Rider calls off choir college sale
Stirring the Celtic soul Lawrence musician helps Na’Bodach mix old and new By susan Van DonGen The members of Celtic rock band Na’Bodach chose their name when the group was formed more than 20 years ago, and they were a bit younger and perhaps more cheerful. Roughly translated from broad Scottish, the moniker means “not a bunch grumpy old men.” Two decades later, however, there’s some question to that name. “The irony rises with every passing year,” says guitarist and vocalist Glenn Owens. The band will perform at the Hopewell Park Gazebo Aug. 16 at 7 p.m. Na’Bodach draws not only from the acoustic Celtic tradition but, since it is an electric ensemble, blends these songs with contemporary rhythms, harmonies, and styles that range from progressive rock to jazz to avant-garde to straightforward rock. The band—which also insists on being interviewed as an ensemble—was never interested in reproducing the music in the manner of a traditional setting. They say they’re not mummifying this music in the past, relegating it to a sonic museum piece. “That’s one of the things I love about this band—it’s our vision of what we’re going to do,” says fiddler, mandolinist, and vocalist Wolf Hul, a Trenton native now living in Lawrenceville.

Trineice Robinson-Martin is the director of Princeton University’s Jazz Vocal Collective and has combined her passion for jazz with her love of gospel.
‘Dr. Trineice’ a jazz scene stalwart By susan Van DonGen You can easily catch the spirit of a gospel performance, but jazz can be just as blissful, especially if the performer is in the “zone,” channeling something indefinable through their instrument. Trineice Robinson-Martin, teacher, performer, author, scholar, and jazz voice instructor/lecturer at Princeton University, has such a quality to her voice, something that turns on a certain light of the soul. Director of Princeton’s Jazz Vocal Collective ensemble, Princeton University’s elite jazz student ensemble that features solo voice, Robinson-Martin has been singing and doing
ministry in the church all her life. However, she hesitates to classify herself as strictly gospel. “I’m at the point now in my life when I can say ‘I’m a jazz/ gospel singer,’” she says, adding that she can minister to the hearts and minds of folks in many different ways, even through jazz. “I always want to be a light for people and show them how to find the light in themselves,” Robinson-Martin says. Also known as “Dr. Trineice,” Robinson-Martin led the Jazz Vocal Collective in the group’s spring concert celebrating the music and life of Nat King Cole in honor of the singer’s centennial in April.
Dedications are a common Jazz Vocal Collective theme, said Robinson-Martin. Last year, the group celebrated Ella Fitzgerald, and next year, it will honor Charlie Parker. “I like legacy, am very particular about it, always thinking about the promotion and preservation of jazz,” says Robinson-Martin, who is also the executive director of the African American Jazz Caucus—the charitable organization with the mission to protect, preserve, and perpetuate the rich cultural heritage of jazz. Its mailing address is in Trenton. Robinson-Martin’s students are enjoying this music, but also learning about the cultural conSee JAZZ, Page 8

Rider University has announced that it and a Chinese company have abandoned a plan to sell Westminster Choir College and its Princeton campus to the for-profit company. Kaiwen Education Technology also announced that its board voted unanimously on June 28 to cancel the deal, which would have been an unprecedented transfer of a nonprofit higher education institution to a foreign for-profit company. The failure of the deal means that Rider is returning to an option it explored in 2016 — only to be met with resistance from students and faculty: moving Westminster Choir College to Rider’s main campus in Lawrence. Around the same time, Rider, trying to rein in costs amid budget shortfalls, also floated the controversial prospect of selling the Westminster campus. “As an alternative, Rider’s Board approved a plan that would integrate Westminster Choir College into the university’s existing Lawrenceville campus beginning in September, 2020. Rider will continue to operate Westminster Choir College, the Westminster Conservatory, and the Westminster Continuing Education programs in Princeton during the upcoming 2019-’20 academic year,” Rider stated in a press release.

LHS student visits ACLU summit
Nearly 1,000 students from every state in the country had the opportunity to receive first-hand experience from lawyers, lobbyists, community activists, and other experts dedicated to defending these constitutional rights. From July 20-26, participating students engaged with lawyers and political activists to build expertise and knowledge in advocacy, including issues such as criminal justice reform, voting rights, and religious freedom, participate in debates, and develop successful media and social networking strategies, all while observing policy development on Capitol Hill. The week ended with a lobby day on July 25 where students participated in meetings with elected officials and congressional staff on Capitol Hill to bring attention to the cruel and inhumane conditions immigrant families are held in at the border, as well as the threat posed by law enforcement officers overreaching by using facial recognition technology. The day concluded with a large rally at the Capitol.
Library introduces Launchpads
On Thursday, July 11, the Lawrence Library began offering a new way of learning with Playaway Launchpads. Launchpads are tablets that come preloaded with learning apps and games for kids of all ages. They are durable, simple to use, and do not require an Internet connection—a good item to travel with this summer. The library has two types of Launchpads available: Circulating and InHouse. “Circulating” Launchpads may be checked out for one week and renewed up to four times. An “In-House” Launchpad is meant to be used only in the library and has
a loan period of one hour. It can be renewed once. These Launchpads must be returned the day you borrow them. If taken out of the library or not returned on the day of use, there will be a 50 cents a day overdue fine until returned. There is a checkout limit of three Launchpads per card user. To check out a Launchpad, stop by the circulation desk at the library, located at 2751 Brunswick Pike. For more information about the library’s offerings, call (609) 883-8294 or visit mcl.org.

