Girl Scout is picture perfect Resident’s photo to appear on cookie boxes By Michele Alperin Little did long-time Robbinsville resident Samantha DeMartino know when she joined Girl Scout Troop 71140 as a cadette in fi fth grade that a decade later, she would be one of the “faces” of the organization’s most iconic products. This year, as a senior in high school, her photo is on every single Girl Scout cookie box. Two years ago, she received an email from the Girl Scouts asking her to send headshots to
the person in charge of media and to complete an application. “They did not tell us what the photos were for, so I assumed that it was for camp pamphlets or other program advertising,” she wrote in an email. A couple days later, DeMartino got another email inviting her to take photos at Camp Rickabear, a Girl Scout camp in northern New Jersey. Photographers were taking shots of many sets of girls, and about a year later, she got the news that her photo had been selected to be on the cookie box. In the photo she is standing in the center, with two younger girls on either side. “Our hands are in the center,” she said. “It is supposed
to symbolize the trefoil logo to symbolize mentorship—how an older girl can teach younger girls and younger girls can teach older girls.” At the unveiling ceremony at the council office in East Brunswick in August 2019, her mother, uncle, and grandmother looked on. In front of her was a package with a variety of stickers on it, and the Girl Scout staff surprised her by announcing they would film her as she opened the box and explained what she saw, thereby creating “an unboxing video.” Inside the box was confetti and a note from the CEO of Girl Scouts. Finally she reached the See SCOUT, Page 10
Helping out from head to toe Robbinsville boy aims to donate 25,000 pairs of shoes By Lois LeVine

Log on to the Soles4Souls 25K Shoe Drive page on Facebook, and you’ll find a picture of a smiling seventh grader—surrounded by more shoes that one could fit into a seriously shoecrazy fashionista’s closet. Sneakers, penny loafers, flip-flops, boots: What’s this all about? It all began when Zachary Miller, now 12 years old and a seventh grader at Pond Road Middle School, was 10. As his mom, Wendy Miller, said, “My other son [Jared, who is now 16] was doing his bar mitzvah project at the time, collecting tennis equip-
ment for kids in need. We have always donated clothes and shoes to Soles4Souls and after looking at the website one day, I showed the kids the videos from the site.” Zach remembers the videos well. “There were kids on streets with no shoes, no socks, walking on dirt and debris. It made me really sad. Even though it was three years away, I decided that was going to be my bar mitzvah project.” Wendy remembers how passionate he was at the time, and said, “I had to remind him, laughing, ‘Can’t we get through Jared’s Bar Mitzvah first? Yours isn’t for another three years.’” Fast forward to January 2019. Zach was ready to dive into his Soles4Souls—a nonprofit organization based in Tennessee that provides, among other
things, clothing and shoes around the world to those in need—initiative, so the first thing the family did was to meet with Lizzy Ann Swiderski, the regional donation manager for Soles4Souls in New Jersey, who they had first spoken to in October 2018. In April 2019, Soles4Souls put out a press release about Zachary’s project. As a result, Robbinsville Councilman Dan Schuberth reached out to the family to offer his support, helping them enormously with businesses they could reach out to. “He helped a lot too, with publicizing the event, and Zach also got to meet [councilpeople] Ron Witt and Chris Ciaccio,” Wendy said. Their first big event was a pop-up shoe drive at the Robbinsville Police Department in See SHOES, Page 9

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.

About the Advance’s new look SAM SCIARROTTA FROM THE EDITOR
To our readers: You might have noticed this issue of the Robbinsville Advance looks a bit different. More than a decade had passed since we last freshened up, and we felt the time had come to try something new. We spent nearly seven months perfecting our new look—and while it’s a work in progress—I wanted to take some time to fill you in on the changes and how, I hope, they make your time with us more enjoyable, more informative and more transparent. First, be assured that our commitment to telling the story of Robbinsville Township, of our shared experience in this town, hasn’t changed. In fact, a lot of thought went into devising some new features to help foster an atmosphere of community. Our communities have long been our greatest asset, and we want to answer the questions you want answered and tell the stories you want told. Since we live here, too, likely they are answers and stories we want, too. On Page 4, you’ll see our revamped masthead. Traditionally, a masthead is a list of people who worked hard to bring this newspaper to you. But we want you to know who we are, what we’re doing and how to find us. So, the new masthead
kicks off with the Robbinsville Advance’s mission statement. This is our guiding principle and informs what we cover— and how. We also have included our mailing address, phone number, email addresses, website URL and social media accounts, so you can connect with us no matter which mode of communication you prefer. Taking this one step further, I’ve included all my contact information at the end of this letter. The same box will appear at the end of any article produced by a full-time member of our staff. To put faces with names, we have placed photos of our regular columnists at the start of their columns. We’ve also moved our commentary section to the very back of the newspaper, giving our columnists a more prominent space. To accommodate the relocation of the columns, we have moved forward the Puzzle Pages, classified and At Your Service ads. We also have introduced new fonts for our headlines and other items in our newspaper, which provides a cleaner, easy-to-read experience. I hope this redesign can help kick off an even closer relationship with our readers. So, reach out! After all, now you have my number.

Uber to ramp up security Uber will start offering its customers four-digit PIN codes in order to ensure they are getting into the right vehicle. The development follows the death of 21-yearold Samantha “Sami” Josephson, a Robbinsville woman who was murdered in March 2019 after getting into the car of a man impersonating an Uber driver. Josephson was attending college in South Carolina and got into a car that she thought was her Uber. But the Chevy Impala belonged to a local man who was not a registered Uber driver. The ride-hailing company rolled out the new feature across the United States and Canada last month and said all riders in those two countries will be able to use PIN codes by the end of the week. Since Josephson’s death, her parents, Seymour and Marci Josephson, have been at the forefront of making sure ride-sharing is safer. Both Uber and Lyft have implemented 14 safety measures over the last 11 months.
Burglaries reported last month
Several motor vehicle burglaries in the areas of Cottage Place Drive and in the Washington Greene development were reported to the Robbinsville Township Police Department last month. The burglaries occurred to unlocked vehicles in the early morning hours. The police department is in the process of investigating the crimes. Residents are reminded to lock their vehicles and to remove any personal belongings. Residents can also sign up for the CAPTURE or RING programs. For more information or to contact a
member of the RPD Criminal Investigations Unit, call (609) 259-3900.
County accepting TrashedArt submissions
County residents are invited to participate in the Mercer County Library System’s annual TrashedArt contest. The event celebrates Earth Day by encouraging patrons to turn trash into art. Submissions will be accepted from Wednesday, March 18 to Wednesday, March 25. Selected works will be on display throughout the month of April. Students in grades 7 to 12 and adults are eligible to participate. Entries must be original artwork, no larger than 3 ft. x 3 ft. x 3 ft. and no heavier than 25 lbs. Any art medium is acceptable. A minimum of 75 percent recycled content must be used in each piece. The criteria for recycled materials is anything that has been manufactured and would have otherwise been thrown away. Examples of recycled content include metals, paper, rubber, glass (no sharp shards), plastic and cloth. Nonrecyclable materials such as glue, paint and tape are permitted. For the purpose of this contest, natural materials such as rocks, dirt, bones and sticks are not considered recycled. Entry forms are available at the Lawrence branch reference desk, as well as online at mcl.org. Winners will be notified by phone or email. Prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place in both adult and student categories. The contest is limited to one entry per artist.

