Local corn mazes let people get lost in fall fun

By Bill sanseRVinO

bsanservino@communitynews.org

By lOis leVine Summer has faded fast from the rearview mirror, and with it comes fall and all its predictable signs: Pumpkin spice lattes at Starbucks, the crunch of dried brown leaves under our feet, and...corn mazes? Yes, corn mazes! One of the most popular family events of the season, a corn maze is simply a series of pathways cut through a corn field. Unlike a labyrinth, which only has one, non-branching path, and only one entry and exit point, there is more than one way to find the exit out of a maze. Here in New Jersey there are several farms that create corn mazes as a fall activity for the public: A. Casola Farms in Holmdel, Etsch Farms in Monroe and K & S Farms in East Windsor. Terhune Orchards in Lawrence has a seasonal corn maze as well. But one of the most wellknown and well-visited corn mazes in Mercer County is at Howell Living History Farm in Hopewell. “Mazes are historical,” said farm director Pete Watson, who has been with Howell for 35 years. “The earliest mazes were found on the tombs of Byzantine pyramids, and they were See MAZE, Page 16

Freddie’s redevelopment plan OK’d By Bill sanseRVinO

bsanservino@communitynews.org

The Ewing Planning Board approved a project Sept. 5 that calls for Freddie’s Tavern in West Trenton to be torn down and replaced with a mostly residential mixed-use project. The redevelopment plan was approved over the objections of a large contingent of residents from the surrounding neighborhood who attended the meeting to protest the plan. To be built on the site where

the landmark restaurant currently stands are two new residential buildings, one of which will also contain 3,300 square feet of commercial space. A total of 58 residential units are being proposed. The approval was for a preliminary site plan, and requires Freddie’s owner Bud Patel and the developer, Buildquick Properties LLC, to conduct an environmental study of the site. The board rejected a request to approve the project without the study.

Mathew Posada, the developer’s attorney argued for the plan, stating that the project will “provide affordable housing and replace an old, unused building with a new valuable improvement.” Ewing Mayor Bert Steinmann, who voted for the project, said the plan was in line with the Town Center zoning for the parcel. “When there is something new or different being proposed it is human nature to resist change,” Steinmann said. “But this proSee FREDDIE’S, Page 6

Five candidates are running for election to three open seats on the Ewing Township Board of Education in this year’s school election on Nov. 5. Daniel Angebranndt, Deborah Jones and Michael Miller are facing off against incumbents Scott Franks and Stephanie Staub. Winners receive three-year terms. There is one notable absence from this year’s ballot. Longtime board member Bruce White opted not to run for reelection. White has served a total of 33 years on the board since he was first elected in 1984. His term ends on Dec. 31. Angebranndt, 32, has lived in Ewing his entire life. He and his wife, Ellen, have a 16-month-old daughter. A 2005 graduate of Ewing High School, he earned a bachelor’s degree in management and an MBA with accounting concentration from LenoirRhyne University. He has worked for the past six years as a tax auditor with the state Division of Taxation. He previously co-owned a small online retail and recruiting business. Franks, 48, is a native of Ewing Township who has worked for the Fleet Management Unit at the state Department of Corrections for 29 years. A graduate of the Ewing High School class of 1990, See ELECTION, Page 8

Freddie’s Tavern owner Bud Patel sits in his newly renovated restaurant in this 2017 file photo. He closed the business in June to make way for a redevelopment project. FREDDIE’S continued from Page 1 posal has met all of the requirements it needs to move forward.” Patel shuttered the restaurant in June for renovations, and then a few weeks later announced that he was closing it for good, stating that he was going to focus on redeveloping the site. A short time later, plans were submitted for the project. Shortly before the hearing, the developer, Buildquick Properties LLC, mailed a Municipal Land Use Law notice to adjacent property owners informing them of the hearing and outlining details of the plan. Concerned residents posted a copy of the notice on social media sites and opposition grew quickly. A grassroots group called Save Ewing was formed to rally residents against the plan, which included an online petition posted on the site saveewing.com. “Save Ewing is a group of concerned residents advocating for responsible development in Ewing’s West Trenton neighborhood,” states the website. “A multi-story building with a significant amount of commercial property and nearly 60 new apartments doesn’t align with the characteristics of the neighborhood. The development raises more questions and concerns than benefit.” The petition ultimately wound up garnering 563 signatures. The petition states,

6Ewing Obser ver | October 2019

“There are many reasons to oppose this project, including the negative impact it will have on the existing neighborhood and community, lack of demonstrated need, and lack of alignment with the characteristics of the West Trenton neighborhood.” Adam Steinberger, the founder of Save Ewing, said he is not opposed to development of the property, but wants to make sure it’s done in a responsible way. “It’s unfortunate that Freddie’s closed, but it happens, and this is the natural progression.” He added that although there are some people who would rather nothing happen on property, most people are concerned about the scope and scale of what’s being proposed. “I think it’s important for the decisionmaking authorities to consider the impact of the plan on the neighborhood,” said Steinberger, who has lived on Summit Avenue—around the corner from Freddie’s—since 2014. “Even though the site is zoned Town Center, I think there’s some subjective considerations that should be taken. Just because it can be done, doesn’t mean it needs to be done,” he said. “I would ask folks to consider the future of the neighborhood.” Steinberger added that the area around the site is one of the older more established neighborhoods in town. “People are concerned. They are worried that redevelopment, specifically at that site, does not align with the characteristics and look of the neighborhood.” The plan proposes two new buildings. The first would be a commercial/residential building with 3,300 square feet of firstfloor commercial space. Above that would be 24 two-bedroom units and 14 one-bedroom units. The second all-residential building would be 10 one-bedroom units, 10 two-bedroom units and one three-bedroom unit. Patel purchased the restaurant from owner Freddie Urbano in December 2015 with the support of a $1.37 million Small Business Administration loan. The Urbano family opened the restaurant in 1933.

Miller

Miller has been employed as the director of tennis at Hopewell Valley Tennis and Swim Club in Pennington, since 1999. He and his wife, Jennifer, have three children: Peyton, 15, Chloe, 12, and Brodie, 10. Peyton is a sophomore at EHS, Chloe is a 7th grader at Fisher and Brodie is a 5th grader at Lore. Staub, 51, has lived in Ewing her entire life. A 1986 graduate of Ewing High School, she went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in business management/ marketing. Staub is the director of marketing for the Architectural Glass Institute and has been with the company for more than 7 years. Prior to AGI, she worked for the International Masonry Institute for 19 years, starting as a marketing coordinator and working her way up to marketing director. Staub and her husband, Wayne, have two children. Their son, Wayne, graduated from Ewing High School in 2018 and is currently a sophomore at Texas A&M University. Their daughter, Natalie, is a junior at EHS. *** The Observer sent a series of four questions to each of the candidates. Their answers are printed below. Why are you running for election (or reelection) to the school board? Angebranndt: I am running for election to the school board to be able to provide a direct input for the success of our students and to serve the community that has served me so well. I want to be able to assist our teachers as much as possible to be able to provide an education for our children that is enlightening, enriching and engaging. Franks: I want to make a positive impact and better serve the children of our community and feel serving on the board of education is one of the best ways to accomplish this. I would like to ensure that there are strong programs at all levels of learning and that all of our children from special education and basic skills to the honors and gifted and talented are given equal attention and opportunities. Jones: Simply put, because I do care. As shown by my long-time commitment to Ewing Little League as a board member and other capacities, my 10-year involvement with the Ewing schools parent committees and associations, and my continuous volunteer and fundraising support and involvement with our community, I care deeply about our children. I care about ensuring that all of

