When rising Robbinsville High School senior Arnav Janeesh first became interested in quantum physics, he realized the resources needed to learn the subject were highly decentralized, making it hard for beginners to grasp the complex material.
He decided to fix the problem himself, authoring a multi-volume e-book series designed to help people without a physics background understand the basics of quantum theory.
“I’ve met so many people interested in learning more about quantum physics, as well as quantum computing, but they’re scared off by the subject because they don’t know where to start,” Janeesh said.
He added: “My goal with this book series is to lay out the basics so people don’t have to search for the resources themselves.”
The e-book series, titled the “Quantum Science Ebook Series,” currently contains five volumes — a number Janeesh hopes to increase to about 20 in the next few years.
The existing volumes focus on topics such as wave-particle duality, quantum states and quantum entanglement — all key components in the quantum computing advancements currently being made by companies such as Microsoft, according to Janeesh.
The rising senior wrote the books using a wide array of credible sources, including YouTube videos by quantum experts and peer-reviewed academic papers. He then sent drafts to graduate students and professors at institutions worldwide to verify the content.
He credits RHS physics teacher Shannon Wesley for inspiring him to learn more about the subject and

Softball All Stars take state title
BY RICH FISHER
One of Robbinsville’s proudest traditions went into hibernation for two years but returned in all its glory this summer.
On July 20, Robbinsville Little League’s 10-year-old All-Star team won the organization’s first District 12 title since the 12s in 2022 — but it didn’t stop there. The 10s went on to win the Section 3 and state crowns and began pool play in the Mid-Atlan-
tic Regional on Staten Island on July 25. The tournament was scheduled to conclude with a championship game on July 30.
It is the first state title for Robbinsville since the 12-year-olds reached the 2021 World Series. Manager Frank Zadlock hopes his team is continuing that World Series legacy.
“We have a lot of rich history,” Zadlock said. “We have been to six World Series. Hopefully this team can be a part of that history moving forward
— there is no 10-year-old World Series. The future looks strong.
“Hopefully the majority of this team has two more years in Little League. Our success now is not going to make us happy and satisfied. It’s going to motivate us, knowing we can grow and get better and have further development and continue that rich tradition.”
Robbinsville breezed through the three-team district, outscoring oppo-

“Ms. Wesley was an invaluable mentor for me in this process,” Janeesh said. “She’s been a great supporter since day one, and I appreciate the work she does to make physics enjoyable and accessible for all her students.”
Janeesh was already a strong advocate for expanding quantum physics education before writing the books. With support from Rutgers University and Professor of Computer Science Dr. Mario Szegedy, he founded the Robbinsville Quantum Initiative (RQI), a program designed to introduce younger students to quantum subjects in a fun and approachable way.
a member of the school’s Model U.N., participates in the Science Olympiad Club, and volunteers with various organizations.
“Our district is committed to ensuring our students have access to subjects and programs that will help them prepare for careers that will be impactful for a better tomorrow,” Robbinsville Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Patrick Pizzo said. He added, “Quantum physics and quantum computing fall in that category, so I am pleased to see the work Arnav is doing to make these important subjects approachable for all students.”
Janeesh’s e-book series is available for free at quantedu.carrd.co.
The initiative has already expanded beyond Robbinsville High School. Janeesh and RQI are beginning to work with the University of Illinois UrbanaChampaign’s Illinois Physics and Secondary Schools Partnership Program in its mission to grow quantum education at the high school level.
Outside of his scientific pursuits, Janeesh runs on the varsity track team, is

