Shining light on an epidemic Township to host Overdose Awareness Day in Mercer County on Aug. 27 By anne sWeeney The official speeches are finished, the devastating statistics revealed, the heartbreaking stories of lost loved ones told. Now the participants in International Overdose Awareness Day in Mercer County gather in a circle for a candlelight vigil in memory of the 700,000 Americans who have lost their lives to drug overdose from 1999 to 2017. Some of their survivors speak in broken voices of teenagers
dead from a heroin overdose; parents lost to suicide because they could not overcome addiction to opioids; partners brokenhearted to find their loved ones becoming addicted to prescription pain medication legitimately prescribed to them by doctors, and then moving on to heroin when their drugs were no longer available. Tears fall on flickering candles. The group finishes this testimonial to a national tragedy by singing “Amazing Grace.” So ends International Overdose Awareness Day, a global event now in its fourth year in Mercer County. Scheduled on Aug. 27 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Woolsey Park in Hopewell Township, this year’s event will include speakers from the Mer-
cer County Prosecutor’s Office, The Prevention Coalition of Mercer County and community members who have lost friends and family to opioid addiction. International Overdose Awareness Day seeks to educate the community about this ravaging epidemic of drug overdose that took over 70,200 American lives in 2017 alone. A full 47,600 of these overdoses involved opioids. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that misuse of, and addiction to, opioids costs the United States $78.5 billion annually. That figure is measured in terms of the cost of healthcare, lost productivity, addiction treatment, law enforcement, criminal justice See OVERDOSE, Page 12
Leukemia Cup: a race against cancer Lisa Thorndike has raised nearly half a million dollars for cancer research and treatment while fighting multiple myeloma By Julia Marnin

Lisa Thorndike found support groups she never knew she was looking for through the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Leukemia Cup Regatta. The England native and Hopewell resident has lived with multiple myeloma for almost three decades. For 27 years, she has been attending and raising money for the annual regatta, a fundraising sailing event held at yacht clubs all over the nation. She says these events have connected her with lifelong friends while she battles mul-
tiple myeloma, a rare and incurable blood cancer that forms in white blood cells known as plasma cells. And she has personally raised nearly half a million dollars for the regatta, money that organizers say goes toward life-saving research and treatment. Thorndike, 78, has had 36 bone marrow transplants, and expects to have more due to her condition, in which cancer cells overpower healthy cells in the bone marrow. This year, she has raised around $22,000 even while undergoing chemotherapy and infusions of Darzalex, a

monoclonal antibody meant to slow multiple myeloma’s progression. Despite receiving her weekly infusion for four hours through an IV and experiencing the nausea that accompanies it, Thorndike says she always looks for the positives. She hopes to reach $24,000 by the time she attends the Leukemia Cup Regatta Aug. 9–11 at the Ocean City Yacht Club. There she will look forward to renewing old acquaintances. “You see all your friends but unfortunately, some of them do not come back,” she says. Each regatta features a number of sailing competitions for which participants form crews and compete against one another. See REGATTA, Page 14

Persichilli worked at AT&T for 31 years in various human resources positions and was vice president of human resources for Prudential Financial in Newark for 5 years prior to his retirement. Persichilli was elected to the Pennington Borough Council in 2004 and for three consecutive terms as mayor from 2006 until December 2018, when he retired as the longest serving mayor in the history of Pennington. He was a member of the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce, MidJersey Regional Chamber of Commerce, New Jersey Conference of Mayors, and the American Heart Association, and served on the Board of St. Francis Medical Center Foundation and the Development Committee of Catholic Charities, Diocese of Trenton.

mayor. From when he was first elected to council in 2004 until he resigned as mayor in December 2018, Mayor Persichilli was a great friend and colleague to the borough employees, elected officials and volunteers he worked with. “He approached every problem with the single focus of making the Pennington community a little better. We are all richer for having had the pleasure of working with Tony and calling him our friend. Our thoughts are with his wife, Judy, and his countless family and friends.”

