Lidl to open at shopping center By roB antHeS

ranthes@communitynews.org

Less than a year after Lawrence Shopping Center lost the tenant of its supermarket anchor, a new grocer confirmed it will be filling the spot. Germany-based market Lidl is in the preliminary planning phases for the former Acme location on Brunswick Pike, a company spokesman said, adding that it is too early to offer a specific time frame for the store’s opening. “However, we can tell you we plan to put a store in this location,” Lidl’s Chandler Ebeier said in an Aug. 7 email. “We believe Lidl’s award winning shopping experience will be a great

addition to the Lawrenceville community.” The new tenant would fill a large void in the shopping center, a 39,681-square-foot anchor at the plaza’s northeast corner. When Acme closed the 2497 Brunswick Ave. location last August, it was the first time in generations there wasn’t a grocery store in that spot. Acme had operated there since November 1979. Food Fair and Pantry Pride also have occupied the unit. Acme made the decision to leave the shopping center in July 2018 in part because the Lawrence store had not met corporate goals for a number of years, Acme spokesperson Dana Ward said at the time. Since then, fortunes have

turned some for Lawrence Shopping Center. Construction began in mid-July 2018 on updating the facade of the entire complex, fulfilling a vow by owners JJ Operating to invest $5 million into capital improvements at the shopping center. Bury the Hatchet, an ax-throwing entertainment center, opened in the center in late 2018. A L.A. Fitness gym has long been confirmed for the plaza, with construction imminent. And, in late July, township manager Kevin Nerwinski shared on social media that auto parts store AutoZone had executed a lease in the shopping center. Lidl now joins the list. LawSee LIDL, Page 5

To recycle, or not to recycle? Most residents don’t know the answer, and that’s causing soaring costs 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 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 Lawrence. “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 See RECYCLING, Page 6

Supply free menstrual products Even in a presidential election cycle with a historic number of highly qualified women candidates, a problem that continues to go unaddressed by any major candidate for President is the ongoing period poverty crisis in America. From Notre Dame High School, one of over 330 chapters of PERIOD, a youth-led nonprofit group focused on championing menstrual equity, let me explain why candidates need to speak out and directly address access to menstrual products. Access to menstrual hygiene products is restricted because of sexist and discriminatory perspectives that translate into willful ignorance and harmful policies. The same bias that has me and fellow PERIOD activists fighting for schools to supply free menstrual products in public restrooms is the same reason 35 states still classify period products—like tampons, sanitary napkins, and menstrual cups—as luxury items. (Toilet paper isn’t a luxury item. Why are tampons?) Trust us, it’s no luxury to have your period—especially if a regular supply of menstrual hygiene products are out of your reach. Period poverty, or the lack of access

to menstrual products, increases the risk of toxic shock syndrome, cervical cancer, and other dangerous infections as a result. And though I can’t cite government data because these issues have been almost entirely ignored by research to this day, there is anecdotal data to indicate nearly one in five young American menstruators have either left school early or missed school entirely because they did not have access to period products. No one should be held back by their body’s naturally occurring processes. Everyone should be empowered to reach their full potential—to be seen and supported. At Notre Dame High School, we’ve launched a campaign asking our administrators to address the issue. Next year will see free period products in our bathrooms, provided that we are able to purchase dispensers. Period poverty is a serious but solvable problem resulting from gender bias. I need to hear from each 2020 presidential candidate how they will design policy that appreciates and accommodates everyone’s basic needs. Bridget Hoyt and Caitlyn Kelley

LIDL continued from Page 1 rence will be one of the first communities in the United States to have a Lidl market, with the company starting its expansion into the United States just a few years ago, in 2017. It has focused on the East Coast, with markets ly in Virginia, dCarolina, n North Carolina, South Marye i fr land, Georgia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The closest Lidl to Lawrence currently is in Hazlet, about 40 miles away. Lidl opened its first store in 1973, near Frankfurt, Germany. Today, it has 10,500 stores in 29 countries.

The closest comparison to Lidl is its German counterpart, Aldi. About 90 percent of products at Lidl stores are pro brand. Customthe company’s private ers provide their own bags. The product assortment changes about twice a week, meaning that in addition to grocery items, things like small appliances, kitchen gadgets, clothing, toys, power tools, home décor and gardening supplies can be found at Lidl from time to time. All this is done, the company says, in the name of passing savings on to its customers.

