Seniors anchor stingy
D for Steinert
By rIcH FISHEr
It’s a bond that started before kindergarten, and it has gotten stronger than ever much to the frustration of Steinert High boys soccer opponents.
Senior defenders Elliot Morris and Jake Reilly have come up through the ranks together and were finally given the chance to play a full season together at the high school level this autumn. The result has been one of the stingiest defenses at Steinert since the Shawn Gardiner-led state championship team of 1988.
“We entered this year and they were both healthy and we got back to what we were expecting,” coach Anthony Tessein said. “Both were day one starters and, knock on wood, they’ve been healthy all year. And the two of them, with Ryan (Checkowski) have exceeded any expectations I had for them.”

Hamilton finally has a brewery that it can call its own, although one must travel almost to the easternmost portion of the township to reach it.
Bent Iron Brewing Company opened late this summer on Extonville Road, where the opposite side of the street is in Upper Freehold Township.

Bent Iron Brewing Company, Hamilton’s first brewery, opens
Not that anyone has had any difficulty finding the place so far. Since it opened in a summer thunderstorm Aug. 2, the brewery started up by three partners from Chesterfield has been packed every weekend. Head brewer Dave Ascione says he has all he can do to brew enough beer to keep the taps open — though fortunately, Bent Iron has managed not to run out yet.
Partners and Chesterfield
residents Dave Sass, Peter Brittain and Jon Kanuck dreamed up the business over brews in 2020, while locked down for Covid. They talked about one day opening a brewery of their own, getting excited enough about it to actually sit down and write a business plan.
And as it happened, Brittain

Bagels & Burgers opens in Deerpath Pavilion
By KaITlIN BaVarO
Bagels and burgers are both staples of New Jersey. Two couples — Krishna Mahida and Kaushal Chauhan of Robinsville, and Yogesh Reddy and Swapna Goli of Chesterfield — decided to combine two of the most popular food items in the state into one restaurant: Deerpath Bagels and Burgers.
The restaurant held a grand opening celebration on Oct. 4, about seven months after its soft opening in March.
Deerpath has a variety of breakfast and lunch options, such as breakfast sandwiches and wraps, french toast, waffles, pancakes, breakfast platters, omelet platters, breakfast sides, cold sandwiches and wraps, appetizers, chicken wings, kids meals, cheesesteak wraps, triple-decker club sandwiches, grilled sandwiches, paninis and salads, aside from their wide selection of bagels and burgers . Their burgers range from a classic cheeseburger to black

Hamilton police honored by U.S. attorney’s office
On Sept. 30, members of the Hamilton Police Division were recognized by the U.S. Attorney’s Office District of New Jersey for meritorious service and acts that contributed to the pursuit of justice.
During the ceremony in Newark, U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger issued awards to Lt. Stephen Ligato, Sgt. Robert Colletti, Sgt. Edward Lugo, Sgt. Bryan Gadsby, Det. Christopher Pullen, Det. Patrick Guido, Det. James Rickey, Officer Christopher DiMeo, Officer Sean Mattis, Officer Ryan Burger, Officer Jeffrey Galant, Officer Richard Piotrowski, retired Lt. Ralph Fiasco, retired Det. James Scott, retired Det. Lawrence MacArthur, and retired Det. David Marshall, in addition to Special Agents Matthew Maltese and James Otten of the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The awards were in recognition of actions taken in the case U.S. v. Cedrick Hodges. The case stemmed from an incident that occurred on Dec. 16, 2017. On
that date, Hamilton Police responded, just before 9:30 p.m., to the 2300 block of South Broad Street after a 53-year-old woman reported that she had just parked her car when the defendant, Cedrick Hodges, entered the rear passenger seat and pointed a loaded sawed-off shotgun at her and demanded that she operate the vehicle. The driver then exited the vehicle and ran. At that point, it was alleged, Hodges discharged the shotgun towards her as she fled.
Moments later, as per police reports, Hodges approached a Honda Accord occupied by a driver and one passenger. Hodges pointed the shotgun at the driver’s window, demanding that the driver and passenger exit the vehicle. When the driver refused, and instead began to drive the vehicle away from Hodges, Hodges discharged the shotgun into the driver’s side window, striking the driver in his torso, causing permanent and serious

bodily injury. Hodges then fled the area.
Several minutes later, while on Lafayette Avenue, police reported that Hodges approached a man who was entering a Nissan Rogue. Hodges demanded that the man hand Hodges the keys to the Nissan Rogue. When the man refused, Hodges brandished the shotgun and discharged the firearm at the man, striking him in the upper arm. Sgt. Ligato arrived at the same time and witnessed the shooting occur.
Upon seeing Ligato, Hodges fled on foot, according to police reports. Ligato broadcast Hodges’ description and location of Hodges, then rendered life-saving aid to the victim by applying a tourniquet to the victim’s arm. As Hodges was fleeing, Colletti observed him running across South Broad Street. After a foot pursuit and with the assistance of other officers on scene, Hodges was placed under arrest without further incident. Officers later found the shotgun in an alley between Lafayette Avenue and South Broad Street.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Eric Suggs and Tracey Agnew prosecuted the case. With the collaborative efforts between the United States Attorney’s Office and the Hamilton Police Division, a federal jury in Trenton convicted Hodges of carjacking, brandishing a firearm during the carjacking, two attempted carjackings resulting in serious bodily injury, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Hodges is currently in jail awaiting federal sentencing, which is scheduled for later this year.
Chief Kenneth R. DeBoskey attended the ceremony and made the following statement:
“The officers of the Hamilton Police Division who responded to this incident conducted themselves in a heroic fashion and demonstrated the teamwork necessary to bring this incident to a successful conclusion. I am proud of all of the officers involved and commend them as well for their efforts that evening.”