Mayo Clinic researcher gets Epilepsy Society grant
The American Epilepsy Society has announced that fellowships and grants have been awarded to 25 early career epilepsy scientists, including one researcher who is a Pennington native. Nicholas Gregg, from Pennington, has been granted a Research Training Fellowship for Clinicians. Gregg, currently at Mayo Clinic, is one of 25 early career epilepsy scientists awarded a fellowship or grant from one of the largest nongovernmental funders for those starting their epilepsy research. “The scientific and medical communities recognize there is a shortage of researchers focused on epilepsy,” said
Dr. Page Pennell, president of the American Epilepsy Society. “AES is committed to supporting early career investigators, which in turn will produce new discoveries and treatments in the years to come.” AES is one of the largest nongovernmental funders for those starting their careers in epilepsy research, reporting that more than 85 percent of its grant dollars targeted to early career researchers working across the spectrum of epilepsy research from basic science through translational and clinical investigations. The program has nearly doubled in its reach from 14 awardees in 2015 to 25 awardees in 2019.
Township extends payment deadline after tax bill delay
Hopewell Township announced that the issuance of 2019 tax bills was delayed last month after the county certification process took longer than normal. Tax bills were made available online as of July 24, and were mailed to all residents over that week. As a result of the delay, Hopewell Township extend the grace period for third-quarter tax payments, with payment now being due within 25 days after they were mailed,. That would mean payments would be due between Aug. 19 and Aug. 22. Residents can pay their property taxes online, drop off checks in person at the tax collector office, or mail a check to Hopewell Township.
Residents with questions should contact township tax collector Mary Kennedy-Nadzak at (609) 737-0605, Ext. 6450. Commenting on the delay, Mayor Kristin McLaughlin said: “We wanted to share this news proactively given our issues with the Pennington Post Office last year. It’s unfortunate that the state, and then therefore the county, needed extra time to certify the tax rate. This is completely out of our control, but will affect our residents. “To be fair to our residents, we will also be extending the Q3 grace period for property tax payments. Payments will now be due no later than 25 days after the bills are mailed, likely sometime the week of August 19th,” she said in a media release. Hopewell Township reports that it will be able to delay its payments to the county and schools as a result of this issue.

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
8Hopewell Express | 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.

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.

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.