Robbinsville resident Zach Miller has set out to donate 25,000 pairs of shoes to Soles4Souls by June 6, the day of his bar mitzvah. He has collected 12,311 pairs to date. SHOES continued from Page 1 June of 2019. The buildup to the event apparently garnered so much buzz, Zachary wound up on television, being interviewed for “Good Day” on Fox 29 Philadelphia on June 8, the day before. That day, Zach, with Lizzy Ann Swiderski co-hosting, collected nearly 500 pairs of shoes. “It was a very grassroots effort at the time, mostly Robbinsville residents,” Wendy said. “We advertised around town with flyers, the town did a newsfeed on its website. But I do remember one person saying she drove 45 minutes to come, because she had heard about it on Fox Philadelphia.” Zach and company went around to local businesses, restaurants and coffee shops, asking if they could place a box in their stores for collections. “I also went to where I play tennis, and asked them to put boxes out, too,” Zach said. Retailers and restaurants alike responded with great enthusiasm, and Zach’s shoe collection began to grow. “Places like Starbucks, KinderCare and Friendly’s Ice Cream in Robbinsville have all been terrifically supportive,” Wendy said. Other places include 3 B’s Fine Furniture Consignment in Trenton (191 pairs), All For Dance in Robbinsville (222 pairs), the Robbinsville Senior Center (303 pairs) and the Robbinsville Municipal Building (294 pairs). There have been truly unforgettable highlights along the way as well—one came this past August. “We contacted a woman who helped us get a table outside the Trenton Thunder stadium on Good Deeds Day,” Zach said, but Wendy interjected, “they liked the idea of what he was doing so much, they decided to give him his own day.” So, on Aug. 31, Zach set up shop at the stadium, and wound up collecting 454 pairs of shoes. “We were able to say that if you bring a pair of shoes you get a certain prize.” One pair of shoes got someone an invite to watching the fireworks on the field that night; two pairs got you the fireworks and a ticket to the Thunder’s home playoff game on Sept. 6, and three pairs
got you all of that, plus a food voucher for a hot dog, popcorn and soda. Another special moment took place at the Robbinsville Friendly’s, when Zach was given the “Acts of Friendly’sness” award by owner Lee Paroly and manager Geri Petito, given to people who have contributed to the community in distinct ways. The award includes a party for 20 people at Friendly’s. As businesses got more and more involved and the word spread, the Miller family decided to start posting info about the drive on social media. “It was important that we had a place where we could credit all the businesses helping us out, and thank them,” Wendy said. They started a Facebook page in September of last year. “A lot more people started to see it,” Zach said. “We also have an Instagram page. We now go to a business and take a picture, and then post it to Facebook and Instagram, thanking them for helping out, and putting the countdown on how many shoes they collected.” Scan the website and you’ll see posts like a shout-out to the Mercedes-Benz Learning and Performance Center, who collected shoes and helped Zach with loading, transporting and unloading at the Soles4Souls storage unit, or a thank you to Assemblyman Wayne DeAngelo and his staff for supporting the effort. Other events Zach has been involved with include the Black Friday Fun Run this past Nov. 29 for the Special Olympics of New Jersey and a 5K in Robbinsville, where he set up his table and donation box for both events. To date, Zach and his “team” have boxes in over 70 locations, and Zach has been part of multiple community events. The roster of donation sites includes not only Robbinsville but East Windsor, Princeton, Edison, Eatontown, Hopewell, West Long Branch along with other New Jersey towns, and in Pennsylvania, places including Emmaus, Exton and Yardley. All these efforts just keep bringing more and more shoes, but there is a solid system in place. The businesses call, email or text Wendy when their boxes become full. “Once we collect the shoes from each place, we bring them home, band them together, count them and put them in large garbage bags,” Zach said. “Those go on a truck that go to a big storage unit in Bordentown,” which holds shoes from all the donors in Lizzy’s territory. Once that unit gets full, which happens about every other month, volunteers unload the storage unit into a truck and transport the shoes to the North Jersey warehouse. From there, the shoes get processed and distributed internationally, to places including Haiti, Honduras, Africa and other developing nations. As of the writing of this article, Zach has collected over 12,311 pairs of shoes. “The goal [before his Bar Mitzvah on June 6] is 25,000,” which brings him to just about half. But regardless of the final outcome, Zach said, “I’m really glad I picked this project. I go to school, play different sports, and have all kinds of activities in my daily life. And you can’t really do any of that without shoes. And some people have none. So I knew this was a really good choice.”

