Intro TK about PLC upcoming events.

Somewhere in my teens, I developed an unhealthy fear of the deli counter. There are so many options, so many questions! You want ham? What kind? What brand? How much? How would you like it sliced? Thin?

How thin? Like this? What else can I get for you? I just wanted to make a stupid sandwich. I’m embarrassed to admit this fear followed me late into my twenties. Yup, that’s right. For a decade, I paid extra for prepackaged meat that wasn’t really what I wanted and was more than I could finish, just so I could avoid the dreaded deli guy. I finally forced myself to face the man, and when I did, I realized the true crux of my fear. It wasn’t necessarily that I had to answer questions I didn’t know the answer to or that people were watching and waiting as I did it.

The real issue was that I thought I was supposed to know the answers. I felt like a fraud.

I was faking being an adult, and surely everyone could tell.

The trouble with growing up is that it is supposed to be this natural part of life that happens to everyone, but it doesn’t feel natural at all. It feels downright awkward. One year, you’re too young for something, and the next you’re expected to know how to do it…but you don’t. In your head, you’re pretending. A twelve-year-old acts her way through making her first purchase, hoping

the cashier can’t tell. A fifteen-year-old “pretends” to apply for a job. A sixteen-year-old fakes his way through taking the bus. A nineteen-year-old puts on a performance at her first college interview. This continues well into adulthood. The thirty-something pretends to be a dad for the first year or two of his son’s life. The sixty-year-old feigns shopping for long-term care insurance. None of us really knows what we’re doing until we’ve done it. Yet, for some reason we all pretend we do. It seems a hallmark of adulthood is getting good at faking it.

I don’t think we consciously try to be disingenuous. It’s more of a defense mechanism. When we fake it, people think we know what we’re doing, and perhaps that helps the world to run more smoothly. I’m parenting a teenager for the first time, and though I’ve taught teens for nearly twenty years, I still feel inexperienced. I don’t, however, broadcast that to my fourteen-year-old.

Somehow, I don’t think it will help my case when I’m trying to tell her she can’t stay out late. I’m also fairly clueless when buying a car, but I keep that to myself at the dealership. Faking it serves a function.

Unfortunately, this mentality also makes us feel alone growing up, like every other person in the universe knows exactly what they want at the deli counter and how to ask for it. For some, this can be paralyzing, resulting in avoidance and stunted maturity.

As parents, this is the last thing we want for our kids. We can’t do the growing up for them, but we can take some of the mystery out of it. We can normalize and de-shame the uncomfortable process of stepping out into the unknown. Occasionally, I witness parents of toddlers do this incredibly well.

While grocery shopping, a mother might say to her little one, “Okay, now we line up the food on the belt. Let’s put all the cold stuff together. Can you do that?” Not only does this keep the toddler entertained, but it takes the whole process out of obscurity. It also builds a relationship in which the parent isn’t commander, but servant leader, someone the child turns to for direction and help. For teenage children, we refer to the parental role of consultant, which is very similar except that the teens have more autonomy over their actions.

Continued from preceding page

It’s hard to visualize parents of a teenager helping their child in the way described above unless you imagine a harder task: changing the oil in the car, navigating the subway, opening the pool for the summer, applying to college. Parents can do these activities with their teenagers rather than for them.

Rather than leading in an obvious way, they can work alongside their child, providing guidance casually and as requested. It’s also very important to get the tone right. Talking to a teen like a child will likely result in resentment or regression, but when parents speak respectfully to their teenage children, as they would with an adult whom they are teaching something new, teens will step up and grow up.

Young people are also more likely to participate in new activities if they know the work will further their independence.

My younger daughter and I take a lot of walks and sometimes cross a busy intersection. Together we look for cars making turns despite the walking pedestrian symbol. She has good incentive to take on this responsibility because she knows that in a couple of years she’ll be able to cross to the other side on her own—where Starbucks awaits. On

the contrary, I had no real incentive to order from the deli guy because I could just as easily buy the prepackaged meat ten feet away. It wasn’t until I had already matured that I realized this was holding me back by cementing a “can’t do” mentality that bled into other areas of my life. The opposite can be true as well. As parents we don’t have to walk through every threshold with our kids to make an impact. Just doing it when and where we can makes a huge difference because their confidence in approaching the strange and unknown will carry over into a variety of undertakings.

