The Father Center helps area dads be all that they can be By SUe FerrArA In 2008, Karen Andrade-Mims, then a longtime board member for New Jersey’s oldest nonprofit, was asked to take the helm of the organization. She imagined she had been chosen as the next leader to steer the organization into the future. Instead, she was told by board members that they wanted her to manage an orderly shut down of programs, and ultimately, to dissolve the nonprofit. The organization was called the Union Industrial Home for Destitute Children of New Jersey, and had been in existence since 1859–so by 2008, the organization was almost 150 years old. Andrade-Mims wasn’t ready to let the organization fade away, especially under her leadership. Instead, with some guidance and thought, she led the transformation of the nonprofit by re-focusing its mission on helping fathers—and by extension, their children—to live better lives. And thus, after a rebranding, Trenton is now home to The Father Center. The Father Center currently runs two programs: Operation Fatherhood, which started in 1993; and WorkFirst NJ, a

program The Father Center manages on behalf of Mercer and Burlington counties. The men who land on the doorstep of The Father Center come for one of two reasons, and enter one of those two programs. Operation Fatherhood helps men who are behind in child support payments. Men entering the WorkFirst NJ program receive financial assistance from the state, funding which only lasts five years, so WorkFirst NJ helps them reach financial independence. In both cases, the men need to ultimately find employment. What path they take to reaching that goal depends on the person. Some participants want to earn a high school diploma, AndradeMims said, and The Father Center can help them achieve that goal through a program at Mercer County Community College. Others want to go directly to work, but need skills. Those men can participate in a program called Bridges to Success which is a short-term credentialing program. The Father Center addresses needs with virtual programs which participants access through the center’s computer lab. But two programs–one to train forklift See FATHERS, Page 8

Linda and Steven Fonseca outside Turtle Beans Coffee Roaster on Farnsworth Avenue in Bordentown.

Turtle Beans invites Bordentown to slow down and smell the coﬀee By JOe EMANsKi Growing up in Costa Rica, Steven Fonseca was surrounded by coffee. His mother, Ada, used to pick coffee beans with Steven and his sister, Samy, by her side. It was the family’s main source of income. Later, Steven worked for the largest coffee company in the Central American country, which is known the world over for its

high quality coffee beans. As a missionary for his church, he moved to Seattle, a city known for its love affair with coffee. There he became a pastor and met his wife, Linda, and together they became habitues of Seattle’s many coffeehouses. Ada, meanwhile, had settled in New Jersey. A few years ago, after Ada became sick, Steven and Linda and their golden doodles, Nala

and Gordo, moved across the country to help her. They settled in Hamilton, and Steven became a pastor at a church in Princeton. But he grew dissatisfied with the direction the church was going and his inability to make it a more welcoming place for all. So he quit his job and together with Linda founded Turtle Beans Coffee Roaster, first in his home and See COFFEE, Page 5

COFFEE continued from Page 1 now with a storefront in Bordentown. Turtle Beans imports and roasts its own specialty coffee beans. Fonseca selects varieties from his favorite coffeeproducing countries around the world, including Kenya, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Mexico, and of course, Costa Rica. He began roasting the beans in small batches in his home in Hamilton, which he then sold via the internet. After the online business began to take off, he and Linda decided to look for a place to open a coffeehouse. They chose the location at 225 Farnsworth Avenue and had their soft opening last month. Now customers can stop in to purchase whole or ground beans, get cups of house-roasted coffee to go, or hang out at Turtle Beans’ “slow bar” to have a fresh cup made in front of them by one of several pour-over methods that the Fonsecas feel deliver a satisfying coffee experience — be that by Chemex, siphon, Origami dripper or cold brew methods. “We call it the slow bar because it takes time to make it, but when you make it in front of the people in a unique way, it just makes it feel very special for the person,”

Fonseca says. “From the way you smell it, to the way that you drink it in your cup, to the way it looks and obviously the way that it tastes, coffee should be a full sensorial experience.” Turtle Beans will also sell a variety of teas, chais, and pastries sourced from local bakeries. Fonseca’s sister, Samy, who also now lives in the area, is part of the Turtle Beans team. As Fonseca learned earlier in life than most, good coffee starts with good beans. Turtle Beans goes by the Specialty Coffee Association of America’s grading system in selecting its coffee varieties. Coffees are only considered specialty coffee if they are rated 82 on a 0-100 scale. The Fonsecas tend to like light to medium roasted coffees that have tropical, fruity notes, and they will look to focus on coffees in that style at their shop. “Every coffee should taste different. Coffee is like teas, like wines. But what happened with coffee in this area is, people are used to an overroasted coffee flavor,” Fonseca says. He says some coffee roasters overroast their beans to cover up the defects in See COFFEE, Page 6

your chance.” Although the Farm Fair will be held for five days beginning on July 19 through July 23 at the Burlington County Fairgrounds at the corner of Jacksonville-Jobstown Road and Route 206 in Springfield, Schwartz will perform the ceremonies

free of charge on July 20. Weddings will be held in the Dining Pavilion, which will decorated with barn quilts for the occasion, and will feature the iconic fair and Fairgrounds horse pavilion as backdrops. A stone water fountain is also located near the entrance and can add to the atmosphere. Couples interested in the opportunity should contact the Clerk’s Office at (609) 265-5189 to book a time on July 20. There is no fee for the service, but couples must obtain a marriage license from the municipality where either the bride or groom resides or from Springfield Township if both the bride and groom reside outside New Jersey. Springfield is the town where the Burlington County Fairgrounds are located. The 66-acre site was previously part of a sod farm, purchased by the county in 2005. “Farm Fair celebrates our county’s deep and enduring ties to farming and agriculture. It’s grown to become synonymous with summer fun,” said Schwartz, who has performed 568 marriages since taking office as County Clerk in 2019. “Multiple generations have attended the fair annually and it has become a favorite event for thousands of people from across the region. Holding weddings there will hopefully create a new tradition. For couples interested in tying the knot this summer, you won’t find a more memorable location or iconic backdrop for your special day.”

