Bagels & burgers unite Leaving a legacy

Robbinsville couples cook up community at new restaurant

Bagels and burgers are both staples of New Jersey.

Two area couples have decided to combine these two popular food items into one restaurant— Deerpath Bagels and Burgers.

The restaurant, which is owned by Krishna Mahida and Kaushal Chauhan of Robbinsville and Yogesh Reddy and Swapna Goli of Chesterfield, held a grand opening celebration on Oct. 4, about seven months after its soft opening in March.

Bagels and Burgers—located in Deerpath Pavillion on Route 130—has a wide variety of breakfast and lunch options, such as breakfast sandwiches/wraps, french toast, waffles, pancakes, breakfast platters, omelet platters, breakfast sides, cold sandwiches and wraps, appetizers, chicken wings, kids meals, cheesesteak wraps, triple-decker club sandwiches, grilled sandwiches,

At 16-years-old, Michael Polaski began his time in poublic service by joining his hometown’s first aid squad as an EMT in Lacey Township.

Now, 33 years later, Polaski is ending another phase as a public servant—he has announced his retirement as chief of the Robbinsville Police Department effective Dec. 31.

Hayden Perusich has no problem playing nearly every position on the football field. He does, however, have an issue in preseason when players must identify where they want to play.

“It makes filling out forms tough,” he said.

Through his four years with Robbinsville High, Perusich played every position except cornerback and center, and with three games left in his career he joked “they might as

Polaski has served Robbinsville for almost 26 years. The 49-year-old began his police career at 18 years old when he was offered the opportunity to be a special officer for the Lacey Township Police.

After doing that for a year, Polaski he attened and graduated from the Police Academy, earning his certification. Polaski then worked for the Point Pleasant Police Department for 4 years.

NEWS BRIEFS

Police department earns prestigious accreditation

The Robbinsville Township Police Department has earned full accreditation from the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police.

Accreditation is a recognized process for helping law enforcement agencies improve their overall performance through the adoption of professional standards.

These standards include a comprehensive set of policies and procedures designed to enhance public safety and organizational efficiency.

“Our accredited status represents a significant professional achievement for the Robbinsville Police Department,” said Robbinsville Police Chief Michael Polaski.

“Accreditation acknowledges the implementation of policies and procedures that are conceptually sound and

Robbinsvill e

operationally effective,” Polaski said. “For the public, this means we meet or exceed best practices and gives us a definitive guide to do our jobs even better.”

The Robbinsville Police Department’s submission to NJSACOP included 65 policies and 112 standards aimed at meeting the program’s stringent requirements.

“This was an eye-opening experience: seeing every facet of your operations from the ground up, and it really drove home the fact that we are doing the right things,” Polaski added.

He acknowledged that although the accreditation was completed during his tenure, he was simply in charge at the time.

Polaski emphasized that the credit belongs to everyone who has worked for the department over the years, and highlighted the ongoing support from Mayor See NEWS, Page 7

Dave Fried, the administration, and the Township Council. He also noted that the department will begin the three-year certification process in the near future.

Fried, who is also the director of public safety lauded the police department’s efforts, emphasizing the dedication of the officers.

“This is yet another feather in the cap of what I have long considered the finest and most community-focused police force I have ever encountered,” Fried said.

He added that although the department wasn’t required to put itself through process, “they eagerly leaned in and the results in the report speak for themselves. I could not be prouder of the men and women who have served, and continue to serve, the residents of Robbinsville Township.”

Massive pickleball complex now accepting memberships

The largest pickleball facility in the Northeast, the Robbinsville Pickle House, is under construction and is now accepting memberships.

Located on West Manor Way, the 60,000-square-foot facility is expected

to open later this fall with more than 20 indoor pickleball courts.

The Pickle House, developed by Christopher Vernon—founder of Mercer Management—is designed to cater to the growing demand for pickleball. The facility will feature state-of-the-art lighting, year-round temperature control, and an in-house restaurant and bar.

The courts have been designed in collaboration with USA Pickleball, ensuring professional standards for gameplay.

“We’re thrilled to unveil The Pickle House later this year,” Vernon said. “Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, The Pickle House welcomes you to experience pickleball like never before.”