Robbinsville resident Sam DeMartino can be seen on Girl Scout cookie boxes this year. SCOUT continued from Page 1 cookie boxes. “I opened it, and said, oh, it’s green, it’s Thin Mints,” DeMartino said. “Then the videographer and the woman with me said, ‘We have a better surprise—you are on every single box.’ I started crying. It was really an inspiring moment for me—it had been a big secret until Jan. 7.” Although DeMartino first joined Girl Scouts because a couple of her friends were in a troop, selling cookies and doing service projects, when she was in seventh grade and ready to design a project for her Silver Award, things got more personal and serious. “I chose to do STEM because that was what I was looking to for a career, and there was no other program than Girl Scouts that gave me that outlet to explore STEM,” she said. Because girls were underrepresented in the STEM community, she created a program to teach science to younger girls over seven weeks in the afterschool segment of a summer program at Robbinsville High School. For an hour each afternoon, she taught them kitchen sci-
ence and involved them in make-yourown projects, like creating rock candy or putting Mentos in Coca Cola to create an explosion. She was careful to take account of their interests as she made lesson plans. The program was successful, with an average of 10 girls in attendance. Because part of a Silver Award project is that it must be sustainable, DeMartino left her lesson plans to be distributed in future years, and she knows they were used the year after she did her project. After DeMartino completed her Silver Award in eighth grade, she decided to leave her troop and become a Juliette Girl Scout because, she says, “I found it easier to be successful on my own, and I was really busy with my other afterschool active; I found easier to do it self-regulated.” She then did Girl Scout trainings that would allow her to become a media rep and a program aide. The media training, she writes in an email, “is designed to make girls feel comfortable speaking with new people and sharing their stories and experiences in Girl Scouts.” By learning about etiquette and practicing public speaking, she earned the designation “media girl,” which opened her to potential media opportunities that her local council, Girl Scouts of Central and Southern New Jersey, emailed her about. These ranged from representing the Girl Scouts by appearing on the news or on a social media site to serving as an emcee at the “girl awards” for Girl Scouts in her local council who had earned bronze, silver, or gold awards or done any outside community service, which she did for three years running. Program aide training involved learning to put together a program that girls can participate in, via ice breakers and other small games that can make girls of all ages feel comfortable and lesson plans “that can distribute information in an organized way,” using PowerPoint presentations, handouts, and pamphlets. Two years ago DeMartino joined her council’s executive board as one of
Girl Scout cookie boxes will feature Robbinsville High School student Sam DeMartino (center). a few “girl reps,” whose role, she says, is “to be the voice for the girls in our council by giving our perspective on different things we’ve seen: how can we make programs better, recruit more girls, get more people involved in outdoor activities and STEM, and see what programs work and what programs didn’t.” At the beginning of summer 2019, DeMartino became her council’s STEM intern, responsible for facilitating STEM activities, , such as robotics, astronomy, and engineering programs, both at the council level and at STEMrelated conferences, where about STEM content and possible careers. She typically teaches younger girls, Daisies and Brownies, pre-K to third grade, researching topics ranging from working with differently abled people to making different kinds of slime, then coming up with related activities and putting together a presentation. Because Robbinsville does not have an animal shelter, she decided for her
Gold Award to establish a pet rescue club at her school whose goal “is to spread the message of animal rescue.” The club, now two years old, works in conjunction with Pet Rescue of Mercer, which rescues neglected, abused, and abandoned animals from local shelters and also helps owners who need to give up their pets by finding temporary and permanent homes from them. The club has done drives to gather food and toys for these pets. It also participates in community events, like Robbinsville’s annual pet parade, and sets up its club booth to both recruit more members and advertise for the Pet Rescue of Mercer. In May the club is planning a community event, perhaps a “doggie dash,” that can involve people together with their pets. DeMartino also has her hand in other activities at Robbinsville High School. In the fall she plays the snare drum in the marching band, and in her junior and senior years was drum line captain. In the spring she does stage management for the high school musical, having started working on stage crew in seventh grade. She is also a member of the drama club and the Tri-M Music Honor Society and president of the National Honor Society. DeMartino’s mother, Joanne DeMartino, is an art teacher in for the Howell Township Board of Education, and her father, Jason DeMartino, is a federal agent. She also has a stepmother and two younger half-siblings. Talking about what being a Girl Scout has meant in her life, DeMartino says, “Starting when I was young, I felt like I had confidence but felt like there was nothing to give me a place to explore what I liked. I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to do or who I wanted to be. I didn’t really have a sense of direction. Once I joined Girl Scouts, it gave me the opportunity to explore anything or ever ything I’ve always wanted to.” Next year she plans to get started at college as a biology major.

Church establishes sensory-friendly mass rooms By Michele Alperin Dan Greco thinks a lot about trees. As lead pastor at the nine-year-old Lifetree Community Church, Greco says his church’s mission is “to help people in Robbinsville build their own faith and live a life that would reflect that faith.” Playing on the tree metaphor in the church’s name, Greco says that faith is the root system that “keeps people strong in what they believe that transcends what they are experiencing.” But, he continues, “the point of a tree is not just to exist or survive—trees make the environment better.” Hence he urges people to ask themselves, “How does our faith inform your decisions, your investments, where you put your time? Are you living out what you say you believe?” One way that people at Lifetree live out their beliefs is a partnership with Ability Tree, an entirely volunteer-run nonprofit created in New Jersey but based in Arkansas, to add a sensory room at the rear of the church. (The “tree” in both names is coincidental, Greco said.) Three Robbinsville residents, active in both Lifetree and as volunteers for Ability Tree NJ, are working to implement the Ability Tree vision, as expressed on its website, “to create inclusive and supportive communities where individuals and families affected by disability
Shannon Gafgen (left), Pierre Dan Louis and Natalie Schuberth of Ability Tree NJ helped create a sensory-friendly room for children with developmental disabilities at Lifetree Community Church in Robbinsville. (Photo by Michele Alperin.) can enjoy healthy relationships in their neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and churches.” Ability Tree NJ president Natalie Schuberth explains that the faith-based component of Ability Tree “steers what do; we believe that God created all of us in his image and we all have gifts to contribute.” Pierre Dan Louis, social media
director, has spearheaded the sensory room project, and Shannon Gafgen, family liaison, has helped create a twice-amonth respite program for parents of children with disabilities. Louis, who works professionally with children on the autism spectrum, explains the rationale for both programs: “We know it is difficult for parents who
have kids with disabilities to take them into the community, whether food shopping or to the movies—because sometimes it’s hard for people to understand what is happening if your child is having struggles.” Louis was particularly concerned with parents who “want to attend church services but it may not be an environment that supports their child.” The goal of the sensory room is to create a space “where a parent can sit and watch and listen to the church service with their child in an environment that is friendly.” “Lights, clapping, loud noises, or the band’s singing might be challenging for the child,” especially children on the autism spectrum, Louis said. An uncomfortable child may then get loud and disturb other people, who may not understand the child or support the parents. The consequence is that many parents choose to stay home from church. The room sits behind the sanctuary; it has a two-way window and speakers with controllable volume that pipe in the service. The lights are also dimmable, in order to give families control over the environment in the room. The room is also full of resources that can help children—noise-canceling headphones in case things get too loud, a beanbag chair in the corner and fidget toys that an anxious child can hold onto or squeeze in the room or out in the sanctuary. Ability Tree also offers a respite for