COFFEE continued from Page 5 their beans. “When we select our coffees, we want people to be able to taste their nutty or chocolatey notes, to taste coffees that are very fruity or very herbal. When you roast them the right way, people are able experience the natural flavors that coffees should taste like.” Turtle Beans will offer many of the drinks that coffee lovers have come to expect from a coffeehouse, like lattes and espressos and Americanos. They will have chai, matcha, and a variety of teas on the menu as well. They will also offer some other, trendier preparations, like an espresso mojito — a combination of tonic water, espresso and mojito mix that Fonseca says he and Linda have come to enjoy. Fonseca says a lot of what he’s been doing since starting the online portion of the business is educating customers on best practices for making good coffee. For instance, while Turtle Beans sells coffee beans both ground and unground, he has a clear preference and a reason for that preference. “We always recommend you get the whole bean,” he says. “The coffee stays fresh for a longer time.” The store remains in soft-launch mode for now. Soon, Fonseca hopes to be able to offer workshops helping coffee drinkers understand how to make better coffee at home. “Different pour-over methods, most of them are inexpensive but great ways to make coffee at home,” he says. “There are these little details you can adjust to make fantastic coffees.” Fonseca quit his job as a pastor eight months ago, citing burnout, anxiety and depression as reasons for the career change. “One of the things that burned me out was, I always wanted to make the church a place where everybody felt welcome. It didn’t matter their color or their status or their sexual orientation,” he says. “All those years, I tried to change the church, make the church safe place for everybody. I burned out because I was spending a lot of energy to change something that was not going to change.” With the coffee shop, he hopes to be able to do what he could not accomplish as a pastor. “It’s always been my dream, and my wife’s dream, to have a coffee shop, especially a place where people can sit down and relax, a place where you can read a book and have a cup of coffee,” he says. “Coffee doesn’t judge. Coffee loves everybody. By creating this space, my wife and I were able say, ‘It doesn’t matter who you are. If you come here, we are going to take care of you.’” Fonseca chose the name Turtle Beans to further embody the notion of taking ones’ time to enjoy their brew.

The interior of Turtle Beans Coffee Roaster. Steven Fonseca says he wants Turtle Beans to be a welcoming place for all people. “I wanted to share the idea of the importance of slowing down and making coffee a ritual of self care and self love with the people you love,” he says. “Coffee takes time to prepare, it takes a lot of process to import and produce good coffee. When you prepare it at home, it takes time too, and that’s OK. A lot of what I was experiencing was, I was always thinking what’s next, always working, and I was not present. I was not living in the moment, not enjoying the today. That’s why our slogan is, ‘Slow down and sip the journey with a cup of coffee.’” Turtle Beans still has its online coffee shop as well. Available there are specialty coffee beans from around the world as well as coffee subscription boxes, mugs and other merchandise. Fonseca also offers specialty coffee tasting sessions and can also be hired for special events. The Turtle Beans moniker has additional significance in that the Fonsecas are lovers of turtles. They note that of the 300 species of turtle and tortoise in the world today, some 129 are vulnerable or endangered, according to the International Union of Conservation of Nature. Besides naming some of the company’s online subscription packages for turtle species, Steven and Linda say that through the shop, they hope to help in the effort to save endangered and vulnerable turtles.

FATHERS continued from Page 1 drivers (NJ Forklift) and CDL license training happen off site. The Father Center has an interesting history. In 1859, 18 Presbyterian women came together to create an organization that would serve the needs of children whose parents could no longer take care of them, or children whose parents had died. According to a 2012 news story, those women “representing a union of area churches came together to provide educational, vocational and moral formation opportunities for young people struggling to make their way in an increasingly industrial world.” And so they created the Union Industrial Home. A year later, the state legislature made the venture a state corporation, giving it the formal name: Union Industrial Home for Destitute Children of Trenton, New Jersey. The home was run by the 18 women, along with volunteers. But the legislature gave formal oversight to a “Board of Counselors consisting of six male members.” That first board included Trenton stalwarts John A. Roebling, the German-American engineer who designed and built the Brooklyn Bridge; Stacy Potts, a journalist who became a lawyer, an assemblyman and ultimately,

a state Supreme Court justice; and James T. Sherman, who became the clerk of the Mercer County courts. Children either resided in the home run by the women, or, if a child was orphaned, that child would be placed in a private home. None of the children remained at the Union Industrial Home (UIH) after the age of 12. Each year, the women hosted fundraising dinners where the children provided entertainment. Additionally, UIH relied on donations from the community. One of the more remarkable donations came from Charles G. Roebling, John A. Roebling’s son. On April 14, 1912, the Titanic sank in the North Atlantic ocean. On board was 31-year-old Washington A. Roebling II, the son of Charles Roebling. The younger Roebling died after making sure others got into lifeboats. His father, Charles, made a $20,000 donation to the Union Industrial Home in memory of his son, a gift which would be about $500,000 today. For years, the home ran as envisioned—a place for children who had no homes or family. But as the city of Trenton changed, so did the offerings at UIH. The home closed down in the 1960s, and later became a refuge for teen mothers and their babies. That program lasted until 2010. It was that program which captured the interest of Andrade-

Karen Andrade-Mims is the chief executive officer of the Father Center. Mims who, when she joined the board, was working for Planned Parenthood. But other services offered by the Union Industrial Home focused on men, more specifically fathers. And that focus received a boost in the early 1990s, when President Bill Clinton’s administration encouraged governors to reform the nation’s welfare programs. In 1992, then New Jersey Gov. James