Choral Society embarks on 75th anniversary season
from Mercer, Bucks and Burlington counties. While the group currently thrives, its journey has been marked by fluctuations in membership, a reminder of the ebbs and flows that many arts organizations experience.
By ISaBElla Darcy
Mercer County’s second-oldest arts organization, the Central Jersey Choral Society (CJCS), has been a pillar of the local arts scene since 1949, bringing classical choral music to communities across the region.
Throughout its history, the CJCS has enjoyed periods of success, but it has also faced challenges, including declining membership and the need for rebuilding. Now, as the organization celebrates its 75th anniversary, it is once again flourishing.
Formerly known by several names— the Trenton Community Chorus, Mercer County Chorus, and the Greater Trenton Choral Society—the CJCS has evolved over time. Today, the name reflects its diverse membership of 60 to 65 singers
Headquartered in Ewing Township, the CJCS performs most of its concerts at Ewing Covenant Presbyterian Church on Scotch Road. In an effort to continue its legacy, the group is actively recruiting new members from across the Mercer County area. To kick off its 75th anniversary season, the CJCS recently hosted two welcoming nights for prospective singers, a move that signals the organization’s commitment to growth and community engagement.
The road to this milestone was not without obstacles. Just before its 60th anniversary, the CJCS faced a daunting challenge: membership had dwindled to just 14 people, and the organization’s future was uncertain.
However, thanks to the perseverance of its dedicated members, a determined board, and the vision of artistic director
Christopher Loeffler, the choir made an impressive comeback. Loeffler’s leadership and the collective passion of the group helped breathe new life into the organization, ensuring that the CJCS could continue its mission of bringing high-quality choral music to the region.
“The trick to 75 years is just making a commitment to revitalizing,” said Loeffler in an interview with the Ewing Observer.
The artistic director joined the organization in 2008 when membership had reached its lowest point, and financial hardships were a major concern. The organization was so threatened by these issues that the board at the time had a meeting where they decided that their options were to either close the CJCS or hire Loeffler. When he was hired, Loeffler stepped up to become the organization’s fifth artistic director.
Through his roles as a high school chorus teacher, vocalist, performing arts facilitator and director of multiple choirs, Loeffler is connected with many artists in Central Jersey. When he became artistic director of the CJCS, the first thing Loeffler did was bring in four friends who had the ability to musically strengthen the choir. From there, the organization began recruiting anyone who had an interest in singing.
“I strongly believe that anybody can sing, and if you want to learn how, it’s a
skill,” said Loeffler.
The artistic director believed that if the CJCS had a few strong voices that could carry parts, then he could surround the strong voices with those who are more timid.
A joint effort between the organization’s members to expand the CJCS resulted in an increase of more than 500% in membership, and more financial security. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused a drop in membership, the organization reached 85 members.
Some long-time members remember when the CJCS had more than 100 people at once, according to Caroline Steward, who has been a member since the 1970s.
The organization’s founder, Harry Mulder, who passed away in December 2011, brought in hundreds of members during his over 30 years of directorship. Mulder was a music teacher at Trenton Central High School and recruited many of his students to join the organization.
Mulder was “legendary,” said Steward, a resident of Ewing who joined the organization when she was in high school. She became a member after being encouraged by her church’s choir director, Deidre Hindley, who is also a longtime member of the CJCS. At the time, people were required to audition to join.
See cHOral, Page 12
Steward’s audition went well, and she became an active member until she took a temporary break to raise her children.
Hindley, another Ewing resident, also left the organization for some time. During their time away, Steward and Hindley were still connected through their church, and when Hindley decided to rejoin the CJCS in the early 2000’s, she, once again, convinced Steward to come along. This time, Steward brought her daughter, Sarah Steward, with her.
Sarah, who is also a Ewing resident and serves as a member of the Ewing Township Council, would go on to become president of the organization in 2013. She served in that role until 2022 when she stepped down and became a nonboard member. Leanne Sine, who was the CJCS’s secretary, assumed the presidency and has held the position since.
Over the years the CJCS has stayed true to its mission, which according to Sarah Steward is, “creating high quality classical choral music in our community.”
For its 75th season performances, Loeffler is taking inspiration from the CJCS’s passion for classical choral music and its history to organize performances that depict the heart of the organization. Long-time members often look back on the 1970s “glory days” of the organiza-
tion, according to Loeffler. The reminiscing inspired the artistic director to make a historical musical connection.
“That’s exactly what they were doing in the Renaissance,” said Loeffler. “Looking back to Classical Greece and Rome.”
Incorporating history lessons into performances is something that the artistic director is known for, both in practice and on stage.
“The choir often jokes that I don’t turn my teacher off,” said Loeffler. “I love to tell them the history of the piece, of the composer, of the time period, of all of those things.”
This season, Loeffler is using his knowledge of history to curate a concert that tells the organization’s story from its successful past, through its comeback after facing hardships, to its embracement of the present and optimism for the future.
The concert that Loeffler has put together for the 75th season is chronological, and travels from the beginning of the Renaissance period until the end. The performance will feature works by Guillaume Du Fay, a composer from the early Renaissance, and Claudio Monteverdi, a composer from the later Renaissance.
Also on the 75-year anniversary performance agendas are Felix Mendelssohn’s “Elijah” and George Frideric Handel’s “Messiah.” Both of these works are staples of the CJCS.
“Messiah” has been performed by the organization since 1953, according to Caroline Steward.
Although they do not perform the piece every year, many members— whether they sang in the CJCS decades ago or more recently—have memories of singing “Messiah.”
past members will rejoin and participate in what Caroline Steward describes as “a big sing along.”
“I hope that [the concerts] bring people back to the choir, whether it’s this choir or another one right like it,” said Sine.
An open house on Monday, Sept. 9, kicked off the 75-year anniversary season. Members will now spend this season preparing for its two main performances in January and June 2025. Exact dates, times and locations are still to be determined.
While 75 years is a milestone, both Caroline and Sarah Steward said that they would like to see the organization make it to its 100-year anniversary.
“I think there are more people out there that we could reach either in terms of singers or community and that’s really our mission is to reach folks,” said Sarah Steward. “It just brings people joy to see their community members do this.”
“My goal for this year was to finally acknowledge all that we were and help it inform who we are,” said Loeffler. “I just don’t want the choir to think that our glory days are behind us. We are doing great stuff right now and the glory days can be ahead of us.”
“It’s our big piece that everybody knows,” said Caroline Steward. “It’s a big sing along.”
The organization will be performing “Messiah” to commemorate the piece’s significance in its history. Sine and the rest of the CJCS Board are hoping that