Staub Ewing’s youth, regardless of their socioeconomic status and/or academic abilities, have access to a quality public education—an education that will guide them perhaps on to college, a trade and/ or a profession to become both educated and successful. As a parent who’s own son was educated through Ewing’s public schools and was able to achieve success, I care about ensuring that all parents have that same access to a quality and rigorous academic experience for their children whether the students be considered atrisk, have special needs, and/or regardless of their academic abilities. I care about ensuring that the numerous teachers and professionals who serve our students have the resources and support necessary to continue guiding, preparing, and effectively teaching Ewing’s future leaders. I am excited about the possibility of joining our school board to continue and expand upon their work to provide all of Ewing’s youth with the best education they deserve and can receive. Miller: I am running for the board to help improve Ewing schools socially and academically. We have fantastic kids and teachers, but we can strive to be better. We need to make sure our teachers have all the resources they need to be fully supported in providing a quality, student-centered approach to learning. As a board member, I will be dedicated to ensuring that our schools will compete successfully with surrounding districts and the way to do that is to actively work together with the administration to ensure that our teachers, educational support professionals and students come first when it is time to make budgetary decisions. Staub: I am running for re-election for my fourth three-year term. As a lifelong resident I am passionate about Ewing and its students excelling in school. I graduated from the Ewing Public Schools and my husband and I chose to raise our family here in Ewing. Prior to joining the BOE I was deeply involved in the Antheil PTO which enabled me to interact with parents, teachers and staff regularly. Each has their own viewpoint on issues varying from academics, sports, facilities, special education, discipline, etc. That experience and continued involvement enables me to widen my perspective so my decision-making process is inclusive of all stakeholders of the district. I believe that makes me a more effective board member. I am a very active and engaged board

member since 2010, and I have held multiple leadership positions including three terms as president and one as vice president. I continue to serve on numerous committees including negotiations, facilities and residency hearings. Finally, my main objective is to see the referendum projects through to completion as these projects will affect decades of Ewing students to come. Parental involvement in their child’s education is important. What can the district do to help get parents more engaged with their children’s academic efforts? Angebranndt: Being a parent is challenging and being involved in a child’s education is a choice that parents have to make individually. I personally believe parental involvement is vital and plays a huge part in a child’s educational success. I think the district can continue to encourage involvement by increasing social media communications that highlight different programs like special education, work studies, academic achievements, etc. through various networks and publications. It should also work to promote and encourage more board meeting attendance. Another way it can encourage involvement is to collaborate with school parent associations to help highlight different activities that parents can be involved in. Franks: Both teachers and parents are invested in the success of the child, and an open dialogue between teachers and parents can lead directly to better academic results. I believe the district has several afterschool programs and workshops to engage both parents and students in learning we need to make sure we are getting the word out and get parents involved in the schools and at home. Jones: One way for the district to help parents get more engaged is to meet the parents where they are at. All parents care deeply about their children, but many may not feel comfortable initiating conversations with the school and district (at no fault of anyone). I believe it would be beneficial to everyone if the schools had several open forums to provide the opportunity for parents to come and talk about issues that they see impacting their children, to ask questions and express their concerns. Additionally, I feel that the district could host more events/ activities in actual classroom settings to include parents, offering opportunities to be engaged at all grade levels. Many parents perhaps do not realize all that is involved with teaching their children in a classroom and creating a holistic educational experience for them. Miller: In order to encourage parental involvement in their children’s education it is imperative we improve communication and have a clear understanding of our township’s population. For example, providing childcare at all Back to School Nights and conferences, utilizing high school student volunteers, is one simple way to support parental involvement. We must be able to work together with the community to plan meaningful outreach activities that parents/guard-

ians will want to attend. Finally, we must be sure all of our schools are welcoming so that parents/guardians will be comfortable coming in to our schools. Staub: Increasing parental involvement in their children’s education is a constant challenge for districts everywhere. I believe it starts with communication and is cultivated by a welcoming atmosphere. We have a variety of communication methods in the district which keep parents updated on district wide initiatives, school specific programs and classroom-based actives. But communication needs to be two-ways. The referendum process was terrific in terms of cultivating these conversations—we sought feedback and input from many parent groups. We had more parents attending BOE meeting and asking questions/providing feedback. I’d like to see more conversations taking place at all levels – individual schools, grades, etc. We would love to hear from you! If you can’t make a meeting but have something you’d like us to know, send us an email. See me around town, say hello. Have an idea how to engage more parents? I would love to hear from you: sstaub@ewingboe.org. What are some challenges facing the school district that you believe deser ve more attention? Angebranndt: I believe that one of the challenges that face the district includes maintaining the current curriculum and programs that are offered to students while trying to stay within the restrictions of the 2% tax cap law. Another challenge that I feel deserves more attention is the accessibility to educational technology, (i.e. Chromebooks), for all of our students. Many, if not all, of our programs encourage the integration of technology, cloud computing, etc. If each student had access to their own Chromebook it would allow for seamless integration of technology into the curriculum which would help provide a more engaging and effective education. The challenge is being able to provide this within the current budgetary restrictions of the 2% cap law. Franks: Our world is changing rapidly each day. Board members, administrators and teachers must meet these changes also, to give our students what they need to enter the world after high school. We will always need to keep up to date with the latest technology, books, equipment and facilities to make sure our students have what they need to be able to enter college, the workforce or whatever they choose to do. Our schools can only operate on the local tax base, state and federal monies. As a board member I will strive to help our school system has what it needs to prepare our students to meet our changing world. Jones: I believe that we need to focus on ensuring that all of Ewing’s youth have equal opportunity to build the skills and capabilities necessary for future success in a wide range of areas. Ewing’s public schools are very diverse in terms of race, socioeconomic status, academic capabilities, and athletic/ extracurricular skill sets. Recognizing this, I believe that the See ELECTION, Page 10

