Residents express concerns about new garbage pickup program

Regional record shop still supporting live music By RichArD SKeLLy John Chrambanis learned to harness his financial resources working with his father at the family’s Trenton restaurants, including the New Presto and Old Tavern. Along with his wife, Sue, whose family owned the Fruit Bowl and Copper Kitchen, the two know a few things about dealing with the public, running a business, and managing growth. And it all has come in handy while they’ve been running the Record Collector on Farnsworth Avenue in Bordentown. And for older “kids” in their 40s, 50s and 60s — people who can recall a time as kids when records were sold in places like Two Guys, Woolworth’s, and other five and dime stores — the Record Collector is a place that not only sells recordings but provides live shows and serves as a gathering place for like-minded music fans. Born and raised in Trenton, Chrambanis says he has always had an interest in music. “As a youngster, I took trumpet and piano lessons, and I always wanted to play percussion and drums. Later on I did play in a few bands, but my lifelong love of music played a big role in what I ultimately chose to do for a living, running the record store,” he says from his home in Yardley, Pennsylvania. But that choice came after attending Rider College and West Virginia University and See COLELCTOR, Page 10

By SAM SciArrOTTA When Bordentown Township instituted a new garbage pickup program last month, some residents were ready to take it out with the trash. Central Jersey Waste Services recently signed on as the township’s new garbage contractor, which started a new trash pickup schedule and process—articulated pickup—Feb. 17. Articulated pickup uses an automated Bordentown’s Elizabeth Campbell (left) stands with President Barack Obama at the 2019 National lever attached to the garbage Diversity and Inclusion Conference in Dallas, Texas last March.

TRASH continued from Page 1 after—the transition. After the first scheduled pickup, some posted in a Facebook group that their homes were skipped over, while others wrote that loose trash was left on their lawns. Some were concerned about the durability of the trash cans and whether or not they would be able to withstand weekly lifts and drops and noted that a new or additional can costs $100. According to a Bordentown Township Facebook post, cans are municipal property and stay with the home when a resident moves. In a press release, of ficials said the $100 cost covers the container itself, as well as landfill costs that come with additional trash. Residents can order additional cans through the municipal of fice, either in-person or by mail. Smaller cans (65- and 45-gallon) are also available. Still, some residents were happy with the change and attributed the issues to what was a period of transition for the township. The township is now divided into three zones, each with its own pickup

day: Tuesday (Zone One), Wednesday (Zone Two) and Thursday (Zone Three). Bulk pickup for Zone One will be on the first and third Monday of each month, excluding holidays. Bulk pickup for zones two and three will occur on the second and fourth Monday of each month, excluding holidays. For a standard pickup, cans must be placed curbside and three feet away from parked cars, mailboxes, recycling cans or other items. Brush, trees, branches, leaves, stumps, treated wood and ornamental grass are not permitted in the containers. A detailed breakdown of each zone is available on the Bordentown Township website. Recycling will still be collected each Monday, and brush pickup can still be scheduled through the township.

Bordentown Township is now divided into three zones for trash pickup, each on a different day.

CAMPBELL continued from Page 1 to have their own cars, although their parents did have three cars. Early on Campbell knew she would become either a doctor or a lawyer— because she wanted to help people. But medicine fell out as a career choice early on because, she says, “I don’t like inflicting pain in the name of helping people.” It was a television show, Perry Mason, that first introduced her to the law as a possible profession. “He drove a convertible, had a secretary, and had a nice office,” she says, but also “I saw Perry Mason helping people in the courtroom, and he was an advocate.” What clinched her decision to pursue law, though, was a junior high school teacher’s assignment to read several books by the same author for a book report. Either at the Bordentown Public Library or her school library, she selected the books to read, “literally, I would say, by divine intervention. I stumbled upon Earl Stanley Gardner, [who] wrote the books that formed the story line for Perry Mason.” Those books, which go into much greater detail than possible in a television screenplay, strongly reinforced the groundwork that the television show had laid. But she also had some pragmatic reasons for wanting a legal career. “I liked the research, loved the investigation, liked the analysis,” she says. Although her parents and family fully supported her decision to pursue the law, not everyone did. While she was at Peter Muschal, then a K-8 school with very few African Americans, one

