Down the drain Sewer dispute leads Hamilton to file $2.8M lawsuit against Robbinsville
By micHele alPeRin 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 Improve- Capt.

By RoB antHes ranthes@communitynews.org Hamilton Township has filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Robbinsville, the latest twist in a months-long saga surrounding the regional sewer authority shared by the municipalities. Hamilton announced the litigation Aug. 26, one week after Hamilton Mayor Kelly Yaede’s administration came under fire for appearing to backtrack on a study to analyze the finances of the township sewer department. The Aug. 20 announcement that Hamilton would not agree to an independent sewer rate study shocked involved parties in Hamilton and Robbinsville, and raised questions about why the administration would not want it. These questions were the “final straw,” Hamilton Township business administrator Dave Kenny said in a township press release. The lawsuit seeks $2.8 million from Robbinsville, an amount the Yaede administration says its neighbor has not paid for increased usage of Hamilton’s sewer system. For months, Yaede has claimed that Robbinsville owes Hamilton’s sewer utility a seven-figure sum, but has been inconsistent in the exact amount, recently increasing the debt from $1 million to $2.8 million. She said in an interview with the Hamilton Post Aug. 22 that Robbinsville’s usage of the See SEWER, Page 10

Dress down for Duchenne Awareness Sept. 6 Hamilton-based nonprofit Ryan’s Quest is asking area businesses to participate in its Friday, Sept. 6 Dress Down for Duchenne Awareness Day. The goal of the corporate dress-down day is to raise awareness of Duchenne
muscular dystrophy, a progressive disorder affecting 1 out of every 3,500 newborn boys. Boys affected by DMD typically will lose their ability to walk between the ages of 8 and 12, require respiratory support by their late teens and survive only into their 20s. DMD has a 100 percent fatality rate, and there is no cure currently. Hamilton residents David and Maria Schultz started Ryan’s Quest in February 2008, after their then-2-year-old son Ryan had been diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy in December 2007. The Schultzes hoped to use Ryan’s Quest to find a cure to DMD. Ryan’s Quest continues with this mission, hoping to raise awareness with the purpose of getting funds allocated for research into a cure or treatment for DMD. The nonprofit will be accepting donations as part of the Sept. 6 dressdown day. Checks may be made payable to Ryan’s Quest. For more information, go online to ryansquest.org.

SEWER continued from Page 1 system has increased, from 15.9 percent in 2016 to 19 percent thus far in 2019. Fried said he has seen spreadsheets and press releases claiming his township owes Hamilton seven figures but never an actual, official invoice for the amount. “I’m feeling very confident saying that the mayor is not being truthful,” Fried said. Hamilton council president Jeff Martin said Yaede and her administration have never presented Hamilton Township council with documentation or proof that Robbinsville owes anything either. Martin is Yaede’s opponent for mayor in this November’s election. “This goes back to why we wanted the rate study,” Martin said. “It’s so we could actually see a calculation.” The study would review the usage of the township’s sewer system and the financial health of Hamilton’s Department of Water Pollution Control. The resulting data would project the next 10 years of the sewer system, and could potentially be used to put to rest long-lasting disputes between Hamilton Township council, the Hamilton administration and the government in Robbinsville, which uses Hamilton’s sewer plant and system. Yaede claims she and her administration have never supported such a study, despite public comments to the contrary. “I have never supported a rate study,” the Republican mayor said. “In a public meeting, Dave [Kenny] said he believed we’d be open to it. He never committed to it.” But a video obtained by the Hamilton Post shows Yaede is only half-right. While Yaede has never made a statement publicly supporting a rate study, three officials from her administration—including Kenny—said during a May 14 budget meeting with township council that they wanted the study or otherwise intended to begin the process of obtaining one. In fact, the suggestion for a rate study
originates from a Hamilton administration official, acting chief financial officer Phil Del Turco. The third official in the meeting was Water Pollution Control director Carrie Feuer, who also appeared to support the study. At the end of the five-minute video, Del Turco shares his appreciation for council’s enthusiasm for a rate study, saying the Glen Gilmore administration ignored his suggestion for a similar analysis a decade ago, when he served as CFO for the Democratic mayor. “In 2006, it fell on deaf ears,” he said. Martin, a Democrat, assured Del Turco council supported him in the effort. “It’s a non-partisan issue,” Martin said in the video. “We’re all on board.” The “we” includes the council and the administration in Robbinsville Township, which took the rate study so seriously that Robbinsville’s government even offered to foot half of the $30,000 bill despite its residents accounting for less than 20 percent of the sewer system’s usage. In May, the Yaede administration took official steps to cover its half, altering its sewer budget to add $15,000 to the line item entitled “Auditing.” The rate study, in theory, would clear up the dispute about how much Robbinsville should be paying into Hamilton’s sewer system. But Yaede said, in an interview with the Hamilton Post Aug. 22, that a rate study would do no good because it would take too long, and would not “break out” what Robbinsville owes for past usage. She alleges it’s merely a stall tactic by her township’s council. “There’s only one question to be answered: why is the Hamilton Township council delaying the payment from Robbinsville yet again?” Yaede said. “There have been a plethora of meetings and calls...In a year I cut taxes, why is the Hamilton Township council stalling?” Yaede’s opposition to the rate study
‘This goes back to why we wanted the rate study. It’s so we could actually see a calculation.’ –Hamilton council president Jeff Martin

