To recycle or not to recycle?

Most residents don’t know the answer, and that’s causing soaring costs

A dose of (augmented) reality Company looks to market headset for use in businesses

By Diccon Hyatt It turns out there are at least three types of reality.

There’s standard reality, which many people are familiar with, and then there’s virtual reality, which you can inhabit by wearing a VR headset of some sort. When you put on a VR

headset, the sights and sounds of the real world are blocked out completely, totally immersing you in a computer-generated experience. Movies, video games, and harder-to-define experimental experiences are available to anyone who wants to venture into a virtual world.

Escaping into virtual space is becoming increasingly popular, and sales of VR units grow every year. The manufacturers of VR headsets, led by Sony Playstation VR, Oculus Rift, and HTC,

together sold around 6 million headsets last year.

But there is a third type of reality that has proved commercially elusive so far: mixed reality or augmented reality. This type of headset seeks to enhance the real world rather than block it out, and it has proved so far to be resistant to commercialization.

But a West Windsor company, ThirdEye Gen, is betting that it has cracked the code with its X2 smart glasses. Unlike VR, which See THIRDEYE, Page 6

Since 1987, New Jersey state law has mandated recycling, but Mercer County residents can’t seem to figure out what is recyclable and what isn’t.

The result has been increasingly contaminated containers and huge increases in recycling costs.

The issue is statewide, and local towns are no exception.

According to Chris Rupp, director of public works for Robbinsville Township, the town’s recycling costs “have doubled from $125,000 per year to $250,000 per year.”

Dan Napoleon, director of environmental programs at the Mercer County Improvement Authority, says that the cost per household per year now averages around $29, which generates large bills in populous towns.

The major change on the recycling scene, says Frank Fiumefreddo of Solterra Recycling Solutions, is that “the quality of the material we were shipping overseas had gotten to a point that it was unacceptable.”

As a result, in 2018, China lowered the minimum allowable percentage of contamination in recycling, throwing the entire recycling industry into

crisis. Solterra is the contracted hauler for curbside recycling in Robbinsville and towns served by the Mercer County Improvement Authority, including West Windsor.

“They went from maybe five percent, and the new standard was they would not accept any material with greater than onehalf of one percent contamination,” Napoleon says. “We saw a 40 percent increase in collection costs as a result.”

Because the biggest contributors to contamination of the recycling stream are plastic bags and pizza boxes, Robbinsville and the Mercer County Improvement Authority are focusing on them in campaigns to reeducate consumers on the how-to’s of recycling.

Plastic bags and any items inside them go directly into the trash at the processing plant.

“It could be 100 percent clean recycling, but it is not opened at the facility,” Napoleon says.

Plastic bags that make their way to the sorting line can jam up the sorting machinery and must be removed by hand, which increases costs.

Pizza boxes are rejected because any oil that has seeped into the cardboard will remain part of the paper fibers when they get to the pulping process.

Misconceptions abound, and they often come with justifications.

CoMMUnItY forUM Plastic bags should be banned This summer, I learned that West Windsor has been discussing a plastic bag ordinance for over a year in its Environmental Commission. This ordinance would encourage the community to prioritize re-use and reduction of bag use over recycling by banning single-use plastic bags.

The fact that this ordinance has not moved forward into general discussion by the town worries me. In talking to people of all age groups and backgrounds about the environment, the farranging effects of good environmental policies are largely ignored, including the substantial economic benefits that these policies bring with them.

In terms of recycling, single-use plastic bags present two problems. First, these bags run the risk of jamming up machines in facilities, adding thousands of dollars per month in labor costs to unclog them. Second, and most importantly, most facilities do not recycle the type of plastic that these bags are made from. It is imperative to keep in mind that single-use plastic bags are contaminants in a recycling bin, just as much as food or laptop batteries are.

When asked what the main problems holding back recycling in the area are, our county’s director of environmental

programs, Daniel Napoleon, gave a concise answer: “contamination of material.”

Mercer County’s contract costs for recycling collection went up by 40 percent as a result of new restrictive recycling importation policies from Eastern countries. The solution? Make our recycling streams more pure by moving forward with the ban while simultaneously encouraging reusable bag usage. Not only will the percentage of recyclable materials increase, the output will be easier to sell, saving the town money.

But in the end, this isn’t about the money. It’s about the environment.

Littered plastic bags harm animal life and pollute the nature around us. It is estimated that emissions from plastic will climb to 17 percent of the global carbon budget (the total amount of carbon dioxide emissions worldwide) by 2050.

Plastic bags are a large portion of

plastic products in use today. They are described as the “number one consumer product” by National Geographic; with 32,000-160,000 bags being used every second, a plastic bag ban would greatly reduce the predicted 17 percent portion of the carbon budget.

My fellow classmates and I who have signed on to this letter will inherit this planet’s future. In 2050, when the world will know whether it has succeeded in red ucing the forecasted 17 percent or not, we will be around 45 years old.

Along with the rest of the students in this municipality, we will hopefully still have half of a long and fruitful life to live.

And it is the choices that are made today that will determine whether our surroundings will consist of waste yards— or forests and gardens. It is the choices that are made today that will affect us— your children and grandchildren—for decades to come. Changes on a global scale are required. But we can and must start with local action from municipalities like ours.

Please consider the drastic benefits— both present and future, economic and environmental—that this ordinance would provide and come out to support it at future Environmental Commission and council meetings.

Nitya Narayanan Akila Saravanan Narayanan is president of the South Environmental Club and Saravanan is the president of the club at North. *** Over the past year, the West Windsor Environmental Commission has taken up the topic of what to do to reduce the use of single-use plastic bags in our Township. According to Clean Water Action New Jersey, Americans dispose of 100 billion plastic bags a year; and over four billion of them are used and disposed of in New Jersey.