A second way that parents can cut the shame out of growing up is to grow up ourselves in front of our kids. We’re all still growing; there are plenty of things that we haven’t learned yet how to do. As adults, we’re just more comfortable being uncomfortable as we learn them.

This is what our older children especially need to see—our discomfort with the unknown and our comfort approaching the discomfort. Though we may fake it with other adults to save face, our kids could benefit if we took down the veil while around them. It will help them to see that inexperience is normal and simply requires a little courage and trial and error to move past. They may even be able to help in some instances, which would be

an incredible morale boost. Imagine an eleven-year-old helping her mother who is struggling to piece together some primitive Ikea furniture (since Ikea directions are in hieroglyphics not actual words) and how rewarding it would be for the daughter to show mom where she went wrong (true story). The best way to negate shame is to teach humility—by example.

Adulting, by its very nature, feels ill-fitting, but we can make it more approachable for kids simply by doing some of it with them, not for them, and by being real fallible adults, not super-adults, in front of them.

Headline

FARM TO FORK D

ig into someone deep enough and you’ll find a farm under the surface.

I came to that realization after a chance statement from my wife.

As I frequently do, I was thinking aloud about the importance of farming and food distribution and said, “Since you’re from a farm family, you know all of this.”

I was referring to her early days on a farm in Dutch Neck (see the story by her sister on page).

“So are you,” she replied.

I didn’t understand and said I was a city-born kid who grew up in small town.

“In Ireland?” she replied, focusing me on the farm my grandfather and his parents had worked, where my mother had lived briefly when she was girl, where Liz and I visited, and where my son and I stayed last summer.

I then began musing about the other farms that were part of our combined history and how farming roots run deeper in our nation than we realize on daily level.

I also started to consider that that may be part of the enthusiasm for locally sourced and organic foods

by Dan Aubrey– a type of longing to connect with our pasts.

But no matter what I thought, there was a reality that the recent COVID-19 related problems had threatened our nation’s food production and distribution.

And that has turned longing into an awareness that our current farming practices – mainly a reliance on mega farming – have shallow roots.

But thanks to some reports and regional practices, it seems that people in the Garden State have been digging into themselves and coming up with some fruitful solutions to the future of farming.

Take for example, the recent article that appeared on the online magazine The Conversation, “New Jersey’s Small, Networked Dairy Farms are a Model for a More Resilient Food System.”

Written by Princeton University’s Andrew Carlson, a postdoctoral research associate; Daniel Rubenstein, professor of zoology and director of the program in environmental studies; and Simon Levin, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, the report was in-

JULY 29, 2020

spired by “the economic shutdowns that have severely disrupted supply chains that move food from farm to fork.”

At the start of their “compelling case study” focusing on dairy farms, the writers say, “Before the pandemic, the U.S. dairy industry was already struggling with low milk prices, rising debt, the U.S.China trade war, widespread depression and stress among farmers and limited rural access to mental health services. More farmers are calling it quits and, in uncommon but growing cases, committing suicide.

“As scientists specializing in ecology and the environment, we’re studying how milk — an essential yet suffering industry — has been affected by COVID-19. We have documented one solution to the milk distribution crisis: innovative small farmers of New Jersey, who are surviving these hard times by working in cooperatives and selling directly to customers.”

The report says “changes in the milk distribution networks that connect farmers, processors, retailers and consumers can be hard to see during a socially distanced trip to the grocery store. But they exist and are getting worse.

“Dairy producers are dumping thousands of gallons of milk every day. In Wisconsin, 50 percent of the state’s dairy products have nowhere to go while typical buyers such as schools and restaurants remain shut down and unable to purchase milk and cheese.”

