Construction at Lidl continues; grand opening expected for the summer The Lidl grocery store at the Lawrence Shopping Center is expected to open this summer, and a grand opening date – which has not yet been set – will be announced as the project nears completion.

That’s the word from Lidl spokesman Chandler Ebeier.

Work on the Lidl grocery store has begun to pick up in the last few months. The blue and yellow “Lidl” corporate sign has been installed above the main entrance, which is a glass-enclosed lobby.

Renovation work has occurred in spurts since demolition on the vacant space began in August 2020.

The former ACME grocery store space had been empty since 2018, when the store’s lease expired at the shopping center at 2495 Brunswick Pike.

Lidle signed a lease for the nearly 40,000-square-foot store in August 2019.

The new Lidl grocery store will occupy one of 49 retail spaces at the Lawrence Shopping Center, which is anchored by Staples and the Burlington Coat Factory. An updated sign at the Brunswick Pike entrance to the shopping center lists Lidl, AutoZone, Dollar Tree and several other businesses.

Across the parking lot from the Lidl grocery store, ironworkers have been erecting the steel framework on top of the foundation of the former Wells Fargo Bank building.

The former bank building was dismantled in preparation for a Starbucks coffee shop and an Aspen Dental practice. It is not known when the work will be completed and the businesses will open their doors.

Lidl, Starbucks and Aspen Dental are joining the growing list of businesses that have begun to fill the shopping center. Several stores have leased space and opened their doors for business in the past two years.

The Dollar Tree discount store, which opened in August 2020, moved across Brunswick Pike from its former location. The store occupied about 11,000 square feet.

The AutoZone automotive parts store has opened for business. It is located next to the Dollar Tree store. The two businesses occupy part of the space that was formerly occupied by the CVS drug store chain.

Construction at the Lidl grocery store in the Lawrence Shopping Center is ongoing.

The Island Sports Bar and Grill opened for business in late 2020 in the space that was occupied by the Fusion House restaurant. Next door to the Island Bar and Grill is the Heavenly Hounds dog training

business.

City Electric Supply, which is a wholesale electric supply company, has taken over the space that formerly housed the R&S Strauss auto supply store in the same one-story

LEA KAHN/STAFF

building as Island Sports Bar and Grill and Heavenly Hounds.

New Jersey Camera, the Cafe du Pain bakery and Plato’s Closet, which sells trendy, second-hand clothing for teenagers and young

adults, have opened their doors for business.

The former Huffman Koos furniture store was demolished in January 2020 to make way for the construction of the LA Fitness gym, but that project has been put on hold.

The parking lot has been paved.

There are still a few vacant store fronts, and signs advertising their availability have been taped to the storefront windows.

The 393,430-square-foot Lawrence Shopping Center was purchased by JJ Operating Inc. for $16.2 million in December 2016, according to the Lawrence Township Tax Assessor’s Office.

The prior owner, wbcmt 2007c33 Brunswick Pike LLC, acquired the Lawrence Shopping Center at a Mercer County sheriff’s sale in 2013. Lawrence Center LLC, which owned the shopping center, defaulted on a $39.5 million loan, which led to the sheriff’s sale to pay off the debt.

Lawrence Township Education Foundation awards grants

By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

“Spotlight on Coding” teaches second- and third-graders at the Slackwood Elementary School how to use computer coding.

“Let’s Become an Anti-racist” is a cross-generational community book study initiative for students in kindergarten through sixth grade and their parents. It is centered around the anti-racist writings of I. Kendi.

“Seed Pods for Kids to Grow” provides students with starter seed pods for the greenhouse at the Lawrence Intermediate School, so they can learn about plant development and germination.

Those are among the 25 grants approved by the Lawrence Township Education Foundation during its spring cycle of grant awards to teachers. The grants, which totaled $50,045, were unveiled at the Lawrence Township Public Schools Board of Education’s March 10 meeting.

Karen Faiman, the executive director of the nonprofit organiza-

tion, thanked the teachers and administrators who participated in the spring grant cycle. While she always thanks the applicants, Faiman said, this time they need a special round of applause.

