Before the McElmoyls, Oliver had been best known for its brisk lunch business, which featured a wide variety of soups available in house and for takeout, and basic but tasty sandwiches like chicken salad on a croissant. It wasn’t

They also had confi dence in their vision of what the restau-rant—the full name is Oliver, a Bis-tro—could be. After they bought it from former owner Robert Bice in June 2006, they gave the place a new look, a new menu and a new schedule and set about the task of making Oliver their own.

World of Paine

By Diccon hyAtt

Bordentown may be the one place in the world where the most progressive of America’s founding fathers gets his due.

After all, most of the great colo-nial revolutionaries didn’t advo-cate for abolishing slavery. Most of them never spoke out in favor of women’s rights. Most of them thought only landowners should be allowed to vote.

Many today wave away these shortcomings by saying that abo-litionism, feminism and universal suffrage were ideas whose time had not yet come.

But those excuses ring hollow if you read the writings of Thomas Paine, the author of the radical pamphlet “Common Sense” that was the best-seller of 1776. At dif-ferent times, Paine wrote in favor of women’s rights, fulminated against slavery and proposed a form of government that would have been more democratic than the one that was eventually adopted.

Yet Paine is one of the most overlooked historical fi gures from that time.

“He was really kind of a forgot-ten founding father,” said Doug Palmieri, president of the Thomas Paine Society of Bordentown.

Palmieri is one of a handful of citizens who are trying to make

Waterfrontconstruction set for AprilBy AleXAnDRA yeARly

Bordentown Township is ready to make a waterfront transit vil-lage a reality.

The township has approved plans for the construction of the Bordentown Waterfront Tran-sit Village to begin in April. The 90-acre site, which has been vacant for more than 20 years, has the township’s blessing to be trans-formed into a place where its resi-dents will have access to the river.

The plan calls for market-rate apartments, affordable senior hous-ing, commercial shops, a fi shing pier and walkway, parks and the construction of a River Line station.

It’s the fi rst time in nearly 100 years that the property, the only section of Bordentown Township that touches the Delaware River, will be accessable to the public. Before that, public use was pre-vented because of industrial needs.

The location had been operated by the North American Marine Salvage Company up until the early 1980s, when the ship salvage yard closed down. In 2002-2003, the township considered allowing a power plant to be constructed in the abandoned space, but after numerous complaints and protests from residents, the township did not follow through with the project.

In 2005, Jeffrey Albert approached the township with a new proposition.

Gardening with a grin

Li Zhai from Lawrence bags her harvest of green beans at the Lawrence Community Gardens July 7, 2012. For more gardening photos, turn to pages 12-13. (Photo by Suzette J. Lucas.)

A day spent painting, coloring, singing and laughing may sound like the perfect day for any stu-dent, but for artistically minded students in Lawrence, that expe-rience and type of atmosphere is something that can be found every summer at the Art and Theater Camp run by the Lawrence Town-ship Recreation Department.

The full-day children’s camp is held at Lawrence High School every July. Two-week sessions are offered twice per summer for elementary and middle school stu-dents looking to hone their artistic and theatrical skills.

The camp runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and creative arts teachers fi ll

The members of the Photog-raphy Club of Mercer County are always searching for the next great shot, and they all have differ-ent ways of fi nding it.

When Lawrence resident Christy Garrison started the group four years ago, she was looking for a way to bring together people who had the same interests.

After several years away from art and New Jersey, Garrison had gotten back into the photogra-phy business and was still getting familiar with the area.

Now, the club has more than 200 members, of whom 30-40 regularly attend the meetings and See CLUB, Page 8

Shutterbugs county-wide focus on their artfi eld trips.

The group is open to photogra-phers of all levels, from someone who’s just purchased a camera to professionals. And the hardware refl ects the group’s diversity—members use anything from small point-and-shoots to high-end digi-tal SLRs to old-fashioned 35 mm fi lm.

Garrison gives the group monthly assignments, each with a different purpose. Some focus on a more technical aspect, such as aperture and focus, and others simply outline a theme, like sum-mer fun or nighttime.

“[I’m] just trying to get people to learn the … gadgets and dials on their cameras, because one of the things we try to get people to

do is get their cameras off of auto-matic,” she said.

But though the photography angle might attract people to the group, Garrison said the members have such fun that they end up forming friendships.

“The great thing is we’ve all become so friendly,” she said. “So we can have our meetings, and afterwards we’ll all go have a drink across the street. There’s a good camaraderie with the group, and they’re very welcome to newcom-ers. It’s not a clique.”

Aside from the monthly meet-ings, Garrison schedules group fi eld trips around the tri-state area. Annual trips usually include Hamilton’s Grounds for Sculpture

each day with lessons and work-shops on various artistic topics.

Students spend the fi rst several hours of camp painting, drawing, sculpting and working with differ-ent media.

Sean Carney, an art teacher at Lawrence High School, instructs campers entering grades one to four. He likes to begin each morn-ing with some unstructured art before moving on to technique.

“When they come in we have free draw the fi rst half hour. Then we usually do a lesson. For exam-ple, I’ll teach them about watercol-ors or how to tear paper,” he said.

Because the campers are young, lessons are short, and much of the time is spent working on various projects. The campers are free to

create and explore. He sometimes takes them on mini fi eld trips to the school’s sculpture garden or plays them music for inspiration.

Carney often uses lessons that he would teach to his high school students, giving the artistic camp-ers the chance to learn techniques that are not taught in most ele-mentary school classrooms.

“They love seeing that their assignment is the same thing that the high schoolers have done,” he said.

Donna Sheehan, who works as an elementary school art teacher in Hamilton, has been with the camp for many years. She began as a ceramics instructor back when each camper was asked to choose

August 2012 | Lawrence Gazette3

For the first three Thursday nights in August, music is set to be the main focus at Lawrenceville’s Weeden Park.

On Aug. 2, the crowd will have a chance to take an acoustic journey with Off the Map, an alternative pop/rock-fusion band with a sound that is exploratory and eclectic.