OVERDOSE continued from Page 1 and incarceration. The epidemic even impacts the lifespan of the average American, contributing to suicide, infant mortality and HIV and Hepatitis C transmission through dirty needles. Life expectancy in the U.S. fell for the second year in a row in 2016, an alarming trend, since life expectancy is considered an indicator of the general wellbeing of a nation. *** The statistics do not begin to tell the story of the human tragedies of lives cut short, families destroyed, children born addicted to drugs and people turning to lives of crime and subsequently jailed. Consequently, Overdose Awareness Day seeks to heal the wounds of the survivors while addressing the larger community as to the urgency of the opioid crisis. “This is a time to grieve for those whom we have lost, to acknowledge the pain of those left behind and to raise awareness of the impact this epidemic has on American families,” says Barbara Sprechman, assistant executive director at Prevention Coalition of Mercer County. Many say that the opioid crisis began with irresponsible pharmaceutical companies flooding the market with opioids, often prescribed by doctors, who were falsely assured they were not addictive. The situation has escalated into a catastrophic health emergency that spans prescription drugs such as oxycodone (OxyContin), hydrocodone (Vicodin), synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, and heroin, now cheaper and easier to obtain than some prescription drugs. Among the more than 70,200 drug overdose deaths estimated in 2017, the sharpest increase occurred among deaths related to fentanyl and other synthetic narcotics causing over 28,400 overdose deaths. Pharmaceutical fentanyl is an opioid pain reliever, approved for treating severe pain, predominantly in patients suffering from advanced cancer. It is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. Prescribed in the form of transdermal patches or lozenges, it can be diverted for misuse and abuse. Sold through illegal drug markets for its heroin-like effect, it is often mixed with heroin and/ or cocaine. Drug overdose is now the leading cause of death in the U.S. outpacing car crashes, homicide, suicide and HIV. According to the CDC, New Jersey’s opioid-related death rates are among the fastest growing in the nation, rising 29 percent from 1,376 deaths in 2016 to 1,969 deaths in 2017. In 2018, the Garden State counted more than 3,000 overdose deaths from its largest cities to suburban communities and rural areas. “This epidemic reaches every neigh-
borhood, every ethnicity, every economic group,” says Hopewell Township police chief Lance Maloney, whose officers are deeply involved in fighting the opioid epidemic and preparing for International Overdose Awareness Day. Police and EMTS are the first responders to 911 calls reporting overdoses and they can often avert tragedy by the use of naloxone. Sold under the brand name Narcan, naloxone is a powerful tool against opioid overdose that is carried by police and EMTs and available in hospitals and drug treatment facilities. Some states now require schools to have the drug on hand. It is most frequently administered as a nasal spray and quickly works to reverse the depressing effects opioids have on the central nervous system. In 2018, New Jersey first responders administered naloxone more than 16,000 times. While Narcan is technically a prescription medication, most states have loosened restrictions on its sales, making it available overthe-counter. In June of this year, the state sponsored a day of free distribution to the public at select pharmacies throughout the state. Truly a life-saving “miracle drug,” Narcan was first approved for use in the U.S. in 1971, but the opioid crisis has made its use far more prevalent. A CDC study credits the drug with the reversal of 26,000 opioid overdoses. The study recommended that more laypersons be trained in the use of Narcan and since 2010, the number of nonmedical professionals trained in administering it, increased 187 percent. Significantly, many of these overdose reversals were administered by friends or families of the victims, usually without the assistance of EMT or police. And while the initial act saves lives, the aftermath creates a new set of problems. ‘’In a sense, Narcan works too well,” says Chief Maloney. “The user is quickly and effectively revived and often claims not to need additional treatment. And, there is the fear that the user and the person who revived him or her will face criminal charges.” In fact, that is not the case, thanks to New Jersey’s Overdose Protection Act, a Good Samaritan law that provides immunity from prosecution for persons who try to prevent a fatal overdose, even if they are ingesting the drug themselves. However, Chief Mahoney points out, if a person is found to be in possession of drugs under other circumstances, such as a traffic stop or house search, charges will be brought. In these cases, an advocate can be assigned to assist the accused in getting help for addiction and may result in a lighter sentence. Education on these issues is vital, and police departments in Mercer County now provide informational packets to individuals and family members
Many Narcan overdose reversals have been administered by friends and families of victims, usually without assistance from police or EMTs.
HoVal grad enters Air Force Academy By Jean Choi David Choi was raised in Hopewell Township and is a young man who benefited from the Hopewell Valley School District’s academic program. He attended Stony Brook Elementary School in Kindergarten then went to Timberlane Middle School, and finally graduated from Hopewell Valley Central High School on June 20. When most seniors are enjoying the summer travelling, working, volunteering, and relaxing before the start of the college year, Choi was at a sixweek intensive bootcamp among the cadets selected across the country who received the honor of being appointed to the prestigious U.S. Air Force Academy located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This training will be some of the toughest the cadets will experience in their four years at the academy. It is a process intended to eliminate anyone who is not mentally nor physically fit for becoming a leader in the USAFA. Upon graduation, all cadets are promoted to second lieutenant and awarded a commission to serve in the Air Force. Each candidate must demonstrate academic, athletic, community involvements and extracurricular activities that make them outstanding. There is a high percentage of valedictorians, team captains, outstanding athletes, and leaders representing their community. Every year, more than 10,000 students apply to the academy. Only 1,147 were picked this year for the Class of 2023. One hurdle for applicants is the requirement that they secure a nomination from the president, vice president, of a member of Congress. Members of Congress can have no more than five nominated cadets in the academy at any given time, so the nomination process is very competitive. Choi received a nomination from Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman, representing New Jersey’s 12th District. He was offered an appointment from Lt. Colonel Doyle representing the U.S. Air Force Academy at the Hopewell Valley Central High School’s Academic Awards Ceremony on June 13.

David Choi with his letter of acceptance from the U.S. Air Force. Choi flew to the USAFA with his father for In Processing Day and to start his long journey to become an officer in the U.S. Air Force. On I-Day, he wore a Hopewell Track and Field Shirt displaying the high school mascot Bulldog. Choi was inspired to join the military when he joined the U.S. Naval Seacadet Corp John T. Dempster Jr. Division in Lawrence, which was ranked 3rd in the nation among 400 Seacadet divisions across the country. The leadership program for kids ages 10-19 aims to teach the basics of military service and the sense of service for the community and country. There is a twist of fate to Choi’s story. Students who attend Stony Brook Elementary School are asked to write a letter to themselves in fifth grade, saying where they think they will be in five years. A few days before their graduation from high school, the students are given their old letters to read. Over the years, Choi had forgotten that he had written the letter, and was shocked when he reread it for the first time. In the letter, he wrote that his future goal was to become either a scientist or an Air Force pilot. Jean Choi is David Choi’s mother.