Celtic rock band Na’Bodach—Wolf Hul (left), Buddy Osthaus, Mark Stewart, Randy Decker, Casey Jones and Glenn Owens—celebrate the genre’s tradition while also welcoming its evolution. CELTIC continued from Page 1 The change-ups in instrumentation and even electrification might puzzle sticklers for tradition, but the band believes it is staying true to the soul of the Celtic sound. Besides, the music has been evolving since its very inception. Mark Stewart, who sings and plays bouzouki (and some fiddle), reflects that long ago in Ireland, instruments like the fiddle and guitar were imported, brought by traders or travelers from Europe. “The Celtic tradition is a powerful, living thing, handed down through generations, and it’s strong enough to absorb these (instruments) while still remaining faithful,” says Stewart, who grew up in East Windsor. “I think if Irish and Scottish players had electric guitars they would have played them, along with the pipes.” In addition to Owens, Stewart, and Hul, Na’Bodach is rounded out with bassist Bayard “Buddy” Osthaus of Pineville, Pennsylvania, (who also plays bodhran, fifes and whistles); Sellersville, Pennsylvania, resident Randy Decker on drums and percussion; and Casey Jones, a lifelong piper originally from Trenton, now residing in Upper Black Eddy, Pennsylvania. Jones, who sings and plays electric pipes, fifes, and whistles, is in fact one of the founding members of Na’Bodach. As a retired member of the United States Air Force, he is also a past member of the USAF pipe band. In his mid-70s, Jones is the senior member of the group, and Stewart, in his mid-50s, is the youngest. Jones, along with Trenton sign maker and arts supporter George Zienowicz and the late Andy Redmond, decided to get together and explore the music of the Celtic countries sometime in the late 1990s. They specifically wanted to focus on the songs known by Irish and Scottish soldiers, as well as the Celtic music that evolved
6Lawrence Gazette | August 2019
in the United States. Osthaus and Owens joined later, part of the various permutations of Na’Bodach between the time of its formation and now. “We all met somehow in the late 1970s, playing in cover bands around Trenton, including at City Gardens, and it was Andy (Redmond) who had this Celtic background, just Irish through and through,” Owens says. “He’d grown up with regimental music, like bagpipe bands, and fife and drum bands, but decided to play guitar and form this band in the late 1990s.” “It’s his vision — taking very old songs and putting a twist on them, updating them, and making the music fresh for a modern audience,” Owens says. When the guys start to talk about who came and went, and who was replaced by whom in Na’Bodach, the information gets almost as complicated as the “begats” of the Old Testament. What Owens calls their “classic lineup” of the early 2000s recorded a couple of CDs, titled “Knickers Down, Bottoms Up,” and “Boys of the Morning.” The band rehearses every week if possible, in Lambertville mostly, but also in Ottsville, Pennsylvania, to accommodate the band members from northeastern Pennsylvania. “We’re always learning new things, rearranging material — Na’Bodach is a living thing,” Hul says. The group recently played at the Mercer County Cultural Festival, the Hoboken Irish Festival (held, ironically enough, at Sinatra Park), the Ship Inn in Milford, as well as the KiltFest in Feaster ville, Pennsylvania, and at the Dubliner on the Delaware in New Hope — Na’Bodach’s home away from home. They have graced larger stages such as the Sellersville Theater, but also perform frequently at many smaller
