30 million, limited-life-span floating cover on TWW’s 100-million-gallon Pennington Avenue Reservoir. The network, enabling TWW to phase out the reservoir completely, would meet our finished-water-storage demands while reducing the age of water in our water-distribution system. It would also improve water-system resiliency, performance, operations, safety and security. The current reservoir is essentially a 120-year-old dam that is prone to leaks and has the potential for failure.
28Hamilton Post | August 2019
Improving Communications
Better Customer Service
TWW has vastly improved its communications and outreach. Since early this year, we have taken out print ads in service-area publications that convey important messages regarding our operations, we have launched a robust social media presence using Facebook, and we have rolled out TWW-Connects, a Reverse 911 System used to issue emergency and routine alerts. To date, we have held more than 10 Public Education Forums, during which residents, customers and public officials have asked questions about their drinking water and water-utility infrastructure and interacted directly with TWW representatives. This personal public outreach has been an effective way to discuss important topics, including the science of water treatment, lead in drinking water and localized sources of lead, TWW’s corrosion-control strategy, capital projects, and our work to fill vacant employment positions. To that end, TWW has hired 34 people in the last 12 months, reducing our vacancy rate to 14% from 40%. I believe that providing customers and residents with a view of our operations through ongoing communication—including our day-to-day production activities and detailed information about the quality of the water—improves transparency and helps restore customer confidence in TWW’s mission to produce drinking water that meets or exceeds federal and state Safe Drinking Water Act standards.
We are enhancing our customer service. We have upgraded our customer-service computer and telephone systems at our Cortland Street operations center and added two additional customer-service representatives (CSR). We are working to hire four more, including two bilingual CSRs. Our goal is to elevate personal service, reduce on-hold times, and improve the overall service experience. In the second half of this year, we will launch InvoiceCloud, an extension of our service that will allow customers to manage their accounts online, provide additional ways to pay bills, check previous bills, set payment reminders and alerts, and more. And, we are offering home delivery of lead testing kits by calling (609) 989-3033. We are reorganizing Trenton Water Works for today and tomorrow. We are building a trained workforce and investing in a water-filtration, storage, and distribution infrastructure to achieve continued water quality and operational success. We deeply value our customers and the communities we serve. As we work to achieve excellence in water quality and operations and to reclaim our status as one of the leading public water systems in the United States, please know that we are at your service.

Sunnybrae Little League rules the summer once again By Rich Fisher They truly were sunny days at Sunnybrae this summer. Now in its 63rd year, the Sunnybrae Little League established itself as the pre-eminent program in District 12 this tournament season, winning two titles and just missing on making it a clean sweep. Sunnybrae won the 10-year-old district crown for the second straight season, and the 10s had advanced to the elimination bracket finals of the Section 3 tournament as of July 18. The 11s won districts, while the 12s reached the finals before losing an eight-inning, walk-off decision to Bordentown after winning four straight elimination bracket games. Throw in the fact that entering sectionals, the 10s were 5-0 in tournament play over the past two years, and the 9-year-olds finished second in one tournament and were in the winner’s bracket final of a second as of July 18, and it’s hard to find a greater brand of success across the board amongst area little leagues. According to the district managers, it all comes down to a family atmosphere. “We all have each other’s back,” said
The Sunnybrae 10-year-old All-Stars set a District 12 scoring record with 70 runs in five games, en route to the championship. The team members are Joey Riley, Jonathan Posivak, Joaquin “Quino” Gutierrez, Dominick DeFrancis, Jayden “Big Time” Tirado, Cullen Bressler, Ricky Bender, Tommy Ditta, Xander “Bam” Pelzer, Allan Elliott, Aidan Knowles, Zach Myczyk and Raffaele Tramo. 12s manager Steve Maglowski, who is also a board trustee. “We’re all out here for the kids. No matter who’s coaching,
we’re all down here as a united group. We have our bumps now and then but that’s just part of being down here all
the time for each other. We always look out for the kids’ best interest no matter what. It’s like a family. We’ve all got each other’s backs. We root for the 10s and the 11s, they root for us, that’s how it is.” SLL Building Manager Rob Riley, Jr., who managed the 10s, said that the close-knit atmosphere lends itself to loyalty. “We have a lot of kids that play travel ball, but they stick together here,” Riley said. “Everyone gears things toward little league tournaments. “Little league’s what’s important. Some people in other programs want to play Cal Ripken, some want to play travel. Growing up, little league was it, and we still have a group that wants to play little league. I think other leagues are losing some kids who are splitting their time with little league and travel. There’s not a commitment like we have at our levels.” Vice-president of Baseball Operations and 11-year-old manager Anthony Zuccarello noted that is the expectation set forth with players and parents at the start of the all-star season. His team had nine players in travel and seven on a team that played in the USABL World Series, but aside playing in the series