The venue aims to serve the pickleball community by offering league tournaments, classes, and private court rentals. Additionally, players traveling for events will have access to accommodations, with the Robbinsville Hampton Inn & Suites attached to the complex and other nearby partner hotels.

“This iconic fieldhouse has been the source of so many wonderful memories over the years,” said Mayor Dave Fried said. “Thanks to the vision of Chris and his Mercer Management team, more lasting memories are in store.”

The Pickle House is also hiring staff to manage the facility and serve its members. For more information on memberships or job applications, visit robbinsvillepicklehouse.com.

The facility is at the Robbinsville Fieldhouse—the former home of the Bob Smith Soccer Academy, which left the facility effective March 31.

In a letter to customers earlier this year, the academy said that its programs and staff will be relocating to a new location that is yet to be determined.

“The maintenance required to continue our soccer programs safely at the Robbinsville Fieldhouse, unfortunately, will not be completed at this time therefore causing our move,” stated the letter as the reason for leaving.

Mercer County launches expanded Mercer-At-Play

For All program

Mercer County Executive Dan Benson has unveiled an expanded round of the Mercer-At-Play program, focused on increasing recreation opportunities for underserved populations.

The initiative, funded by the federal American Rescue Plan, was approved by the Mercer County Board of Commissioners in their latest meeting.

The original Mercer-At-Play program

was launched in 2006 and reauthorized in 2016 to improve active recreation for Mercer County residents.

The newly introduced “Mercer-At-Play For All” initiative will further that goal by offering grants aimed at creating accessible playgrounds, upgrading senior recreation facilities, and developing afterschool sports mentor programs. These mini-grants will be provided through partnerships with local towns and nonprofit organizations.

“Mercer-At-Play has been a fantastic success since its inception, but the process of getting funds approved and distributed has been too slow,” Benson said. “With ARPA dollars, we can quickly connect funding to nonprofits and towns, ensuring our youngest and oldest residents have better access to expanded recreation opportunities.”

The initiative has garnered strong support from local officials. Mercer County Commissioner Chair John Cimino emphasized the importance of recreational programs for residents’ well-being.

“Recreation is enriching for our youth and seniors. This program provides excellent opportunities to expand outdoor fun and exercise for Mercer residents,” Cimino said.

The program will continue to provide expanded recreation opportunities across Mercer County through local partnerships with towns and nonprofits.

Peace of Mind.

Township Police Department all the time,” Polaski said.

In 1999, Polaski was hired to work for the Robbinsville (then Washington Township) Police Department as a patrolman. He was promoted to Sergeant in 2003 and then Lieutenant in 2009. In 2016, Polaski was named Administrative Lieutenant and Office of Emergency Management Coordinator. In January of 2022, Polaski was named chief of police.

“Becoming chief of police was a goal of mine that I had set at a very young age,” Polaski said. “I was promoted through the ranks relatively quickly.”

most cases.

“We’re still finding qualified applicants, we just don’t have as many,” Polaski said. “Where we had 100 people applying, I would find 10 people I would want to hire but I could only hire one. Now we find one or two out of the 30. It’s just always nicer to have a larger, more diverse pool of applicants.”

In Polaski’s opinion, much of the decrease in interest in the field has to do with the portrayal of the police force in news coverage.

Throughout his time serving the Robbinsville community, Polaski has overseen various changes in the town. As chief, he expanded the SAFE Team for members of the Robbinsville community with autism or communication disorders.

Additionally, through the expansion of the Chaplain Program, Polaski provided a vital tool to comfort families and individuals suffering from the various traumas associated with tragedy and loss.

“We’re developing deep roots in our community and making these relationships as opposed to an adversarial relationship where we’re constantly pulling people over or making arrests (which are still important),” Polaski said.

Over the past few years, the law enforcement field has seen a decrease in applicants.

According to Polaski, the Robbinsville Police Department used to average nearly 100 applicants for each hiring process, but only averages less than 30 in

“I think most of it is the negative attention the profession gets from the media,” he said. “Some of it is certainly warranted, but just like any other profession there’s a certain percentage that are not good,”

He added: “I think law enforcement suffers from that, and the media doesn’t report that the police around America had millions of transactions with the public today that went really well.”