Florio signed legislation that created the Family Development Program. The program was designed “to break the cycle of poverty, by encouraging family stability while instilling a sense of individual responsibility and dignity to all participants.” Operation Fatherhood was an outgrowth of FDP, a program designed to help men who owed child support. Operation Fatherhood was overseen by the Union Industrial Home. A second pilot program, titled Parents Fair Share, was a federal program designed to get people off the welfare rolls, and UIH ran that pilot program too. By 2008, using the home for teen mothers and their children began to drain the nonprofit’s bottom line and only three young women and their off-spring lived in the home. Andrade-Mims estimated the organization was losing about $200,000 a year. But during that time, Operation Fatherhood continued. In an effort to save what by then was called UIH Family Partners, Andrade-Mims traveled to Washington to speak with a staff member at the Child Welfare League of America about the organization’s future. That staff member reminded Andrade-Mims that the Union Industrial Home had built a very successful program for fathers. That aha moment led to a new and focused mission for the organization all revolving

Take a walk on the wild side BY REBEKAH SCHROEDER As July’s celebrations of freedom and fireworks signal the height of summer is here, there are other casual, easygoing options with just as many breathtaking sights to behold, but more nature than the average barbecue. Take a stroll, hike or bike at these sites for a fresh breath of air — and ample opportunities to socialize under the sun.

2022 Full Moon Bike Ride

Lawrence Hopewell Trail, Mercer Meadows - Rosedale Lake, Hopewell. Saturday, July 9, 8 to 10:30 p.m. $15 for single riders ages 12 to 17; $20 for single riders ages 18+; group rates available. Park and meet at the lot by the Mercer Meadows Dog Park and Rosedale Lake area Mercer Meadows is expansive, home to 1,600 acres and three county properties — the Pole Farm, Rosedale Lake, and Curlis Lake Woods — with a wealth of wildlife, woods, and gentle winds weaving through the area. The trails are home to history as well, especially in the case of the Pole Farm, a site formerly owned by AT&T.

We specialize in small masonry repair MASONRY RENOVATION AND REPAIR

The Lawrence Hopewell Trail traverses two townships and covers more than 20 miles. While pedestrians and cyclists are free to navigate the area during the day, the latter can show up for an event of the celestial kind on Saturday, July 9, for a nighttime, six-mile route guided by the glow of the full moon. The 2022 Full Moon Bike Ride takes advantage of this natural illumination, creating what organizers describe on their website as an “out of this world experience” for riders. When the moon rises around 8:30 p.m., those 12 and older will embark on a brightly decorated route that takes about 45 minutes, all while classical musicians provide accompaniment along the route. Registration is required for all attendees regardless of participation in the ride itself. Onsite registration is available, but LHT recommends signing up in advance online via Eventbrite at eventbrite.com/e/ lawrence-hopewell-trail-full-moon-bike-rideregistration-367474635527. Group rates vary by age and the number of people registered, with prices available on the event page at lhtrail.org/annual-fullmoonride. To register a group, email LHT

Lawrence Hopewell Trail’s Full Moon Bike Ride takes place Saturday, July 9.

First Saturday Wellness Walk

Mercer Meadows - Reed Bryan Lot, Hopewell Township. Friday, July 1, 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. Free As simple as can be, this exploration of another part of Mercer Meadows is a nofrills, no-theme hike that starts at the lot outside the Reed Bryan Farm. A trained naturalist will lead this journey without any set sights or stops, but all spontaneity, as the morning progresses. According to the Mercer County Park Commission, “brief pauses” may be taken to admire the views, wildlife, and environment. Water bottles and durable footwear are suggested.

Space for this easygoing event is limited, with registration available online at mercercountyparks.org/#!/calendar/ just-hike-july2022.

Just a Hike

Watson Woods - Abbott Bluff Trail, John A. Roebling Memorial Park, Hamilton. Saturday, July 2, 10 a.m. to noon. Free. Park and meet at the Tulpehaking Nature Center 157 Westcott Avenue, Hamilton. The Abbott Marshlands are named after Trenton-born archaeologist and naturalist Charles Conrad Abbott, who documented his experiences living near the marshlands and discovering artifacts. Designated as a National Historic Landmark, the more than 3,000 acres of wetlands and bluffs run “adjacent to the Delaware River between Trenton and Bordentown,” according to their website.

YEARS

at info@lhtrail.org. Children under 12 are not permitted to participate in the ride for safety reasons, but are allowed to attend “accompanied and supervised by an adult.” Non-riders do not have to pay a fee, but donations are requested, as the nonprofit that creates, manages and maintains the trail, the Lawrence Hopewell Trail Corporation, is organizing the event. All guests must still sign a waiver. LHT requests that all riders wear helmets and have working front lights on their bikes. Decorating the bikes with extras, such as the free glowsticks provided, is highly encouraged. Prizes will be awarded to winners in youth and adult categories for their creativity. There will be restrooms available, as well as “a few vendors selling snacks and drinks,” but LHT advocates for bringing along snacks and/or having a moonlit picnic dinner beforehand. No alcohol is permitted, there are no current COVID-19 protocols in place, and the rain date is the following day on Sunday, July 10. Additionally, LHT’s Saturday Morning Walking Club typically hosts a free monthly event exploring the area. However, because of the Full Moon Bike Ride in July, the Saturday Morning Walks will resume on August 13. The location of the August event is, as of press time, to be determined.