Packaging waste (mainly from plastics) accounts for 30% of American household trash and is on the rise. It’s polluting the marine environment at a runaway pace—80% of ocean litter comes from land-based sources.

If we continue on this trajectory of global plastic production and consumption, there will be more plastic in the ocean by weight than fish by 2050.

At a recent West Windsor Environmental Commission meeting, Jennifer Coffey, Executive Director of the ANJEC, talked about the real cost of using single-use plastic bags: residents in error believe that single-use plastic bags, which are made from petroleum products, can be recycled. They cannot and often end up impairing the sorting machines used at recycling centers.

This is part of a larger problem: due to sheer volume, recycling markets in China, Vietnam and Indonesia are now closed to American and other companies that seek to send their allegedly “recyclable” material to markets that once accepted them.

So the best proactive practice is to reduce our use of plastic. This has the added benefit of reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, since plastic bags are made from petroleum. Our State Legis-

lature has been considering a bill to ban the use of single-use plastic bags and paper bags (also a source of waste); however, the Legislature is in a deadlock.

In the face of inaction at the State level, over thirty New Jersey towns and municipalities have adopted local ordinances.

In West Windsor, over the past several months, many of our local businesses— like our grocery stores and restaurants—have been informed of, and are prepared for, the plastic bag ordinance under consideration.

In fact, Trader Joe’s is phasing out the use of single-use plastic bags at point of sale, and Wegman’s is pledged to do the phase-out by the end of this month.

Some local merchants have offered to donate reusable bags to Township residents when our Council acts to adopt an ordinance. At the same time, the ordinance will have a long phase-in period so businesses and residents alike can adjust to the new rules.

The time for action is now. Let’s do this, West Windsor!

Please note, the following West Windsor Township residents join us in affirming the contents of this letter: Randi Kronthal Sacco (former Commissioner, West Windsor Environmental Commission); Sylvia Kay; Sudi Solomon; David Chait; Kristin Epstein; and Amanda Chait.

residents are now able to take a pledge to not exceed the speed limit, to obey all stop signs and red lights, and to follow the other traffic laws within the township.

Those taking the pledge will receive a small magnetic sign that identifies them as a motorist who has agreed to become a West Windsor Pace Car driver.

By proudly displaying the sign on the rear of their vehicle, our residents are taking charge of our neighborhoods, impressing on our friends and neighbors the importance of observing the speed limits, and obeying the traffic laws on our streets.

Taking the pledge is easy to do. The pledge form can be downloaded from the West Windsor Township website or that of the WWBPA. Alternatively, the pledge forms can also be picked up at the township municipal offices, the West Windsor Branch of the Mercer County Library or the West Windsor Farmers’ Market.

You can also request a pledge form

by emailing your request to pacecar@ westwindsortwp.com or by calling the township offices at (609) 799-2400. Once completed, the forms can be returned to any of the three sites listed above to pick up the Pace Car magnet.

Acknowledged by the Federal Highway Administration as an educational tool for building safer communities, the Pace Car program has been successfully employed across the U.S. in cities such as Baltimore, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Salt Lake City, and Boulder, Colorado.

West Windsor is now the fourth New Jersey community to do so. Through the generosity of the GMTMA, this program is being introduced without the expenditure of any township funds.

I hope everyone will join with us to make our West Windsor streets safer for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians.

Setting the pace for traffic

Recently, West Windsor residents have expressed growing concerns with speeding, distracted driving, aggressive driving, rush hour congestion and other issues dealing with the safety of the township’s roadways.

Addressing these concerns demands a multifaceted approach combining governmental and community efforts.

These concerns are not unique to West Windsor, and other municipalities have addressed these issues through a combination of law enforcement, education and awareness.

One program that has demonstrated success in “calming” traffic in the U.S. and Canada is the Pace Car Program. Its goal is to make neighborhoods safer for pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers.

Resident Pace Car drivers agree to drive courteously, at or below the speed limit, and follow other traffic laws. These programs involve having interested residents register as a Pace Car driver, agree to a pledge to abide by the rules and display a colorful Pace Car magnet on their vehicle.

At the mayor’s request, I was honored to work with West Windsor Township, the West Windsor Bicycle and Pedestrian Alliance and the Greater Mercer Transportation Management Association to establish the West Windsor Pace Car Program. We were pleased to inaugurate this community-based awareness and education program during National Night Out on Aug. 6.

The program is simple. West Windsor

THIRDEYE continued from Page 1 is mostly used for entertainment, ThirdEye’s device is being marketed for use in the workplace.

The ThirdEye X2 glasses are transparent like a normal pair of glasses, but have the ability to project a translucent computer image onto the glass, overlaying computer images on top of the user’s field of vision. The glasses are also much lighter than a VR headset and don’t have wires attached to anything. All the computing power is in the frame of the glasses even though it weighs just six ounces.

“Eighty percent of the global workforce uses their hands while working,” says Nick Cherukuri, founder of ThirdEye. His company aims to give workers the powerful ability of using a computer without taking their hands off of a task.

Suppose a technician is in the field repairing a piece of machinery and runs into a problem they can’t tackle? Instead of picking up a phone and calling for expert advice, the company could use the smart X2’s built-in camera to stream live video to a top engineer back at headquarters.

The expert could give the field mechanic step-by-step instructions and even display pictures and video to them while they worked.

This same capability could allow a surgeon to consult with a colleague or an aircraft mechanic with an expert. A construction manager or architect visiting a building site could see a projection of the planned building rising out of the terrain. The possibilities are nearly endless, Cherukuri says.

Cherukuri says his company is currently having units manufactured in China with the goal of shipping them in the “tens of thousands” in the near future.