The Sunnybrae 11-year-old All-Stars have won district titles in their first two years. This summer, the team went 3-0 in districts, outscoring the opposition, 31-3. Team members are Connor Drudy, Anthony O’Rourke, Bobby Lipsett III, Joey Maglione, Ethan Eskow, Nick Conti, AJ Zuccarello, Frankie Mazzella, Josh Klena, Max Pelzer and Matt Morris. they focused all their energy on what was happening in Yardville. “We missed a few days to play the World Series, but they never practiced with the travel team,” Zuccarello said. “It was those games only. Sunnybrae was first and foremost with everything.” It is an attitude that starts at the top. Jean Anderson has raised three children in the league. She has been involved with SLL for 16 years and served as president for the past three. “I really do think that Jean sets the tone and that’s the atmosphere that she projects and that she asks of us as coaches and board members to follow,” Zuccarello said. “With her it’s always what’s best for Sunnybrae. Sometimes it might not be what’s best for an all-star team but it’s what’s best for Sunnybrae as a whole. The all-stars are roughly 10 percent of your league. But we make decisions based on the group and we don’t just cater to one group.” Zuccarello noted it is not just baseballoriented, pointing out the league has movie nights at the field where the families get together and the players can just be kids; and it holds its year-end picnic at SLL rather than an outside facility. If success is any indicator, it’s a philos-
up on the fence. In that way it’s a real good group.” The 11s had a real good group as well, and will go for a three-peat as 12-yearolds after winning district titles in their first two years. Sunnybrae went 3-0 in districts, outscoring the opposition, 31-3. The team consisted of Connor Drudy, Anthony O’Rourke, Bobby Lipsett III, Joey Maglione, Ethan Eskow, Nick Conti, AJ Zuccarello, Frankie Mazzella, Josh Klena, Max Pelzer and Matt Morris. Zuccarello feels aside from talent, chemistry played a big part in his team’s success. “Some of these boys have been together since they were five, six years old,” the manager said. “They really have grown up together. They go to school together, play baseball together, play basketball together. “When they’re not on a baseball field, they’re in somebody’s pool, somebody’s backyard. Rarely do you see one of them without another. It comes back to that family feeling. These boys are more than just teammates and their families are more than just friends. They become a family. That’s what it comes down to, in good times and bad, we’re there.” There were plenty of good times for the 12s after they fell into the elimination bracket with a 1-0 loss to West Windsor in the opener. That meant that Sunnybrae had to win six straight games to claim the title, and the boys nearly pulled it off in dynamic fashion. After claiming township bragging rights by defeating HTRBA and Nottingham in elimination games, Sun-
ophy that is working. The 10s were an offensive wrecking crew in setting a District 12 scoring record with 70 runs in five games, while allowing just 17. They hit .484 as a team and won the final over East Windsor, 14-8, after EW forced an “if” game with a 7-0 win. The team members were Joey Riley, Jonathan Posivak, Joaquin “Quino” Gutierrez, Dominick DeFrancis, Jayden “Big Time” Tirado, Cullen Bressler, Ricky Bender, Tommy Ditta, Xander “Bam” Pelzer, Allan Elliott, Aidan Knowles, Zach Myczyk and Raffaele Tramo. “We’ve had the same coaching staff and most of these kids the last couplePOLICE years,” Riley said. “We never look like the most talented team on the field, we’re a lot smaller than everybody else, but we field as good as anybody. To be honest, we’re more gritty than anybody else. In the championship game with East Windsor, we were down 5-0 and our kids thought they were up 5-0, and they came back and scored 14. “We’ve got talented kids. As a group we always say it’s not one, it’s one through 13. It’s not the kind of team that gets mad if somebody pinch-hits. The kid that gets pinch-hit for is the first one

nybrae scored two runs in the eighth inning to overcome Robbinsville, 6-5, then scored two in the sixth and two in the seventh to defeat West Windsor. Trailing 3-1 against Bordentown, the 12s scored two in the fourth to tie it and go into another extra inning game. This one was suspended by rain on Saturday and resumed on Sunday, when Bordentown won on a walk-off hit. But that could not take away from a captivating run. The roster included Joey Ditta, Ryan Anderson, Drew Maglowski, Chris Whalen, Adrian Byra, Jacob Kemp, A.J. Maddalena, Derek Anson, Chase Porcella, Cole Manderson, Anthony Giglio, Nick Colella and Peter Lanausse. “We’ve been in that situation before (of being in the elimination bracket) and we knew what the kids could do,” Maglowski said. “We knew they’d battle back, they’re resilient. We told them to keep their heads up. They dug their heels in and grinded through. I can’t be any more proud than I was of these kids, our fans, parents, everyone coming down and supporting us. “They were warriors from the first pitch of the tournament to the last. We couldn’t have asked anything more of the kids. They just battled. I watched 13 kids become 13 young men and play as a team. These boys have a lot of baseball in their future. I’ll never forget this tournament, this group of kids. It was something special and I was glad to be a part of it.” Much like everyone seems glad to be a part of Sunnybrae Little League these days.