RECYCLING continued from Page 1 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. “Some residents think they are doing the right thing by putting the recycling in a bag 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 addi-

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

cials 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, 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 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, sidewaysmoving 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

A bridgtender’s house at Harrison Street in Princeton, along the D&R Canal. (Photo courtesy of Linda Barth.) 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.

Construction begins on warehouse By Samantha Sciarrotta

Construction has started on a 340,000-sq.-ft. warehouse on Princess Road being developed by PSIP Metrix Princess Road LLC. The Lawrence Township Planning Board unanimously approved the site plan over the objections of nearby residents at its Dec. 3, 2018 meeting. Crews have been out on the site for most of the summer surveying and razing the land. The facility will be located at the bend on Princess Road, near Hub Distributing. The potential traffic implications of a new warehouse have some locals worried, though. Over the last year, residents of a housing development located on Princess Road near Franklin Corner Road have expressed concern over noise and diesel exhaust pollution that could accompany increased truck traffic. Residents in the Gatherings at Lawrenceville, a 55-plus community, have been expressed their concerns at a number of planning board meetings, citing past problems with trucks in their community generated by existing businesses on Princess Road. The Gatherings Homeowners Association president James Loper presented a petition at a planning board meeting last November, citing previous incidents with tractor trailers that included landscaping, signage and fire hydrant damage near the roundabouts on Princess Road in the development.

The Gatherings sued the planning board after it approved the facility’s application in December. That suit has since been withdrawn, said township manager Kevin Nerwinski. One of the warehouse’s conditions of approval states that trucks will not be permitted to access or leave the facility through The Gatherings. At a planning board meeting last October, Nerwinski also suggested asking businesses to stagger their deliveries or adding signage and increasing police presence on Franklin Corner Road. Some residents, though, would rather see Princess Road blocked off. In that case, the only access to commercial buildings on the road would come from Princeton Pike. Nerwinski said Princess Road will be closed off from Franklin Corner Road once development of the warehouse is completed in order to prevent trucks from traveling through the neighborhood. The township will then study the impact of the road closure. “Hopefully, this will work, but we will not know until it is done,” Nerwinski said. “If the closing of the road is causing other traffic issues in the area, we may have to reopen the road.” Access to the warehouse will be provided through two driveways that will connect with Princess Road at the driveways for 9 and 11 Princess Road, creating a four-leg intersection. Lawrence municipal engineer James Parvesse said construction is estimated to last 12 to 18 months.

Building — and Keeping — a District Equity Culture

More Class III officers planned for new year Coverage planned for elementary schools

Focus as school year kicks off

About the same time, a team of around 15 LTPS administrators began participating with teams across Mercer County in bi-monthly equity sessions facilitated by Dr. Eddie Fergus, Temple University professor and author. At these sessions, the Lawrence team works to identify potential barriers that exist within our district’s curriculum and programming. The team follows-up monthly, between meetings with Dr. Fergus, to work on plans to address focus areas identified in the equity meetings.

awrence Township Public Schools (LTPS) is proud of its diversity and renowned character education program. Collectively, we collaborate with staff, parents, and other stakeholders in an effort to provide the best education possible for all learners. Starting in the 2017-18 school year, LTPS established a district-wide equity committee to help foster a culturally responsive learning community for all students.

The district’s plan for professional development for the 2019-20 school year is heavily grounded in equity. Fergus will facilitate equity conversations with LTPS staff during the November 6th professional development day. Additionally, we will provide training around data collection and analysis, as well as student-centered learning, both of which will promote equity in our schools.

he new school year will see two additional Class III officers come on board in our schools. Once again, the Lawrence Township Municipal Government and our district have joined forces and will share the cost of putting these additional safety measures into our buildings.

The two new officers will cover our four elementary schools. Plans call for the officers to begin during this school year, and interviews are in the works as we go to press. Officers were added to our district’s three largest schools at the beginning of the last school year. School Resource Officer Suzanne Girard is at Lawrence High School, Class III Officer Rick Doldy safeguards (continued page 4)

Parents/guardians, can we reach you in an emergency? Do we have your correct contact info?

Picture this. You help your child get ready for school one morning and make sure she safely gets on the school bus. She’s having a good morning and excitedly goes out for recess. Playing a running game, your child bumps heads with another student. They fall to the ground, both with bleeding head wounds and stunned expressions. We need to reach you. Can we? Every year parents should update student information and emergency contacts in our online system. It’s easy...no more piles of forms! Having this information is critical in situations such as the one described above, when a child is missing, or when the district is having an emergency. Within the same online student information update program, parents can give permission

for the district to use their child(ren)’s photo, and possibly name, in our publications, on our website and/or social media, and/or with the media. Additionally we’re making more and more videos of the wonderful happenings in our classrooms. We hope you’ll give careful consideration to giving us media permission for your child so we can include him or her as we proudly share and celebrate the accomplishments of students, staff, and district programs. Details about how to update your information will be sent home with students at the beginning of school. Anyone with an address change must schedule an appointment with the district registrar to verify residency. The appointment may be scheduled online when you update your contact information.