And in nearby Pennsylvania, “where schools buy up to 40 percent of dairy sales by volume, the pandemic has beleaguered an already-stressed industry that lost 470 farms in 2019. Some large dairies have started donating milk directly to food banks rather than dumping it, but it has taken months for this to happen with the help of nonprofit intermediaries. Such arrangements are patches, not systemic fixes for gaps in a brittle supply chain.”

However, “Here in New Jersey, farms are the fourth-smallest in the

United States, averaging 76 acres.

The Garden State’s dairy sector is particularly small, comprising only 50 farms and ranking 44th of 50 states in total milk production. But despite their small operations, we see New Jersey’s local entrepreneurial farmers as models of a game-changing strategy.

“Rather than selling their milk to large dairy processing companies, these vertically structured local farms raise cows, process milk and other foods, and sell them directly to consumers at farm-operated markets and restaurants. Unsold items return to farms as feed or fertilizer.

“This system is highly efficient, even during the current pandemic, because farmers and their customers represent the entire supply chain. Customer demand for local-

ly produced food is surging throughout New Jersey and the United States.

The writers attribute the success to the farmers banding together in cooperatives and “sharing resources for the benefit of all. Farmers with dairies and slaughterhouses bottle milk and process animals from other local producers. Those that own markets, cafes, and restaurants act as hubs stocking and selling milk, meat and produce from neighboring farms, generating profits for all parties.”

The take away, they say, is “New Jersey’s local farms are able to bounce back from disturbances like a pandemic because they add a collaborative, ‘horizontal’ element to vertically structured farms. As networks of farmers and consum-

“We see Garden State farms’ current success as evidence that resilient food systems make agriculture smaller, not larger. As food networks rewire in the wake of COVID-19, we believe one priority should be fostering food systems that are flexible and diverse, like New Jersey’s farmer-consumer networks.”

The article suggests another productive New Jersey farmer-consumer arrangement, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), something that the national farm group LocalHarvest says is “reporting record increases in subscriptions.”

CSAs involved farms selling public shares — a subscription or membership — where shareholders receive seasonal produce for a specific amount of time.

The arrangement helps farmers to schedule and see a reliable income. Shareholders get fresh food, are exposed to different products, build relationships with farmers and farms, and become more aware of how seasons and weather affect produce.

Both the Conservation article and the LocalHarvest website had links to several regional examples that I visited in order to see for myself and make recommendation for readers who are interested in connecting with local farms.

The first stop is Cherry Grove Farm on Route 206 near Carter Road in Lawrenceville, New Jersey.

The 480 acre farm belongs to the

Hamill brothers — Oliver, Bill and Sam. Although they inherited it in 1987, their ancestors have farmed nearby land in Lawrence and Princeton since before the Revolutionary War. This particular parcel has been in the family since 1902 and was farmed for row crops. A traditional dairy was later introduced and leased to others.

According to a short history of the farm, after the Hamill brothers took ownership they realized that the land suffered from “intensive conventional farming techniques,” and decided to change course and use traditional interconnected and sustainable farming techniques.

They selected cheese as their focus and have become one of the only local cheese producers.

In a written statement, they say the make cheese small batches and age it on the farm. “Each piece reflects the distinct flavors, aromas and seasonal variations of our unique terroir. Developed from classic European recipes, our cheeses are American originals.”

Their Havilah cheese recently received a 2020 Good Foods Award.

Additionally, as part of their sustainable “ecosystem,” the farm team also raises “a small number of heritage breed pigs, chickens and beef cattle, producing grass- and whey-fed meats, raised without hormones, antibiotics or steroids.”

Both cheese and meat are available for purchase on the farm and at different locations.

To visit the farm’s grounds, dairy, livestock stables, picnic areas, and farm shop, look for the big cheese figure on Route 206 and follow the gravel drive for about a quarter of mile.

In addition to their home grown products, the air-conditioned shop also supports area producers of honey, wine, and other meat products, such as Griggs Town Pies.

During my recent visits I tried a few of their chesses and found their Buttercup brie one of the most pleasant I have ever had.