The hottest sport at Veterans Park: pickleball By Rich Fisher The name of the sport is “pickleball,” and if it sounds silly then so be it. Just be assured there is a lot of silliness going on in Mercer County these days and it shows no signs of slowing down. Pickleball has become the fastest growing sport in America, particularly for those 50 and over. An example of the explosion can be found at Veterans Park in Hamilton, where pickleball courts were installed at the tail end of last season. “Last year, we sold about 160 passes for tennis for the whole year, through October,” said long-time employee Joe Russo, who works in the park’s tennis office. “This year, at the start of July, we had sold over 300 passes and I guarantee you they were more pickleball than tennis. It’s been incredible.” Those are the kind of statistics Karin Rentschler loves to hear as she spreads the gospel of pickleball throughout Central Jersey. A former Lawrence High tennis player who has lived in Robbinsville for over 25 years, Rentschler is the official United States of America Pickleball Association Ambassador for the Greater Mercer County Area. A career public relations woman, Rentschler was introduced to pickleball in 2013 and became an emissary of the sport one year later. “The USAPA was looking for people to

(Photo by Rich Fisher.) promote it as ambassadors,” she said. “I passed with flying colors. You just have to be very enthusiastic, know the rules, know the game, have some competence in the sport, and just be able to use your background and history to promote it. I had been in communications. I thought it would
be pretty easy to be able to let people know how much the sport was good for them and how much fun they would have.” It is a labor of love for Rentschler, who embraced pickleball after being introduced to it at The Villages in Florida. Unable to play tennis anymore due
to hand and elbow surgeries, she was immediately drawn to a sport that had some of the same tendencies as other paddle and racket activities. Upon returning to New Jersey, Rentschler noticed that the Sawmill YMCA in Hamilton was advertising for pickleballers at their new indoor courts. Eight people, including Rentschler, showed up and began learning the sport. She proudly notes there are now 14 two-hour sessions at the same site and at least 200 people playing between October and April. “After I went to Sawmill, myself and a few other people who I took with me demonstrated the sport at the Pennington Ewing Athletic Club, and they started pickleball over there,” she said. “Then we had some people who brought the sport to Nassau Tennis Club in Skillman. The rest is history. More and more organizations, private communities all had people who loved the sport and promoted the sport and helped it grow in their particular locations.” Another site that has installed courts is Mercer County Park, where Rentschler gives two-hour lessons three times a week in the summer. Rackets are available for those who do not have them. “We can teach you basic shots of pickleball and teach you how to move on the court and score the game,” she said. “If you have people you want to go play with, you can actually then go play a game. The more times you come, the more we can
teach you, and the more you can learn and play better. It’s just a matter of how much time you want to invest in it.” One of her pupils is 70-year-old Robbinsville resident Setsuko Kinjo, who learned about pickleball when Rentschler visited the Robbinsville Senior Center to explain it last year. “I started reading articles and then I decided to get lessons,” Kinjo said. “I went to the Y where she teaches in January and went every week. It was quite different. It was mixed with badminton, ping pong and tennis. And I love all of that so it motivated me to learn.” Like so many others, Kinjo was immediately grabbed by it. “When I was young, I used to play badminton and I took lessons for tennis and ping pong and I do Tai Chi,” she said. “I like to do a lot of different things but I love to do pickleball. I meet so many nice people. It’s very comfortable. I’m only a beginner but I love it.” What is it about pickleball? According to Rentschler there are three specific aspects that make it so popular, especially with the over-50 crowd. It provides exercise, a chance to socialize, and a way to keep mentally sharp. While it can be played with just singles, pickleball is usually a doubles sport. Groups of similar skill levels often set up times to meet and play, and through those matches they get to know each other. Players have come to Veterans Park from as far as Rumson. The court is smaller than tennis and because you are playing with smaller paddles and a type of wiffle ball, the competitors are more condensed and actually have conversations during games without worrying about getting drilled by a hard ball. “Few sports are very social,” Rentschler said. “You’re playing in a very close proximity in pickleball and you’re rotating among a group of people so you get to know people and converse and have social outings afterwards. “For the exercise, people who have gone through knee replacement surgeries or elbow problems have an easier time with pickleball because the court is shorter than the tennis court and you don’t use as much force when you hit the ball. Pickleball is a slower type of game but requires a lot of technique and skill. And it requires mental capacity besides just keeping the score and figuring out who’s serving and receiving. You have to remember the positioning and where to hit the ball. It requires mental acuity. Those three things are great for the aging population.” Don’t be fooled, however, More and more younger people are coming out to play and it is being taught in some middle schools and high schools. Rentschler noted there is a 37-year-old father in Bordentown who plays with his two high school-aged sons. She has also observed senior citizens taking their