The event marks the eighth free concert in the 2012 series organized by Lawrencev-ille Main Street. The weekly concerts began in July and are scheduled to be held every Thursday night at 7 p.m. until Aug. 16.

On Aug. 9, Stringzville, an acoustic string jazz quartet, is set to perform some famil-iar jazz standards. But not too familiar — they’re mixing in some gypsy jazz and bossa nova to spice things up.

The Whiskey Girls Band will perform a mix of current and classical country music

Aug. 16. Guitarist Rick Newport, who has his own band, “Tequila Rose,” will perform with the Girls.

LMS president Howard Nelson said the first free concert series started back in 2001 with only one event. Since then, the num-ber of concerts has steadily increased. This year, LMS scheduled 11 shows.

Husband and wife team Jill and Steve Hendershott work to line up the musicians for the concert series.

“Since Steve is a musician. He has many musical contacts in the area and a good ear for talent,” Hendershott said. “We’ve always enjoyed going out and listening to bands. When we hear a band we like, we think how they might fit for Music in the Park. We try to keep a balance of the differ-ent styles of music.”

The Hendershotts are especially interested in local bands and are impressed with the tal-ent they find in the area. Many performers are Grammy award nominees and winners, including all band members in Off the Map.

“Music in the Park is a great community event that allows everyone to get together, have a picnic and listen to some great music,” Hendershott said.

August 2: Off the Map. From Ewing, Alex Otey: trumpet, keyboard and vocals. Amy Otey: guitar and “band ringleader.” From Princeton, Ryan Ross: percussionist and “full-on authentic Scotsman.” From Law-renceville, Chris Clark: double bass.

Traffic camera suspension liftedEffective July 25, the traffi c camera sus-

pension was lifted at 63 red light running camera intersections, including 21 towns in the pilot program.

Responding to a June 19 directive from the New Jersey Department of Transporta-tion, 21 municipalities have provided re-cer-tifi cations confi rming that the yellow light timing is in accordance with the formula specifi ed in the legislation.

The department had directed 21 of the 25 municipalities participating in the pilot pro-gram to suspend issuing summonses. The suspension order affected 63 of the 85 autho-rized red light camera intersections statewide.

Suspensions were ordered because pilot program legislation specifi ed a formula to determine the proper duration of the yel-low light in a traffi c signal that differs from the legally required, nationally accepted for-mula that NJDOT, counties and municipali-ties use when installing traffi c signals.

NJDOT notifi ed the affected munici-palities of the variance in the formulas and directed each to perform an analysis that conforms to the formula in the legislation. The cameras were not required to be turned off, and continued to record traffi c activity.

Each affected municipality has conducted the requested traffi c analysis and provided its re-certifi cation to NJDOT via a profes-sionally licensed municipal engineer. In each case the results have confi rmed that the duration of a yellow light at the autho-rized intersection meets the minimum dura-tion as required by the legislation.

The municipalities that were affected by the suspension are now permitted to continue issuing violation summonses, including for for violations during the suspension period.

If the analysis had shown that a signal did not meet the formula in the legislation, that intersection would have been removed from the pilot program.

ChazMaTazz decking out Princeton community for more than 16 years

C N S Vol. 1, No. 6 | May 2011

BY KARISSA HEARN

People invest lots of time and effort into planning their special occasion, whether they are weddings, proms or black tie events. For men, choosing the perfect shirt, vest, tie and jacket out of a catalog can be a trick.

And shopping for attire at ChazMaTazz Formal-wear can simplify the process.

ChazMaTazz Formalwear has serviced the Princ-eton area for over 16 years.

Chaz Roeleveld, store owner and Toms River native, has been working in men’s formalwear since he was 15 years old. He worked for two different formalwear stores and attributes “a great boss” to his interest in the industry.

Eventually, Roeleveld branched off on his own. With a tight budget, he started a shop-at-home for-malwear service out of his car.

“That’s about all I could afford,” he said. Today, he operates a store in Princeton Marketfair

on U.S. 1 in Princeton. His store, ChazMaTazz For-malwear, specializes in tuxedo rentals and sales for weddings, proms and black tie events. They also offer uniforms, tailoring and formalwear accessories.

“And with that is our personalized service,” Roe-leveld said.

When a customer enters ChazMaTazz, they are not handed a big booklet of male models in suit jackets and pages of square inch tie swatches.

“A lot of customers don’t understand there is better service,” Roeleveld said.

ChazMaTazz has the majority of their products on site, and allows customers to try on the different com-binations before purchasing. The shelves are lined with mannequins sporting the different combinations and can be dressed in whatever the customer wishes to see.

As the spring approaches, Roeleveld is gearing up for the busy season, May and June. Having such a big inventory defi nitely comes in handy, Roeleveld said.

“Last minute, a girl changes her dress color,” he said of prom season, “it’s not a problem because we

have all of the vests on hand.”Often, ChazMaTazz Formalwear employees work

around the clock this time of year.“Most prom seasons we go one night a week with-

out sleep,” Roeleveld said. He and his employees spend the rest of the night making sure that the suit production is executed. “We’re not a chain operation with 8-hour shift employees who just go home.”

ChazMaTazz currently has two employees, but during their busy season, Roeleveld has four or fi ve employees on staff.

Shopping for formalwear at ChazMaTazz Formal-wear provides customers with a unique and person-ally tailored experience, Roeleveld said.

“Those that go shopping and understand service will go here,” Roeleveld said.

ChazMaTazz Formalwear is located at 3535 U.S. 1 in the Princeton Marketfair plaza in Princeton. The store is open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. For more information, call (609) 452-0921. On the Web: chazmatazz.com.

an artistic focus, but is happy to see that the camp now offers general art instruction for all campers. This allows campers to learn new techniques in art forms they might not have experienced before.

“We’ve tried to give the campers more options and let them experience a different take on things,” she said.

The mornings end with cool-down free drawing sessions before lunch. After break-ing for lunch, campers gather in the school’s auditorium for afternoon drama classes run by the Odd Act Theatre Group.

