COPING WITH COVID-19 We’re here for you

BILL SANSERVINO FROM THE EDITOR

A lot has changed since the last time you received the Ewing Observer in your mailbox. COVID-19 has altered all of our lives, and I believe there are aspects that will never return to the way they were before. Fortunately there’s one thing that hasn’t changed—we at the Observer are still committed to providing accurate, timely news to our community. With our coronavirus coverage, our goal is not to alarm you, but to give you the information you need in order to stay safe, informed and connected. We want to keep things in context in order to help you make decisions, and highlight the things going on in our community—good and bad—that might affect you during this health crisis. These are certainly strange times, but we’re making the best of them. Several days ago, the governor issued his stay-at-home order, and it seems that for the foreseeable future, we will be doing our best to report the news from our home offices. There’s a lot more on our website, communitynews.org, than we could fit into this issue. Our editorial staff has been working around the clock to produce dozens of articles, approaching life in this area from every angle imaginable. Check out the website for up-to-theminute news and community-focused See LETTER, Page 3

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? These symptoms may appear two to 14 days after exposure to COVID-19: If emergency warning signs develop, get medical attention immediately

Fever

Cough

Shortness of breath

· Diﬀiculty breathing · Persistent pain or pressure in the chest · New confusion or inability to arouse · Bluish lips or face

HOW DOES IT SPREAD? The COVID-19 virus is mainly spread person-to-person by being in close contact with someone (within 6 ft.) or through respiratory droplets from an infected person sneezing or coughing. Another way COVID-19 can spread is by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching the mouth, nose or eyes. HOW CAN I REDUCE MY RISK?

Wash hands ofte n

Stay home

Limit personal contact (6 ft.)

Stay away from sick people

Clean & disinfect frequently touched surfaces

Don’t touch eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands

Practice social distancing

Emergency medical corps seeks volunteers By MicHele AlPerin

Mercer County needs you. Faced with a growing number of COVID-19 cases, the county has put out a call for volunteers to join the Mercer County Medical Reserve Corps, a group that has been created to assist during times of crisis. In the wake of September 11, the U.S. Office of the Surgeon General, established the MRC as a demonstration project, whose role is to identify, train and track volunteers who can strengthen local public health and serve if another human-made or natural disaster occurred. MRC volunteer and East Wind-

sor resident Al Grupper explains the government’s motivation: “When the World Trade Center fell, they had volunteers show up, but there was no management or structure. MRC has a chain of command and a mission.” “We don’t self-mobilize; we are called out for an emergency,” Grupper says. “If Stephanie [Mendelsohn, public health nurse and coordinator of the MRC] says ‘Come,’ we have to make sure our family is safe first, then we can go.” Mendelsohn, a Pennington resident, has been running from meeting to meeting and teleconference to teleconference, as the coronavirus continues to spread in the county.

HEADLINES B I - M O N T H LY N E WS F R O M

She says the MRC has already surveyed its volunteers to see if they would be available to staff a county hotline (to help handle the multitude of calls arriving at each municipality’s health department) and to do phone surveillance to check whether people who had been in contact with individuals with COVID-19 have any fever. “This is just the beginning stages; we want as many volunteers as we can get,” Mendelsohn says. “We have 359 volunteers, but with something like this coronavirus, not everyone is going to come, because they are worried or have someone at home who is sick or are a doctor or nurse working overtime.” See VOLUNTEERS, Page 8

LETTER cont. from Page 1 features. If you like your news delivered directly to you, then you might be interested in our daily newsletter, which is sent to your email inbox each day. You can subscribe by going to communitynews.org, and signing up in the box in the right column. Many of the items you see in this newspaper—such as our story on Page 1 about the Mercer County Medical Reserve Corps—are the result of community members letting us know what they’re seeing and doing as COVID-19 makes its presence felt in our area. We’ve always enjoyed having this kind of relationship with our readers, but we need your help more than ever. Tell us your questions. Let us know what you’re seeing and what we should investigate. If we’re missing something, tell us. Send us your news tips to news@communitynews.org, or reach out to me using any of the contact information at the end of this column. I’m still picking up my phone and answering my email. As for this month’s print edition, we’ve made some changes that were necessary due to the current situation. We held the “Betting on Black” and “Ewing Then and Now” columns, and we are not running the calendar—mainly because almost all events in the region have been postponed or cancelled.

Since our office closed on March 16, the whole world seems to have been altered. Schools and office buildings sit empty, and there are no cars on our normally traffic-clogged roads. But it’s our local businesses who stand to suffer the most from the fallout of this virus. For many, revenues stopped suddenly and without warning. While Amazon, Walmart and other online retailers are raking in cash as a result of the current situation, I fear for the mom-and-pop shops that are the true lifeblood of our communities. I would urge our readers to do whatever they can to help these businesses out, both now and when this crisis is over. One suggestion I’ve heard is for people to buy gift cards now and use them when things return to normal. And when things are finally less strange (hopefully soon), let’s all do our best to buy locally. Instead of ordering from Amazon, drive to an area brick-and-mortar store and buy from them. If we all make an effort, hopefully we can undo some of the damage that’s currently being done. Meanwhile, everyone please stay strong, stay safe and stay inside!

How to stay safe and be smart CDC, Department of Health offer tips and best practices By Nicole Viviano

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has come with an abundance of information since the pandemic has taken hold in New Jersey. The respiratory illness has prompted social distancing protocols in the state, cancellations of large gatherings and events and has made schools and colleges move all learning to remote access. Ewing township closed the municipal building through at least the end of March and has also cancelled all meetings of boards an committees. The school district closed schools through March 27 and implemented remote learning plans. The district was set to evaluate whether to extend the closure by March 27. While many sources have published helpful and necessary information, it may feel like overload. Information from the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, New Jersey Department of Health and Mercer County government has been consolidated for ease of access. It is important to note that new information regarding COVID-19 is being

shared frequently and rapidly by these organizations. Paying attention to updated information is crucial. Below are general questions answered so that residents can keep healthy and stay informed: What are the common symptoms of COVID-19? Those who have reported illness have ranged from mild symptoms, like a common cold, to severe illness even and death. Fever, cough and shortness of breath may appear two to 14 days after exposure to COVID-19. Populations at higher risk include older adults and people who have severe underlying chronic medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes. According to the CDC, they seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19. People at higher risk for serious illness from COVID-19 should contact their healthcare provider early, even if their illness is mild. If emergency warning signs develop, get medical attention immediately. These signs include difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, persistent pain or pressure in the chest, new confusion and bluish lips or face. It is important to note that this list provided by the CDC is not all inclusive. Consult a healthcare provider for See CORONAVIRUS, Page 6