ELECTION continued from Page 9 district needs to continue and improve upon its work to provide a rigorous education that provides all of Ewing’s youth for success in multiple areas regardless of the student’s interests or academic capabilities. Additionally, as a taxpayer myself, I recognize the need for the board to exercise its financial responsibility to keep taxes affordable for all of Ewing’s residents while effectively preparing Ewing’s future leaders. Miller: One major obstacle is improving our public relations communication with the members of the community who do not have children in the schools. We must build positive relationships with business leaders, realtors, church leaders, and senior citizens. They should all have a seat at the table when it comes to making decisions about improving our schools so we can have a shared vision that is supported by all. Over the next five-year period we may be facing a large influx of students due to new building. We must begin to prepare and plan for that now so that we will be ready with staff and resources. Staub: One challenge that is particularly important to me, and I believe deserves more attention is student retention. Many families send their children to our elementary and middle schools but make the choice to not attend Ewing High School. We have some of the most talented teachers in the state and the education opportunities are available at EHS yet families are choosing to send their children elsewhere. I believe those choices are made for a variety of reasons, with

some of those being out of our control. But others are certainly in our control. We need to identify the reasons why these high performing students are leaving and how we can get them to stay. Are there any areas in the school district budget that need to be looked at in order to reduce expenses? Are there any programs you would like to see added or improved? Angebranndt: For the recently implemented 2019-2020 Ewing Public School Budget, 77% of it is allocated to the salaries and benefits of our teachers, support staff and administration. These individuals are essential to the success of our schools and students. A reduction in this portion of the budget would be difficult. I feel the budget has been well thought out to tackle the challenges of rising costs and the need to remain competitive. The referendum was a great way to allocate funds to improve the schools and grounds and increase the safety measures in all of our facilities. These improvements benefit not just the students but the community as a whole. The programs that are currently offered at our schools I believe are well-rounded and offer our students a great way to help explore what interests them. I believe that the district should collaborate with our teachers to find ways to effectively and efficiently improve all of our offerings in ways that are fiscally responsible. Franks: As a board member I will work to ensure that budgets are responsibly built for both the students and the public. We need to provide all our students with a good education while being

responsible to the public. I would like to see more exposure to hands on trades such as carpentry or automotive repair, etc. Like most schools, we seem to direct all children towards a college education with block scheduling and helping them to obtain certain course credits needed for the career they want to pursue, but what can we do for the children who are not going to college and want to work with their hands? Jones: Not being a current board member or having a child in the Ewing schools, my knowledge at this point is not yet as detailed as perhaps those who are currently on the board. However, as a taxpayer, I do feel that funds have been appropriated fairly and accordingly especially in particular to programs for those with special needs, our athletic department and in providing classroom aides for our teachers. As a member of the board, I will strive to expand upon our academic and extracurricular offerings while ensuring our educators and professionals have the tools and resources necessary to continue providing our youths with a solid foundation for success. Miller: We have been running a flat funded budget for almost 10 years. We have seen cuts in staffing and cuts in programming over the last 10 years. In order to be competitive and relevant in Mercer County we must at least maintain our current spending. A program that should be added is a fall play at EHS. Many surrounding districts provide this valuable opportunity and our students deserve that experi-

ence. The loss of our trades education at the middle and high school level needs to be addressed. As a board member, I will be dedicated to restoring some of these valuable programs. I am passionate about this issue because I, myself, learned woodworking when I attended Fisher Junior High School. It is time we revisit and consider providing such programming again for our students. Finally, we should be providing oneone technology resources for our students. We also need to provide all classrooms with Promethean boards so our teachers can truly integrate technology into their teaching. Staub: Since 2010, we live in the world of 2% budget increase from the previous year’s budget. Our expenses, unfortunately, increase more than that each year. Being realistic you have to look at how those expenses are proportioned to determine where reductions are the most impactful to the budget yet less impactful to the student population. The largest portion of the budget is personnel which also happens to be our greatest asset. Therefore, I support initiatives that utilize our budgeted funds more efficiently. I support programs that add value to the student experience whether it’s academics, sports, the arts, or other extracurricular activities. One area we must continue to evolve is technology—both by use in the classroom and as well a component of the curriculum. Technology will progress, if don’t keep up we will be left behind.

Capital Health Earns National Reaccreditation from the

Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons Capital Health Cancer Center, located at Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell, has again received national accreditation from the Commission on Cancer (CoC), a quality program of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) for another three-year term. To earn accreditation, a cancer program must meet 34 quality care standards established by the CoC, be evaluated every three years through an extensive survey process, and maintain levels of excellence in the delivery of comprehensive patient-centered care. Capital Health last earned this accreditation in 2016.

advanced treatment options such as CyberKnife Radiosurgery, da Vinci Robotic Surgery, TrueBeam Linear Accelerator (traditional 3D conformal radiation therapy, intensity modulated radiation therapy, RapidArc radiotherapy, and stereotactic radiosurgery), high-doserate radiation therapy, advanced imaging technology (digital mammography, 3D mammography, molecular breast imaging, PET/CT, and 3T MRI), nuclear isotopes (SIR-spheres), and more. Visit capitalhealth.org/cancer to learn more.

As a CoC-accredited cancer center, Capital Health takes a multidisciplinary approach to treating cancer as a complex group of diseases that requires individualized care among surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, diagnostic radiologists, pathologists, and other cancer specialists. This multidisciplinary partnership results in improved patient care. “This is significant. Being reaccredited as a comprehensive community cancer center by the Commission on Cancer demonstrates our ability to provide cancer treatment and care that meets the highest standards in the nation and regionally,” said Dr. Cataldo Doria, medical director of Capital Health’s Cancer Center and an internationally renowned surgeon. “It also reaffirms that we have an extraordinary team of medical specialists committed to providing patients with individualized treatment plans tailored to their needs across all disciplines involved in care.” The CoC Accreditation Program provides the framework for Capital Health to maintain its high quality of care through various programs that focus on the full spectrum of cancer care including prevention, early diagnosis, cancer staging, optimal treatment, rehabilitation, life-long follow-up for recurrent disease, and end-of-life care. When patients receive care at a CoC facility, they also have access to information on clinical trials and new treatments, genetic counseling, and patient-centered services including psycho-social support, a patient navigation process, and a survivorship care plan that documents the care each patient receives and seeks to improve cancer survivors’ quality of life. Like all CoC-accredited facilities, Capital Health maintains a cancer registry and contributes data to the National Cancer Data Base (NCDB), a joint program of the CoC and American Cancer Society and the largest clinical disease registry in the world. Data on all types of cancer are tracked and analyzed through the NCDB and used to explore trends in cancer care. CoC-accredited cancer centers use this data to create national, regional, and state benchmark reports that help CoC facilities with their quality improvement efforts. Capital Health Cancer Center is the area’s most advanced provider of cancer treatment delivered by some of the most experienced medical experts. At Capital Health, a team of physicians from related fields such as medical oncology, radiation oncology, gynecological oncology, neurosurgery, hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery, interventional GI and pulmonology, colorectal surgery, radiology, plastic and reconstructive surgery, thoracic surgery and other specialties collaborate and provide patients with a network of physicians trained in the most complex oncology issues.

CONTINUING TO PROVIDE THE REGION’S MOST ADVANCED CARE FOR

Stroke and Neurovascular Diseases For more than a decade, Capital Health has been providing advanced neurological care to patients in Central New Jersey and parts of Bucks County. Patients with complex conditions affecting the brain and spine continue to rely on its Stroke and Cerebrovascular Center (part of its Capital Institute for Neurosciences) for diagnosis and treatment of all types of neurovascular diseases, including cerebral aneurysms, strokes, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and more. “The commitment Capital Health has made over the last decade to comprehensive stroke care is something very few places do, and is completely unique in this region ,” said DR. VERNARD FENNELL, who soon after joining Capital Health last year became the first dualtrained neurosurgeon in New Jersey (and among the first in the country) to use the FDA-approved EMBOTRAP II Revascularization Device to safely remove a blood clot from an artery in the brain that caused a stroke. Dr. Fennell was also involved in some of the initial research on the device’s design. Dr. Fennell is co-director of the Capital Health Stroke Program and a dual fellowship trained neurosurgeon specializing in cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgery, with additional expertise in microsurgery, skull base surgery, brain and spine tumors, spine trauma and reconstruction as well as epilepsy surgery. In the event of an emergency, “call 9-1-1” is a common refrain, but when a 911 call is received for symptoms that suggest a patient is having a stroke, Capital Health’s Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU) can be co-dispatched with basic and advanced life support services. In 2017, Capital Health deployed the innovative MSU designed to bring time-critical stroke care to patients at their home, or wherever the MSU is dispatched to assess them. At that time, it was the first unit of its kind in New Jersey, Pennsylvania or the Delaware Valley to go live and only the second on the East Coast.

