FROM THE EDITOR
This month we return to our regularly scheduled Ewing Observer after running a special “regional” issue last month.
Because of the ongoing health crisis, I had to opportunity to act as the editor of last month’s edition, which included news from towns throughout our area.
While it was interesting to look with an editorial eye at our entire coverage area for April issue, I am happy to be back to focusing on Ewing Township this month. We felt it was important to return to hyperlocal coverage this month so that we can let you know as much as possible about what’s going on in town.
That being said, I wasn’t able to fi t all of the news from the past 30 days in this issue, but you can fi nd a lot more on our website communitynews.org, which we are updating continuously.
We do have plans, however, to continue regional coverage at some level in our papers. Inserted in the center of this issue you will fi nd the fi rst edition of Six09, our new arts, food and culture publication.
Our hope with Six09 is to present interesting and engaging content each month that will allow our readers to take full advantage of this vibrant region— extending south with our area code all the way to Cape May. We have many members of our staff lending their expertise in this area, including Dan Aubrey, arts editor of our sister publication U.S. 1.
Finally, highlighting this month’s issue on Page 10 is our annual feature of the Top 10 academic seniors graduating from Ewing High School.
We asked each student the usual questions about their plans for college and favorite memories from their time at EHS, but also gave them an opportunity to talk about how they’ve been spending their time during lockdown.
They also expressed their feelings about experiencing a senior year like no other in recent history.
For the most part, they seem to have weathered the storm well, despite the fact that they won’t have the chance to go to a senior prom or have a traditional graduation ceremony.
I would like to congratulate them and the rest of the Class of 2020 and wish them the best as they move forward into an uncertain future. Contact BILL SANSERVINO: bill@communitynews.org, (609) 396-1511, ext. 104, facebook.com/BillSanservino.