CORONAVIRUS cont. from Page 5 any other symptoms that are severe or concerning. How long do symptoms take to appear? According to the CDC, COVID-19 symptoms may appear two to 14 days after exposure. This estimate is based on what has been seen previously as the incubation period of MERS-CoV viruses, another viral respiratory illness. What should I do if I develop symptoms of COVID-19? Call a healthcare provider for medical advice before going to a medical facility. There are also steps you can take to protect others if symptoms are present. Stay home. People who are mildly ill with COVID-19 are able to recover at home. Do not leave, except to get medical care. Do not visit public areas. Stay in touch with a doctor. Call before getting medical care. Calling the doctor’s office or emergency department will alert them that there is a possible case of COVID-19. This will help the office protect themselves and other patients, as well as allow you to describe symptoms and receive instructions on what to do next. Seek medical care right away if illness is worsening. Be sure to get care if symptoms worsen or if there is an emergency. Avoid using public transportation, including ridesharing and taxis. Wear a facemask if sick or if caring for someone who is sick. Cover coughs and sneezes. Clean hands often with soap and water. Be sure to scrub with soap for at least 20 seconds, which is how long it takes for the soap to break down the virus’s fatty envelope. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Avoid sharing personal household items if sick or someone in the home is sick. Clean and disinfect all “high-touch” surfaces daily. These include phones, remote controls, counters, tabletops, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures, toilets, keyboards, tablets and bedside tables. Clean and disinfect areas that may have blood, stool or body fluids on them. Most EPA-registered household disinfectants should be effective. Wear a facemask if sick. If possible, put on a facemask when sick before

WHO CAN I CALL WITH QUESTIONS? Call a regular healthcare provider if you have COVID-19 symptoms before going to a medical facility. Call the NJ COVID-19 & Poison Center 24/7 Public Hotline at (800) 962-1253 or (800) 222-1222 for general questions or visit nj.gov/health. The hotline is not to locate testing, to get test results or for medical advice. For general information, testing and basic needs, dial 211 or text your zip code to 898-211. For alerts and updates, text NJCOVID to 898-211. Visit mercercounty.org to access links on updates of positive-test cases by county, compiled CDC information on COVID-19 and Temporary Time & Attendance Provisions for county employees. CONTACT of Mercer County is a nonprofit program that offers a hotline for those in crisis in Mercer County at (609) 737-2000. For information on COVID-19, visit mercercounty.org/covid-19. If you’re feeling anxiety and worry related to the novel coronavirus, call 866-202-4357 for free, confidential support from NJ Mental Health Cares, the state’s behavioral health information and referral service, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week by live trained specialists.

entering a building. If not, try to keep at least six feet away from others. Follow care instructions from healthcare provider and local health department. If in a medical emergency, call 911 and notify the operator of possible COVID-19 illness. If possible, put on a facemask before medical help arrives. How and when should you get tested for COVID-19? Call a healthcare provider and tell them about your symptoms and exposure. They will decide whether a test is needed. There is no treatment for COVID-19, and people who are mildly ill may be able to isolate and care for themselves at home. To avoid overcrowding medical facilities and risking unnecessary medical costs or exposure to COVID-19, it is stressed to first reach out to a healthcare provider before seeking testing.

What is the cost of testing? The cost may vary depending upon which lab runs the test and what health insurance is held. Although tests by a CDC, state or city public health lab are free to patients, these labs are not expected to run the majority of tests. Private or academic labs are not free, meaning an insurer could be billed, consequently billing the patient. If uninsured the bill goes directly to the patient. Vice President Mike Pence announced in March that Medicare and Medicaid would cover the entire cost of the test. Since the tests have been deemed “essential health benefits,” they must be covered by most insurers. Check with the health insurance company before getting tested, including those under a larger employers’

plan, to understand their cost and offerings. How is COVID-19 spread? The COVID-19 virus is mainly spread perso n-to-person by being in close contact with someone (within six feet) or through respiratory droplets from an infected person sneezing or coughing. Another way COVID-19 can spread is by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching the mouth, nose or eyes. Spread of the illness may be possible before showing symptoms. How long is COVID-19 contagious? Medical providers determine whether or not home isolation can be ended using the following criteria: a timesince-illness-onset and time-since-recovery strategy, and a test-based strategy. For the non-test-based strategy, a person who had symptoms of COVID19 and was instructed to stay home can stop isolation after at least 72 hours have passed since recovering. Recovery is defined as no fever without use of fever-reducing medications, improvement of respiratory symptoms and at least seven days since the symptoms first appeared. However, transmission of the illness could still occur. The test-based strategy includes meeting resolution of fever without use of fever-reducing medications, improvement of respiratory symptoms and a negative COVID-19 test result from at least two consecutive specimens that were collected more than or equal to 24 hours apart. Those with lab-confirmed COVID-19 that haven’t had any symptoms can discontinue home isolation after at least seven days since the date of their first positive COVID-19 test, and if there was no later illness. When are cases expected to peak in New Jersey? According to the NJ DOH, the peak number of positive COVID-19 cases depends on many factors including how well mitigation strategies work, such as social distancing. Cases are expected to increase for the next several weeks as testing increases. Currently, the state is assessing its hospitals and preparing them with surge and capacity planning. All hospitals in New Jersey are able to and expected to care for COVID-19 patients.