venues, like libraries and private parties. “We blanket the Bucks County and Hunterdon County areas, but we’d love to spread out,” Hul says. Except for Jones, who is retired but still does some freelance carpentry, the members of Na’Bodach all have day jobs: Stewart is a software developer for a banking software firm; Osthaus is an engineer with an electronic testing agency; Decker does graphic design; Owens is manager of transport at NFI trucking; and Hul is a freelance designer and project manager for his own WINC Design Studio. The men all have different backgrounds and influences, but in hearing their stories, music has played a huge role in all their lives since childhood. Stewart’s father was an electrical engineer who loved music. His mom is Mary Elizabeth Stewart who is a founding member of the Princeton-based Medieval and Renaissance music group, the Engelchor Consort. Both parents as well as Stewart himself sang in their church choir for years. “They played Medieval and Renaissance music while I was growing up, so I heard it since childhood,” he says. “My parents also listened to a lot of folk music, like Pete Seeger and the Kingston Trio, so I got my love of that from them. When I started playing American folk music, it took me back to the ver y roots of the British and Irish traditions.” Stewart admits it is a little unexpected to be employing a bouzouki in a Celtic band since the instrument’s roots are in Greece. “Irish musicians brought the bouzouki back to the traditional bands, and it’s became part of the music in Ireland, Scotland, and farther afield,” he says. “I first saw one with the Tannahill Weavers, a Scottish band.” He says that he started on guitar in grade school and later added bass, mandolin, bouzouki, and fiddle. Stewart jokes that he has also been singing all his life, “annoying friends by inventing harmonies to songs on the radio.” The Lambertville resident studied at Princeton University, graduating in 1990 with a bachelor’s degree in religion. His wife, Annie, is a librarian and medical editor, and the couple has a daughter. Growing up in Croydon, Pennsylvania, and currently living in Morrisville, Owens played violin as a child, then guitar as a teen. He notes that his parents loved classical and folk music, but also the sounds of the Big Bands. In fact, he believes he is named after legendary bandleader Glenn Miller. “My father worked for PGW (Philadelphia Gas Works), and mom stayed home to raise us, but there was always so much to listen to around the house,” Owens says. “My brother was 10 years older than me and a very accomplished musician. From him, I heard the Bea-
tles, the Kinks, all that British Invasion music of the 1960s.” “I’ve always loved so many different forms of music, and influence-wise I’m all over the map, from Sly and the Family Stone to the great new funk bands coming out of Brooklyn,” he adds. “This (love of various styles) has helped me as a player, since I like to play all different genres,” Owens says. “As far as Na’Bodach, I came out of the rock and funk worlds and had never played Celtic music, but I just fell in love with it and never left. That’s how I ended up in this band.” Owens has been married to his wife, Michele, since 1974. “Currently she’s not working, but tending to and putting up with me and our cats seems to be enough for her,” he says. Hul, who started playing violin at age six, comes from a Ukrainian-American family, and both parents worked in Trenton’s now-closed factories, particularly in rubber production. He says the older family members weren’t particularly musical, but he and his siblings found themselves playing instruments. “The boys played violin and the girls played piano, that’s how it seemed to work out,” he says. Hul played violin seriously as a youth, studying classical and Broadway show music. He says he performed with a Ukrainian orchestra and was always in the pit band for school musicals, but sometime in high school decided violin “wasn’t cool anymore.” “I stopped for a long time, but about 12 years ago I discovered Celtic music and got really involved very quickly,” he says, noting that his introduction to the sounds of the British Isles came through the eminent folk rock group Fairport Convention as well as prog rockers Jethro Tull. He graduated from Rider University with a fine arts degree in 1981, and then earned an MFA in theater design from the Mason Gross School of the Arts in 1988. Hul’s wife, Debbie, is a guidance counselor at Hunterdon Central High School; the couple has been married for almost 37 years. In addition to his graphic design work and musical activities, Hul hosts radio shows on WDVR 89.7 FM in Sergeantsville: Celtic Sunday Brunch and Mainly Acoustic on Friday nights.