West Windsor Farmers Market tktk

W

hat began as a grassroots effort by two community members to gather a few central New Jersey farms in 2004 has grown to become an integral part of hundreds of families’ lives in central Jersey each week. The West Windsor Community Farmers Market hosts fourteen regional farms, all located from within 50-miles of West Windsor and twelve artisan food producers and on-site knife sharpener.

Known for its wide variety of offerings, residents can do a good majority of their weekly shopping in one big, positive and friendly place! Meander about to find seasonal fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers, grass-fed meats and cheeses, poultry, pastured eggs, local honey, sustainably caught fresh fish, breads, pastries, mushrooms, jams, pickles and pickled vegetables, sauces, locally grown oats, sourdough starter, fresh pasta, local wine, salads, bone broth, along with fresh crepes, egg sandwiches, acai bowls and fresh-pressed juices and fruit smoothies.

While many of the public events have been curtailed this season due to the global pandemic, the amazing community feel is still very much felt at the outdoor market. The market’s layout was changed this year to widen aisles, create queuing areas, and limit the amount of cars parked at any time. Manager Chris Cirkus says, “the sites, sounds and smells of the market continue to entertain even amidst the most unusual season ever!”

Many shoppers quickly shop and go, while others bring their onleash friendly dogs to wander the open-air market and happen upon a new food find.

The organizers of this 501(c)3 non-profit are local residents and lovers of a healthy lifestyle filled with fresh foods. Cirkus, the market’s long time manager boasts, “New Jersey’s rich agricultural history and bounty is alive and well at the West Windsor Community Farmers Market! We’ve adapted and responded to our new now in such a way that customers as well as our farms and vendors feel safe and comfortable.” Many farms and vendors offer pre-order options listed on the market’s website and in the weekly e-newsletter.

The Market has been voted as New Jersey’s favorite farmers market in the annual American Farmland Trust Farmers Market Celebration contest nine years in a row.

The two met initially while attending Princeton Day School but started a relationship when they met again while working in Philadelphia.

The couple say their “ultimate goal is a farm that uses energy from the sun or the earth, has zero outside inputs, no external animal feed, no external fertilizers and a very limited carbon footprint.”

Art of Quarantine

A

rtists responded to U.S. 1’s invitation to share visual thoughts, feelings, and discoveries during our current health crisis.

This week Trenton-based artist Robert Lowe notes the following: The COVID 19 pandemic has impacted us all. But for me the actual quarantine has had little impact. I tend to be a bit of an introvert, so the forced isolation served mostly to alleviate my need to make excuses.

However, the hardship I witness

around me, and the sense of powerlessness in the face of overwhelming need has hit hard.

As a result, I initially had trouble focusing, crippling to any artist.

And as my practice of art serves to calm my mind, that avenue of escape kept getting filled with potholes.

Fortunately, I had some watercolors started before the outbreak, so for them it was just a matter of learning to refocus on pieces that already had life. I hit the wall when

it came time to start something new. That was a major struggle, and I was blocked.

I had dusted off my pastels months before – dreaming of playing with them again after a 10 year hiatus – a dream that has come and gone over the last several years in fact. And in my initial attempts to divert my mind, I had renovated a room that I now realized could serve as their studio. So I gave them a try.

What you see here is the result.

In retrospect I now realize why they became the key. I think best with my hands, and pastels, as I practice them, is an aggressive medium. My painting, especially watercolor, is gentle, and for me this was not the time for gentle. Far

Double Brook’s Survival Guidepoint of public engagement is its Brick Farm ResContinued from preceding taurant, taking its name page from a brick farmhouse, and two partnering businesses, Troon Brewery and Sour Land Distillery. Another point is the Brick Farm Market, located about a half a mile away and where farm products are sold. You can also purchase lunch sandwiches and beverages (as I did. They also partner with Red Barn Milk Company to make ice cream and operate another restaurant at dairy site in Ringoes.

For more information, visit the Brick Farm Groups at brickfarmgroup.com.

The next stop is New Jersey’s oldest CSA, Honey brook Organic Farm.

While I stopped at the shop at 260 Wargo Road, Pennington, Honey Brook also operates a farm in Chesterfield (Burlington County).