grandchildren out to play. “We’ve seen that many times in Florida,” Rentschler said. “When grandkids are visiting, it becomes an intergenerational sport because kids can play at an equal level as the grandparents and vice versa and they have a great time playing together.” Believe it or not, pickleball actually began in 1965. It was created by Washington state congressman Joe Pritchard and two friends. The trio vacationed on Bainbridge Island in the summer, and Rentschler said, “They just didn’t have anything to do. There was a basketball court and ping-pong paddles and ping pong balls and they were hitting and starting to play and eventually all that became pickleball.” The sport’s name came from Bainbridge’s wife, who was on the University of Washington crew team. She noted the last boat in a race was a mixture of positions that rode in all the other boats, so it was called the pickle boat. Since pickleball contains elements of ping pong, tennis, badminton, to a lesser degree, volleyball and bowling, it became pickleball in honor of the pickle boat. It is similar to tennis in that one is hitting the ball over a net to win a point, but the serve is underhand and the scoring is different. It is more like volleyball, where you are playing to score a point while serving, or to regain the serve if receiving. Games are played to 11 and a team must win by two. While having experience with racket sports helps, it is not a requirement. Once the sport caught on in the Northwest, it went down to California, spread to the western snowbird states, came up to the Midwest, expanded to the eastern snowbird states and made its way up to the Northeast. “I say pickleball in New Jersey is in its adolescence,” Rentschler said. “It’s a 54-year-old sport, but it’s new to a large contingent of people around here, maybe in its teenage years.” But like most teenagers, it is growing up fast. Rentschler estimates she has between 800 and 1,000 email addresses in her ambassador’s account and that does not come close to including everyone who plays. “What’s happening at Veterans Park is just a microcosm of how many players there are,” Rentschler said. “There are a lot of private, 55 and over communities starting pickleball, with people who don’t even play in public places.” Rentschler certainly gained a convert in Kinjo. “I’ve been telling other people about it, getting them to play,” she said. “I can see myself doing this for a long time. You have to move, it keeps you in shape. I think pickleball is a good sport.” It certainly is a growing sport. For more information, go online to usapa.org.

McKenzie’s resurgence powers North Hamilton By Rich Fisher
The community mu of Westminster College of the A to but you have to be more patient.” North Hamilton manager Matt Maher, who served as his dad Jim’s assistant for Nottingham, felt McKenzie’s approach was not just aggressive, but aggressive on steroids. “Early in the high school season as soon as the ball left the pitcher’s hand he was swinging; he didn’t even know where the heck it was going,” Matt Maher said. “He was losing track of the strike zone and just going up there hacking. Now he’s getting himself to lay off those pitches. For the most part he’s giving himself a 1-0, 2-0 count and he’s getting fastballs and not missing them. He’s batting behind Bryce (Fremgen) who has been getting a lot of intentional walks, and he’s come through numerous times.” The chasing of pitches was not something new for McKenzie. Coming up through Hamilton Little Lads, Hamilton Babe Ruth and several different travel ball teams, he was constantly in attack mode at the plate. “I was always aggressive, but the pitching wasn’t as good,” he said. “It’s getting more competitive now, and they know how to take advantage of that. I realize I have to get better at the plate. As I’ve been taking pitches, I’ve been seeing more fastballs, and it’s much easier to hit.” Not only is he hitting well, but McKenzie is hitting in the clutch. In the midst
As a lifelong Mets fan, things haven’t gone exactly as planned for Torin McKenzie this summer. What was expected to be a big year has turned into a disaster, but the North Hamilton centerfielder likes to look at the bright side. “I mean, it’s tough to watch, but I love watching Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil,” McKenzie said. “They’re my favorite players to watch, so it isn’t all bad.” Those two have indeed made the summer bearable for McKenzie, but so has one other thing—he has turned it around at the plate. Now in his second year of American Legion baseball, McKenzie is starting to figure things out after struggling last season and also scuffling during the Nottingham High School season. As a sophomore this spring, McKenzie hit just .245, but started to show signs of life late in the season. He carried that momentum into the legion campaign and with two games left in the regular season was hitting .312 with four doubles and a team-high 15 RBI. Much of it has to do with channeling into his inner lack-of-aggression. “I’ve just been trying to look at better pitches,” McKenzie said. “I’ve been trying to be more selective at the plate and wait for pitches I like. That’s pretty much it. I’ve been taking more pitches than high school. It was hard to get used
At the end of the regular season, North Hamilton center fielder Torin McKenzie was hitting .312 with a team-high 15 RBI. (Photo by Rich Fisher.)
“He’s getting big two-out hits and I’ll bet you he’s probably hitting .500 with guys in scoring position,” Maher said. “It seems like when we get him up with guys on base we’re getting good results. He’s the guy we want up at the plate.” McKenzie certainly wants to be up in those situations. “I like batting in key spots,” he said. “I don’t let the pressure get to me. I just do what I normally do with a regular at-bat. Just go up and take the bad pitches and swing at the good ones. There’s a time and a place (to attack) and I just realized I have to take more pitches to help my team.” Conversely, his aggressive nature has been a huge help defensively. After playing right field for Nottingham, McKenzie was asked to play center for North Hamilton for the simple reason Maher had no one to play there. He has not only adapted, but thrived. “Man, he couldn’t be any better out there,” Maher said. “I don’t think he’s made an error. He’s covered a lot more ground than anyone I’ve ever seen in centerfield. Including (former Northstar) David Scott, who’s one of the best centerfielders I’ve ever seen. He gets to everything. It don’t look pretty, but he gets there. He runs it down and catches it.” Maher invented a word to describe what makes McKenzie so good with the glove.