What are the best practices for avoiding and stopping the spread of COVID-19? One of the best ways to stay protected from COVID-19 is to stay informed through trusted organizations and medical and government officials. Since there is no vaccine to prevent the disease, the best way to prevent COVID-19 is to avoid exposure. Simple daily habits, like washing hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after being in a public place or coughing or sneezing, are also helpful. If soap and water aren’t available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. If sick and around others, such as sharing a room or vehicle, or not sick and caring for someone who is, wear a facemask. What should I avoid? The WHO has addressed some misinformation about the novel coronavirus. Antibiotics do not work against viruses; they only work on bacterial infections. COVID-19 is caused by a virus, so antibiotics do not work. Antibiotics should not be used as a means of prevention or treatment of COVID-19. Smoking or wearing multiple masks are ineffective. How can we reduce stigma surrounding COVID-19? One of the side

effects of the global pandemic has been the social stigma placed on certain people, places and things. Fear and anxiety about the coronavirus have highlighted discrimination in association with the illness. COVID-19 has been associated with a particular population and nationality, despite not everyone in that population or from that region being at risk of the disease. Some groups who may be experiencing stigma include people of Asian descent, people who have traveled, emergency responders or healthcare professionals. Those stigmatized may be subjected to social avoidance or rejection, denials of healthcare, education, housing or employment or physical violence. Stigma can have negative effects on emotional and mental health, in turn producing more stress for those groups. Learning the facts of COVID19 and sharing the proper information can aid in reducing stigma. Who do I contact with questions? Call a regular healthcare provider if you have COVID-19 symptoms before going to a medical facility. Call the NJ COVID-19 & Poison Center 24/7 Public Hotline at (800) 962-1253 or (800) 222-1222 for general questions or visit nj.gov/health. For

general information, dial 211 or text your zip code to 898-211. For alerts and updates, text NJCOVID to 898-211. If you’re feeling anxiety and worry related to the novel coronavirus, New Jerseyans can call 866-202-HELP (4357) for free, confidential support from NJ Mental Health Cares, the state’s behavioral health information and referral service.

Shopping Center Mendelsohn became a public health 37 Scotch Road • Ewing nurse for Mercer County about 13 years captaindryclean.com ago and was asked to be the MRC coordinator after its creation. “MRC is here for public health emergencies like this,” she says, referring to the COVID-19 virus. A specific motivation for MRC’s creation, she says, was fear of another anthrax threat. “If we had to open a POD (point of distribution) to be able to hand out prophylactic medications to the general public, we would need hundreds and hundreds of volunteers,” Mendelsohn says.

ings of two to three hours each, and on March 17 did one on the coronavirus. Volunteers also have the chance to participate in emergency preparedness exercises and or teach in their areas of expertise. Grupper came to MRC via a friend who brought him to a shelter management class offered jointly at the Dempster Fire Training Center by MRC and the American Red Cross. The class taught him how to manage an emergency shelter for people who are not able to stay in their homes. He decided to go ahead and join the MRC because he had lots of administrative experience, some of it in a medical setting. During Hurricane Sandy, Grupper had a chance to use some of the skills he had developed by running a comfort station on a shift in Western Mercer County and also helping at Trenton’s Sovereign Bank Arena when people from Atlantic City were sheltered there before being moved to Rutgers University. “It was chaos,” he recalls. “A whole bunch of people that didn’t want to be there. We were separating them and trying to keep them calm until we knew what was the next step.” “I look at us not as first responders, but as one-and-a-half responders. In case of a disaster or an emergency, the first responders are going to be overloaded; in many places we are there to back them up. I look at us as a staff multiplier,” Grupper says. Grupper’s focus at MRC today is on personal and family preparations for a disaster or emergency, for example, what provisions you would need to shelter in place for two weeks or more. “I am prepared to teach a class in the larger community if required,” he says. For Andrea Webb, a registered nurse from East Windsor, her introduction to MRC came via a piece of mail whose envelope sported the words, “Do you want to be a local hero?” After reading inside about the MRC, she realized this was something she had always wanted to do. “I’ve always wanted to volunteer as a registered nurse, put things in order, pitch in in an emergency, but unless you belong to an organization, you can’t just go to the site of an emergency and pitch in. I really felt as though I needed to give back to the community, and this

was a perfect match,” Webb says. “Everybody is there for the same thing—they want to volunteer and give of themselves, and different people have different niches they love,” Webb says. Dog lovers might volunteer at a rabies clinic, and long-term volunteers might lead trainings because they enjoy interacting with other volunteers. Webb and her husband, who is legally blind and not a medical professional, became volunteers two years ago. They’ve done a lot of training, and in an emergency she expects that her husband might answer phones at a telephone bank, whereas she might be assigned to take vital signs and blood pressure, administer medications, and talk to people in crisis. Mendelsohn is a native of Union, where her mother was a beautician and her father, an immigrant from Ukraine, was a cabinetmaker. A first generation college student, Mendelsohn remembers wanting to be a nurse since she was a little girl, because she always liked helping people. After moving to Pennington in 1995, her first job was at the Hopewell Township Health Department, and in 2005 she moved to the Mercer County Division of Public Health. She says she loves being a public health nurse, going out in the community and trying to educate people to prevent diseases like hypertension and diabetes and to break the cycle of communicable diseases like coronaviruses. Grupper grew up in Schenectady, New York, where his father was a retail

merchant with his own business, and his mother an administrator in public welfare. He moved to East Windsor from Fort Monmouth in 1966 to work for RCA. Webb moved around quite a bit as a youngster because her father was in the military. Born in Wiltshire, England, she also lived in Hawaii, Kentucky, Ohio, and New York, but has been in New Jersey since the late 1970s. Webb worked for Mobil Oil for 17 years in mid-management, selling fuel for ships and airlines; for an insurance company; in a hospital intensive care unit; in the Vroom Building, a maximum security psychiatric hospital in Trenton; and as an administrator for an assisted living in Tinton Falls and a medical daycare in Princeton. Looking to the current health crisis around the coronavirus, Webb says, “People are in a panic right now. Things are happening all over the place, and information and instructions are changing from minute to minute. A catastrophe like this is one of the reasons I joined the MRC, so I could go out into the community and still protect myself.” Volunteering for the Mercer MRC, she says, is not only a wonderful opportunity to do things for the common good, but it also helps the underserved populations by teaching them how to avoid communicable diseases.” That’s why she’s trying to recruit other people, including certified nursing assistants. “We need every pair of hands we can get,” Webb said.