Head drama teacher Laura Volkland, a

student at Montclair State University, runs the class with assistance from several local high school students.

Volkland begins the afternoons with sev-eral minutes of relaxation exercises.

“We warm up by meditation to calm the campers down,” she said.

The students then stretch their acting muscles through a series of drama games before splitting into small groups where they are taught a variety of lessons through-out the weeks. Topics include focus, energy and vocal projection. The campers also gain experience with stage combat, scene work and improvisation.

“People think of theater as Broadway shows, but that’s not what we do here,” Volk-land said. “We let them use their imagination and we play games with them. They get to see different aspects of theater like improv and straight talking.”

During the second week of each ses-sion, campers work in groups to write their own 10-minute plays, which are then per-formed at the end of the week for families and friends. The teachers help the students organize their thoughts, but the campers do most of the writing.

“They come up with everything and we just guide them,” Volkland said.

Campers range in age and skill level. Some take private art lessons while others attend camp simply because they are look-ing for something to do during the summer, but all enjoy being creative.

“If they want to do something and have a good imagination and a good attitude, that’s all that matters. It’s not about who’s a better actor,” Volkland said.

As for the campers, it was apparent from their smiles and laughter that they appreci-ate the creative freedom.

“I’ve come here for the past three years, and I really enjoy this camp a lot,” said Alina Rodriguez, who will enter seventh grade at Lawrence Middle School in the fall.

Sophia Sharareh, an incoming fourth grader at the French American School of Princeton, was hard at work sculpting a tur-tle out of clay.

“I came (to the camp) two years ago, and I came back because I loved it,” she said.

Special Olympics New Jersey athletes celebrated the 50th anniversary of Camp Shriver with cupcakes depicting the Special Olympics logo July 10, 2012 at the SONJ Sports Complex on Princess Road in Lawrenceville. Camp Shriver is named after its founder, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who first invited individuals with intellectual disabilities to a day camp she hosted in her back yard in 1962. 50 years later, her vision has grown into the Special Olympics movement worldwide.

and the Eastern State Penitentiary, but any group member can suggest a field trip. On July 20, the group traveled to the New Hope fireworks. Other upcoming trips including a cemetery and an evening light show.

And each member has something differ-ent to contribute. What makes the group so dynamic is that many of its members have dif-ferent approaches to the art of photography.

“Photography for me is also a way to slow down, and it’s an opportunity to slow down and see the world very differently,” said Hamilton resident Diane Hasili. “You’re look-ing for nuances, you’re looking for a slower pace. It’s me connecting with the subject, me connecting with nature. Really going into places like no man has ever walked.”

Hasili lives that idea to the fullest. She’s been to six continents and 27 countries, including a month-long trip to Antarctica a few years back where she got up close and personal with the king penguins—some-thing she had always wanted to do.

“The camera goes with me everywhere,”

Hasili said. “The camera has walked thou-sands of miles.”

Often on her trips, she brings backup cameras and lenses in case of an emergency. For her Antarctica trip, she even bought a new laptop so she could upload and see her photos each day.

Hasili has also taken many trips by ship, sometimes going for days without seeing land. She and other photographers spent most of their time outside on the deck, wait-ing for the next great shot, and said it’s a similar experience on the group field trips.

“You’re all taking photos of the same place, but all walk away with a different experience and eye,” Hasili said. “How can we all be there and take that same photo-graph and have it turn out a different way?”

But Sean Bolden has another approach to photography, and it’s one he’s teaching his 9-year-old son, Cadel.

“I don’t want to take the camera out to shoot until he tells me what he wants the image to be,” the Ewing resident said.

“You have to think from your concept [to]

your fi nal image. You’re not just clicking away to see what’s best.”

Bolden was fi rst attracted to the art in col-lege, when he took a photography course. He recalled his early work when he used only fi lm, sometimes having a roll of only 24 shots and the need to make every one of them count.

Bolden said Cadel completes all the assignments himself, and often uses his younger brother as a model.

“He’s learning to think and look for images in every day life,” Bolden said.

Even Bolden has learned a lot from the group. He does more work now with post processing than ever in the past, which con-trasts with his usual style.

“My normal process is I like to get it right in the camera, but I’ve learned it doesn’t always have to come out that way,” Bolden said.

Newtown, Pa. resident Connie Holden said the feedback and knowledge from some of the professional photographers in the group has been one of the most noteworthy facets.

“I enjoy being able to learn from the other

photographers,” Holden said. “I particularly like seeing different angles and hearing how the shots have been developed. And I like when work is critiqued, because that’s the only way you’re going to improve, is hearing other people’s opinions.”

Garrison said the group acts as an open forum, where members can comment, cri-tique and praise each other’s work.

Displaying the photos for the rest of the group also allows the photographer to fi nd out what other meanings their work could have.

“I love to hear… people have 20 different points of view of what that photo’s about,” Garrison said. “It’s so much fun. I love tak-ing photos that make people think.”

Many times, Garrison fi nds she’s more inspired in her own work after seeing some-one else’s, and said the group has motivated her to fi nd new interests and rekindle old ones. One of her recent series of work features old rusted objects, which began with inspira-tion from the Eastern State Penitentiary.

“I think sometimes photographers get so used to doing the same photography…

sometimes I forget the chance to go and do things that I love, like portraiture or nature photography,” Garrison said. “And this gives me the opportunity to do it.

“It keeps you from sticking to the same thing and it kind of expands your horizons.”

The Photography Club of Mercer County meets monthly on Friday nights at the Carn-egie Center in Princeton (though Garrison is seeking a bigger location, ideally in Law-rence). For more information, search Photog-raphy Club of Mercer County on Facebook.

Rock duo finds its grooveBy Ryan S. MuRphy

Resin Gypsy, a two-piece rock band featur-ing Kaleen Reading and Dre DiMura, brings a new take on the sounds of bands like Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. But this band hails from New Jersey, not England.