Hul says he and the other band members don’t write originals for Na’Bodach but prefer re-writing and arranging traditional Celtic tunes, breathing new life into older material and then electrifying it. “Yes, some purists will be put out, but most people who love Irish and Scottish music react positively,” he says. “There’s something about the integrity of the music,” Hul adds. “When we play out we get new fans who didn’t even know they liked Irish music. In the end it’s got this special kind of energy, and people really respond.” More information on Na’Bodach: nabodach.net.

Lawrence resident Trineice Robinson-Martin has perfected her blend of jazz and gospel vocal training throughout her long career. JAZZ continued from Page 1 text of Nat King Cole’s recording career, especially in the 1950s and ’60s when the music industry was still, essentially, divided by race. “I like to bring in the historical context and point out that Nat King Cole was so very successful on the pop charts, and a crooner at the same time as Frank Sinatra,” she says. In the 1950s Cole even had a TV show on the NBC network, the first TV variety show hosted by an African-American. Robinson-Martin says the beauty of preparing a concert of works by someone like Cole or Fitzgerald is exposing the students to how such giants approached their music from the perspective of the African-American folk tradition. “The members of the JVC — and many are also private students of mine, so I spend a lot of time with them outside of class — are learning that a song is more about the conversation than the melody,” she says, noting how she has her charges listen to how Cole or Fitzgerald articulates a phrase, emphasizing a particular word or even just a syllable. “They use these musical models to interpret their own expression, and this is how they’re able to build their repertoire,” she says. The Jazz Vocal Collective was founded about a decade ago by Anthony D.J. Branker, former head of the jazz studies program at Princeton, with the goal to engage the history of jazz as well as its modern forms and approaches. Robinson-Martin has been the group’s director since 2013. She says she and Branker both attended Columbia Teacher’s College at the same time and got to know each other from taking various classes
together. “He was talking about this new ensemble, saying ‘I’m just starting to bring singers in and I want to bring you in as a coach,’” Robinson-Martin says. “I came in maybe once a year, and we would team teach together, which we did until he was no longer at the university. The JVC has certainly evolved, but the original concept was Anthony Branker’s.” Robinson-Martin previously taught in this area at Rider University, Mercer County Community College, and the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. She also teaches privately. Internationally recognized as one of the leading pedagogues in gospel and soul voice training, Robinson-Martin has dedicated her career to performing and developing resources for teaching jazz, gospel/Christian, R&B, rock, country, and pop singing styles in an applied/private voice lesson setting. Based on her graduate research, she created her trademarked “Soul Ingredients,” a teaching methodology for developing a singer’s musical style/interpretation in African-American folk-based music styles. She has traveled nationally and internationally to teach and lecture on the subject. This methodology shows students how to take their personal experiences, musical influences, and models, and execute the different components in a manner that is personal to the performer’s own personal expression. Basically, it’s the performer telling their story, holding a “conversation” with the audience through the music. “It’s not just what you say, but how you say it, through the phrasing,” Robinson-Martin says. “This is very different from classical music, where you sing what’s written on the page.” Robinson-Martin and husband Lind-
say Martin, a senior manager with Johnson & Johnson Supply Chain, have lived in Lawrence Township for 10 years. The couple has a daughter, Laura-Simone, 13, and son, Lindsay Martin Jr., 9. Both young people are talented in sports and especially music, and take lessons at Music and Arts in the Mercer Mall. (Proud mom adds that Laura-Simone is a member of the Youth Orchestra of Central Jersey and was chosen be first chair double bass in both the Central N.J. Regional Intermediate Orchestra and N.J. State Intermediate Orchestra.) By the way, if you want to catch Dr. Trineice sing, mark your calendars for Thursday, June 20, when she will return to the Hopewell Valley Bistro. For about a year now, Jazz on Broad has presented live jazz every Thursday night for an all-ages audience, as well as a chance for area musicians to sit in. The concerts are the brainchild of pianist Phil Orr, who is Robinson-Martin’s go-to accompanist. “As soon as I learned about Jazz on Broad, I made sure I was a part of it,” she says. “I especially love it because I can bring my kids.” In fact, when Robinson-Martin performed a Valentine’s Day show at the Bistro, daughter Laura-Simone sat in with her on bass, and she believes son Lindsay Jr. will be joining her on guitar in the future. Born and raised in Oakland, California, Robinson-Martin had a musical childhood centered around the church and the family choir. “My grandfather, Bishop John the Baptist Robinson, was pastor and district bishop for Triumph the Church and Kingdom of God in Christ; his father was also a pastor,” she says. “My father currently pastors the church my uncle started, and others (in the family) are deacons. As a result my extended family is very much embedded in ministry, and particularly singing together.” In addition to being a pastor Robin-
son-Martin’s father is a correctional sergeant at San Quentin State Prison and has worked at the famed penitentiary for some 35 years. Her mother is retired from a long career with the U.S. Postal Service, where she had been a management executive responsible for one of four information technology/software development centers for U.S.P.S. “Singing in church was just a part of life, and I never thought of it as ‘a thing’ until I was grown,” Robinson-Martin says. “I started playing congas as part of an African dance troupe when I was in elementary school, and I also played piano. It was my maternal grandfather who introduced me to jazz.” As early as high school Robinson-Martin was singing as part of a jazz trio — she was already playing piano with the group. She started college at San Jose State University focused on chemical engineering but changed her major after a doing a summer internship at Corning Inc. in New York. “Employees there heard me sing and began to challenge my decision to major in engineering instead of music,” she says, noting that song stylist Nancy Wilson is probably her main influence among many other fine vocalists. Robinson-Martin graduated from San Jose State with a bachelor of arts in improvised music studies in 2002. She then went to Indiana University-Bloomington to earn her master’s degree in jazz studies (2004), and subsequently attended Teacher’s College at Columbia University, earning a master’s degree (2008), then a doctorate of education in music education (2010). The woman with such deep roots in her faith has also become a big part of a small congregation that meets in a historic location in Trenton.

Church, at 15 South Broad Street, and she is also the creative arts director of the church’s music ministry. “I took the job at Turning Point because it was a small church, and I loved the people, so much so that I joined with my family,” Robinson-Martin says. “Now it’s a part of my life. The pastor (Rupert A. Hall, Jr.) just loves music.” “It aligned with who I was and where I was,” she adds. “That’s how I ended up there, and there I remain.” The ver y busy Robinson-Martin is usually juggling several projects at once, and one effort has just been wrapped up: her first solo recording, “My Shining Hour,” to be released later this spring. The 14-song album includes Duke Ellington’s “Come Sunday,” Cole’s mysterious “Nature Boy,” a reinterpretation of Mar vin Gaye’s “What’s Going On,” and many more pieces that are personally meaningful to her. “I’m always helping other people with their (music and recordings) so this is my chance; that’s why the project is titled ‘My Shining Hour,’” she says. “The songs represent part of my journey or part of the ministering I do.” “I still have the sensitivity and responsibility to inspire people to be their best selves and awaken their senses in the context of life and love,” she continues. “You don’t have to do this in church. You can use jazz to do this as well. That’s where I am now as an artist and a human being.” Trineice Robinson-Martin on the web: drtrineice.com.