YARDVILLE CYO BACK TO SCHOOL!
of North Hamilton’s late-season playoff push, he had an RBI hit to break a scoreless tie against Hightstown in the fifth inning, his two-run single against Trenton increased a 3-2 lead to 5-2 and, although it eventually ended in a loss, he got a big early hit to give the Hibos a 2-0 lead against Hamilton.

“He’s super-ly athletic,” the skipper said. “He gets a good jump on the ball, and he’s got a cannon for an arm.” McKenzie, who has long been a corner outfielder, has enjoyed the move. “I like it a lot,” he said. “I’ve been seeing the ball well in center. I like the outfield in general. But centerfield is fun. I like kind of being in control. I try and get good reads in the outfield. I wish I could get faster, but a good read helps, too.” McKenzie’s athleticism actually cost him some time on the baseball field. While playing in the CYO Basketball League this past March, he went up to block a shot and broke his little finger. It kept him out for most of the Northstars’ preseason practices. “At first I thought I jammed it, and I started pulling at it and that made matters worse,” McKenzie said. “It bothered me a little when I came back. It took a little while to get used to it at the plate. Fielding wasn’t a struggle, but at the
plate I struggled a little. But it wasn’t that big of a deal. The swinging at bad pitches was a much bigger issue.” When he’s not playing baseball, McKenzie likes going to the volleyball courts in Robbinsville. A friend turned him on to the game about a month ago. “I love to spike,” he said. “We just play for fun. I’ve always enjoyed pick-up volleyball. I might join a league when I’m a little older, but right now I’m just focusing on baseball.” That includes playing and watching the sport. “He loves his Mets,” Maher said. “He’s a quiet kid, and he does what you tell him. All he talks about is the Mets and going to play volleyball. Usually the only four words he ever says is, ‘Let’s go to the courts,’ or he talks about Pistol Pete Alonso.” He’s a man with set priorities, and thankfully for North Hamilton, those priorities now include getting a good pitch to hit.

K&H Automotive
Celebrating 40 years in the collision repair business
What is Shop Hamilton? Shop Hamilton is the leading local organization committed to bringing businesses and the community together for the good of all. With more than 100 members and growing, Shop Hamilton encourages members to develop relationships that organically result in more business. Joyce Cantalice is Chairwoman of Shop Hamilton and a Financial Specialist dedicated to educating and helping families and businesses to protect their income and save for retirement. She says Shop Hamilton members are passionate about supporting their network. Not only do they refer one another’s services to clients whenever possible—they also use one another’s services and create partnerships where they can benefit both businesses. K&H Automotive celebrates 40 years in the collision repair business with the addition of their new “Commercial Fleet Service”. Brothers Joe and Al Krebs opened K&H Automotive Collision Service in 1980 with their focus on being “more than a body shop”. It was important that not only their repairs would be first rate; but also that a customer’s experience would be exceptional. This is still evident almost 40 years later at their facility on Industrial Drive in Hamilton. This state of the art facility is continually upgraded to remain on the cutting edge of collision repair. Likewise, K&H Collision Technicians also undergo regular training for the same reason. K&H has also made the commitment to aluminum auto body repair. Many new cars and trucks have aluminum body components that require specialized tools, training and equipment. Ford’s F150 and Super Duty are both built with aluminum bodies and many of these trucks are used by fleets for construction use. K&H has been servicing fleet vehicles from the beginning for their customers. They now offer this service to all fleets. K&H Automotive Collision Center announces their new “Fleet” service for Ford truck aluminum collision repair. This is designed to streamline
your collision repair experience by giving fleet vehicles priority, getting them back on the road ASAP. K&H Automotive has made the investment in not only training and special tools, but also in the equipment required for a correct, safe aluminum collision repair. In fact, they are the only certified aluminum collision repair facility in all of Mercer County. So, besides a more rapid repair…you’re also getting a correctly performed repair. Al Krebs says, “No other collision repair facility has made a commitment to help companies and municipalities when it comes to the rapid collision repair of aluminum bodied trucks…it only seemed natural”. Joe agrees and adds, “A work truck isn’t making any money for it’s owner while it sits in a shop for repair…in fact…it costs money”. Correct aluminum repair is imperative, and with many work trucks being leased, correct repairs may help you at lease’s end. K&H Automotive is a factory certified collision repair facility for Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Volkswagen. They service all makes and models. K&H Automotive is at 23 Industrial Drive in Hamilton NJ. You can learn more about K&H at khauto.com.

