Robbinsville tops Mercer in population growth rienced break-neck growth since the mid-1980s. The statistics come from the 2020 Census Redistricting Data Summary File, and they provide the first look at detailed information about where people were living as of April 1, 2020. Numbers are available for the nation, states and communities down to the block level. Overall, the population in Mercer County grew by 5.7% from 366,515 to 387,340— an increase of 20,825. This was a slower rate of growth than over the last 30 years. By comparison, the county grew by 35,000 residents from 2000-2010, and 25,499 from 1990- 2000.

Race and ethnicity demographic statistics report that the white population decreased by 20.7% from 225,012 to 178,447. There was a small .9% increase in the Black population from 74,320 to 74,993; and a 48.2% increase in the number of Asians from 32,752 to 48,537. The Hispanic/Latino population was the other group that saw a large increase in Mercer County. That number went from 55,319 in 2010 to 84,177 in 2020, a 52.2% increase. The report also lists information on housing. The total number of housing units See CENSUS, Page 6

Many towns within Mercer County saw varying levels of population growth over the last 10 years, according to information released last month by the U.S. Census Bureau. Out of Mercer's 12 municipalities, it was Robbinsville that saw the most growth percentage-wise over the last decade. On the other end of the spectrum was two towns that didn’t grow at all—Lawrence Township and Hopewell Borough. Both, in fact, saw small decreases in population—an oddity for this area of Central New Jersey, which had expe-

Pond Road student wins statewide art contest Charvi Yetish’s love for her family of four is apparent in her words, her actions, and most crystalline of all, her award-winning artwork. “I got into drawing because of my sister, because I saw her drawing for the first time and I thought I should try it out when I was little. I started to really like it, so I decided to continue drawing,” Yetish, a student at Pond Road Middle School, said of her inspiration. She won first place in the 2021 New Jersey Child Support Teen Media Contest, with a hand-drawn piece entitled, “We Are in This Together and Forever,” that depicts her support system during the COVID-19 pandemic. The people each represent Yetish’s father, mother and older sister, with their bodies in black and white, while the face masks boast a colorful contrast. The young girl, 13, was among a dozen New Jersey high school and middle school students chosen by New Jersey Human Services to illustrate the myriad of ways that loved ones stayed connected despite the challenging times. For Yetish, she advanced artistically, as well as emotionally, consis-

on. They helped me be happy,” she said. Yetish likes to paint as well, but her passion is usually expressed through colored pencils and graphite illustrations. Occupationally, she wants to use those skills to create a bright, new future. “It’s something I definitely wanna use in my career, ‘cause I really like doing it,” she said brightly. While her original idea was to configure aesthetically how her family worked together during COVID, it soon came to her that they were emotionally available for each other. “I decided to put each of our memories inside each of the face masks, and I also made those in color so it would stand out more next to the black and white,” Yetish said. Besides the unmistakable scene of school over Zoom, she drew a series of positive recollections. “In my sister’s mask, I was showing how my mom helped me, and so did my dad, when I had Zoom problems or any computer difficulties,” she explained, talking about all the assistance they offered from home. “In my dad’s face mask, it’s all of us playing board games together, which

In my face mask, I drew me and my dad, because he always comforted me when I was sad, and so did my mom.” The title was “more of a last-minute thing,” Yetish said. Her family bonds helped to choose the fitting name. “I just knew that we would be together during COVID, and I knew we would always be together forever,” she said. She said she is happy to attend school in-person once September comes, and her positive outlook towards COVID-19 is just as colorful as her work. “I’m keeping the mindset that it’ll all be gone soon. If we just follow what people are saying, then it will all be good,” she said. Yetish said she wanted people to feel comforted at her drawing, and that their family could also help them in dark times. As one of the adolescents who placed in the final results, she will have her piece featured in the upcoming 2022 Child Support calendar, and receive a gift certificate, as well as a plaque, made in honor of her success.

She put all she had to feel into the work to ensure the judges understood her intentions. “I wanted to show that the main thing about my piece is that my family definitely helped us through COVID,” Yetish said. “[Winning first place] felt amazing, really, because out of all the places, I actually got first place, which was really nice,” she said. “It made me feel really, really, happy, and that I could actually win other contests.

Proposed Open Space Trust Fund reallocation to go before voters The Mercer County Board of Commissioners approved a voter referendum to go on the November that would permit the reallocation of the County’s Open Space Trust Fund. The reallocation would place a greater emphasis on stewardship, park development and historic preservation. The measure was presented to the board and supported by County Executive Brian Hughes. The new trust fund allocation would increase the amount for stewardship of County-owned parks and open spaces from 10 percent to 20 percent, and increase the amount for park develop-

ment and historic preservation from 20 percent to 30 percent, with 50 percent allocated to open space acquisition. Hughes stressed that approval of the referendum would simply be a reallocation of the Trust Fund—not a tax increase. It would not change the levy of up to 3 cents per $100 of equalized valuation that Mercer County voters overwhelmingly approved in 2004 to fund the Trust Fund. The County open space tax rate, which is determined annually by the Board of Commissioners as part of the budgeting process, is currently 2.5 cents per $100 of equalized valuation. “By shifting the authorized allocation of the Trust Fund, the County could continue its acquisition program and continue providing land acquisition grants to municipalities and nonprofit land conservancies, while investing more toward providing access to our parks and expanding recreational offering,” Hughes said. Over the past three decades, Mercer County has used the assets of the Trust Fund to purchase and preserve thousands of acres of farmland and open space for future generations to use and enjoy and has improved public access and recreational opportunities to County-preserved parkland.

CENSUS continued from Page 1 in Mercer increased by 7,273, from 143,169 to 150,442, an increase of 5.1%. Slightly more than 11,000 of those units are listed as being unoccupied. The total population in group quarters in 2020 was 19,477, which includes 12,268 in college/university housing, 3,414 in adult correctional facilities and 1,632 in nursing homes. The Mercer County numbers are similar to those for the state of New Jersey, which also saw a population increase of 5.7% to 9.28 million people over the last decade. *** Robbinsville saw an increase that was more than double the county and state averages, with a population increase of 13.4%, according to the Census Bureau. The township grew by 1,834 people—from 13,642 in 2010 to 15,476 in 2020. The number of housing units in Robbinsville increased by 410 from 5,277 to 5,687 (7.8%). There were 208 houses reported as being vacant. The township become more culturally diverse since 2010. The total number of white people decreased 14.1% from 11,131 to 9,528. The percentage of white residents went from 81.6 percent in 2010 to 61.6 percent in 2020. The second highest percentage is the Asian population, which went from 12.7% in 2010 to almost 30% in 2020. Overall, the Asian population increased 149%, from 1,729 to 4,312. The number of Hispanic/Latino residents increased 40.1% from 564

to 790, and the number of Black residents went up 13.4% from 426 to 483. The number of people identifying as being of two or more races increased 254.1 percent from 246 to 871. West Windsor Township was another fast-growing community. The population there increased by 8.7% from 27,165 to 29,518, an increase of 2,353 people. The town saw an increase of 1,052 housing units from 9,810 to 10,862 (10.7%). A total of 493 units are listed as being vacant. The City of Trenton also saw growth over the last decade. The population grew from 84,913 to 90,871 (7%), a total of 5,913 residents. That’s a stark change from the previous decade, when the population decreased by 490 people from 2000-2010. The largest growth was in the number of Hispanic or Latino residents, which went from 28,621 to 40,905, an increase of 33.7%. The biggest decrease in the city was in the number of white people, which went down by almost 50% from 22,549 to 12,004. The numbers reported for Princeton were somewhat confusing, because Princeton Township and Princeton Borough consolidated into one community in 2013. A number of news outlets mistakenly reported that Princeton was one of the fastest-growing towns in the state, not realizing that the 2010 number in the report (12,307) was for Princeton Borough only, and the 2020