had the perfect place for them to locate it: his family farm in Hamilton Township.
The location gave the partners a ton of options in terms of site planning. They drew on their memories of breweries they had visited in the past, and toured many new ones in the region to get the best idea of what they wanted to do and what kind of customer experience they wanted to provide.
In the end, they built their brewhouse and taproom in a brand new building. The taproom is spacious and welcoming, yet all of the brewing equipment is off to the side in plain view.
“This (farm) was our only option,” Sass says. “We always had a plan to be a farm brewery where families could gather, where people could sit inside or outside, where families could gather.”
The partners traveled to Pittsburgh to find a 1930’s vintage bar that they could bring back and install in the taproom. “We wanted it to feel new, but we also wanted people to feel like it had been here a long time,” Sass says.
Out the back door is a wide gravel patio with picnic tables and fire pits. Beyond the patio is green space for kids to play and families to relax.
“When people come to the brewhouse, I hope they are surprised in a good way,” Sass says. “I hope they see the vision that we have, a farm brewery with a welcoming space they can feel comfortable in all year round. Some people are beer people, some people aren’t but we hope everyone finds something to please them, that makes them want to come back.”
One of the first orders of business was finding a head brewer, of course, and in Dave Ascione, Bent Iron found someone not only with brewing experience but who also lives in the area.
A native of Chesterfield, Ascione was for years a partner in Knights Keep Brewing, which spent the better part of seven years looking for a place to open in Hamilton without ever finding quite the right spot.
Ascione says he remains friends with
the other partners from Knights Keep, but by the time Bent Iron contacted him, Covid had killed whatever hopes they had left of opening their brewery, so they had disbanded.
Ascione, a long-time bar manager at Chickies and Pete’s in Bordentown, was not necessarily looking to get back into the brewing game after those years with Knights Keep. “Let’s just say Peter (Brittain) can be very persuasive,” he says.
The partners asked him what he would need if they were to work together. The first thing he asked them to do was double the size of the operation they were prepared to build. Where they saw planned on with 8 taps, he wanted 32. They met somewhere in the middle, opening with 16 taps.
“A lot of breweries, when they open, they are constantly running out of beer. People stop by, they’re excited to try something and they’re out. I always knew I wanted a large mix, I wanted there to be something for everyone to be able to drink. I needed IPAs, I needed sours, I needed seltzers. They said ‘It’s a lot of work.’ I said, ‘Work is not a problem.’ The more work I do, the better the business does.”
And since opening, they have had all of

The owners have personally gone into surrounding businesses and given out complimentary bagels. Being located in the Deerpath complex means they are surrounded by many small businesses.
“That gave us a chance to get us connected and know more about the neighborhood we are living in,” Mahida said. “The connections blossomed — they’re stopping by here, they’re liking the bagels because we make fresh bagels every day here.”
Deerpath Bagels and Burgers have been able to cater for some of the local businesses. Some of the businesses that they connected with share Deerpath’s menu with family and friends. “We are so fortunate to have such a great community,” Mahida said.