He says companies like Verizon, Boeing and Lockheed-Martin have partnered with him to test uses for the glasses.

“It’s a really exciting space to be in,” he says. “We are really the established leader in augmented, mixed-reality glasses, and we’re pretty excited about where we’re going.”

Cherukuri sees smart glasses eventually replacing phones and laptops in certain situations where being handsfree is a must. In addition to business-tobusiness applications, augmented reality games and entertainment could be big business someday. Cherukuri says the company has about 500 software developer partners who have taken the technology in all kinds of directions.

The glasses use an open source Android operating system.

“They have come up with ideas that we never envisioned. One is that you wear the glasses and you have eight different TV screens mapped out in a room,” he says. “One pretty big gaming company is trying to make a massive city gaming experience where you walk around, say New York, and you would have a dragon fly out at you from behind a skyscraper, for example.” Another is a virtual piano that appears in front of the user, who can play music like you could on a real keyboard.

He is also marketing the glasses to airlines as an alternative way for passengers to watch movies. Airlines could also do some wild things like mount cameras on the bottom of the plane so that users of AR-glasses could see through the floor.

(The F-35 fighter jet helmet uses a similar system to allow the pilot to see below and around the aircraft.)

Cherukuri also sees the device being useful for visually impaired people. Its 13-megapixel camera can alter colors, zoom in on text while reading a book, or read words out loud. Many of these capabilities currently exist in smartphones, but the glasses remove the need for the user to hold a phone while trying to do something else.

The battery-powered device is controlled with a combination of voice commands and gaze tracking, where a mouse cursor moves along with the user’s head.

Cherukuri says the company is considering adding hand gesture commands to

future models, but the goal is to be handsfree or nearly so. He says previous augmented reality devices have come with an attached keyboard or a wired power pack, negating the advantages of mobility and hands-free operation that are the entire reason for using it in the first place.

ThirdEye currently employs 50 people, mostly engineers, and is planning to expand by hiring sales and marketing staff in the near future. It is currently located at 300 Alexander Park Drive in West Windsor, in the same building as defense contractor Banc3 Engineering.

The location is not a coincidence, as the two companies are closely connected.

Banc3 is a licensed reseller of the glasses, specializing in government sales.

The core team of engineers who designed the smart glasses came from the ranks of Princeton-area technology companies specializing in defense, such as SRI, and Banc3, which makes augmented reality systems for the military.

Cherukuri says the team designed the glasses using lessons learned making devices such as heads-up displays for rifles. The designers have been working with heads-up displays for 20 to 30 years, he says.

ThirdEye’s competition in the smart glasses field comes from the west coast, with Google’s Google Glass smart glasses and Microsoft’s HoloLens also selling their products to businesses and the government.

Despite being a much smaller company, Cherukuri says ThirdEye has been remarkably competitive with the industry giants. ThirdEye’s product costs about $1,800, half as much as the similarly capable HoloLens and comparable to Google Glass, which only has a projector on one eye and therefore a narrower field of view. Due to the absence of Apple from the field and the relatively small efforts

by Google and Microsoft, Cherukuri calls AR a “wide-open field” for development.

Cherukuri says his customers have so far been testing the glasses in pilot programs and have seen large gains in workforce efficiency, making the glasses pay for themselves in short order.

There are numerous technical obstacles that have so far prevented smart glasses from becoming widespread. In 2013, Google launched Google Glass but was met with criticism over privacy due to the inclusion of a camera in the glasses. There are also hardware chal-

lenges, although processors and cameras have vastly advanced in the last six years.

Cherukuri says one engineering challenge was how to manage heat. The smart glasses generate heat comparable to that of a smart phone but don’t have the surface area on the back of the phone to dissipate it. “You also don’t want it burning up your head,” he says.

The latest ThirdEye unit uses a system of internal vents to deal with the heat and divert it away from the person wearing the device. Battery life is another issue.

Currently, the X2 unit has heavy-duty batteries that last for about three hours of constant use before needing a recharge, which Cherukuri says is about the industry standard. That could be extended to an entire workday if the user only turns it on for short bursts.

Located in the Alexander Park commercial complex off Alexander Road, ThirdEye is headquartered in an area not known as a consumer electronics hub. But there is more technical expertise in the Route 1 corridor than a casual observer might realize.

Not only is Princeton University here, but defense and aerospace companies in the region foster electronics expertise.

“We’ve found this is a great location,” Cherukuri says. “It’s easy to travel to, and it’s easy to build labs and stuff. It’s easier than working in a city where it’s impossible to build labs like we have here.”

Cherukuri says the company was founded two years ago and is self-funded so far. He says he is planning a Series-A funding round for investors.

Cherukuri grew up and lives in Cranbury, where his parents are engineers, and attended the Lawrenceville School.

He went to college at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, graduating in 2016. While in school he helped found a VR club and founded ThirdEye while he was still a student. Some of the company’s original employees were also part of the club.

Cherukuri says he is looking for 50 to 60 more employees in the current phase of hiring. “We are trying to expand really fast,” he says. For the moment he plans to stay in the current building and not move out of the area if he outgrows it.

“There aren’t too many startups on the east coast,” he says. “We really think of ourselves as the Silicon Valley of Princeton. We have that type of mentality; we are trying to bring that type of feel here.”

RECYCLE continued from Page 1 to contain it from blowing around,” says Napoleon. Or they may not realize that recycled No. 1 and No. 2 plastic needs to be cleaned before being tossed in the bin. Or perhaps people get confused because plastic bags are recyclable through collection programs in area supermarkets.