has drawn suspicion from officials and residents in both towns, particularly because there have been questions about the finances of Hamilton’s Department of Water Pollution Control for months. The initial budget for WPC submitted to Hamilton council contained a handful of curious line items, including a 50-percent reduction for electricity at the treatment plant and a 40-percent decrease for the disposal of sludge, the solid byproduct of treating sewer waste. During a budget workshop in April, Martin raised these issues, asking Feuer, the WPC director, why the line item for electricity changed from $400,000 to $200,000, even though the treatment plant spent $367,000 on electricity in 2018. “Are we gonna spend 200?” Feuer responded. “Oh yeah, we’re gonna go right by that.” Feuer added later in the meeting that there was “no way” WPC could decrease the amount of sludge by 40 percent to match the cut in disposal budget. She also expressed concern about how little wiggle room she had in the budget. “If you come into the red, you’re going to be fired...Is it too close for me?” Feuer said. “Yes, it’s too close for me because I don’t want to come in in the red.” During the May 14 meeting meant to clear up questions with the sewer budget, Del Turco admitted the budget had distressingly little surplus. “It’s going to be tight,” he said. On Facebook, Hamilton Township CFO John Barrett suggested the administration might be concealing something. Barrett has been a vocal critic of the Yaede administration since it suspended him in January for what it said was an abuse of sick time.
“A rate study would expose the sewer utility as being insolvent and in need of a huge residential increase right before the November election,” Barrett wrote Aug. 22. “This increase was scheduled to happen in 2017, but Yaede directed [former business administrator John] Ricci not to execute the plan.” Fried said he is concerned about the possibility of a shortfall or insolvency, particularly because any financial problems with the sewer division could cost Robbinsville and its sewer ratepayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. “We shouldn’t be playing games with a sewer authority,” Fried said. “It’s a big deal. I don’t think Hamilton is taking it seriously.” Despite the animosity, Fried said he isn’t looking to end the joint sewer agreement Robbinsville has had with Hamilton since 1976. Robbinsville had previously considered building its own treatment plant off Line Road, and Yaede has all but dared Fried to make a move. “We have heard every excuse, from phony bills to the need for committees, with which we have obliged,” Yaede said. “If he thinks we are so far off with the flow calculation, then he can meet with us at DEP and immediately get out of our water system.” Fried said leaving Hamilton isn’t an option, due to the amount of infrastructure and money Robbinsville has tied up in Hamilton’s system. “I’m not 100 percent sure the state will allow us to pull out, and do sewer on our end or join another authority,” Fried said. “I don’t think the DEP would allow it. I don’t think the DCA would allow it. And I don’t think Hamilton could legitimately afford it.”

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.” 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.”

SANDERS continued from Page 1 donations have poured in from around the country. By Aug. 21, $18,111 had been raised, exceeding the initial goal by more than $10,000. Nearly 250 people and organizations donated, with the largest donation coming from Lawrence EMS FMBA 396, a gift of $1,000. On Aug. 9, Matt Sanders posted a message of gratitude on Facebook, which in part read, “The past few days have been tough and mentally draining. The amount of outreach and support has been more than I could have ever imagined...To everyone that has called, texted or stopped by to make sure we were OK and if we needed anything, I thank you. Thank you for everyone who donated time to clean out the basement, brought food, gave gift cards, donated money, gave us necessities. There’s not enough time to thank everyone personally, but I will do my best. This was one of the worst experiences of my life. To my brothers and sisters from the fire department, friends, family, co-workers and even complete strangers, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything you did and continue to do for me. I will never forget that.” Lt. Tim Sharpley is one of the people who have pitched in. A career firefighter at Station 13 and trustee of the Hamilton Career Firefighters Foundation, Sharpley has known the Sanders family since he was a kid. Sharpley was not on-duty at the time of the fire, but he heard about the incident just hours after it happened. Those who have jumped to help say it is merely a repayment of the years of dedication and community service Matt and Rich Sanders have given to Hamilton Township and the entire area. Rich has been a paramedic with Hamilton Township and then Robert Wood Johnson for decades, working to train many EMTs across the county. “They’re wonderful people,” Sharpley said. “They’re always willing to lend a helping hand.” Hamilton Township Fire District No. 9 Chief Mark Antozzeski served as incident commander during the fire. He said he received reports of heavy fire at the rear of a single-family home on Woolsey Street, but by the time he got on scene, much of the fire had been knocked down by crews that had responded first. Firefighters responded in good time
Matt and Rich Sanders have long been involved in emergency ser vices for the township. The community rallied to raise $18,111 after a fire destroyed their home Aug. 4, 2019. thanks to a Hamilton police officer who happened to be driving in the area, noticed the fire and called it in. Antozzeski said the outcome could have been much worse if not for the actions of the police officer, as well as the fast thinking and precautions taken by the Sanders family. “Matt and his family did everything right,” Antozzeski said. “They had working smoke detectors, and they slept with the bedroom doors closed. The doors held the fire at bay until he heard the alarm in the hallway. Being prepared really showed its value in this case. Things can still happen, and everyone should be prepared.” Antozzeski said utilities have been cut off to the house, and there is heat and smoke damage throughout the home. The structure is nowhere near in movein condition. Organizations like the Hamilton Career Firefighters Foundation have stepped in to ensure the family has support as it rebuilds. “It’s a very long haul,” Sharpley said. “They’re going to need help throughout the year. They have to rebuild. They’ve lost everything.” Donations can be given by dropping a check at any firehouse in Hamilton, or online through GoFundMe at gofundme. com/f/zf89d-helping-the-sanders-family..

Health official: town continues to lag in restaurant inspections By RoB antHes ranthes@communitynews.org Following a state decision to revoke the license of Hamilton Township’s health officer due to lagging restaurant inspections, the township health department reported last month that it had inspected less than 40 percent of the food retail establishments in Hamilton so far in 2019. Township environmental health specialist Lisa Surtes appeared before the township council during its Aug. 20 meeting, and said the health office had checked for violations at 185 of the 510 businesses in the township that sell food. (This includes schools, churches, retailers and other entities—not just restaurants.) Surtes assured the council—which serves as the township board of health—that she had confidence the township would inspect all 510 by the end of the year. This would be a change from last year, when the township did not inspect twothirds of the food retail locations in Hamilton in 2018, according to the township’s food safety database. The health department has been under scrutiny for more than a year, first because of conditions at the township animal shelter and now due to questions about how it inspects food retail establishments. In May, Mercer County Prosecutor Angelo J. Onofri announced that town-
ship health officer Jeff Plunkett, 62, and Todd Bencivengo, 56, each had been charged with two counts of third-degree animal cruelty and one count of seconddegree official misconduct. Bencivengo retired in March as the supervisor of the Hamilton Township Animal Shelter. Then, on July 10, the New Jersey Department of Health notified Plunkett of its intent to revoke his license, citing a failure to ensure safe and sanitary conditions at restaurants and the animal shelter in the township. Plunkett appealed the decision. No hearing had been scheduled yet, as of Aug. 22, according to the state Office of Administrative Law. Hamilton Township Mayor Kelly Yaede said in July that DOH’s argument is misleading because state and township codes do not explicitly require a restaurant be inspected annually. Instead, she said, it is the township’s understanding that the health department may inspect a restaurant as often as it deems necessary. This contradicts a statement made by Plunkett in December 2014, when he claimed township inspects every restaurant in Hamilton twice a year. Yaede also said, in an interview with the Hamilton Post, that Plunkett told the township board of health as recently as February 2019 that every attempt is made to inspect “major facilities” within the township every year. She did not specify what qualifies a business as major.