“This has been an insane year.

We did not know what to expect coming in to the 2020-21 school year,” Faiman told the school board, acknowledging the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the schools. “We still got amazing grant applications with amazing ideas – some related to the pandemic and some that are not – that will have an impact on us, if we are in a pandemic or not.”

Faiman told the school board that while it has been a “scary year” for nonprofit groups, businesses and community members continued to make donations to the Lawrence Township Education Foundation.

Overall, the spring grant cycle funded grants that improved both remote and in-person learning, Faiman said. The grants promoted connection during the isolation brought on by the pandemic,

and kept the mid, body and spirit healthy, she said.

Among the other grants that were approved was one to provide literacy training for all grades K-2 teachers in the district, Faiman said.

At the Ben Franklin Elementary School, social justice picture books and Barbie dolls will be purchased to encourage empathy centered around women’s rights, prejudice and bias, disabilities and discovering one’s true self.

Another grant approved for Ben Franklin Elementary will provide money to buy child-sized kitchens, tables and chairs for kindergarten classrooms to encourage play.

The Lawrenceville Elementary School will get tables, a rolling cart, an easel and a storage shed for an outdoor classroom. Another grant will provide a virtual field trip for the third-grade students’ “Animals through Time” science lessons.

At the Eldridge Park School, a grant was approved for a “Wellness Day.” Students will participate in workshops that focus on nutrition, movement and social and emotion-

al health.

A grant will pay for the purchase additional multicultural books for the Lawrence Intermediate School library, supplementing the multicultural books already on the shelves.

Students at the Lawrence Middle School will be treated to a virtual visit with young adult author Scott Reintgen, while another grant will provide a high-powered projector in the auditorium that ensures every student can see the screen.

And at Lawrence High School, grants were approved to provide standing desks for three math classrooms, and updates to the sound equipment that allows for musical analysis of layered and complex music.

The Lawrence Township Education Foundation raises money from individuals, local businesses, corporations and foundations for grants to teachers. The foundation has approved more than 1,000 grants – including the 25 grants in the spring cycle – since its inception in 1992.

Lawrence school district named National District of Character

By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

mittee in the extensive re-application process. The district had to meet the standards outlined in Character. org’s 11 Principles framework.

Among its 11 principles, for example, is Principle 5. It asks the school to provide students with “opportunities for moral accomplishment.” Students learn how to work as part of a team, to negotiate for peaceable solutions, to recognize and resolve ethical dilemmas and identify and meet school and community needs.

Principle 7 helps students to become self-motivated. “‘Character’ means doing the right thing and doing one’s best work, even when no one is looking,” Character.org’s website states.

The Lawrence Township Pub-

Members of the Lawrence Township Public School District, which has been named a National District of Character for 2020, picked up their award at a virtual ceremony on March 5, marking the second time that the school district has earned the national honor.

The Lawrence school district is one of seven public school districts nationwide to receive the honor from Character.org for 2020. The national, nonprofit group works with schools and school districts to help students become ethical and compassionate citizens, according to its website.

The designation of a National District of Character is valid for five years.

The Lawrence Township Public Schools first earned the honor in 2014.

To earn national recognition, a school district must first have been named a State District of Character – an achievement that the Lawrence schools also earned in 2020.

Eldridge Park School Principal Amy Amiett and Lawrence Intermediate School co-Principal Alyson Fischer led the district’s Character Education ComMonday-

lic Schools and the seven schools within the district have worked with Character.org and its predecessor, the Character Education Partnership, for more than a dozen years.

Amiett said character education is not simply an initiative that is touched on occasionally, or something that is done to receive an

award.

“You see character education in the classroom, the hallway and the nurse’s office. It thrives on stage, on the soccer field and at the bus stop,” Amiett said.

Meanwhile, Superintendent of Schools Ross Kasun said the district is “humbled” to receive the honor.