It includes an information toolkit and special events with speakers on sports medicine, opioid addiction and law enforcement. “Time to Remember, Time to Act” is the slogan for International Overdose Awareness Day. In remembering, communities can acknowledge the pain of families and friends of those lost to drug overdose. By acting, using a range of medical, legal and communications strategies, we can raise awareness of overdose, reduce the stigma of a drug-related death and most important, show that the tragedy of drug overdose is preventable.

REGATTA continued from Page 1 “They’re raising money for blood cancer and they’re having fun doing it,” says Thorndike, who has attended Leukemia Cup Regattas at many different yacht clubs through the years. She is around $15,000 away from her fundraising goal of half a million, and says her fundraising efforts include writing to the pharmaceutical companies of the drugs she takes, selling advertisement pages of the event’s program book, and going down her Christmas card list asking friends. Participants who raise at least $15,000 at Regattas nationwide are honored at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Fantasy Sail event, held at a different yacht club each year. Thorndike has reached the number every year since she began, with her record fundraising amount for a year being $28,000. Thorndike does not participate in the actual sailing at the events, saying she is not a racer. However, one year at a Fantasy Sail in Los Angeles, she joined a boat as a crew member, saying she received “boat bite” bruises. She is being recognized at this year’s Fantasy Sail, to be held in in Fort Myers, Florida, although she will not be in attendance. She will be going to Hawaii to see her 50-year-old son, Alden Thorndike IV, run a marathon. “Family has to come first,” she says. Thorndike, originally from England, came to America in 1962, when she was 21. She lived in Minneapolis with her aunt, grandmother and cousins.
Later, she moved to San Francisco, where she met her Alden Thorndike III. They married and eventually they settled down in central New Jersey, first Princeton and later Hopewell Township, and Thorndike went to work for BristolMyers Squibb, where she had a 26-year career. The couple had two children: Alden IV and son Michael, 48. Thorndike had been involved with fundraising long before the Leukemia Cup Regattas. As a supporter of the arts, she was a former guild president of the June Opera Festival, which is now the Princeton Festival. The opera has always been a passion of hers. “Raising money for opera is like pulling teeth, people think you’re crazy,” she says. “Raising money for cancer is still difficult, but it’s a lot easier.” A day came when Thorndike began to experience back pain, which she presumed to be arthritis. She sought answers at Princeton Sports Medicine. “At first they thought maybe I was out of alignment,” Thorndike says It was after an MRI that her doctors suggested she see an oncologist. She was diagnosed with solitary plasmacytoma in 1993, a disorder like multiple myeloma but localized, rather than spread throughout the body. The same year, Thorndike went to the first of what would be her many Leukemia Cup Regattas. She says she used to support the Cape May Stage theater, and read in a newspaper that a Leukemia Cup Regatta was being held there. “I thought, ‘I’ve never seen the yacht club,’” Thorndike recalls, jokingly say-

Lisa Thorndike at a recent Phillies game. ing the yacht club in Cape May was the one bar she had never been to, due to its exclusiveness. The event was in need of a photographer, so Thorndike volunteered. In 1995 at Fox Chase Cancer Center, she was diagnosed with smoldering myeloma, a precursor of multiple myeloma. Then, in 1997—“the year Princess Diana died,” as Thorndike thinks of it—she received her diagnosis of multiple myeloma. Eventually, she would need two stem
cell transplants, which she says Fox Chase Cancer Center was not equipped for at the time. She flew out to Little Rock, which she says was then the “multiple myeloma capital of the world,” to receive transplants at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. She stopped working at Bristol Myers Squibb for a year. Thorndike flew out and received her transplants alone, since her sons were attending college at the time. To her surprise, she noticed many others were receiving stem cell transplants solo. “By coincidence I had friends there, interns for Bristol-Myers Squibb, who were pharmacy medical students,” she says. They helped with her transplants, and still keep in touch with her today. After the transplants, she went into remission and on disability, eventually retiring from Bristol-Myers Squibb. “I’ve been in and out of remission ever since,” she says. “I can’t count how many times.” Her doctor in Little Rock moved to Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, where she has been going ever since. Thorndike says the Leukemia Cup Regattas are fun and she’ll keep doing them for as long as she can. She says she has yet to lose ambition for her passions. Sometimes when she is in New York for treatment, she will try to see a play or a ballet. She also says she is in the process of writing her own opera and is on the hunt for a composer to collaborate with. “I have things on my list,” she says. “I want to become a famous author.” On the web: leukemiacup.org.