Steinmann talks about the state of Ewing in 2020 Interview by Bill Sanservino

These days Ewing Mayor Bert Steinmann has his hands full monitoring the situation with the coronavirus as it impacts the township. Despite the mandatory shutdown of schools and non-essential companies, the business of running the government continues. Ewing Observer editor Bill Sanservino sat down with Steinmann in late February to talk about the issues confronting Ewing not only in 2020, but in the coming years. The issues discussed are still relevant, although the timing of some may be affected. The first half of that interview is printed below, with the second half coming in next month’s paper. *** Ewing Observer: Can you give an update on the development and construction going on in town? Let’s start with the former General Motors site where they are building the Ewing Town Center. Bert Steinmann: The progress at the GM site is actually going very well. They’ve been in now to pick up building permits for the project’s clubhouse. They started to build the apartment units. They have expedited the retail space, because of the demand that they’ve been receiving for it. So that that’s due

BS: I don’t think they’ve gotten to for the planning board soon, and they are going to start building soon after that point yet, although they’re startthat. Probably early fall. They are moving to advertise. I don’t see anything ing forward aggressively and they’re renting there probably until the end of this year—maybe the early part of next starting the road system now. I envision the way things have been year— but definitely the buildings will going that their seven-year plan to be done.There’s a lot of demand for this have a full buildout will probably be type of residential housing (rentals).

we can to get that accomplished. I think that’s going to really complete the puzzle with the Town Center, because then there’s a good reason why you want to walk the area. So yeah, we’re very enthused about it. EO: What about the idea of moving the West Trenton train station to the GM site. Do you still see that as a possibility? BS: I do. We continue to talk with SEPTA and with New Jersey Transit, for that matter. Certainly we have to address the parking situation at the current station, even if the train station doesn’t move. It’s horrendous, and I think the town kind of loses a lot of revenue because of the parking. If we don’t move the train station, or they don’t think it’s a viable option, we are looking to create a parking lot. Not a structure per se, but a lot. It’ll be metered parking so that the town does get revenue, but it’ll also be a much better experience for people to take the train down to Philadelphia. That station is very heavily used. The ridership there is really high. You can tell when you drive by there. I don’t know exactly the number count, but it’s in the hundreds that leave there in the morning. EO: How about the Naval Air Warfare property? I know there was talk at one point about a big box retailer going in there, but that

really didn’t come together. Have you been approached by anybody else? Do you have any thoughts about what’s going to happen there? BS: Well, we’ve been in conversation with the owner. Some other individuals are interested in that particular site, but it’s turned from a big-box-store-type scenario, because of what’s happened with the Amazons and online shopping. People are kind of backing away from building that type of retail and looking at a warehousing-type situation. We’re looking at it, and on the surface we don’t have an objection to it, except that the design of the structure—whatever it’s going to be—has to meet our criteria. At the end of the day, they’re going to have put some amenities on this particular structure so that from the road it doesn’t appear to be a warehouse. It’s also going to have to adhere to some kind of schedule. We’re okay with making daily deliveries through town with small box trucks and stuff, but shipments coming in tractor trailers and things like that would have to be done during off-hours. We’ve conveyed that to the developer. There’s a very high demand for warehouse space in this area, so maybe that could be a potential for us. I would still prefer to have some sort of hotel and conference center, or something other than a warehouse. I would even welcome a research and development type project. So we’ll see where that shakes out. We met

with the developers about two weeks ago, and we went through all the different types of scenarios. To be quite candid with you, I’m very disappointed at the lack of progress. We came a long way, and then for whatever reasons Walmart, which was going to be the big box store, pulled back. I don’t know what contributed to the final decision, but I would think that the final end was because of what was happening with Amazon affecting sales at local brick-and-mortar stores. EO: What about the airport? Can you give me an update on what’s going out there? BS: There’s been some changes there. One hangar has been completely remodeled and upgraded. Then there’s another hangar that’s going to be built next to it that used to be the parking lot for the prosecutor’s office. They kept repossessed cars there, and they have since moved out. I don’t know exactly how big the hangar will be, but that’s starting to move forward. On Scotch Road, the county is creating a bigger parking lot for the airport lot as we speak.The rental car stations are going to be at that particular lot, so people can go there, rent a car, or park a car, or whatever they need to do. EO: What else is going on in that area? BS: The other thing I’m really thrilled about is we’ve finally got everything put together for the Sylvia Street extension. We awarded the contract for that at the last council meeting. We’ll be See STEINMANN, Page 12

other than whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the Town Center. We are talking to some individuals to locate businesses here. One will be located at the corner of Olden and Parkway avenues. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell you the name of it right now, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not 100% signed yet. It was an old gas station and Parkway Pizza was there. That whole corner now is under contract. We are talking with the county on some improvements that we have to do there, and we already talked with the shopping center thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next to them for cross easements, and that seems to be going all in the right direction. So we should have some pretty good news about that fairly soon. EO: Would that be a retail business? BS: It will be retail. We did have a conversation with another developer on Olden Avenue for another Wawa. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually approached us. The one here now (on Parkway Avenue) is doing so phenomenal that they were looking for another spot. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see where that goes. EO: Is there anything else on Olden Avenue youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to mention? BS: Olden Avenue itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming along. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as fast as I would like, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new businesses that have opened. They havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed the business per seâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a car dealer is still a car dealer, but the dealership has changed hands, and the new owner is in the process of doing facade changes, like adding some landscaping.

BS: Well, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a warehouse thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being constructed by the airport. In fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the old Sierra Office Park, which actually sits back on Sam Weinroth Road by the (Westin) hotel. Basically itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 200,000-square-foot structure thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be put there. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for the state for archiving. Part of the building will be environmentally controlled for rare documents and stuff that has to be protected. EO: Is that a ratable, since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a state facility? (The state doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to pay property taxes on land it owns.) BS: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a ratable because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lease that the state is doing with the office park. A private individual that owns that. So yes, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100% a ratable for Ewing Township, which is a good thing. EO: How about other housing developments? Anything in the pipeline?