Mercer students find future in manufacturing The American manufacturing industry has gone high-tech, with thousands of open positions begging to be filled— and not enough workers to fill them. Enter Mercer County Community College, which is offering an advanced manufacturing program with two-year degree and certificate options. The showpiece of the MCCC advanced manufacturing program is its lab, which was constructed less than two years ago. Students can gain a basic understanding of precision machining first with more traditional equipment, such as drill presses and lathes, and move on to more advanced equipment, such as the CNC machines and equipment focused on metallurgy and how the properties of metals can change, such as the hardness tester. Even though advanced manufacturing at Mercer is still new, students are already seeking out the program for a variety of career objectives. Andrew Hanson, a recent graduate of Hamilton West, said he was investigating possibilities for a new major after first being interested in construction technology. Robotics and engineering also appealed to him. But he said that advanced manufacturing seemed to be a natural fit with several of his personal interests. “I’ve always been into building things since high school—I liked it a lot,” Hanson said. “I tend to do well in classes I really like.”
Mercer County Community College student Andrew Hanson, a Hamilton resident, shows off equipment in the advanced manufacturing lab. And the earning potential, he said, is a great added bonus. “I’m surprised not a lot more people aren’t doing this,” Hanson said. “There is a lot of money to be made. The people that do this type of work are retiring faster than they can be replenished.” Other students, however, are already
working in the field and are returning to Mercer to gain experience and training on the new state-of-the-art equipment to advance their careers. John Hagner of Hamilton has been working at VEP Manufacturing in Jackson for two years and is gaining the additional training with the assistance and support of his employer.
B
“I wanted to advance, and that is why I joined this program,” said Hagner, who is hearing impaired, through an interpreter. “This program is definitely more challenging, working with manual equipment all the way up to computer software. Sure we make mistakes, but that’s how you learn. That’s how you improve yourself.” Lawrenceville resident Ronni Blasz is another student who has enrolled in Advanced Manufacturing classes to advance her career—but as a teacher rather than as a machinist. She is currently working on her teaching certificate for technical education, and the Mercer program was a perfect fit. “It is a really good opportunity for people who want to become teachers; it’s a really good path,” Blasz said. “This could not be a better fit for me.” Blasz noted that she has been taking classes at The College of New Jersey to work toward her teaching certification, but there were no hands-on options like the MCCC Advanced Manufacturing classes. This, she said, will give her the background and experience to teach in her chosen field. “It’s a secret, and it shouldn’t be a secret,” Blasz said of the MCCC program. “I’m very thankful to have the opportunity to be here and take this class. I would not be able to get my teaching license if not for this class.” For more information, contact Michael Hanna at (609) 570-3828 or via email at hannam@mccc.edu.

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, whether you realize it or not. Howard Green, research director of the New Jersey Historical Commission put it like this: “It is one of the
A bridgtender’s house at Harrison Street in Princeton, along the D&R Canal. (Photo courtesy of Linda Barth.) 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 jour-
ney 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 See CANAL, Page 22

CANAL continued from Page 21 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.

Little Lads 10s reach World Series, make history By Rich Fisher The Hamilton Little Lads 10-year-old all-stars sat dejectedly moments after losing to Alabama in the Cal Ripken World Series semifinals, but manager Dan Tozzi quickly put everything in a necessary positive perspective. “They were so upset at the end of the game,” Tozzi said. “I told them, ‘There’s nothing to be upset about. You guys have done something no other team in the history of Hamilton Little Lads has done.’ They said, ‘What’s that?’ I said, ‘You went to the World Series.’” Indeed, no other Lads team had ever made it as far in Cal Ripken play. And that should mean a whole lot more to the players than one loss. Not since the Nottingham Little League and Babe Ruth League World Series teams of the 1990s had a recreation baseball squad energized Hamilton Township like this one. The interest was widespread, be it on social media or by watching live broadcasts of the games on YouTube. The support was incredible, as the league gained financial help from local businesses and received over $8,000 in its GoFundMe campaign. It helped curtail the costs of approximately $1,500
of lodging per family for 10 days in Phenix City, Alabama, and that cost didn’t even include food and travel. “With a nonprofit, it’s not like you’re just sitting around with money in reserve expecting something like this to happen,” first-year president Al DeLellis said. “So when they made the World Series, it’s like, ‘OK, we have two weeks before we send them off, let’s try and fundraise as much as we can and have the league make up the difference so we can get every kid there and the managers and coaches. We wanted to make sure the kids had no expenses. The parents would have to pay for from the perspective of lodging and getting there. “The generosity from everybody went above and beyond to donate. The support we got was tremendous. We didn’t expect that much, and what we got we were overwhelmed with. It was fantastic the way the town just took us in. Historically, the town has been focused on other leagues sometimes, but it didn’t matter. They were just happy that someone was representing Hamilton and New Jersey. We wouldn’t have been able to make the trip without them.” They not only made the trip, they gave the donors their money’s worth and then
some. After running roughshod through the district and state tournaments, Hamilton was expecting much tougher competition at the Mid-Atlantic Regionals in North Tonawanda, N.Y. It never came, as the Lads went 6-0 and outscored their foes by a combined 79-13. “They bought in,” Tozzi said of the league’s first-ever regional championship team. “They did everything we taught them in every aspect of the game. They were dialed in. I had a strong group of kids that just loved the game. They weren’t there because mom and dad wanted them to play, they were there because they wanted to play. They bought into what we were telling them, and we ran with them.” The World Series, however, would be a different story. As it turned out, it was a near Cinderella story with Hamilton coming so close to the glass slipper. Things started rough when the Little Lads went 0-3 in pool play. Fortunately, every pool team advanced to bracket play as they were just playing for seeding in the championship round. Hamilton fell to North Carolina, 6-3, Ohio Valley, 13-2, and Pacific South, 11-1, in pool play. What the heck happened? “I think, for a lot of them, it was their
first plane ride,” Tozzi said. “I don’t know if it was the plane, the excitement, media day, all the cameras. Was it the big stage? Because I’ll tell you, the first three teams we played, I didn’t see a team any tougher than the teams we played in states. The only good team we saw was North Carolina, and they ended up winning it all. We had them on the ropes the first game until their kid hit a grand slam and changed the complexion of the game.” The coaches’ biggest concern heading into the regionals was their players’ mindset, as they knew they had the physical talent. “Maybe the kids kind of mentally started blocking themselves of anything, thinking maybe we shouldn’t be there,” Tozzi said. “We told them, ‘No, you guys do deserve to be here. In two of the losses, you beat yourselves, they didn’t beat you. Forget the cameras, forget the stage, it’s still just a baseball game. You’re here for six innings. Forget the cameras and your favorite pizza and your favorite player, forget all the fans ringing the cowbells. You’re playing a baseball game.’ “I knew they had it in them, I knew they weren’t playing up to their game. I watched them play 14 or 15 games up to that point, I knew what they were capable