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.

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 | Hopewell Express17

HoVal grad making music with help of his alter ego By Julia Marnin Ethan Duer is a rising senior at Rider University. A.D. Wells is a rising musical star whose self-recorded album, The West Hollywood Broken Hearts Club, has already reached more than 800 streams on Spotify. They share in these accomplishments because they are the same person. Musically, the 21-year-old Duer goes by the name A.D. Wells. The Hopewell resident planned for his solo record to be his summer project, completing it in May and releasing it on June 4. “I was able to accomplish it fast because it was something I was doing on my own,” he says. The album recorded by his alter ego features eight tracks infused with mellow indie and alternative sounds such as “Crush” and “Sunset Boulevard.” Duer says he wrote the record in his college dorm room, completing the recording of it in his room at his Hopewell home. On the tracks that he considers “lounge rock,” Duer can be heard singing, playing bass, guitar, a keyboard, and
the keyboard’s drum machine, all of which he recorded separately and mixed together with Garage Band. His songs explore darker themes of the realities of life such as chasing down a dream and not being able to attain it as well as the concept of running from something. “I hope for listeners that they will find it relatable,” he says. The inspiration for The West Hollywood Broken Hearts Club came after Duer visited California for the first time in March. He stayed in West Hollywood, where he witnessed the glamor of Hollywood stardom side by side with the homelessness within it. “People chasing down something that they can’t find, paired with Hollywood, and paired with my own personal experiences of being 21; that’s where my creativity began,” he says. His stage name “A.D. Wells” comes from the first initial of his middle name, Alexander, and the first initial of his last name. He says he chose “Wells” because he liked how it sounded along with the initials. Duer discovered his love of

ley Central High School, Duer focused on athletics, running cross country and track. It wasn’t until his senior year of high school that he started writing music. “I was faced with this time where I was yearning for creativity and this sense of self expression.” Freshman year of college he ran track until stopping due to an injury. He created a duo band with his college friend Tom Long, called Sophomore, which he still is involved with. Duer, who is an only child, says dad John and mother Rhonda are extremely supportive of his music career. “Since they believe in me, it makes me believe in myself,” he says. At Rider, he is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in public relations. He says he will pursue a career in that field alongside pursuing success in the music industry. “I plan to keep on writing and hopefully keep getting listened to, along with having fun,” says Duer. He is currently working on a second album, which he hopes to complete by early next year. *Offer valid on NEW MONEY ONLY and for NEW CONSUMER ACCOUNTS ONLY.