With that said, Polaski believes that law enforcement always has room for improvement.

“Certainly, law enforcement has tons of room to make improvement, and I believe has made massive improvements,” Polaski said. “We have made those deeper community engagements and connections.”

One of Robbinsville Police Department’s newest initiatives is merging and sharing facilities with the Hightstown Police Department into one building. The two towns have a shared services agreement to operate out of a new police station and municipal court.

Retiring Robbinsville Police Chief Michael Polaski, right, is pictured with Mayor David Fried at the township’s 2023 National Night Out event.

“I think it’s a great opportunity for both communities, and I think both

with people in Robbinsville as much as possible, despite the distance.

we can share,” Polaski said.

This is a fairly brand new and rare initiative for agencies in New Jersey, and in Polaski’s opinion it will bring the community together.

“We have a great working relationship with our partners in Hightstown,” Polaski said. “I think at the end of the day, after some growing pains, it will be a very good thing for both communities.”

Making connections with the Robbinsville residents was one of the most important aspects of Polaski’s career. Reflecting on his memories and experiences, Polaski said he cherishes the opportunity to meet both of the Swami’s from the BAPS Temple, which located in town. The religious site is the second-largest Hindu temple in the world.

“I had the opportunity to go to the very top of the temple and sign my name on the granite with some of the other politicians and community leaders,” Polaski said. “I have a really special spot in my heart for that community.”

Polaski currently lives with his wife and two sons in Point Pleasant. Post retirement, he plans to keep in touch

“I still have really, really great relationships with a lot of people in the community,” Polaski said. “I hope to be able to keep in touch with them through the years.”

Looking back on his career, Polaski hopes to leave behind a legacy of a more professional agency than when he was appointed the position.

“I think we have made big improvements, and our community engagement has been ramped up throughout my tenure,” Polaski said.

In October, the police department earned full accreditation from the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police. The program establishes that the agency is doing best practices type of work, which protects them from liability as well as increasing professionalism. This will be the last of Polaski’s career and will be a part of his legacy.

Polaski encourages anyone interested in serving their community to join law enforcement.

“I think law enforcement is one of the most noble professions and it is a very worthy profession,” Polaski said. “If you like helping people and you want to be a part of the community, it is a wonderful profession.”

paninis and salads ($1.50-$15), aside from their wide selection of bagels and burgers ($2.75-$10).

Their burgers range from a classic cheeseburger ($9) to black bean burgers ($9) and buffalo chicken crispy cheeseburgers ($9). Bagels and Burgers has 21 bagel selections, with their more uncommon options being blueberry crunch, chocolate frosted and their very own Jersey Bagel (pizza sauce and a tomato slice with a cheese slice on top).

Bagels and Burgers also have an abundance of bagel spreads, even offering a cream cheese and bacon spread ($5). Mahida’s personal favorite bagel is jalapeño cheddar with sesame seeds.

They also have a great deal of drink choices, like lemonade frosties, milkshakes, protein shakes, plant-based protein shakes, fruit smoothies, red bull refreshers, iced tea and hot tea, iced coffee and hot coffee ($3-$8).

options, which they hope to add to the menu next year.

Mahida and Chauhan used to own a convenience store in Flemington, Singin at Lakewood, and loved the sense of community and how it felt like they knew everyone. With Bagels and Burgers, they are trying to build that same community with Hamilton and Robbinsville.

The owners have personally gone into surrounding businesses and given out complimentary bagels. Being located in Deerpath Pavillion, right on the border between Hamilton and Robbinsville, they are near many other businesses.

“That gave us a chance to get us connected and know more about the neighborhood we are living in,” Mahida said. “The connections blossomed — they’re stopping by here, they’re liking the bagels because we make fresh bagels every day here.”

Bagels and Burgers has been able to cater for some of the local businesses. Some of the businesses that they connected with share the eatery’s menu with family and friends. “We are so fortunate to have such a great community,” Mahida said.

Giving back to the community is part of what inspired Mahida to become a restaurant owner.