number (30,681) is for the consolidated Princeton. The Census report shows the municipality’s population growth as 149.3%. In actuality, in 2010, Princeton Township had 16,265, which added to the Borough’s population of 12,307 yields a total of 28,572. That means the increase was really 2,100 residents (7.4%). *** Lawrence Township saw the biggest population reduction in the county, going from 33,472 in 2010 to 33,077 in 2020—a decrease of 395 people (-1.2%). According to the population/ethnicity statistics, the white population in town reduced by 4,431, from 22,322 to 18,891, a 19% decrease. Increases included: Hispanic or Latino, 1,184 people, from 2,503 to 3,687 (47.3%); Asian, 11,171 people, from 4,721 to 5,892 (24.8%); Two or more, 1,640 people, from 819 to 2,450 (199.1%); Black, 295 people, from 3,602 to 3,897 (8.2%); and other, 945 people, from 913 to 1858 (103.5%). Municipal Manager Kevin Nerwinski commented on the statistics. “The very slight decline in population as shown in the 2020 U.S. Census suggests that the community maintains a consistent population level given that we are and have been essentially built out since the last census,” Nerwinski said. “The 2020 census was conducted during a world health pandemic and at a time when the political climate may have caused some from our diverse community to

not participate. “The importance of the census cannot be overestimated, and our community did an excellent job in getting the count that we did.” In terms of residential housing, the community is essentially built out, which is borne out by the fact that Lawrence saw very few houses built over the last 10 years. According to the Census Bureau report, there was an increase of only 29 housing units in town, from 13,239 to 13,268. A total of 718 of those units are identified as being vacant. The population in group quarters is 2,209, with 260 of those in nursing homes and 1,949 in college/university housing. The other community with a population decrease was Hopewell Borough. The number of people living there went down by four people over the last decade, from 1,922 to 1,918 (-.2%). Like Lawrence Township, the Borough saw a small increase in the number of housing units—from 817 in 2010 to 828 in 2020 (1.3%). The Census Bureau reports 41 of those units being vacant. Population changes in other Mercer County communities are as follows: East Windsor: 27,190 to 30,045 (10.5%); Pennington: 2,585 to 2,802 (8.4%); Hightstown: 5,494 to 5,900 (7.4%); Hamilton: 88,464 to 92,297 (4.3%); Ewing: 35,790 to 37,264 (4.1%); and Hopewell Township 17,304 to 17,491 (1.1%).

PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY is a condition that affects millions of Americans, commonly resulting in pain, tingling, numbness, and other painful symptoms in the hands, legs and feet. This pain changes your life and affects how you work, how you play and how you live. Some symptoms of peripheral neuropathy are similar to symptoms associated with chronic low back conditions. At AllCure, we will help differentiate between the two and treat either chronic low back conditions or peripheral neuropathy accordingly.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE NERVE DAMAGE? Peripheral neuropathy is the consequence of damage to your peripheral nerves. There are over 100 different kinds of peripheral nerve disorders or neuropathies - some are the result of a disease like diabetes, while others can be triggered by a viral infection. Still others are the result of an injury or compression on the nerves. No matter where the problems begin, it is imperative nerve disorders are resolved as soon as possible to prevent permanent damage. Many People suffer with pain for years, not realizing that their symptoms may be due to Peripheral Neuropathy. Symptoms start gradually, then get worse, including numbness, burning or tingling sensations and sharp, electrical-like a pain. Treatment options have been limited to a small assortment of pain medications, which can lead to further issues. Ignoring the problem or masking the symptoms has never been a viable solution. If you suffer from any of the aforementioned symptoms, we can help.

RINYU continued from Page 1 Her father served in the U.S. Army as a full-time member of the National Guard, and he helped Rinyu in acquiring her first job working for the very federal agency that honors those who have served. Her mother was a nurse. Rinyu moved to New Egypt about 25 year ago. When her children started kindergarten, she spotted the job opening for Robbinsville. As clerk, she assisted people of all ages in accomplishing administrative needs, but she rarely became involved in their daily lives. Years down the road, she decided to make the transition to the Senior Center to become more involved with the township’s senior citizens, as well as begin a new start. “I felt I was at the point in my life where I needed a change, where I felt like I was giving back to somebody and to the community,” she said. Whether it was people coming in for marriage or dog licenses, building a rapport or helping them prepare for elections, the contrast was that as a Senior Center manager, “you're actually giving back to the individual.” “When I saw the job was open, [what interested me was] the idea of working with the seniors, working one-on-one with them and getting to know them,” Rinyu said. “My favorite part of working in the clerk’s office was dealing with the residents that came in.” The bonds she cultivated as a dep-

Beth Rinyu has been appointed as the new manager of the Robbinsville Senior Center. uty clerk were important to prepare her for the future. “It’s neat to see them in a different atmosphere, and to get to know them on a different, more of a personal level,” she said. After being closed for 14 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Senior Center reopened on June 11 for in-person activities. Rinyu started a few months later, and the period of settling in was juxtaposed against

another potential wave or rise in coronavirus cases. As members of the senior community are more vulnerable to the disease, safety is imperative—but so is connecting with them as a newfound friend and confidante. “I have an open door policy if they want to come in and talk, and I know a lot of them just like to vent,” Rinyu said. “They’re lonely, and some of them don’t have anybody else to talk to. I want them to feel comfortable coming in here if they need assistance, to feel comfortable asking us and not feel like they’re being a burden. I want there to be a comfort level here where they want to keep coming back, and at the same time, I want to make it fun, too, by incorporating activities that they could do day-to-day.” She is constantly thinking about new attractions and features to satisfy seniors, yet her ability to make these concepts a reality might be potentially hampered by the advancing new wave of COVID cases. Many of those who are ready to socially mingle are comfortable due to being vaccinated, and Rinyu emphasized the need to “hang in there” as they take health procedures each moment at a time. In addition to creating a suggestion box for community input, she is going to be “planning, planning, planning,” especially with the looming threat of a possible second lockdown for COVID-19. “I have a ton of ideas that I want to

do here, but right now, it’s hard with COVID, because we don’t know what’s happening from day to day if they’re gonna put the restrictions back in place, so it's kind of everything’s up in the air based on that,” she said. They want to expand on programs such as their dedication to arts and crafts, exercise, informative speakers and more. As manager, she is entertaining the thought of everything from dances to seminars that involve local police or the fire department. Rinyu is also hoping to do some remodeling to make the Senior Center more welcoming. “I want them to walk in here and feel like it’s a second home, where they can feel comfortable,” she said. A lot of places lost community engagement over the pandemic, so her emphasis is on getting people to return, as long as they feel secure. “I wanna try to try to get the word out to people to welcome them back in, and try to recruit them, for a better word, to come in and enjoy this,” she said. “[To] let them know we have a lot of fun things coming up, as long as COVID doesn’t rear its ugly head again.” She’s optimistic that upcoming events, while scheduled tentatively, will still happen as intended. Rinyu is open to methods of virtual engagement such as Zoom, with her main desire to keep seniors connected to the outside world. Right now, the in-person offerings

are limited to activities like chair yoga, hula hooping and grab-and-go lunches meticulously planned by the kitchen staff. But, as time goes on, Rinyu looks to the mid-day time as a wonderful opportunity to bond with her clientele. “You can develop more of a relationship with them because they’re here for longer, and I haven’t had that experience yet, so I’m looking forward to that,” she said. The center is hoping to do an outdoor picnic in September to honor Burns and give her a warm retirement send-off. What she wants people to know, is that although the alienation of last year stung, Rinyu wants to continue fostering an environment that not only accepts older residents, but appreciates them and the importance of having a place to engage with each other. “I think a lot of seniors, they feel like they’re forgotten,” she said. “They get comfortable just sitting at home, and that just becomes their

norm, and then it morphs into a minor depression where you’re just, ‘Okay, I’m staying home, I’m not gonna go out,’ It’s important to get them out, get their minds going, and just for them to socialize, because a lot of them don’t have family that they see on a regular basis, that they talk to. ”A lot of them are alone, they’re eating dinner alone, they’re eating breakfast alone. This is an outlet for them to actually see other people, know that there are other people out there and that there are people out there who care about you. It’s a chance for them to come and do their activities that are geared just for somebody in their age group.” Rinyu stressed that everyone can learn from the benefits of human connection. “I think that helps them not only physically, but it would help them mentally. That goes for anybody, not just seniors. You have to get out and interact to feel better.”

Peace of Mind.

Mark House and his son Dylan founded Code3 Animal Rescue Aviation to help pets that require long-distance travel to get to their new homes.