meals. This makes her understand the importance of having reliable and healthy takeout food options that feel just like a meal from home.
“I wanted to do something where the community can rely on us for food, especially breakfast and lunch,” she said. “A personal touch we can bring is our connection with the customers and the effort we put into making our food.”
Mahida’s goal when it comes to cooking is to make the food taste like a home-cooked meal, but of higher quality. Her top priority, aside from taste, is health. Mahida is proud to use fresh ingredients for her food.
There are three-full time workers at Deerpath Bagels and Burgers and one part time. Mahida and Chauhan, though they are owners, prefer to not have a hierarchical structure in the workplace. They both know how to cook each food item and make each drink and they help clean and prep as well. Mahida often works at the front register.
At the back of the restaurant is a huge back room kitchen where the cooking and cleaning takes place. There is a large bagel making
machine where each type of bagel is made fresh each morning. At the front of the restaurant, there is a coffee making station, fridges filled with drink choices and a big space for tables. Large photos hang on the walls and at the back of the register the abundance of bagels are showcased.
The two couples, who were friends prior to being business owners together, agreed that the Deerpath plaza would be a great place to run their business. The plaza inspired the restaurant’s name, making it easier for people to know where the business is located.
Mahida had an interesting start in the food industry. In 2011, she was a microbiologist/lab technologist for Johanna Foods in Flemington, where she would test yogurts and fruit juices. She also worked at Quickstop Deli and Sunset Deli, where she made sandwiches.
At Deerpath Bagels and Burgers, Mahida is able to combine her pharmaceutical knowledge and business owner experience from Singin at Lakewood to run the restaurant.

As Steinert entered the Oct. 24 Colonial Valley Conference semifinals, it was 13-2-3 with 11 shutouts and had allowed just 10 goals – just over a half a goal per game.
The rocks have been Morris and Reilly, who were joined this year by Checkowski and have a formidable keeper behind them with Dennis Chaykovskyy.
After every game Tessein marvels at their instincts and anticipation of what each other will do, and that comes from years of playing together.
“Me and Jake are good friends,” Morris said. “We played with each other when we were young in the rec league, and a little bit here and there when I would play with his travel team every once in a while. But we have played together all throughout high school and I think that made our bond better.”
Reilly concurred, noting: “I’ve been playing with and around Elliot since we were four years old on the rec fields. It helps us out a lot since we know exactly what both of our strengths and weaknesses are, and we complement each other very well.”
Their paths to this season were slightly different, however.
“In the previous two years there’s been a lot of adversity for both of them,” Tessein said.
After making varsity as a sophomore, Reilly saw decent playing time and gained experience as an occasional starter in the midfield “and had a really good sophomore year,” according to Tessein.
Morris saw little time that season, but took it in stride.
“I don’t think I ever really got frus-
trated,” he said. “I knew that I would get my chances and that just being with the older guys and playing at practice with them would make me a better player. And the back line doesn’t get subbed in or out very much so I just knew I had to be patient.”
That patience paid off last year as both players were day one starters along with senior Liam Gardiner. But a month into the season, Reilly suffered an injury that affected his play upon returning.
“He wasn’t the same and we had kind of moved on,” Tessein said. “It was one of those Lou Gehrig-Wally Pipp things where he kind of lost his spot. I know it was difficult for him.”
Reilly admitted as much.
“Having played every minute of the first eight games to not seeing the field at all really frustrated me,” he said. “I knew I was always a starter and definitely knew I would have my spot back coming into this year. It was about keeping it and staying healthy for me.”
Tessein was impressed that Reilly did not let his disappointment get the best of him.
“He had the right attitude, he observed, he practiced hard, when the minutes came his way he put in a good shift,” the coach said. “He just had to wait his turn and his turn is this year and from day one he made it impossible to take him out of the lineup. Just like Elliott did last year.”
The result has been a slew of close, low-scoring games this season, as Steinert had allowed a season-high two goals in just one of its first 18 matches. One of the highlights came in shutting out a high-scoring Notre Dame offense in a 1-0

“They’re great, they did a great job,” Irish coach Bryan Fisher said afterwards. “They play to their strengths and they’re tough to break down.”
Entering the season, the two main questions in the back were whether Morris could move from outside to center back; and could Checkowski and Chaykovskyy take over as first-year varsity starters.
Morris provided a resounding answer.
“He has done it really well,” Tessein said. “Liam looked a little calmer doing it but nothing gets past Elliot.”
“I feel very confident and safe when he’s back there,” Reilly said. “He’s been standing in my net since sixth grade so me and him have a great connection knowing exactly what each other wants to do with the ball.”
Tessein took it a step further.
“We don’t give up a lot of shots on frame but when Dennis is called into duty he makes the saves,” the coach said. “One of the things that doesn’t show up on the stat sheet is his ability to read crosses. He’s got great length, he covers a lot of ground. He’s tall, but his reach is incredible.
Morris welcomed the move, which requires a little more awareness and communication.
“It was a bit of a change but I’ve always known that I want to be in the center and that’s where I play best,” he said. “But I just like to play the game more than anything so playing on the outside was fun. Knowing I would always play, I’d go wherever the coach wants me.”
And while Morris and Reilly had builtin chemistry, Checkowski was able to mesh nicely.
“Ryan has done a great job filling in for Liam and has been a great defender with us,” Morris said. “He fit right in that spot and I think as soon as we started playing together we all got pretty confident with how each of us plays.”
It’s a group that has allowed less than four shots on goal per game. But when an attacker does launch one, Chaykovskyy has answered the call most times. He also controls the box, which is key for a goalie.
“Another thing probably underrated with Dennis is his ability with the ball at his feet, he’s very calm. There’s very few things that seem to get him rattled and you need that out of a goalkeeper to calm things down.”
Three backs and a goalie do not make up an entire defensive effort, of course. Steinert’s midfielders have done an outstanding job of keeping the ball out of the opponent’s attacking zone. But the foundation is in the back and Morris and Reilly are the anchors.
“I feel that our back line definitely sets a standard of high level defending, and that makes the midfield and the strikers defend at that higher level,” said Morris, who was actually an offensive force when he notched the assist on the game-winning goal against Lawrence in the CVCT quarterfinals.
Reilly feels a cohesiveness with the midfielders, which is important.
“I have always felt confident in the