The enterprise was started by the farm’s general manager Jim Kinsel in 1991, a past tenant farmer who puts his degree in mathematics to work on solving problems related to growing food.

The farm manager is Sherry Dudas, who addition to having a decade of working in conservation and farmland preservation is married to Kinsel and handles the farm’s website.

Honey Brook’s business model focuses on CSA and home deliveries to the greater Mercer/Bucks County region and including areas in Burlington, Camden, Essex, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Monmouth, and Somerset counties.

In Honey Brook’s recent newsletter, Dudas freely discusses the farm’s situation during the pandemic and provides a peak into farming operations.

“Months ago, we thought we would be planning pot lucks and a farm-to-table dinner to celebrate

our 30th anniversary, but now we’re forced to put these plans on hold, as well as some others.”

Instead she says she and Kinsel found themselves trying to address the pandemic and “encouraged office staff to work from home, but when we needed to train new office staff, this was not practical, and there were stresses and anxieties we needed to work through with office staff working in our new office in Chesterfield. We needed to upgrade phone and internet services, find a new office cleaning service and move office furniture during the pandemic, just to name a few of the challenges bestowed on us. The increased customer service needs were overwhelming for new staff,

“(But) most staff at the farm are working incredibly long hours, while wearing face masks in the heat of the summer. Until recently, Farmer Jim and I worked every day of the week since March. Staff who have opted to work through these unprecedented conditions in this historic year have far exceeded our expectations and are, frankly, the cream of the crop, the most essential of the essential workers working in America today.”

While the farm stand is mainly for CSO members to select available food or pick up their membership box, the farm sometimes has a product offered to the public.

During my recent visit, the CSA rep recommended the ears of organic corn ($1.50) with the pitch, “So sweet you don’t need to cook them.” The rep was right.

Honey Brook Organic Farm, 260 Wargo Road, Pennington, www.honeybrookorganicfarm. com.

While the above mentioned story and links focused on cooperatives and CSAs, I realized that they missed a regional farm that easily connected people and produce, farm producers, and the general community and families: Terhune Orchard on Cold Soil Road in Lawrenceville.

Originally owned by the Terhune Family, the 55-acre property — including a Depression-era farm store — was purchased in 1975 by Gary and Pam Mount who operate the farm and shop with their family.

Gary had grown up on an apple farm in West Windsor. The couple met at Princeton High School served together in the Peace Corps where they worked in agriculture projects.

Initially focusing on apples, the open-all-year farm store sells fresh produce, dairy and meat products, jams, honey, maple syrup and pickled vegetables, and their own line

of New Jersey wines.

Using a model that Double Brook’s Jon McConaughy says he studied, Terhune either raises its own produce or sources it from a network of suppliers within a 50 mile radius.

Operations include a farm and wine shop and gift baskets that can be sent locally or nationally.

In response to the COVID-19 quarantine, the Mounts also recently launched a Farm to Door program that delivers to homes within a 10-mile radius for the cost of produce and a $10 delivery fee.

What also makes the farm a center where people of all generations can connect to a farm is its general accessibility. It store is open all year and there are festivals, special events, wind tasting, and weekend concerts.

And as a dad who has brought his son there for many years, I will attest it is a great place to take a winter ride to the farm shop to both get a child out of the house and connect them with something I have

contributing to two leaving without appropriate notice, and increasing the workload of staff who steadfastly remained with us.”

She also notes, “As has been reported in several media outlets, the demand for CSA shares throughout the country exploded during the early phase of the Covid-19 outbreak. Many CSA farms have now sold out of shares. Software platforms, which serve farms, were overwhelmed and (farms) found themselves short-staffed, and are now increasing hires, at a time when it is difficult to find workers willing or comfortable with working during the pandemic . . .”

Opportunities Scholarships Planned The African American Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey (AACCNJ), with a founding donation of $10,000 from Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of NJ, has launched an effort to recruit 20 corporate partners to fund a $100,000 scholarship program aimed at helping impacted young black male and female students replace lost summer income so that they can continue their education.