Some of the mistakes are fairly extreme, but perhaps people are extrapolating from allowed items like glass jars, metal cans, and No. 1 and No. 2 plastics when they put items like plastic toys, broken window glass, coat hangers, bowling balls and frying pans in their recycling cans.

“A lot of people think because it has some kind of plastic in it or has a plastic handle, it is recyclable,” says Rupp.

So residents should take heed of important advice from recycling professionals: “When in doubt, throw it out.”

Fiumefreddo is convinced that education works and cites a recent New Jersey success story.

“Marlboro Township decided it was not allowing any residents to put plastic bags at the curb, and the quality of the material got tremendously better,”

Fiumefreddo says. The absence of plastic bags in Marlboro come with an additional benefit: Solterra haulers can see exactly what is in a recycling container, enabling them to reject a bucket that is contaminated much more easily.

“If we don’t keep educating and letting residents know what can and can’t go in there, it is not going to get better,” says Fiumefreddo.

Robbinsville’s educational outreach on correct recycling has been multifaceted and far-reaching: they have included the recycling changes for plastic bags with everyone’s tax bill; contacted homeowners association representatives; advertised in myriad venues—on the Robbinsville website, at National Night Out, and at the Robbinsville Farmers Market; and put fliers at the Senior Center and Robbinsville Mobile Homes Park.

“We’ve gotten it out to everybody, letting them know the changes, and we have been fielding phone calls every day since,” Rupp says.

On Sept. 1, Robbinsville will begin to enforce the ban on plastic bags. They have designed tags for Solterrra to leave on rejected containers indicating why they have not been emptied. People will

The road to learning new recycling behaviors can be rocky, and townships can expect lots of phone calls during the transition.

then have to wait for the next scheduled recycling day.

“We’re hoping that everyone decides to work with us,” Rupp says. “Once your stuff is not picked up for a couple of weeks and you have no place to dump it, you’ll learn to put it out the correct way.”

The Mercer County Improvement Authority is planning a reeducation campaign that will also culminate in increased enforcement. It will include a one-page piece to residents and will use print and social media and radio.

The campaign will continue over several months so that residents have time to start changing their recycling behavior. “Our ultimate goal is to say, after maybe Jan. 1, ‘Your bucket won’t be collected if you have plastic bags and pizza boxes.’”

The road to learning new recycling behaviors can be rocky, and townships can expect lots of phone calls during the transition.

Rupp refers callers to videos on the Robbinsville website that illustrate how plastic bags get tangled up in the machinery, and closed bags get thrown directly in the trash. “It’s not getting recycled so you’re defeating the purpose,” he says.

Although Rupp says he understands people’s frustration and aversion to change, he adds, “If we can clean up our recycling, maybe we can reduce spending and still help the environment … We don’t want to raise taxes to do recycling; now it is almost as expensive as regular trash.”

Mercer County Improvement Authority hopes to reduce costs by educating residents on what can actually be recycled. (Graphic by Stacey Micallef.)

The Mercer County Improvement Authority does have an enforcement team, but assessing responsibility if a bucket is missed is difficult. It may not be clear whether the hauler was at fault, or they were legitimately skipping a recycling container that contained, say, fluorescent bulbs. And multiple

trips by haulers to the same address are expensive.

Fiumefreddo would like to see towns provide their own enforcers who accompany the truck and inspect the cans. “As long as the towns stand behind us, it will be a big success for recycling,” he says.

Unlike most towns in Mercer County, Robbinsville no longer does its recycling through the Mercer County Improvement Authority.

When the prior director of public works, Dino Colarocco, made that decision, the motivation was to give Robbinsville officials more control, enabling them to call Solterra directly to determine why stops had been missed.

But Rupp says, “I think that in the long run it might be cheaper to go with a group.” He plans to speak to Napoleon about their options for working with MCIA, but he thinks they are full for the upcoming year.

With China limiting drastically the amount of contamination, Fiumefreddo says, “facilities had to put in more pickers or more technology to clean up the product more, and all that does is drive up the cost for processing.”

Furthermore, the decreasing amounts of recycled goods that China is accepting has required diverting them to domestic mills, which pay less than the international ones.

Two years ago, Fiumefreddo says, recycling cost Solterra $55 to $60 a ton to process and today costs are $85 or $90.

“Ultimately, we want to reduce the cost of recycling to our towns, so we have to start somewhere,” Napoleon says. “If we can reduce the amount of contamination, ultimately we can reverse the increase in costs. This didn’t happen overnight, so the correction is not going to happen overnight.”

Garden in the machine: the forgotten history of the D&R canal

By Diccon Hyatt In Trenton, Route 1 is a concrete colossus that cuts the city in half, diagonally southwest to northeast. All day long, the highway howls with the roar of motors and tires, and the thunder of heavy trucks. What most of those drivers don’t realize is that just beneath their feet, there is another manmade highway.

Today, this highway lies in stillness and darkness, unused and nearly forgotten for the better part of a century.

It is a section of the Delaware and Raritan Canal, and in the last century it, too, was a great artery of commerce, where smoke-belching steamboats hauled coal from the mines of Pennsylvania to the furnaces of New York.

In the 1800s, this canal connected sleepy, rural New Jersey to the world, and sparked its transformation from a farming region to a center of industry.

Yet, today it provides an oasis of nature in a landscape of suburban sprawl. Aside from a few sections in Trenton and Bordentown that have been filled in or covered over, the main D&R Canal, plus its feeder canal, are largely intact and form a 60-mile long park, the longest and narrowest in the state.

If you live in Central New Jersey, the canal is probably close to your backyard—it runs through Plainsboro and West Windsor..

Howard Green, research director

A bridgtender’s house at Harrison Street in Princeton, along the D&R Canal. (Photo courtesy of Linda Barth.) of the New Jersey Historical Commission put it like this: “It is one of the most beloved parks in the state, a sinewy, snake-like greenway through one of the most heavily populated parts of the world.