back, especially because of the connection between the back three and our midfield,” he said. “We definitely set the tone because of the way we defend and don’t allow the other team much area to work in.”
That last statement is spot on. Even when teams penetrate into the final third, good scoring chances are minimal as the back three defenders shut down the passing lanes and win their one v one battles.
Tessein said his seniors have everything needed to be a defender.
“They both win headers, they’re not afraid of contact and they’re both very fast,” he said. “When things happen they can cover for each other’s mistakes. They cover a lot of ground and they both anticipate each other really well. They work off each other so great. It helps that they are three-year varsity players. They know what I expect and they know what’s expected of the position.”
Morris feels the key to success is keeping focus.
“Being a good defender is being very patient, always moving, watching the ball and always being involved in the game,” he said.
Reilly looks at it as a right place-right time situation.
“The number one thing for me no doubt is positioning,” he said. “No mat-
ter how good, fast, or strong you are, any decent attacker can beat you if your positioning is terrible.”
One thing is certain – playing well defensively is a key to tournament success as so many games are close and low scoring that oftentimes a break can win a match. Steinert isn’t an offensive juggernaut, but will always hang around so one goal could win a game.
“It’s very important to have a great defense heading into the tournament season because we are able to play in games that maybe if we didn’t have such a great defense we wouldn’t be in all of them,”
Morris said. “It usually puts us in tight games. I feel very confident and comfortable that if we go up 1-0 we can hold it until we get another goal.”
Reilly’s confidence was brimming heading into the CVCT.
“Elliot and I make sure that anyone who goes into a midfield or defensive role knows what the game plan is defensively and has an idea of what our coach expects of them in that role,” he said. “I have always known no matter who we play we will match up to them; and for them to win they will have to play their best game to get by us.”
And it’s been that way since they were 4-years-old.

Delehanty keys ND field hockey defense
By rIcH FISHEr
The field hockey season was drawing near and Notre Dame High coach Cheryl Harris was fretting over who would replace standout defensive center-midfielder Kalyn Rosica. Actually, she’d fretted about it all summer.
“I remember last year saying ‘I don’t know how we’re gonna replace Kalyn.’” Harris said. “Kalyn was incredible. She was our MVP for two years. I thought we’d struggle, but we’re not.”
The reason for that is Hamilton resident Kayla Delehanty has stepped in seamlessly to aid the Irish’s defensive cause. Harris knew that Notre Dame would score goals with Hamilton’s Ellie Marrone leading the charge. The coach was concerned how the defense would come together and, after a rocky start, it began to gel thanks in part to Delehanty.
The senior is the team’s flier on defense, meaning she sprints out to cover the girl who receives the ball on penalty corners in order to prevent an initial hit. She also plays in the offensive corners and can hit it on goal or pass off.
“She’s really an MVP on defense,” Harris said. “There’s so many times they should have scored on us on corners but they didn’t because of her. She’s really kept us in some games. She’s one girl I won’t take out.”
And why is that?
“She runs more than anyone on the field,” the coach continued. “She’s all the way up on offense and back on defense. She’s just a true athlete. She’s so athletic and her feet are always in the right spot. She always has her stick down. She’s just a great silent leader, she leads by example.”
defense for the Irish freshman team, saying, “I never really thought about being a mid or forward.”
She moved up to the JV team as a sophomore, and was not discouraged at all that she didn’t play varsity right away.
“Since I was new to the game, those first two years were definitely needed for me to understand the rules and how to play the game,” she said.
Harris was impressed by Delehanty’s abilities last year, and started her on defense.
Although midfield is a new area for Delehanty, her role is still the same since she has always been a defender. After being asked to replace Rosica, she knew her responsibility would increase.
“She was good, we knew at the end of the year she probably had the biggest chance to replace Kalyn,” the coach said. Even Harris couldn’t predict how well she would do in her new role.
“I was excited to take on this challenge,” Delehanty said. “Obviously there were big shoes to fill but I learned a lot from watching her lead the team. I felt prepared to take on this position and I give a lot of credit to Kalyn for playing a role in that.”
Delehanty never played field hockey before arriving at Notre Dame. She was looking for something different to do and, with a few friends, decided on field hockey “just for fun and to meet new people.”
“I immediately fell in love with the sport,” Delehanty said. “It is way different from the sports I have played in the past.”
As a 9-grader Delehanty started on
“She exceeded my expectations,” the coach said. “Last year at the end of the season she was voted team captain and was really surprised. She thought it would go to kids who’d been on varsity longer but her peers saw leadership qualities in her. We as coaches agreed. She earned it, she deserved it.”
Her new title made Delehanty an even better player.
“It was an honor to be named captain and made me elevate my play and step up my responsibilities to the team,” she said. “Being in this position, I can see the whole field which allows me to help the offense. I can also be a leader for the defense behind me. I’m glad this is the path I took