families twice a month on Saturday nights. Parents can drop off both their child and his or her siblings for three hours, and each child is paired with a volunteer buddy. The idea is to give parents a break. “Divorce rates are particularly high in this population, and we want to make sure the couple has time together, and single parents have time for themselves,” Schuberth said. Volunteer training and orientation starts an hour before respite night begins. Gafgen says, “What we say is we are giving parents a rest, kids a rest from parents and therapy and, for volunteers, it is rest for them from the outside world.” The space for the respite care was donated by Everson’s Karate in Robbinsville. Space for the respite nights often fills up quickly. “There is a huge need in this area,” Gafgen said. Louis adds that he and his colleagues at Ability Tree are available to speak at other churches who may be interested in providing much-needed respite care or in opening a sensoryfriendly space. Another effort toward inclusiveness of people with disabilities happens at Greco’s church on the Sunday that follows Ability Tree’s one-week camp for adults with disabilities. Greco describes that Sunday service as a “takeover,” creating a picture of what happens at camp through words and music and people with disabilities. “It is probably the most fun Sunday of the year,” he said. “It gives people the opportunity to experience and see what a benefit it can be to be inclusive.”
Tools and resources available in the sensory-friendly room at Lifetree Community Church include noise-canceling headphones, fidget toys and more. (Photos by Michele Alperin.) Greco has noticed that people with certain disabilities may be particularly “authentic and sincere in their expression of worship” because “they don’t have that sense of what you think about them.” For example, they may jump, dance or give a high five in the middle of a song. “I think that disarms a lot of people,” Greco said. “It can release the rest of the congregation to really find joy in ways they were limited before. It is a real gift
to a congregation to welcome people of all abilities.” The connection with Ability Tree happened when Greco invited its founder, Joe Butler, a college classmate, to share his work on a Sunday in 2014. For Schuberth, the talk was an eye opener. “Throughout that service I felt that we really need to get involved with this; we needed to up our game,” she said. A psychologist who grew up in East Brunswick, she has worked with chil-

dren with disabilities since age 15. Her first venture was a job at a camp for children with disabilities. Then, while at Emory University as an undergraduate, she worked in the Emory Autism Center, where she got trained in applied behavior analysis (a therapy that focuses on improving specific behaviors of people with autism). She graduated in 2006 with a bachelor of science in neuroscience and behavioral biology; in 2007 received a graduate certificate from Penn State University in ABA for special education; and in 2013 a doctorate in clinical psychology from Loyola University Maryland. Schuberth’s first experience with Ability Tree was volunteering at Ability Camp in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. She says, “Ability Tree is where I get to have fun, really connect with these individuals, and serve the family.” For Gafgen, who as a preteen in a farming community in South Jersey was determined to be an astronaut, it was a psychology class at Buena Regional High School that aroused her interest in autism. Having seen the film Rain Man, where Dustin Hoffman plays an autistic adult, she decided to do her psych paper on autism. A girl in her class introduced Gafgen to a family whose son was on the autism spectrum, and Gafgen says she was “amazed by what the family did” for their son. That summer Gafgen volunteered at Camp Sun and Fun in Turnersville where she got experience spending time with adults who had all kinds of See CHURCH, Page 14

CHURCH continued from Page 13 disabilities. “It was hard and uncomfortable at first,” she said, but she eventually decided to pursue a career in special education. She majored in psychology at the University of North Carolina Greensboro, but was a semester short of a degree when her mother suffered a traumatic brain injury. She worked as a classroom aide in the Delaware Autism Program and then got certified to work in early intervention and started doing ABA therapy in her junior year of college. She has also volunteered in camps for children with special needs. Others in Gafgen’s family have also suffered from neurological issues: her daughter had an infection that affected her neurologically and, she says, “gave me insight into what parents go through”; and her nephew has cerebral palsy and has participated in Ability Tree’s respite program. At her previous church, she started a special needs ministry and when she contacted the township because she wanted to do a special needs expo, they connected her with Schuberth. Louis, who works as a behavior analyst, learned about Ability Tree a few years ago when Greco was helping his sister move. His initiation into the disability community was through fieldwork as a psychology major at Rutgers University. Due to his time constraints he was placed in the Douglas Developmental Disability Center where initially, he says, “I had no idea what autism was, and I tried to get out of it every week.” But soon, he says, he “learned to love the population. Louis started to work with families
in their homes after school and saw the impact of disabilities on families. “I saw how hard it is to do everyday things— to take their son or daughter to get a haircut; the planning it took to go to a movie; and if they needed to go to Shop Rite to get bread, they had to go at the right time [and worry about] ‘What if my son wants chocolate and I don’t give it to him.’” One thing Louis learned in his work with families was that many wanted to attend a church service, or had attended prior to their child being diagnosed with a disability. “There never seemed to be marriage of what I do for living and helping people access a faith community,” he says. Greco grew up in Lawrence. He earned a bachelor of arts in Bible studies, with a major in pastoral ministry, at the University of Valley Forge. He has a master’s degree that he did online in ministry leadership through Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida. He served on the staff of Pennington Assembly of nine years, and in 2010 moved to Robbinsville to start Lifetree Community Church. Although one of the core values of Lifetree Community Church is “we are better together,” Greco says, “I don’t know if everybody necessary believes that; they say that, but in practice we exclude. What we are trying to develop is a culture of inclusion.” “It is not good enough to say it is too much work, or too hard, or you don’t know how,” Greco says. “If we don’t take steps to do this, you are telling families you don’t care, they are not worth your effort, and that’s not good enough.”
‘If we don’t take steps to do this, you are telling families you don’t care, and that’s not good enough.’ –Dan Greco