“Our strategic plan focuses on the whole child,” Kasun said in a video that was aired during the March 5 ceremony. “It is a priority through academic and social emotional growth to foster our students’ capacity to become successful,

Saturday, April 10 to Saturday, May 8

The Arts Council of Princeton will present “A Voice to be Heard” on view in their Taplin Gallery from April 10 to May 8, exploring the idea of the inner voice and the ongoing search for meaning.

Curator Maria de Los Angeles will be featured in an In Conversation virtual artist talk on at 7 p.m. April 13. Free registration is available at artscouncilofprinceton.org.

Joyce Kozloff in her series “girlhood” visually collaborated with her younger self through using childhood drawings in her current work that reflect on her education, and perception of the world.

Maria de Los Angeles exposes the internalized dialogue and external narratives surrounding migration through humor, story, facts and allegory.

Martha Tuttle turns her attention to the sublime, finding inspiration in the vast space of the west, its’ almost invisible processes and moments, and the relationship of her physicality to place reflected through process.

Buket Savci explains, “I explore abundance versus emotional craving. Observing both the loneliness and need for attention, accompanied with consumerism frenzy globally.”

Adam Moss takes a quieter look at human connection through portraiture of friends and family considering the psychology of the self and implication of the gaze.

That need to collect memories of experiences is visible in the work of Ryan Bonilla, who through photography captures the spontaneity of everyday life in his culture.

Shelter Serra looks at society for its voice, the role of technology, and of production.

Brooklyn-based artist, designer, filmmaker Frenel Morris creates lucid, intimate paintings capturing simulacrum in seemingly ordinary objects to deliver a vivid copy of reality.

Gallery hours are from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Rider University promises employment or grad school through new program such as the hiring of additional career coaches, according to the statement.

“Rider has built a robust student support system that reflects our unwavering commitment to helping students in their quest to earn a rewarding education and lasting career success,” Kim Barberich, executive director of

Career Development and Success, said in the statement. “The Cranberry Investment is an important next step that ensures we will do that to the best of our abilities.”

Princeton Junior School expands

a family friend of Clark’s. His contribution is the single largest donation to the school, which was founded by Juliana McIntyre Fenn and Helen Craven in 1983 in a church basement in Princeton.

The Princeton Junior School quickly outgrew its space in the church basement, and expanded to three locations while it searched for a permanent home, Pottinger said. The school identified the former William Phillips Tavern property as the ideal location for a new school campus – except for one detail, she said.

The historic house could not be used as a school, so an arrangement was made to buy the property in conjunction with a family that was interested in buying it for their home, she said. The family bought the 10acre parcel and sold seven acres to the Princeton Junior School.

The Princeton Junior School, which has frontage on Route 206 and Fackler Road, gained approval from Lawrence Township to build its school on the seven-acre parcel.

The schoolhouse resembles a barn, with classroom wings fanning out from it. Each classroom opens to the outside to encourage a connection to the natural surroundings, Pottinger said.

Thanks to contributions from donors, Pottinger said, the Princeton Junior School is expanding its facilities to include a new sports pavilion that will be completed in the spring; a performing arts center; a STEM shop; and possibly a swimming pool, she said.

The Performing Arts Center, which is expected to open in the fall, will include professional theater space and a dance hall, plus a backstage bungalow and lobby, Pottinger said. The theater will be located in a barn on the campus, and named the Hana N. Ginzbarg Playhouse in memory of Ginzbarg’s mother.

Rider University will now guarantee undergraduates who fulfill requirements an entry-level job.

Rider University launched a new program on April 2 that guarantees undergraduate students who fulfill their responsibilities will obtain an entry-level job related to their field of study or be accepted into graduate or professional school within six months of graduation.

Called the Cranberry Investment – cranberry refers to Rider’s primary school color – the program reinforces the university’s longstanding commitment to providing transformative student experiences that lead to career success.