male teacher told her she couldn’t be a school she “had to do very well because lawyer, but that she could be a teacher I didn’t go to Princeton. I needed a or a nurse. “I was puzzled by that,” she springboard because I was not comrecalls, noting that she wasn’t raised to ing from an Ivy League school, so I question authority. When she did cross did everything,” she says. She was on paths with him again in Washington, dean’s list, was involved in student govD.C., already a lawyer, she says, “He was ernment, and double-majored in political science and psychology. very gracious.” She encountered another potential In her junior or senior year, she encountered another effort to steer obstacle at the beginning of her senior her future, on the part of a Caucasian year, one that narrowed the number of applications she submitstudent who told her “in ted to law school. Her a very dismissive and honors program coundemeaning way, that I selor met with to talk couldn’t get into Princabout her graduate school eton.” She took this as a plans. Luckily she had challenge, applied, and already submitted some got in, but she decided applications when he not to matriculate, in part advised her, “You can’t go because “it is literally in to a top law school; you my backyard.” Also, in have to apply to schools visits to schools in Washwhere you can get in, ington, D.C., she realized like Rutgers, American, “that was the environment and UNC Chapel Hill— I wanted to be in—I loved because they’ll accept any government, politics, and black student.” advocacy.” So she chose Campbell “Here I’d been bustthe honors college at ing it for three and a half American University. She was accepted to live on the black years and was graduating with honors,” cultural floor on a predominantly white she says. “That was disheartening, but campus, where, she says, “I got a chance fortunately my application to Michigan to cushion the blow going from a small was already in. But I never applied to town to a big city and a big university Harvard or Yale.” She got early acceptance to the topby having other people like me. … It was an incredible group of women who ranked University of Michigan Law. “My were very supportive,” she says, and she class consisted of people who were from the University of Michigan undergrad, remains friendly with many of them. When Campbell chose American, she Michigan State, some others, but a ton was aware that to get into a good law of Ivies. That was a great equalizer—in

the field of law your law school trumps your undergrad.” She adds that she probably had much more fun in undergraduate school than the Ivy graduates. Citing the benefits of her experience at the University of Michigan, Campbell says “it teaches you how to think; teaches you the big picture; teaches you theory and policy.” Graduates, she continues, go on typically do good work, and are not typically functionaries. And they come out of law school equipped with confidence that if they put their minds to it and work hard, they can do anything they want to do. As her career developed, she started doing employment law, representing large employers. She soon realized that what really intrigued her was how to help improve the workplace environment. “In representing large companies I realized that sometimes the employers actually did what the employees said they did, the negative things, and I became more intrigued with the opportunity to address workplace issues—not just defend companies and get the best deal for a company but to actually look at the underlying root causes. If you look at it that way, you can effect change over time.” In 1988, after nine years at DLA Piper, she moved to Delaware North in Buffalo, New York, a privately held company that provides concessions and retail food to sports venues—a good fit for Campbell, who is also passionate about sports. Until 1995 she worked in the general counsel’s office, but in 1995 she moved out of pure law to the business side, where she was doing policy and having