Better Outcomes for Bladder Cancer Patients with New Technology at Capital Health Bladder cancer is the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer in the US and is the fourth most common cancer found in men. Because early detection can lead to significantly better outcomes, Capital Health now offers Blue Light Cystoscopy (BLC) with Cysview, a breakthrough technology that improves bladder cancer detection so doctors can remove more cancerous tumors than previously possible with standard cystoscopy. “Capital Health is one of only two hospitals in New Jersey to offer this procedure and the first to offer it to patients in central and southern New Jersey,” said DR. BRAD ROGERS, a board certified urologist and director of Urology at Capital Health. “In addition to giving us the ability to diagnose bladder cancer earlier than standard cystoscopy, BLC with Cysview also reduces the likelihood of recurrence.” When bladder cancer is suspected, doctors use a long thin tube equipped with a lens and a light (cystoscope) to perform a visual inspection of the lining of the patient’s bladder wall. During standard cystoscopy, a white light illuminates the bladder lining, enabling the surgeon to view suspicious areas. However, not all lesions or cancers may be visible under the white light. With a BLC procedure, highly trained physicians like Dr. Rogers 16Robbinsville Advance | Health Headlines by Capital Health
begin by introducing an agent called Cysview (hexaminolevulinate HCl) into the bladder. Next, viewing the bladder lining using a cystoscope equipped with a blue light, cancer cells appear hot pink while the surrounding tissue remains blue, making it much easier to identify smaller tumors and lesions that might not be visible with standard cystoscopy. Traditional cystoscopy BLC with Cysview “With significantly improved tumor detection, we’re able to provide treatment earlier and achieve improved outcomes,” said Dr. Rogers. “BLC with Cysview is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for surgery and for follow-up cystoscopies as well, so it can be used for ongoing surveillance.” Dr. Rogers and his team at Capital Health – Urology Specialists work with primary care physicians and other specialists to provide residents throughout Mercer, Bucks, and Burlington counties with advanced urologic care in a compassionate and relaxed setting, including state-of-the-art imaging, diagnostics, and treatment options. His office is located at Two Capital Way, Suite 407, Pennington NJ 08534. He also sees patients at Capital Health’s multi-specialty office at 1050 Stony Hill Road, Yardley, PA 19067.

NEW PULMONARY REHABILITATION PROGRAM is a Breath of Fresh Air for Those With Chronic Lung Disease Participants attend education sessions twice each week, before or after their exercise session, and meet with a registered dietitian to address any individual needs. The overall duration of the program varies according to each individual’s needs and goals. Loved ones are also encouraged to participate to provide additional support to program participants. Most insurance carriers cover the cost of this program, but some providers may require a copay or limit coverage to a certain number of visits. Anyone considering the program should check with his or her insurance provider regarding coverage for pulmonary rehabilitation.
For people in the Mercer/Bucks County region living with lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, chronic bronchitis and pulmonary fibrosis, Capital Health recently launched its new Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program. Located in the Wellness Center at Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell, the program provides a comprehensive outpatient exercise and education program to help patients reduce and control the symptoms and complications related to lung disease and improve their quality of life. “Collaboration is the key to the program’s success, and participants see the benefits of this approach right from the start,” said DR. DIANA KOLMAN, director of the new Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program at Capital Health and director of the Interventional Pulmonary Program. “After getting a physician referral for the program, patients undergo pulmonary function tests and interview with our staff before working closely with our team of physicians, registered nurses, exercise physiologists, and registered respiratory therapists. Together, our team and your referring physician develop a customized, carefully coordinated program that helps strengthen breathing muscles and enhance daily living.

The local origins of Genesis Biotechnology Group By Diccon Hyatt Genesis Biotechnology Group is one of the few corporate campuses that can be found in Hamilton Township. Its 50,000 square-foot facility on YardvilleHamilton Square Road houses offices and labs and serves as the headquarters of an umbrella company that employs around 1,700 people. While there are many biotech companies in the Route 1 corridor, it’s unlikely that any of them have a similar approach to business as Genesis, which funds its research not through investment, but through the financial returns of a sprawling real estate portfolio of more than 100 properties. Founder and CEO Eli Mordechai was born in Israel, where his father was a plumber and his mother was a kindergarten teacher. He moved to the United States at age 16 and graduated from Rider University with a bachelor’s degree and earned a doctorate in biochemistry at Temple. Mordechai, who lives in Robbinsville, says the origins of his business career can be traced to the days he spent at Temple learning about enzymes and proteins. He was especially fascinated by the polymerase chain reaction, which is a process for exponentially copying DNA sequences. Mordechai thought the medical testing industry was not using PCR to its full potential. The technology allows a tiny fragment of DNA to be copied millions of times, allowing an otherwise undetectable

But his idea to use PCR for testing, which had taken hold esis Biotechnology Group umbrella. A 2003 profile of the rapidly expandin his student days, never let go. In 1997, he moved back to the East ing company (U.S. 1, November 12, Coast to pursue his idea.He founded 2003) describes Mordechai, then vice Medical Diagnostic Laboratories in a president, as the business mind behind 1,200 square-foot lab in Mount Laurel. the operation, with Moradi, a builder He raised his $300,000 startup money and developer, serving as CEO. “We became an international lab during from private investors and a financial institution. The fledgling company this period also,” Mordechai says. Despite had just three people. Mordechai was its new headquarters, however, MDL was
relatively small compared to industry giants such as Quest and Lab Corp. “We cannot compete on size, so we have to compete on science,” he says. His pitch to physicians was giving them more information than his competitors. For example, he says, a traditional lab test would tell a doctor whether or not a patient had gonorrhea. MDL could not only identify the specific pathogen, but which antibiotics it was resistant to, allowing a doctor to prescribe the right treatment the first time. “We are pinpointing the therapy,” Mordechai says. In addition to running lab tests, Mordechai’s company also performed research. He says his most noteworthy scientific paper was about tick-borne diseases. Mordechai says MDL’s experiments showed that the tick that transmits Lyme disease can harbor other pathogens, such as Bartonella henselae, a cat scartch disease. “So many patients who were chronically ill mistakenly thought they had Lyme disease, but actually they had Bartonella, or they had both diseases,” Mordechai says. “We found that those ticks are actually cesspools to many other bacteria beyond the one that we knew.” (The Centers for Disease Control says that there is still no convincing evidence that ticks can transmit Bartonella infection to humans.) On another occasion, MDL worked with the CDC to create an antibiotic-resisSee GENESIS, Page 20