Bagels and Burgers also has vegan options, including veggie wraps and sandwiches, garden salads, cesar salads, vegan burgers, vegan cream cheese and butter, their protein shakes, smoothies and their plant-based smoothies: Vegan Vanilla Dream and Peanut Butter Paradise ($5-$8). They are also working on a quinoa dish as well as gluten free and low carb bagel

“Food is the basic thing that [connects everybody],” Mahida said. “To me, being the mother of two boys — an 11 year old

Alon Baker, DO, FAAP, FACOP • Sonya Boor, MD, FAAP
Laura Brandspiegel, MD, FAAP • Stefanie Fiderer, DO, FAAP

and an 8 year old — the main thing is ‘What are we going to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner?’”

Mahida explained that while her family strives to cook every meal from home, there are some days that are just so busy that it is not possible to cook all three meals. This makes her understand the importance of having reliable and healthy takeout food options that feel just like a meal from home.

“I wanted to do something where the community can rely on us for food, especially breakfast and lunch,” she said. “A personal touch we can bring is our connection with the customers and the effort we put into making our food.”

Mahida’s goal when it comes to cooking is to make the food taste like a home-cooked meal, but of higher quality. Her top priority, aside from taste, is health. Mahida is proud to use fresh ingredients for her food.

the walls and at the back of the register the abundance of bagels are showcased.

The two couples, who were friends prior to being business owners together, agreed that the Deerpath Pavillion would be a great place to run their business. The plaza inspired the restaurant’s name, making it easier for people to know where the business is located.

Mahida had an interesting start in the food industry. In 2011, she was a microbiologist/lab technologist for Johanna Foods in Flemington, where she would test yogurts and fruit juices. She also worked at Quickstop Deli and Sunset Deli, where she made sandwiches.

Mahida’s goal when it comes to cooking is to make the food taste like a home-cooked meal, but of higher quality.

There are three-full time workers at Bagels and Burgers and one part time. Mahida and Chauhan, though they are owners, prefer to not have a hierarchical structure in the workplace. They both know how to cook each food item and make each drink and they help clean and prep as well. Mahida often works at the front register. At the back of the restaurant is a huge back room kitchen where the cooking and cleaning takes place. There is a large bagel making machine where each type of bagel is made fresh each morning. At the front of the restaurant, there is a coffee making station, fridges filled with drink choices and a big space for tables. Large photos hang on

At Bagels and Burgers, Mahida is able to combine her pharmaceutical knowledge and business owner experience from Singin at Lakewood to run the restaurant.

To bring even more community to her business, Mahida is planning to bring the holidays to Bagels and Burgers by getting a Santa impersonator and a photobooth in the restaurant.

To Mahida, having a successful business means being able to form genuine connections with the customers, going beyond the one time experience. She makes sure to remember people’s names, their orders, what kind of food they prefer. She strives to “make them feel like home, like family.”

Deerpath Bagels and Burgers is located at 691 US 130, Suite A1B, with hours of operation being 6 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Monday through Sunday. For more information, call (609) 438-9255 or visit their website deerpathbagelsandburgers.com.

“We keep his preferred lineman jersey in our equipment bag in case during the course of a game he has to switch from number seven to a lineman’s number,” coach Andrew Patterson said. “Last year we lost a couple linemen, he started at left tackle for us the final five games of the year and wore 57.

“Honestly I don’t even know,” he said. “ I just do what I’m told. I trust the guys and trust my coaches to make sure that we can all get it done. I never really thought it was too hard. Our coaches set everyone up for success so if I need help I know they have my back to help me out.”

Patterson feels that Perusich’s desire for the Ravens to succeed has a lot to do with it.

“His versatility comes from the fact he’s willing to do anything to help his teammates,” the coach said. “In the four years he’s been here he’s never said no to me if we needed him to do something for us. He’s intelligent enough to know we’re not gonna ask him to do it unless it’s really needed.

“Size-wise he’s right in that sweet spot. He could be a somewhat smaller but strong lineman. He’s pushing the same size as a linebacker, running back, or fullback. He’s kind of in the Goldilocks zone and he’s got some muscle on him.”

When it comes to statistics, don’t look for Perusich’s name atop among the leaders in any category but “positions played.” He is too spread out to pile up numbers at any one position. But he’s listed under most of the categories.

Entering Robbinsville’s regular-season finale at Trenton, Perusich threw for 45 yards and a touchdown, rushed for 40 yards and a TD, caught four passes, made 40 tackles and forced two fumbles.