MINDful WELLness The Hamilton Little Lads 10-year-old All-Stars advanced to the semifinals of the Cal Ripken World Series in Phenix City, Alabama. Pictured are (front) Elijah Kerlin, Chase Whitman, Rocco Valentino, batboy Deacon Lether wood, AJ Liberto, Stephen Wright, Noah Kerlin, Jomar Olivero, (back) coach Stu Whitman, coach Chris Valentino, Janniel Hernandez, Asher DeLue, Daniel Tozzi, manager Dan Tozzi, Kaiden Hurley, Jose Calzadilla and coach Dan Kerlin. of. They just hadn’t played up to their full potential. I even asked them, ‘Is it the stage?” They said, ‘Well, there are a lot of cameras.’ I was like, ‘That means nothing. The camera ain’t throwing the ball, the camera ain’t catching the ball, the camera ain’t hitting the ball.’ And they actually came out and started playing ball again. The results were eye-popping, especially to fans from the rest of the country who had descended upon Alabama and thought Hamilton wouldn’t be much of a threat after its pool performance. The Lads opened with a 5-2 win over host Phenix City and followed with an 11-2 victory over California to land in the semifinals. In the semifinals, Hamilton carried a 2-1 lead into the top of the sixth before Alabama scored four runs for a 5-2 victory. “If they got to the championship game, I was going to set up a viewing party somewhere in the township,” DeLellis said. “A place where everyone could come together and watch them go for it.” As it was, the team received a wellearned celebration party at White Horse Fire Company on Aug. 25, where memories of an outstanding season were shared. The team consisted of Jose Calzadilla, Asher DeLue, Chase Whitman, Anthony “AJ” Liberto, Noah Kerlin, Jomar Olivero, Rocco Valentino, Daniel Tozzi, Janniel Hernandez, Stephen Wright, Kaiden Hurley and Elijah Kerlin, along with coaches Daniel Kerlin, Chris Valentino and Stu Whitman. Hamilton had eight players bat over .400 including Valentino (.597), Calzadilla (.541), DeLue (.526), Hurley (.512), Hernandez (.500), Liberto (.480), Tozzi (.466) and Whitman (.462). On the mound, DeLue and Hernandez led the way although 10 players actually saw time. Calzadilla and Liberto led the way in the World Series. It was a team effort from top to bottom, and the players were well prepared
for the tough competition after playing up in the Major Division against 11 and 12 year olds during the regular season. “In the past, it was only 11s and 12s together. This year all the guys on the all-star team played up with them,” DeLellis said. “They took some licks during the regular season, but ultimately we feel it better prepared them for their run once it came to all-star time. The competition got them to a higher level of playing field when they began playing age appropriately in the tournament. You saw how well-prepared they were when they got there. They were turning double plays like it was nobody’s business throughout all these tournaments. Their knowledge of the game seemed like it was above the threshold of other 10 year old teams.” And it led to recognition the league has rarely gotten. The local media regularly covers the District 12 tournament that is the start of the march to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, but shies away from covering Cal Ripken or all-star teams in any league under age 12. DeLellis noted that enrollment was up between five and 10 percent this year, and is optimistic the high-profile run made by the 10-yearolds could boost that even more. “A lot of kids think that Little League is the only one that has a World Series because it’s televised on ESPN and has a lot of hoopla around it,” the president said. “Hopefully, they saw this local team going as far as it did, and there is another World Series besides Little League. They see where this is something comparable (to LL) where you go out of state and get a life experience and things like that. We got some good press and articles that spread the word about the run we made, and hopefully that makes them more aware they can do this in another league as well.” It’s the kind of good stuff that can happen when a team makes history.
MINDful WELLness, located in Hamilton, is the furthest thing from an average gym. Its peaceful group environment provides a fun and educational fitness experience. Certified group fitness instructor, nutritionist, and life coach Noelmarie Rossi and Brad Sabo welcome clients of all ages to try a program personally tailored to them. “It’s for people who never worked out a day in their lives and for people who work out every day,” says Rossi. MINDful WELLness takes a client’s goal and helps them achieve it by working with the mind and the body. Rossi says “I believe if you don’t change the mind, the body is not going to change.” Their program is based on their five pillars of wellness: Focus, Fuel, Fitness, Forward, and Future. With Focus, Rossi helps clients discover why they might be having a hard time achieving their goals such as losing weight. Clients learn to realize their daily habits and beliefs that might be preventing them from reaching their ideal selves. “The Fuel portion of our program is personalized nutrition counseling and coaching,” Rossi says. “It’s about teaching our clients what their bodies nee, instead of restricting calories and fighting the yo-yo effect that comes with not fueling enough.” With Fitness, clients participate in small group exercise classes based on dynamic functional movement that targets the entire body head to toe. Workouts are based on the three natural planes the body moves on to help prevent injury. “You don’t have to compete with the person next to you,” Rossi says. Each exercise has different options and levels. On Saturdays, Rossi runs recovery classes that involve yoga and meditation. The Forward part of the program is about giving back, where members will be able to participate in charity events every eight weeks. “Brad and I want nothing more than to give back to the community. It’s a vital part of our program and a main reason why we opened MINDful in the first place.” With Future, Rossi encourages her clients to go out and teach others the healthy habits they learn at MINDful WELLness. “The idea behind Future is by teaching one individual, they will then pass their knowledge on to friends, family or co-workers, and before you know it, the one person whose life you changed, could very well change many more!” says Rossi. A client’s program is designed after they complete a member assessment and medical questionnaire to discover their goals. The program also uses an InBody machine that measures weight, water, and muscletofat ratio in every part of the body to discover how much fuel someone needs. Rossi and Sabo opened MINDful WELLness so that people can have a place to learn about what works for their body. Every client has Rossi as their trainer, life coach, and nutritionist. “It’s really a family environment that goes way beyond the four walls of the gym,” Rossi says. Classes are available on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with recovery classes on Saturday. Next 8 Week Mission begins Sept 23rd!