an opportunity to influence change. From 1995 to 1996 she served as special assistant to the president, coordinating the implementation of an overall business strategic plan, including the launch of new fine dining and retail brand operations and the implementation of human resources recommendations. From 1996 to 1997, as vice president of administration for Sportservice, she was responsible for the management of both support services, including training, purchasing, and new business development, and of food and beverage concepts. Once she was out of pure law, and on the business side, she says, “You are doing policy and have the opportunity to influence change. I was working on strategy, and I liked affecting policy.” In 1998 Aramark, a corporation with 175,000 U.S. employees headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, hired her as a senior director to create an employment practices department. “I had all the proactive pieces I needed, and being in HR and not legal I was able to do policy and work on things in the culture, the environment that enables people to be successful.” She left Aramark in 2001 when she was offered a position as vice president of human resources at Globeground North America in Great Neck, a program that worked in the aviation industry in New York. It was a promotion and was an incredible learning experience, she says. However, being at a company whose employees all worked at airports during the period following 9/11, even

though they didn’t lose anyone, made her open to returning to Aramark when they invited her to come back as vice president of employment relations and corporate diversity officer. To give a taste of some of the diversity work she is proud of, Campbell talks about what she accomplished at Aramark. In situations when an employee’s documentation or even legal residence has been questioned, she says, “Some employers just fire people.” But she came up with a better solution to ensure that all employees at Aramark were in compliance with government requirements and authorized to work in this country. She instituted a process where everyone in a particular location was audited and required to show their documentation. “We made sure we had double checked everything, and if there was a discrepancy, we gave people three days to address it,” she says. For example, sometimes payroll might mistype a person’s social security number, which would generate a report from the Social Security Administration, and “it makes sense to give people time to correct that.” But if they can’t prove in three days that they are authorized to

work, they go through the termination process. “I was very sensitive to what we were going to do as a corporation and how we treated people,” she says. “Aramark was open to me doing these things—taking a step back and looking at the big picture.” A more policy-oriented achievement was related to how the company gave people promotional opportunities. In contrast with the widespread approach of ‘Oh, I know somebody you should hire. I’ll just bring this person to you, and you say fine,’” she required that opportunities be posted. The more informal approach, she says, “doesn’t go a long way in creating opportunities for others who may have been excluded from the process.” Later in her time at Aramark, she helped develop training around diversity. She started with building awareness. As a career development opportunity, her manager assigned her to a team of people senior to her, including human resources vice presidents and the head of training, that was tasked with developing training to build awareness of company strategy. She emphasizes that this

was not Equal Employment Opportunity training that targeted areas like discrimination and sexual harassment, but rather strategic diversity training. “That was when a big light bulb went off for me,” she says. Rather than compliance issues, “we were helping people see the advantage of having a diverse workforce—the business advantage.” The training that the team developed over a year, called Kaleidoscope, taught people about a strategy and “ways of behavior consistent with that strategy,” she says, and she learned a lot about what was involved with designing training. In her second stint with Aramark, the company was ready to take the next step beyond baseline awareness training. She created the Diversity Leadership Council comprising Aramark decisionmakers, with tiered training focusing on particular skills for different management levels. She also wrote an outline of training that could be deployed to the hourly workforce. “It was important to me that we develop these concepts and share them,” she says. At Aramark she worked successfully on policy in partnership with the vice president responsible for benefits they agreed to provide domestic partner benefits for same-sex couples—before same-sex marriage was legal. “If we were really going to drive the company to diversity and inclusion at a high level, that’s what we had to do,” she says. At Aramark another focus was on increasing the representation of women and people of color among the top 250 See CAMPBELL, Page 8

CAMPBELL continued from Page 7 people in the company. To increase the representation of women, Campbell says, “The key was to have a strategy around attracting, developing, retaining, and promoting women.” One effort involved a women’s summit for women from the education division and their clients, who were CFOs, provosts, and senior officials at colleges and universities, were invited to participate. At the summit, she says, “We were creating opportunities for our female senior level people to interact with clients—to develop skills and relationships and learn about the business.” To draw more African Americans to work at Aramark, the company sponsored a national conference of the National Black MBA Association and showcased its own African American employees at the event, for example, by putting them on panels and having a chef do a culinary demonstration. “It takes strategy, what you are trying to do and why, and the hard tactical work of how to bring the two together,” Campbell says. After leaving Aramark in 2005, she worked for a year at The Weinstein Firm, an employment law and human resources consulting firm in Philadelphia. In 2007 she was hired by a 350+-lawyer firm in Houston as partner and chief diversity officer. Then the Campbell Soup Company (no relation) found Campbell on LinkedIn and offered her a position in 2018 as director of diversity and inclusion. “It is the most prominent brand I’ve ever worked for; it’s not something you turn away,” she says. And it was also close to family. Campbell Soup, she says, “is less like a law firm and more like Aramark with a greater number of employees: I have the opportunity to make a difference, to help other people.” In August 2018 Campbell Soup