NIGHT OUT continued from Page 4 all 50 states, U.S. territories and military bases worldwide.
Tuesday, Aug. 5, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Robbinsville Township Police Department headquarters.
Spearheaded for the first time by new Police Chief William Swanhart, the community event is designed to foster stronger relationships between residents and law enforcement. It will feature food, games, music, refreshments, amusements, fire department demonstrations, vendor tables and guided tours.
National Night Out is observed annually on the first Tuesday in August and aims to promote partnerships between police and the communities they serve.
Marine colonel inspires Robbinsville students
National Night Out began in 1984 as a grassroots initiative to promote neighborhood safety and cooperation with police.
Founded by the nonprofit National Association of Town Watch, the program originally encouraged residents to turn on porch lights and spend the evening outside with neighbors.
It has since grown into a nationwide event involving millions of people across
The youngest students in the Robbinsville School District got a surprise visitor recently during “Clothing Day” when U.S. Marine Col. Nick Mackres arrived at Pond Road Middle School in full dress blues.
For the 3- and 4-year-old pre-K students, it was an impressive show-and-tell. For staff, it was a rare glimpse into the dual life of a colleague who normally goes by “Mr. Mackres” — the district’s business administrator and board secretary since
by for walk-ins or schedule an appt. by phone or QR
Mackres, 48, has served in the U.S. Marine Corps for nearly 30 years, including three combat tours in Iraq. He currently serves in the Marine Corps Reserves while overseeing school operations in Robbinsville.
“I wanted to share an important message with the students — that you can pursue more than one passion in life,” Mackres said. “While I love my job at Robbinsville Public Schools, with the opportunity every day to make positive impacts on the school community, I am also passionate about my service in the Marine Corps.”
Dressed in his ceremonial uniform, Mackres pointed out symbols like the eagle, globe and anchor on his cap and the medals across his chest.
“He is enabling the preservation of student-facing programs while making the right decisions to best serve the interests of all stakeholders.”
Mackres, a former administrator in the Jamesburg, Spring Lake and Mullica school districts, has led several cost-saving initiatives in Robbinsville. These include overseeing solar panel installations at the high school and middle school that are expected to generate \$1.7 million in energy savings over 15 years — and eventually up to $500,000 annually. He has also worked to reduce health care and overhead costs through long-term planning.
The preschoolers, wideeyed with curiosity, asked questions about the uniform’s colors and insignia. He even had them counting to four in French while explaining the “quatrefoil” stitching on his white cap.
“This January, when I joined the school district, I was immediately impressed by Nick Mackres as our business administrator,” Superintendent Patrick Pizzo said.
“The military — and the discipline that comes with it — has made me much more effective in my role in Robbinsville,” Mackres said. “Would I join the military again? Absolutely. But I first see myself as a school administrator. This is where I want to be.”
Mackres is currently assigned to work with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and is expected to serve as a military liaison to the United Nations General Assembly in September.

Dr. Natasha Rockwell Brings Smiles to Guatemala on Service Mission
LOGO: A
Dr. Natasha Rockwell of Rockwell Family Dentistry recently returned from a meaningful dental mission to the remote mountains outside El Progreso, Guatemala, with the nonprofit DIG—Dream. Invest. Grow. (dreaminvestgrow.org). DIG partners with healthcare professionals to bring much-needed services to underserved communities in rural Guatemala.
Traveling hours over rugged terrain to reach The Center of Hope, Dr. Rockwell and her team provided essential dental care to around 250 patients from nearby Mayan villages. Many of these patients, including children and the elderly, had never seen a dentist before and endured long journeys on foot to receive treatment. Over four intensive days, the team performed hundreds of fillings, extractions, and cleanings, transforming lives and relieving chronic pain.
The mission was supported by generous donations from Dental City and SDI, ensuring the team could deliver high-quality care even in challenging conditions.
For Dr. Rockwell—who practices alongside her family at Rockwell Dentistry in Hamilton and Middletown, NJ—it was an experience that deeply reinforced her commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care. “This mission was a powerful reminder of why we do what we do: to serve others with skill and heart,” she said.

City of Trenton Awarded Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Culture of Health Prize
The City of Trenton, New Jersey is one of nine communities from across the United States to receive the 2024 Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Culture of Health Prize. The prize recognizes communities that are committed to finding healthier and more equitable solutions to structural racism and other injustices.
“As the only hospital in Trenton, Capital Health has been a driving force in creating an environment where all residents have the opportunity to thrive,” said Al Maghazehe, president and CEO of Capital Health. “Our responsibility extends well beyond the scope of traditional care, and we are proud of the role we played to help our city join the ranks of RWJF Culture of Health Prize alumni, all of whom are committed to building a healthier future for their communities.”
“Every community faces its own unique health challenges, and Capital Health has been helping Trenton residents navigate them for more than 125 years,” said Dr. Eric Schwartz, vice president of Community Health and Transformation and executive director of Capital Health Institute for Urban Care. “Outside the walls of our hospitals, we remain committed to working with community partners like the city’s health care providers, local government, and churches, schools, and food banks throughout the city to create a safer and healthier environment for our neighbors.”
Capital Health and its Institute for Urban Care currently lead or provide support by working with community partners for programs for Trenton residents:
… The Violence Intervention for the Community Through Outreach Recovery (VICTORY) program aims to break the cycle of violence by reaching out to victims of violence when they receive medical treatment at the Bristol Myers Squibb Trauma Center at Capital Health Regional Medical Center.
The Maternal and Infant Health Innovation (MIHI) Authority reduces maternal and infant mortality with a focus on black and brown birthing people. An MIHI Center is being built in Trenton with Capital Health as one of three lead tenants.
… Family Connects is now a statewide home-visiting program for growing families. When Trenton stepped up to be the pilot for the program, Capital Health and other partners provided home visits and referrals to thousands of growing families and ensured that most of them completed the critical post-partum visit. For My Baby and Me provides comprehensive services for pregnant people impacted by opioid use disorder.
… Mobile Food Pantry events, in partnership with the Arm in Arm Hunger Prevention program and Trenton Area Soup Kitchen, are held weekly at health clinics in Trenton.