Papero living his dream as West football head coach By Rich Fisher Guard Tom Dolina played next to tackle Mike Papero on the right side of the Hamilton West offensive line in the autumn of 2000. The two have been tight ever since, and Dolina knows as well as anyone how important it was to his buddy that he got the Hornet head coaching job after Tom Hoglen stepped down last winter. “He wanted it very badly, and I don’t think I could have consoled him if he didn’t get it,” said Dolina, now the West defensive coordinator, with a smile. “He’s been coming to the games since he was a little kid. He watched the progression of Hornet football come back. Hamilton West football is in his DNA.” That comes as no surprise to pretty much anyone ever associated with West football over the last 30 years. When he was attending Rowan University, his predecessor already knew what Papero wanted. “When I was in college, Coach Hoglen knew I wanted to coach at West,” said Papero, who graduated in 2002 and played under Hoglen his senior year. “That was my first choice. I had never seriously thought about coaching anywhere else. It was Hamilton West or nowhere. And that’s even as an assistant. As a head coach, I would not put in for any other job. Teams could offer me other jobs, and I would turn them down.
Hamilton West football assistant coach Tom Dolina (left) discusses strategy with Hornets head coach Mike Papero. (Photo by Rich Fisher.) I was either going to be the head coach at Hamilton West or I wasn’t going to be a head coach anywhere.” It is no wonder athletic director John Costantino stated, “Papero was our natural choice.” “He’s a kid who grew up in the system,” the AD said. “He used to carry the
headsets around when his older brother played, and then came up through the program. He was a Hamilton West kid, he’s been involved in the program since he started teaching here. He bleeds Orange and Black football.” He had no other choice. It was all around him.
Growing up an extra-point’s length away from the school, he would step onto his front porch on a crisp weekend morning and hear the band warming up before a game. His dad, Pat Papero, founded the Hamilton Pop Warner League with Bud Ralston, and Mike played in the inaugural season for the Hornets. By then he had already been working the sidelines for the Keith Hartbauer-led Hornets varsity because he was one pound too heavy to play rec football on Saturdays. It was then that Papero realized his calling in life. “People think I’m crazy, but when I was about 9 or 10 and carrying the wires for Coach Hartbauer’s headsets, I was just kind of in awe of him and all the coaches,” he said. “At 9 or 10 years old, I wanted to be the next Keith Hartbauer. I remember all the phrases he would say and the way he would carry himself on the field, off the field. “Going back to the early 90s, I realized this is what I wanted. I still keep in touch with him and he always said, ‘You can’t be the next Keith Hartbauer, you just have to be Mike Papero.’ I made sure I remembered that; but I also made sure I remembered everything I learned from him and Coach Hoglen, Coach Norm Paul, Chuck Murphy, Mike Taylor and all the other guys.” By the time he was playing in high school—where he was part of a sec-

tional finalist team—Papero was already letting his inner-coach surface. “He was a football guy back then; he lived and breathed it,” Dolina said. “We all did to a certain degree back then, but he had the look in his eyes that not a lot of other people had. You could tell he was gonna make this his life in some way. I’m not surprised right now he’s got the head job.” Not surprisingly, he has embraced it. Once he was hired in March, Hamilton West Football became a brand name, popping up all over Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Pleas for artists to re-design the helmet logo appeared, or just shout-outs to Hornets past. “He’s all over social media,” Costantino said. “You look at the number of paraprofessionals we have coming back to help the program that were former players. That’s huge.” It was something the Hornets former offensive line coach felt had to be done. “Nowadays it’s more than just getting on the field and playing football,” he said. “It’s about getting the fans back again; getting people in the neighborhood to wear Hamilton football stuff. I didn’t have any social media before I put in for the head coaching job. Now I have it, I don’t put much personal stuff on there. It’s about Hamilton West football—I stay away from politics or anything that has to do with my opinion. I’m just trying to sell this program and get people excited. I want to see those stands packed on Saturday.” His defensive coordinator feels it is an aggressively positive game plan. “Besides head coach and tactician, he’s definitely the brand manager of Hamilton West football,” Dolina said. “He has an idea what he wants to be and he’s marketed it that way. When McDonald’s wants to sell a burger, they tell you this is the greatest thing ever. He’s selling Hamilton football right now but he’s also backing it up by saying we’re making our comeback, we’re gonna be winning and doing all the things we need to do to make it better.” Papero is quick to point out that any-

New ’Stars coach looks to develop more than athletes By Rich Fisher For the first time in 30 years, someone not named Jon Adams is head coach of the Nottingham High football team. And even if Milo McGuire guides the Northstars to an undefeated record and a state championship, it would only be a part of what he hopes to accomplish. “We’re trying to mold young men to be good, upstanding citizens in the community, and it starts here with us building a rapport with them; getting to that school, hitting those books,” said McGuire, who becomes the program’s third head coach since its inception in 1982. “We’ve seen tons and tons of athletes in this area who are good football players, or good whatever, and they make it nowhere because they don’t have grades. They don’t have the acceptance, they can’t get into college.” And to McGuire, that is more important than filling a trophy case. He points to former Northstars Saquan Hampton, a Rutgers product now with the Saints, and Zack Mesday, a sixth-year senior at Temple, as examples of what hard work can do. “What goal are we accomplishing by just winning a couple games?” said McGuire, whose regular-season debut will be Sep. 6 at Southern Regional. “I want them to win in their lives. I told the parents we’re taking SATs multiple times a year, we’re getting them in study halls, we’re getting them out of the hallways. If
Jon Adams hands off the title of Nottingham High School football head coach to Milo McGuire this season. (Photo by Rich Fisher.) you can’t fulfill those things in school, I can’t have you on my team. And that’s the bottom line. Eventually we’re gonna get these guys into schools at a more rapid rate, and the ones who get in aren’t going to be back here on the sidelines after one semester, they’re going to stay in school.” It is that kind of attitude and dedica-
tion that made McGuire a no-brainer when it came time for Adams to recommend his successor after taking over as the school’s athletic director in mid-June. The move was a popular one among players, parents, assistant coaches and pretty much anyone else who was paying attention.
When a newspaper account of McGuire’s hiring was posted on Facebook, it was shared more than 70 times. Long-time Nottingham assistant Bob Harris can understand why. He confirms McGuire’s comments about wanting to make better people as well as players. “He’s bringing a personal aspect to it, that he wants them to leave here better than what they came in as,” Harris said. “His attitude is wanting to take these emerging adolescents and make young men out of them. Not only does he worry about the Xs and Os, he’s worried about the academic part of it too. Putting things in place, making sure they’re taking their SATs more than once, making sure they’re getting good grades and following rules and regulations.” He wants to be their friends, but also needs to make sure they know he’s their coach. “He knows where to draw the line between friend and coach,” Adams said. “It’s like, ‘Hey, I love you, I respect you, I want you to be part of this program, but at the same time you gotta listen to what I’m saying and do the things you’re supposed to do.’” Adams saw all these qualities in McGuire when he pretty much gave him full head coaching duties on the field last year. Because of recurring knee surgeries, Adams was unable to stalk the sidelines and be upright at practices and said, “I basically empowered Milo