announced a two divisional operating model, and she became director of inclusion and diversity for the snacks division. As a first step in the long-term process of developing a diversity strategy, she interviewed members of the leadership team individually to understand “where they see inclusion and diversity in the business for the future—where the opportunity is.” The diversity at Campbell Soup’s business happens on many levels. Its consumer base is diverse. “Our consumers in the United States are going through changing demographics—who goes to the grocery store; do we buy products at the grocery store or order online; how does product get to a household; who is in the household; and what does dinnertime look like. These all reflect the evolving diversity in our society.” “I think an inclusive culture unleashes the power of diversity. Diverse teams are high performing and innovative.” Campbell is also on the board of the National Diversity Council, which advocates to businesses about the benefits of diversity and inclusion. “I have been fortunate to be able to work in this space and to work with organizations—in this case nonprofits—that align with my values. I believe that we need more diversity in our legal profession, and I’m doing what I can to support that by working with prelaw students,” she says. A member of four state bars, Campbell also coaches women and people of color to pass the bar. “The reason I’m so motivated to help students in particular is that I don’t want anyone telling them they can’t do something. This is what drives some of my work,” Campbell says. “I just don’t want what happened to me to happen to someone else—being told by a junior high teacher that I couldn’t be a lawyer and by my college advisor that I couldn’t get into a top-notch law school.”

Weidel Bordentown: The way home since 1915

When Linda Carnival, the manager of the Weidel Real Estate Bordentown office, is asked what makes Weidel stand out from the competition, the answer comes easy. “It’s history,” she says. Weidel is one of the only continuously-owned family operations in the area. The Weidel company started back in 1915, and there is still a Weidel running it.” Other things, too, make this office of real estate associates special, notes Carnival. “We have weekly meetings, training seminars, but we also have special outings. For instance, we recently took a light rail train ride along the Delaware River, all the way down to The Adventure Aquarium. We passed through all those quaint river towns on the journey. Going down the river line, I saw things I hadn’t remembered from growing up in this area. Then, we all stopped at the Madison Pub in Riverside for lunch. These train stations take you near craft stores, pubs, florists, all sorts of little shops along the waterfront.” “So, for the people who work here, it’s not just about sitting in an office. They know you have to go out and meet people, get to know different areas and neighborhoods,” Carnival continues. To that end, the Weidel office also participates in the Bordentown Street Fair every May, where they have a booth, (“we have been doing that for 28 years,” Linda notes proudly) as well as the Burlington County Farm Fair in July. Additionally, Weidel takes part in various local business expos. Another distinction that Weidel is proud of: For over 20 years, the Bordentown office has been an authorized Collection Center for Toys for Tots, from October through Christmas of every year. “Toys are dropped off to our office by so many wonderful, giving people, we can barely enter our office with all the toys!,” says Carnival. These events and visits, maintains Linda, is how relationships are built that can turn into long-term clients. Since people can go through a lifetime with multiple rentals, purchases and sales of homes, those kinds of relationships can be gold for a devoted realtor. Weidel’s listings and clients are also