The Stroke and Cerebrovascular Center at the Capital Institute for Neurosciences is the only Joint Commission certified Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center in the region. Located at Capital Health Regional Medical Center (RMC) in Trenton, the Center provides emergency stroke and neurovascular services 24 hours-aday, seven days-a-week. OUR PROGRAM OFFERS: n

A multidisciplinary team of neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuroradiologists, neuro-intensivists, neuro-anesthesiologists, physician assistants and nurses who provide highly specialized, coordinated care.

The MSU team conducts critical assessments and works with neurologists, neuroradiologists and emergency room physicians at Capital Health to diagnose and treat patients in the field who are having an acute ischemic stroke. “Calling 9-1-1 is key to better outcomes if you think you are having a stroke,” said DR. CHRISTIAN SCHUMACHER, co-director of the Capital Health Stroke Program and a board certified stroke neurologist at Capital Health. “If the patient is experiencing an acute ischemic stroke, our specialized team in the MSU can initiate intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) to help break up the clot while he or she is taken to the hospital for additional care. This can save time and help provide treatment more quickly.”

Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the person’s smile uneven? Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? Is speech slurred? Is the person unable to speak or hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like “The sky is blue.” Is the sentence repeated correctly? If someone shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 immediately. Check the time so you’ll know when the first symptoms appeared.

MAZE continued from Page 1 also built into the knaves of churches. The Hampton Court Maze in England was created in the 1600s. For a very long time, they have been fun puzzles that people like to create and solve.” It wasn’t until the early 1990s, however that someone came up with the idea of making a maze from a field of corn. Broadway producer Don Frantz remembers flying over miles of open fields, wondering why no one ever thought of creating a corn maze. And so, in 1993, Frantz created the world’s first corn maze, in the shape of a dinosaur—for Pennsylvania’s Lebanon Valley College. The proceeds were given to the Red Cross for flood relief for Midwestern farmers, but little did Frantz know that the success of that maze would initiate the outdoor family corn maze craze on farms all over the country. Howell Living History Farm, which is owned by Mercer County, has been a site for farming since the 1730s, created its first corn maze in 1997, and it has been hugely popular ever since. ”We saw that it was a fun and agriculturally connected activity that our audience would like,” says Watson. This year, Howell Farm offers a four-acre maze with two miles of pathways, with the shape of it being the “Farmer in the Dell,” the famous children’s song/nursery rhyme. “We have a different concept every year,” Watson said. “‘The Farmer in the Dell’ is a part of Mother Goose rhymes, so, in the game we incorporate a history of rhymes, but it is also related

An aerial view of this year’s Howell Living Histor y Farm corn maze—a “Farmer in the Dell” theme. to agriculture.” Creating the maze starts in late June, when the fields are plowed, but before planting, all the pathways are marked with surveyor’s flags. The corn is usually ankle-high by July 4, at which point, farmers walk between the flags and start chopping down the stalks to create the pattern, which becomes the pathways for the maze. “When we first started, we used to do aerial views to make sure we were cutting it right,” remembers Watson. We used stakes, strings, measuring tapes, to match up where flags went with our map. Now, because of technology we have more modern surveying equip-

ment that we can depend on for accuracy; we no longer have to fly overhead to see it.” Then, eight mailboxes are constructed and placed in various locations along the maze, along with signs leading “maze walkers” to the mailboxes and clues. “The mailboxes are hidden, so you have to find them,” said Watson. Each maze walker is given a game board at the start of the maze, which is punched in with the time they started. The idea is to find all eight mailboxes, which gives you all eight puzzle pieces. When taped to the maze game board, the puzzle pieces form a map of the maze and

show the way out. This year the design on the board turns out to be, of course, the farmer in the dell. But that’s not all. “Besides finding the mailboxes and puzzle pieces, you have to answer maze questions: 10 of the trivia questions on the game board are tied to a crossword puzzle,” Watson said. “All in all, there are 30 questions on the game board. The idea is to try to answer as many questions as you can correctly, before exiting on a bridge, placed at the end of the maze. When you leave the maze, we punch you out, adding minutes to questions that you didn’t answer. “It’s a great score competition for fam-

ilies, friends, colleagues: We have a running board that shows top finishers of the day, so for big winners, it’s all about bragging rights.” The entire maze usually takes about an hour to go through, and includes music piped into the field as you walk along on your search for clues. Finally, nothing from the maze goes the waste at Howell Farm. The corn that gets picked is fed to the farm’s animals, and then, when the stalks are chopped up, they get plowed into the dirt, adding more organic material to the soil. In addition to the maze, visitors can find a courtyard with a pumpkin patch, scheduled hayrides, various farming programs, a food tent and more. The farm gives guests an authentic example of what farming was like in New Jersey between 1890 and 1910, exhibiting more than 250 years of farming practices. The farm is owned and operated by Mercer County Park Commission and the maze, operated by volunteers, is an annual fundraising event of the Friends of Howell Farm. Hours of admission to the farm in October are Fridays, 5-8 p.m. for entrance to the maze, with last exit at 9 p.m.; Saturdays noon-8 p.m. for maze entrance, with last exit at 9 pm.; and Sundays noon-4 pm, with last exit at 5 p.m. Admission to the farm is free; admission for the corn maze is as follows: visitors aged 10 and up, $10; ages 5 to 9 $8, and 4 and under are free.

Scudder Falls Bridge torn down after 58 years For 58 years, the Scudder Falls Bridge has been a fixture in Ewing Township. The bridge, long classified as functionally obsolete, started to undergo demolition—or, more precisely, dismantling section-by-section—in July, while traffic on Interstate 295 was routed onto a new replacement bridge. Below is an edited version of an article by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission detailing the history of the bridge. *** Without notice or fanfare, the anniversary of the opening of the Scudder Falls Bridge occurred on June 22. It was the bridge’s last anniversary. It was an ignominious end for a heavily used river crossing that served generations of motorists, but had increasingly become the bane of area job commuters as the structure’s inherent capacity limitations regularly served as a dreaded peakperiod traffic bottleneck between Bucks and Mercer counties. A replacement bridge consisting of two separate spans is under construction, and the first completed span of that new bridge opened to traffic in July. The bridge now operates as a toll crossing in the Pennsylvania-bound direction. The Scudder Falls Bridge was constructed jointly by Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The construction was financed by both New Jersey and Pennsylvania and the federal Bureau of Public Roads. Each state covered 25-percent shares of the project’s cost. Federal participation was the remain-

ing 50 percent of the project costs. While the bridge later was melded into the federal Interstate Highway System after being in service for several years, old U.S. highway funds were used to construct the bridge as local river crossing. Construction of the substructure (abutments and piers) started on Aug. 8, 1958. This work reached completion on July 16, 1959. Construction of the bridge’s superstructure was already underway by this time, having begun on May 25, 1959 with delivery of fabricated steel. Putting up the steel took 14 weeks and 4 days, ending on Sept. 4, 1959. Two workers died during this phase of construction: James D. Wiley, Jr., 23, of Lambertville and John Post, Jr., 29, of Trenton. On June 30, 1959, the two men were crushed when a long boom of a crane buckled and fell on them, according to a Trenton Evening Times article published on July 1, 1959. The 80-foot-long boom with an 80-ton capacity was being used to lift steel off a delivery truck that had transported the steel from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Both men were iron workers employed by a subcontractor, the Lehigh Valley Construction Company of Allentown, Pennsylvania, according to the Trenton Evening