Get in the game! Be part of the excitement of Cardinal sports and take in a few games throughout the year. Most fall and spring games are on our new artificial turf fields. Attend during the day or in the evening under the lights. Check schedule: https://www.ltps.org/Page/1605

Transportation Talk Bus Passes

Students should already have received their bus passes. If they have not or if you have questions, contact the Transportation Office at (609) 671-5443, 671-5444, or 671-5445.

PM Childcare

Will your child need an alternate drop-off location because he/she will attend childcare after school? Please complete a Childcare Provider Transportation Request form* before the start of the school year and we will make every effort to accommodate your needs. Remember: these requests must be for five (5) days per week and a new form must be submitted each year.

Some TLC for our Youngest Riders

For many children, riding a school bus for the very first time can be a bit overwhelming. To help ease some of these tiny tots’ anxieties, on the first day of school we will provide students in Kindergarten with a “bus tag,” which clearly displays each student’s bus number and bus stop information. The tag will allow for school officials to help your child get on his or her assigned bus quickly and efficiently, and will ensure he or she exits at the designated stop. This will relieve some concerns, as the responsibility will not be on the children to get on the right bus when they have so many new thoughts going through their minds already! The bus tag will not replace your child’s bus pass, but will serve as an extra step towards making dismissal time and each student’s trip home a smoother experience. Your child’s safety is our first priority. Together we can make sure all students are safe, prepared, and comfortable. •

The purpose of IMPACT at Rowan is to increase the representation of males from racially and ethnically diverse backgrounds in the teaching profession. Lawrence is looking to host a visit from their program. The visit is to identify potential staff recruits, to expose Lawrence students to scholarship opportunities available through such a program, and to encourage more of our outstanding students to enter the teaching profession. Finally, Clifford Williams, Lawrence High School assistant principal, and Sean Fry, LTPS

director of personnel, currently are serving as core team members of New Jersey’s Diverse Learner Ready Teacher (DLRT) Initiative. Williams travelled to Chicago last October for the inaugural convening of states committed to diversifying the teacher workforce. Both Williams and Fry traveled to Washington, D.C. in June 2019 for the Mid-Atlantic meeting of DLRT teams. While there, they worked with other state teams to develop action plans for their respective states around enhancing diversity among staff and promoting culturally responsive curriculum and teaching within New Jersey. — Sean Fry Director of Personnel

Before the start of school, walk with your child to his /her designated bus stop and review “safe walking” and “safe waiting” behaviors. Leave home early enough to arrive at the bus stop 10 minutes prior to pick-up time. It is essential for the safety of all students that they wait for the bus...not the bus waiting for them. This also ensures a timely arrival at other stops and at school. Just as you teach your child to buckle up as soon as he/she gets in your car, remind them to do the same on the school bus. Make sure your child is comfortable and familiar with any emergency contacts who might pick him/ her up if you are not available. Teach your child what to do and who they can talk to if they ever have a concern. Remind students to respect their crossing guard, their bus driver/aide, and their fellow riders at all times.

The D.A.R.E. mission is “Teaching students good decision-making skills to help them lead safe and healthy lives.”

New Jersey law mandates all children ages 18 and under have health insurance. In conjunction the state established NJ FamilyCare. This is a federal- and statefunded health insurance program created to help New Jersey’s uninsured children and certain low-income parents and guardians to have affordable health coverage. It is not a welfare program. NJ FamilyCare is for families who do not have available or affordable employer insurance, and cannot afford to pay for private health insurance. The NJ Department of Education requires school districts to obtain health insurance information from their families as well as permission to share the information with NJ FamilyCare. Par-

A note from the School Nurse: Upon enrollment into school, the school nurse shall notify parent(s) or legal guardian(s) of the importance of obtaining subsequent medical examinations of the pupil at least once during each developmental stage: at early childhood (pre-school through grade 3), pre adolescence (grades 4 through 6) and adolescence (grades 7 through 12).