It has gone from being the machine in the garden, to being garden in the machine.”

The first person to propose digging a canal across the “waist” of New Jersey between the Delaware and Raritan rivers was William Penn who, in the 1690s, suggested that such a canal would shorten the water distance between the two largest cities in the colonies, Philadelphia

and New York, by 100 miles at a time when traveling by virtually nonexistent roads was dangerous and impractical.

More than 100 years later, road transport had improved but moving heavy goods was still prohibitively expensive.

For some cargoes, moving material to market cost 10 times as much as it did to produce in the first place. In New York, it was cheaper to buy coal from Europe than to import it from the nearby coal fields of Pennsylvania. And commerce shipped up and down the Atlantic coast remained vulnerable to being lost in storms or to the British.

Thomas Jefferson’s treasurer, Albert Gallatin proposed digging four canals at different points along the East Coast.

This would allow vessels to travel the entire length of the coast, through rivers, bays and canals, without ever having to venture into the Atlantic Ocean, improving transportation for the whole country and protecting shipping from British raiders.

Those canals were all eventually built, and the Intracoastal Waterway eventually became a reality. But thanks to characteristic political dithering, it wasn’t until the 1830s that New Jersey finally got started building the D&R Canal at a time when canals were starting to face competition from railroads. The state chartered a private company, the D&R Canal Company, to build the canal in 1830, and sold shares to the public. But

the shares failed to sell out, leaving the project underfunded, and it looked as though it would fail again. That’s when Robert Stockton of Princeton sought financing from his wealthy father-in-law.

To secure funding for the project, the state combined the canal company with the newly formed Camden and Amboy Railroad company, and gave the joint company a monopoly, banning other railroads and canals from being built within 10 miles of its route.

The D&R main canal went 44 miles from Bordentown to New Brunswick.

A smaller “feeder” canal supplied it with water, and ran parallel to the Delaware River for 22 miles from Bull’s Island to Trenton. Soon after the charter was signed, an army of laborers set to work digging the canal. About 1,000 men wielding picks, shovels, and scoops dug the ditch by hand and built the 14 locks that would allow boats to be lifted 115 feet over the length of the canal. Where roads crossed the canal’s path, sideways-moving swing-gate bridges were constructed so that canal boats would have no height limit.

Many of the workers were local, some were farmers who needed work during the winter. This workforce was supplemented by Irish workers who were brought in to supplement the workforce.

According to some sources, the workers made about $1 a day and were paid 25 cents for removing stumps and also received a ration of alcohol. But wages may not have been this generous: an article from the Sentinel of Freedom newspaper from 1852 describes an unsuccessful strike by Irish canal workers demanding a raise to $1 from their 75-cent daily wage.

Bob and Linda Barth, members of the D&R Canal Watch group of volunteers who works to preserve the canal and educate the public about its historical importance, have spent years researching its history. Linda has written two history books on the canal, “On the Delaware and Raritan Canal,” and “The Delaware and Raritan Canal at Work,” along with a children’s book called “The Bridgetender’s Boy.” Bob Barth said workers endured harsh and unsanitary conditions and lived in squalid camps that moved along with the progress of construction. In 1832, a cholera outbreak swept through the camps, claiming the lives of a number of workers, although the historical record isn’t clear exactly how many.

“The people making the money didn’t care much about the people doing the work,” Barth said.

A monument on Bull’s Island commemorates the sacrifice of the workers.

The canal opened to great fanfare in 1834, with Gov. Peter Vroom making the first boat journey from Bordentown to New Brunswick on a barge, arriving to a 21-gun salute.

From its opening, the canal was a success. In addition to encouraging transportation, the canal provided power to nearby industries. Attracted by cheap shipping and water power provided by the canal, John Roebling chose Trenton for his wire rope factory in 1848. Later, Johnson & Johnson set up its plants in New Brunswick along the canal and

were a major user of water power. Mercer County’s rise as an industrial powerhouse can be credited partly to the existence of the canal.

The majority of traffic on the canal consisted of boats hauling bulk goods, mainly coal from Pennyslvania bound for New York. At first the boats were towed by mules, and later were steam powered or were towed by steam tugs.

Linda Barth said the typical canal boat had a large cargo hold and a small house at the stern where boat captains would live with their families.

During the Civil War, the canal helped the U.S. military by providing an efficient way to transport supplies from northern factories to the front lines.

The first troops to rush to the defense of Washington, D.C. after the outbreak of war were the New Jersey Militia, who traveled by steamboat, taking the canal for part of their journey.

In its busiest year, 1871, the D&R Canal had more freight traffic than the longer and more famous Erie Canal. But its heyday was short lived. In 1871, it was taken over by the Pennsylvania Railroad, and 1873 was the last year the canal turned a profit. Railroads had become so fast and efficient that boat canals like the D&R could no longer compete. The canal closed to traffic forever in 1932 and turned over to the state government. Part of the canal in Trenton and Bordentown was filled in and paved over, and about a mile of it in Trenton was covered over with Route 1 although water still flows beneath. Bob Barth said he has talked to canoeists who have braved the subterranean journey beneath the highway.

But the closure of the canal to boat traffic wasn’t the end of the story, and it has enjoyed a second life. The canal retains its legal right, negotiated centuries ago, to draw water from the Delaware River, and this is perhaps its greatest asset. The canal is used as a water source for industry and municipal water supplies, and about 1 million residents of central New Jersey drink from it every day.

Its second use is for recreation, and over the years the towpath has been transformed into a well maintained walking path that follows the main canal and the feeder canal, forming a 60-mile long park. Thanks to several foot bridges, pedestrians can walk its entire length without having to cross highways on foot. It was made a state park in 1974.