felt like something was off.” Lauren said they still couldn’t see anything when they went outside. It wasn’t until Darren walked onto the bridge that he realized the gravity of the situation. “I could see the guard rail was smashed, and as I got closer to the water, I saw the car beneath the bridge,”
10-feet up and pretty dark. The instincts I got from SCUBA diving might have helped me.” Darren figures adrenaline also helped him pull open the driver’s side door. He reached inside, grabed Oydanich by the arm and pulled him out and up. “It was easier than I expected,” Dar-
ren said. “Even after the car pressurizes, it takes time to fully open the door. The only thing I can figure is the car had filled enough to pressurize so it just needed a good tug.” The Lawrence Township Police Department responded to the scene. When they arrived, Darren and Oydanich were on their way out of the canal. Lawrence Police Lt. Joseph Lech said that its often very difficult to get out of a submerged vehicle due to the water pressure pushing on the door. “Then panic sets in on people in the vehicle. It’s very, very difficult.” “I feel lucky we didn’t take longer,” Darren said. “It was a very small window to save him.” Darren’s actions earned him a nomination from the Lawrence Police for its annual Citizen Lifesaving Award. Last year, Lawrence awarded three people the award, and its next ceremony will be in May. “What Mr. Geist did was very heroic,” Lt. Lech said. “He basically put his own life at risk by jumping into the canal, which was very high because of the heavy rains.” The Lawrenceville Fire Company and Trenton Heavy Rescue Fire Company also answered the 911 call. A heavy duty tow company removed Oydanich’s car from the canal after his rescue. Lauren said she is floored by Darren’s bravery, though he already had quite a track record as a solid citizen. He currently works as an attorney at Colgate-Palmolive in anti-corruption and antibribery, and his first job was at UNICEF. The 36-year-old Princeton University graduate earned the Spirit of Princeton Award after starting a human rights group for genocide prevention. In law school at New York University, he received its Vanderbilt Medal for starting a similar organization that worked to end human trafficking. “I did know he was an incredible person, that’s why I married him,” Lauren said. “This is not a situation you ever anticipate being in. So many people wonder, ‘What would I do in a situation like that?’ Darren doesn’t have to wonder. He knows now. There’s something comforting in that you’d make the right choice. I was very impressed. He just took it all in stride.” Darren said he had trouble sleeping in the days that followed, before exhaustion finally caught up with him. He’s been the talk of friends, family and coworkers after word got out about his daring rescue and award nomination. “It’s like a whirlwind,” he said. “It’s humbling to be nominated for anything. You hope you’re not put in that situation and you hope you live up to that. I’m glad I did. People are calling you a hero, but I still don’t think of myself that way. I’m glad I could make my wife and family proud.” Oydanich revisited the Geist family four days after the accident to thank them again. “It’s one of those things where it’s moving, it’s awkward, you don’t know what to say,” Darren said. “You’re both in this incredibly intense experience together. “We were the only people down in that dark hole. I think we were both going
through the accident in our head. He was grateful to be alive. He didn’t know the area. It’s pretty much pitch black. He didn’t know if there were any houses nearby, if anyone would be up at that hour, and he was under a bridge.” The Geists were happy to be able to help. They are hoping that life returns to a little more normalcy for all who were involved. “It’s one of those weird things,” Darren said. “After you save his life, you’re connected to him. You hope everything that comes from this is good. Hopefully they fix the roads, hopefully he’ll do good things with his life, and I’ll do good things with mine, and we can learn the best possible lesson from this experience.” *** When the Geists moved into their home three years ago, they had no idea that the stretch of road with a 90-degree turn and one small streetlight was so perilous. They’ve since heard plenty of fender benders from cars that don’t negotiate the turn, which they say is poorly marked compared to other nearby canal crossings. “Later on, we realized that people have a tendency to speed,” Darren said. “There’s not enough fines, or speed bumps or lights, and people don’t realize how sharp that turn is. As a result, people are flying around that corner. We hear them get in accidents. I don’t think we’ve ever heard an accident like that, though.” Lauren said that the spot the accident took place is “a strange intersection of West Windsor, Lawrence and Princeton townships, plus the bridge is owned by the state, and Quakerbridge Road is managed by the county. The situation makes it extremely difficult to get anyone to take action to increase safety along the stretch of road.” For example, the spot where the car went into the canal is in Lawrence Township, but the road Oydanich drove off of in is Princeton. In the wake of the accident, the Geists have increased their efforts to have the road, which changes at the bridge from Quakerbridge Road to Quaker Road, better marked. “This is a motivator for us and hopefully for the towns to do something,” Darren said. “We love being on the canal with the kids. We love being outdoors.” Lauren said they have assurances that from officials that there are plans to improve the area. “It’s a hard area because it’s so many townships combined,” she said. “It seems like collaboration between townships would be needed to get it done. I’d love for a couple speed bumps and the speed limit to be pushed down. I’d love a cross walk there for pedestrians and runners. Maybe some more lights on it.” Exactly two weeks after Oydanich’s accident, the Geists heard the sounds of another accident. They again went out to see if they could help. They didn’t want to ask, “what if.” Fortunately the situation wasn’t as dire as the one they faced on June 19. “There were so many little choices we made that night that if we hadn’t made he wouldn’t have survived,” Lauren said.