NATURE, continued from Page 3 The site is the ancestral homeland of the Lenape, and their presence, as well as Abbott’s similar embrace of nature, are both recognized for their importance. Named “Land of the Turtle” to honor the animal’s symbolic relationship with the native Lenape, the Tulpehaking Nature Center facility offers a host of educational opportunities for visitors. It’s also a fitting place to start walking from to engage in the different activities that the Abbott Marshlands has scheduled for July. On the first Saturday of every month, the Friends for the Abbott Marshlands, the nonprofit that uplifts the area through programming and protective measures, hosts wellness walks on different trails. This month’s walk, co-sponsored by the RWJ Fitness and Wellness Center, invites attendees able to bask in an “early summer walk” among others. The group will go on the Abbott Bluff Trail through Watson Woods, a path that requires a climb to the top of the bluff, then a descent to a depression in the ground where Abbott’s home was destroyed in a 1914 fire, according to the Marshlands’ website. Registration is required and available online, along with more information, via Eventbrite at eventbrite.com/e/first-sat-

urday-wellness-walk-watson-woods-abbottbluff-trail-tickets-322897072837. There are also the “Wednesday Watson Woods Walks,” which recur each week on the following dates: July 6, July 13, July 20, and July 27. Another free opportunity to walk among friends and nature, these group events run from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Abbott Marshlands invites attendees to “observe the seasons change while exploring the beautiful trails” of the John A. Roebling Memorial Park.

Nature Therapy Walk: A Shinrin-yoku Experience with Sharon Lohse Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve, 1635 River Road, New Hope, Pennsylvania. Friday, July 8, 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. $35 admission ($28 with member discount). Stewardship is a core mission of Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve, where habitats like meadows, woods, and ponds have been flourishing since the 1930s. BHWP claims to be “the nation’s one-andonly living museum specifically devoted to native plants,” making for a tranquil trip to see what’s in bloom this July —butterfly weed, false sunflowers and sweet pepperbush, to name a few — surrounded by a 100-acre deer exclosure to keep the species

intact. Since retiring from her position as a psychiatric nurse, Sharon Lohse has continued to develop unique specializations that unify her lifelong passion for nature and the endless desire to help others. With certifications in forest and horticultural therapy, she is a garden trail guide whose background, as well as later pursuits of science at Delaware Valley University, influenced the core elements of this upcoming BHWP event. According to a 2019 National Geographic article, Shinrin-yoku is a Japanese term that translates to “forest bathing,” a form of ecotherapy focused on atmospheric immersion and its corresponding health benefits. This idea of mediating outdoors has inspired Lohse’s nature therapy walk, as the BHWP page continues, where attendees “will explore the land of the preserve and awaken [their] senses to its sounds, beings, textures and beauty.” These gentle strides, at a considerably slower rate, are meant to truly absorb the perks of reflection, whether against a sunlit pond or looking inwards. The “emphasis is on unplugging,” BHWP says, to eliminate stress and increase prosperity. Registration is required before July 6 online at the BHWP website, bhwp.org/ item/nature-therapy-walk-a-shinrin-yokuexperience-july/#tab-wccpf_fields_tab.

TravelStorys Mobile Tours

Available from the D&R Greenway Land Trust for Cedar Ridge Preserve, Healing Trails, Abbott Marshlands, and St. Michaels Farm Preserve. Since their inception in 1989, D&R Greenway Land Trust has preserved more than 20,000 acres of land in New Jersey. This has allowed nature, conservation efforts, and green open spaces to flourish — despite time and time again being named the most densely populated state in the entire country. While D&R has no events planned at the moment, anyone can go alone or with company on their TravelStorys mobile tours, which use a free application and GPS to access audio guides. There are four D&R sites currently adopting the TravelStorys platform as a location-based podcast to share local stories and history lessons. Listeners can appreciate the paths at their own pace, enjoying time on protected properties by following along to the prerecorded voices. After downloading the guide, the application functions “more like a compass” and works offline, meaning that the insight travels with the user as it recognizes each location in the tour. Cedar Ridge Preserve’s “Women in Conservation” tour is an acknowledgement of 16 women whose contributions in areas such as science and environmental protec-

tion have shaped the world. The idea to feature these females came from a young girl herself, Princeton resident Madeleine Freundlich, as part of a Girl Scout project. International figures like climate change activist Greta Thunburg are included, as well as local leaders including Beverly Mills and Elaine Buck, the founders of the Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum who worked to preserve not only the physical area, but the personal accounts and cultural significance of Black history in the Sourlands. The Healing Trails are a tour through Princeton’s Greenway Meadows, divided by three colors of varying accessibilities and difficulties, that are meant to help with personal health. Being surrounded by nature physically and emotionally benefits people of all ages, soothing ailments, issues, as well as a myriad of conditions that were dealt with right on that same trail. D&R’s website says that the tour, inspired by the Healing Trails art exhibition in their Johnson Education Center venue, revolves around the “stories of people healing from surgery, illness or trauma by walking on [their] preserved lands.” Trails marked as green are handicap accessible and paved, yellow are “relatively flat” and unpaved, while red trails are “more challenging” and uphill. D&R hopes that those soaking up the restorative qual-

ity of lush greens and a warm sun will “find peace and perspective” as they progress. The Healing Trails were created in memory of Edie Howard. St. Michaels Farm Preserve’s mobile tour is through an abundance of open space at the edge of Hopewell Borough, where an old orphanage and farm stood before the land was purchased for preservation in 2010. The trail invites young audiences to learn about nature, the website continues, through exploration and expression. By giving them the tools to find a “home in nature,” the audio informs children about how outdoor experiences can create special connections to the world. The trail is a tribute to this, and now encompasses a memorial area called “Jackson’s Place,” established on Earth Day last year to remember Jackson McGrath Place, a young man whose ve for the environment will positively inspire visitors for years to come. More information about all the tours is online at drgreenway.org/travelstorys. This July, let nature help pack on the psychological and physiological sunscreen in between layers of actual skin protection, because while beautiful beaches have an impact on wellbeing, trails and parks provide wonderful, oft-forgotten boosts of their own.