Post 339’s Cleary puts lost high school season in the rearview By Rich Fisher In the spring of 2016, Hopewell Valley Central High School freshman Liam Cleary tore up Colonial Valley Conference pitching to the tune of a .357 batting average and the word throughout the county was “Can’t wait to see him when he’s a senior.” That talk didn’t subside after three seasons, when he emerged with a career average of .430 and had won ample awards and been on numerous All-This or All-That teams. Unfortunately, that senior year never came; on the baseball field, at least. It was Apr. 6 against Hamilton West. Cleary dug in at the plate when a pitch came up and in, and he went down. “Third game of the season, and I got hit in my temple,” he recalled. “It got like, half my helmet and half on my head. I was definitely stunned but I actually ran to first. I started seeing black lines as I ran.” The diagnosis was a concus-
sion — the fifth in his young life. Some came from sports, others came from off-the-field accidents. The initial diagnosis was day-to-day. Then it became week-to-week. Finally, with about a quarter of the season remaining, Cleary was told he wouldn’t wear a Bulldogs uniform again. “It was probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to watch, sitting through that season,” he said. “I wasn’t even allowed to sit in the dugout. So I hid out in the outfield for some of those games. But it was tough.” Nor was he allowed to face pitching, but... “I was trying keep up my hitting,” he said. “I just couldn’t stop. So I’ve been hitting for a long time before I came back.” The results have been apparent. After the agony of sitting on the sidelines, Cleary returned to play his first season of American Legion baseball with Hopewell Post 339, and he hasn’t missed a beat. With two games remain-
20Hopewell Express | August 2019
Liam Clear y missed almost his entire senior season at Hopewell Valley Central High School after suffering a concussion on April 6. (Photo by Rich Fisher.) ing in the regular season (and Hopewell nursing a one-game lead in first place), Cleary was hitting a robust .413 with seven
doubles and 17 RBI. Each figure was second on the team to Andy Blake. Aside from just the numbers themselves,
Cleary’s presence has had a ripple effect throughout the lineup. “He lost his senior year of high school, which was really a shame, but now he’s become a tremendous part of our team,” Post 339 manager Mike Coryell said. “He’s been swinging a good bat. He’s that buffer in the middle of the lineup and it just pushes everybody down one and all of a sudden our lineup goes from being solid at one through seven to one through eight or nine. We’ve got hitters up and down the lineup, there’s no pressure on any one person to get it done.” Hopewell leftfielder Cole Hare, who bats behind Cleary, said he could feel Liam’s pain at sitting out. “Absolutely,” he said. “I couldn’t imagine it.” Nor could he imagine Post 339 without him, as he call’s Cleary’s presence “Huge.” “It’s good to have another piece of the puzzle,” Hare continued. “Having him just adds to our capabilities of going to the
World Series. Him missing an entire season was absolutely tough. But he didn’t miss a beat. He came right back, and in our first game he got two hits. A kid like that, with the talent he has and the ability he has, it’s great he’s playing again. He’s one of the best hitters I’ve ever seen in my entire life. And I’m not just saying that because he’s one of my closest friends. I just wish him well. It was a tough situation, but he responded to it like no one else could.” Hopewell general manager Mike Olshin has nothing but respect for what Cleary has done. “It’s a great story,” Olshin said. “He had all that frustration, and now he’s come back and is playing with us for the first time. And the bigger the spot, the better he hits for us.” Coryell adds that he encourages his teammates to take good, healthy cuts. “He’s a big kid at heart, he just loves being here. He’s really melded well with the other guys,” he said.
It has been a return to good times for Cleary, who will embark on his college career at Mercer in the fall. “I feel back to normal,” he said. “I feel like I’m hitting as well as I hit before and I think I’ve been hitting pretty well.” Asked if he was squeamish when he first got back in the box, Cleary laughed and said, “Actually, no. I just don’t like when people are throwing at my head.” One thing is certain. After being forced to sit out the sport that Cleary calls “The biggest thing in my life,” he certainly appreciates it even more after it was taken away from him. “One hundred percent,” he said. “Every single day, every single pitch I’m just so glad to be back. And it’s nice playing legion (as opposed to showcase ball). You just play baseball and you’re not worrying about a bunch of scouts watching you hit. It’s just focusing, and you do your thing. It’s fun again.”
‘He’s one of the best hitters I’ve ever seen in my entire life,’ Hare says of Cleary. ‘[The concussion] was a tough situation, but he responded to it like no one else could.’

Wilson-Apple Funeral Home provides support in times of grief & healing
Listen to your favorite weekend talk shows, weekdays TOO! Wilson-Apple Funeral Home is on the Pennington Circle.
The loss of a loved one is one of the most painful parts of life. The feeling of emptiness and bewilderment can be overwhelming. But there is no need for anyone to experience this emotional time alone. Wilson-Apple Funeral Home offers dignified and affordable service to families of all faiths and supports them through the grieving process. Conveniently located Hopewell Township at 2560 Pennington Road (at the Pennington Circle), the experienced staff understand the confusion that accompanies a loss. Funeral director and manager R. Asher Wilson, Jr., a life-long Pennington resident, says: “We are committed to assisting families in dealing with the logistics of planning a service, memorial, burial or transfer while respecting feelings and wishes. We can accommodate any size or type of service, individually planned according to the family’s religious faith and specific wishes. But our personal service goes well beyond the funeral itself.” Asher Wilson points out: “We take pride in offering extensive pre- and post-funeral assistance. Planning your funeral arrangements in advance allows you to take your time in deciding how you’d like to be celebrated after you’re gone. It also gives invaluable peace of mind to your family members by removing the burden of making those personal decisions during such an emotionally difficult time.” Pre-planning ensures that individual wishes and desires are respected upon passing. Planning can be meaningful for the family, as well, and they may be included in the process. Critically, it takes a burden off family and friends. Preplanning can include pre-payment, but is not required. Funds will be set
aside and protected against inflation and unforeseen increases in cost. “Beyond these services, we at Wilson-Apple Funeral Home can assist with honoring the deceased uniquely,” Asher Wilson says. Personalization allows family and friends to feel connected to the services and can be an important part of the healing process. They can create one-of-a-kind video tributes combining family photographs with cinematic introductions, music, and professional effects to provide a meaningful keepsake after the ceremony is over. A Celebration Wall can share stories, photos, and videos of a loved one. Guests can leave text comments to share condolences, offer words of support and sympathy through video or audio messages, or leave a meaningful symbol when words aren’t enough. In addition, they are proud to offer traditional and full military honor funerals for our treasured veterans. Wilson-Apple Funeral Home goes beyond the first few days of grieving. They offer 365 days of grief & healing support with daily email messages of comfort and hope with advice, stories and other thoughts to help address the challenges ahead. Additionally, they have compiled a list of local businesses that offer products and services that can be helpful when making arrangements. And they have practical information on how to discuss death with children and teens, as well as how to navigate Social Security. Five licensed funeral directors are on staff at Wilson-Apple, ready to be of service. Call 609-737-1498 with any inquiries or to arrange a meeting. They would be honored to discuss their services in further detail, and happy to assist you in any way. Web: wilsonapple.com.