Kaleen Reading, a 20 year-old drummer from Lawrenceville, has found that being in New Jer-sey has its advantages.

“It’s actually helped to live in Lawrenceville because it’s in the middle between Philly and New York,” she says.

Even after many perfor-mances in both of these cit-ies, as well as venues around the country, her favorite places to rock out are right here in New Jersey.

“I’d say my favorite venue was Asbury Lane in Asbury Park,” Reading said. “The people are really friendly and some of the nicest people I know.”

Reading met singer and guitarist Dre DiMura, who grew up in North Brunswick, through the Princeton School of Rock. In fact, DiMura would not have joined the school in 2008 if it weren’t for Reading.

DiMura’s parents both teach at Lawrence High School. After DiMura’s father showed Reading a video of DiMura playing a Deep Purple song, she recommended he start attending the school.

“Kaleen was the first person at School of Rock that I knew,” DiMura said.

At the school, both musicians honed their skills in different ways. Reading even discov-ered her instrument of choice.

“I wasn’t a drummer until School of Rock,” she says. “I had played guitar.”

Dante Cimino, the music director at Princ-eton School of Rock, has known Reading for seven years. He was also her drum teacher.

“It was obvious to us when she wanted to try drums that she was a natural drummer,” he said.

He noted that many famous musicians switched instruments early in their careers,

including brothers Eddie and Alex Van Halen.

“There’s something very primal about playing drums,” Reading said. “It’s a very meditative process.”

DiMura said their unique sound was something that had to be developed care-fully over time. They’re a two-piece band that sounds like a four-piece band, and to achieve that effect, layers of sound have to be added.

As DiMura puts it, “We had to develop new methods to our madness.”

There is also an instinctive and natural quality to the way the two band mates col-laborate. DiMura speaks highly of Reading’s intuitive qualities as a musician.

“I’ll have a melody or something, I’ll show it to her and she’ll jump in,” he said. “There’s very few times when I’m like, ‘Do this instead.’ She just knows what to do.”

Reading agreed that the creative process flows easily when they work together.

“We just sit down and jam, and we let whatever come out. From those jams we cre-ate the songs,” she said.

DiMura also spends his time teaching guitar lessons at School of Rock. General manager Mike Vlandereen complimented the guitar-ist, saying, “He’s really good with the younger kids and acts as kind of a mentor to them.”

“We just sit down and jam, and we let whatever come out. From those jams we create the songs.”-Resin Gypsy drummer Kaleen Reading

Womanspace seeks Victim Response Team volunteers

Womanspace is looking for volunteers to join its Domestic Violence Victim Response Team and Sexual Assault Sup-port Services Advocate Team.

Team members respond to local police stations or hospitals and meet with vic-tims—providing them with support, infor-mation, and referrals. In the past ten years the teams have served over 5,700 resi-dents of Mercer County. Last year, team members provided services to 728 domes-tic violence victims and 72 sexual assault victims.

DVVRT and SASS volunteers support victims of domestic violence and sexual assault during the most critical time.

Team members’ qualifications include the ability to communicate well with oth-ers, being a good listener, and maintain-ing confidentiality. Interested persons must be 18 years of age or older, as well as a resident of or employee in the Mercer County area with a valid driver’s license, available transportation and the ability to attend trainings and meetings. Volunteers will not have either a criminal history or prior history as a defendant in a domestic

violence or sexual assault-related matter.Volunteers will receive 80+ hours of

extensive, specialized training on topics including the law, sensitivity to the needs of victims and their children, and how to provide appropriate responses at a very critical time. Trained volunteers must be “on call” (available to respond to call-outs at police departments or hospitals) two to four shifts per month. The next training will begin in early September 2012.

Download a volunteer application online at womanspace.org. Applications must be mailed to Womanspace by Aug. 15. Interested persons must submit to a background investigation, including fingerprinting.

Bilingual individuals (especially those fluent in Spanish, Polish and American Sign Language) are encouraged to apply. Volunteers are also required to be fluent in English.

For more information about volunteer-ing on the teams, email Heidi Mueller at [email protected] and Alison Daks at [email protected], or call (609) 394-0136.

Reading, on the other hand, is usually busy with her other bands, including an all-female Metallica tribute band called Misstal-lica. But somehow, the two still find plenty of time for Resin Gypsy.

“It’s definitely a balancing act,” Reading said. “There’s a time for everything.”

When asked what advice they’d impart to other young musicians, DiMura suggested something he called positive imaging.

“Envision exactly what you want, imagine yourself accomplishing your goal,” he said.

“It’s not magic. It’s just putting your mind to a task.“

“My advice is to find other likeminded musicians and have them push you,” Reading said. “One of the most important things is to play and create sounds with other people.”

Resin Gypsy will continue to play and cre-ate amazing sounds at their next show in Asbury Park, on July 30 at the Saint. The show is open to all ages and doors open at 7 p.m. Another show for ages 18 and up will follow on Aug. 5 at the Fire in Philadelphia.

St. Ann’s to mark 75th anniversarySt. Ann’s church is set to celebrate its

75th anniversary with a festive mass, cele-brated by Bishop David M. O’Connell, Aug. 5 at 12:30 p.m. A reception will be held after-ward, attended by priests who have served St. Ann’s, clergy from Lawrenceville and sur-rounding areas, founding members of the parish and parishioners.

The Church of Saint Ann in Lawrenceville has been celebrating its founding in 1937 with a year-long celebration.

Anniversary events have included a year-long series “Catholicism,” an Italian mass and festival, International Covered Dish, Corpus Christi Procession, pilgrimage to Canada, golf outing and parish participa-tion in the Lawrenceville Community Day and Memorial Day Parade. The Anniversary committee is coordinated by parishioner Bob Kusek and assisted by many parishio-

ners, some who remember the early days of St. Ann’s founding.

St. Ann’s first mass was held at the Burke Residence on Titus Avenue in Lawrenceville in 1891. The Catholic community moved to several others residences until 1905, when it found a more permanent home at the newly constructed Morris Hall Home for the Aged. On August 9, 1937 St. Ann’s Parish was incorporated and in less than a year a new church was dedicated at the corner of Law-rence Avenue and Lawrenceville Road.