He also returned two punts for 18 yards and he plays on all but two of the Ravens special team units.

Asked if he ever comes off the field, Perusich hesitated before answering.

“Yeah, I guess I never do when I think about it,” he said.

It has been that way his whole career. Playing for the Robbinsville Pop Warner program, he never had a set position. He played from kindergarten to fifth grade before dropping football in favor of baseball and basketball.

“But not playing football I missed the game,” Perusich said. “I’d go watch them play at the high school every Friday and I wanted to get back.”

He went out for Robbinsville as a freshman quarterback. Noah Schwartz was the projected starter but when he got hurt, Perusich stepped in and played quarterback and safety. As a sophomore he was the back-up quarterback and a full time special teams player. He also played inside and outside linebacker, fullback, tailback and wing back.

“It really came down to the last preseason scrimmage, and we had to make a decision. Hayden made it so close I had to wait until the second scrimmage to make sure. That really pushed Gavin and made him better.”

Losing out in the competition didn’t faze Perusich. Asked what his favorite position is, he said “Wherever it helps us win games. That’s the most fun part.”

Pressed further about whether he prefers defense or offense, the answer was not surprising.

“Whatever helps us win, they’re both fun to me,” he said. “I just like being on the field.”

Of all the positions he has played, Perusich said quarterback is ‘100 percent’ the most challenging.

Last year he was a backup QB, running back, linebacker/defensive end and offensive tackle.

Aside from what he’s done on the field this year, one of Perusich’s biggest contributions came in training camp when he battled sophomore Gavin Yablonowitz for the starting quarterback slot.

“Hayden realized we lost our quarterback and that Gavin was young and still learning stuff,” Patterson said. “Hayden became the competition all summer and all preseason, pushing Gavin and trying to take the job from him. He made it an actual competition where he could teach the young guy because he’d been back-up for so long he knew the whole package.

Of everywhere he has played, Perusich said quarterback is “100 percent” the most challenging. But playing there as a freshman helped when he started performing at other spots.

“That made it easier for everything,” he said. “The quarterback has to know what the line’s gonna do, you have to know every route. Coach also preaches to us that everyone has to know everything and I agree with that 110 percent because it makes your job so much easier when you know what the guy next to you is doing.”

When the question was posed to Patterson of where his swiss army knife performs the best, the coach gave an intangible answer.

“I would say he’s best at being a great teammate,” the coach said. “He just wants us to be successful. I couldn’t really tell you his best spot. Defensively he’s solid. We know what we’re gonna get from him, he’s not an all-state linebacker but gets the job done and does it very well.

“On offense he’s carried the ball. We put him in as a wildcat QB and he scored a touchdown on a run. He’s scored

touchdowns as a running back. He’s a great blocker if he’s blocking for Chris (Naperkoski). He can go out and catch a pass, you can line him up in the slot.”

Patterson feels that Perusich is one of the top five most versatile players he has ever coached at Robbinsville. He loves the fact that the only numbers that matter to him are wins and losses.

“He puts in a lot of the work so the other guys can get the stats,” Patterson said. “Gavin’s a hard worker at quarterback but without Hayden there all summer and all preseason, Gavin doesn’t get pushed to be better coming into the season.

“Hayden’s just great. He’s always happy, always smiling, always helpful. He’s a captain this year. It’s kind of like ‘Hey who do you aspire to be if you want to be a good player for Robbinsville?’ There’s a couple guys you can look at, and he’s one of those guys. You point to him and say ‘Hey this is what it takes to win to be productive, to be helpful, to be successful.’”

Perusich pays the price after games, saying he’s tired on Friday nights but “I don’t feel anything until Saturday morning when I get out of bed. That’s when everything starts hurting.”

He’s hardly hurting in the classroom, where he has a 3.4 grade point average in addition to being a member of Robbinsville’s Chinese Club and varsity baseball team.

Peruisch has been looking at colleges and so far James Madison and Delaware have caught his eye, but he is still deciding. One thing is certain, he will miss playing under those Friday night lights.

“I love football,” he said. “I don’t even know how to explain. It’s just really fun. It definitely keeps your head awake. You don’t think about school when you’re playing, you don’t think about anything but the people next to you. That’s what’s fun for me. Everyone is just trying to get the same thing and you can’t do it by yourself.”