“Students who invest in a Rider education should feel confident that we are going to do everything within our power to make sure they reach their full potential,” Gregory G. Dell’Omo, Ph.D., Rider’s president, said in a prepared statement. “The Cranberry Investment symbolizes our deeply held belief that a Rider University education allows students to achieve their professional dreams.”

According to a recent study by the Office of Career Development and Success, 9 of every 10 Rider alumni are employed, in graduate school or volunteering within a year of graduation.

To reach the goal set forth by the Cranberry Investment, Rider will support current students, prior to graduation, by helping them to find internships, co-ops, field work and other professional opportunities, according to the statement.

For any eligible student who does not

acquire an entry-level position in their field of study or acceptance into graduate or professional school within six months of graduation, Rider will provide focused career coaching and/or either additional undergraduate coursework (up to nine credits for free) or a paid internship to gain experience in their field of study, according to the statement.

Undergraduate students graduating in the Class of 2022 and thereafter who meet specific program requirements are eligible to participate. Other requirements of eligibility are determined by factors such as overall GPA and completing certain workshops or courses offered through Rider’s office of Career Development and Success.

The Cranberry Investment works hand in glove with other Rider programs designed to promote career success, such as the Engaged Learning Program and Lifting Barriers.

Rider launched its signature Engaged Learning Program in 2017, which requires every Rider graduate to participate in certain curricular and/or extracurricular experiences.

Last year, a new initiative called Lifting Barriers was announced that set a new goal of 95% of students participating specifically in activities that provide Enriched Career Experiences, such as internships, guided research and performances. Lifting Barriers also included a 22% tuition reduction beginning in the fall of 2021 and introduced new support for career preparation and academic success,

The historic William Phillips Tavern sits in a hollow on a narrow section of road that was part of the King’s Highway – today’s Route 206 – when the house was built in 1734.

The fieldstone house was one of several taverns in Lawrence Township that served food and drink in the tap room, and was home to the tavern-keeper and his family.

Now, the 18th-century house is poised to become the home of the Princeton Junior School’s head of school, Silvana Nazzaro Clark. The school, which is on seven acres of land next to the house, purchased it from the Morgan family last year.

The Princeton Junior School is a private, co-educational school for students in grades K-6, located at 3270 Lawrenceville Road in Lawrence Township. The school is located on property that was once part of the William Phillips Tavern property.

While the main section of the house will become the home for Clark, a wing that was built in the 1990s will be used as an international center for the research and education of children, said Katie Pottinger, the Princeton Junior School’s director of admissions.

“Mrs. Clark’s dream is to bring together a group of highly esteemed researchers and forward thinking educational leaders to bridge educational theory into practice, through a lab school for early childhood and primary education,” Pottinger said.

The type of topics that may be investigated include honing in on childhood as a fundamental time to engage in the arts and how it impacts children’s abilities to express themselves, she said.

It is all part of the expansion of the Princeton Junior School and its campus, thanks to donor Steve Ginzbarg, Pottinger said. He is

Spring ephemerals get their moment in the sun

T

ake a walk in the woods this month and check out the forest floor. There in the dappled sunlight, popping up through last year’s leaves, you may spot the short-lived flowers of native perennials known as “spring ephemerals.”

Spring ephemerals are native woodland wildflowers that bloom during the brief window of time between snowmelt and tree leafout. As the spring sun warms the ground, these cute little plants grow quickly, flower, are pollinated and set seed.

By June, when New Jersey’s forest floors are deeply shaded by a leafy tree canopy, the blossoms will be gone and the plants hard to find.

The season is now for native ephemerals, including spring beauties, bloodroots, yellow trout lilies, rue anemones, Virginia bluebells, Eastern red columbines, Jack-in-the-pulpits, yellow marsh marigolds (cowslips), violets, wild geraniums, trilliums, flowering wintergreens, mayapples (wild mandrakes), Solomon’s seals, moccasin flowers (pink lady’s slippers) and more.

Many of them are small and delicate compared to showy summer flowers, but well worth the search.

Spring beauty blossoms, for instance, are not much larger than a fingernail and have lovely pink stripes on a pale background.