A fun story connecting these member dots involves Printworx and Memory Makers. Originally, each had its own location: Printworx on Whitehorse Mercerville Road, and Memory Makers on Broad Street. Then Printworx purchased a building on George Dye Road, and offered Memory Makers an opportunity to move in to their building. Memory Makers has now established an exclusive showroom within Printworx. This partnership expanded the customer base of both businesses. Memory Makers then negotiated with K’s Events Decorations and Rentals, renting them their building on Broad Street. For direct links and more information on these three premiere companies and their services, go to www.shophamiltonnj.com. Shop Hamilton members comprise printers, web designers, commercial maintenance contractors, insurers, financial planners, dentists, doctors—the list goes on. Together, we work closely with local government to bring our businesses directly to the residents at events like National Night Out and Oktoberfest. Boots on the ground, we meet our residents! Each Shop Hamilton Member either operates a business in Hamilton or lives in Hamilton. We live here, we play here, and we work here. You will see us at the local grocery stores, walking our dogs at Veteran’s Park, attending our children’s sports activities, and so much more. “I believe that’s why we go the extra mile for our consumers and clients. For us, we don’t leave work at the end of the day. We are here 24/7, offering our best selves to the community day in and day out.” Member Jay Dugan is founder of Radical Creative Co. who offers logo and website design, social media implementation and other branding services, and who serves on the Executive Board of Shop Hamilton. “Shop Hamilton helps us promote our integrated marketing services, in an incubator group connecting us to larger business affiliations in Hamilton,” Dugan says. Personal customized service is key to success and evident at Word Center Printing, where Marilyn Silverman operates a full-color printing service, an invitation boutique and a resume writing service. Marilyn, an active member of Shop Hamilton who sits on the Sub-Committee, says: “By far, Shop Hamilton is the most effective group effort to support local business in our community. We have met so many local business owners with whom we now do business, and who have become friends as well!” Noelmarie Rossi, co-owner of Mindful Wellness, and a member of the Sub-Committee, says: “We exchange more than business cards. We exchange ideas,” She cites the help and advice she’s received in launching her business which includes exercise, meditation, fitness classes and life coaching. Cantalice says Shop Hamilton also works to make Hamilton better by joining forces with local organizations, such as the YMCA, Bromley CYO, Rotary, Ryan’s Quest, and so many more. “The needs are great and every bit counts,” she says. “The group is committed to supporting the needs of local non-profits who directly support the community. Nonprofits are invited in to share information about how they are supporting the community and upcoming fundraisers.” If you live in Hamilton or operate a business in Hamilton, be our guest on the last Wednesday of every month at 7:45 a.m. at the YMCA on Whitehorse Mercerville Road. See friends and make friends and learn how Shop Hamilton can help you expand your business.

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.
Developed under the guidance of a Blue Ribbon National Expert Panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses 28 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign grades to more than 2,600 U.S. acute care hospitals twice per year. The Hospital Safety Grade’s methodology is peer-reviewed and fully transparent, and the results are free to the public. Health Headlines by Capital Health | Hamilton Post43
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 | Hamilton Post45

FIGHT IN THE MUSEUM
10 questions with Joseph Gyurcsak By Thomas Kelly I have known Joseph Gyurcsak for some time and have always admired his work and work ethic. He is no Sunday Painter. He is an expert in materials, technique, color and composition. He paints from life. His work is shown in many galleries and is very well collected. He considers his work, abstract realist or abstract impressionist. What are you communicating with your art? I am capturing the natural or artificial light on my subjects, presenting them in an abstract realism form. What media do you use? I use oil, acrylic and watercolor. I treat them the same. My focus is spontaneity and fluidness. The media doesn’t matter. It’s how I chose to bend the mediums, so that the surface is unique, irregular and suggestive in an organic way. Describe your process. I must have a strong emotional attachment to the subject. I usually have a title to the painting early on, this keeps my focus, capturing the essence of the subject and its immediate feel. I often skip the drawing and go right to painting. If the connection is strong, I want my energy to spill right into the painting with pure gut reaction. Working immediately from life keeps the color lively and free flowing. If this energy is lost then the painting will suffer. Do you paint in studio or outdoors? I work outside from life more. The work that I do outside in plein air is most gratifying to me. I also do small studies outside, and then I may do a larger painting in the studio over a longer span of time.
Hamilton-based artist Joseph Gyurcsak finds inspiration in working immediately from life, at places like the St. Gregor y’s Carnival. The result is works like “Carnival.” Have you painted around Hamilton? I paint at Sayen Gardens. I call this my laboratory, a place where I try out new ideas and techniques. I’ve painted at the St. Gregory Carnival many times and did again this year. I paint many areas throughout New Jersey; old farms, junkyards, things in decay. I like the challenge of painting chaos. Busy designs interest me more than the perfect landscape. Are you a mentor? I am. I have been mentored by many leading representational painters of our

time, so I feel an obligation to give back. I teach in my studio in Hamilton and have done so for 29 years. I hold workshops throughout the U.S. and have demonstrated painting at more than 160 leading universities, colleges and art schools. You work for an art supply company. how does that affect your personal work? I am the resident artist for Blick Art Materials and the Brand Manager for Utrecht Artists Colors now for 21 years.