GENESIS continued from Page 19 tance profile of Trichomonas vaginalis, a common sexually transmitted infection. “This is a more tailored medicine approach,” Mordechai says. “Our nextgeneration sequencing technology is a unique technology in molecular biology that makes us capable of identifying resistance profiles with a very short turnaround time,” he says. The traditional way to do these tests, Mordechai says, is to isolate the bug from patients, grow it in Petri dishes, and treat it with different antibiotics to see which ones work. “That might take three or four weeks. And in the meantime, the patient is actually walking around with the symptoms,” he says. “We don’t do that anymore. We know that the resistance profile for the antibiotic is embedded genetically in the bug itself, so we are looking for those specific genetic elements, with technology, some of which was invented here. We are able, within 24 hours, to tell the physician, yes he or she is positive for this bug, and this is the specific antibiotic you should use, and this is the antibiotic you should not use.” The advantage for the patient is a quicker and more targeted treatment, while healthcare providers spend less on ineffective treatments. Doing all this research into antibiotic resistance and other areas led Mordechai to decide to venture into the drug discovery and development business. Shortly after moving to Hamilton, Mordechai formed Genesis Biotechnology Group, which now includes multiple companies under that umbrella. The name Genesis reflects Morde-
chai’s approach to research. “It means, ‘From the beginning,’” Mordechai says. “My professor and mentor from Temple told me, ‘Eli, if you want to look at something, you look at an old book.’ As a scientist, if you look at the work they did in the 20th century or the 19th century, and you read the papers there, I strongly believe there’s a lot of information that’s unique because they had the brain, but they didn’t have the technology. If you read the discussions of papers from Nature or Science from the beginning of the century, they’re fascinating. You can see the gap between what they were thinking or the direction they were going and what technology was available for them to answer the questions they had.” Mordechai founded Oncoveda, a cancer treatment research company, and the Institute of Metabolic Disorders. Mordechai says Oncoveda is focusing on bladder cancer and prostate cancer. “This compliments nicely our laboratory that does women’s health,” he says. The IMD is focusing on drugs to control sugar metabolism. Mordechai says that in the next few weeks, a third drug discovery company will launch, focused on immuno-oncology.

“The hottest spot of research right now is immune oncology,” Mordechai says. “Every Fortune 500 company, and even tier-two companies, have a program in immune oncology, from the big boys to mid-size companies. Immunooncology is the future.” Multiple companies in the Route 1 Corridor are involved in research and development on immunotherapy cancer drugs. All are taking different approaches, but they share the same strategy of using the body’s own immune system to attack cancer. Genesis joins a host of smaller companies, such as Oncosec, Advaxis, and Cytosorbents, which are developing immunotherapy drugs. Yet another researchoriented company in the Genesis Biotech Group is the Institute of Biomarker Research, which invents diagnostic tools and lab tests. In addition to doing its own research, Genesis does Contract Research Organization work on behalf of other companies. For about two years, Genesis Drug Discovery and Development has been breeding humanized mice — lab mice that have been genetically modified to have human immune systems. This feature is important for testing drugs: traditional lab mice can only be given mouse cancers. With human immune systems, the mice can be given human cancer, and therefore serve as more accurate test subjects for figuring out which drugs might be effective in humans. “ Those human cancers inside the mouse are not going to be rejected, because they have a human immune system,” Mordechai said. Where Genesis hasn’t developed its own capabilities, it has acquired them through mergers and acquisitions. For example, Genesis owns a stake in a Philadelphia company called Nexus Pharma together with Fox Chase Cancer Center. Nexus specializes in creating cancer models. It also acquired an ocular research firm in Kalamazoo, Michigan, to create disease models for ocular diseases. So far, nothing has been made public about the results of Genesis’s drug development projects. Mordechai says only that some of the ideas gleaned from old books and scientific papers have proved fruitful. He says one drug candidate is nearly ready for early clinical trials. All of this research is expensive, to the tune of tens of millions of dollars a year. Mordechai declined to give an exact figure, and he’s not obligated to, since Genesis Biotechnology Group remains a privately owned company. Genesis has found a unique way to fund its research that does not involve outside investors. “In order to fund the research it it’s a, it’s a very significant effort, with the institutes and a number of scientists that we employ to carry out these operations in this research,” says Michael Gale, vice president of acquisitions and busi-
ness development. “What we’ve done is we’ve created a model in house that started about 10, 11 years ago, where we invested in properties.” Genesis Investment Properties, the company’s real estate arm, owns around 100 properties, mainly in the Eastern part of the country. These include retail, medical, educational, and industrial buildings. Moradi, Mordechai’s brother, at one point managed the real estate aspect of the business, but Mordechai says he retired about five years ago. Gale now leads this arm of the business. Mordechai says self-funding through real estate has several advantages. “In order to sustain the ongoing research, there are three ways to get funding: to get an outside finding funding from, from investment groups that we didn’t want that. The other one is from the government, which is very difficult to get. Coming from academia, in being trained in writing with NIH grants, we know how laborious it is. You spend the majority of your time if not all your time, being, as I call it, a slave to your application. You just go from one application to another.” The third was to seek private investment, and that also came with significant drawbacks. “We decided the other way is to create a an economical conduit for our research, “Mordechai says. “The only way to do that is to take some of, if not all, of the profits that we got from the clinical lab that we run and reinvest it in creating that portfolio to sustain a financial conduit to our research ... Every time we buy a new asset or a new CVS or drugstore or a manufacturing facility, the proceeds are going toward our research.” Today Genesis is focusing on properties that are what Mordechai calls “Amazonresistant” such as manufacturing, education, and hospitality. Its hospitality portfolio includes some well known Princeton-area businesses such as the Chez Alice bakery, which Mordechai says is going to expand beyond Princeton to supply 10 or 20 stores. It also owns the Peacock Inn, the Washington Crossing Inn, the Yardley Inn, and the Princeton Pie pizzeria. A key figure in amassing this empire was Martin Adelson, the company’s COO, whom Mordechai met when they were studying together in graduate school. Adelson, who also has a doctorate in molecular biology and cancer research, has used his scientific expertise to continually upgrade the technology used in MDL’s clinical lab. Mordechai says all of this activity is for the purpose of supporting his ultimate goal, which is pushing medical research forwards. “I don’t have an exit strategy,” Mordechai says. “My exit strategy is, how can I better a patient’s life, either through new innovations in discovery and biomarkers, or through our drug discovery programs.” There is also a personal reason that Mordechai has invested in bladder cancer research. “I saw my dad going through cancer,” he says. “It’s affected me, seeing the unmet medical needs that are out there. The moment he got sick with cancer, that’s where we shifted a lot of our research.”