Blend Bar & Bistro’s Central Jersey Beer Fest Returns Blend Bar and Bistro opened its doors in Hamilton in October of 2012 and created an anniversary event that has grown into a tasting extravaganza, the Central Jersey Beer Fest. 2022 marks Blend’s 10-year anniversary, and Blend will be hosting smaller events at their restaurant location practically weekly all summer leading up to Saturday, October 8, Central Jersey Beer Fest at Mercer County Park Festival Grounds in West Windsor. Antonio Carannante, festival coordinator and co-owner of Blend Bar and Bistro in Hamilton, is justifiably pumped. In the past #CJBeerFest featured a tasting of more than 150 craft beers, some wines, even a few spirits, up to 10 food trucks, live bands, and a variety of other vendors, including axe throwing. The festival has attracted an average of 3,000+ festival lovers. Folks come for all over the Mercer County area, but even groups of family and friends from Philadelphia, Rhode Island, Connecticut, the Carolinas, California, New York, and more have made the trip to the Central Jersey Beer Fest. “As with past events, we will have a strong focus on education and safety all throughout the festival grounds. Our motto is ‘Drink Responsibly and have Fun.’” Carannante notes that you must be 21+ to enter. “We always recommend inviting a designated driver, getting a ride, and using

ride share options.” Tip: schedule a ride a head of time. The event will provide patrons with an unparalleled chance to sample craft beers from a wide variety of brewers. Even if you “think” you don’t like beer, it’s great chance to have a small sampling of so many new styles with different flavor profiles including some cocktails in a can, ciders, and seltzers. The beer tasting is allowed for four solid hours during the festival, but there is so much more to the event, including creative food vendors, great live music, and backyard

vertigo, headaches, and pelvic floor dysfunction. “Stand-alone treatments such as chiropractic tend to mainly focus on manipulation and maybe some modalities for pain relief, which often times tends to be temporary. At Paragon, we combine it with soft tissue therapies, eastern and western acupuncture techniques, and targeted exercises such as mobility, stabilization and repositioning drills with physical & occupational therapy. This addresses the source of why a particular region was overstressed and eventually injured. Ultimately with this combination of different treatments we can treat the problem without it developing into a chronic condition,” explains Harrison Ranallo, chiropractor and director of rehabilitation. “The benefit with integrated care also extends to better communication and brainstorming with its providers on unified treatment plans,” explains physical therapist Jim Tholany. “Here

the patient’s goal is the ultimate target destination, and it’s our job to devise a treatment plan and path to get them there. We want patients to know they have conservative and effective treatments offering lasting relief that likely do not have to involve masking

the problem with prescription and over-the-counter medications, steroid injections, and even surgery some times.” For more information and to learn please visit paragonssw.com or call 609-686-2050. See ad, page 12.

meet the Hamilton township division of Health! A Trusted Resource for Improved Health & Well Being The mission of the Division of Health is to serve as a trusted resource for Hamilton Township to improve the health and wellbeing of our residents through health education and promotion, enforcement of public health safety, and adapting to ever-changing community health needs. Some of our services include public immunization clinics, child health clinics, STI testing, vital statistics (marriage certificates and licenses, birth certificates, and death certificates), retail food establishment inspections, and other environmental health services! Our Animal Shelter is also part of the Division of Health and provides animal control services, pet adoptions, and dog licensing. Hamilton residents please call 609890-3828 or visit our website at

www.hamiltonnj.com/health for more information. Many of our services are by appointment. Here are some quick safety tips to help you have a safe and healthy summer: • Check for ticks! Ticks are the most active in the warmer months (April-September). Infected ticks can transmit diseases including Lyme disease. Prevent tick bites by wearing insect repellent, check yourself, kids and pets for ticks, remove ticks quickly, and seek medical help if you develop symptoms of Lyme disease (including fever, headache, fatigue and rash). • Beat the heat this summer! Extreme heat can lead to heat related illness. People ages 65+, children under two, and people with chronic diseases and mental illness are at highest risk. Remember to keep your cool! Stay in air conditioning as much as possible, stay hydrated, check on neighbors or family who are high risk, wear loose and lightweight clothing, and NEVER leave children or pets in cars. • Sun Safety! Most skin cancers are caused by too much exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. Protect

yourself and others from the sun when outdoors by seeking shade, and wearing sunglasses, hats, and clothing to protect you from the sun. Don’t forget your sunscreen! Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF of 15 or higher, reapply often, and check those expiration dates! • Eat your fruits and veggies! Healthy eating can help adults and children live a healthy life and reduce the risks of chronic disease. Summer is a great time for fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables including strawberries, watermelon, zucchini,

and fresh Jersey tomatoes! • Water safety! Swimming is a fun summer activity to help cool off, but should be done safely. If you go swimming this summer remember to learn to swim and know your limits, never leave children unattended, wear life jackets when doing water activities, don’t swim alone even if you are a strong swimmer, and never dive into shallow water — if you don’t know how deep it is, don’t dive! For more information on these topics and other summer safety tips visit www.cdc.gov. See ad, page 10.

Hamilton Dental Associates The Importance of Orthodontic Care for Your Children Growing up makes for a constantly evolving experience for children. Every year they change and grow into the person they are destined to become, and that extends to their oral health. From the first baby tooth to their adult teeth coming in later in their lives, managing your child’s dental health presents unique challenges for parents. With those challenges come a few myths involving childhood tooth development that can impact how you treat your child’s dental health. Combating Childhood Oral Health Myths. When you start looking for a pediatric dentist in Hamilton, you want to find one that knows how intensive taking care of your child’s teeth should be. Taking a proactive approach to their dental health can help them avoid more involved procedures down the road — one of the most common myths that lead to your child’s teeth suffering

in the long run. Common Myth #1: Childhood Teeth Will Straighten Out Over Time One such myth that leads to more complex orthodontic care down the line is that your child’s teeth will straighten out over time. Unfortunately, that is not the case. If their teeth start coming in crooked or off-center, they won’t naturally straighten themselves with time.