because this position is where I feel most comfortable.”
Although her main role is to defend, Deleanty noted her duties are not exactly the same as last year.
“There is a major difference,” she said. “Last year I was a left back and this year being defensive mid is a completely different responsibility. I love being able to run the whole field and even have a chance to contribute on offense.”
Put the accent on the word “run” in that last sentence.
Delehanty has always tried to keep herself in shape by running or working out. This past summer she did strength and conditioning work at Thunder ‘N’ Lightning Performance center in Hamilton, which helped with season preparation.
“Her biggest attributes are strength and endurance,” Harris said. “She’s got really hard hits. She can send the ball all the way up the field. After playing 50 minutes she just doesn’t run out the game. She’s playing the same way at the end as she is at the beginning of a game. She doesn’t get tired.
“That’s really important because we don’t have the numbers this year. So it would have been hard to sub. We were worried about that, but we haven’t had to sub her out at all.”
In that way, Delehanty is leading by example.
“I try to find a way to get her out of the game but she never seems to need it,” Harris said. “The fact she’s still sprinting on the field in the 50th minute gives everybody the push they need to continue.”
Delehanty hopes to continue playing for a club hockey team in college. She recently sent out her first round of applications and has a pretty good resume to brag about. Aside from classroom excellence, she is in Notre Dame’s Morgan’s Message club, Joey’s Little Angels and Catholic Athletes for Christ.
“But as of right now the two things I am focused on are my grades and taking this team as far as possible in the post-season,” Delehanty said.
The first part of the post-season went
well for Notre Dame, which reached the Colonial Valley Conference Tournament championship game before dropping a one-goal decision to Allentown. The Irish carried a 13-2 record into the last full week of October.
The Irish’s success has gotten several other contributions from Hamilton residents. Entering state play senior forward Ellie Marrone had a team-high 23 goals and 12 assists, sophomore midfielder Victoria Suschke had seven goals and eight assists and sophomore Grace Marrone, Ellie’s sister, was starting on defense.
“Ellie and Tori are both leading the offense and having unbelievable seasons,” Delehanty said. “They are the key to making the offense click and it’s shown by the amount of goals scored this year.”
Ellie Marrone started as a freshman and Harris said “we knew this would be her year.” One of the CVC’s top scorers, Marrone has been aided by Suschke’s position change.
“Tori’s incredible,” Harris said. “She’s our attacking center midfielder, she took over Ellie’s position. If I didn’t have Tori, I would have Ellie at attacking mid and Ellie would not be scoring the goals that she’s been able to score on the forward line. Tori’s been taking that challenge on.”
Meanwhile, the younger Marrone has shored up things in the back.
“We tried Grace as a midfielder and a forward all through preseason, and on the last day, we decided we would need her on defense if we wanted to make the impact that we did,” Harris said. “It was probably the best decision we made putting her on defense.”
Delehanty looked beyond the Hamilton connection and raved about the chemistry of the entire team.
“We are very close-knit and feed off each other,” she said. “I think that shows in how we move the ball down the field and work together as a team.”
All that may be true, but Delehanty has certainly been a key contributor.
“There’s no way,” Harris said, “that we would be 13-2 without her.”

Cutty finds scoring touch from midfield for Northstars
By rIcH FISHEr
Bridget Cutty looks at the leading scorers in Colonial Valley Conference girls soccer, sees her name atop the list, blinks and shakes her head.
“Honestly, it’s surreal,” the Nottingham High senior said. “And I’m a midfielder, I’m out-scoring forwards. I’m like ‘What’s going on?’”
What’s going on is that Cutty saw the need to score goals this year after Brooklynn Samonski graduated after collecting 23 last year and 52 for her career at Nottingham. Cutty estimated that her highest goal output at any level prior to this season was “four or five.”
Oh how things have changed.
Entering the Northstars Oct. 19 Colonial Valley Conference Tournament game with Steinert, Cutty led the CVC in scoring with 16 goals; three ahead of Hopewell’s Liz Buchert. She also had six assists, placing her in the top five, while her sophomore sister Maggie was second in assists with 12.
Cutty and Stars’ coach Jess Belmont never had a sit-down talk stressing that Bridget had to fill Samonski’s void. It was more like a silent agreement that it had to
nity and seize it and take the ball up.”
Cutty had been a defender her entire career, either as a back or defensive midfielder. She was a midfielder last year and her sister started in the back, but Bridget deferred to Samonski as the scorer
This year, Maggie is a center-mid along with Bridget and the two have made good things happen.
“My sister has assisted on so many of my goals, it’s just so special to have that,” Cutty said. “It’s kind of crazy to think about it. I’m not really that big of a goal scorer. It’s been so surreal to get these opportunities.”
Belmont doesn’t find it all that surreal, as she knew Cutty had it in her.
“She exploded on her own,” the firstyear coach said. “I did have high expectations for her because I know she’s such a good player. I was excited to see how she developed from last year to this year. She’s come up big with some crucial goals for us. Those were just opportunities she didn’t have last year.

“She’s just developed all around, with having more of that leadership role, the communication on the field, just being all over the place.”