That church was a landmark for 44 years until Jan. 2, 1985 when a fire caused irrepa-rable damage to the building. Msgr. Thomas Frain and parishioners set about building the present church with a capacity for 750 worshipers. The congregation has grown from a few Catholic families in 1891 to its current enrollment of 2,600 families.

New buyer ready to make old school musicInstrument restorer buys 1825 schoolhouse at auction

By Lynn RoBBinS

The historic schoolhouse at Marshalls Cor-ner has a new owner and a new lease on life.

The mid-19th-century building was sold to Lawrence resident Curt Wilson for $75,000 at the July 11 auction at the Hopewell munic-ipal building.

“This is a once-in-a lifetime opportunity for a historical building,” Wilson said.

The auction, conducted by Max Spann Real Estate and Auction Company, solved the township’s dilemma of wanting to pre-serve the schoolhouse but not having funds to do it. Township Historic Preservation Commission chair Max Hayden said the deed to the property Wilson purchased requires that the building be returned to its original condition.

“The … commission is anxious to get this building into private hands that will restore the building to its former glory and make it useful again,” Hayden said the day of the auction.

According to “Hopewell: A Historical Geography,” available at the municipal cen-ter, the schoolhouse is the second building to have been erected at its current site on the north side of Pennington-Hopewell Road

to the east of the intersection. It was built in 1825 and eventually served School District 11, operating as a school into the 20th cen-tury, until about 1930.

After that, it was used as a home base for the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Asso-ciation and as a meeting place for the Lions Club and other organizations. The building, which sits on three-quarters of an acre, has not been used for several years.

Wilson plans to bring the building back to life as a studio for his hobby and part-time business: repairing vintage guitars. He sees the schoolhouse as an ideal setting. Having grown up in Chicago, a town famous for its architecture, Wilson has a deep apprecia-tion for design and historical buildings. He is drawn to Hopewell for its commitment to open spaces and the environment, and his-torical preservation.

The fact that the building was originally used for a school is a big plus to Wilson, whose wife teaches in the Hopewell Valley school district. Wilson said his father-in-law once taught in a one-room schoolhouse.

“I like to keep the chalkboard on the wall,” Wilson said.

Friends have asked Wilson if he plans to hold guitar classes at the studio or give tours of the property. Although he’s open to these possibilities, he said it’s too soon to make a commitment. As an owner of a paint and body shop supply company, Wilson said his schoolhouse activities will be limited to part-time hours.

Another consideration for Wilson is the deed restrictions and zoning laws. Wilson said he would seek approval from the town of Hopewell before making any plans.

“I want to be an asset to the community, not a liability,” Wilson said.

Restoring the building will take some work. Wilson’s goal is to have the critical

work completed by this winter, which will involve replacing the roof and floors, and installing a ventilation system. Wilson also plans to restore the chimney stack, remove the front wood clapboard section, replace the existing outside entrance with the door made in 1825, and replace the windows with hand-blown glass.

Other work includes a small addition to the building. His estimate for restoring the property is between $150,000 to $175,000.

“I intend to meet or exceed the historic commission’s expectations” Wilson said.

Lack of transit a key residential concernLack of public transportation was one of

several key concerns of Mercer County resi-dents named in the results of the community health assessment July 18.

The Greater Mercer Public Health Spon-sorship—four community hospitals, eight local health departments and United Way of Greater Mercer County—has been working to lead a community health planning effort to improve the health of Mercer County residents.

Several key overarching themes and con-clusions were also determined:

There is a wide variation in Mercer County in population composition and socio-economic levels, but affordability was a key concern across the entire spectrum of popu-lation groups.

Residents repeatedly discussed that their communities had limited walkability and a lack of public transportation services, result-ing in an environment which has affected some residents’ quality of life, stress level

and ease of accessing services.The elderly were identified as a vulnerable

population whose concerns stand to be exac-erbated by the projected population growth in the region. Substance use and mental health were considered growing, pressing concerns, and one in which the current ser-vices were not necessarily addressing com-munity needs.

Physical activity, healthy eating and obe-sity are issues, especially as chronic condi-tions are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. While strong health care exists in the region, vulnerable populations encoun-tered continued difficulties in accessing pri-mary care services.

Residents viewed prevention as critical, but emphasized that the health care sys-tem focused more on clinical care and dis-ease management. Numerous services, resources and organizations are working in the county to try to meet the population’s health and social service needs.

Burger Mania to celebrate sizzle of summerBy nicoLe MaLczan

Competitors in the annual Burger Mania will be firing up the grills again Aug. 4 at Mercer County Park during an event that features food, music and a cash prize for the winning burger.

Brian Rostron’s soccer career was not defi ned by numbers.

If it was, he would not be getting ready for his fi rst season as the Lawrence High School boys’ varsity soccer coach.

At Hamilton High West, Rostron scored less than 20 goals in a four-year varsity career, and his high was eight as a senior. And yet the center-midfi elder earned All-County status and was the Hornets’ Most Valuable Player three times.

At The College of New Jersey, Rostron was moved to center-back and scored six career goals, fi ve on penalty kicks. He was also a four-year starter, served as captain his senior year and was a member of the Verizon All-Academic and All-American teams.

Obviously, his goal output was secondary.

Rostron wasn’t supposed to be a fi nisher. He was a starter.

“They put me back there because they said I could read the game well,” he said. “I could pick off passes and get the game started from the back.”

Those are often the type of players who make good coaches – guys who see the fi eld, understand what is in front of them and know what to do about the situation.

Rostron, whose father Bob is a member of the Steinert Athletic Hall of Fame for his outstanding soccer career, has been preparing for his new job the past eight years.

After graduating from TCNJ in 2003, he student taught at Lawrence Intermediate School and then got a job teaching special education at the high school. He coached the Cardinals JV team for six years, took a year off to assist Charlie Inverso at Mercer County Community College as a coach, and returned to the Lawrence JV last year.