Structural Issues Force Emergency Closure of Leased Capital Health Satellite Emergency Department Space
Recently, Capital Health learned that space it is leasing from Trinity Health at the former St. Francis campus needed to begin shutdown activities immediately.
This included a shutdown of the Satellite Emergency Department and the outpatient clinic located on Bert Avenue in Trenton (cross street of Hamilton Avenue). Capital Health was advised by structural engineers, architects, and demolition experts that significant structural issues with another adjoining building posed a threat to the integrity and safety of the building these medical services were located in. To protect the safety of employees, patients, visitors, and students, the health care system had no choice but to cease operations at this location without delay.
As a result, as of June 5, the Satellite Emergency Department no longer accepts patients. The outpatient clinic closed as of June 4, with patients being diverted to other facilities for medical care (see sidebar).
For patients in need of emergency and acute care medical services, Capital Health operates two other comprehensive emergency departments and inpatient hospitals in Mercer County — one on Brunswick Avenue at Capital Health Regional Medical Center in Trenton (around two miles away), and another one at Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell on Scotch Road in Pennington (just over eight miles away).
Emergency medical services (EMS) agencies have been asked to take ambulance transports to other area emergency departments. Patients with emergency medical conditions should call 911 so EMS can transport them to an appropriate emergency department. Patients who choose to transport themselves for medical care should not come to the Hamilton Avenue campus and should instead go to another area emergency department.
Patients who typically used the outpatient clinic for primary or specialty care will be cared for at Capital Health’s 433 Bellevue Avenue and 832 Brunswick Avenue locations. Patients who utilize the clinics can call 609.815.7296 for help with any questions they may have.
“We are deeply frustrated and disappointed by the circumstances that have led to the emergency closure of our Satellite Emergency Department and other services in East Trenton. Since assuming services from St. Francis two years ago, and leasing this space from Trinity Health, our staff has worked tirelessly to preserve services in the
Patients who used the outpatient clinic at Capital Health – East Trenton for primary or specialty care can call 609.815.7296 to find a clinic at one of the following Trenton locations:

city and at this location,” said Al Maghazehe, president and CEO of Capital Health. “With the former St. Francis location no longer safe for us to occupy, we will be working to identify the best path forward to ensure Trentonians, and those in close proximity to this location, have continued access to the care they need. We will work closely with the city, other partners, and the community as we move forward.”