The space for their teeth to come in doesn’t grow as they mature. If you leave these issues unattended, it could lead to more significant problems. Common Myth #2: Orthodontic Treatments Are Purely Cosmetic While most people associate orthodontic treatments with getting braces as a teenager, that procedure does much more than merely straighten teeth to help you look better. Getting your jaw and teeth back into proper alignment has a cascading effect on your oral health. It helps improve your biting, chewing, and even speaking ability. Common Myth #3: There Is a Right Age for Orthodontic Care Many parents believes there is a specific age at which it’s appropriate to bring their children in for orthodontic care. The perceived minimum age for a child to receive orthodontic care is around 12-13 or right when they reach high school. However, getting your child such care earlier can help avoid getting braces and fixing issues before they worsen. In reality, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends

that your children should get an orthodontic checkup no later than age seven. Once they hit that age, their mouth will have a nice balance between their baby and permanent teeth. This window of time allows for an accurate orthodontic evaluation to determine where preventative care is enough or if additional action is required. Where Do Orthodontic Issues Come From? In most cases, a child’s orthodontic problems stem from their genetics — these issues are inherited from their parents. Additionally, some problems can develop over time based on poor oral hygiene habits they learned from a young age. Some of these acquired oral health issues include: • Sucking Their Thumbs • Mouth Breathing • Abnormal Swallowing Patterns • Poor Dental Hygiene • Irregular Loss of Baby Teeth • Poor Nutritional Habits However, parents have reason to hope for viable remedies and solutions to most of these issues. You can remedy these acquired problems with the help of successful orthodontic care provided by an experienced pediatric dentist. Finding a Child Orthodontic You Can Trust. Trusting your child’s teeth and their beautiful smile to a pediatric dentistry practice is something that every parent must come to grips with. Figuring out which childhood orthodontic makes the most sense for your child and their future dental visits becomes critically important. For parents and their children in Hamilton, Hamilton Dental Associates provides them with the experienced pediatric dentists they need to prioritize their oral health as they mature.

around fatherhood. Jonathan Ledlow was one of the early participants in Operation Fatherhood. On Jan. 31, 1993, Ledlow testified before the National Governors’ Association Committee on Human Resources in Washington, a committee chaired by Florio. Ledlow told those in attendance: “Operation Fatherhood has given me the incentive to be a productive and responsible human being.” It wasn’t easy. Ledlow told the governors’ committee when he arrived at Operation Fatherhood, he had no direction; he had a drug addiction. “Thanks to Operation Fatherhood,” Ledlow testified, “I am one less minority male that’s not incarcerated. I am one less minority male that is unemployed. And I am one more minority male that is taking care of all of his responsibilities. Without this program, I have absolutely no idea where I would be, or what I’d be doing right now.” Now, almost 30 years later, Ledlow has a masters degree in clinical mental health and works as a therapist for StressCare of New Jersey. We spoke by phone. Ledlow was introduced to Operation Fatherhood by his sister-in-law. Marsha Gore, who at the time was the operations manager of the program. “She saved my life,” Ledlow said. He qualified for the program because he owed child support for his daughter. “At Operation Fatherhood, I was introduced to my potential. They told me I could achieve when I was told for so long that I couldn’t do anything,” he said. Ledlow said the program also revealed another side of him as a person. “Operation Fatherhood showed me that there was a different me; one that people liked to see. It was different from the person who was drinking and smoking. It

was another person I could become–one who was formidable, who was respectful and respected,” he said. Unfortunately, Ledlow said, the one key piece he needed from Operation Fatherhood in 1993 was counseling to help him overcome years of self-doubt and bad habits. Andrade-Mims said the organization now has the ability to refer people out for counseling. Staff can also make referrals for housing and other medical concerns. The Father Center continues to grow its offerings. “About five and a half years ago, we decided to work with young boys in Trenton, looking at our mission from a prevention perspective,” Andrade-Mims said. The program is called Healthy Relationships/Healthy Choices, and serves 15 ninth grade boys at the Trenton school district’s Ninth Grade Academy. “We focus on ninth grade,” AndradeMims said, “because we know it’s a troubling time for boys.” Boys in the program go through a long selection process. Two cohorts of boys have finished the program; one young man received a full scholarship to Harvard. Another young man who told program recruiters that he really wanted to do something in computers is now attending the Rochester Institute of Technology. There is one more piece from the history of the Union Industrial Home Andrade-Mims wants to revive, and that is conferences. This November, The Father Center will hold its first statewide conference on Nov. 3. The focus, of course, is on fatherhood. While conference planning continues, Andrade-Mims was willing to share the name of one conference speaker, Wade Horn, a New Jersey native who founded the National Fatherhood Initiative.

Sports

Bobcats’ softball completes undefeated season By Rich Fisher The Bordentown Middle School softball team outscored its opponents, 136-14 this year; so it wouldn’t seem like it was rarely tested much. Wrong. The Bobcats were actually one inning away from having their undefeated season come to an end in the last game of the year. They entered the bottom of the seventh trailing Lumberton 2-0. Through its first 10 games Bordentown averaged 13.3 runs per game, and now it was being blanked. With three outs to do something about it, Avery Taylor dropped a bunt single, and Katie Kovac, Lia Flynn and Jules Morolda rapped out consecutive singles to tie the game. That brought up Kenna Fisher, who “saved her best hit of the season for last” according to coach Steve Blue. The eighth-grader smoked a walk-off double to score Morolda and give Bor-

dentown a 3-2 win and 11-0 record. It was actually the Bobcats second walk-off win of the year, as they also defeated Easthampton in eight innings earlier in the season. Lily Glatz reached on an error and one out later, Addi Maloney and her twin sister Olivia both singled to end it. The point here is, Bordentown won most of its games easily, but when the pressure was on, the Bobcats knew how to win. “They were a great group,” said Blue, whose wife Robin and daughter Alexa were standout players for South Brunswick High and Northern Burlington, respectively. “The cool part is they all supported one another. In the second game of the season I took a couple girls out and substituted a couple others. Instead of sulking, they immediately started supporting the girls I put in. It was a good group of girls. They were really neat.” The Bobbies had a nice balance age-