Times. The superstructure’s steel work was painted with three coats of paint. Records show the three coats consisted of approximately 2,500 gallons of paint. Laying the concrete roadways began Aug. 4, 1959 and required 12 weeks and four days to complete, marking the project’s end on Oct. 29, 1959. The completed 1,740-foot-long bridge then sat along the river as an unused structure for 20 months while an interchange connecting the bridge with Route 29 was constructed on the bridge’s New Jersey side. Meanwhile, the Pennsylvania approach came to an abrupt dead end at Taylorsville Road on that state’s end of the bridge. These initial approaches were constructed by Geo. M. Brewster & Son, Inc. of Bogota. *** Prior to its opening, the bridge was referred to in plan sheets and correspondence as the “Scudders Falls Bridge.” The additional “s” at the end of the name of Scudder was a colloquialism for multiple generations of residents who lived along the river. However, the pluralization of Scudder was a source of irritation for descendants

of Richard Betts Scudder who, with his wife, came to the then-small settlement of Trenton circa 1700. In 1709, he purchased a 500-acre parcel along the Delaware River between Trenton and Washington Crossing. A grandson of Richard Betts Scudder—Amos Scudder, who is buried in the First Presbyterian Church of Ewing Cemetery—served as an ensign under the command of Capt. John Mott in the 1st Hunterdon Regiment of the New Jersey Militia during the Revolutionary War. Scudder guided roughly half of General Washington’s troops to Trenton for their successful surprise attack of Hessian troops on Dec. 26, 1776. The large swath of property purchased by Richard Betts Scudder remained in the family for multiple generations and later became known as Scudder Farm. A portion of it was adjacent to the falls along the river, giving name to the adjacent falls thenceforth as Scudder Falls. The New Jersey approaches to the Scudder Falls Bridge were constructed on land that was once part of Richard Betts Scudder’s sprawling plantation. When time came to open the bridge, correspondence was sent to John Montgomery Scudder, a seventh generation descendant of Richard Betts Scudder, to cut the ceremonial ribbon. Scudder deemed the invitation to be uninviting because of its references to the Scudders Falls Bridge.

Scudder, however, subsequently agreed to take part in the opening ceremony after the Bridge Commission and New Jersey highway department acceded to correctly spell the family’s name on the bridge— Scudder Falls Bridge. The Trenton Evening Times of June 22, 1961 explained the outcome: Scudder won a victory in the naming of the bridge. He contended the span should be called Scudder, without the “s.” The DRJTBC had insisted on calling the bridge Scudders, with the “s.” But the commission has yielded to the Scudder family which should, after all, know how its name is spelled. *** The formal dedication and opening of the new bridge took place on Thursday, June 22, 1961. A temporary covered platform was erected atop the bridge deck for the occasion. David J. Goldberg, the vice chairman of the DRJTBC and later the first commissioner of the state Department of Transportation, served as master of ceremonies. Father Joseph W. McLaughlin, pastor of the Church of Our Lady of Good Counsel in West Trenton, delivered the invocation. Scudder made some brief remarks before cutting the ceremonial ribbon. The first person to drive a vehicle across the formally dedicated bridge was Omero C. Catan, a field office manager for the New York City-based catering firm Harry M. Stevens, Co. Catan, who resided in Teaneck, made a hobby of being the first person to drive over new bridges, or through new tunnels, or along newly opened highway segments around the country. Among the more than 500 recorded firsts recorded by Catan were the Lincoln Tunnel on Dec. 22, 1937; the Delaware River Turnpike Bridge on May 25, 1956; the New Jersey Turnpike on Nov. 5, 1951; and the Garden State Parkway Oct. 23, 1954. Catan, mustachioed and wearing a bowtie, often drove a vehicle festooned with flags to mark his first crossings. According to an article in The Levittown Times on June 23, 1961, Catan was the first to arrive at the bridge site at 6:30 a.m. (the ceremonies did not begin until 11 a.m.) and the first in line to drive across the bridge, which officially opened to traffic at 12:30 p.m. The article quoted Catan as follows: “I get so many requests now to be the first

Catan, the first person to drive across the newly dedicated bridge, is standing behind the ribbon cutters with his trademark mustache and bowtie. across and so on, that I can’t possibly make them all. But everybody requests my presence on opening day. Like one man said, ‘You brought good luck to others on opening, and we’d like you to give us that blessing.’” Catan later retired and wrote a book on shuffleboard. He passed away in 1996 at age 82 in Broward County, Florida. *** The bridge remained jointly owned by the two states for a little more than 27 years. In 1987, the Commission was assigned outright ownership of the former joint-state-owned non-toll bridges. The transfer of bridge ownership occurred on July 1, 1987. The commission was further directed under the compact to use a share of the proceeds at its toll bridges to continue operating the former state-owned bridges as non-toll crossings. The compact, however, was worded in a manner that would allow for replacement of the Scudder Falls Bridge as a tolled crossing at a later date. The legislated carve-out for an eventual replacement of the Scudder Falls Bridge was not an accident. Roughly four years before the transfer of the bridge’s owner-

ship, the Mianus River Bridge along I-95 in Connecticut collapsed, killing three people and injuring three others. That bridge was of a similar design to the Scudder Falls Bridge—a non-redundant girder structure with a failure-prone system of pin-and-hanger connections. It would have been clear to the parties involved in the Compact rewrite that the Scudder Falls Bridge could never be widened and it would be wasteful to invest public monies in a rehabilitation of a substandard, undersized bridge. A replacement ultimately would be needed, and it likely would require tolls to do the job. *** Designed and built before the Baby Boom generation reached their driving years, the bridge experienced dramatic traffic during its 58 years of operation. Several years after opening, the bridge was designated to be part of an orphan segment of I-95 that crossed the river between Bucks County and Mercer County, ending abruptly near Route 1 in New Jersey where it joined I-295. This orphan segment was re-designated as I-295 as part of the Pennsylvania Turn-