It’s also a historical attraction for enthusiasts such as the Barths. And while the general public can enjoy the canal by walking, biking, or kayaking, the Barths are working to provide a new way for visitors to see the canal, by organizing boat tours.

“The canal is probably just as useful now as it was at its peak,” Bob Barth said.

Much of the historic information in this article came from Bill McKelvey’s “Along the Delaware and Raritan Canal,” available at canalwatch.org.

Co-worker charged in Hunters Glen murder

By Bill Sanservino

bsanservino@communitynews.org

Carolyn Byington, the woman who was found dead in her Hunters Glen apartment on June 10, was murdered by a coworker, authorities allege.

Kenneth C. Saal, 30, of Lindenwold, in Camden County, was arrested Aug. 21 and charged with one count of firstdegree murder and a third degree weapon possession offense, said Plainsboro Police Chief Fred Tavener and Middlesex Prosecutor Andrew Carey.

Byington and Saal both worked at Engine, a marketing and advertising company in Carnegie Center in West Windsor. Byington was as a senior associate in project management and Saal is a staff accountant.

The charges against Saal were filed following a several-month investigation conducted by the Plainsboro Police and the Prosecutor’s Office.

Saal, who is married and has an infant child, was apprehended at his residence by officers from the prosecutor’s office and the Plainsboro Police Department.

Saal pleaded not guilty during a hearing in Middlesex County Superior Court on Aug. 23. He was being held at the Middlesex County Jail pending a detention hearing scheduled for Aug. 27, after The News went to press.

Byington’s body was discovered inside her Hunters Glen apartment

Kenneth C. Saal (left), the man accused of killing Carolyn Byington (right) in her Hunters Glen Apartment, shows off his wedding ring at his reception in a 2017 Facebook photo. Saal and Byington worked at the same company in Carnegie Center. by police at 6 p.m. on June 10. She had suffered multiple stab wounds and sustained blunt force trauma, police said.

Officers had been dispatched to Byington’s apartment following a request by her coworkers to conduct a wellness check. They had become concerned after she left for her lunch break and never returned.

Her death was ruled to be a homicide later that evening following an autopsy

by the Middlesex County Medical Examiner’s Office.

A criminal complaint filed with the court details the case against Saal.

According to authorities, Saal took his lunch break at the same time as Byington, and he later sent a text message to his supervisor that he would be late due to an appointment with a mechanic.

Police said the supervisor later learned that Saal had lied about being

at the mechanic. In addition, police obtained video footage of a car matching Saal’s travelling in the vicinity of Hunters Glen at 2:04 p.m. on the day of the killing.

Coworkers reported that in the days following the murder, Saal’s demeanor changed. They also reported seeing cuts on his knuckles and hands. He also allegedly asked a colleague about whether people can get arrested on circumstantial evidence in a murder case.

On Aug. 19, investigators received the results of a DNA test of material discovered under Byington’s fingernails that found that Saal could not be excluded.

Authorities moved to charge Saal following the results of the DNA test.

Meanwhile, investigators have not yet released a motive for the crime. A number of news outlets have reported that neighbors said they heard faint screams coming from the apartment on the day she was killed, along with what sounded like furniture moving.

They said they didn’t see anyone leave, and no one called police to report what they heard. It is believed that Byington was attacked once she entered her apartment.

The investigation is still ongoing, and anyone with information on the crime is asked to call call Plainsboro Det. Tim McMahon at (609) 799-2333 ext. 1627, or Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office Det. David Abromaitis at (732) 745-4436.

Back to School Dance Corner: More than just a dance studio The Dance Corner in West Windsor’s Southfield Shopping Center believes exceptional dance instruction should emphasize more than just dance—the studio weaves the importance of self-esteem, persistence, and confidence into all of its instruction. Friendship, teamwork, leadership, discipline, commitment, and memories are natural outcomes of quality and child-centered dance training.

Owner Amy DeCesare wants the Dance Corner’s students to think of the studio as a second home, a place where they can learn and feel comfortable at the same time.

“Some kids take up to nine classes a week, with most students averaging three classes a week,” DeCesare says. “We see some students starting with just one class and then feeling so empowered, they want to take more and more classes. Seeing the confidence my instructors instill in them is very

gratifying.”

The Dance Corner is more than ballet. The school strives to foster personal, technical, and artistic growth for all of its students, at all ages, levels, and in all styles. Offering more than 54 individual classes taught by eleven instructors, the Dance

Corner has a depth of experience unmatched in the area. Instructors have professional experience with dance companies, national and international theater and dance touring programs, as well as college and community theater programs throughout the United States.

“We’re both different and special at the Dance Corner because we offer all types of high-quality dance instruction rather than concentrating on just one form of dance,” DeCesare notes proudly.

“We have two dance studios with professional quality sprung dance floors and a state-of-the-art sound system. With two studios, we can have two classes at once, allowing us to expose even more students to the wonderful world of dance.”

Classes are grouped by age or skill level and run from 45 minutes to upwards of an hour, depending on age. Adults should not feel left out at the Dance Corner, with yearlong and drop in class offerings in multiple styles. The school offers a scholarship for boys ages six and up when registering for a co-ed class. DeCesare notes It’s nice to have a mix of boys and girls in the classes and that teaching the mixed classes has been very rewarding.

“We believe performance is important,” DeCesare says. “We have a recital at the end of the school year. We also have a See DANCE CORNER, Page 14

Education is an adventure at JEI Education is a lifelong adventure and it is never too early to introduce your child to the joy of learning.