It’s all about enjoyment... once he gets past filling out those forms.

Moving to a senior living community over the holiday season may seem like a difficult decision. However, there are many benefits of a holiday transition!

1 ) Reduced Stress: The holidays can be a hectic time for everyone, but for older adults and their families, the pressure to host, prepare, and maintain can be overwhelming. Senior living communities alleviate this stress by providing staff to handle meals, housekeeping, and other daily tasks, allowing everyone to focus on enjoying the season.

* * *

2) Enhanced Connection with Others: During the holidays, loneliness can be a significant issue for older adults, especially those living alone. Senior living communities offer opportunities for socialization and sharing with others, which helps to foster purpose and belonging. *

3) Safety and Wellbeing: The holiday season can pose safety risks, such as falls due

to slippery surfaces or poor weather conditions. Senior living communities provide a safe and secure environment with staff readily available to assist with daily activities and emergencies.

* * *

4) Peace of Mind for Family: For family caregivers, the holidays can add extra strain to already demanding schedules. Senior living communities provide peace of mind by ensuring that their loved ones have access to the services they need around the clock.

* * *

5) Access to Holiday Festivities and Events: Communities like Juniper organize an array of special holiday events, including festive meals, entertainment, and group outings. These programs provide opportunities to meet new people and celebrate the season in a joyful atmosphere.

Tragedy helps bring out the

The worst of times often brings out

Far from the headlines and popular tourist towns, where national news crews covering natural disasters come and go almost as quickly as the hurricanes that inflicted the devastation, lies Hahira, Georga. Population 3,384.

Although a state away, Hahira is not all that far from where Hurricane Helene made landfall in the big bend region of Florida. Helene devastated this area 20 minutes north of Valdosta in Lowndes County with a foot of rain, 125 mileper-hour winds, more than 25 spawned tornadoes and ravaged countless acres of precious farmland.

As we did in 2005 following Hurricane Katrina, then again following Superstorm Sandy in 2012, pinpointing one town among the dozens, if not hundreds, of the impacted areas in which to lend a helping hand was just as difficult as it was heartbreaking. That is when Robbinsville Township Police Lieutenant Tom Egan stepped in.

outside of Biloxi. In the aftermath of Sandy, Robbinsville adopted Sea Bright, NJ, which had taken a brutal pounding from storm surge that inundated the small shore community with an unprecedented deluge of water from both the Navesink River to the west, and Atlantic Ocean from the east.

We find ourselves here once again, and once again the residents and businesses of Robbinsville came through with two weeks’ worth of donations from October 14-28 to both help the good people of Hahira with necessities, and to buoy their spirits. Robbinsville has truly embraced the spirit of “Pay it Forward” and have shown time and time again how caring and compassionate it is. I would also like to give a special shout-out to Robbinsville Firefighter Chris Querry, who was deployed to Asheville, N.C. with the NJ Urban Search & Rescue team to relieve personnel working on hurricane recovery efforts there.

What else can I say that has not already been said? We are very blessed to live in a place that cares so deeply about not only its own community, but also strangers in tiny towns 1,000 miles away. Thank you all for your boundless kindness, generosity and empathy.

Lt. Egan and his family visited Hahira while returning home from Disney World and they fell in love with its small-town charm. Hahira is the very epitome of small-town America — not all that different from Robbinsville’s rural, farming beginnings. Like Robbinsville, the people of Hahira are true neighbors that look after one another and take immense pride in their community.

When Katrina devastated the south, we were still known as Washington Township and proceeded to adopt Ocean Springs, Mississippi as our “Sister City.” Teaming with the community and Bohren’s Moving and Storage, we delivered a truckload of supplies and necessities, along with three police vehicles, to that small Gulf Coast town

Just a reminder that early voting for the 2024 election is still available until Sunday, Nov. 3. This does not mean you vote with an absentee or mail-in ballot. You vote in person, on a machine, with a paper ballot just as you would on election day. The only difference is the location will not be your customary polling station. Visit robbinsville.net for the early voting locations throughout Mercer County. Early voting polling locations are open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays through Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.

Save time in line on November 5!