pike interchange project with I-95 outside Bristol, Pennsylvania. As a result, I-95 now crosses the Delaware River Turnpike Bridge and continues north toward the George Washington Bridge along the N.J. Turnpike. When the I-95/PA Turnpike interchange opened last September, it marked the first time that I-95 was an uninterrupted roadway from Florida to Maine since its conception in the late 1950s. In 1961, after a little more than six months of operation, 811,114 vehicle crossings were recorded on the bridge. In 1962, its first full year of operation, more than 1.58 million vehicles crossed the bridge. Fast forward to 1990, and the Scudder Falls Bridge’s annual traffic swelled to more than 17.57 million vehicular crossings, the most traffic of any bridge—toll or non-toll—in the commission’s 20-bridge system. With significant economic growth and expansion during the 1980s and 1990s in Bucks and Mercer counties and the surrounding region, traffic volumes continued to climb. In 1982, after a series of crossover accidents, the bridge was outfitted with a concrete center divider separating the New Jersey-bound and Pennsylvania-bound travel lanes. In 2000, more than 20 million vehicles crossed the bridge for the first time. After conducting a regional traffic study in 2002, the commission entered into a 2003 agreement with the transportation departments in New Jersey and Pennsylvania to “alleviate existing and future traffic congestion along the I-95 Scudder Falls Bridge Corridor.” An environmental documentation process was conducted over the next nine years, culminating with the issuance of a Finding of No Significant Impact from the Federal Highway Administration in June 2012, the pivotal regulatory approval needed to advance the Scudder Falls Bridge Replacement Project. The project reached the halfway point with the opening of the first of two dual bridge spans in July. Final project completion is expected in late summer/early fall 2021. In 2016, the last year prior to the onset of the replacement project construction activities, more than 22.07 million vehicles crossed the Scudder Falls Bridge. The bridge carried a daily average of 52,700 vehicles during 2018, but has carried as much as a daily average of 60,000 vehicles in some prior years.

What makes Stoneking Physical Therapy different from other physical therapy centers? This 30 year old practice can lay claim to authentically being a community-centric and familyrun business. Having just completed 30 years of private practice, Richard Stoneking was born and raised in Ewing and in 2014 joined by his physical therapist son, Brandon. In an era of corporate takeovers and franchises, they have been able to maintain the family ethos. “We steer clear of the pressures to merge or be bought out,” explains Richard. “We are proud of being a local, familyowned business.” Stoneking also emphasizes personalized and consistent patient care as a core value. “At our office, the patient remains with the same physical therapist for the duration of treatment. We don’t pass the patient off to a physical therapist assistant or aide. This core value defies what is going on in the industry in general. We do not ascribe to a rushed approach, and avoid double booking of patients. We stay with our patient from day one and are in tune with their changing condition.” In addition to physical therapy services, Stoneking offers a wellness center. This gym is not only for patients upon discharge, but also the general public through selfreferral. The gym is geared towards older adults. “Our target audience is baby boomers and their parents,” explains Richard. Clients work oneon-one in the gym with a college degreed exercise physiologist. All patient exercise is monitored, with vital signs taken before and after exercise to insure maximum results in the safest environment possible. Recently, the gym installed Keiser equipment, a relatively new range of fitness equipment that provides zero pound starting resistance and zero

shock loading to muscles and joints, allowing the client to build strength and power effectively with controlled air resistance. Another point of fact, which Richard is proud of, is that patients do not need a doctor’s referral to work with the Stoneking team. “Recently a woman came in through self-referral because she sprained her wrist and it was still painful and stiff. We initiated treatment and provided her a home exercise program. While able to practice physical therapy without physician referral, as a courtesy we communicate with each patient’s primary care physician via timely typed evaluation reports”. Who is the typical Stoneking client? It can be anyone from a teenager injured playing soccer to an elderly man or woman suffering with balance issues. “We do a lot of assessment of older adults for their falls risk. We start with basic tests, like asking someone to stand from a chair without using their arms, and seeing how many times they can go from sitting to standing in 30 seconds. We have data that demonstrates to the patient where they should be based upon their age and gender. We calculate falls risks with a variety of tests and then take the necessary corrective action. Other patients, including those with neurological issues like Parkinson’s, stroke, and illnesses affecting a person’s gait and mobility, benefit from our care”. Finally, after almost 31 years, Richard still finds physical therapy practice to be rewarding? “It’s an everyday thing; what an ego boost it is to be thanked by patients who are appreciative that you have resolved their pain and functional loss. Whether it be getting down on the floor to play with grandchildren, or climb a flight of stairs, we are here working to make your goals happen”.

The Ewing Public Schools CHARACTER COUNTS AT PARKWAY

At Parkway School our ultimate mission is for the educators to work with the students to help them develop academically, socially, emotionally and civically to the best of their abilities. To that end we are working to incorporate the components of Positive Education and develop and expand students’ knowledge and display of internal character traits. Along with our daily mindfulness moments, during morning announcements, the students are given a task to consider from the daily character trait calendar. Each month a different calendar trait will be highlighted and taught to the students on the first school day of the month. September’s character trait was ‘Honesty’.

As the month progresses, students receive a ticket anytime they display the character trait. At the end of the month the students count up their tickets to determine their character strength for the month and display it on a sign in the monthly class picture. These class pictures will be displayed on a bulletin board outside of the gym and updated monthly. To further encourage and showcase students’ good choices and positive tasks, teachers can send students to the office for a “Positive Office Referral” to receive congratulations from a member of the front office staff or a student can receive a “shout out” from a staff member which will be read during morning announcements. All of these ideas for encouragement will continue to increase in number due to the efforts of the school-wide “Be The Change” committee. This committee is staffed by every member of the Parkway School professional staff on a rotating basis. In addition, 17 Parkway School teachers have been trained in the principles of Positive Education which allows us to look at how we build and maintain student/teacher relationships as a way to increase academic achievements and time on task.

In his story, he emotionally reveals that what got him through the horrific experience was not thoughts of his mother, father or girlfriend, but of his high school football coach. “I thought about (Coach) Rake,” he states. “I could hear him barkin’ at us at the end of practice when we were runnin’ sprints. I remember his locker room speeches. Never quit, never quit….If you’re winnin’, never quit. If you’re losin’, never quit. If you’re hurt, never quit.” The story demonstrates the importance of a coach in a student-athlete’s life, and the powerful impact they can have on a young man or woman’s growth and development. A coach serves as a mentor, role model, and motivational force. The relationship between a good coach and athlete is a unique one, consisting of many different, often conflicting emotions, but always characterized by a strong, if sometimes begrudging, respect. Testament to this everlasting influence of a coach and their lifelong impact has been the outpouring of appreciation for legendary Ewing Schools’ educator James Kovalsky, who sadly passed away on September 1st. Universally known as “Coach K,” Kovalsky spent decades on the fields of the Ewing Schools as a football and baseball coach. The loss of such an important man in their lives motivated men, now deep into middle age and beyond, with lives, families and careers of their own, to take to social media and digital platforms to share, unsolicited, their feeling of respect and affection for Coach K. Kevin Shirk, a standout football player for the Blue Devils in the mid-80s who went on to play at Rutgers, wrote, “Other than my mother and father, Coach Kovalsky was the most influential person in my life. Thank you for your direction, inspiration, and caring to not just me but to all of the people you have touched throughout your lifetime. You will be deeply missed.” Dave Mountford, another 1980s student athlete who played both football and baseball for Coach K, wrote, “Coach K inspired and molded the character and future of so many Ewing athletes. He had an immeasurable impact on athletic careers. He never failed to give his all. His sacrifice did not go unnoticed, and he served as an example carried on by all those he had taught on and off the field.” David Nitti, a Blue Devils gridiron star who went on to play at Villanova, wrote, “Coach K was