nents 27-6. The Section 3 tournament was tougher, as the locals went 4-0 but were forced into extra innings twice.
In the state tournament, Robbinsville won two straight before suffering its first loss, falling to Hanover. That forced a winner-take-all game, which Robbinsville won 3-0.
“Some of these girls I’ve been working with since they were 7. We played the same district teams when they were 8, and we beat everyone at 9, so I knew we would win the districts,” Zadlock said.
He added: “In sections, we had faced a lot of those teams with our travel team, the Robbinsville Rampage. The core nucleus of our All-Star team was the travel team, and we were 50-18-1 in travel. So we were battle-tested. I knew we had a shot.
“With the states, you never know. You can run into a buzzsaw pitcher. Luckily, the ball bounced our way and we won.”
Robbinsville had a couple of buzzsaws of its own in the circle.
Avery DeLay had a 1.30 ERA and struck out 75 in 36 innings. Madelyn Macdonald had a 0.49 ERA and fanned 44 in 25 innings.
“Both of them pound the strike zone,” Zadlock said. “They throw multiple pitches. They control the pace of the game. The moment is never too big for
them. They’re everything you want as a manager to lead the team, and they are definitely team leaders.”
There are a few differences between the hurlers.
“Madelyn is always smiling,” Zadlock said. “She has a high percentage of throwing strikes. She has an awesome changeup and nasty drop curve.
“Avery is my flamethrower. She’s a little more serious. She’s not going to be smiling — she’s locked in the zone, very determined. She always wants the ball in the circle. She has a nasty change-up and a curveball.”
At first base is rock-solid Maddie Beaver, who hit .391 out of the three-hole.
“She is a lockdown first baseman,” Zadlock said. “She’s a wall. She’s fabulous.”
At second is Harper Novick, who compiled a high fielding percentage and hit a respectable .261.
“She flashed the leather,” Zadlock said. “She had a lot of unassisted outs.”
Hailey Nehil also played second along with left field and “was a very dependable outfielder with some game-saving catches.”
When Macdonald wasn’t pitching, she played shortstop.
“She’s the captain of the infield,” Zadlock said. “She’s always calling out the plays. She’s a chit-chatter and a vacuum
at shortstop. She’s just a high softball IQ player.”
Alternating at shortstop and third base was heavy-hitting Angelina Micallef, who batted .429 and led the team with nine RBIs and 10 runs scored.
“She had a big bat for us,” Zadlock said. “She had a lot of important hits.”
When not in the circle, DeLay played third and led the team with 13 hits and a .500 average. She also had seven RBIs and nine runs.
Behind the plate was Milena Micallef, Angelina’s twin sister, who batted .296 and, more importantly, “does not allow any passed balls. She’s a brick wall. She’s taking foul balls off the arm, battling, staying in the game. She’s a fierce competitor. She’s everything you want in a tough, gritty catcher.”
The other catcher was Adelyn Zadlock, the manager’s daughter, who hit .348 and
threw out several baserunners trying to steal.
“It was hard to steal on either of them,” Zadlock said. “They threw out multiple girls. Stealing home was challenging with these girls too, because of their defensive prowess — receiving, dropping and blocking, and commanding the pitches.”
Zadlock also played right field for most of the time and made some game-saving catches while displaying a strong arm to gun down runners seeking an extra base.
Patrolling center field was Anya Rao, who “had our strongest arm in the outfield, huge range. She’s everything you want in a center fielder.”
She also provided a spark offensively.
“Aya is a talented switch-hitter who can do it all from both sides of the plate,” Zadlock said. “She can hit with power, but she was also our slap hitter. She’d lay down

bunts from the left side and also slap the ball. She moved a lot of runners around. That was her main job, and she really excelled at that.”
In left field was Hailey Nehil, who “had some big long-range catches that saved a couple of games. She prevented some extra-base hits. She was always backing up where she had to. She had a great softball IQ.”
Robbinsville also had depth on the bench. In the second game of the states, Adelina Diodati delivered a two-out walkoff hit for a 1-0 win over Elmora that sent the 10s into the championship round. Charlotte Kohlmayer was a lefty specialist at bunting, hit .286, and was “just a feisty batter. She caused chaos with her small ball and was a rally starter in multiple games for us.”
Rounding out the team was Bianca Holden, the main backup in the outfield and “a great teammate and cheerleader. She was always dependable when called upon.”
Aiding Zadlock during the tournament were assistants David Beaver and Adam Novick, while year-round coaches are Allison DeLay and David Micallef.
They were all part of a big-time run by a team with moxie.
What made Robbinsville’s state run
especially impressive is that it had to bounce back from its first postseason loss and regroup for a winner-take-all game on the same day. Zadlock felt that having played extra-inning pressure games earlier kept the girls calm.
“After we lost to Hanover in extra innings, they were a little upset, but we had been in those situations before,” Zadlock said. “We’ve played in a lot of tournaments. The girls were cool, calm and collected. I think the parents were more stressed — the coaching staff was definitely more stressed. The girls had their little smiles, so they had the confidence.”
The manager said a key to Robbinsville’s success was year-round training at GTP in Hamilton and The Barn in New Egypt.
“What’s cool is they do practice outside of practice,” Zadlock said. “They are very determined. They practice their craft all year round. They try to play competitive softball. I’m very proud of them. That’s a commitment from the parents, and the kids love the game. They have a willingness to try to get 1% better every day.”
Zadlock also gave a shoutout to three Robbinsville High School varsity players — Alyssa Todd, Cassidy Luna and Caroline Kapferer — who helped instruct the 10s during winter workouts at Team 85 in Bordentown.
Future-ready starts now
What is the future of the Robbinsville Public Schools district? The Robbinsville Board of Education is working diligently to answer this question by launching a detailed plan that will take us through the 2028-29 school year, as well as projecting the education needs of our students into the 2045-46 school year.
Planning so far out is a daunting task. But just think about the preschoolers who are already enrolled in our district. When they graduate from college or trade school and begin their careers, it will already be the mid 2040s.
The future is arriving very quickly. We need to prepare now to ensure the school district has the focus and relevancy to match the career readiness and skill demands of the mid-2000s. One way to prepare for the future is by collecting student interest survey data to align classroom learning experiences with forecasted industry trends.
To create the career-aligned pathways our students deserve, we need to begin offering the relevant coursework, partnerships and real-world opportunities for even the youngest of Robbinsville students. We need to further empower them to explore their passions and build successes in college, their career and beyond.
We are already seeing the future interest areas of our students, as national surveys show they will likely enter careers such as computer science, medical science, engineering, education, finance, business and the arts.
To this end, we are already examining the course offerings at Sharon Elementary School, where we will need to continually revise and update our STEAM curricula,
add more world languages, which will be implemented for 2025/26, and continue to expand our focus on social-emotional learning.
At Pond Road Middle School, we need to add electives that fit with these future career pathways and bring more high school level experiences to our pre-teens. There is also a plan to expand social-emotional support, via outreach to our marginalized groups and courageous conversations.
At the high school, the focus must be on integrating real-world learning so our students can develop the adaptability and critical thinking needed for future careers that have yet to be imagined. (Think back to 2015 and the concept of a “social media influencer.”)
We also need to take a deep dive into the future of computer and medical science, as well as other careers that we believe will be in high demand by the time our preschoolers earn their college diplomas. Problem solving is vital for our students to succeed in future careers not yet defined in our rapidly changing world.
As we move forward with a “FutureReady Robbinsville,” our first step is conducting surveys of students, parents/ guardians and staff. We must work together to review our findings, develop an action plan and convene an advisory committee. As administrators, we must also carefully look at the expenses needed to support this new pathway development.
As part of such a forward-thinking transformation, we expect that we will need to hire more full-time educators over the next three school years. And, like any other expenditure in public education, we need to make sure the investment will bear the tangible results our community is seeking. We need your input and support to achieve our shared better tomorrow.
Peace of Mind.
Dr. Patrick Pizzo is Superintendent of the Robbinsville Public Schools.
Reset your health before fall routines take
Ask The Doctor
As we enter August, many families— especially adults juggling work, parenting, and health responsibilities— begin to feel the weight of summer burnout. Long days, irregular schedules, disrupted routines, and mounting fall preparations can all lead to fatigue, stress, and overlooked health needs.
feeling balanced and recharged. Restore a Sleep Routine.
our ads in SIX09 section pgs 5 and 7
Erratic sleep schedules are a hallmark of summer, but adults and children alike function best with consistent, quality sleep. Begin resetting your routine now by going to bed and waking up 15 to 30 minutes earlier each day until you’re back on track.
Encourage family involvement in meal prep to make it fun and sustainable. Adults managing chronic conditions like high blood pressure or prediabetes can especially benefit from resetting their dietary habits before the busy fall season.
Prioritize Hydration.