The adopted survivors—Moshe Gimlan, Vera Goodkin, Marion Lewin, Ruth Lubitz, Charles Rojer and Jack Zaifman— were originally from Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland and Belgium. The AAS program pairs a survivor with one or more students. The students embark on a joint journey with the survivor through discussions about life before, during and after the Holocaust. Participating students will be able to represent the survivor and tell the survivor’s story with accuracy and feeling in the years to come. In addition, each student makes a commitment to tell the survivor’s story in a public venue in the year 2045, a hundred years after the liberation Ke’yairofisAuschwitz. a 3rd grade student at Lore School student whoThe wastwelve invited to beadopters a guestareonDave TheAngebranndt, Ellen Show Tyler Barnes, Annie Cook, Liz Dunham, Everett, to celebrate his involvement withEmily Fighting all Curtis Fornarotto, Vildana Hajric, Devon Jones, Jen Meade, Billy O’Callaghan, Nikyta Sharma and Melysa Wilson. continued on page A2

shared many examples of the authentic, hands-on learning activities taking place in the Antheil technology classroom that helped the school earn the award. Ms. Papadopoulos traveled to Baltimore to receive the award in early March. “We have taken many steps, both from an infrastructure and instructional perspective, to enhance and improve our instructional technology programs in all our schools,” Assistant Superintendent Danita Ishibashi stated. “This award is yet another testimonial that our efforts to provide our students a first-class, future ready learning experience is truly paying off.”

The Ewing Public Schools Ewing Staff Caring About Your Community! The Ewing Schools’ district theme for the 1920 school year is “Caring about our Community!” Throughout this year, “Good News” staff has focused on the many different ways that our schools, students and programs have done positive things for the community. It is important to note that our staff members, who devote so much of their lives to the children they serve; also look for ways in their own time and lives to serve the better good. Let’s take a quick look at some examples from around the district! Over at EHS, the staff of the SLC program volunteered at the Mercer County Night to Shine event. This prom-gala event that celebrates individuals with disabilities is sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation. Danielle Hickey, Barbara Dennis-Garcia, John Nally, and Caitlyn Sweeney eagerly volunteered with excitement. The Knitting/Crochet Club at EHS "Yarnworks Club" has donated over 75 pieces of handmade items for the Capital Heath Newborn Nursery and Catholic Charities for clients during the winter season. Over at FMS and Parkway, Craig and Lynn Johnson, both physical education teachers in the district, have been joining family and friends and walking in a heart walk for the past 10 years that raises money for the American Heart Asso-

ciation. The Johnson family started doing the heart walk in memory of their son, Brett, who they lost in 2006 to a heart defect a few days after birth. During the summer Shawn Volz, an FMS 7th grade Math teacher, tutors adult students for their high school equivalency exam at the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen. Jesse Ambriz, an FMS 7th grade Resource/Inclusion Math teacher, participates in the Meals on Wheels Program of Ewing that services the community with hot meals delivered to their homes. Barbara Fischer, an 8th grade Math teacher at FMS, volunteers to be a judge in Odyssey of the Mind Competitions and for Christ Centered Church. Over at Antheil, teacher Nina Hartigan and her husband ran in the annual Eagles Autism Challenge on May 18, 2019. It was Nina’s first ever 5K. “As parents of a son with autism, we felt it was a perfect way for us to support the community that works to support our son,” she stated. Lore Elementary School Dean of Students and Kappa Delta Sister Kerry Young participates with the sisters of the Zeta Theta Chapter of Kappa Delta Sorority at The College of New Jersey for their annual Shamrock Food Truck Festival usually held in March. As the chair of the sorority’s Chapter Advisory Board and the President of the Central New Jersey Alumnae Chapter of Kappa Delta Sorority, Ms. Young works to raise money for Prevent Child

Abuse America. “The money raised will help strengthen families and improve the lives of children,” Ms. Young remarked. Also over at Lore, teacher Diana Mocarski and her daughter Maddie threw a birthday party for a classmate and friend who was struck by a car and was in the hospital. Maddie Mocarski donated her birthday money for help with the expense of the party and to off-set the cost of the wheelchair for her friend Olivia Adelman. The party was featured on 6abc! Lastly, Michele Garrison who works in the EDP office at the Gusz Building is the Trenton Elks #105 Special Children's Committee Chairperson. This committee holds several ‘fun’ events for special needs children and their families and raises funds to send special needs children to the New Jersey ELKS Camp Moore. Last year, Michele introduced the Ewing POAC walk to the lodge and the Trenton Elks #105 became a sponsor of the event and entered a team of Elks committee members to help raise money for the POAC walk. “The good work of our teachers and staff members goes above and beyond the classroom,” Superintendent Mike Nitti stated. “We are blessed and fortunate to have talented educators who truly live our credo of caring about the community.”

Ewing Schools Earn High Marks in State Audit The Ewing Township School District recently underwent a comprehensive audit conducted by the state Department of Education. The New Jersey Quality Single Accountability Continuum (NJQSAC) review involves a team of state monitors evaluating the district in five key areas: Instruction and Program, Fiscal Management, Governance, Operations and Personnel. The process involves school and site visits and an analysis of efficacy in standards classified as

District Performance Reviews. These standards measure all aspects of school district management, ranging from the instruction taking place in the classroom to the functioning of the business and Human Resources offices. A QSAC steering committee made up of administrators and teachers from around the district led the Ewing Schools’ preparation and presentations for this audit. Anthony Messina served as the Board of Education member representative during this process. “I am pleased to inform you that your district has satisfied at least 80% of the weighted indi-

cators in each of the five areas of the NJQSAC review process and has been designated as “high performing,” DOE Acting Director Paula Bloom wrote. “Congratulations on this accomplishment.” “I would like to thank the members of the steering committee for all their work and efforts with regard to preparing for this rigorous audit,” Superintendent Michael Nitti stated. “The QSAC process confirmed what we knew, that we have skilled and hard-working professionals throughout our district who are dedicated to providing our students the opportunity to achieve in a positive and well-run educational environment.”