FIREWOOD SPECIAL
All over is right. Just because she has become a scorer, does not mean Cutty no longer defends.
“She’s willing to get back and help us when she can,” Belmont said. “She’s assisting and pushing forward when we need her; scoring goals. She’s also one of my best defenders. She really has helped in every way possible. Defensively, offensively, controlling the center of the field. She’s done it all.”
Match-Fit and began playing for former Steinert star Lisa Pittaro.
“She’s a great coach, such an inspiration,” Cutty said. “I really think her guidance has helped me a lot with my position and coming into my own throughout high school.”
Cutty was also inspired by brother Aidan, who played for Nottingham before graduating in 2023.
“Last year she was just as good defensively and reading the field. She just didn’t have the stats.”
Cutty said that, “Most of my game is defense when we play teams that are a lot stronger than us. But when I get a chance I’m taking the ball and I’m going up.”
When it comes to scoring, Cutty feels her biggest strengths are her speed and the ability to place the ball. Belmont loves to watch her get space to work with.
“Most of her goals have been breakaways, one v one with the goalie and under that pressure she’s able to place the ball into the corners,” the coach said. “She’s also able to take some nice shots outside the 18, but I would say most of her goals have been from her running onto the ball or getting past the defenders and going one v one with the goalie.”
Beginning soccer at age 5, Cutty was like a college transfer portal kid early in her career. She started in Hamilton rec, then played travel with the Hamilton Wildcats, Hibernians, West WindsorPlainsboro, the New Jersey Rush and GAK.
“I just couldn’t find a team that suited me,” she said with a laugh.
That changed when she moved to
“He played center back and he was my first big role model,” Bridget said. “I grew up watching him play. He’s just a fantastic player, one of my biggest inspirations to this day.”
And, of course, there were the backyard battles with Maggie.
“We fight but at the end of the day she’s still gonna be my best friend no matter what,” Cutty said. “We have such a strong connection, nothing can break that, it’s so super special.”
As she came up through the ranks, Cutty never had a set position, but that didn’t matter.
“Wherever they needed me,” she said. “I just wanted to play. No matter what position, what type of game it was, I just wanted to be on that field.”
She got a taste of scoring with Match Fit, playing outside back and attacking center midfield. Her first year at Nottingham she played in the back and scored one goal.
Cutty showed flashes of what she could do after being moved to defensive midfield, scoring four goals in both her sophomore and junior years while tallying six and seven assists in those seasons.
“We would get compliments from coaches last year about how composed she is and how good of a player she is,”

Belmont said. “They liked her ball skills and how she helped us defensively. It was apparent that she had a lot of potential to grow and get where she is today.”
Cutty was willing to lay back and let Samonski score last season, and even this year she is not trying to hog the ball up front.
“Everything she does is natural,” Belmont said. “She’s out there to play the next best ball to whoever is open. She hasn’t been selfish on any of her goals, where I thought she could have given the ball to somebody else.
“She’s also provided assists to a lot of other girls. That speaks a lot to her character. She’s out there to win a game, to do what she has to do as a central midfielder and she’s been able to get some stats herself as well.”
Cutty feels that much of her offensive success comes from defending for so many years.
“One hundred percent,” she said. “Being in that defensive position I know where I’m going, so I’m assuming the person that’s defending me is gonna be in that same position so I just go the other way.” It doesn’t hurt to have a playmaker like Maggie on the field.
“She’s fantastic,” Cutty said. “She’s got a wicked shot, hopefully they can get her up front when I leave. She’s also a fantas-
tic defender.”
Belmont agrees, saying “ Maggie and Bridget control the center of the field for us really well. Maggie plays a little more defensively. Ball skill, attitude and effort are all there. I’m excited to see how Maggie develops over the next few years.”
The Cuttys efforts led Nottingham to an 8-8 record entering the CVCT, as the Northstars surpassed last year’s win total of seven. Bridget gives her new coach much of the credit.
“She’s so motivating,” Cutty said. “Everything she does has a strong purpose behind it. She wants everyone to be their best at all times, and that’s all you can ask for from a coach. She just wants 100 percent effort no matter how good of a player you are or if you’re still developing as a player.”
Bridget will continue to develop white playing at The College of New Jersey next year. A 4.0 honor student who is treasurer of Nottingham’s National Honor Society, she had a choice of schools and picked TCNJ for its health & exercise program. Cutty’s getting a head start on that in Nottingham’s Health Occupations Students of America club.
“I want to be an athletic trainer,” she said. “I watch a lot of Premier League soccer. I’m a huge Manchester United fan. I
love watching the medics that come on the field. As soon as I saw them do that I said ‘That’s what I want to do!’ It just went from there.”
Cutty was hoping her high school soccer life could extend a bit longer as she was excited for the state and county tournaments. Nottingham sat at 12 in power points as of Oct. 18 and should be back in the states for the first time since 2019.
And while Cutty gives Belmont credit for the turnaround, Belmont does the same with Cutty. .
“A lot of the younger girls look up to her as a role model,” the coach said. “She has been pretty motivational for them. When they see her taking things seriously and putting in the work, you could tell by the attitude of the girls around her that they’re looking up to her in that way.”
None of that is surreal. It’s how Cutty has gone about soccer all her life.
Peace of Mind.