RIDER continued from Page 1 Rider and Westminster have been linked since 1992, when Rider agreed to operate the financially struggling Westminster Choir College. But by 2017 Rider wanted out of the merger, saying the institution had been consistently losing money. Rider began a search for buyers, but found no other institutions of higher learning willing to take over Westminster. Instead, in the fall of 2017, it struck a preliminary deal with a Chinese company to buy the school for $40 million plus a promise to invest $16 million in educational programs and infrastructure. Kaiwen, which operated two forprofit secondary schools in Beijing, formed a subsidiary nonprofit group that would operate Westminster. As part of the deal, Kaiwen promised to operate Westminster for 10 years and continue its academic programs for the next five years. The agreement, however, was controversial and entangled in legal disputes from the start. Two lawsuits, one by the Princeton Theological Seminary and another by a group of Westminster alumni and donors, sought to block the sale. The sale also met with complications from regulators. The New Jersey Attorney General’s office, which had the power to either approve or block the sale, raised questions about aspects of the bargain. In a June 20 letter to Judge Paul Innes of New Jersey Superior Court, assistant attorney general Jean Reilly said the buyer was not providing basic information about the transaction that they had requested. According to Reilly’s letter, the AG’s office could not even obtain the names in Chinese characters or biographical details of the trustees of the nonprofit group, despite repeated attempts. “While the buyer said who the trustees are not (e.g., stating that trustee Lingfen Wu did not hold any position at Kaiwen Education), the buyer did not provide any affirmative information regarding who the trustees are,” Reilly wrote. What answers the buyer did provide were inconsistent with previous answers, Reilly wrote. The buyer also failed to provide financial statements, conflict of interest forms, and information about accounting standards. In March the attorney general’s office had raised questions about what would happen to Westminster’s $21 million trust fund, which was to be turned over to Kaiwen as part of the deal. The office issued an opinion that Kaiwen would have to go to court if it wanted to use the fund for any purpose other than education at Westminster, as the original donors had intended. Another point of controversy was a part of the contract that allowed Kaiwen to shut down Westminster if it could no longer feasibly operate it as a college. In a press release Rider president Gregory Dell’Omo did not state which if any of these factors led to the deal being called off. “Given the enormous complexity of the transaction, it became increasingly clear that partnering with an outside

A Rider spokesperson declined to answer questions from U.S. 1 about what would be done with the Westminster campus, and instead referred to the press release. Rider said the new campus consolidation plan was more extensive than the one explored in 2016. “The new plan envisions a fully integrated campus and robust Westminster College of the Arts that goes beyond the consolidation option proposed by the special committee in 2016. The Westminster College of the Arts encompasses Westminster Choir College in Princeton and the School of Fine and Performing Arts in Lawrence ville, as well as the Westminster Conservatory, which will continue to operate in multiple locations. The plan also proposes that Rider/Westminster explore the possibility of retaining a footprint on the Princeton campus — dedicated in part to the activities of the conservatory, with possible academic and artistic opportunities for students.” The union that represents Rider and Westminster faculty, the AAUP Rider chapter, welcomed the news that Kaiwen had backed out, but criticized the decision to move Westminster to Rider’s campus. “We are very concerned that given that the Lawrenceville campus lacks the specialized facilities that the Westminster programs require, such a move may entail the effective destruction of those programs. We therefore urge President Dell’Omo and the board of trustees to work with the AAUP and all other stakeholders to develop a plan that will insure the long-term survival of Westminster Choir College as the world class music school that it presently is,” the union wrote in a press release. Although the sale of the college is off the table, Rider announced that it and Kaiwen will work together over the next three years on “academic and artistic initiatives.” Westminster Choir College of Rider University, 101 Walnut Lane, Princeton 08540.

Local 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
Two young dogs were among the 52 rescued from a Trenton hoarder house in June. 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 ring-

ing—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 Services (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 over whelmed. James Mongru, the shelter’s maintenance manager, says going into the house get the dogs “was terrible. There were feces everywhere.” Many of the dogs needed immediate help. 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 medi-
cal 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.

The taps at Tindall Road Brewing Company in Bordentown.
By Joe eMansKi
jemanski@communitynews.org
Area craft beer enthusiasts have a new brewery in the area to try out. 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. Tindall Road joins Ewing-based River Horse and a number of other breweries in the local craft beer scene. Others include The Referend and Troon in Hopewell; 21 Locks in Morrisville; Vault in Yardley; and Triumph in Princeton. 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 Lawrence Gazette 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.
20Lawrence Gazette | August 2019
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. 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 thou ght 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. Recent beers on tap at Tindall Road were Steppanwolf’s American Wheat (6.3% alcohol by volume), Nut Brown Ale (5.3%), Citra Pale Ale (6%), Copper Feel Ale (6%), 2 Dopes in a Garage Coffee-Vanilla Stout (5.3%) and New England IPA (6.8%). Next on tap will be a mango IPA (6.7%), Dead Trojan Double IPA (6.9%) and Johnny Chimpo Banana Wheat (6.4%).