Rescue aviation team flies out of the TrentonRobbinsville Airport to find new homes for pets in distress By Rebekah Schroeder

At the Trenton–Robbinsville Airport, Mark and Dylan House are in a building by the quiet runway outside, hoping to explain the virtue of saving animals. It’s a small team of dedicated people who volunteered this weekend, all eagerly waiting for the time to get to work. Mark House proudly shows off his sizable photo album of Code3 Animal Rescue Aviation Team’s success stories, recounting the hardships and emotional journeys thus far. There’s pictures upon pictures of dogs, cats, even raccoons, all with thankful expressions. Code3 is a nonprofit rescue organization that uses planes to transport animals in need free of cost, usually to other related groups or causes, like shelters. Being saved can be the key to one day being adopted by a loving owner. “It’s a matter of life or death,” he said. “Every animal is urgent, especially if they’re sitting on death row or they need medical care.” The name Code3 comes from Mark’s days in the firefighting world as a volunteer for Mercerville Fire Company. Instructions for responding varied from Code 1, no lights and

sirens, Code 2, lights but no sirens, and finally Code3, with both blazing to show time was of the essence. Known affectionately as “Uncle Mark,” he also has a full-time job with a media organization on top of running Code3 as its president and executive director. Born and raised in Trenton, he now lives in Hamilton, where the organization is based. The story of Code3 starts with House’s rescued husky, Bella, who was flown from California to New Jersey in 2018 by a group called Pilots N Paws. At the time, Dylan House was a student pilot, and it seemed like a natural combination of appreciation and aviation for the family to help out with transporting for the nonprofit. “The more we dug in, that’s when we realized it’s not just one or dogs that need transport, there’s animals all over the United States that are trying to get somewhere,” Mark House said. After some time, blown away from the amount of cases, they decided to establish themselves independently. Code3 formed in April of 2019, but they did not keep annual logs at the time—yet in 2020, the rescue transported around 168 animals, and so far in 2021, Code3 has transported around 121 animals. Starting in late 2018, they became an unstoppable father-son duo, with Dylan, who has had a passion for flying since age 13, operating the skies, and Mark organizing the logistics mostly from the ground. He eliminates the “legwork” for rescues and shelters as a coordinator, and over-

what’s happening Back to stage & school Fall is coming, and with it hints of a return some sort of normalcy. Students in the region’s schools — many of which are highlighted in the special Back to School section starting on page 13 — are preparing to return to fulltime, in-person classroom instruction for the first time in more than a year. And cultural venues, from museums to theaters to concert halls, are equally hopeful that they will be welcoming audiences back to their galleries and auditoriums for live, in-person art, music, and theater. Dan Aubrey has a preview sampling of what’s to come this season beginning on page 4. But some venues aren’t waiting for fall. The Marie L. Matthews Art Gallery at the D&R Greenway’s Johnson Education Center in Princeton, is in the midst of its first in-person exhibit in more than a year. The aptly titled “Recovery” is a juried exhibit offered in partnership with the Garden State Watercolor Society (GSWCS), is on view by appointment through October 17. An outdoor awards ceremony and reception is set for Friday, September 10. In addition to the juried exhibit, members of GSWCS also have more than 100 “mini-paintings” illustrating aspects of the Delaware River on view in the education center’s lobby. drgreenway.org.

Realm: The Art of Gerard Rutgers Hardenbergh,” is on view through January 9, 2022. The exhibit examines the work of Gerard Rutgers Hardenbergh, the great-great-grandson of Rutgers’ (then Queens College’s) first president. Hardenbergh was a self-taught artist and ornithologist who split his time between New Brunswick and the Jersey Shore, where he would collect and preserve birds to be submitted as specimens to biologists at Princeton University. His paintings depicting birds were both scientifically accurate and well regarded by art enthusiasts during his lifetime (1856 to 1915). A gallery walk with Tom VanNostrand, a collector of Hardenbergh’s works, is set for Saturday, September 25. Entry to the museum, open Wednesdays through Sundays, cost $10. morven.org. And at Grounds For Sculpture in Hamilton, the 60-year retrospective of works by American sculptor Bruce Beasley remains on view through January 9, 2022. Beasley is known for his monumental works in cast iron, stainless steel, and aluminum, but also for his incorporation of modern technology, such as the use of virtual reality modeling, into his process. Timed admission tickets, $18, are required to visit the sculpture garden. groundsforsculpture.org.

from the cover Venues offer art and hope for an uncertain new season By Dan Aubrey The region’s art and culture venues are getting ready to get back to show business after a year where the spotlight was focused on the pandemic. And while there are some lingering questions of whether the shows will go or what social distancing protocols will be practiced, area presenters are cautiously optimistic and raising the curtains on some serious talent — much of it homegrown. Here’s a sampling of just some of the numerous fall events coming our way this fall.

Theater Stages The capital city-based Passage Theatre Company is presenting a “Trenton Makes” season of works created by artists and residents of the Trenton community for the Trenton community. “Not only are all of the shows set in Trenton, but they are all world premieres that were developed at Passage over the past several years,” says artistic director C. Ryanne Domingues. The company is using a cautious approach to returning to live theater during the current stage of the pandemic and is opening its season with a Writers’ Roundtable. The “behind-thescenes” event is a preview of a year by several of the playwrights creating it. That includes Bordentown writer David White. The donation-requested presentation is at 7 p.m. on Saturday, September 25. Then it’s time for the annual seasonal fundraiser performance. This year’s stage event is “A Christmas Carol” — performed by two Passage performers and a box of props. The date is Sunday, December 11. Passage Theater, Mill Hill Playhouse, 205 East Front Street, Trenton. 609-3920766. www.passagetheatre.org. *** The Cure Insurance Arena in Trenton hosts “Blippi The Musical,” based on the popular children’s YouTube sensation.

Cure Insurance Arena, 81 Hamilton Ave, Trenton 609-656-3200. www.cureinsurancearena.com. *** The Bordentown Historical Society’s “Harrowing History,” the popular performance series based on true-life sto-

ries of area crime and passion, returns on Saturday, September 18. After the success of last year’s debut, the BHS’s creative team is promising to offer six tales of “mayhem, murder, and mystery.” Presentations take place at the café space of the City of Bordentown’s newly acquired Divine Word Missionaries, located at the site where Joseph Bonaparte built his mansion. Shows run through November 6. Bordentown Historical Society. Presenting at Divine Word Missionaries. 609-298-1740. bordentownhistory.org/ harrowing-history. *** Hopewell Theater is also getting into the act by presenting live theatrical performances and standup comedy. Here’s what’s on tap: “Salami’s East Coast Comedy: Living Legends of Laughter: Featuring Anita Wise.” Joining the Mercer County based Tonight Show, Evening at the Improv, and “Seinfeld” regular are national stand up headliner Mike Eagan and impressionist, musician, and comedian Gary Delena, a former Hopewell resident. Thursday, September 23. The 50+ Comedy Tour of popular comedians over the age of 50. Hosted by Paul Anthony, a regular New York comedy presence, the Hopewell stop features Robin Fox, a Bridgewater, resident who after spending “17 years as a full-time mom and dieting” became a comedian and carries some weight in the New York and national comic clubs. Thursday, September 30. “Unsinkable Women: Stories and Songs from the Titanic,” October 10. New York City-based performer Deborah Jean Templin brings the story of the Titanic disaster alive through the voices of witnesses found in diaries, letters, and interviews. The production features costumes, characterizations, and original musical. Sunday, October 10.

“Dudes Interrupted” is a night of comedy featuring Brain Cichocki and Marc Kaye. In addition to his standup comedy career, Cichocki is also an actor and film director. He was raised in Trenton where, according to his biography, he “gained a broad education in human behavior as he moved in and out of many circles filled with mixed cultures and observing varying degrees of racial/ethnic tension.” Kaye is an East Coast comic circuit regular whose topics include “growing up differently,” child rearing, marriage, and divorce. Friday, October 15. “Anybody!,” presented by the New York based hip-hop improv team North Coast, mixes rap and improv comedy and relishes riffs on historic figures from Nikola Tesla to Louisa May Alcott. Saturday, November 13. “The Quickest Thinkers in Comedy: Baker & Mark” is the New York improv duo focused on its “never insulting or attacking” brand of humor. They bring their show honed in Atlantic City, Las Vegas, and on cruise lines to Hopewell on Friday, November 26. Hopewell Theater, 5 South Greenwood Avenue, Hopewell. 609-466-1964. www.