This lets me really study painting, art material R&D and travel. I am inspired by different cultures and artists. I now have a depth of knowledge artistically, that I can be a judge of art events and a speaker at recognized organizations such as The Salmagundi Club, Oil Painters of America and The American Impressionist Society. What fight/struggle do you have regarding your art? My biggest challenge is time management. Juggling galleries, shows, teaching, traveling to art events and my fulltime position at Blick/Utrecht, I never have a dull day. My wife Lisa is my backbone; she manages a lot of my business. I couldn’t do it all without her. Do you have a dream project? I’d like to find a backer to develop an art school with a fantastic faculty of artists right in the center of Hamilton. We could have nationally recognized artists come in, lecture, demonstrate and hold workshops. I have the connections. I just need some backers. We would put Hamilton on the map as one of the finest Atelier schools in the country. I am ready! What is on the horizon? I am increasing the frequency of my workshops to four per year. I am planning a workshop in Italy for September/ October 2020. This will be my first workshop abroad. Very exciting! See more info about this accomplished artist at josephgyurcsak.com.

Living in the NY/NJ/PA area fosters a familiarity with tolls, and a natural aversion to them. As a youth, I frequently traveled the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in New York, from Staten Island into Brooklyn and back. A story, possibly urban legend, had it that the director of a TV commercial filming at the Verrazano changed the toll price listing in the background of his shot, because the real amount was thought too high to be believable to a wide audience. In recent years, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority has been good for a news headline every couple of years as it extends or reclaims that bridge’s title as Most Expensive Toll Bridge in America, with a toll that currently runs $19 without discounts. Although you may be shocked to learn that New Jersey doesn’t have any of the 10 most expensive toll roads in the country (measured in cost per mile), that’s more than made up for by the preponderance of toll bridges and tunnels positioned at many (most?) of our state crossings. Newcomers to America, unaware of the history of colonies and statehood and such, might be forgiven for thinking that individual state identity is just a complicated ploy to extract money. As of July, there’s a new toll bridge in town—the Scudder Falls Bridge. Note that it is “Scudder Falls,” not “Scudders Falls” or “Scudder’s Falls”, though most of the people I know use one of the latter two forms. I usually do the same—chalk it up to “When in Rome... (or Hamilton)... do as the Romans (or Hamiltonians) do.” And yes, I say “Saint RAY-feels” instead of Saint Raphael’s, for the same reason. The new Scudder Falls Bridge replaced the old, free one, and will cost drivers with E-Z Pass $1.25 to travel into Pennsylvania. Those without E-Z Pass will be mailed a bill for $2.60. Back in the early 1990s, when traveling the Garden State Parkway at least offered the relief of flinging coins at the collection basket, some people—call them innocent and naive, call them overly optimistic, call them unfamiliar with the workings of government—pictured a future with no tolls. Zero. Toll taking took its toll, after all, in traffic tie-ups and employee salaries, and the argument could be made that tolls had outlived their usefulness. But the electronic revolution saved the day. In the late 1990s, electronic toll collection was introduced to New Jersey roads, starting with the Atlantic City Expressway, followed by the Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike. E-Z Pass was intended to be a faster, more efficient, almost pleasant means to pay your way. For a long time, New Jersey relied on tolls, perhaps because the gasoline tax, used in most states to fund transportation projects and maintenance, was kept low. Road tolls increased steadily, with big jumps in 2008 and 2012. Then in 2016, and again in 2018, New Jersey’s gasoline
tax was raised significantly. As a result, we have the 9th highest gas tax in the country. Plus a whole bunch of tolls. There are plenty of reasons this sort of thing keeps happening. Gas taxes and tolls have few limits as to how they’re spent. Authorities are more or less free to undertake projects they claim are “necessary” and if the money’s not there, taxes or tolls are easily increased to cover the costs. Money intended for roadway maintenance is often “borrowed” for other items in the state budget. And we, as taxpayers, are largely kept out of the decision-making process. The irony of E-Z Pass is that while making the process better for drivers in many ways, it’s also given authorities the ability to invisibly tighten the noose as needed. E-Z Pass holders already pay a $1 per month service fee for the privilege of paying tolls, and who’s to say whether E-Z Pass discounts result in drivers paying any less money than they would have, had history taken a different, non-electronic course. But people have become accustomed to tolls, leading to only occasional outrage when a toll hike crosses some previously unknown level of acceptability. This usually leads to a slight scaling back of the original proposal, and a “win” for everyone, though the toll still increases. Tolls are seen by many as a fair way to support roads, tunnels, and bridges, because they’re paid by the people who use them—as opposed to the gasoline tax, which, while more efficient because of minimal administrative costs, is paid by everyone who drives, and is thus less politically palatable. With electronic tolls making tolling so easy, industry types—yes, there is a tolling “industry”—predict more tolls in the future. Pat Jones, executive director of the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association, was quoted in 2018 as saying “I think 2018 is going to be a very good year for tolling,” and it’s safe to say his definition of “very good year” differs from yours and mine. It’s also safe to say that 2019 is probably not, in his estimation, not a good year for tolling. It seems there’s no way to avoid tolls; even a GPS app like Google Maps, which specifically allows you to choose to “avoid tolls” on your driving route, should probably rename that option to a more realistic “minimize tolls”, since it, like the rest of us, has no answer for how to drive into New York City without coughing up cash. The expression “all told” is roughly synonymous to “in the end” or “the final result is”, and is occasionally misspelled as “all tolled.” In this case, though, the two might as well be interchangeable. All told, we’re all tolled. Peter Dabbene is a Hamilton-based writer. His website is peterdabbene.com. His books can be purchased at amazon.com.