That is what Director Christine See and her mother, Namsoug Kim, believe, which is why their JEI Learning Center of Princeton, located at 33 Princeton-Hightstown Road, Princeton Junction, is the perfect place to give your child a head start.

For over fourteen years, the mother-daughter duo fostered a community by guiding children as young as kindergarten toward independent learning. See says, “This is a family endeavor and we are thrilled to see students whom we have known for years thrive and go on to great things. Some have even come back to become mentors.”

She believes that the system works because of its focus on enrichment and establishing a lifestyle change that will follow their students even after school. One way the individually paced, stepby-step learning program does this is by providing a huge confidence boost in the students.

She explains, “It is crucial that students begin at a comfortable starting point. The prescribed learning program for the first few weeks is remedial and seems easy.

This helps to build confidence in every student, but especially in those who are behind in their school work. Their progress will accelerate once they have filled in the gaps, and they will eventually move ahead of their school level.

Once inspired and motivated by our program, children enjoy learning independently, which furthers their potential growth exponentially.”

The latest program at the JEI Learning Center is Brain Safari, which See describes

as an enrichment program for strengthening logical and analytical skills. She says, “These unique, fun, and engaging activities build critical thinking skills and creative talents to help students excel in all subjects. This kind of critical thinking enhances understanding and overall cognitive ability. It is applicable to all subjects.”

JEI Learning Center believes those traits form the strong foundation that is essential for long-term success. Other programs, which include Math, Problem Solving Math, English, and Reading & Writing, boost students’ understanding of the State Standard-aligned curriculums. They double down on understanding concepts and lay down a solid base for more advanced levels.

It is also imperative that children do not fall behind in their schoolwork, which is why See advises, “The school year is starting and now is the time to get your child back into the swing of things. This gives them a leg up and a chance to be ahead of the curve.”

Schedule a visit to Princeton JEI Learning Center now to prepare your child for a new year, build confidence, and nurture a love for learning.

Lightbridge Academy: Challenging, fun and educational Among the many things that director Jessica McKenna is proud of at Plainsboro’s Lightbridge Academy is keeping the center’s environment just right: challenging, fun and educational, without overstimulating little eyes and minds. “If you get down on your knees, to the height of our classroom shelves, you can see from the perspective that threeand four-year old children see.

And crowding walls with lots of artwork and posters can really be too much for those eyes.” Instead, walls are cheerful and bright but not cluttered, and that philosophy extends deep into the entire school curriculum.

“Seedlings, our curriculum, is based on small learning groups and observing where the children are in the learning process, rather than a one-size-fits-all

approach,” McKenna explains.

The program covers not only early childhood education academics like mathematics, science, language and literacy. Additionally, social-emotional and physical growth is an important focus, with enhancements such as the Kindness Curriculum, American Sign Language, a focus on gross motor skills and more. Children three years and older use the Handwriting Without Tears program, and, throughout the curriculum, academics and fun are intertwined, along with the newest technologies.

Preschool and Kindergarteners get the use of iPads and interactive white boards. Children can enjoy looking at animals in zoos and wildlife habitats from around the world; the interactive white board is even used for Zumba and Yoga classes, all tailored, of course, for the appropriate age level. For other physical activity, the Academy has two outdoor playgrounds and a multipurpose room.

Groups are run on an ageappropriate ratio system, with two teachers in each of the nine classrooms, with potential for a

third. That level of attentiveness plays out in security issues as well: staff members can only enter the building through a biometric finger scanner, and the ParentView camera system allows parents, grandparents and other caregivers to check in at any time to see what their child is doing during the course of the day.

Lightbridge Academy, open 12 months a year, currently has schools in five states, including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Florida and Virginia and is still expanding. It offers education and daycare facilities for infants as young as 6 weeks, up through Kindergarten. Before and aftercare programs are also available for children in first through the fifth grade.

“What is also really great is, that because this is a franchise, this is individually owned and operated.

The owners of this Academy are on-site, pretty much, every day. It really makes you see how much they care about how the school is running,” enthuses McKenna.

Windsor Happy School helps children to succeed The Windsor Happy School in Princeton Junction is set for another successful school year with a range of dynamic learning programs and an excellent student teacher ratio (Infants 1:2 and toddlers 1:5) and highly trained, state-licensed staff.

Happy School is licensed for ages six weeks to 12 years and offers an excellent back-to-school program.

The safe, nurturing environment and professionally developed, quality curriculum puts children on the path to success.

“Our mission is to maximize each child’s potential and to prepare them for kindergarten and beyond,” says Principal Sefali Shah. “They learn social skills, behavior management and independence, making them more receptive to learning and more adaptable to new situations.” She also notes that the benefits of preschool education have been proven by careful and extensive research and state and federal government support.

Four age-appropriate learning programs are offered: Infant Care: Teachers at the Happy School work with infants aged six weeks to 18 months, to develop reflexes and motor skills through individual interaction, at a ratio of two babies to one teacher.

The room features a spacious play area, colorful décor, personal childsafe toys and a sanitary diaper station.

Toddler Program: Designed for children from 18 months to almost three years, the curriculum promotes social interaction, refining fine and gross motor skills and activities such as outdoor play, communication, music and dance.

Preschool Program. From ages three to four, a child’s brain develops rapidly and the Preschool Program fosters creativity and curiosity with an array of activities and a focus on independent learning, language, literacy and numeracy.

Pre-Kindergarten. The program prepares children four years of age for their upcoming formal

Windsor Happy School’s Sefali Shah and her husband Manish.

K12 education. Pre-Kindergarten teachers work with each child to acclimate them to a more independent learning process, covering communication, math, science, arts and crafts, storytelling, individual projects, and more.

The Before and After School Program serves children six years and older with personalized, quality care, available from 7 am to 7 pm.