spread across several counties. Notes Carnival, “we do all of Burlington County, Mercer County, parts of Ocean, Monmouth, areas in Cherry Hill: much of south and north Jersey. All of our realtors are eligible to work anywhere in the state. So we have agents who will go out quite a bit from their area. Plus, we are in a great location. We are near beaches, 30 minutes from Philly, an hour from NYC. And, we also have an office in Pennsylvania.” Those facts are what the realtors impress upon their clients, who, Carnival states, “are real professionals. They are energetic, motivated, they want to do a good job. They pay attention to the buyer or the seller they are working with and to their needs and wants. It is really important to get those types of people working for you.” Linda notes that is particularly important when clients are those who have relocated due to a job and are unfamiliar with the area. “We help them with the process to make sure they feel they are a part of the town.” Another group that is important for those reasons are military families. And, since the Bordentown office is not far from the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, a lot of Weidel’s clients tend to be just that, which are a particularly special group to her. “These are people who might be coming from another part of the country, who don’t know the area, don’t have any friends or family here. And they have to deal with getting their children settled, getting into the school system, a whole adjustment. They have a real need to be well-taken care of, and that is very important to me,” she reflects. In the end, though, it is about all of Weidel’s clients, both new and established. Because, the end of the day, as Linda notes, “it’s all about the relationships you build.” It’s why, Carnival notes, the company slogan is “THE WAY HOME-SINCE 1915.” Thinking about buying or selling a home?

‘If my kids want to continue to run the store, they can.’ –John Chrambanis

The Record Collector’s Farnsworth Avenue.

space

A record release party in May by Trenton-area musician Joe “Zook” Zuccarello and his band, Blues Deluxe, provides a good example of how things work. While Zook packed the house, John and Sue used their restaurant talents to serve patrons candy bars, water, soda, diner-style strong coffee and tea, and hot dogs — creating an atmosphere conducive to letting the music takes center stage. The couple says since the former owner had plans for a dollar store in

front and apartments around back, the Record Collector has a large back room that could eventually become a much larger performance space, holding even more than the 50-odd people the store currently does. “We have plans for an expansion, and they’ve been approved, but they’re on hold for a very simple reason,” Chrambanis says. “To renovate that back room would cost another several hundred thousand dollars. Now, I’m pushing 70 and almost all my bills are paid off.” Chrambanis’ daughter, Mary, and son-in-law, Evan, are in the restaurant and music business, but they’re thousands of miles off in Seattle. His son-inlaw, Evan, plays and tours with the Boss Martians and the Sonics, a well-known Seattle-area surf band. He said he has no plans to expand unless his daughter and son-in-law are interested in relocating back to New Jersey to help with operations. “I’m at a point in my life now where, I have to ask myself, do I want to take on that kind of challenge? “If my kids want to continue to run the store, they can. We still have all the approvals in place for it as a cafe, record store, and performance space. That would eventually be my hope.” Coming up this month at the Record Collector is the Spanking Charlene CD release show on March 7 and Soraia with Kris Rodgers and the Dirty Gems on March 21.

sports Frader follows in his father’s footsteps for BRHS bowling By Rich Fisher In the mid-1990s, Ed Frader was the No. 1 man on the Bordentown Regional High School bowling team. His son knew all about it, and wanted nothing more than to keep the family tradition alive. Thus, when the time came, Bordentown Middle School student Lucas Frader was in the front row. “When I was in eighth grade they came over and gave out forms to sign up for bowling,” Lucas recalled. “I was right there, ready to sign up.” It’s easy to see why. Frader went on to enjoy a solid fouryear career with the Scotties, which he capped this season with a 160 average to lead the team. He had a high game of 211 against New Egypt and rolled his best set of the year at the sectionals with a 616, which missed the state cut by just 30 pins. “Over the four years, Lucas has progressed and progressed and progressed and progressed,” coach Ron Jones said. “He kept it going. He was the consummate bowler. As with any bowler he had good days and bad days, but he was never too high, never too low.”