SPORTS Ryan Smith heads surging Ravens’ basketball squad By Rich Fisher Call it “The night the legend was born.” OK, that might be a little too dramatic. Let’s just call it the night that Ryan Smith officially arrived. It was Dec.18, 2017; the second game of the season for the Robbinsville High freshman boys’ basketball team. The 9th-graders had opened the season with an impressive win over Trenton. But when Conor Hayes and his varsity assistants walked into the court at halftime of the season’s second game, Shore was up big. The score is open to discussion. Hayes said it was 26-4, Smith claims it was 27-6. Either way, Robbinsville was down big. “We were like, ‘This is not the team that played Trenton,’” Hayes said. “And then Ryan came out and scored about 35 points in the second half, and we ended up winning by 15.” Smith did not mention how many he scored—which is typical, since that’s an individual stat— but he remembered the night well. “That’s one of my favorite games of all time,” he said. “My best friend Cameron (Coyle), who plays lacrosse now, he came up to me and said, ‘This is your game man, you gotta take control.’ I remember the whole team just coming out with such energy and such fire and we were on a roll, everyone was playing good defense. We came out, and won that game.” For the most part, Smith’s freshman team career was over and his JV career never began. “He might have played one more freshman game after that but it did not last long,” Hayes said. “He was practicing with us from that day on. He showed every day in practice that he deserved the varsity level and just kept earning more and more varsity time his freshman year and was a starter all last year.” And it all came from down the shore. “That (Shore game) kind of carried over into my varsity experience as a freshman,” Smith said. “You always come out with 100 percent intensity and enthusiasm and put yourself in the best position to win.” The Ravens finished 7-18 that year and Smith averaged just under 4 points in 18 games. As a sophomore, Smith’s average rose to 8.5 ppg but the team sunk to 4-17. This year, it has all come together for both team and individual. Robbinsville carried a 9-4 record into its Jan. 21 game with Hamilton West, and Smith was averaging 15-plus points and 5.5 rebounds. The nine victories were the Ravens most since finishing 11-13 in 2016-17. “It really is cool,” Smith said of the winning record. “We were doing all right with our scrimmages but (Hayes) sat us down after a pretty bad practice and told us everyone’s not on the same page. It’s happened the years I’ve been here, and eventually you’ve gotta buy in.” So, they bought in. Seniors Brian Tierney, Darren Henderson, Jack Billings and Keith Motusesky have provided

Experience leads the way for RHS girls’ basketball By Austin Boland-Ferguson At the beginning of last season, the Robbinsville High girls’ basketball program had to start from close to scratch. After a multitude of players had left the team, the Ravens were left with a squad that consisted almost entirely of underclassmen, with two juniors and no seniors. Team co-captains and lone juniors Maya Johnson and Marieli Perez, with the guidance of head coach Joe Washington, led the team to a 6-17 record. Though the record was down from an 11-15 campaign in 2017-18, Robbinsville High was still able to exceed the expectations set for them at the beginning of the season. Going into the new year, Washington was excited about bringing back a large field of players from last season. Halfway through the 2019-20 season, the Ravens sat at 4-7, including double-digit Robbinsville’s Kailey Pacifico dribbles around a Notre Dame opponent during a wins over Nottingham and West Wind- 59-30 loss at home Jan. 17.

Lucas.) sor-Plainsboro South. “We had an offseason together, which Despite the larger rate of player retenis huge,” Washington said. “We didn’t know what it’s like to play in a high have that last year. We got in the weight school varsity game,” Johnson said. tion going into the 2019-2020 season, room, we ran, all summer we had at least “The difference between middle school Washington was adamant about bring10 to 14 girls in the gym every day, we’ve and high school is a big jump, even the ing new players into the fray. He said the difference between junior varsity and program has 13 new players this season. been able to start building off of that.” After spending the last season trying Now a senior, Johnson was happy varsity is a big jump, so the fact that we with the pool of players the Ravens were have so many people that know what to give the Ravens on-court experience, winning feels like and what losing feels Washington set the targets high for Robable to bring back for 2020. binsville come the end of the season. “We have 10 to 12 people now that like is amazing.”
“We set some goals ourselves,” Washington said. “We want to make the playoffs this year, and we want to win a Mercer County Tournament game. Competing for our division is a goal of ours.” Completing the set goals will be a tall task for the Ravens, as they are going to have to play without their lineup fixture of the past three seasons. Over the offseason, Johnson tore her ACL and will have to spend her senior season on the sidelines. Despite that fact, Johnson remains undeterred from helping her team every way that she can. “We know our goals,” Johnson said. “We made a list of goals that we have, and we’re going to stick to them. I’m going to make sure there’s a lot of positive energy out there, make sure our competitive energy is up and make sure our team knows that we deserve to be here.” Washington added, “When Maya tore her ACL, we didn’t change our goals. We just said to ourselves, ‘We’re going to attack as if she’s on the court.’” On top of the injury to Johnson, being in contention for the Valley division crown could be a tall order. The Ravens have to face teams like Ewing High School, who finished last season with a 16-8 record, highlighted by an in-division record of 4-0, including a convincing 75-40 win over Robbinsville last January.

of girls’ basketball on three levels: varsity, junior varsity and freshman, something that wasn’t always guaranteed for Robbinsville. Johnson said that having three levels of basketball is “amazing” for the program. She added, “My freshman year, we didn’t have three levels. The fact that we have that now and we’ll be able to start building a program. It’s great to see the program better as I’m leaving then when I came in.” Without Johnson on the court, the team voted on three girls to serve as cocaptains for the season. Perez was again selected as a captain for her senior season, and she was joined by sophomores Vanessa Sabol and Kailey Pacifico to serve as co-captains for the team. Washington said, “I can already see [the sophomores] stepping into that role Robbinsville’s Marieli Perez maneuvers that they may not have been comfortduring a 59-30 loss to Notre Dame Jan. able doing last year and taking on that ownership of the program.” 17.

Despite having seen the end of her “Defensively, we’ve been pretty tough,” Washington said, “Last year, we had a lot high school playing career, Johnson of teams where we held them to 40 points knows she has a lot to give to the Ravens or under. I think that’s going to be a point this season. “I’ve been blessed with amazing teamof focus of ours again. They work hard, we’re able to play a few more defenses mates all four years that I’ve been here,” this year than we did last year, so that’s Johnson said. “I just want to make sure I have the opportunity to pay that back definitely beenMercer a positiveCounty for us.” One of the big upsidesDevelopment to the pro- and be a good teammate to everybody Office of Economic gram’s development is present: the existence else.” and UCEDC