Kumon, Tae Kwon Do, Robotics, Amazing Athletes, music, writing and homework assignments are among the activities offered to ensure a child’s time before and after school is productively spent.

Since most of the children will attend public schools in the highly rated West Windsor Plainsboro District, the staff at the Happy School works closely with administrators to ensure compliance with its requirements.

All students enjoy age-appropriate special programs such as Amazing Athletes, Robotics (Dr. Rogers & Ms. Kapoor), Tae Kwon Do, Music (Ms. Kay from Harmony School of Music), Kids Zumba, Dance, and Kumon. A Kumon franchise in the same shopping center is available for special classes with subsidized tuition only for Happy School students.

Children above the age of three enjoy additional learning experiences through various field trips.

The Windsor Happy School is now enrolling students. Parents can learn more about its programs, staff and mission at the upcoming Happy School Social held on September 6th at the Windsor Athletic Club at 99 Clarksville Road in West Windsor.

Travel Talk with Caryn and Aron Arias Spinning new memories

I just returned from a trip with my son and we had an amazing memory making time. I have taken each of my boys on a European vacation to celebrate the completion of their first successful year in college. This was a mother and son trip intended to create memorable experiences that can be talked and laughed about for years to come.

On this vacation we were traveling with several families who were not only cruising with us, but also bike riding.

While we cruised between ports of calls, they traveled the countryside on their bicycles stopping along the way to tour, sample local cuisine, enjoy a picnic and enjoy the scenery. In the evenings they joined us for dinner and evening entertainment or to explore the local town.

These bike trips can be a means of exploring parts of the country tourists don’t normally see. From Tuscan journeys, to tours of Spain, to family getaways, to going tropical, bike trips offer all these options and many more. These trips are not just for the experienced bicyclist but also the novice. The trips are designed for all levels to enjoy and explore new destinations off the beaten path.

Biking trips offer the opportunity to experience travel in a completely different way. Stand spellbound at the largest Glacier in Glacier National park after a spectacular 40-mile bike ride. Listen to the chatter of monkeys overhead as you raft down the river in Costa Rica, after biking through the rain forest. Cycle in the Waterland nature reserve and meander through quaint, historic villages with wooden houses in the Netherlands as part

WW-P Babe Ruth 15s bow out after making regionals

By Justin Feil The WW-P Babe Ruth 15-year-old team finished third in the Southern New Jersey state tournaments and picked up an automatic qualifier to its first Mid-Atlantic Regionals last month.

“A whole bunch of kids really stepped up and played together as a team, which I think is really rewarding just to watch,” said coach Eric Lasky. “Adam Naddelman (assistant coach) and I have coached some variety of these kids since they were seven years old, and this was really the last year that we’d be coaching them in rec baseball with them aging out of Babe Ruth.”

He said the group has made it to the finals in the state tournament before, but never quite won. “To advance to the regionals in our last year was just icing on the cake for them,” Lasky said.

The 15s team included Carl Birge, Christopher Cordasco, AJ Friedman, Caleb Kempler, Andrew Lambert, Max Lasky, Palmer Maurer, Owen McCarron, Connor McDowell, Zach Naddelman, Drew Petrone, James Petrone, Jaxson Petrone and Lewen Sun. Flynn Kinney was also a member of team, but was injured.

The 15s had to overcome some early

setbacks to reach the regionals that were held in Somers Point in mid-July.

Even before they started playing in their state tournament, they were saddled with misfortune.

“Unfortunately right before the season started we lost two of our pitchers to season-ending injuries so we were sort of starting with a whole lot less pitching than we thought we would have,” Lasky said. “We actually discovered a new pitcher, AJ Friedman, who we hadn’t relied upon as a pitcher, but pitched two incredible games for us in the two tournaments.”

The 15s showed promise even without their full squad available. They opened the summer by winning the Branchburg Tournament.

That victory helped to set the stage for their state success, and even helped to prompt a new nickname, the Wallabies.

Their new nickname brought the team closer together.

“They were noticing that all the other teams had a mascot and they were really upset that they didn’t have a mas-

cot,” Lasky said. “And so the team got together, the kids without us knowing got together and said, ‘What could we be called?’ They decided we would call the West Windsor Wallabies.

“They embraced it and they kept calling themselves the Wallabies, Wallaby Nation ,and one thing we did after we qualified was we went out and got them hats so they’ve got hats now with a wallaby front and center, and we’re actually going to continue to play under the West Windsor Wallabies name as we move into fall ball.”

West Windsor residents Friedman, Kempler, Sun, Lasky, McCarron, Naddelman and Cordasco factored prominently in the team’s success. They were part of a team that filled in the holes caused by injury and other commitments and brought the group its first regional berth.

“I think we had a lot of setbacks and I think tons of kids stepped up and it was just great to watch the team really come together,” coach Lasky said. “I would

say this is the most fun we’ve ever had a team. This is the best group of kids that we put together.”

McDowell was the workhorse pitcher for the Wallabies and Friedman filled in and ended up pitching just one-third of an inning fewer than McDowell over the summer. The 15s got a lift from an offense this year.

“Our hitting was just insane,” the coach said. “Our team batting average was .306 for the entire summer season which you really like to see from a team with five kids hitting above .400. We had for the first time kids hitting home runs on the big field, which was cool to see.”

Max Lasky homered in the regional tournament after WW-P showed in the state tournament that it belonged among the best. The 15s opened the state tournament with a 10-3 win over Millville, which would go on to avenge that loss and advance beyond regionals to the World Series.

“I would say it’s an incredibly successful season for us,” Eric Lasky said. “When we started the season off with two of our four pitchers being completely unavailable, I’m not sure we thought about our expectations, but the kids certainly performed far beyond our expectations.”