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 | Lawrence Gazette23

There tends to be some confusion at Lawrence Post 414 baseball games. When No. 13 is on the mound, or pinchrunning, or coming to the plate, the dugout is alive with chatter. “C’mon Frank! Let’s go Frankie! Get ‘em Frank!” A glance at the lineup card hanging on the wall, however, insists that Colin D’Angelo is sporting that unlucky jersey number. So who is this Frank character? Well, they are both one in the same and the story has become the stuff of legend as to how the name came about. Although it’s not too certain which legend is true. Several years ago, D’Angelo was at the home of one of his teammates and, well, here is the story according to Post 414 manager Jason Zegarski. “One of the kids’ dads couldn’t remember his name and called him Frank,” Zegarski said. “They just started calling him Frank and it stuck ever since. He’s always been Frank. I still call him Colin because I’ve known him forever but he’ll always be Frank to everyone else.” Ah, but did the father really forget his name? That is the question still unanswered. “He started joking around with us and was calling me Frank and it started catching on,” D’Angelo said. “I’m pretty sure he knew my name. . . but I’m not 100 percent certain.” What is 100 percent certain, is that D’Angelo has been a key contributor to Post 414 this season, with his arm, his bat and his legs. He played three years of varsity for Lawrence High School and is in his third year on legion. While his stats might not be league-leading, his versatility is a value to any team. “He’ll do anything you ask of him — pitch, third base, outfield, pinch run, he’ll do it,” Zegarski said. “For us he’s mostly a pitcher but he can hit anywhere we need him in the lineup. He’s not hit-

season. “I just have to go out there and pitch my game. Not listen to other people but just go throw my game. During high school there were just different people saying different stuff and I wasn’t really focused on myself.” During legion season, however, things have taken an upturn. D’Angelo debuted this season by throwing a onehitter against Hightstown in which the only hit was an infield version that shortstop Rob Buecker nearly made an incredible play on. “He’s always thrown well for us,” Zegarski said. “Last year he threw a great game against (Post) 31 for us, he had the game against Hightstown this year. And when we need him somewhere else, he’ll go there.” D’Angelo won his first two starts this season and also pitched well in relief, forging an ERA under 3.0 entering the regular season’s final week. “He likes to use the good three-pitch mix,” Zegarski said. “He’s got a nice fastball, a nice little off-speed and then he comes with the change-up. If you can command with your fastball and you have the good three-pitch mix, you’re gonna be a good pitcher in this league.” D’Angelo’s efforts had Lawrence closing in on a spot in the district playoffs as Post 414 was 13-9 and in fifth place with two regular-season games remaining (at least the top six got in). D’Angelo was being asked to step up even more after Lawrence lost its two top pitchers. Buecker and Ryan Castoral both had to report early to their respective colleges, leaving “Frankie” with an even greater role. “I like it,” he said. “It’s definitely different but you just gotta take it game by game and see where it goes.” “With those guys gone he’s become one of our top-end starters,” said Zegarski, who also ser ves as an assistant on the Cardinals varsity team.

you’re a pitcher tr ying to throw in March and April it’s tough. It’s cold, and you can’t really get a good grip on ever ything. But it heats up here in the summer and you can see what he’s got and we need it.” Zegarski and D’Angelo share a relationship dating back to early in the decade when D’Angelo would attend the Lawrence Recreation Department’s summer camp. He would go on to play Lawrence Little League, Babe Ruth and travel ball, but from the start he noticed something about Zegarski. “He was definitely a leader back then, I always looked up to him,” D’Angelo said. “I was in that camp for three years so I’ve known Zig for a long time. He’s just been that guy that’s been there for me. He’s really helped me out and we just have that bond.” And while D’Angelo was admiring Zegarski’s presence, the coach was impressed with the player’s talent. “At seven, eight years old it was the same thing with him, he was full of energy,” Zegarski said. “You knew he was an athlete, just from the games we played and the way you’d see him out there running around.” Zegarski is unsure of his baseball future. He will attend Rowan and major in law enforcement, but says it’s “Up in the air” whether or not he will play baseball.” His plans are to be a police officer as he follows in the footsteps of his father—another first responder. “My dad was a fire fighter,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to do something in that aspect.” He is also an avid street hockey player, but as the second half of July rolled around, his main focus was on Lawrence making a playoff run. “We’ve shown signs, and then we take a step back,” he said. “But we can definitely play. Hopefully we get going at the right time.” And D’Angelo was hoping to play his part, even if it was under the guise of Frank.