Livin’ in a perfect world KATHIE FOSTER FROM THE SCHOOLS
For those 80’s music lovers, one band that is probably included on your list of “Best Bands with Songs to Lip Sync to while Using Your Hairbrush as a Microphone” is Huey Lewis and the News, an old favorite of mine. Who among us has not be-bopped our way through their pop hit, “The Power of Love” featured in the movie Back to the Future? Today, though, I want to highlight the lyrics to “Livin’ in a Perfect World” another Huey Lewis classic. The lyrics begin with the phrase, “Everybody’s looking for the perfect world”. Over time, many of us have developed a sense of determination and grit to help us set high achieving goals, create a strong sense of purpose and, ultimately, fulfill our desire to make a difference in the world. Others, however, have fallen—consciously or not—into the trap of pursuing, yet never quite attaining, perfection. As a recovering perfectionist myself, I speak from experience. Regardless of how much time, effort and heart we put into a task, we perfectionists are never completely satisfied with our performance. This can result in a chronic underlying sense that we will never quite measure up which, in turn, leads us to pressure ourselves to do better. There is a vast difference between what we may call high achievers and perfectionists. A high achiever strikes a balance between following her passion, committing energy and effort to a task and asking for help when necessary. On the other hand, a perfectionist often holds himself and others to unrealistic standards while clinging to the need for a strict sense of order and control. Because perfectionists often fear making mistakes, they play it safe, rarely ask for help, and avoid even healthy risk taking. I am sure many of you know someone who demands perfection not only in themselves but in those around them. This can be physically and emotionally exhausting for everyone. And because they believe it is likely that others will reject them, perfectionists often turn their own self-critical lens outward to mask the dissatisfaction they feel within themselves. This can manifest in many different ways. How do you respond when another driver cuts you off in traffic? Do you become aggressive and retaliate putting yourself and others at risk? If the steak you ordered comes out medium-well rather than rare, do you take it out on the server? When your morning train is running behind and it becomes clear
that you will be late for an important meeting, do you silently fume for the remainder of your commute? Although we can all experience perfect moments, say the unconditional love of a puppy, a newborn’s first smile, or a surprise rainbow after a storm, life promises to disappoint those who expect perfection in themselves or in others. In our work with our students, it is vitally important that we distinguish between kids with a healthy drive to achieve and those who may possess characteristics of perfectionism. Perfectionism can be linked to anxiety and depression. In a recent parent newsletter, Effective School Solutions pointed to a 2019 study published by the Journal of Abnormal Psychology in which researchers analyzed data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. This survey has tracked drug and alcohol use, mental health, and other health-related issues in individuals age 12 and over since 1971. When researchers compared responses generated in the years 2005 and 2017, the data showed: an increase of 52% in symptoms consistent with depression in 12-17-year olds; an increase of 71% in serious psychological distress in 12-17-year olds; and an increase of 47% in those having suicidal thoughts in 12-17-year olds. These are alarming statistics. Although there are a host of contributing factors, a handful of which include an increased feeling of isolation, overinvolvement with social media and even decreasing levels of sleep, we adults would do well to give serious consideration to the subtle messages we may be sending our kids about our own expectations for them. We want our students to set high expectations for themselves in school and in life. There are healthy ways we can help in this regard. For one, we can teach students to accept, embrace and learn from mistakes. After all, haven’t we learned a thing or two from our own past mistakes? Our kids deserve the freedom to make and learn from their own mistakes just as we did. We can help by celebrating their small successes and then building upon them gradually rather than hurrying them along to the next crucial goal. There is no rush. Life is not a race. Finally, we can embrace who they are in this very moment. They will feel valued and appreciated. Our friend Huey is right when he writes that nobody’s perfect and “there ain’t no perfect world.” It is time to let go of our perfection-paralysis. Today and in the days to come I encourage you to look for—and to celebrate—the first perfect moment that comes your way.
One of the nation’s Top Hospitals. Again. One of 38 top hospitals to earn national distinction for quality and safety.
Our kids deserve the freedom to make and learn from their own mistakes just as we did.

Paying it forward into the new decade DAVE FRIED MAYOR’S COLUMN
The 2020 State of Robbinsville Township/Pay it Forward event is set for April 28, 2020 at The Stone Terrace by John Henry’s. Needless to say, you will not want to miss it. While we are still making our list and checking it twice regarding this year’s worthy recipient(s), I am proud to announce the community-based theme will revolve around our current “We (heart) R’Ville Neighbors” campaign, which has generated not only considerable buzz around town, but it has upped the ante in terms of helping our fellow man. The campaign, launched last fall, awards car magnets to individuals in town who perform good deeds. You must be nominated to receive the magnet, or be “caught in the act” helping others. The C.A.R.E. program, a registered 501c3, will ser ve as the fiscal sponsor for this year’s SOTT event. The fifth incarnation of our groundbreaking “Pay it Forward” initiative in 2019 generated over $65,000 in both monetary donations and non-perishable goods for the Mercer Street Friends Food Bank, which feeds hundreds of
children annually throughout Mercer County and elsewhere. The Township and its Hydroponic Farm partnered with MSF in 2018, with hundreds of heads of organically-grown lettuce donated to the food bank for distribution throughout the area to supplement those suffering from food insecurity. Since 2015, our “Pay it Forward” events have raised in excess of $300,000 for local individuals, families and organizations. The goal this year is to once again exceed our goals. We keep raising the bar on ourselves in the ongoing mission of helping others, and it truly has been a collaborative effort. Event sponsors over the past five years have been incredibly generous, while our five previous recipients have expressed gratitude that warms our collective hearts to this day. The C.A.R.E. (Community Addiction Recovery Effort) program and its mission has expanded to every municipality in Mercer County, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to deploy it as this year’s fiscal sponsor. Donations and sponsorships to C.A.R.E. are used for partial scholarships, travel and lodging expenses en route to recovery, and other essentials items necessary for treatment and recovery. Just a reminder that admission to the
C.A.R.E. program does not absolve the arrestee from his/her legal obligations, including fines and/or possible imprisonment. It does, however, provide a pathway to a life free from addiction to opiates. We will be releasing complete details about this year’s State of Robbinsville Township/Pay it Forward event in the weeks to come, so stay tuned! *** Congratulations to councilmen Ron Witt, Dan Schuberth and councilwoman Chris Ciaccio, who were sworn in on Jan. 23 to serve new, four-year terms. Mr. Witt will once again serve as council president, while Mike Cipriano returns for his second stint as vice president. I’d like to welcome Hope Cahill to the Robbinsville team as our new Hydroponic Farm Coordinator. We have no doubt that Hope will do a fantastic job elevating our wildly popular program to even greater heights. Additional congratulations to Laura Francolino and Jennifer Miller, who were recently honored as the Robbinsville High “Teacher of the Year” and “Educational Service Professional of the Year,” respectively. Thank you for all you do to educate and guide our students! Dave Fried is the Mayor of Robbinsville Township.