“For students from traditionally under served communities, college can be a critical path to economic and social empowerment. While many benefit from financial aid or scholarships that cover much of the cost of college, the reality for most is that those programs typically require a student to contribute something toward the total cost and many count on a summer job or internship to earn that money,” said John E. Harmon, Sr. AACCNJ’s founder, president, and CEO. To help these students, AACCNJ has created a scholarship program that will offer grants of up to $2,000 to students from New Jersey who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Interested students can apply through the application found at app. pedul.com. Pedul is an online platform created by two former Rutgers University students that allows students to apply to thousands of local and national scholarships with a single application.

These scholarships will fill a critical gap by providing students unrestricted resources to cover their share of the costs and continue investing in their future. Horizon has always been a good partner for us and their willingness to step up again and help lead this effort reflects their commitment to the people and communities of our state,” Harmon continued.

Harmon has begun an outreach effort to identify 19 additional companies willing to donate to the scholarship fund. Anyone interested in learning more about the Chamber or the scholarship program can contact John Harmon at jharmon@aaccnj.com or by calling the AACCNJ at 609571-1620.

New Mural Launches River Project in Bordentown

T

he recently completed mural on a 40-foot shipping container along the shore of the Delaware River in Bordentown is the beginning of a work in progress.

Princeton artist Marlon Davila completed his third and largest area mural in early July as the first phase of a D&R Greenway project that will connect area residents to the water — as both symbol and source of recreation.

The first is reflected in Davila’s interest in creating art influenced by nature, romanticism, and surrealism.

Davila says such recurring themes in his work reflect spiritual seeking and the influence of the subconscious mind. He explores life journeys of individuals seen from both the long view and dayto-day living. He values all of life’s experiences including joy and pain.

“At a young age of seven, I had a firsthand experience with death when my baby brother passed away unexpectedly from a serious viral disease. He was only five days old,” Davila says.

In one of his online portfolios, he writes: “This left me really traumatized and fearful of losing any more loved ones in my life.”

But, he continues, over the past couple years he has come to realize that we are all eternal beings and that endings are not our destiny.

“We just transition into different paths in our lives,” he says.

Davila decided to pursue a career in art more than a decade ago, but his journey there began before he was born. He was conceived after his biological father had kidnapped his young mother.

Through the efforts of his grandmother, his mother was rescued, and her family helped her move from their hometown in Guatemala to Princeton, where she could live with an aunt.

Davila was born in 1974 at the old Princeton Medical Center on

Witherspoon Street. He and his mom lived in Princeton for about one year before returning to Guatemala.

His mom fell in love and married the man who became Davila’s stepfather, but their happiness was short-lived.

After discovering that Davila had been sexually abused by a step uncle, they moved back to Princeton when he was eight years old.

His stepfather worked at Princeton University as a janitor and also worked part-time as a mechanic.

After high school Davila took a job at a pharmacy and as a security guard. When he was 19 he discovered he had gay leanings and because of his religious upbringing feared that he would literally go to hell when he died. “For many years, I struggled with drinking,” he says, recalling “a dark time.”

One day, in a moment of introspection, he heard an inner voice that told him he was loved and there was nothing wrong with his sexual orientation. He describes that event as a spiritual experience that marked a turning point in his life, renewed his sense of selfworth, and inspired him to pursue a creative career.

He moved to Florida, where he studied fashion design at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale and later worked at the Boca Raton Resort Hotel in the party and events department setting up props, lighting, and bonfires.

He had no intention of moving back to New Jersey until he received a call from a family member informing him that his mother was very sick. He moved back in 2005 and landed a job at Princeton University as a library special collections assistant.

He also enrolled at Mercer County Community College to study graphic design. “I knew nothing about painting then,” he says. “But my teacher saw some-

thing in me and encouraged me to take a painting class.”

Davila enrolled in a course, discovered that he loved painting, and switched his major to fine arts. He graduated with honors and was awarded the Jack Harris Memorial Scholarship. He further honed his love of painting by attending “Art Escape Italy,” a workshop held in the province of Lucca and led by Norwegian oil painter Henrik Uldalen.