Visual Art Grounds For Sculpture in Hamilton will augment its usual schedule of sculpture exhibitions, such as the current one featuring national sculptor Bruce Beasley, with the premiere of its multisensory “The Night Forms Series” in November. Part of a two-year partnership with Klip Collective, the light and sound project was specifically designed for GFS’s 42 acres of sculpture and landscape design. Klip Collective is a Philadelphiabased creative studio that uses projection mapping, lighting, and sound design to create immersive sensory experiences. Founded in 2003 by media artist Ricardo Rivera, it has collaborated with the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington D.C., Philadelphia Museum of Art, Center for Contemporary Art in Moscow, Sundance Film Festival’s New Frontier, and Longwood Gardens. The first commission, “Night Forms: dreamloop,” will feature more than a dozen designs by Rivera that bring visitors into a “visual and sonic landscape.” The evening presentations will

Kauffman’s “Constant Repeating Themes.” A prominent, award-winning street art photographer and former New Jersey Network photo journalist based in Ewing, Kauffman says: “The themes of urban landscape and man’s impact on the environment have long intrigued me both artistically and intellectually. I witness this in constructions as simple as building façades in a strip mall to the deserted athletic fields in parks and playgrounds. I seek to contrast and compare the interactions of natural and man-made elements.” On view September 11 through October 9, with an opening reception set for September 11. “Talk to Me,” a visual conversation between New Hope-based painter Janet Filomeno and Hoboken artist Katherine Parker, follows. The works and exhibition were born when the two artists met by chance 25 years ago, became friends, and shared ideas. And while each continued to paint and show extensively in the New York/ New Jersey area, their studio visits over the years became “an important touchstone for each, a means of trying out and sharing new work, of examining challenges.” October 16 through November 20.

Classical Music The Princeton Symphony Orchestra, one of the few regional performing arts groups to maintain presentations over the past year, opens its season in September with two outdoor — bring your own chair — chamber concerts at Morven Museum & Garden in Princeton. The first is the Jasper String Quartet. The Philadelphia ensemble and professional quartet-in-residence at Temple University will perform works by American composer Florence Price and French composer Maurice Ravel. Thursday, September 16. The Exponential Ensemble, based in New York City, follows with a concert featuring works by less familiar 20th and 21st century composers, including the late New Jersey resident Ulysses Kay and contemporary American artist Valerie Coleman. Thursday, September 23. The orchestra gets serious in October when it heads to Princeton’s McCarter Theater where maestro Rossen Milanov conducts “Mendelssohn & Beethoven.” The program features Felix Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto performed by 25-year-old Seattle-born violinist Simone Porter. Other selections include Beethoven’s Fourth Symphony and New York City-born Jessie Montgomery's “Banner,” written in 2014 as a tribute to the 200th anniversary of “The Star Spangled Banner.” Sunday, October 3.

At the Old Town Pub, the Roaring Twenties are back By Catherine Bialkowski It is just over a century since the dawn of the Roaring Twenties, a decade known for jazz, flappers, bourbon, and of course, speakeasies. In 2021, it feels fitting to pay tribute to the culture of the 100-year-old decade, and I got to do just that through food, drink, and entertainment when I visited Farns & Rail, a secret upstairs compartment of Old Town Pub (formerly The Farnsworth House) on historic Farnsworth Avenue in Bordentown. The pub’s location is fitting for a restaurant with a vintage theme; walking through historic downtown Bordentown, lined with colonial architecture, is reminiscent of taking a step backward into the past. Owner Michael Scharibone, who is from Hamilton Township, says he was “born and raised in the restaurant industry.” He started at Jojo’s Tavern, his family’s restaurant, when he was 18, and worked there until opening Old Town Pub in 2017. Since before the COVID-19 pandemic began, Scharibone, bar manager and events coordinator Lexi Collins, and Joe Chianese, another manager at Old Town

Old Town Pub owner Michael Scharibone liked the idea of a vintage-style speakeasy, and the COVID-19 shutdown gave him the time to execute his vision.

Experience The “UNEXPECTED’ In Customer Service®

3 restaurants opening in Ewing’s Campus Town By Joe Emanski

YEARS

Campus Town, the mixed-use development on the campus of The College of New Jersey in Ewing, is set to welcome three new restaurants in time for the fall semester. The new restaurants include two chains — one very familiar, one perhaps less well known — as well as Pastadoro, a new locally owned spot with an intriguing business model. The chains are Jersey Mike’s, the popular and rapidly growing sandwich chain based in Manasquan, and Arooga’s Grille House and Sports Bar, which is based in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and has 16 locations, most of them in the Keystone State. The new restaurants will be looking to join those that have endured at Campus Town: Mariachi Grill, Yummy Sushi,

and Panera Bread, as well as sweet treat spots RedBerry and Insomnia Cookies. And they will be hoping to fare better than those that have come and gone, including Lion Dog and Piccolo Pronto, whose space is set to be taken by Pastadoro. Greg Lentine is senior vice president of sales and marketing for PRC Group, which manages Campus Town. He says that TCNJ students and staff account for only 35 to 45 percent of the revenue generated by Campus Town businesses, meaning noncollege customers are essential to the success of the site. “That was the idea when it opened up — Campus Town was designed specifically to bring the community in,” Lentine says. Arooga’s (aroogas.com) will be seen as a like-for-like replacement for Landmark Americana, another sports bar-style

chain concept, which closed in 2019. Old Bridge-based franchisee Igor Zak already operates Arooga’s locations in East Brunswick and Howell. Arooga’s will feature 100 TVs and a menu featuring burgers, wings, strombolis, cheesesteaks, sandwiches and fajitas. Lentine describes the sports bar as a “family-type place.” “That’s what we’re looking to come to Campus Town. We don’t want a party bar, we want a place where people can go get decent food. Their business model is for 70% food, 30% alcohol, that’s what we were looking for.” Pastadoro (pastadoro.com) is a new quick-service concept that will have fresh, scratch-made pastas and sauces on the menu. Among the partners in the restaurant is Anthony Adragna, formerly the owner of Café Antonio’s in Morrisville, Pennsylvania. Quick-service means customers order at the counter, building their own pasta dishes based on the day’s offerings. They can mix and match tagliatelle or rigatoni with marinara or primavera sauce and meatballs or grilled chicken for a protein. Think Chipotle with an Italian twist. Partner Lou Busico will manage the restaurant. Busico is also the chef proprietor of Bucks County-based caterer The Dough Moe. He says Adragna is the one who conceptualized the idea for the restaurant and helped bring him on board as someone to bring the idea to life. Pastadoro will also feature a variety

of gelatos, including some that will be dairy free. Busico says he hopes to be open and running smoothly by the time students are on campus. “The focus is always on the food, which is going to be all fresh made in house with top-of-the-line equipment and experienced chefs,” Busico says. “And everything is going to be customizable. It’s homemade, but it’s by you.” Lentine says Campus Town is in advanced negotiations with other new dining venues as well, including possibly a bubble tea spot as well as a restaurant featuring Mexican desserts.