The Ewing Public Schools Senior Spotlight: Meet Dorsen Joseph What do you want people to know about Ewing High School that they might not know? Ewing High School has some great opportunities, though you do have to take advantage of the opportunity within the lifetime of the opportunity, because if you don’t, it’s your loss. Who is your favorite teacher why? My favorite teachers are Mrs. Bailey, Mrs. Hammer, Mr. Hammer, and Mr. Halpern. The reason I liked these teachers is because they helped shape my mind not just as a student but as a person. When I wanted to further my knowledge or get a better understanding of something that didn’t really have to do with their class, they were happy to take the time to provide an explanation. In which activities do you participate in school? In school I participated in Track and Field, Wrestling, and the Black Student Alliance (BSA) club. I am part of the cast of the Ewing High School musical, “Seussical!” and unfortunately at the time of this interview, “Seussical!” is postponed. What activities do you participate in outside of school? Outside of school I go to the gym and recently I was chosen to be an official member of the Gentlemen's club. Our sources tell us you juggled being a member of the EHS Wrestling team and part of the ensemble for the EHS musical, "Seussical!" How did you successfully balance your

academic workload and both extracurricular activities? Honestly, I don’t even really know, I just know that I felt busy almost 24/7. We also understand your Senior Experience is in the EHS Guidance office, what have you learned about the experience? I’ve learned that guidance counselors can be a little bit underappreciated for all the work that they do for us. What accomplishments are you most proud of? Honestly I’m just proud of myself for being able to accomplish things in general. When you are able to do something that you set your mind to, it fills you with a sense of joy, and to get acknowledged for that just feels even better. How do you define success? I ultimately define success as being happy with how your life is. What are your plans after you graduate? After high school I plan to go to college study engineering and complete a few projects that I have in the works. What is your favorite quote or book? My two favorite quotes are “Before creation, comes destruction” and “Work hard in life, rest in death”. Looking back to when you started high school what advice would you give FMS students like your sisters who will be coming to EHS in the near future? I’d tell them to just work hard, don't stress too much if something happens and to relax, once they get the chance. If you had the opportunity to do one thing over again during your high school career what would it be and why? I wouldn’t really do anything too different because then I wouldn’t be the person I am today.

FMS Recognition Assembly Fisher Middle School held its 2nd marking period Recognition Assembly. 325 students were recognized for their outstanding achievements in academics. 464 students were recognized as Good Citizens who positively contributes to our school climate. Our guest speaker, Mr. Daryian Kelton (FMS class of 2008) shared his sentiments regarding setting goals and working hard towards achieving them. His candid conversation encouraged our students to remain focused, select their peer groups wisely and get involved in extracurricular activities. Mr. Kelton is the epitome of the saying, "When you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life." He has managed to combine his passion for music and teaching with his career at the Old Barracks Museum. Mr. Kelton then shared his musical

gifts with our students by providing a sample of what he does daily. He is currently working with four different bands that travel locally, nationally, and internationally. Additionally he is a musician at his church. Fisher Middle School is most grateful for Mr. Kelton taking time out of his busy schedule to invest wisdom and practical information into the lives of our students.

PES Celebrates “Random Acts of Kindness Week” At Parkway School we strive to not only speak about “being the change,” but work to do things that “cause the change”. Recently the community of Parkway School took on The Great Kindness Challenge and celebrated “Random Acts of Kindness Week”. During this week Parkway School students were given The Great Kindness Checklist as a guide of acts of kindness to complete and each day the students and staff were encouraged to wear certain articles of clothing to reinforce a specific message. Students wore sweats one day to display, “Being a friend is no sweat”. Next students wore sparkles, shiny things and neon to encourage the message, “Let Kindness Shine”. Then the Parkway community wore their shirts backwards to represent, “Hurtful words cannot be taken back”. To end the week we wore school colors to show our overall sentiment, “Be Kind to our School”. Daily announcements were made that bespoke the theme of the day and encouraged the students with examples of how to show kindness to one another (e.g., be a good friend by giving someone a compliment, use kind words when speaking to others, carry out random acts of kindness with no expectation of reward). By the end of the week the overall message that students understood was “Just one act of kindness that you perform, may turn the tide of another person’s life.”

Parkway students received Proclamations from Ewing Township for their Black History Month presentation at the February 25th, 2020 Town Council Meeting.

middle school, but not like this year. “My seventh grade year I didn’t take track that serious,” he said. “In eighth grade, I got a little bit more serious. This year was the hardest I’ve ever worked.” It began to show as his times dropped and he fine-tuned his sprint technique. It came with work he was putting in during practice and after it, and he developed into a valuable member of the team. The winter was a perfect learning environment. There were hard lessons, like when he had a false start and was disqualified in the 55 finals at the Mercer County Championships. “I felt a whole bunch of pressure, because I was a freshman going to finals,” Stafford said. “I anticipated the start and DQ’d. After that, I was less confident a little bit. I was scared to DQ again. After Easterns, I gained it back after I ran a good race.” The county false start was arguably the only time that Stafford ran like an inexperienced freshman. “He was so keyed up,” Soltysik said. “It was his first big meet. He was fired up. He was ready to run his hardest. He was a little too ready.” Stafford took off from there. He found a way to remain calm and run his best as the races got bigger and bigger toward the end of the season. “I was anxious, nervous,” Stafford said of counties. “Now it feels regular and normal. I feel a little more experienced. You relax and think through it and focus and have tunnel vision.” Stafford is focusing on his sprint endurance for the spring season, of it is not cancelled due to the coronavirus. He will have to lengthen his sprint abilities to run the 100 and 200 meters and share a part in the 4x100 relay. He’ll also explore throwing and jumping for a fourth event. He is talking about joining a club for the summer to further work on his speed. “He’s such a little kid and he’s performing so well,” Soltysik said. “He’s finally starting to see how talented he is, but he is definitely so new to it that it’s really neat to see how excited he gets.” The best part for Ewing is that Stafford will be around for another three years. The future is looking good for the Blue Devils as they hope to build off an indoor season that could not have gone better. “I was really happy with how the season went this year,” Soltysik said. “We knew we had a lot of upperclassmen returning so our chances of success were pretty high. We’re always a little weak in certain areas like distance and throws, but we gathered some new people that we weren’t expecting like Mekhi Stafford and Xavier Young. Having those two guys come in and add to the team helped us out a lot. The vibes were great.”