SPORTS

Kwasniewski excels on the pitch and in the pool By Rich Fisher Ola Kwasniewski readily admits diving is her main sport. But Lawrence High coach Megan Errico is certainly happy Kwasniewski enjoys dabbling in field hockey; especially since she “dabbles” better than a lot of players who give it their full attention. “I think this is her best sport, but she broke two (school) records last year as a diver and she dives for a club team as well,” Errico said of her senior midfielder. “She’s a vital position on our corners and as a midfielder she connects very well with Talia (Schenck) in terms of her passing and receiving. She could literally play any position. I could put her at sweeper, and she would dominate.” Kwasniewski will be a key figure on a veteran Cardinal team coming off a 10-9 season. Lawrence returns record-setting sophomore Schenck, who had 39 goals and five assists last year. Also back are nine other regulars, including seniors Nicole Seeburger, Jenna Cahill, Carlie Brummel, Steph Meda and goalie Maddie Wingerter, along with juniors Ashley Belgrave, Brooke Roslon, Olivia Szela and Haley Adamczak. “We didn’t lose anyone so we we’re pretty excited to start the season since we were all together last year,” Kwasniewski said. “We know how to play with each other. I love this team, it’s the best team we’ve had. I love Lawrence. It’s really fun this year because it’s my last year.” Errico shares her midfielder’s excitement. “It’s definitely the most experienced and loaded team we’ve had,” said Errico, now in her seventh year as head coach. “We’ve definitely been working on building the program. Since OG (assistant Katie O’Gorman) and I started together five years ago, we’ve come a long way. “I’m just very excited. We have seniors who have been playing together since middle school. All six seniors have been playing since freshman year. When I was JV coach and doing rec field hockey in the winter, Nicole Seeburger and Jenna Cahill played for me when they were really little. So it’s exciting to see them finally at the level of where we are.” That excitement could be seen over the summer, when the Cardinals attended Pennington and Rider summer camps while also working out with Errico. “They worked hard this summer,” the coach said. “I’m really looking forward to it. Maddie Wingerter is our goalie, we also have a sophomore and a new freshman goalie, so that’s the first time we ever had depth at that position. That’s exciting.” Helping to bring it all together is Kwasniewski, who is not big on statistics but huge on doing what it takes to win.

Ola Kwasniewski’s main sport is diving, but she has become an asset for the Lawrence High School field hockey team. (Photo by Rich Fisher.) Already a diver, she added field hockey to her activities when a friend talked her into going out for the middle school team in seventh grade. She loved it right away despite the constant whistles that seemingly baffle every newcomer. “At first I was like ‘Wha…what? I don’t know what’s going on...but I’ll just go with it,’” she said. “I really loved it.” During her freshman year, Kwasniewski showed some talent, but not enough confidence to make varsity right away. “She came out as a freshman, didn’t have very much experience, was really quiet and timid but has become one of our best players,” Errico said. “Freshman year, we pulled her up. She would have started but she was very quiet. The biggest thing about her that’s amazed me is she really found her voice. She’s become a leader and she can command the field, where freshman year I don’t know if I ever heard her speak. So I’m just really proud of her for that.” Ola felt it was just a matter of getting acclimated. “I was nervous with all the upperclassmen and seniors,” she said. “Everyone usually is. But I became friends with all of them and opened up a little bit.” That made all the difference. When Kwasniewski returned as a sophomore, she earned the starting right midfield spot and has been there ever since; although she does go all over the field and will often switch with the left midfielder. Her value takes on many levels but one of her best attributes is being able to bring the ball up the sideline. “When we lost Olivia Corso, who was really good at bringing it up the right, Ola was able to take that position,” Err-

ico said. “In field hockey, you use the sidelines as an advantage for you. Now we use her on the left side. Last year, we had her mostly on the left. So she’s interchangeable. We really cut out a centermid last year, and Ola and whoever was on the other side would just switch back and forth to support Talia, and they’ve been able to connect.” Much of it has to do with Kwasniewski’s versatility. “I usually switch left or right, sometimes I play middle, it really depends on where the ball goes,” she said. “I’m more of a dribble and pass person. I’m just trying to pass it to Talia or whoever. Everyone on the team is great. All the forwards are really good.” Having such skills to facilitate comes from being able to keep the ball one one’s stick. “She’s pretty incredible,” Errico said. “Her stickwork is absolutely incredible. She plays with poise and precision. And she’s really developed from not speaking and only being able to pass the ball 10 yards; to somebody who can flick and reverse shot and pass from the field with her drives. Her and Talia are going to definitely be a force to be reckoned with this year.” Kwasniewski learned her skills at the