because he’s in the building and the football coach has to be in the building.” There were other candidates on Adams’ staff such as Frank Gatto, John Berei and Harris—all former head coaches—but none could devote the time that is necessary. He knew it was McGuire’s time, and so did McGuire. He had paid his dues. McGuire grew up in the football hotbed of Massillon, Ohio, and played for Washington High School—more commonly known as Massillon High School. The football program was the subject of an ESPN feature on the network’s search for Titletown USA. With 880 wins and 22 state titles, Massillon finished among the top four. The Tigers’ 16,600seat stadium is named after the legendary Paul Brown, who played for Massillon and began his coaching career there before moving on to a Hall of Fame career coaching the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals. Although he did not play on a state champion, McGuire was good enough to earn a scholarship to Wake Forest. After bouncing from one job to another in Ohio, he arrived in New Jersey to become a youth worker at a detention center in Newark. From there, he got a teaching job at Bogota in 2003 and became an assistant football coach there and at Paramus High before arriving in Hamilton to teach at Reynolds Middle School in 2007. Two years later, McGuire moved to Nottingham and coached freshman girls’ basketball before joining Adams’ staff in 2010. He coached the defensive line and served as JV coach for five years and last season was defensive coordinator and active head coach. There was also a stint as the boys’ freshman basketball coach. While at Bogota, McGuire was offered the head football job, but felt he wasn’t ready. After learning the ropes for 17 years, he feels he is ready and so does his predecessor. “He had a strong endorsement from myself,” Adams said. “There were other people who were interested and some
candidates out there who people talked about, but in my mind Milo was the man. He proved it last year without a shadow of a doubt. I was the head coach by name but I was not the guy running the day to day operations; he did that.” And his colleagues were in full agreement with McGuire’s promotion. “Oh yeah,” Harris said. “He has the experience. For most of the practice schedule, anything we think we might need, he puts into the schedule. He works with us.” Harris and Keith Zimmerman will run the offense this year while McGuire will continue as defensive coordinator; although he is looking for someone to replace him by next season. The challenge for the new man is not on the field, as much as off it as he found out this summer. “It’s a little daunting,” Harris said. “It’s not about coaching, either. It’s a lot of paperwork, getting guys where they’re supposed to be, talking to the parents. Stuff I wasn’t used to. It’s a lot different. Everything falls on me. The day-to-day and the stuff behind the scenes that nobody knows about, that takes some getting used to.” But when the whistle blows, he’s in his element. “Coaching on the field, that’s the easy part,” McGuire said. “That’s what we all love to do.” Which is why he goes to Adams for help in some areas, but looks to make his own way in others. “I tap into him a lot when it comes down to how to facilitate things outside of football,” McGuire said. “The fundraising, the parents, the emails; all the important things that I have to do on a daily basis that doesn’t have anything to do between the lines. So I’m talking to him all the time about that. “As far as inside the lines, I want to create my own path. So if there’s any question I’m not doing something correctly with the kids, I’m gonna ask. But other than that I want to build my legacy to show what I can do.” Most importantly, he wants that legacy to go far beyond winning football games.
‘What are we accomplishing by just winning a couple games? I want them to win in life.’ –Nottingham High football coach Milo McGuire

Steinert’s Calle confident after a lifetime of goalkeeping By Rich Fisher Kat Calle comes from a family full of soccer players, but she and her aunt, Carmita Maldonado, stand out as the eccentrics. “It’s funny, in my family I have all strikers and defenders on my dad’s side, and on my mom’s side I have one aunt who’s a goalkeeper,” Calle said. “They all say, ‘Oh you get this from your aunt on your mom’s side.’ We’re the oddballs of the family.” Steinert girls’ soccer coach Mike Hastings will take that kind of oddball any day. The senior returns for her second straight season as the Spartans’ starting goalkeeper. After splitting time on the freshman and JV teams in 9th and 10th grades, she earned the job last year and looked solid. “I hope she’ll follow the same path (former keeper) Erika Golik did for us where she had a good junior year but had a tremendous senior year,” Hastings said. “I’m hoping Kat takes that lead for us. She did all the work in the off-season, she got stronger, she got quicker. She looks like she’s ready.” Listening to Calle talk, she was born ready. Her parents, Rene’ and Martha, both played the sport in Ecuador before moving to Hamilton. Rene’ continued to play in adult men’s leagues at the Bob Smith Academy and in Cranbury, and Kat
loved to go watch him play. But he did not command her full attention, as her eyes often diverted to the men in goal. “My dad is my idol in soccer,” she said. “I’d always go see him. But what drew me in was the keepers when I went to see my dad play. When he’d make these phenomenal saves in midair, I was like, ‘Yeah!’ That just seemed amazing.” When Calle began playing in the Hamilton Recreation League at age 7, she was a forward. One day, when the coach asked who wanted to play in goal, her little arm shot up in the air and a high voice chirped, “Yeah, I’ll try it!” “Seeing I had the opportunity to go do it, I thought, ‘Maybe I’ll end up playing like my dad’s goalkeepers,’” Calle said. “Or even professional keepers like (Guillermo) Ochoa and Hope Solo. I looked up to them, too. “Surprisingly, I was really good at it. I wasn’t scared to come out, or chase the ball, or have a ball coming at my face. I had a lot of fun, and I still do have fun.” It was the beginning of a love affair that still burns brightly. Calle continued to divide time between goalie and striker for several years, but by the time she hit travel ball with the Hamilton Wildcats, she knew her calling was as a keeper. She remained in goal for travel teams in Robbinsville and the Princeton Soccer Association, as well as at Steinert. “I definitely knew I wanted to do it right away,” Calle said. “The more I did

(Photo by Rich Fisher.) it, the more I really enjoyed it. When I did these dives—diving here, diving over there—it felt great just flying in the air and hitting the ball. I’ve always gotten this adrenaline, and this really great feeling when I’m in the air hitting balls here and there.” Athleticism is certainly an important

aspect of the position, but so too is knowing the game and how to direct defenders. That was something Calle had to learn over the course of her first varsity season. “She’s gotten better at controlling the box,” Hastings said. “That’s one of the things her and I talked about, I told her, ‘You need to control that box more, know when to come out.’ She’s reading the game a lot better now. It’s just experience. Erika wasn’t even a goalie before her junior year, and it took her that year of playing the game, getting reads to get that experience. I think that made her much better. Kat’s been a goalie all her life, and has gotten better and better and better. It’s nice.” Calle agreed that her biggest lesson learned last year was communication with her teammates, as well as knowing when to make the right decision. “It was more like talking with my defense about when I come out,” she said. “Telling them I had the ball and making sure I was in the back and if they gave me the pass back I could distribute to the other side or send it over.” Amidst her growing pains, Calle helped the rebuilding Spartans finish 12-7 by making 83 saves, including 11 in a win over Hightstown. She recorded two shutouts and shared two others with Liz Mazzella, and was victimized by six 1-0 losses, including in the state and county tournaments.