“The end of summer is the perfect time to pause, reset, and prioritize your family’s well-being before the rush of fall begins,” says Dr. Anjali Bhandarkar, MD, Internal Medicine Physician. “It’s an ideal time to check in with your own health, as well as the needs of your family.”
While most people focus on backto-school plans for children, adults are just as likely to feel the effects of this seasonal transition. Here are a few health-focused strategies to help the whole household head into September
“Sleep isn’t just about rest—it supports metabolism, immune function, and emotional regulation,” explains Dr. Bhandarkar. “Chronic sleep debt often leads to burnout, especially in working parents.”
Revisit Nutrition Habits.
Summer eating can be heavy on convenience and light on structure. A return to routine is the perfect time to refocus on whole foods—vegetables, fruits, lean protein, and high-fiber grains. Preparing meals at home, even simple ones, gives you better control over portion sizes, sugar intake, and nutrition.
Dehydration often builds up quietly during the summer months, especially for adults drinking more caffeine or alcohol. Aim for half your body weight in ounces of water daily and carry a refillable bottle throughout the day.
“Hydration impacts everything from focus to weight management to digestion,” says Dr. Bhandarkar. “It’s one of the simplest and most effective wellness tools we often overlook.”
Schedule Daily Movement.
When it comes to exercise, consistency beats intensity. Take a 20-minute walk, stretch before bed, or do a quick home workout. Not only does movement improve cardiovascular health, it boosts mood, reduces inflammation, and relieves stress— especially important for adults balancing caregiving roles.
Make Time for Mental Reset.
Adults are just as susceptible to burnout as kids. Take a few minutes each day to unplug. Whether it’s journaling, meditation, or simply stepping outside for fresh air, small acts of mindfulness help reduce mental clutter and improve clarity.
End-of-summer burnout affects the whole household. With small, intentional steps focused on rest, nutrition, hydration, and movement, families can transition into the fall season healthier, more focused, and better prepared.