Trout lily flowers are golden yellow bells speckled with spots, much like the fish for which they are named; even their mottled leaves resemble brook trout.

HEALTH MATTERS

If you are walking in a flood plain, you may see colonies of Virginia bluebells, whose magenta flower buds open into tubular blossoms of an exquisite sky blue.

Spring ephemerals – and all native plants – got great news last week when the U.S. Senate voted unanimously to designate April as National Native Plant Month.

This bipartisan resolution, introduced

by U.S. senators Rob Portman (R-OH) and Mazie K. Hirono (D-HI,) highlights the importance of native plants in conservation, environmental restoration and supporting a diversity of wildlife.

The National Native Plant Month resolution notes there are more than 17,000 native plant species in the United States, including trees, shrubs, vines, grasses and wildflowers.

These plants prevent flooding, drought and erosion, and can restore damaged ecosystems. They also provide nectar, pollen and seeds as food for native butterflies, insects, birds and other wildlife in ways that non-native plants cannot.

Dozens of conservation organizations, including the Garden Club of America, the North American Native Plant Society, the National Audubon Society and the National Wildlife Federation got behind the National Native Plant Month designation.

Here in New Jersey, you can participate in celebrating National Native Plant Month.

New Jersey has more than 2,000 native plant species, with nearly 700 considered rare.

Here is what you can do: • Protect the habitats where native plants

grow wild by supporting land conservation efforts. New Jersey has a wide variety of ecosystems, from the flat, sandy terrain of the Pine Barrens to the rugged hills of the Highlands. Each region has its own unique native plant communities. Ask your elected officials to preserve native plant habitats, especially those supporting rare and endangered species.

• Urge your state legislators to bolster protections for New Jersey’s native plants.

The New Jersey Endangered and Threatened Plant Protection Act (A-985) would protect rare plants from intentional damage and sale or transport, and would direct the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to establish an advisory committee to develop plans for protecting and restoring priority species. Another bill (S-83) would encourage New Jerseyans to plant native species.

• Incorporate native plants in your garden and landscapes. You will be rewarded with natural beauty and biodiversity, including abundant birds, butterflies and other pollinating insects. Another huge benefit is that choosing the right native plants means much less maintenance. For help in picking the right native plants for easy care, go to the Jersey-Friendly Yards website at www.jerseyyards.org/ • Support efforts to control invasive, nonnative plants that compete with natives for soil, sunlight and water – but don’t provide their benefits. To learn about invasive plants, how they harm the environment and efforts to eradicate them, visit the New Jersey In-

vasive Species Strike Team website at www. fohvos.info/invasive-species-strike-team/ • Support the efforts of your town or county to reduce deer populations and protect meadows and forests from deer browsing. Overabundant deer herds have been proven to be the greatest threat to New Jersey’s forest regeneration for all native plant species, from trees to shrubs to wildflowers.

The loss of natural forest structure, starting from the ground up, ruins the habitat value and the food chain for everything from butterflies to songbirds to amphibians to predatory birds.

• Avoid using insecticides – especially neonicotinamide-based insecticides – on your lawn or shrubs. Insecticides harm beneficial insects as well as pests, and “neonics” destroy all pollinators, especially bees. Support legislative efforts to ban these harmful substances.

• Teach your children, grandchildren and favorite young people about the importance of native plants. Plan a hike in the woods this month and see who can be first to spot beautiful spring ephemerals. Bring a field guide and see what other native trees, shrubs and plants you can identify.

For help with identification, visit the Native Plant Society of New Jersey website at www.npsnj.org/pages/nativeplants_Native_ Plant_Gallery.html Michele S. Byers is the executive director of the New Jersey Conservation Foundation, Far Hills. She may be reached at info@njconservation.org

Treating Type 1 Diabetes and Eating Disorders

A

lthough the reasons for the connection are not entirely clear, people with type 1 diabetes are almost twice as likely to suffer from an eating disorder than the general population, according to the American Diabetes Association.