When varsity coach PJ Barrett stepped down to become a vice-principal, Rostron had numerous supporters pushing him for the varsity job.

When he got the position, it was a dream come true.

“When I started coaching at Lawrence under Keith Fithen, that was something I had on my mind then,” he said.

“When I was playing, I always thought I wanted to be a pro player. As you get to col-lege you realize there’s a fair amount of tal-ent out there, so I realized that wasn’t work-

Former Hamilton soccer star named Cardinals’ new varsity boys coach

ing. That’s one of the reasons I went to TCNJ, to be a teacher with hopes of coaching.”

Rostron has had the benefi t of playing for some of the top coaches in New Jersey. It started with his father, who was an assistant at Rider for numerous years.

“He was my fi rst coach,” Rostron said. “He’s my soccer idol. And my mom (Mary) and sister (Amy) have been great support-ers for me in soccer.”

Rostron began playing in the Hamilton Recreation League and moved on to the Hamilton Travel League. As a teenager, he began playing travel ball in Princeton.

“I got to a certain age, and I needed to branch out,” he said.

His coaches then became the legendary Manfred Schellscheidt, former U.S. National Team coach Bob Bradley and current Princ-eton University coach Jim Barlow. It was like a coaching murderer’s row.

“One of the reasons I went to play there is because I think a lot of players that played under Bob and Jimmy that ended up not playing later on still coached,” Ros-tron said. “I don’t know if it was because we were coached by such good coaches, but 75 percent of the people I talked to that played for them are coaching.”

Rostron said the greatest lessons he learned from his mentors is to “let the game

be the teacher.”“If you explain things about the game,

players will pick up those things,” Rostron said. “And you coach based on what hap-pened in the game.”

While coaching JV, Rostron’s main goal was to prepare players for varsity. Wins and losses were secondary to how many guys he could groom to play for Fithen and Barrett.

“I would say PJ and I had very similar coaching philosophies,” Rostron said. “We like to let the players learn from game, and we like to step on the fi eld and show what needs to be fi xed. We both like to play pos-sessive attacking soccer instead of kicking the ball and running after it.

“As JV coach, I just started to realize that the players you’re working with, maybe they’ll only be around soccer for two or three months. So you have to focus on technique and tactics that make them good players for those three months.”

And with that philosophy, the former on-fi eld starter is ready to start a new chapter in his life.

Lawrenceville Swimming Association achieves PASDA perfectionBy Rich FiSheR

When it comes to perfection, the Law-renceville Swimming Association had it all during the Princeton Area Swimming and Diving Association’s regular season.

LSA went 5-0 in swim meets and 5-0 in div-ing meets in Division I, which is the most competitive division in PASDA. Lawrencev-ille also won the West Windsor Mini Meet for swimmers, and the diving team won the PASDA championships on July 18-19.

Lawrenceville also had high hopes for the swim championships the last week in July, after this edition went to press.

“They have exceeded my expectations in both our win/loss record and the improve-ment of the swimmers,” said Andrea Tun-nard, who is co-swim coach of the team along with Jeff Verga. “Several relay records have been broken this season, reflecting the combined effort of many of our swimmers.”

Diving coach Kirk LeCompte was just as complimentary about his team.

“They showed amazing commitment, sportsmanship and team spirit this sum-mer,” LeCompte said after LSA won the PASDA championship. “They worked hard for their coaches and cheered on both their teammates and their opponents, without ever forgetting why diving is so much fun. As a coach, I couldn’t be more proud of their performance.”

Tunnard is a former Lawrence High

standout who currently attends the Uni-versity of San Diego, while Verga is a sixth-grade math teacher at Lawrence Interme-diate School who swam for The College of

New Jersey. LHS senior Peter Finnerty is an assistant swim coach.

LeCompte is the head diving coach, assisted by Madison Kramer and Adam LeCompte, who is a rising seventh-grader at Lawrence Middle School and Kirk’s son.

Lawrence’s swimmers were led in points this year by the 10-and-under boys, eight-and-under girls, 14-and-under girls and six-and-under boys and girls, but Tunnard notes it has been a total team effort.

“We have a very young team of hard-work-ing and dedicated swimmers, many of whom train year round,” Tunnard said. “We have good attendance at practice and meets. The kids are very focused on improving their personal times as well as scoring points for our team.”

With well over 100 participants in the program, Tunnard notes that Lawrenceville gets a nice blend of experience.

“We get a mixture of club, recreation team and beginning swimmers,” she said. “Every

year we have swimmers brand new to the sport who end up learning all four strokes and swimming competitive times. Having a group of very high achieving swimmers for our beginners to learn from is definitely an asset.”

And while LSA has enjoyed an outstand-ing season in wins and losses, Tunnard says winning isn’t everything.

“Our primary focus is for the swimmers to have fun and build LSA team spirit,” she said. “We are also focused on improving stroke technique and endurance. We love to find new drills and practice them with the swimmers to challenge them. Winning meets is a bonus for us.”

Tunnard didn’t wish to single anyone out, citing the success as an entire team effort. The complete swim roster was as follows:

5-year-old: Maria Madigan, Alexis Ramos.

6-year-old: Hailey Adamsky, Robert Hartmann, Elizabeth Holland, Natalie Will-ner, James Tziarri-Over,

7-year-old: Ford Collins, Krish Desph-pande Jessica Everman, Charlotte Hunter, Samantha Gunton, Katie Laitusis, Benjamin Lovvoll, Eliza Meth, Noam Rios, Isabella Sagarese, Megan Simpson, Matthew Smith, John Teti, Mary Teti, Lydia Zeleznik.

Former Steinert standout, now DeSales graduate, joins elite clubBy MaRy ann TaRR

Kenny Ridge, the former Steinert High standout, has been awarded an NCAA Post-graduate Scholarship, as announced July 2.

Recently graduated from DeSales Univer-sity in Center Valley, Pa., and already enrolled in Villanova University law school, Ridge will begin pursuing a law degree with a focus on sport & entertainment law beginning this fall.