wise, with eight eighth-graders, six seventh-graders and a sixth-grader. All got playing time. “We had good depth from top to bottom,” Blue said. “All the girls played a big role. From top to bottom we hit, we had a couple of really good pitchers and we played solid defense. They were a smooth operating bunch out there. Three eighthgraders were kind of the leaders and they batted one-two-three in the lineup.” Leading off was 8th-grader Kovac, who hit .500, struck out just once and played almost every inning at shortstop. “She was real smooth, a real smart kid, a great fielder and fast,” Blue said. “She hit a lot and walked 11 times. She was always on base.” Eighth-grader Flynn hit .529 and struck out just twice batting second. She was the team’s No. 1 pitcher, striking out 61 in 41 innings. Her batterymate, 8th-grader Morolda, hit third and batted a whopping .688 with a team-high 22 hits. She had 10 extra base hits and was a huge run generator. It’s worth noting that individuals could have gotten many more than 22 hits except Bordentown was just too good. Six games went four innings due to the mercy rule, leaving the starters with just two at-bats in a game. Not to mention, Blue gave his reserves plenty of playing time. But no one was complaining as winning keeps everyone happy.

Seventh-grader Brianna Gallo, the team’s No. 2 hurler, batted .333 without a strikeout in the cleanup spot. “She had a lot of hard luck,” Blue said. “She would hit the ball hard right at someone and they would make the play. And she was very dependable as our number-two pitcher with 31 strikeouts in 18 innings.” Carlene Matney, an 8th-grader, hit .500 with five extra-base hits and seven walks hitting in the fifth spot. Another great contact hitter, Matney fanned just twice. Eighth-grader Kenna Fisher hit sixth and was the team’s defensive whiz in center field. “She had a super glove out there, tracked a lot of balls, made a lot of great plays,” Blue said. “She was really dependable. She didn’t hit for a high average but she was more skilled than her average indicated.” Seventh-grader Taylor hit .400 and switched off between third base and left field, flashing a strong glove at both positions. Eighth-grader Lily Glatz was another .500 hitter while playing left field and backing up Morolda at catcher. “She was super dependable,” Blue said. “She made a lot of nice plays in left field.” Addi Maloney, an eighth-grader, was “like a gold glove at second base,” according to her coach, and she also hit above .300. “She had the most balls hit to her out of anyone on the field,” Blue added.

The Bordentown Middle School softball team includes (front row) Addi Maloney, Olivia Maloney, Alyssa Crusen, (middle row) Kenna Fisher, Avery Taylor, Lily Glatz, Brianna Gallo, Katie Kovac, Cassie Bryan, (back row) Lia Flynn, Gabi Stout, Jules Morolda, Carlene Matney, Sami Brown and Alexa Kraus. Her sister Olivia had eight hits in limitedat bats and was super steady in right field. Seventh-graders Alyssa Crusen, Gabi Stout, Cassie Bryan and Alexa Kraus also chipped in. The versatile Crusen played third base, catcher and outfield and three of her seven hits were for extra bases. Bryan had seven hits and three walks while playing third base, outfield and first base. Stout also had three extra base hits despite missing time due to Covid protocols, while Kraus was the third pitcher who also played left field and third base. She had five hits and three walks, and in the circle she struck out nine in just four innings of work. The team’s lone sixth-grader was Sami

Brown, who “was real athletic, provided super coverage in the outfield and played second. She had four hits on the year and was also very good defensively.” With Bordentown High School’s talented program losing just three seniors, it could be tough to break into the lineup next year. But Blue feels his bunch will help one way or the other. “I could see some of them playing and making an immediate impact on the varsity and hopefully the ones that don’t make varsity will also make an impact,” Blue said. “Bordentown didn’t have a JV team, so hopefully with our eighth-graders, they may have enough of a turnout to bring back the JV team and keep the program going onward and upward.”

The Waugh Family: Brushes of fame Doug Kiovsky

THE BEND IN THE RIVER

The Waughs were an extremely gifted family of artists that spanned three generations. You might say that if paint were in their blood, it would be viewed in many colors and shades of the rainbow. Two generations played a significant role in establishing Bordentown as an early artist colony along with the presence of Joseph Bonaparte and his magnificent collection of art that was second to none. The patriarch of the family, Samuel Bell Waugh (1814-1885), was considered Philadelphia’s preeminent portrait painter during the mid-1800s. Born in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania, this self-taught artist completed his first painting, a portrait of his family, at the age of 13, using an old bed sheet and house paint that he confiscated from his father’s general store in town. Several more portraits followed over the years, with accolades received from judges at exhibitions. In 1836, he decided to hone his talent by traveling to Rome and Naples. Fascinated by the intoxicating scenery

and vibrant colors of the landscape, he set up residency and a studio, catering to the whims of the European elite. After spending six years refining his reputation as an accomplished artist, he felt that he was ready to conquer the American market. Settling in Philadelphia, Samuel became acquaintances with painter James Edward Freeman and sculptor Thomas Crawford who helped him launch his business as a portrait painter. On occasion, he would prominently have his work displayed at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Boston Athenaeum, and the National Academy of Design in New York. In addition, his success was elevated by his marriage to a supportive woman by the name of Sarah Lendenhall. In 1846, they were thrilled by the birth of their daughter, Ida (1846-1919). With his stellar reputation, Samuel was afforded the luxury to search for a summer home in quieter surroundings away from the distractions of the city. He chose Bordentown for its serene location and John Notman (1810-1865) as his architect. Credited with introducing the Italianate and Gothic Revival styles to this country, Notman worked from his firm in Philadelphia, designing many country homes and