Fancy French cuisine? Try the escargots at Rat’s By Joe Emanski With its French country interior and an exterior designed to make diners feel like they are inside a Claude Monet painting, Rat’s Restaurant (named for a character from Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows) is a singular dining experience. And that is true even if one heads straight to the restaurant without first taking a tour of Hamilton’s Grounds for Sculpture, where the restaurant is located. Rat’s is popular for its craft cocktails and extensive wine list, as well as its French-style cuisine. And alongside favorites like French onion soup, duck breast, braised short rib and and salmon rillettes (available for Happy Hour) is executive chef Richard Freeman’s take on that classic French favorite: escargots. Freedman began his career in Philadelphia at Beau Monde and the Ritz Carlton before heading to France to study charcuterie on a pig farm in Gascony. He returned to the states to Philadelphia, where he worked to make a variety of sausages and charcuterie at venues as varied as the Sidecar, Opa, Citizens Bank Park (home of the Philadelphia Phillies), Lincoln Financial Field (home of the Eagles) and the Pennsylvania Conven-

tion Center. He has worked for Chef Jose Garces and at DiBruno Brothers in Philadelphia, among others, and has been at Rat’s for 3 years. Freedman says that Potironne Company — the supplier of Rat’s escargots — provides wild Burgundy snails to some of the top restaurants in the country and world. He was working at Beau Monde back in 2000 when he met Potironne owner Douglas “The Snailman” Dussault in France, and learned the story about Potironne’s origins. “[Dussault] was a chef who worked at Taillevent and started selling snails to Daniel Boulud and other top chefs and restaurants,” Freedman says. “I tried a can, and have been using them ever since,” Freedman says. Freedman says the texture, size and shape of Potironne escargots are superior to any others, and says other brands do not take the time Potironne does to cook the snails in broth with fresh bay leaves, hand-cut carrots and aromatics. “The way the snails are raised on old grape vines is similar to how they grow in the wild. Many people are turned off by the rubbery texture of snails — but that is because they have never tasted ones of this quality,” he says. On the web: ratsrestaurant.com.

We’ll get you moving again, quickly and with less pain. Visit rwjbh.org/ortho to learn more.

Escargots in morel crème, peas, puff pastry Potironne escargots are available to Rat’s Restaurant and other top restaurants, but they are also available to home cooks through the Larkspur, Colorado-based Potironne Company, which imports the snails from France. For those who wish to try their hand at preparing snails at home, Rat’s executive chef Richard Freedman shares his recipe for escargots in morel crème with peas and puff pastry. More recipes, as well as information on how to order cans of Potironne snails, are available online at potironne.com.

the Cambridge School A School Where Children Who Learn Differently Can Thrive Children who learn differently deserve to be educated in a school where they can thrive. For over 20 years, Cambridge School, in Pennington, NJ, has been that place, an extraordinary K-12 school that specializes in educating students with language-based learning differences. The guiding principle of the Cambridge School, since its founding, has been that every child deserves the opportunity for an excellent education. Cambridge is committed to providing that education in a warm, nurturing and individualized learning environment for children who learn differently. Our mission is to prepare each student with the necessary academic, personal and social skills to succeed. Students diagnosed with languagebased learning differences such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, auditory processing disorder, or executive function challenges, typically struggle in traditional academic settings. Cambridge teachers are highly trained language specialists who utilize a studentcentered approach to provide a personalized, yet comprehensive educational experience.

When taught using research based methods that target their unique learning difference, these bright children achieve measurable academic success. The Cambridge language curriculum is supported by the use of evidence based programs. Utilizing explicit, direct and systematic instruction, our teachers are able to scaffold and support the unique needs of each child. As educators, we believe that multisensory teaching strategies create more engaging, concrete and meaningful learning experiences. Enhanced by small classes, our approach allows each student to progress at his or her own pace. The result? Students increase their learning skills, gain confidence and self-esteem; and learn that they can thrive. Cambridge School also has an impressive staff of highly qualified Speech and Language Pathologists and Occupational Therapists. For students who require these additional services our therapists design an individualized and comprehensive therapeutic program. They work with the student individually in therapy as well as collaboratively with his or her teacher to ensure that the therapy goals generalize into the academic classroom. If you feel your child might benefit from a

Cambridge School education, we invite you to come for a personal tour. Our campus is located in the Princeton, NJ area, though our students come from all over New Jersey and parts of Pennsylvania, particularly Bucks County. Discover how your child can thrive at thecambridgeschool.org or call us at 609-7309553. See ad, page 18.

the Laurel School of Princeton Accessing Your Child’s Strength as a Learner

By Bob Thomas, Head of The Laurel School of Princeton The thought of your child having a learning difference often strikes fear and concern from parents who believe their child may get left behind because of their learning difference. Periodically, that happens with some public and independent schools, who are not equipped with the resources and trained teachers to meet the needs of these children. However, parents should feel assured there are outstanding independent schools dedicated to educating their children and recognizing their strengths and potential. Students with learning differences have unique challenges that impact their ability to learn. It doesn’t mean they can’t learn; it only means they need strategies and tools to help them manage their learning styles. Empowering students with language-based learning differences to discover

their unique path is the mission of The Laurel School of Princeton. Some parents will think that a school for students with learning differences means not receiving the same education as their counterparts in public or traditional independent schools. This is not the case. Through a comprehensive educational program paralleling the scope and sequence of many public and independent schools, Laurel School delivers life-changing academic skills and promotes selfconfidence, self-esteem, and selfadvocacy to students who have been diagnosed with languagebased learning differences. We teach with evidence-based techniques that incorporate a structured, multisensory, and prescriptive approach, including STEM, humanities, the arts, digital literacy, and PE in our elementary and middle school curriculum, and a challenging program in high school, such as physics, biology, algebra, and electives. Each Laurel School high school student builds a transcript reflecting their unique skills, strengths, and interests. A Mastery Transcript allows the flexibility and

freedom to facilitate a challenging, interdisciplinary curriculum, with learning opportunities in a traditional classroom setting. All of these programs are taught by teachers who have years of experience teaching children with learning differences and are certified to instruct using a multisensory and inquiry-based approach. One other important aspect of The Laurel School is its Executive Function curriculum. With learning sometimes taking place in person or remotely, never has it been more important to help students apply executive function strategies. This is especially true for students who struggle with learning differences. Delivered through the SMARTS program (Strategies, Motivation, Awareness, Resilience, Talents, Success), in grades 1 through 5, students engage in skills classes directly instructing them in executive functioning and social-emotional skills. Lessons focus on developing a strategic mindset, emotional resiliency, and the successful use of strategies across academic and social/emotional areas. As students advance through grades 6-12, their academic performance is increasingly dependent on their

Bob Thomas, head of The Laurel School of Princeton ability to organize and prioritize complex information, shift flexibly, access working memory, and selfmonitor. The Laurel School of Princeton provides a safe, supportive environment encouraging creativity and risk-taking. No child should feel bad about themselves or struggle needlessly because a school can’t accommodate their learning needs. The Laurel School of Princeton “sees” your child, and, more importantly, we help your children see themselves.

Hamilton Area YMCA Serving the Community for More Than 70 Years The Hamilton Area YMCA was born of a need to serve children and families in the community and 70 years on, they’re still doing that, and so much more. Led by their history-making female CEO, Diana Zita, the inclusive organization accomplishes its mission through programs that nurture the potential of young people, improve individual health and well-being, and provide opportunities to give back to the community and support our neighbors. Over the last 70 years, the Y has transformed from a small organization providing programming, summer camp and child care at sites including schools and churches to an organization of nearly 12,000 members (prepandemic). The organization has two facilities – the JKR Branch in the center of Hamilton and the Sawmill Branch in the more rural Yardville area of town – and, has expanded and adjusted its program offerings over the last

seven decades to ensure that they consistently serve the everchanging needs of the community. Some of the programs the Hamilton Area YMCA offers are timeless, the things that our community will always need, such as: • Child Care • Swim Lessons • Summer Camp • Group Exercise Classes • Wellness Center • Youth Sports In recent years, the Hamilton Area YMCA has expanded to ensure that they reach every

member of the community. This led to the creation of programs that address friends and neighbors with specific health or developmental needs: • Diverse Abilities programming for children and adults • Healthy Living programs for those living with chronic illness These programs demonstrate The Y’s commitment to ensuring the impact of their mission of youth development, healthy living and social responsibility is felt throughout all parts of Central New Jersey. Heading into its 70th year the

Hamilton Area YMCA faced its most daunting transformation to date with the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the pandemic dramatically impacting the organization and forcing their doors closed, their service to the community never ended. The Y mobilized child care for first-responders and essential workers, hosted blood drives to combat the critically low blood supplies at local hospitals, and held food drives to stem the increase in food insecurity. Many of these services borne of the pandemic are continuing in addition to the Y’s regular programming now that the Y is returning to a more “normal” level of service. As a non-profit organization, the Hamilton Area YMCA relies on the support of the community to do its mission work. The Y enjoys partnerships with a variety of local businesses, corporations and foundations and raises funds through their annual giving campaign and special events held throughout the year. If you would like to learn more about the Hamilton Area YMCA, these programs, and so much more, visit the organization’s website at www.hamiltonymca.org. See ad, page 17.