Bordentown bowling coach Ron Jones calls Lucas Frader a “consummate bowler.” (Photo by Rich Fisher.) The veteran coach was just happy Frader hung around long enough to keep progressing. “As a freshman he was solid,” Jones said. “We just expected ‘OK we’re

gonna have him for four years, let’s make sure he’s happy and doesn’t decide to go do something else like run track or something, like we’ve had some kids do.”

There was probably no danger of that happening, as Frader was a bowler from the start. He began at 10-years-old, playing with Ed in a Fathers-Son League at the now defunct Papp’s. Ed served as his son’s mentor, and Lucas began to slowly improve each year. “Bowling was a way for me to spend more time with my dad,” Frader said. “I wanted to be like him because he was the best bowler on the team when he bowled here. “My dad helped me out a lot, he was my main coach. I liked bowling right away. It took me a little while to get the hang of it. I didn’t start bowling serious until I got a good bowling ball, an expensive one. I was about 13 or 14. That’s when I started understanding how to bowl.” He got that bowl midway through his freshman year, and ended up raising his average to near 140. His goals were simple for that first season. “It was just a way for me to show I was good and wasn’t just another random person,” Frader said. “I was very happy. They liked me, they knew I could bowl well and it just went from there.”

body else, the person he wanted out was under-performing.” Away from high school competition, Frader still bowls in a league with his dad at Hamilton Lanes. He would love to gain a bowling scholarship for college but says “I don’t think I’m good enough to do it in college.” He will, however, continue to do it for fun, “for a long time.” As far as college academics go, Frader has high expectations as he hopes to be an architect. He currently has an internship at an area firm, and a recent drawing he did for a survey received praise from the bosses. “That was one of my dreams when I was younger but I never thought I could do it,” said Frader, who sports a 3.4 grade point average. “Now that I’m getting the experience I think I would be able to do it if I tried. “When I was younger I liked building stuff. My mom said it would be a cool job. So I’ve tried to do everything I could to get close to architecture.” He is planning on visiting Drexel, which has a touted program. And while his future looks bright, he will miss his time on the lanes wearing a Scotties’ shirt. “I think our team did well this year,” Frader said of the 10-7-2 squad. “We have a couple of young bowlers who have grown. I’ve gotten so close with so many of the guys on the team, it’s kind of sad to see that’s over.” Jones feels the same way. “He’s just been a great person, a great student and a great athlete for the four years that I’ve known him,” the coach said. “It’s been a real pleasure.”

He ended up making All-Division his next three years, prompting Jones to say with a smile, “That’s what we like, all stars.” The coach feels Frader’s biggest strength was his consistency. “You could always count on him,” Jones said. “Would I have liked to see him with a higher average? Yes. But that’s the way things go. Averages are averages because one day you’re bowling 190 and the next day you’re doing the same thing and its 150, and you get that happy medium.” Frader was relatively happy with his senior season, although he felt he struggled early in the year before getting another new ball—his third in four years. “I think that was the problem,” he said. “I started bowling really well with it. I used it for the sectionals.” And while he was happy with that 616 series, he felt a tinge of disappointment at not advancing. “I never made states,” he said. “It would have been cool to make it once.” Aside from his skills as a bowler, Frader also had strong leadership abilities. He was made team captain this year and, during matches that weren’t going too well for the Scotties, Lucas would make requests to his coach. “He was ready to fill up the roster sheet, it was ‘OK, who do you want and where?’,” Jones said. “Lucas would come to me occasionally halfway through a match and ask ‘Anybody over in the JV match doing good that we can use?’ He’d ask for someone, and more often than not he got what he wanted because when Lucas came looking for some-