“Roaring Forties,” a painting by Frederick Waugh that is on display in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. churches. This included Samuel’s Tuscan Villa home in Bordentown with the aweinspiring feature of a towering belvedere that overlooked Crosswicks Creek. It was completed around 1845, and Samuel painted Notman’s portrait as a gift for his services. That same year, Notman also finished building the Athenaeum, Philadelphia’s first Italianate structure. For the next four decades, the Waughs graciously entertained family and friends with games of croquet on the lawn of their home in Bordentown. Its style invoked wonderful memories of Italy that formed the epicenter of Samuel’s panoramic masterpieces, “Mirror of Italy” and “Italia,” which toured major US cities from 1849 until 1855. In the 1860s, U.S. Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant were among the notable dignitaries that were willing to sit for his portraits. By this time, Samuel’s wife had died, and he was remarried to Mary Eliza Young. Their son, Frederick (1861-1940), was born at their residence in Bordentown. As their only child, Frederick grew up in the shadows of the art studio, whether it was in Philadelphia or at their home in Bordentown. In 1880, he enrolled in the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts where he studied for three years under artist and sculptor, Thomas Eakins. This was also where he met his future bride, Clara Eugenie Bunn. He continued his education in Paris, France at the Academie Julian, shipping back many of his works to be exhibited in the US as well as the Paris Salon. Although he enjoyed painting the breathtaking scenery across France, in 1885 he was notified by letter that his father had suddenly died while visiting his sister in Janesville, Wisconsin. As an obligation to his family, he returned to Philadelphia to settle affairs, including the sale of the summer home in Bordentown. For the next seven years, he

painted portraits and landscapes until he married his girlfriend, Clara. His life changed not only from this experience, but also from the honeymoon, during which they traveled through England and France. It was on a visit to Sark in the British Channel islands where Frederick fell in love with its crashing waves, thus turning his attention to painting seascapes. From 1893 to 1895, they sustained a humble existence there with the birth of their first child, Gwenyth. The following year, they moved to a popular English artists’ colony known as Cornwall. As Frederick delved into his oil creations, his wife gave birth yet again to a son named Coulton (1896-1973). Shortly thereafter, the family moved near London, where Frederick supported his family for the next decade by illustrating articles for the London Graphic. He maintained his studio in Cornwall for the purpose of painting marine scenes. Two of these paintings were submitted to the Royal Academy where Frederick was a frequent exhibitor, but were ultimately rejected. Outraged, the family decided to return to America. Settling in the affluent community of Montclair, in New Jersey, Frederick set up a studio in New York City and concentrated on his seascapes. Presenting several to the Metropolitan Museum of Art after spending summers painting on the beach in Bailey Island, Maine, he was successfully recognized by the public as a marine painter. In 1909, he was elected an associate member of the National Academy of Design. Two years later, he became a full member. Success also meant moving from place to place. From 1915 to 1927, he moved to Kent, Connecticut and bought a small farmhouse with a large barn for his studio. During World War I, he was commissioned to design camouflage for U.S. Navy vessels. Through team effort, many ships were painted according to his instructions. Proudly, only one marked ship during the conflict was lost at sea. The last 13 years of Frederick’s life were spent close to the ocean in Provincetown, Massachusetts, where Coulton lived. He inherited the creative juices that made him an artist as well as a cartoonist. Although Frederick did not seek publicity in the last years of his life, he was considered famous, and even designed the architecture for the town’s Episcopal Church of St. Mary’s of the Harbor church. After his death in 1940, he was buried in a cemetery at North Truro, within sights and sounds of the sea that he came to admire. Frederick’s half-sister, Ida, was another

force of nature. Like her brother, she excelled in the art world by formally attending the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the Academie Julian in Paris. Some of her best known work, “Hagar and Ishmael,” was exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1880. It was so well-received by the public and critics alike that the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts purchased it for the intent of permanently gracing their galleries. She was gifted as an illustrator as well. At a young age, she bonded a lifelong friendship with Frederick’s childhood tutor, Amy Blanchard. A native of Baltimore, Maryland, she was a literary genius, composing rhymes for children’s books that Ida illustrated. This collaboration between them was so lucrative that it led to the publication of fictitious books for adolescent girls in mind. For a time, they lived together in a charming Italianate residence in Philadelphia until success prompted them to move to New York City in 1880. Known as the literary capital of the country, Ida slowly became reacquainted with former Bordentown resident Richard Watson Gilder, who was the editor of Century Magazine, one of the best American periodicals of its day. They shared many interests as his wife, Helena de Kay, was an established painter and he had a

strong admiration for poetry. They also conversed about their New England summer cottages as he owned one in Marion, Massachusetts and Ida and Amy owned adjacent bungalows on Bailey Island in Maine. This was their refuge from the stressful demands of the city. Ida died at her home in New York in 1919, and was buried next to her father at Woodlands Cemetery in Philadelphia. Across the tombstones lies the resting place of painter Thomas Eakins who had died three year earlier. As for Ida’s dear companion, Amy Blanchard, she died unexpectedly at her Maine bungalow in 1926, and was buried next to her younger brother in Baltimore. While the Waugh family has left us, including the removal of their palatial Bordentown estate, the essence of their creativity and talent on the world stage of art is still captivated in private homes and public galleries like the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Edwin Ulrich Museum of Art in Wichita, Kansas, and the Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington. It is from these hallowed halls and many others that they honor a family that painted powerful images of nature and man for more than a century.

at the computer? Take time to stretch before you start your day. Take advantage of opportunities to stretch during the day, too. If you prefer, going for a walk to start and end your day is a great way to get some from fresh air and maintain your health. Plan to use some of the time you would normally spend commuting for stretching and aerobic exercise. What tips do you have for working at home? In the world of work, being able to multitask can be a good skill. However, holding a child on your lap while working may not be optimal for the health of your spine. If you or your child is sitting in the same spot for long periods of time, consider changing positions to avoid cramping in any one position. It is also important to eat healthy and hydrate; when the day is over walk away from that desk and exercise. We’ll get you moving again, quickly and with less pain.