ROTHMAN ORTHOPAEDICS SURGEON SPECIALIZING IN RARE BONE AND SOFT TISSUE CANCERS TO LEAD CAPITAL HEALTH’S SARCOMA AND ORTHOPAEDIC ONCOLOGY PROGRAM The Region’s Only Program for Bone and Soft Tissue Cancers DR. JOHN ABRAHAM, an internationally recognized orthopaedic oncology surgeon, now offers advanced treatment options for rare bone and soft tissue cancers at Capital Health Cancer Center. As part of Capital Health’s ongoing partnership with Rothman Orthopaedic Institute, Dr. Abraham, founder of the Orthopaedic Oncology Service at Rothman Orthopaedics, now offers orthopaedic oncology services at Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell. Dr. Abraham has 15 years of experience in dealing with bone and soft tissue sarcomas and metastatic cancer to the skeleton and has served as chief of Rothman’s Orthopaedic Oncology Service for nearly 10 years. “As we continue to expand our Cancer Center to provide care for a broader range of patients, it is exciting to partner with a specialized surgeon like Dr. Abraham,” said Dr. Cataldo Doria, medical director of Capital Health Cancer Center. “As one of the nation’s leading orthopaedic oncologists, he brings significant experience and extensive training from some of the most prestigious institutions in the country right here to our community so our patients can receive the best possible care closer to home.” Through its partnership with Rothman Orthopaedics, Capital Health now offers advanced surgical services, including limbsparing techniques and bone/joint prostheses for bone sarcoma, complete surgical removal for soft tissue sarcoma and plastic/ reconstructive options, minimally invasive prophylactic fixation (insertion of metal into the affected bone to strengthen it and prevent breaks), joint revision (replacement of joints that have failed as the result of cancer or due to significant bone loss), and fracture repair using metal pins, rods, screws, or plates to hold the damaged bone in place. In addition to his expertise in managing sarcoma, Dr. Abraham deals with metastatic cancer to the bone. Cancer that starts in the breast, prostate, lung, kidney, or other sites can often spread to the bones. This can cause pain at first, but when a tumor gets large enough it can cause debilitating breaks called pathologic fractures

and other complications. Dr. Abraham now provides a range of advanced surgical services for patients in the Mercer/Bucks County region who are living with bone and soft tissue cancer. “Cancers that start in tissue such as bone, cartilage, muscle, nerves, and fat require very specialized care,” said Dr. Abraham. “I’m excited to collaborate with the multidisciplinary team at Capital Health Cancer Center and offer the region’s only Sarcoma Oncology program to treat these rare and potentially devastating tumors.” Dr. Abraham graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University and graduated with high honors from Yale School of Medicine, where he received the prestigious Nicholas Giarman Award for Cancer Research. He then returned to Harvard to complete an orthopaedic surgery residency, where he also completed his orthopaedic oncology fellowship based at Massachusetts General Hospital and Children’s Hospital Boston. Dr. Abraham was then elected to the faculty of the Dana Farber Cancer Center, one of the leading sarcoma centers in the world, where he served as their primary orthopaedic oncologist for five years. During this time, he was also a member of the arthroplasty service at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital of Harvard Medical School in Boston, and developed significant expertise in joint replacement procedures and advanced revision procedures for failed hip and knee replacements. Dr. Abraham has also served as the director of the Jefferson Musculoskeletal Oncology Center at the Kimmel Cancer Center and was an associate professor of Orthopaedic Surgery and Radiation Oncology at Thomas Jefferson University. Dr. Abraham has been named a “Top Doctor” in Philadelphia for 10 years and has been named as a “Best Doctor in America” by Best Doctors. Dr. Abraham sees patients in Blue Bell, PA and Newtown, PA.

CAPITAL HEALTH SELECTED AS SITE FOR STATEWIDE VIOLENCE INTERVENTION PROGRAM One of Nine in New Jersey and the Only Hospital in Mercer and Burlington County Region to Receive Grant Funding As part of a statewide effort to combat violence as a public health crisis in our community, Capital Health has been selected as the only hospital in the Mercer and Burlington County region, and one of nine in New Jersey, to be a host site for the New Jersey Hospital-Based Violence Intervention Program (NJHVIP). The program aims to connect hospitals and medical facilities with existing community organizations that provide victim assistance and work to reduce violence. Governor Phil Murphy, Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal, and former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords announced the grant winners at the Mary Bethune Center in Jersey City, NJ on January 29. “Hospital-based violence intervention programs (HVIPs) are proven to help reduce repeat injury, and reaching victims of violence at the time of crisis is the key to their success,” said Al Maghazehe, president and CEO of Capital Health. “With medical treatment and recovery as a starting point, Capital Health will help victims connect with our community partners who provide the social services, counseling, and education they need to truly heal and break the cycle of violence that has become so prevalent in some neighborhoods.” Capital Health’s Hospital-Based Violence Intervention Program will be managed through its level II Bristol-Myers Squibb Trauma Center at Capital Health Regional Medical Center in Trenton and the Capital Health Institute for Urban Care. Bristol-Myers Squibb Trauma Center at Capital Health Regional Medical Center offers advanced emergency care for severely injured patients involved in motor vehicle crashes, falls, and assaults with knives, guns, or blunt objects. Capital Health Institute for Urban Care works to advance the health and well-being of Trenton residents by growing and aligning Capital Health’s services with those of its local partner

Present at the news conference that announced grant winners were Kim Watson and Dr. Eric Schwartz from the Capital Institute for Urban Care, Marian Moore and Dr. Dominick Eboli from the BristolMyers Squibb Trauma Center at Capital Health Regional Medical Center, Michelle Ruess from the Trenton Health Team, former congresswoman Gabbie Giffords, and New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy.

organizations. Capital Health’s selection as an NJHVIP site marks an important expansion of the Institute’s mission with a holistic approach to the violence crisis. The NJHVIP program is being launched with $20 million in federal funding from the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA), the largest VOCA award ever in the nation for an HVIP. These funds will support all nine NJHVIP sites for a period of 21 months. Capital Health Institute for Urban Care works with a robust network of community partners in the City of Trenton to improve medical care while overcoming the complex social determinants of health. To learn more about the Institute, visit capitalhealth.org/urbancare. The Bristol-Myers Squibb Trauma Center at Capital Health Regional Medical Center is a Level II New Jersey statedesignated Trauma Center. One of only 10 designated trauma centers in New Jersey, it is the regional referral center for severely injured patients in Mercer County and adjacent parts of Somerset, Hunterdon, Burlington, and Middlesex counties as well as nearby areas of Pennsylvania.