“My first year, I’m not gonna lie, I was a little timid because it was such a big responsibility,” Calle said. “But I definitely learned a lot from my mistakes and from my team as well.” Coming into camp this year, she took nothing for granted despite the fact she was the incumbent starter. “I always have the mentality to keep working hard, keep earning your spot,” Calle said. “Just like coach says, you gotta earn your spot on the field, no matter what. Positions are always changing. Coming into this season I feel more confident now. I’ve done so much here and in travel and with my goalie trainer, that I just feel a lot more confident.” Which is good news for Steinert, since teams with a confident goalie also play confident themselves. “It’s great,” Hastings said. “You don’t have to cringe on every shot. You know if you have a good back line you’re not gonna let up goals a lot. That’s how the season’s gonna go this year.”
It helps that a veteran defense returns in front of Calle, including outside backs Nicole Pappas and Sophia Laico and central defender Morgan Hart. Brielle Spadola is a returning varsity player who will take over for the talented Gabby DeLisa. “The back looks pretty good,” Hastings said. “We have a lot of returning players who played a lot last year. We should be good. I like my team right now.” In the middle of it all is Calle, who hopes to continue her playing career in college. She is looking into Thomas Jefferson, Dominican, Caldwell and Immaculata, and is in the process of setting up overnight visits. That would make her not only the second goalie in the family, but the second one to play college soccer. Her cousin, Izzy Delgado, played for Mercer and New York Institute of Technology. If that turns out to be the case, there may just be something to this oddball status.

weight. Studies show that underweight women are more likely to give birth to small babies, even though they may gain the same amount in pregnancy as normal weight women. Overweight women have increased risks for problems in pregnancy such as gestational diabetes or high blood pressure. What are the exercise recommendations for women during pregnancy? Regular exercise, with the approval of your healthcare provider or midwife, can often help to reduce the physical discomforts of pregnancy and help with the recovery after the baby is born. Women who exercised and were physically fit before pregnancy can safely continue
An expectant mother should also restrict her intake of caffeine and artificial sweeteners. All alcohol should be avoided in pregnancy. What are the required check-ups during pregnancy? Typically, routine checkups occur once each month for weeks four through 28, twice a month for weeks 28 through 36, and weekly for weeks 36 to birth.

10 questions with Micheal Madigan By Thomas Kelly Micheal Madigan is a Hamilton-based painter. I have admired his wonderfully colorful acrylic paintings for a long time. He recently sat down over a glass of shrub, on a hot day, to tell me where his work comes from, the method and then a peek into his studio. Shrub is a drink made from concentrated syrups mixed in tasty combinations. Can these recipes be relatable to Madigan’s paintings? You tell me. What are you communicating to the viewer with your art? I am actually not communicating. I am trying to evoke conversation from the viewer. My current work has its origins in my memories from travels and specific places. What media and support do you use and why? The acrylic paintings are made on panels, which are plywood mounted on a more rigid frame. I do a lot of subtracting or removing of layers of paint with sandpaper and other tools. Using panels allows me to remove layers of paint with much vigor. Is your work is based on places or memories or both? Both. I paint layers of memories from places to which I have travelled. The colors and shapes are reminders of specific places, like the old city part of Barcelona, for example, from which I relate certain colors and patterns. What is your process? From my research trips to Europe and North America, I take many photos. Photos not of specific landmarks or scenery, but of the whole scope of what I am seeing. From these photos, I will filter down to a handful that depict
Hamilton-based artist Micheal Madigan uses color and pattern to evoke conversation with the viewer, as he did in “Saunter” above. my experience. These photo memories will be the basic layers of memories that make it to the single painting. I will choose whether the painting will have a warm or cool tone to it and begin. A trip to Ireland in 1997 changed my outlook. My work had been totally abstract and non-objective before but now these
ancient sites really drew my attention and my need to portray them. Do you work on your art every day? I am a full-time painter. This is what I do. I’m a lucky guy. We live modestly, but I paint full-time. I start around 8, paint for a few hours, take a break and have lunch. Then I paint for a few hours
more, wrapping up around 4. Then I like to make dinner for my wife Elaine and me. Are you drawn to certain shapes or patterns? The colors and shapes I use are memory prompts for me. I am drawn to ancient places. I like to see where life and civilizations came from and which direction they took afterward. Some of my favorite places are the Northwest U.S., France, Italy, Ireland and, best of all, Spain. Locally, where do you like to eat? We like Mama Rosa’s, Spigola to celebrate a painting sale, Brothers on Route 33 and Golden Dawn. Tir Na Nog is good place for live music. What fight/struggle do you have regarding your art? One word here: storage. I paint on the large side and live in a modest home and studio. Thank goodness many paintings are in galleries or collected. Is this area supportive of the arts? This area is excellent. By area, I mean from New York to D.C. and out to Pittsburgh. This region is very supportive of the arts or else I could not do what I do. What is on the horizon? I will travel for research to the Pacific Northwest soon, to study the history and culture. Many ancient cultures lived where the land and sea come together. After this, I will continue the body of work based on these places. For more information, go online to michealmadigan.com.