Davila continued working at the university while painting in his free time. When his work was shown in an exhibit sponsored by the university’s Center for Collaborative His-

tory, Davila entered a self-portrait, a likeness of his face surrounded by images, among them, a tiger, a Buddha figure, the number 1111, and a skull.

“I believe in the power of symbols,” he says. “Tiger is my spirit animal. A tiger roams on its own. It moves to the beat of his own drum.

I’ve never been persuaded to do what everyone else does.” The number 1111 reflects the frequency with which the number appeared to him on clocks or other devices during that period of his life. The Buddha represents his meditation practice, and the skull is a reminder that we don’t live in this form forever but for a limited time.

This mural is Davila’s first foray outside of Mercer County.

His first is located on the corner

of John Street and Leigh Avenue, “Journey.” The other is an untitled mural in the office building of Axiom Healthcare Strategies on Hulfish Street in Princeton.

The new mural on a container storing kayaks and canoes for future water use was inspired by first and second-generation high school students from the Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund youth program FUTURO. About 30 high school juniors from Trenton, Princeton, and Lawrence were involved early on in the process of planning the mural.

The collaboration between D&R Greenway and LALDEF was orchestrated by Nadeem Demian, who worked a year-long fellowship with D&R Greenway since last July.

The community conservation fellow took charge of the project and moved forward with the connection with LALDEF by setting up workshops for the students and mural artist to interact.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the students were able to meet with Davila and D&R Greenway once in person. The children were presented with information about the Delaware River and its resources.

The water activities and educational programs for which the D&R Greenway repurposed the shipping container and watercraft were discussed as ways of bringing people closer to the natural environment.

Students were asked to create artwork that described their interpretation of the river and sharing awareness about its environmental resources.

Along with the one in-person meeting, two virtual meetings were held over Zoom in April and May. “Once the kids submitted their projects, I went ahead and I printed them out and I cut them out individually,” Davila said. “So I basically started out as, ‘OK, this is

their drawings and I’m going to create a collage.’”

Getting the students deeply involved with the outcome of the mural was a task Demian took very seriously, patiently working with LALDEF in coordinating through the pandemic. He saw the mural as an opportunity to increase the access to green spaces for the Latinx community.

The kayaks and canoes in the container are part of a new D&R Greenway education project supported by a $20,000 grant from the William Penn Foundation in Philadelphia and developed in collaboration with City of Bordentown and the Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund.

Project coordinators say that since no other kayak or canoe livery existed near Bordentown, Bordentown Beach provided an advantageous place for the new fleet. The watercraft will allow for up to 18 people out on the water at once.

The grant funding purchased the watercraft and shipping container and hired the mural artist.

Looking towards the end of the pandemic, D&R Greenway intends to use its funding to hire teachers for their educational program from local organizations, one being the SPLASH Steamboat Floating Classroom.

Life in tHe Fast Lane NRG Acquires Direct Energy Funding Received

A

Nassau Street-based healthcare startup is among the small businesses that are benefiting from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority’s new New Jersey Entrepreneur Support Program.

The program, designed to support innovative companies impacted by COVID-19, provides a guarantee to support repayment of up to 80 percent of an eligible investor loan, not to exceed $200,000 per company.

Ricovr Healthcare Inc., the Princeton-based company, received $200,000 in investments supported by the program. The startup has developed biosensor technology for use in saliva-based diagnostic testing.

In April the company announced that it had received $1.1 million in seed funding led by San Franciscobased HALLEY Ventur Partners.

Ricovr’s product is intended for rapid drug testing specifically for THC — the psychoactive component of cannabis products — and could be used by law enforcement and employers in addition to medical professionals.

In light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the company is also exploring applications of its technology to rapid, saliva-based antigen testing to facilitate quick diagnosis of COVID-19.

Ricovr was founded in 2018 by Himanshu Bhatia, who earned his medical degree in India and also holds a master’s from the University of Texas Health Science Center and an MBA from the University of Rochester, and Piyush Sadana, a serial entrepreneur with an MBA from Columbia University.