It’s August and a great opportunity for that awesome road trip! When I first learned to drive, my friends and I would speed down the highways seizing that first taste of freedom. There was new wave music and laughter, and there was the need to constantly clean splattering insects off the windshield. There were big bugs, little bugs, some that crashed white, and some that splatted blood. The bug morgue, as we called it, was pretty gross, and not something I thought we would ever reminisce about and still here I am. Aside from annoying mosquitoes or flies, bugs weren’t something we often thought about. We took for granted the fireflies that marked our arrival after sunset, and the grasshoppers and butterflies that shared our picnic meadows. Yet today, my children’s experience is far different. The honeybees that we disregarded in their abundance now make headlines due to their scarcity. Butterfly populations are disappearing. What used to be a given is becoming a crisis. It turns out the insects that some ignored or believed to be a nuisance are necessary as part of a balanced ecosystem. The more diverse an ecosystem is, the more services (air, water, food, benign weather systems, carbon dioxide sequestration, garbage recycling etc.) it will provide for us. As an important biodiversity contributor, insects help nourish us physically, mentally and spiritually. They do everything from feeding all earth’s creatures, to cleaning up waste, to generating billions of dollars for the U.S. economy alone. Honeybees, essential for the pollination of flowers, fruits and vegetables, support about $20 billion worth of crop production in the U.S. annually. One of the best ways to bring back helpful insects is to grow native plants. Your landscape will be more interesting and natural habitat will thank you by showing up. For example, monarch butterflies require milkweed (Asclepias) to survive. Native plants will also attract songbirds. Throughout the country, planting efforts are underway, and FoHVOS Community Conservation partners including residents, businesses, school districts, and nonprofits throughout Hopewell Valley have been very successful in implementing native plant res-
toration projects. While most meadows take years to establish, there is still some immediate gratification as the first flowers take bloom. A visit to the Community Conservation area on the fohvos.org website shares scores of local native plant projects on public and private lands. The most recently dedicated garden is at Capital Health Medical Center. Each year the Capital Health Auxiliary has a holiday fundraiser featuring an a cappella concert by the Hopewell Chambers choir, an annual holiday ornament and candle lighting dedicated to family and friends. This year they added a wildflower tribute. Modeled after the FoHVOS tribute package. Each donor receives a framed certificate commemorating that a tree or wildflowers will be planted in honor of their loved one. In the Capital Health tribute, wildflowers were planned for their CHAI Healing garden. The CHAI garden is hidden in a remote area near the second-floor infusion area. Many patients receive cancer therapies nearby and the garden features a bell rung to celebrate the final chemo treatment. With the funds raised, we added bluestone steps leading to the bell, purple lovegrass, and a butterfly milkweed plant for every person honored in tribute. Chai is the Hebrew word for “life,” which makes the new monarch garden especially fitting. The Chai garden was already a tranquil paradise, but the addition of the Monarch Memorial, featuring milkweed to attract butterflies, adds beautiful color, movement, and life for years to follow. On July 16, Capital Health dedicated the Monarch Memorial Garden in a beautiful ceremony, replete with music, speeches, and refreshments. You can plant your own monarch garden (with or without the fanfare of a dedication) and you will be rewarded with the arrival and celebration of life. Join your friends and neighbors. No effort is too small. Convert a small patch of your lawn to native wildflowers. It’s an easy way for you to promote to a greener planet, attract some good insects, and contribute to happier habitat. Lisa Wolff is executive director of Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space.