For most of my life, my experience with summer sleepaway camps was limited to movies, books, and the 1963 Allen Sherman novelty song “Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh (A Letter from Camp)”. My wife’s experience was similar, except at some point she became convinced that sleepaway camp would be a great thing—for everyone involved. Last year, we visited Camp Expo at Quaker Bridge Mall—an appropriate venue, since, in this generation’s age of internet shopping, actually going to a mall to buy something is itself an unusual, sometimes difficult, character-building experience. Camp Expo was short for Camp Exposition, not Camp Exposure (which would be an iffy name in the outdoorssurvival sense, or in the privacy-in-the showers sense). The Camp Exposition lived up to its name, as table after table of exhibitors handed out brochures and talked at length about the offerings of their particular camp. There were camps of all types— sports camps, science camps, academic enrichment camps, arts camps, equestrian camps, and even camps that emphasized mindfulness, attentiveness, and focus, which are difficult concepts to explain in a 30-second pitch. Our children would be first-time sleepaway campers, and we wanted a traditional, unspecialized, camp camp, the kind immortalized in the aforementioned movies, books, and song, but minus the plot-driven shenanigans. Our internet-aided search took us (metaphorically speaking) to a number of YMCA camps, starting with the YMCA of the Pines in Medford, which is further broken down into Camp Ockanickon for boys and Camp Matollionequay for girls—there’s something about those names that just oozes outdoor authenticity. In contrast, we also considered the less-inspiringly named Camp Bernie in Port Murray and Camp Mason in Hardwick. Also in Medford was the ominous-sounding Camp Dark Waters—because there’s no better way to stop kids thinking about home than to get them focused on their own immediate survival, and what might be living under the “dark waters.” After an open house visit, the kids decided on Camp Mason for two weeks of overnight adventure. If Hardwick sounds familiar to you, there are a few possible reasons why, one of which is that a year ago, a fugitive fled into the woods and hid there. Another is that nearby Boy Scout Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco was the filming location of the movie Friday the 13th. Forget murky water, our kids were heading into the heart of darkness. The camp rules were mostly as expected, except for one: the only communications to and from campers would
be old-fashioned, hand-written, 55 centsa-pop letters. A strict no-electronics rule would be enforced, extending to smartphone, iPad, Nintendo DS and Switch, and most of the contents of my son’s room. We assured him that we had not entrusted his care to a Luddite cult of anti-technology zealots, but I’m not sure he was convinced. Dropoff at camp went smoothly, though my wife and I still harbored some guilt and worry. Among the preparatory material we had carefully reviewed was advice on how to respond (and how not to respond) to a child’s letter expressing homesickness. Templates and form letters were available, and I’d thought briefly about my own amusement in simply sending a printed copy of one of these letters while “forgetting” to insert my own children’s names, addressing it instead, in a most heartfelt fashion, to “Dear Camper.” But after saying goodbye, I found myself dreading the prospect of actually receiving such a letter. Luckily, within a few days, dispatches from our children arrived, assuring us they were having a great time, at which point our parental concern gave way to parental bliss. We ate at restaurants that didn’t list their menus on the wall behind the cash register. We went for long, leisurely walks and outings without being serenaded by a chorus of complaints, and came home to a quiet, unchaotic house. But if there’s such a thing as a house that’s too quiet or not chaotic enough, it was that, too. Despite the many benefits of childless freedom, we missed the little scamps. On pickup day, our kids seemed more than two weeks older as they told us of their exploits. They had boated, climbed, and arched (Someone find that sport a verb!). They’d hiked, they’d swum, they’d survived—survival class, and the camp experience in general. They spoke of attending next year as a fait accompli. It’s worth noting that even though “Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh” only spans three minutes, most people forget that it’s got a happy ending, with the child narrator telling his parents to disregard the list of grievances that make up most of the song. As we drove away from camp, I looked in the rear-view mirror and snuck a satisfying peek at our increasingly self-sufficient children— back safely with their parents again, ensconced among pillows and sleeping bags, their faces lighted once again by the soft, familiar glow of electronic device screens.

SHE SAID, SHE SAID
Greetings from another near-miss in Asbury Park By Samantha Sciarrotta ssciarrotta@communitynews.org Living in Central Jersey, you probably know someone with a Bruce Springsteen story. A cousin who ran into him in Red Bank. An uncle who bummed a cigarette off him in 1978. A friend of a parent’s friend who swears he helped Bruce change a tire on 539. The man’s ubiquitousness is legendary. He’s spotted at the gym, down the shore, watching football at a bar in Asbury Park. People can’t help but wonder if he’ll pop up at any local event that has even a whiff of relation to Springsteen. A Steven Van Zandt concert? Springsteen Appreciation Night at a Lakewood Blueclaws baseball game? Literally any performance in the State of New Jersey? Someone will whisper, “I heard Bruce is gonna pop up here tonight.” And yet I, a certified Bruce Freak, have not had my face-to-face moment with The Boss. I’ve had many close calls, but it’s never quite worked out. Last month, though, I got the closest I might ever come. Every so often, we get PR emails for events like album release parties and
local film premieres. Blinded by the Light, a movie about a Pakistani teenager living in England who falls in love with Bruce’s music, was released in August, and the premiere was held in Asbury Park. Somehow, we were placed on an agency’s mass mailing list for the event, and when we were invited to cover it, I jumped at the chance. Literally. I leapt out of my chair and ran into managing editor Rob Anthes’s office to ask if I could go. He OK’ed it, so I replied to the email with my name and outlet, and they told me I could pick up my press credentials at the event. I left the office early and headed down to Asbury, excited but also trying not to get my hopes up in case something went wrong. I wasn’t even really expecting Bruce to be there! I was just excited to cover a real premiere and finally see the movie I’d been looking forward to for the last several months. I think you can see where this is going. I got there and walked around in search of a person with a clipboard and press passes. I’ve never really covered an event like this before, so I spent a lot of time wandering around Convention
Hall, nervous, sweaty, hungry, and very, very stressed. I meandered from booth to booth trying to find a place to plant myself while fans and guests started to gather around the red carpet. The normally spacious Convention Hall was starting to feel claustrophobic. Finally, I found the press manager. I gave her my name and outlet and waited for my press pass. My information wasn’t on the list. I didn’t argue or even really try to figure out what happened. I stuck around for another half hour or so, wondering what could have caused the mixup. I went back and forth between a couple of different reception booths, checking with other staff members just to be sure. Then I just accepted my fate and left. Of course, as soon as I got home, my social media feeds were packed with pictures of Bruce walking the red carpet. Later on, he performed with Southside Johnny at a media-friendly party after the screening. My streak of near-misses remains unbroken. I have just accepted my fate. I am in full “I’m not mad, I’m actually laughing” mode.

I’ve seen Bruce in concert many times. I won the online ticket lottery for Springsteen on Broadway and was extremely lucky to see the show for a really, really, REALLY discounted price. I was there when he joined Patti Smith onstage at the Beacon Theater in New York last April. All told, I’ve had it pretty good as a Bruce fan. But, perhaps selfishly, I still crave my own personal Bruce story. This is all to say that my anxietyinduced stomach pains would hit immediately after coming within 100 feet of him. Frankly, I don’t think I would be able to approach him for a number of different reasons—not wanting to bother him, not knowing what to say, being too overwhelmed by the sheer presence of one of my favorite people on earth. It’s all too much! Maybe this is all for the best. Sure, I don’t have a Bruce story. But I do have a handful of near-misses. And I’ve convinced myself that’s a pretty good tradeoff.