COVID-19: What do older adults need to know? DR. SARA ALI ASK THE DOCTOR

Dr. Sara Ali, a geriatrician with Robert Wood Johnson Barnabas Health, gives you the facts about COVID-19, the novel coronavirus: What is coronavirus or COVID-19? Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that we have known about for a long time. There are seven types, with most of them only causing a mild respiratory illness/cold symptoms like sore throat, cough, or congestion. Two of the coronaviruses, SERS and MERS, can cause more serious disease, especially in people who have underlying serious medical conditions. COVID-19 is the name of a new coronavirus, first discovered in December of 2019 in Wuhan, China. We are still learning about this virus. We know that it is contagious. About 80 percent of patients who develop COVID-19 infection will have a mild respiratory illness: cough, sore throat, mild fever. However, about 20% of those infected will have a more severe illness. A smaller number of this 20% can have an infection that can even be fatal. The majority of people who have the more serious infection are older adults, and people who have chronic underlying medical illness like heart and lung disease. People with weaker immune systems are also at higher risk for a more serious infection. What is a pandemic? A pandemic is a global outbreak of a disease. COVID-19 was declared a pandemic on March 12, 2020. What can I do to limit my risk of exposure to COVID-19? Most importantly wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. It’s also OK to use hand sanitizer if there is no soap and water available. Limit large group gatherings. Stay away from events where large groups of people would be: classes, movies, shows, large family events, etc. Limit your visitors at home to single person visits and do not allow visitors that are sick to visit with you. Wipe down high contact areas with sanitizing wipes: things like door handles, countertops, and bathrooms. You do not need to wear a mask if you are not sick yourself. Avoid cruise travel during this time. Avoid airline travel, especially to countries where the risk has been great. If you must travel by airplane, exercise good practices: wash your hands often, use hand sanitizer, and wipe frequently used surfaces with sanitizing wipes (tray tables, arm rests, seat control buttons). I find myself getting very anxious about all that I am reading and seeing on the news about COVID19. How can I cope with my stress

related to this outbreak? Consider lessening the time you spend watching or listening/reading to media coverage that may be upsetting. Look to reliable, trusted sources of information, like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the New Jersey Department of health or your doctor or trusted healthcare professional. Draw on the skills you have used in the past to help you manage challenging emotions: meditation, guided imagery, relaxation techniques, yoga or conversations with people you trust who are calm and reliable, as examples. At home hobbies can also be helpful- like working on a puzzle, or watching movies on television. It is normal to feel stressed, confused and anxious during a crisis. If you feel overwhelmed, contact a healthcare worker or counselor. What is social distancing and how can this help? Social distancing is a term applied to certain actions that are taken by public health officials to slow the spread of a highly contagious disease. History has taught us that contagious diseases spread rapidly when large groups of people are close together. Social distancing can slow the spread of COVID-19 and even prevent some people from being exposed. This is why many public and private colleges are no longer holding face-to-face classes, Broadway is closed, parades have been cancelled and National sport seasons, like basketball and hockey, have been suspended. Should I stay at home? You should stay at home. Do not attend large group events or socialize in settings where many people are gathering. This includes shopping malls, restaurants, and bars. Adjusting to staying at home can feel difficult, but remember the majority of people who will develop serious complications from COVID-19 infections are older adults. It is important to follow these guidelines, even if you are feeling well. Staying home can prevent you from being exposed and slow the spread of COVID-19. Should I keep my routine scheduled follow up appointments at my doctor’s office? At this point, many providers are making alternate arrangements for routine, non-essential visits. Many providers are offering telemedicine options either via phone call or with video technology. Call your provider if you have a routine appointment

scheduled and need one of these other options. What should I do if I think I have symptoms related to COVID-19? If you have a fever, cough and shortness of breath call your healthcare provider. They will ask you a series of questions that will help to determine how best to help you and where you should go to be examined. In almost every circumstance, a call to your healthcare provider is the correct first step. Only in a true medical emergency should you call 911. What should I do if I have an acute medical problem not related to COVID-19 that needs a doctor’s appointment? Again, in almost every circumstance, a call to your healthcare provider is the correct first step. Only in a true medical emergency should you call 911. Can I visit my loved ones who live in nursing homes and assisted living/senior living environments? Many facilities have been updating

Absolutely do not visit loved ones in nursing homes and assisted living/senior living if you are not feeling well yourself.

their visiting policies as COVID-19 cases have increased in the United States. Many health care facilities now have a very limited visitor policy in place, and some have eliminated visits entirely. Check facility websites or call to learn of any visitor changes in the places your loved ones live. If visits are allowed at your particular site, and if the patient you are visiting is otherwise healthy, you can follow these general guidelines: Do not visit in large groups, visit singly if you can. Take precautions to wash your hands when you enter and when you leave. Use sanitizing wipes for high touch areas: doorknobs, chair handles, etc. Consider visiting virtually with smartphone or computer, or regular phone calls if your in-person visit is nonessential. Absolutely do not visit loved ones in nursing homes and assisted living/senior living environments if you are not feeling well yourself. If the person you are visiting is sick and you must visit, your sick loved one should wear a mask. If they are unable to wear a mask, then you should wear one. Healthcare staff caring for your loved one will direct you at the time of your visit as to what you will need. Again, consider visiting virtually with smartphone or computer, or even regular phone calls until the illness resolves.

Archie

Ringo

Archie was found as a stray in Trenton and transferred to our shelter. He is a little nervous being in our shelter, but seems very friendly. We think he is about 3 years old and he is a small dog. Archie is probably part Jack Russel and can be a tenacious dog. He will accept corrections from someone who is assertive, but will take advantage if you are not. he can play with other dogs, and might be best with another dog. He is highly intelligent and trainable

Ringo was locked in an apartment that owners had been evicted from for 3 days. The owners chose to surrender Ringo. He is a very friendly cat who will come right up to you. He gets along well with other cats too. When Ringo first got to the shelter he was nervous and was meowing a lot, but he has adjusted nicely. He was great for his visit with our vet.