When someone has both conditions, complications like diabetic ketoacidosis can become life threatening and longer-term damage can include serious problems, like kidney failure.

Treating both conditions together is paramount to recovery, and careful monitoring is required because the two conditions have different sets of nutritional and medical needs.

Princeton Center for Eating Disorders at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center helps people control their diabetes while addressing

the emotional and behavioral aspects of their eating disorder and teaching the skills needed to establish a healthy lifestyle.

Diabulimia is Common Studies show that up to 35 percent of women with type 1 diabetes restrict insulin in an attempt to manipulate their caloric intake and lose weight at some point in their lives. This dangerous practice is often referred to as diabulimia.

Among women and girls with type 1 diabetes, diabulimia is most common between the ages of 15 and 30, according to the American Diabetes Association. The association notes that there is little to no data on eating disorders in men and boys with type 1 diabetes.

Other risk factors for diabulimia include: • Having a close relative with an eating disorder

CosmeticforDentistry CLASSIC SMILES

• Having a close relative with a mental health disorder • Anxiety, depression and obsessive compulsive disorder • Post-traumatic stress disorder • Perfectionism • Body image dissatisfaction • Being teased or bullied • Loneliness and isolation These risk factors also apply to people who have not been diagnosed with diabetes.

Serious Health Complications Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, enables your body to convert sugar from food into energy. However, if you have type 1 diabetes, your pancreas does not make insulin, requiring you to take insulin every day so your body has enough energy to stay healthy and alive.

Restricting insulin either by not taking it at all or by taking lower than the prescribed dose forces your body to use stored body fat for energy. This leads to high blood sugar levels as well as high levels of ketones, acid

byproducts produced when your body burns fat.

If left untreated, over time diabulimia can lead to a wide range of serious health complications including: • Slow wound healing • Staph and other bacterial infections • Yeast infections • Muscle atrophy • Irregular menstruation • Severe dehydration • Electrolyte imbalance • Retinopathy • Peripheral neuropathy • Kidney disease • Liver disease • Heart disease In addition, diabulimia can lead to ketoacidosis, a condition in which there is too much acid in your blood, causing damage to blood vessels nerves, and organs. In extreme cases, diabetic ketoacidosis can cause organ systems to shut down, resulting in coma or sometimes death.

Red Flags Warning signs of diabulimia include: • Increasing neglect or secrecy surrounding diabetes management • Fear of low blood sugars

Presented by James J. Cally, D.M.D. CHEW, CHEW, CHEW, IT’S THE SMART THING TO DO A lot of thought goes into what we eat, whether it concerns improving our health, creating delicious new recipes, or recreating an old favorite.

However, we rarely think about how we eat, especially not how we chew. Chewing has a tremendous impact on our oral and intestinal health. Its breaks down our food to make it easier to swallow and digest, and it increases the amount of saliva in our mouths. Saliva helps replace the minerals on our teeth and restore and maintain the mouth’s pH balance. It also helps rinse food particles from our teeth, preventing the buildup of bacteria that causes tooth decay. Slowing down and chewing longer creates more beneficial saliva.

Healthy habits create healthy smiles that can change a life forever. Looking for a fullservice dental office providing compassionate, knowledgeable

care in a welcoming, safe environment? Search no further. Many of our patients say they wouldn’t think of going anywhere else for their dental care. Visit us soon to see why and join our ever-growing list of happily smiling patients.

Please e-mail your questions or comments to: drjamescally@yahoo.com P.S. There is no “correct” number of chews when eating.

But making sure whatever you eat is completely pulverized before swallowing can improve dental health.

• Fear that insulin will increase weight • Restricting certain food or food groups to lower insulin dosages • Frequent bouts of nausea or vomiting • Persistent thirst • Frequent urination • Recurring diabetic ketoacidosis or near diabetic ketoacidosis • Low sodium • Low potassium • Frequent urination • Frequent yeast infections • Irregular or lack of menstruation • Deteriorating or blurry vision • Dry hair and skin • Changes in eating habits, refusal to eat with family and friends If you suspect someone you love suffers from diabulimia, seek medical help. The sooner they can get treatment, the better chance they have for recovery.