The scholarship is one of just 29 handed out to male student-athletes on a spring sports team across all divisions. The NCAA awards up to 174 postgraduate scholarships annually, 87 for men and 87 for women. The scholarships are awarded to student-athletes who excel academically and athletically and who are in their final year of intercollegiate athletics competition. Grants of $7,500 each are awarded for fall sports, winter sports and spring sports. The scholarships are one-time, non-renewable grants.

Ridge, DeSales’ Co-Male Scholar Athlete of the Year, graduated with a 3.75 cumulative grade-point average this spring as a double major in sports management and market-ing. He was a three-year standout at second base on the baseball team earning multiple honors during his senior year including All-Freedom Conference First Team, ABCA All-Region Third Team and Capital One Aca-demic All-District First Team.

He finished the season batting .368, rank-

ing second on the team in hits (60) and runs scored (38), while also ranking third in dou-bles (9) and RBIs (26). He also tied for the team lead with 20 stolen bases and had a .953 fielding percentage at second base with just 11 errors in 232 chances and turning 28 double plays.

Ridge finished his career with 110 hits (tied for 41st on the school’s all-time list), 83 runs scored (31st), and 39 stolen bases in just three years of playing time. He also ranks seventh among the DeSales leaders with an .830 (39-for-47) stolen base percentage and 10th with 258 assists. Other career numbers include a .320 batting average, 18 doubles and 47 walks.

Jonathan Scott of Princeton still catchng on in baseball

Former prep standout Jonathan Scott of Princeton helped the Bryant University base-ball team to a 33-21 season, including the regular-season championship of the NEC (24-

8). Scott was the starting catcher in big non-conference wins over Liberty (where he hit a key late-inning home run) and Connecticut, and he caught both ends of the conference-clinching doubleheader on the final weekend.

A former captain of the Princeton Day School squad, who led the Panthers to the 2010 Prep B title, Scott played in 29 games as a sophomore at Bryant. He batted .255 with 12 RBI. He had a .391 OBP (second highest on the team) and a .436 slugging percent-age (fourth). Platooning at his position, he handled 110 chances in the field without an error and threw out six baserunners.

Bryant had the most wins in New England and was voted third in the NEIBA Coaches Poll. Bryant will be eligible for the NCAA tournament play next year as it completed its transition into Division I.

This summer, Scott is a member of the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League team in Little Falls, N.Y., the Mohawk Valley DiamondDawgs.

Lawrence High grad shines on Wesley diamond

Geoff Kimmel of Lawrenceville was named to the American Baseball Coaches Association/Rawlings 2012 All-South Region Second Team.

As a first baseman at Wesley College in Dover, Del., Kimmel led the Capital Athletic Conference with a .425 average, 54 runs bat-ted in and a .495 on-base percentage. He recorded school single-season records for hits (74), doubles (15) and total bases (110).

He also led his team with three triples and was second with five home runs. He ranked

No. 1 in the following percentages: .632 slug-ging, 495 on-base, and 995 fielding .

Kimmel is the Wesley all-time leader in games played (165), runs batted in (155) and doubles (45) and second in hits (213) while also ranking the leaders in runs scored (110).

As a senior, he helped lead the Wolverines to the most wins in school-history with 31 in 2012 and a runner-up performance in the ECAC South Tournament.

The Lawrence High alumnus also was named to the CAC All-Academic Team.

Ewing resident swimmingly finishes sophomore season

Douglas Ranson of Ewing led the Miseri-cordia Univerrsity men’s swim team to its best finish ever with a second-place showing at the Middle Atlantic Conference Champion-ships. The former Notre Dame High stand-out won individual titles in personal-record times in the 100 (59.48) and 200 (2:10.43) breaststrokes and helped the 200 and 400 medley relay teams to MAC crowns as well. In addition, he finished eighth in the 50 free-style (22.47) and was honored with an Athlete of the Month award with the Cougars.

Monitor moles for unusual changes

Concerned about your health? Experts from Robert Wood Johnson University Hos-pital Hamilton are ready to answer readers’ questions. Send your questions to [email protected].

Q. I’m concerned about several moles on my body. When should I see a doctor?

A. Most adults have between 10 and 45 moles on their bodies. While they are com-mon, moles—and all areas of your skin—should be monitored for unusual changes.

Melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer, can often be seen as a change in an existing mole or a new, pigmented or unusual growth. Melanomas can develop anywhere on your body, even the soles of your feet, palms of your hands and fingernail beds.

If you’re concerned about moles or marks on your skin, be sure to visit your primary care physician. He or she can answer your questions or refer you to a dermatologist if needed. A dermatologist may remove your suspicious mole or growth and have it ana-lyzed by a pathologist to accurately diagnose melanoma.

Your family physician can also give you advice on whether you should consider peri-odic screening for skin cancer, such as a skin exam by a trained professional who con-ducts a head-to-toe inspection of your skin.

In addition, your family physician will likely recommend self-screening, because it is a good prevention tool. It can help you learn what your moles and skin normally look like so you are able to notice any changes. Normal moles are generally a uni-form color such as tan, brown or black and the size of a pencil eraser. They are usually oval or round and have a distinct border separating the mole from your skin. Moles that grow in size, change in color or shape, or become itchy, irritated or bleed should be evaluated by a doctor.

To protect your skin, avoid too much time in direct sunlight during the day when the sun is strongest. Wear protective clothing, such as a wide-brimmed hat, and apply a “broad-spectrum” or “full-spectrum” sun-screen designed to protect you from harmful ultraviolet radiation (UVA and UVB). Your sunscreen should include any of these ingre-dients: avobenzone, cinoxate, ecamsule, menthyl anthranilate, octyl methoxycinna-mate, octyl salicylate, oxybenzone or suliso-benzone. It can be used year-round and should be applied to all exposed skin. In the summer, use a sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30 and apply generously 30 minutes before outdoor activities and reapply every two hours or more frequently if needed.