SKIT

Back to School 2021

A Special Kind of Improvisational Theater YES, And! Those two small words have been proven to be life-changing for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and other conditions that impact their social and/or communication skills. People who learn and practice this simple technique in their lives have grown to develop strong communication and social skills along with building confidence, listening skills, collaboration skills, and very importantly, what makes them unique. For more than 14 years professional actor and founder of JW actors studio, Jody Wood, has taught children and adults the skills and principles of improvisational theater. Workshop participants have reported a wide range of transformative benefits that impact many aspects of their lives and work, including courage in risktaking, discovering hidden talents and capabilities, creativity, focus, and presentation skills. Applying his skills, Jody Wood began conducting workshops based on improvisational theater

techniques for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, and other unique communication needs. Inspired by the possibilities, he developed, tested, and formalized a new program; SKIT® (Special Kind of Improvisational Theater) was launched to the community. In Jody’s TEDx Talk he describes his journey from New York to Hollywood actor and director all the way to becoming the founder and director of SKIT®.

The goal of SKIT® is to introduce and build communication skills, social skills, and confidence to improve the ability to form relationships, friendships, participate in life more fully, and to have an opportunity to secure more purposeful employment and meaningful careers. SKIT® has expanded the programs offered to acting for those who are serious about the craft, songwriting, playwriting and storytelling, and a popular class, workplace communication. SKIT® is a strong

advocate for inclusion of people with disabilities in the meaningful workplace and in films and television. Accomplished in a fun, highenergy atmosphere, students often don’t even realize they are learning these critical skills because they are having such a great time! SKIT is about opening the doors to what is possible. We focus on the ability for everyone to be their very best. We have had so many students, parents, and caretakers tell us from their hearts that, “I’m telling all of my friends how the improv (in SKIT) facilitates so many skills for my son. Previously it had been very hard for him to think in the moment and to speak out!” SKIT® has multiple locations, virtual classes, and has established many community relationships, including other local programs such as Encouraging Kids Family Resource Center. SKIT® looks forward to serving more families in the state of New Jersey with locations now in Pennington, Beverly, and Deptford. We are also still offering virtual classes.

Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart Four things parents can do to help their daughters become confident leaders At Stuart, girls are free to be who they want to be: a leader, an athlete, an artist, a philanthropist, a scientist. Girls are given the opportunity to grow, to be challenged, and to challenge others in a safe environment. Our mission is to educate girls for lives of exceptional leadership and service. With outstanding academics and our expert and innovative faculty — who know girls and know each girl well — Stuart girls discover ways to unleash the strength within and transform themselves into brave, bold, powerful and wonderful young women. Below are four ways parents can support their daughters’ leadership development: 1. Listen. One of the most important things that parents can do is to listen. Ask your daughter

“THE KIDS LOVE BENEFIT FROM SOCIAL SKILLS IMPROVING AND THINKING ON TH

lines of communication that we open at the two-year-old stage, and beyond, are really important and will help set a foundation for conversations and understanding later. 4. Guide your daughter to create aspirational goals. How often is your daughter asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” While it seems like an innocuous question, it can actually be pretty overwhelming. Instead of asking girls what they want to be when they grow up, why not ask them, “How do you see yourself impacting the world?” Ask your daughter how she sees herself collaborating with others. These kinds of questions will spark her creativity and allow you to better direct and guide her on her journey of leadership and self-discovery. To learn more about how your daughter will develop her leadership skills through academics, the arts, athletics, service and more at Stuart, we invite you to join us at our fall open house on Sunday, October 17, 1 to 3 p.m. Register at www. stuartschool.org/openhouse or SPECIAL KIND OF IMPROVISATIONAL THEATER call 609-921-2330 to schedule a personal tour.

questions. Don’t necessarily respond, but just listen to what your daughter is saying. What is she telling you? What journey is she taking you on? From these conversations you can both discover what’s most important to her. 2. Find activities that pique her interest. Get your daughter involved in a lot of activities. Not overwhelmingly so, but get her involved in things that pique her interest in a unique way. Whether it’s a sporting activity, an art class, or a science class–any type of

stimulation that your daughter might be interested in. As a parent, you can help guide your daughter to find these activities and pursue them. 3. Create open lines of communication. Sometimes when you really listen to your daughter and the lines of communication are open, amazing things take place. What I hear sometimes from high school parents is, “They’re not talking to me! Or why won’t they say something?” While this is developmentally appropriate for high school age children, the

Hamilton Dental Associates The Essential Back-ToSchool Tips for a Healthy Smile By Sydney Richter With the new school year quickly approaching, is your child’s dental health ready? School will be back in session before you know it, and it’s time to make sure your child is starting off right. Here is your guide to keeping your child’s mouth healthy this year. 1. Visit the dentist. A dental cleaning and exam is a back-toschool essential. There are many options for treatment to prevent cavities and tooth decay... give us a call to find out what is right for your child. Set your child up for success by setting up an appointment before you have to remove them from school. According to Delta Dental’s Children’s Oral Health survey, a third of children miss school because of oral health problems. By prioritizing your child’s dental checkups and exams, you will help instill a habit to maintain their dental hygiene. Regular care and maintenance is extremely important in the long-run, as it has a long-term impact on your child’s oral health. 2. Stick to a schedule. Build in time for a fun dental routine with your kids. Schedule a morning and bedtime brush along with other daily routines. Let your child choose their own toothbrush and toothpaste to make it as fun as possible. Rewarding their good habits is also important, especially for young children. Consistency is key for kids of all ages, and having a routine can be a comforting habit that gives them a sense of normalcy, especially during pandemic times. Teaching your children to take care of themselves and their health is also

beneficial for their confidence and performance in school. 3. Make brushing and flossing fun! Remind your kids they need to brush twice a day for two minutes. Flossing daily is also extremely important, especially after eating dinner. There are a lot of things you can do to get your kids excited about oral hygiene, such as sticker calendars, music, or kid-friendly floss holders. 4. Choose the right snacks. Switch from sugary snacks to healthy, kid-friendly alternatives. Instead of candy or chips, try nuts or fresh fruits instead. Avoid granola bars and sticky sweets, and instead opt for celery sticks, baby carrots, or cheese cubes. These healthy habits will also increase their focus and attention throughout the school day. However, be careful with salty snacks; simple starches can break down into a gooey coat on teeth that can cause decay. There is lots of added sugar hiding in juices, teas, and other flavored drinks. Encourage your children to stay away from sugary drinks and to drink lots of water throughout the day. 5. Stay Prepared. If your child is involved in sports, make sure to invest in a mouth guard for extra protection, and prioritize drinking water instead of sugary sports drinks. Having a back-up plan for dental emergencies is always a good idea, especially for the unpredictable back-to-school season. The first step in taking care of your child’s dental needs is visiting the dentist for customized care. Schedule an appointment today with our Pediatric Dentistry Services!

Regenerative Spine and Pain Institute Taking the Fight Against Chronic Pain to New Levels 27 different therapies available to patients, Dr. Patel offers a range of treatments, often combined to attack highly specific causes of pain. Among the most promising and innovative treatments:

otox for migraines. Stem cell injections to regenerate tissue and organs. Gummy Bears infused with THC. Platelet-Rich Plasma to treat conditions from sports injuries and wounds to hair loss from chemotherapy. These are just a few of the cutting-edge therapies used by Dr. Ronak Patel, the founder and medical director of Regenerative Spine and Pain Institute in Plainsboro. “Many of these treatments may come as a surprise to patients suffering from chronic pain, especially those who think that their pain — and poor quality of life — is something they have to endure,” Dr. Patel notes. A double board-certified anesthesiologist and pain management specialist, Dr. Patel focuses on treating pain in the back, neck, face, and joints as well as pain related to cancer and chemotherapy. With so many different pain-causing illnesses, injuries, and conditions, treatments must be carefully customized to fit the needs of each individual patient. Dr. Patel partners with orthopedists, physical and occupational therapists, and chiropractors to provide a variety of approaches and treatments. With

Regenerative Medicine/ Stem Cell Therapy. Regenerative medicine is a fastgrowing, highly developed treatment that helps the body heal or rebuild itself. Dr. Patel uses stem cell therapy to treat ailments, particularly low back or neck pain, caused by degenerative vertebral discs or joint pain in the shoulders, hips, or knees caused by osteoarthritis. The patient’s stem cells are removed, purified, concentrated, and injected into the injured or weakened tissue. Stem cell therapy can also speed recovery and help avoid surgery. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). A favorite treatment for sports injuries, PRP uses the patient’s blood to produce a platelet-rich plasma that targets a host of chronic and acute pain conditions, including muscle strain, arthritis, tendinosis, cartilage injuries, joint inflammation, and wound care. The treatment is also used in orthopedic and plastic surgery. By synthesizing platelets and releasing proteins, PRP can aid in generating new tissue. And it has helped chemotherapy patients grow back hair faster and thicker.