USA Futures Camp, which she attended during her freshman year. “Futures really got me started, it helped a lot,” she said. “I just worked on my stick skills a lot, dribbled through cones every day and just got better at it.” Kwasniewski was planning on going to Princeton’s field hockey camp, but she had too many people urging her to focus on diving, since that is what she wants to do in college. Kwasniewski broke the Cardinals six-dive and 11-dive records, and then broke her own six-dive record. She is in the process of deciding where to go next year. “I do field hockey in the fall, and if I have time, I’ll do some diving,” she said. “After field hockey ends, I focus mainly on diving. But I love field hockey. I love playing with my teammates, just dribbling and scoring. It’s so much fun.” When she’s not playing sports, Kwasniewski belongs to Lawrence’s International Alliance, along with Operation Smile, which helps children with cleft palates. It’s only fitting Kwasniewski is in the latter club, since her zeal to play her “other” sport makes her teammates and Errico smile.

Kildea ready to compete after year-ending injury By Rich Fisher

Rob Radice is back, and so is Matt Kildea. The return of the former was greeted with a tad more fanfare than the latter, but both are extremely key figures in the Lawrence High football program. In fact, Radice said Kildea, a senior tight end, “is kind of the piece that makes our offense work.” Radice begins his second tenure as the Cardinals head coach after a five year sabbatical in which he served as an assistant at Hopewell Valley and Lawrenceville. He had a successful run during his first stint, including a trip to the state finals, but stepped away to enjoy family life. “I had a great experience when I left here, spending time with my kids seeing them play their sports,” Radice said. “The job came open in the winter, and I said, ‘Hey, I’m not coaching, why not throw my hat back in the ring.’ I was working with (Athletic Director) Greg (Zenerovitz) doing events and working all these events, I figured why not be here and coach.” He has surrounded himself with a predominantly new staff, including the ultra-successful former Pennsbury High head coach Galen Snyder as defensive coordinator. Also coming in with substantial experience are Pete Lestician and Anthony Ammirata, while former Cards Bayshawn Wells and Drew Reca

are volunteer assistants. And despite not being the head man since 2013, Radice said his first day of training camp felt like business as usual. “It was just normal,” the coach said with a shrug. “We’ve been going all summer long, five days a week. Nothing different. Kids are kids, I don’t care where you’re coaching. As long as they want to work hard and put the time in, then it’s kind of fun to come out every day and do your thing.” Radice has a guy who definitely puts the time in with Kildea, who is coming back from a broken collarbone that forced him to miss his entire junior season. It occurred in early August when the Cardinals were running a 7-on-7 drill and not even in pads yet. Kildea dove for a pass, landed hard on his collarbone and snapped it. At the time, he knew it was painful, but was unsure just how serious an injury he had until the ride home. “On the impact, I knew something was wrong,” he said. “I thought it might have been a dislocation. Once I tried to move it, I knew something wasn’t right. Apparently once I got in the car, I started to go into shock and was getting pale. So I got rushed right to the emergency room. It was rough.” It got even rougher when Kildea heard the diagnosis and knew he would miss the season. “I went to the games, I was on the sidelines,” he said. “It was hard. It’s just

a game, but...” He didn’t need to finish the sentence. Every competitor wants to play instead of watch, but Kildea made sure to provide emotional support. He was finally cleared in late November. “It didn’t need surgery,” he said. “They said I could have gotten a plate but it wouldn’t have been as strong. They said if I let it grow, it would take a little bit longer but it would be much stronger.” Kildea immediately got back in the gym and began lifting, and over the summer he made sure not to take any unnecessary risks. “I’ve just been trying to get stronger, make sure I’m healthy, make sure I don’t do anything dumb to get hurt like dive for a ball in a practice,” he said. “It was probably irresponsible to dive in a seven-on-seven drill. But in a game I’m going 150 percent. I’m lifting, getting stronger, just working as hard as I can to have a good senior season.” It is the resumption of a career that started in fifth grade when Kildea played on the line at left tackle—which seems surprising considering his 6-foot, 180-pound frame. “I was bigger back then,” he said with a laugh. “After that I played linebacker, but once I got to high school I was more offense.” Kildea saw limited time as a sophomore and was being counted on to contribute last year until the injury hit. This season, he will be playing a hybrid tight end moving all over the field. “I go to wide receiver, sometimes I’m on the line, sometimes I’m off the line,” he said. “Sometimes I’m flex off the line, so I kind of move around.” Radice is counting heavily on Kildea and senior running back Deon McLean to make the offense go. “Matt is a really smart kid, an awesome character kid, a leadership kind of kid,” the coach said. “He came out and worked really hard. He runs great routes. He’s a good athlete, catches the ball really well. All those things are intangible, we’re super lucky to have him. He’s sort of what makes this offense go, just his smartness and ability to change formations and get good match-ups. “He’s such a great kid and positive leader. It had to hurt not having him last year. I think having him back is just awesome. I think we’re really gonna enjoy him playing and playing hard and being a smart player out there.” Radice is bringing in a no-huddle offense, and Kildea feels he will fit right in. “Coach is just running things a lot differently,” Kildea said. “It’s really aggressive and I think we’re gonna be good this year.” Because of the up-tempo offense, Kildea’s hopes of playing a lot of linebacker or safety may not be fulfilled. “I love defense, I kind of wish I could play more,” he said. But, as Radice pointed out, “ with a no-huddle offense it’s just a matter of how much gas he has in the tank. If he