SHE SAID, SHE SAID Yes, I have no idea what I’m doing By Samantha Sciarrotta ssciarrotta@communitynews.org I have no idea what I’m doing. I think most people grew up with complete illustrations of what they wanted or expected their future to look like, right? At least a loose timeline mapped out. I know I did. When I was in high school I used to think I’d have everything together by the time I graduated college. Then I thought it would fall into place when I was 25. That turned into “when I move out of my parents’ house.” Then, last month, I moved into my first apartment, and, maybe unsurprisingly, I still felt stuck. The new expiration date has yet to be determined. Please stand by. We know about that early-20s, postcollege uncertainty. That has been a trope forever. But nobody warns you about the almost-30 period of constant am-I-really-an-adult-or-has-mylife-not-started-yet self-reflection, and something tells me that’s not a feeling that ever truly disappears. I think I’ve thought “What am I doing, exactly?” to myself every single day for the past 15 years. With every major change comes a new round of questions and insecurities, and those changes seem to become bigger and more frequent as you age. I certainly felt that when I moved to a new town last month. Moving day itself was sweaty and chaotic, but my family and friends couldn’t have been more helpful or generous with hand-me-downs and carrying boxes up to my second-floor space. It was a physical whirlwind of packing a truck and couch lifting and record pack-
ing and rug shopping and rearranging. The two or three days after everything was settled were mostly spent solo, building furniture and alphabetizing my books and albums. Slowly, it has started to feel like my own space. Decorating is exciting and fulfilling for me. Finally framing and hanging up posters and prints I’d been storing in my childhood bedroom for my future living room really felt like I had done something great. I opened a toolkit more than once. I use an oil diffuser. I’ve been cooking dinner. Sometimes I even eat cereal at my kitchen table before work instead of scarfing down a couple of cookies at my desk. (Yes, my computer keyboard is full of crumbs. No, I will not be taking questions at this time.) Still, those hazy, latent feelings of doubt continue to lurk no matter how comfortable I get. This continues to be very scary! I’m living somewhere other than Trenton/Hamilton for the first time in my life, other than college. I’m living alone for the first time ever. I want a cat, even I am most definitely allergic to them. All these thoughts have been driven by what has been a period of tremendous change. All of July felt like a train
able pop culture reference, but I’ve also been watching the mid-to-late 2000s NBC sitcom 30 Rock for the eighth time. Liz Lemon’s musings on living alone in her 30s (“I have imaginary arguments with couples on House Hunters. Why can’t people look past paint colors?!”) and dedication to “having it all,” even if that means wolfing down a hoagie at airport security while trying to find a man before his flight takes off, have all felt very relatable. Eating a sad ham sandwich for dinner at 10 p.m. while watching Liz sing about her night cheese has made adapting to this change and addressing my fears with myself a little easier. Watching Liz struggle and bumble and question is a true comfort. All of that carries over into real life, too. Nobody knows where they’re headed. Nobody has it completely together, no matter what their Instagram stories say. We may never reach the peak of pure, unfiltered satisfaction. But I’ve come to realize that there will be a point when everything will come together in a way that works for me. I think that’s something you can’t know until you get there, wherever “there” is, or what it evolves into over time. Fixating on the intricacies of change only makes it that much more difficult to get past. So, yes, I have no idea what I’m doing. But there is something I would like to go back in time and tell young padawan Sam—neither does anybody else.
hurtling along at breakneck speed. I’m not great at going with the flow, so this was a problem. I have felt kind of frozen. There’s been a vague sense of Bobby in Stephen Sondheim’s musical Company dancing around in my brain over the last month or so. “Being Alive,” Bobby’s iconic, stirring closing number, has been looping in my head on repeat. So much is happening around me, accompanied by a chorus of what feels like everybody in my life singing “Bobby bubbi” and “Robert darling” and “Bobby baby” at me—well-meaning, I know, but a sometimes overwhelming reminder of my own doubts, too. But thinking about Company reminds me of another truth—that “having it together” is completely subjective, and it’s often a veneer, as it is with many of the couples in the musical. The idealized version that you create for yourself is probably unattainable. Ultimately, I know I’m not alone in these feelings. Imperfections, insecurities, change that seems insurmountable are all things everyone has felt at one time or another, and anything else is often a facade. I’m sorry to make another insuffer-
With every major change comes a new round of questions and insecurities. Those changes seem to become bigger and more frequent as you age.