Cannabis Therapy. The legalization of medical marijuana has brought new treatment options. “We are very excited by the potential of cannabis-based treatments and we comply fully with New Jersey’s evolving regulations,” says Dr. Patel. He uses a local dispensary to provide treatments, which include edibles such as gummy bears and cannabis-based rubbing and vaping oils. Minimally Invasive Therapy. Dr. Patel offers a wide variety of minimally invasive therapies. These include epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections, radiofrequency ablation, and spinal cord stimulation for patients suffering from chronic neck and back pain stemming from herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, or spinal stenosis. His goal is to help his patients avoid surgery and at the same time regain functionality. Thanks to these and other game-changing treatments, pain levels can be greatly reduced or eliminated and quality of life enhanced. Says Dr. Patel, “Stop your pain. Start your life.”

Code3 helps paralyzed husky get to fur-ever home 1,200 miles away Code3 Animal Rescue Aviation Team, recently helped a paralyzed husky get from Mississippi to her new fur-ever home in New Jersey. Weeks after a husky was left for dead on the side of a Mississippi road, she is getting the chance at a brandnew life in New Jersey. The long journey to a new home began when Mark House got a call from a local husky rescue asking for help. “They asked if we could help transport a paralyzed husky from Mississippi to New Jersey,” House said. “The dog’s backstory was one of the most heart-wrenching stories I had ever heard. So, of course we were determined to help this sweet girl.” Elsa (now renamed Memphis) is a young husky believed to be between six months and one year old. Rescuers in Mississippi found the dog unable to move on the side of a road where she lay for 3 days in the sweltering summer heat. People stopped and left her food and water, but because she was unable to move, she couldn’t reach it. The dog was finally rescued by a local rescue in Yazoo City and taken to emergency veterinarians. At first, rescuers believed she had been hit by a car, but it was soon determined that she had been shot and the bullet was lodged in her spine causing paralysis

of her hips and rear legs. After the dog was shot, it is believed that she was most likely was dumped from a vehicle onto the side of the road. “She was a determined dog that refused to give up,” House says. “It was her determination and will to survive that I fed off to make this mission happen. If she wasn’t going to give up, neither was I. I was determined to get her to New Jersey.” Code3 needed countless hours of planning, coordination, pilot scheduling and a little help from mother nature to pull the 4-plane, 12-hour air transport together for Memphis. “Missions like this take a village of people and organizations to come together and make them happen.” House said. “To save just one dog there are many organizations across multiple states that dedicate many hours to help. Code3 is just one part of the big picture.” Memphis made the trip just fine, House reports. She slept “like a rock” the first night in her new home and is doing very well. “We’re always happy when we get to see an outcome like this,” House said. The mission was flown with the help of Pilots N Paws and their nationwide group of pilots.

sees the entire transportation process down to the details. “We thought that we could just do so much more if we had our own organization, so we formed Code3 Animal Rescue Aviation Team,” Mark House said. They have also helped with an array of medical cases for animals in need, including cases involving prosthetics, vaccines and sterilization procedures. Code3 contacts pilots and enlists their talents to complete the volunteer rescue work. They made friendships through their start with Pilots N Paws, then met others through meeting at airports or connecting with them naturally. The pilots get to fly and help out, all while their expenses are tax-deductible because of Code3 being a registered nonprofit organization. “It’s nice for them, because these guys, when they get their pilot’s license, it’s around 40-50 hours, but then to fly commercially they have to have at least 1,500. That’s a whole lot of hours in between that they need so they can do this kind of stuff, help them build hours, help them save lives, it’s a win-win all the way around,” Mark House said. Those who choose to help are often likeminded individuals with a fondness for animals. “A lot of guys, again, they’re doctors, lawyers, business owners, they have their own planes, they fly and this gives them a reason other than just go somewhere to lunch and come

back, they can actually help a life,” he continued. Raised in a family of animal lovers, especially his mother, Mark House went on to create the same kind of appreciation with his children: Dylan, 18, Brenden, 20, and Cory, 25. “My mom didn’t have a whole lot growing up, so I watched others kind of help us, and then that just kind of trained me that someday, I’m gonna help others the way we were helped. Happy to be able to do it, fortunate to be able to do it, for sure,” Mark House said. Inspired from his own childhood vacations and travels, Dylan House envisions a career in aviation. He’s flown kittens to their forever homes in Providence, Rhode Island, ground transports to Maryland, and many other journeys under the young pilot’s belt. “My other hobbies, honestly, all include flying and animals. I’ve always wanted to fly since I was little,” Dylan House said. “I wouldn’t mind at all being a commercial pilot at some point.” “We spend a lot of time together,” Mark House said of their bond. “We’ve always spent weekends together doing things, so this is just kind of an extension.” His other sons are involved too, with all three of the brothers serving as board trustees who help out when they can. Cory House is currently an inactive member, and BrenSee CODE3, Page 12

CODE3 continued from Page 11 den House is an active member on ground transports. “It’s just one big family here at the airport, even though I don’t fly,” Mark House said. “It’s a lot of fun just being together.” Mark House, of course, has “the boss,” the face of Code3’s logo, and ringleader, Bella, who helps Dylan complete pre-flight inspections, as well as Akira, who has an autoimmune skin disease. She was 12 hours from being put down until, with the help of another rescue called Husky House, she was flown from New Mexico to New Jersey. Dylan owns Dakota, a dog he had “love at first sight” with when the animal peed on him, Princess, and DJ, a cat from a local groomer who owned spare kittens in need of a good home. “When you hold them, they just look right into your eyes. It’s almost like they’re saying thank you, without saying anything,” Dylan House said. In the future, he is going to be Code3’s chief pilot. They received attention in early August when a dog named Memphis was abandoned in Mississippi, paralyzed from a bullet to her spine and left for dead until local rescues came to her aid. (See sidebar.) “There’s always one that seems to outdo the other, but because of her backstory, and how she lay there in the sweltering heat for three days on the side of the road, to this, to these pictures here of just love and hugs... It’s the happiest ending that you can ever imagine other than the ones we’ve adopted,” Mark said of Memphis’ journey. Bella’s tale was so important to him because it somewhat mirrored the struggle the House family underwent with Akira. The Covid-19 pandemic actually

allowed for the nonprofit organization to take advantage of the free time pilots had to spare from staying home. In an era of uncertainty, Mark helped prioritize furry friends who might have been close to euthanasia in shelters or in cases of abuse. Code3 is asked to provide transporting services on a weekly basis, and they can typically travel about 400 to 500 miles from the direct point of central New Jersey. In order to minimize the amount of time flying, their range of service generally ends around North Carolina, taking around four to five hours one-way, or less, in the air. They do utilize pilots in other areas to work out journeys outside of the usual scope as needed. Now, as the economy readjusts and everyone returns to their normal occupations, it’s harder to schedule flights, and the duties trickle over into weekends like it did before 2020. “There are so many animals [that] we could be flying every day of the week, and I could probably put as many planes as I have out there to actually help...There were a lot of adoptions in 2020, which was a great thing, [but] now they’re being surrendered again as people get on with their lives, which is pretty sad. So there’s a big need, and I think just growing the organization, one day we’ll hopefully have our own branded plane out there and everybody will know it,” Mark House said. “There’s a whole lot more animals I wish we could help, and I think that’s our goal, is to try to fly a whole lot more and help more animals.” Events have been limited because of coronavirus cases, but the organization never paused their version of holiday festivities. Operation Santa, both in 2019 and 2020, allowed for people to bring their rescues for a joyous, fuzzy celebration. Mark House