A Specialized Approach Princeton Center for Eating Disorders offers a multidisciplinary, evidence-based approach for the comprehensive treatment of adolescents 16 and older and adults with type 1 diabetes and an eating disorder.

Care is structured to help patients build the tools and knowledge necessary to work toward recovery from the eating disorder while managing their diabetes independently—skills they will need upon discharge. Overall progress is organized in a tier system, and as patients develop skills in each level, they move toward greater independence.

Treatment includes: • Medical stabilization and care. Patients have onsite access to medical specialists and endocrinologists at Princeton Medical Center upon admission and throughout their stay as needed.

• Psychiatric care. Boardcertified psychiatrists specializing in eating disorder treatment provide individualized behavioral health care and

medication oversight.

• Nursing oversight. Nurses help manage patient care, regularly monitor blood sugar levels, and provide education about diabetes and its management.

• Nutrition management.

Dietitians work with patients to monitor calorie intake and carbohydrate balance while educating them about nutrition needs and menu planning. With this knowledge, patients advance from checking off preselected menu items to writing in their preferences.

• Therapy. Through individual and group therapy, therapists help patients with diabulimia build coping skills, regulate emotions, and manage urges to withhold insulin. The team has developed a system for tracking mood and other parameters, including changes in blood sugar.

• Patient and family education. Diabulimia education is integrated throughout care, with topics like diabetes and nutrition, managing emotional stress, and the impact of blood sugar levels on mood.

Effective communication with family members also is an important component of the program.

A Foundation for Success As patients heal and finetune their skills, they earn back more control of their diabetes management and diet, and by working with their therapists and registered dietitians they build a foundation for success in every day life.

Kasun said the district weaves character education into all of its daily activities.

Each school building has its own unique character education program.

The four elementary schools are enthusiastic about immersing the children in understanding and practicing traits through school themes, character celebration assemblies and community service projects, he said.

“From the Slackwood Elementary School’s ‘Golden Hearts,’ the Eldridge Park School’s ‘Every Person Shines,’ the Ben Franklin Elementary School’s ‘Super Powers’ and the Lawrenceville Elementary School’s ‘Doing Our Best,’ they are the foundation of the students’ social emotional experience in the Lawrence Township Public Schools,” Kasun said.

At Lawrence High School, students are committed to the Cardinal Way, he said. The Cardinal Way fosters a culture of respect, empathy and compassion. The high school’s Peer Leadership Program allows students to connect as a community.

“We are humbled to be named a National District of Character, as we know the true value of the work that comes through generations of students that we motivated to become productive citizens of the world,” Kasun said.

And it’s very economical Peter Perrotta down to the nearest dealership on gas.

But one is not going to buy a Kicks exfour-speed manual transmission, was fun to drive. It stuck to the road like glue. However, pecting it to have muscle car like perforit turned out to be a mechanical disaster. It mance.

The Kicks is a utilitarian-like vehicle good for scooting around town with and is easy on the wallet when it comes to gas consumption.

The EPA fuel consumption ratings for the 2021 Kicks give it an overall rating of 33 miles per gallon – 36 mpg on highway driving and 31 mpg in city driving.

The EPA estimates that the annual average fuel cost for driving a Kicks is an impressive $1,250, as it uses a miserly 3 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven.

Overall, after driving this Kicks for one week, I ended up liking it for what it is and putting up with it for what it isn’t.

It’s a good-looking front wheel drive, compact crossover that lags in power, but makes up for it in its versatility for around town driving.

The inside ergonomics are adequate. It’s a bit snug on the fit – I am six-foot tall – but not so snug that it makes it an uncomfortable ride.

The base price of the SR Kicks model I tested is $21,940. However, with added options my Kicks tester carried a bottom like sticker price of $27,075.