See a doctor if you notice any changes to your skin that worry you, and be sure to take preventative steps to decrease your skin can-cer risk.

Ask The Vet Specialist

Pets CornerFrequent sneezing could be a sign of nasal irritatation

Got a question about your pet? Experts from NorthStar VETS 24-hour emergency veterinary center in Robbinsville are ready to answer readers’ questions. Send your ques-tions to [email protected].

Q. We have a one-year-old female cat (we think is a Bengal) that has been spayed. Her belly seems to be fat and loose, and it sways side to side when she walks. The location is around her rear legs. She’s not a fat cat by any means; it’s just in the location described. Is this

normal?A. This phenomenon is fairly common.

Although your cat may not be outwardly obese, this is generally where cats will start to put on weight before showing weight gain in other areas of the body. It’s similar to how some people develop “love handles” but would not be considered overweight. You may want to consider reducing the amount you feed your cat by approximately 10-15 percent.

Q. My dog is almost 10 years old. Are there any signs of age-related diseases I should keep an eye out for as she gets older?

A. Most of the signs and symptoms that arise from age-related illness are similar to those of younger animals as well: vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite or general mal-aise/lethargy. Many age-related diseases like kidney failure, diabetes and even some cancers can cause an increase in thirst and an increase in urinations; if you see such signs, your primary veterinarian may rec-ommend some blood tests or imaging tests like radiographs (X-rays) or ultrasound. It is

also a good idea to consider having geriat-ric screening blood tests with your annual physical examinations. You should discuss age-related screening tests with your pri-mary veterinarian as well.

Q. My dog has been sneezing con-stantly for the past three days. Could she have allergies, or could something else be irritating her nose?

A. Both situations are definitely pos-sible. We often see physical objects like plant material (i.e. blades of grass) or other mechanical and chemical irritants that can cause sneezing and irritation. Such a sud-den onset that seems to be markedly affect-ing your dog might be more consistent with something caught in the nose. We would recommend that you schedule an appoint-ment with your primary veterinarian to have your pet examined.

We also frequently see allergies in dogs that can be seasonal or year-round aller-gies to many of the same things that people are allergic to, like pollens and grasses or carpet fibers and dust. However, constant sneezing is a less frequent sign of allergies

in dogs. More frequent signs are chewing at the paws, itchiness and reverse sneezing.

Q. What are some ways I can help my dog cope with the summer heat?

A. Coping with summer heat can be dif-ficult for us as well as our pets, and most of the same strategies apply. Air condition-ing and limited time outside in the sun on very hot days are obviously the easiest strategies and certainly make sense. Swim-ming can be great exercise and help to cool your pet as well if your pet enjoys this, or simply giving your pet a nice cool bath can also help. Some long haired dogs do benefit from a grooming appointment to reduce the amount of hair, but this should be done with caution. To avoid sunburns, the hair should not be cut too short.

gardening adventuresGardening myths revealedBy cRaig Dupee

Throughout the years, I have heard many gardening tips, some of which them are true. But most of them, passed down for generations in some cases, are only half true or false.

Some well-established gardening advice has been misconstrued or is no longer rel-evant due to the ever changing horticulture theory and techniques related to the present day green industry. The following are some gardening tips that have been demystified over past years.

Some say to get sweeter tomatoes, you should add sugar to the planting hole. This is false.

Plants cannot absorb sugar from the soil. Plants make natural sugar called glucose through the process of photosynthesis. The sugar content of a plant is predetermined by the plant’s genetics.

My grandmother always told me to plant peas and potatoes on St. Patrick’s Day. This may be true for her, since she lived most of her life in the area. But within the United States, there are several different hardiness zones, and the last frost date changes every year.

Planting a vegetable garden should be based on the hardiness zone and your last frost date, provided by your agriculture extension service.

When I was in college and working for a large landscape company in the ’80s, it was standard procedure to stake and guy-wire newly planted trees. The recommended practice today is to only stake and guy-wire a tree if it is on a slope or in a windy location.

When trees sway in the wind they are enabling the development of stronger, sta-bilizing roots. If you stake a tree, it may become dependent on this support, prevent-ing the root system from becoming strong and healthy.

One of my pet peeves is, after a tree has been staked for several years, the tree ends up supporting the stakes because the stakes have rotted in the ground and were not removed in a timely fashion.

My wife and I had visited a garden in Phil-adelphia to judge for the city garden contest with the Pennsylvania Horticulture Society.

The vegetable garden was outstanding. We talked with the gardener, a gentleman who spoke mostly Italian and had his daughter there to translate.

We were told the reason that his toma-toes were doing so well was because he put crushed egg shells into the planting hole when he planted his tomatoes. This is true. Crushed egg shells help prevent blossom end rot in tomatoes because they provide calcium to the fruit.

The gardener also sprinkled egg shells around his garden to prevent slug damage. Again true. Slugs do not like to crawl over the jagged surface of sharp eggshells.

Most people think that organic pesticides are safer than synthetic ones. I always say to make sure you read the label and follow the directions. Organic pesticides do have less impact on the environment, but they are still a tool and must be handled with care. It is best to choose the least toxic control option available when using a pesticide.

If you misuse a pesticide — be it organic or synthetic — it could still be harmful. Pyrethrum is considered an organic pes-ticide made from chrysanthemums, but can be toxic to pets and people if handled improperly.

I remember my dad pruning trees around our property when I was younger, and he would always paint or spray a black tar-like substance called pruning paint on the new cut. He said it would prevent insects and fun-gus from entering the newly cut wood.

It has been found that this treatment can hasten the spread of fungus to the tree’s heartwood. The paint or tar will hold mois-ture near the new wound, which will allow the various fungal decay organisms to grow. The best way to treat any new pruning is to make a clean cut just above the branch collar and leave it alone.

When pruned properly, trees can take advantage of their natural defense mecha-nisms to stave off most decay organisms.

“A weed is a plant that is not only in the wrong place, but intends to stay.” —Sara Stein, My Weeds (1988)