my first football coach, and the first adult to trust me with responsibility and treat me like a man. Pushed us all hard but he rewarded hard work as well. First person outside my family that told me I could be a leader and greatly affected my life.” Ira Bailey, a rugged lineman for the Blue Devils, wrote, “Coach K made boys to men. An excellent coach and great human being. When he pushed back his glasses with his thumb, you knew he meant business, but he did it out of love and because he wanted us to get better- because he cared.” Monti Robinson, a former EHS football and wrestling athlete, shared, “This is so sad to hear. Coach K was a great coach who instilled so many positive values in all of us who had the pleasure of being around him.” A common theme of many of his former athletes’ posts was that Coach K’s passion and dedication to his teams was so obvious and encouraging that it manifested itself as one common goal in all his players: “You did not want to let the man down.” Anthony Messina, a lineman on the outstanding Blue Devil football teams of the mid-80s, who is now Ewing’s Board of Education President, sums up how so many of his former athletes feel about their mentor. “I truly believe that Coach K saw things in us as young kids that we did not even see in ourselves,” Messina stated. “He believed that we could do great things on the field and in life before we even thought it was possible, and it was that faith and confidence in us that motivated so many of his athletes to be successful.” Henry Adams stated that a teacher affects eternity; that they can never tell where their influence stops. That is certainly true for any educator, but it is probably even more so poignantly powerful for coaches, who spend so much time with their charges in an environment that is often difficult, challenging, turbulent and emotional. As demonstrated by all of those who have come forward since the sad passing of James Kovalsky, he was the type of coach who has left behind a legacy of inspiration that his athletes will not only always carry with them, but they will pass on to future generations.

Parkway Jets Upstander of the Week Program For the fourth year in a row Joe Callea, Dean at Parkway School will be working with the New York Jets and Stomp Out Bullying (The number one anti-bullying organization in the country.) to implement the Jets Upstander of Week Program. This year Mr. Callea invited Parkway teachers Miss Porreca and Mr. Johnson to join him at the symposium, to help him implement the program again this year. In three years Parkway School sent 48 students to an NFL game for displaying upstander behavior. Description of the program: The Jets Tackle Bullying program presented by Bethpage Federal Credit Union is a collaboration with STOMP Out Bullying to tackle all forms of bullying by raising awareness, providing tools for educators, and preventing bullying for kids and teens. When you see someone being bullied and/or cyberbullied and you help them, you stop being a bystander and become an upstander! Returning for 2019, the New York Jets will lead a unique school initiative called "Jets Upstander of the Week." For each of the 16 weeks during the season, the Jets will ask schools to select a student who demonstrates upstanding qualities and honor them as the Jets Upstander of the Week. Each school will be provided with 16 t-shirts to award the winning students. In addition, schools will receive enough tickets to award each winner with 2 tickets to a New York Jets home game.

They could...go.... all...the way!

Towlen embraces role as leader for girls’ soccer By Justin Feil Melina Towlen has noticed a big difference in her final season with the Ewing High School girls’ soccer team. It’s not a position change. She was born playing center midfielder it seems. It’s the role she has on top of playing that key spot in the field as a senior and a captain in her third year on varsity. “It’s a big difference from sophomore year,” Towlen said. “Sophomore year I was always looking for that spot to start. When I got in the game, I’d be really anxious to prove myself. Senior year, I’ve calmed down a lot. Now it’s more of a leader spot rather than trying to fit in with the seniors that were before me.” Towlen is hoping to help the Blue Devils raise their standards as she looks to set up a brighter future for the program. It’s off to a promising start. “I think that already compared to last season we’re much more of a team,” Towlen said. “We work well together. It is a really good mix of students, a lot from each grade and a lot of talent.” Ewing gained some confidence when it won one of its first three games of the year, 4-1, over Hamilton West with freshman Sydney Smith scoring two goals, sophomore Emani Ellis adding a goal, and freshman Thalia Hearns scoring a goal. Hamilton beat Ewing last year, and turning the tables shows some new confidence. The team has a mix of veteran players and new contributors. Towlen has been on varsity since she was moved up for a taste of it in the Mercer County Tournament freshman year. Then there are

freshmen like Smith and Hearns, and Hazel Penner, who gave a memorable post-game reminder after Ewing fell to Hopewell Valley. “A lot of the girls speak up and reflect after games, which is wonderful, but specifically this stuck with me,” said Ewing head coach Shannon Pedersen. Pedersen has brought a little stability as well. She is back for her second season after the EHS program had three different coaches in four years. “I definitely feel like I have my feet under me more absolutely,” Pedersen said. “The girls deserve all the credit because they make my job easy. They’re constantly wanting to better me as a coach and wanting to better themselves.” The Blue Devils have a strong desire to develop the program. There are little steps that this year’s team has shown that are the mark of good teams. “What I’ve been really excited about now with this group of young ladies is their ability to possess the ball,” Pedersen said. “They bring a fresh new look to the game, and it’s nice to watch them cohesively work together and be able to knock the ball around at a higher level.” Towlen has been consistent in the center. Her experience comes through in the middle of the action. “Melina is one of the most composed players I’ve had the pleasure of coaching thus far,” Pedersen said. “She’s a leader on and off the field. I can’t say enough nice things about her. She lifts the team up in practice, and she lifts the team up

She has great vision, ball control, and she pushes her teammates with her level to do better.” Towlen is one of the team’s senior leaders. Ewing has gotten a boost from having strong representation from each of its classes. There is healthy competition for playing time, and that has helped to push the team to bigger goals. “The seniors, a majority of them are starters and a lot get substantial minutes,” Pedersen said. “There are freshmen, and sophomores and juniors that are starting as well. It’s nice because the team is very versatile. I enjoy having depth in all three positions.” In Marian Ordonez, the Blue Devils have a selfless player starting at goalie. She sets a good example. “She originally started out in the program as a field player,” Pedersen said. “She is 100 percent a team player in realizing she has an ability in goal. When we needed a goalie, she rose to the plate for that. She’s a tremendous leader, a voice in the back for our defense, and she’s a phenomenal goalie.” If Ewing can overcome some of the pitfalls that have cost them this year, they will be able to establish a higher level of play going forward. “I think mostly we can improve on not getting frustrated with each other when things don’t go our way,” Towlen said. “As much team bonding as we’ve done, when we’re losing we start to get angry. We start to fall apart a little bit. We have to push through when we get tired. When we’re tired, we struggle with that a little bit.” As of Sept. 24, Ewing had lost four straight games following its win over Hamilton, but continued to focus on improving steadily in hopes of building momentum. “What I emphasize to the girls in moving forward in the season is no matter win or loss, no matter up or down, you play with integrity, you play with that

Ewing heart, soul and pride,” Pedersen said. Towlen is encouraged by the first month of play. She hopes for a strong finish to her final season at Ewing before she begins looking for a potential match for which to play soccer collegiately next year. She is hoping to leave a Ewing team after establishing a foundation for success. “I honestly think this group shows a lot of hope for Ewing girls’ soccer,” Towlen said. “The girls that show a lot of potential—the freshmen—they’re young. The team will step up and they can be good leaders in the future because they’ve started out strong. They could improve and by their senior year, they could become a better team. Even if it’s not my year, I want them to be better. It could be a slow process, but we’ll get there.”