go to pickleball I feel like I’m going on vacation. I feel like I’m going to the beach because we used to play hours of paddleball on the beach. This feels to me, like that. It’s proximity, the opponents are closer to each other. It just feels like a more social game. There are conversations going on because you’re closer. You can hear each other and see each other’s eyes and faces.” Pickleball is a combination of pingpong, paddleball, tennis and volleyball. The paddles are within a 54 square inch parameter and they are used to hit a type of whiffle ball. The court is more condensed than tennis and there are several rules taking safety into consideration. Scoring is done one point at a time and, like volleyball, only the team that serves can get a point. Unlike tennis with its booming overhand serve, pickleballers serve underhand, and they must get the ball in on their first try. Games are played to 11 and teams must win by two. “It’s amazing how accessible it is to many different levels,” said Fram, who lives an extremely active recreational life at 58. “You don’t have to be an ace player. I have a friend who used to play ping pong and she picked it up in a day because she’s so used to ping pong. It’s the same traveling kind of ball, same paddle size, kind of, but the game is on the ground. I play squash and badminton, all of those strokes are very, very much built into this game. I love it for that sake.” Lawrence’s Sue Pandak, who turned 74 in late July, is the reigning U.S.
National Champion for 70-year-old 4.0 level players. She won the title in Naples, Fla. this year. Pandak won the singles event, but most recreational pickleball is played in a doubles format. Sue was a softball and tennis player for numerous years and learned of pickleball in Florida in 2010. “I’d come back up here but there was nothing up here for pickleball so I still played a lot of tennis,” she said. “That went on for a couple years and then finally, all of a sudden you had pickle ball going crazy here also.” Why? “It’s pretty much an easier game to pick up than tennis,” Pandak said. “A lot of people started playing tennis and felt they couldn’t get as good at it, and pickleball is a little easier, especially when you’re playing doubles. It’s a lot of fun, you get a great workout in an hour and a half, unlike golf which takes a little longer. Sot c that’s most du o it—you’re r of p finding it to be a little easier, you can have fun at it and you can become better at it quicker. That’s probably the reason why it’s gone nuts.” Fram, originally from South Africa, is aly d local artist/business frien owner who was taught the sport by a friend who works for the Lawrenceville School. She plays league tennis and splits her time between both sports, noting each activity is helped by the other. “This is so much different than tennis but it’s improved my tennis because of the proximity of the game,” she said. “I am now a better net player at tennis. Tennis helps pickleball in the sense that you read the sides of the ball. In tennis you want to do top spin or curl the ball a certain way to go off the court or pull your opponent off the court, with pickleball the ball travels slower and you have the holes to look at the ball to see which way it rotates. “I find that, for pickleball, I am more aware which side I spin the ball to or which way I slice it to and how I’m watching the ball. It’s helped my tennis to watch the ball wherever the brand label on the ball flips to, or whatever affect you have when the ball lands. So they have complemented each other both ways. In pickleball I can go closer to the net so in that sense my hand-eye coordination has definitely gotten faster because I’m more aware.” That being said, pickleballers do not need a tennis past to play the sport. While it may help, numerous folks have no history with rackets and paddles and still become successful at it. “You can be somebody that doesn’t even move if you play at your level,” assured Fram. “I’ve seen the older people at my golf club, they’ll play on clay and stand in one spot and the balls will go from this guy’s feet to that guy’s feet and they won’t move, but they will have

the time of their life. Just find a level you can adjust to.” “I never played tennis, never played a paddle sport,” Nahmias said. “But about 10-and-a-half years ago I got involved with it in the Villages in Florida and I haven’t stopped since.” Then there are those like Rentschler, % to pickleball after several who 0turned 0 1surgeries thwarted her tennis career. “Tennis people who have gone through knee replacement surgeries or elboweproblems have an easier time with fr e because the court is shorter pickleball than the tennis court and you don’t use as much force when you hit the ball,” Rentschler said. “Pickleball is a slower type of game but requires a lot of technique and skill.” That’s one of the great things about y and over, who make it for players h50 ealtof the pickleball population uphmuch (although younger players are getting more involved). Pickleball is not only good for the body, it’s good for the brain as the strategy keeps the mind sharp. proprobably the bigBut gest drawing card is the social setting it provides. Usually groups of the same level arrange to show up at the various area courts that provide pickleball—some of the nearby facilities are at Mercer County Park and Hamilton’s Veterans Park for outdoor play, and Hamilton Sawmill YMCA and PEAC in Ewing for indoors. The teams rotate in and those who are on the sidelines converse with each other. There is even friendly chit-chat on the court since the opponents are so close to each other. “I enjoy the friendship, the camaraderie,” said Nahmias, who is a 3.5 level player. “The competitiveness with the group that I play in is great, we’re all the same. Nobody’s out for blood, nobody really cares if they win or lose. It’s just a very sociable, wonderful exercise game for seniors. That’s what grabbed me.” Pandak feels it helps transcend the generations. “If you’re involved in playing sports, there’s always socializing involved and pickleball is huge with that,” she said. “You have a lot of your top teaching tennis pros playing pickleball now. You have these younger people getting into it. It used to be your older people, retirees and stuff like that, and now it’s the younger kids as well. It’s absolutely amazing.” How amazing? “I’m excited about it,” Nahmias said. “Our senior community is getting older. We have something out there for us, and we’re taking advantage of it.” For those who aren’t. . . just try it. To learn more about pickleball log on to usapa.org.

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
28Lawrence Gazette | 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 | Lawrence Gazette29
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.
30Lawrence Gazette | 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.