Wrestler Ermi’s ‘style’ is unpredictability on the mat By Rich Fisher If Colman Ermi was a wrestler’s future opponent, the worst thing that foe could do was try to scout him, since it was nearly impossible to figure out the “Ermi style.” That’s because there was none, which the Bordentown Regional High School senior very unpredictable, very dangerous wrestler during his senior year. “He’s crafty,” Scotties coach Mike Gill said. “It’s not conventional. It’s not the picturesque, rulebook wrestler where one move translates to another move. It’s a different style every time. It’s unique. It’s something where you don’t really know what you’re gonna get until it happens. He can wrestle the same match 1,000 times and the result might be the same but the approach to that result may be different every time.” In other words, if an opponent saw Ermi do one thing on Wednesday, he might not have seen it when they meet on Friday. “It’s hard to match somebody’s style, especially when their style constantly changes,” Gill continued. “His style constantly changes so it’s hard to find the right word or adjective or right way to describe a style that’s constantly adapting. If something doesn’t work there’s somewhere else to go and that’s some-

more fun to watch.” Ermi became especially enjoyable to watch the past several years. After a youth sports career that included baseball, basketball and football, Colman switched gears in 7th grade and opted for soccer and wrestling. Soccer was his fun sport that got him in shape for wrestling, which he began to take seriously after 9th grade. “I had a tough freshman season and that just made something switch on in my head because I wanted to get better,” Ermi said. “I didn’t like losing. Right after freshman season, that’s when I started wrestling at clubs. It’s (since) thinned out a little during the season but I was doing a lot last summer and after last season, and I still go to Shore Thing (in Lakewood).” The work paid off. Ermi won 26 Bordentown wrestler Colman Ermi is known for his crafty, unconventional approach matches as a sophomore and 27 last year, when he took third at districts to competing against his opponents.

season prepared himself the right way. “He got into the zone and you could see that kind of switch flip in his head, but at the same time he knew where he was at,” Gill said. “He wasn’t overthinking every little thing where ‘If I do this wrong or I do this right.’ It’s just go out and see what happens.” The results were quickly apparent, as Ermi took second at 120 pounds in The College of New Jersey Tournament and followed that by winning the Collingswood Tournament. “That really set the tone for me because last year at TCNJ I lost my first match,” he said. “Taking second at that tournament gave me a boost at the beginning of the season that made me want to keep going and win a tournament, like Collingswood.” Gill feels that Ermi’s new way of doing things did not made him a completely different wrestler, but it led to improved results. Matches that may have been losses last year became wins this season. What would have been a 3-pont decision last year may have led to bonus points via major decisions, technical falls or pins. “Last year you couldn’t say the same thing,” Gill said. “He opened up and expanded leads instead of just being satisfied with the lead. It’s how large he can make the margin.” Coming up through the ranks, Ermi was aided by the leadership of previous standout wrestlers like Billy Moore and JaJuan “Tiki” Hayes, who finished 8th in the state last year. “They taught me how to keep my

head in my matches and keep my mind sharp right before matches and after,” Ermi said. “If I lose, come back out, cheer for my teammates. If I win, get up, cheer for my teammates. My freshman and sophomore years I let my losses get the better of me.” He also let his nerves get the better of him prior to competition. “I used to get all tense before my matches and I’d go out and wrestle all nervous at first,” he said. “If I got the first takedown it would help, if I got taken down it would put me in a kind of bad mindset. This year I took a different approach. I put my earplugs on before matches, went out, listened to music. I just chill out and then I go out and wrestle a tough six minutes.” Ermi, who credited his parents, Chris and Jen, for being there every step of the way when it came to his working on wrestling, is hoping to continue the sport in college and has looked into Muhlenberg and York. It’s a tribute to how far he came after entering Bordentown as an unpolished gem. “He was raw as a freshman,” Gill said. “The toughness was there but I would say the wrestling IQ wasn’t. When you’re wrestling IQ meets your toughness and you can elevate both at the same time, that’s what you’re seeing now. That toughness is there, and now he understands positions better, he understands angles a little better.” Most importantly, Ermi understands that whatever situation he is in, he has a way to battle out of it.