Quinn Hi friend! I am Quinn. I have a very special coat I am a sorrel tortoiseshell. I may seem reserved and shy, but really I’m not, I’m just bored being in the shelter. I am very sweet and would be very happy as a cat in a home with windows and cat tree and lots and lots of pets.

To preserve or not to preserve? By Helen Kull The recent interest in and concern about Freddie’s Restaurant and what may become of the site reminds us of places that are special and significant to us, and that there are methods and procedures in place to offer some protection to such places. While the house at the core of Freddie’s Restaurant may have been built in the 1880s, the home had been extensively altered and added to over the years, and was not on any list of designated historic buildings. Freddies’ reputation for a variety of reliable, reasonably-priced meals over the years, and its general location in the closeknit neighborhood of West Trenton, made it a favorite family-run go-to spot for years. However, its location along Railroad Avenue and across from the SEPTA terminal, and not far from the old GM site now being developed as a town center, also made it a desirable place for other purposes. We human inhabitants of time and space find ourselves continually caught in a familiar tension: that of wanting to hold fast to the beloved, familiar, sentimental, historic or magnificent; and yet wanting to grow, to improve, and to embrace the new, the innovative, the future. When it comes to our built environment and the places we frequent, achieving a balance within that tension is the big challenge. Establishing priorities is always the critical step in achieving a balance, as is balancing those priorities. What are our priorities? We need to consider what aspects of “place” are most important to us, and to balance them with other considerations. If the historical context of place is important to us, what places represent the historical aspects of Ewing, which ones are most significant, and will we protect their existence? If contemporary places are signifi-

cant to us, how so, and how do we indicate that? And if innovation and new growth are important to us, then we must decide how and where we can accommodate that growth. And there are the additional related considerations of the possible impacts of “saving vs. growing” on traffic, environment, housing, schools, businesses, etc. These considerations are all in the realm of land use planning, and contribute significantly to what makes a town a unique place. In New Jersey, the enabling legislation for land use planning, development and zoning is the Municipal Land Use Law. It allows municipalities to define and plan for land use and development within their towns, according to certain guidelines. Each municipality prepares its own ordinances regarding development, and decides how a township’s residential and commercial sites will look and feel within the township. New Jersey’s MLUL legislation has included historic preservation zoning provisions since 1986 for municipalities to “identify, evaluate, designate and regulate” historic resources. This allows municipalities to indicate the location and significance of historic sites and districts, or to identify the standards for those sites. Zoning laws can then apply certain restrictions or safety considerations on the sites or districts specified in the historic preservation plan. The regulations can be relatively loose, or very specific, depending on what has been decided by the local municipality. Planners and preservationists try diligently to balance zoning needs with preservation concerns. Zoning laws and historic preservation restrictions vary greatly by district, town and state. Where you live affects the regulations that are in place. Simply put, home rule rules. Some places have rather restrictive rules for buildings or districts designated as “historic.” Compared to other cities, towns and districts, Ewing’s existing regulations are relatively unrestrictive. For a township with such a rich history and a significant amount of historic fabric remaining, Ewing currently has no designated historic districts and relatively few designated historic buildings. While to some that may seem desirable, it will eventually risk the future connections to Ewing’s past, by offering little or no review or protection from the encroachment of new development. It’s all a matter of priorities and balance. I personally hope that Ewing may soon be successful in designating portions of say, Wilburtha or West Trenton as a historic district, with some protection, so that these wonderful windows to Ewing’s past do not close forever. You can contact Ewing’s Historic Commission via email at ethpcbrown@gmail. com, or attend the next Commission meeting on 10/23/19 from 7:30 to 8 pm at the ESCC.

Silver anniversary showers By Ilene Black

I recently attended my daughter-inlaw’s bridal shower. Her bridal party outdid themselves. The venue was great, the food was excellent and the mood was jubilant. But as I watched Michelle open her gifts, I began to think that we need to institute a new tradition. I’m thinking we need to give showers for couples as soon as they hit 25 years of marriage. Watching Michelle open beautiful new bed linens, I visualized our linens at home. We have exactly two sets of bed linens that match. The rest of the sheets and pillowcases are random, matching nothing. She also got a gorgeous comforter and pillow set. I would kill for it. Our current covering is an aqua quilted bedspread, which has hosted countless episodes of Doggie Wrestling matches, so it’s not looking very decorative at this time. And the pots and pans! Skillets, Dutch ovens, saucepans, pots and pans set. I actually have most of the set of pots and pans that we got at our bridal shower, 39 years ago. Their advanced age shows in every ding and dent. The kitchen appliances that Michelle got were fabulous. Let’s face it. Back when George and I got married, there was no such thing as a microwave oven. We had a toaster and maybe a toaster oven (although I think that came later), a coffee maker, and an electric can opener. That was it on the kitchen appliances. So an air fryer and a jumbo griddle are magical to me. The towels she got were lush, thick and beautiful. With hand towels and washcloths. Sitting there watching her open these towels, I had a momentary vision of our current towel situation. Right now we have three towels that are relatively plush. The rest are as thin as a paper towel. Someone gifted Michelle a dessert decorating set. It’s so cool. There are piping bags (the plastic bag you put the icing in), a bag cutter, spatula, storage case and 18 tips. You use the tips to do roses, basketweave, leaves, stars, ruffles

and more. Now to be honest, I do not want one of these. Simply put, I don’t bake. That’s what they invented bakeries for. But it’s still a really nice gift, and Michelle does bake very well. One thing she got that I love is an expandable colander/strainer. It fits over the sink so you can drain pasta or salad makings (or whatever) without the stupid colander tipping over and dumping all the pasta or salad makings in the sink, forcing you to grab the pasta or salad makings with your hands and toss it all back in the stupid colander, all while looking over your shoulder to make sure no one saw this happen. I’ve never done that, of course, but I’ve heard others have (I’ve done it). A clothes steamer! I love this thing, mainly because I hate ironing and on the rare occasion that I attempt to iron, there are more creases and wrinkles in the garment than when I started. She got some wonderful utensils. And a beautiful knife set. We are still using the utensils I got for my bridal shower. The handles used to have a floral display on them. No more. After 39 years of stirring, flipping, forking with them, the design is a mere shadow of itself. And we have one good, sharp long knife. One. Our silverware—best not to mention it. If someone comes over expecting a cocktail and some cheese and crackers, they will get their cocktail in a water glass and cheese and crackers on the one very worn-out cheeseboard that we still own. Michelle got a beautiful monogrammed cutting board and an intricate cheeseboard with knives. The one thing I could do without at my shower is the bridal lingerie. No lingerie for this gal. I wear knee length sleeveless nightgowns all year round. If I ever dressed in bridal lingerie, George would immediately start testing me for concussion. After he stopped rolling on the floor laughing. I say we adopt this new plan—anyone who hits 25 years of marriage gets a shower. Actually, we don’t even need a party. Just send gifts. Boom. Genius!