SCHORE TO PLEASE Despite it being the chief industry of Hopewell, I have always avoided yard sales, considering them to be a place where people try to sell garbage rather than toss it. In other words, it’s an attempt to perform the biblical-level miracle of turning trash into cash. I had no intention of violating my anti-yard sale code until I found out that Hopewell Borough holds an annual townwide yard sale each June, and I was in possession of a surfeit of stuff. One amiable neighbor provided the following wisdom: Some people have yard sales to get rid of stuff, some people to make money. I opted for the first category. Having no prior yard sale experience, I found setting up to be total improvisation. I trotted out three pairs of sawhorses, boards and two bridge tables. Later, I observed cannier townsfolk who had set up tarps as shade for potential patrons. Early Saturday, the buyers arrived. Effortlessly, I sold two lawn chairs and two propane tanks. I sold an old fedora claiming that it had once been owned by Indiana Jones. A man from Guatemala bought a large, never-flown American flag. I sold costume jewelry, a bottle opener, four Garfield books, a tennis racquet, a magnifying glass, a plastic owl with a revolving head, and a crumbling papier maché goose. Not a single Beanie Baby sold. One woman wanted to buy a framed needle point and a brand new wetsuit with the pricey price tag still attached, both for $5. I insisted on $5 for each. She walked away with neither. “I’d rather donate the items to Goodwill than feed such grasping behavior,” I grumbled to myself. In the 1970s, I did pottery. Now, with no room for the resulting cups, tureens and cookie jars, I set them out. To my surprise, people actually admired and bought a few pieces. Suddenly, I was no longer an amateur thrower of clay but a professional artist with an appreciative clientele. Most popular were pieces of kitsch that friends had passed on to me in hopes of eliminating ugliness from their home. Attracting greatest interest was a ceramic moose lying on its back, hoofs up, waiting to support a liquor bottle. “How much?” multitudes asked. It sold for $5. In an incredibly clever sales ploy, I put up a “Geeks Only” sign in one corner of my driveway hoping to sell old com-
puter keyboards, speakers, telephones and miles of coaxial cable. The only things that sold were two pairs of earbuds at fifty cents each. So much for my salesmanship. It turned out that kids love yard sales. Where else could they buy a treasure to match their allowance? One entrepreneurial 10-year-old wanted to trade an old flashlight for a cell phone case. I’d have given him the item except his bargaining was so gifted and aggressive that I got caught up in the back and forth. “No, I don’t want your broken flashlight,” I told him. VHS tapes and a working VCR tempted no one. But I did get rid of a venerable (probably scratched) Peter, Paul and Mary album. No one wanted other sixties classics like Vaughn Meader’s First Family or Allan Sherman’s My Son the Folksinger. Strangely, browsers kept on wanting to buy not-for-sale items in my garage like bicycles, watering cans and flowerpots. When minimally profitable Saturday ended, I dragged everything inside only to set up again Sunday for a sparser crowd and fewer sales. Like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, at the end of the yard sales, Hopewell Borough allows for whatever hasn’t sold to be picked up by a garbage truck. They will take anything that isn’t radioactive or alive. But late Sunday, vulturine junk dealers arrived and began picking at the piles of refuse. One guy began clipping the cord from a discarded electric coffee pot. He said that if he were able to fill his garage with enough metal, he could make a little money selling to scrap dealers. I offered him my vast coils of wire. He was so grateful that he gave me a T-shirt advertising his day job as a purveyor of ancient phonographs, the kind with a horn that dogs talk into. I gladly added his gift to my stack of 44,000 T-shirts. In retrospect, I realize how ill-suited I am to preside over a yard sale. I tended to take the process personally. Even though I feigned indifference, I was offended by people who looked but didn’t buy, and that comprised the majority of folks who toured my driveway and who are now added to the hordes of people I resent. Ultimately, I sold a miserable 46 items netting just under $3.97. If I deduct my own labor costs for planning, set-up and tear-down, I lost over $650. That’s capitalism in action.