himself transforms into the wintry character. Notably, a dog named Charlotte was found on the streets of Trenton, where she suffered from parvo, a deadly, contagious virus that wrecked her body through serious illness which turned her horizontal. Along with Trenton Animal Shelter and Husky House, Code3 stepped in to help save her life. “She got all better, she got adopted, and that’s her adopted family,” Mark showed a picture while glowing, “Then she saw Santa! So again, from a near-death experience in a shelter to a happy life and meeting Santa Claus.” Besides bringing Christmastime cheer, they also partner with the Bag of Bones Barkery, a Hamilton pet shop who is “[their] biggest supporter” that helps by rounding up purchases, at the customer’s choice, to help local rescues. In the future, they would love to bring the educational aspect of the nonprofit to fruition through going into schools—a

reality that did not happen due to the pandemic. “We do have the ability to go into a school, or any kind of organization, and talk to kids, not only about flying, animals, taking care of your animals, just all around have fun,” Mark House said. “Yeah, what kid doesn’t love a good puppy?” Dylan House laughed. His father added, “We can bring samples!” with another chuckle. To the House family, it is important to them to show anyone interested in helping can always participate beyond donations and volunteers. “Do what you can to help animals from being in that position,” Dylan House said. “Yes, do your part,” Mark House emphasized, “Don’t put the animals in that position, don’t surrender, animals are for life. Help out, and if you see animals in need, make a phone call or help any way you can.” On the web: code3rescue.org.

Sophie Berman, armed with pink cleats, is ready to score By Rich Fisher

It’s not often a soccer player has to live up to her footwear’s reputation. But when Sophie Berman wanted a pair of flaming pink cleats, she took on just such a challenge. “Before we got them, my dad said ‘If you want to be this vibrant on the field you have to play vibrant,” the Robbinsville High senior said. So she did, lighting up the pitch in the same way her feet were all aglow. In the eight games she wore them, Sophie scored 14 of her team-high 15 goals and garnered nine assists. She was prettiest in pink during the NJSIAA Central West A championship game; scoring five goals in a 6-1 win over Delaware Valley. “Needless to say,” coach Caitlyn Curran observed, “she did wonders with those shoes.” “I was playing well,” Berman said, ‘but as soon as that (title) game came around it was the shoes that did it.” The Ravens did not gather as a team on the field again until Aug. 16 for the first day of practice. When Berman showed up, it was with a pair of bland cleats. “I said ‘We’re gonna need to those

magical boots, where are they?’” Curran said. Sophie assured the coach they were in her bag and will still be a weapon. “I think they’ll be game cleats,” she said. “I can’t retire them.” And while that’s a sigh of relief for the Ravens, there was one other factor that may have been a tad more helpful in Berman’s scoring explosion. After playing as an outside midfielder as a sophomore, she was moved to center-mid last year. That experiment lasted two games into the season before Berman was shifted to center-forward while Kenzie Martin dropped back to center-mid. It looked like a precarious move when Robbinsville dropped two straight to Princeton and Hopewell, but suddenly things started to click and the Ravens won eight of their last nine to finish 9-3-1. It was the first time Berman played up front in her career. She couldn’t have felt more at home than if she

were in her living room. “She’s always been goal hungry,” Curran said. “In her four years here, she has always had very high expectations of herself, perhaps higher than even we expect. It’s worked out because of her drive, her passion and her willingness to help us win. “She is very aggressive going forward. She’s very technical with her feet as well. We saw an opportunity with her speed and her stamina to go forward and be fearless about it. We made the switch hoping it would open things up for us up top.” Another key reason is that, like most goal scorers, Berman is hungry to find the back of the net. “She loves to shoot,” Curran said. “We figured if we got her a little closer to goal it would help us out, and it definitely helped us out. She was taking a lot of shots from the center midfield and just wasn’t hitting the mark. So making that adjustment and putting her at a forward position and getting

Like most goal scorers, Berman is hungry to find the back of the net.

her closer to the net to see the angles better; she just took off with it.” Berman started soccer in Robbinsville rec at age 3, when “my mom signed me up and I just kept going.” She actually began as a goalie, which didn’t last long. “Everyone goes through that little phase,” she said with a laugh. Moving on to club soccer, Sophie played for Robbinsville and Bordentown before settling in at Match Fit. Most of her time was spent at outside back, where she still plays on occasion in club. After playing JV for the Ravens as a freshman, Berman made varsity and was moved to outside mid. The player and coach did not seem to agree on her effectiveness there. “Sophomore year was a little hard for me,” Berman said. “I kind of struggled keeping the width of the field at outside mid, so I don’t think that was the place for me. It had nothing to do with coaching, I just needed to work on myself. After Covid shut down everything I started really putting in the work.” Curran had a slightly different view of Berman on the outside, saying “she did a great job transitioning

We saw an opportunity for her not only to do that but get forward while doing it and take advantage at the net.” Both parties agree that Berman belongs up front. Aside from shooting and passing skills, she is also able to beat defenders one-v-one which gives her added scoring opportunities. “I’ve always been one to have a knack for goals and shooting,” Berman said. “That was real exciting getting moved up. I like being up there working hard and knowing I was the highest point of attack and had everyone around me. “I have a left foot which a lot of people didn’t know about, but now they do. In the beginning of a game it’s very helpful but as soon as they catch on it’s a bit less helpful. But I also do have a right foot so I think I can kind of throw off people with that.” Because of her newness to the forward position, Berman did not receive much extra defensive attention last year. Defenders were aware of her, but not to the point of suffocating coverage. “Her name was on the map,” Curran said. “She might have had a tighter mark to her, but there weren’t people following her all over the field so she was able to find space. “She also creates a lot of space. Even in the games she was man marked she’s non-stop moving all the time. She’s a little frustrating to mark, I’m sure, so that always helps us out.” Things could change a bit this year,

however. “I just know if I was coaching against her, that’s definitely a name on the grid for me,” Curran said. “I expect her to be marked more. I do expect her to a name other coaches are talking about when they’re coming into games with us, but I don’t expect her to do anything less than what she did.” Well, if the Ravens reach another championship game Curran might not be expecting five more goals. And in looking at that performance, there was probably a little more to it than the pink cleats. “She went in confident, she was at the peak of the season in her performance,” Curran said. “She kind of kept doing what she was doing. It was unbelievable.” The coach is certain that Berman will play at the next level and looks forward “to watching her make her mark.” Sophie has chosen a Division III college, but will not reveal it until it becomes official in several weeks. In the meantime, she is focused on going out a winner at RHS. “We lost some people and that will hurt but we have a ton of people that can fill in,” Berman said. “We have a really good team, a lot of success will come from the culture of our team. We don’t have freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors, we have one team. Even JV and varsity are all friends, so that really helps.” And, of course, the flamboyant footwear brings it all together.

COVID-19 pandemic over the past 19 months has taken yet another unwelcomed turn with the highly contagious Delta variant contributing to another wave of infections, including a noticeable spike in cases here in Robbinsville. While “breakthrough cases” are occurring among vaccinated individuals, they were accounting for less than one half of 1 percent of cases as of August 23. Vaccines are still the only way out of this mess, and booster shots are here for the moderately to severely immunocompromised and soon to be available for anyone approximately eight months removed from their second shot of Moderna or Pfizer. As of this writing, guidance regarding boosters for those injected with the single dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine had yet to be released. The West Windsor Health Department is offering appointments for third doses of Pfizer and Moderna vaccine to those who are moderately to severely immunocompromised. Those in the following categories qualify for an additional dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine: * Been receiving active cancer treatment for tumors or cancers of the blood; * Received an organ transplant and are taking medicine to suppress the immune system; * Received a stem cell transplant within the last 2 years or are taking medicine to suppress the immune system; * Moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency (i.e., DiGeorge syndrome, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome); * Advanced or untreated HIV infection; and * Active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids or other drugs that may suppress your immune response. Appointments are being scheduled Dave Fried is the mayor of Robbinsville by email at vaccine@westwindsortwp. Township.