Lawrence High School football player Matt Kildea missed his entire junior year season after he broke his collarbone during an August 2018 practice. Now, the senior tight end is ready to play. (Photo by Rich Fisher.) can give us some plays here and there, awesome.” Awesome is a good way to describe Kildea in the classroom as he has a 4.2 grade point average and is looking into attending either Maryland or Lehigh. He is considering computer science after taking part in Lawrence’s Engineering Club. “I take school seriously,” he said. He is also taking his senior season seriously as Lawrence tries to bounce back from a 1-8 season. Kildea feels the new staff is up to the challenge of turning things around. “It’s nice having coaches with a lot of experience and success,” he said. “We can tell by the way they talk and the way they teach us that they know what they’re talking about. Everybody respects the coaches here and listens to what they say. I’m really excited. I think we’re gonna hit a bunch of teams this year. They’re gonna come out thinking we’re slow and I think this year we’re gonna surprise them all, show them we’re contenders.” Radice shares that same optimism. “I think they have great potential,” he said. “They’ve worked hard since March 1st, they had a great summer, committed to our training. They want to learn. They’re looking forward to making the next step. It’s kind of like a fresh start for them. I’m getting to know them well and they’re getting to know their coaches.” And a key figure in it all will be Kildea. “He is,” Radice said, “super central to us.”

Proper health before deciding to become pregnant is almost as important as maintaining a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy. The first few weeks of pregnancy are crucial in a child's development. However, many women don't realize they're pregnant until several weeks after conception. Planning ahead and taking care of yourself before becoming pregnant is the best thing you can do for you and your baby. Christian Hoffman III, MD from RWJ Center for Women’s Health and affiliated with Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton, an RWJBarnabas Health facility, offers some insight on pregnancy preparation and how to ensure a healthy and happy pregnancy for you and your family. Should I wait to contact my doctor or midwife until after I conceive? Physicians and midwives are a crucial source of information and reassurance before and after conception. Couples are encouraged to meet with their physician or midwife before conceiving. A pre-pregnancy exam can include an assessment of family medical history, genetic testing, personal medical history, checking vaccine status and infection screening. Do women trying to conceive need to worry about their weight before they are pregnant? Yes, your pre-pregnancy weight has a direct influence on your baby’s birthweight. 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 exercising throughout the pregnancy.

Women who were inactive before pregnancy or who have medical or pregnancy complications should talk with their healthcare provider or midwife before beginning any exercise during pregnancy. How much sleep should a pregnant woman be getting? It is not uncommon for women to experience more disturbed sleep during pregnancy than at other times. During pregnancy, women may need a few more hours of sleep per night or few short naps during the day. Overall, pregnant women should get seven hours or more nightly. What are nutrition tips for women to follow during pregnancy? The key components of a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy: appropriate weight gain, eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and appropriate and timely vitamin and mineral supplementation. An additional 300 calories are needed daily to maintain a healthy pregnancy— these calories should come from a balanced diet of protein, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, with sweets and fats kept to a minimum. Fluid intake is also an important part of healthy pregnancy nutrition. Women can take in enough fluids by drinking several glasses of water each day, in addition to the fluids in juices and soups. 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. Dr. Christian Hoffman III is with RWJ Center for Women's Health and located at 1 A Quakerbridge Plaza in Hamilton. As a RWJ Barnabas Health medical group provider, the practice accepts most major insurances. For more information about Dr. Hoffman or to make an appointment, please call (609) 631-6899 or visit rwjbh. org.