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

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

NEW LASER PAIN TREATMENTS The FX 635 Laser by Erchonia provides patients experiencing musculoskeletal pain with a new treatment option. This noninvasibe, pain free, effective solution targets apinful areas and improves quality of life without surgery. The FX 635 is the ONLY FDA Market Cleared Laser to provide relief for chronic low back pain, neck pain, and plantar fasciitis, as well as multiple other musculoskeletal complaints. The healing powers of this low-level laser technology can return you to an active life once again, without pain or the harmful long-term effects of pain medication.

Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton: Best in the U.S. for the 8th time

Achieving a Leapfrog A for the 8th time underscores Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton’s commitment as a High Reliability Organization.

DOUG KIOVSKY THE BEND IN THE RIVER

The year of 1682 painted a broader stroke on the canvas of colonial America than marking the humble beginnings of Bordentown. It was the year that William Penn, a member of the Society of Friends (commonly known as Quakers), sailed from England across the ocean to a new horizon where religious beliefs could be practiced without fear of reprisal. Traveling up the Delaware Bay and river to join other Quakers in getting acclimated to their new surroundings, Penn stepped ashore on land that was owed to his father by King Charles II in settling a debt. Suddenly, he was the proprietor of 45,000 square miles of unchartered terrain. As the world’s largest land owner at the time, he was too preoccupied to fully appreciate nature’s subtle beauty. He named this vast tract of wilderness, “Sylvania,” meaning Woodland. But with the high regard as a nobleman, he took it upon himself to honor the legacy of his family by choosing a more appropriate name that we know: “Pennsylvania,” meaning Penn’s Woods. Impressive as it sounds, this was a minor accomplishment in comparison to planning our country’s first metropolis: Philadelphia. Derived from the Greek words Philos (Love) and Adelphos (Brother), the formal translation was a bit more extensive than it is today: “The City of Brotherly Love…and Sisterly Affection.” Envisioning a mecca for trade and religious freedom based on the universal principle of love, over a period of time, Penn mapped out a two-mile wide rectangular grid perfectly spaced with roadways, lawns, gardens, and waterways. He believed that by creating the infrastructure of a “greene country towne” with more open space and wider streets (100’) would prevent the risk of fire like the devastation that he had seen in his native London. Whether communities grew as cities or remained as towns, the formation of government relied on the democratic

standards of law. William Penn and his followers understood this and it’s those ideals that served as inspiration for the framing of the US Constitution almost a century later. In fact, Penn was one of the earliest advocates that expressed that the American colonies should be unified as a country. He considered the entire human family bound as one harmonious entity. Across the banks of the Delaware River, the wild terrain of New Jersey was divided into two provinces: East Jersey and West Jersey. East Jersey was under the control of Sir George Carteret whereas West Jersey was molded into William Penn’s Holy Experiment as a sanctuary for Quakers. In the beginning, government officials were straddled with arduous tasks involving abundant claims of land ownership, but gradually that changed with the creation of specific land councils. With these matters cast aside, leaders would delve into drafting one of the first documents in the colonies that embodied the separation of Church and State. Known as Concessions and Agreements, it also granted the right to vote for women and freed blacks, with the caveat that their financial statements equated to least 50 pounds sterling of English currency. From 1674 until 1702, a great line existed between Carteret’s land and Quaker territory. Its backbone served as the northeastern border of Burlington County, which was formed in 1694. As with William Penn’s prediction for the colonies, and the embracement of mankind, the English Crown pressured the provincial governments to bring New Jersey together as a single colony. Life remained hard among settlers of different faiths and cultures but freedom, as the common bond, endured. So how does the genius of William Penn, the Society of Friends, the roots of Philadelphia and the thirst for freedom, unite with the theme of Bordentown’s inception? Two words: Joseph Borden. Doug Kiovsky is the co-president of the Bordentown Historical Society.

Through the concerted effort of Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton’s physicians, nurses, staff, volunteers and leadership, patients and families benefit from the highest level of quality care and the safest possible hospital experience.