Added options included: $1,200 or the premium package; $495 for black alloy 17-

inch wheels; $575 for an ambient lighting package; $595 for the premium two-tone exterior paint; $460 for illuminated kick plates; $225 for carpeted floor mats and cargo mat; $435 for a roof rack and spoiler and $1,150 for destination charges.

The premium package includes: an upgraded Bose, 8 speaker sound system; heated seats and steering wheel; security system; a tonneau cover; Sirius radio and a Wi-Fi hot spot.

The Kicks overall rating in the government’s Five Star safety crash test ratings comes in at four stars out of a possible five.

It received five stars on the side crash test but only three for the front driver test and four for the front passenger test. It got a four-star rating on the rollover test.

The folks over at Car and Driver give the Kicks high marks for being peppy around town, having a spacious cabin and generous standard equipment.

They gave it low marks for being anemic at highway speeds, having a noisy engine and in need of more storage cubbies.

New added features for this year’s Kicks – a model that Nissan first introduced in 2016 – include: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; a standard 7-inch screen with a new 8-inch touch screen for the SV and SR models; a redesigned bolder front grille; new wheel designs; rear disc brakes for the SV and SR, and an array of bold new color options and twotone combinations.

The Kicks is available in three trim levels, the base S, mid-level SV and top of the line SR. I found the interior buttons and switches on the Kicks easy enough to operate. The infotainment system, while not all that sophisticated, was adequate, and the Android Auto system worked quite well for navigation.

Like most of the cars these days, I found the voice command recognition system a bit frustrating at times as it made me repeat my commands sometimes.

However, overall, I would recommend considering the Kicks if you are in the market for a fairly inexpensive compact crossover or SUV.

Q

. Where did you grow up?

A. I grew up in Rockaway NJ in a lake community called White Meadow Lake which is in Morris County.

After high school, I attended Ramapo College of New Jersey in Bergen County to obtain my Bachelor Degree in Business. I purchased by first condo in Middlesex County and now I live and raise my family in Hillsborough in Somerset County. I love Hillsborough and it’s central location to everything. I’m a life-long Jersey Girl at heart and understand the demographics and housing market in different communities.

Q

. What do you see in the future for Real Estate sales and prices?

A. In my 25 years of selling real estate, I have seen markets swing in varying degrees. I have sold in buyers’ markets and sold in sellers’ markets. Although it is very hard to predict the future, the real estate market has been very strong the last couple of years. Interest rates are at an alltime low so many first-time homebuyers are trying to get into the market. I also see an increase in the number of investors looking to enter the market.

Q

. What do you enjoy doing when you are not working?

A. In addition to being with my family, I like to stay active by working out, biking and walking. I also recently completed my first Rugged Maniac race. For the past 10

years, I was a volunteer for the Fresh Air Fund where I was the chairperson for all of Somerset and Hunterdon County. I was responsible for recruiting families to host inner-city children for summer vacations. We were also a host family and enjoyed having kids at our house all summer.

Q

. What are the top 3 things that separate you from your competition?

A. First, I take a very honest and comprehensive look at my client’s situation, family, financial goals, and the marketplace. Next, I build a relationship with my client and embrace their goals as my own. Finally, I accept a high level of responsibility for my clients’ satisfaction and achievement of these goals.

Q

. How long have you worked in real estate?

A. I started in the mortgage business after college and decided to transition to real estate in 1992. I worked as a sales associate with the Top Producing Agent at Prudential NJ Properties. We were the #1 Award Winning Sales Team in the entire company. I switched to Keller Williams Realty in 2013 and have been a Top Producing Agent as well as the Director of Agent Services. I was also involved in the New Agent Mentoring and Training Program.

Q

. What is your specialty?

A. I love working with first time homebuyers.

There is nothing more rewarding than helping someone purchase their first home. I also work with investors. I have invested in many properties 2230 Route 206, myself, I’m currently a landlord and I have successfully Belle Mead, NJ 08502 flipped homes. This gives me the experience and 908-359-0893 insight into these markets. In addition, I also sell in a lot in adult communities since many of my clients are downsizing.