Township of Hamilton 2024 Leaf Collection Program
Dear Hamiltonian,
Once again, the Fall Leaf season is upon us. For your convenience, Hamilton Township o ers our residents four ways to dispose of leaves:
GUTTER LEAVES
Due to Storm Water Management Regulations (NJAC 7:8) municipalities are required to follow strict guidelines for minimizing non-point source pollution. These new regulations require that: All non-containerized leaves should be placed in the gutter no more than seven (7) days prior to its scheduled pick up and leaves cannot be closer than ten (10) feet from the storm drain. The Township has created a detailed gutter leaf pick up schedule. Non-containerized gutter leaves will be picked up from October 28, 2024 through December 27, 2024, in accordance with the below schedule. After December 27, 2024, leaves can be placed in open bio-degradable paper bags or containers with handles only, and you may call 586-0311 for pick up. As always, leaves can be dropped o at the Ecological Facility on Kuser Road.
BAGGED LEAVES
Beginning on October 28, 2024 through December 27, 2024 leaf collection crews will pick up bagged leaves. Leaves may only be placed curb side in OPEN BIO-DEGRADABLE BAGS or open rigid containers with handles (NO PLASTIC BAGS OR RECYCLING BUCKETS). The weight of the open bio-degradable bag or container cannot exceed 50 pounds. You may also place your bagged leaves out for pickup during your scheduled gutter leaf collection. Once the leaf program ends, please call the HAMStat Call Center at 609-586-0311 for disposal guidelines.
DROP OFF
If you don’t wish to wait for collection, you may drop o your leaves at one of the convenient locations, available from October 21, 2024 though December 16, 2024, or at Hamilton’s Ecological Facility is open Monday though Saturday from 8am to 3:30pm.
ECOLOGICAL FACILITY
A nal option is to bring your leaves to Hamilton’s Ecological Facility on Kuser Road. The ecological Facility is open daily Monday though Saturday, 8am to 3:30pm with the exception of November 5, November 11th, November 28th and December 25th.
By recycling leaves, we remove approximately 12,000 tons per year from the waste stream and avoid approximately $1.67 million dollars in disposal fees. Recycling our leaves provides us with materials needed to make compost that is available to our residents at no cost. Hamilton Township is an environmentally conscious town. Through our environmental leadership and smart growth initiatives, we attained Greentown, USA status, making us one of just a few municipalities in the state to attain that distinction. If you have any questions about this program, please feel free to contact the HAMStat Call Center at (609) 586-0311 or visit our website at www.hamiltonnj.com

Juniper Village at Hamilton: Five Advantages to Moving During the Holidays
GENOLY CARING CENTER
Moving to a senior living community over the holiday season may seem like a difficult decision. However, there are many benefits of a holiday transition!
1
) Reduced Stress: The holidays can be a hectic time for everyone, but for older adults and their families, the pressure to host, prepare, and maintain can be overwhelming. Senior living communities alleviate this stress by providing staff to handle meals, housekeeping, and other daily tasks, allowing everyone to focus on enjoying the season.
2) Enhanced Connection with Others: During the holidays, loneliness can be a significant issue for older adults, especially those living alone. Senior living communities offer opportunities for socialization and sharing with others, which helps to foster purpose and belonging.
3) Safety and Wellbeing: The holiday season can pose safety risks, such as falls due to slippery surfaces
or poor weather conditions. Senior living communities provide a safe and secure environment with staff readily available to assist with daily activities and emergencies.
4) Peace of Mind for Family: For family caregivers, the holidays can add extra strain to already demanding schedules. Senior living communities provide peace of mind by ensuring that their loved ones have access to the services they need around the clock.
5) Access to Holiday Festivities and Events: Communities like Juniper organize an array of special holiday events, including festive meals, entertainment, and group outings. These programs provide opportunities to meet new people and celebrate the season in a joyful atmosphere.

9 questions with artist Leni Paquet-Morante
Thomas Kelly FIGHT IN THE MUSEUM
We began this Fight in the Museum column five years ago by interviewing artist Leni Paquet-Morante. Her work is more highly sought over now, and her style has expanded and blossomed.
Karl Kusserow, Senior Curator of American Art at Princeton University Art Museum, is organizing an exhibition for Morante in 2025. His observations are: “Leni’s work brings that most familiar and often most traditional artistic genre, landscape representation, in compelling new directions. Rooted in close observation of nature, her work moves beyond its literal reproduction to become something else: layered, complex, often abstracted evocations of diverse environments, which repay careful study by revealing something at once personal and broadly essential about our place in the world.”
Do you think your art has changed in the last 5 years?
My work five years ago was primarily making representational landscape paintings outdoors and that led to my interest in shallow water systems as muse. I made hundreds of plein-air works, experimented in the studio, and developed confidence with painting. I was as interested in drawing storm drains as tide pools, and in working small as much as large. I’ve pursued a more interpretive landscape recently, to the point that I rarely worked outside in 2024. My practice now includes painting on canvas and paper, monoprints, ink drawing, and sculpture, for an interpretation of landscape and water systems.
What are you representing with your images?
I’m interested in the notion of landscape, where an intuitive combination of images come together like pieces of a dream or memory. I like to think of the work as an opportunity to think of landscape as one would still life, or language, with parts that can be rearranged, have new scale relationships, new hierarchies. And, importantly, I’m interested in the work presenting evidence of its formation process.
Are people drawn to the colors or shapes? Or both?
What I’ve found is that the folks who are drawn to my work like its complexity,
they enjoy the little journey that happens when something they don’t recognize at first becomes clear with a little time. I think what they’re drawn to is that visual engagement, like letting your eye and mind wander within a busy fish aquarium. Some of your work borders on nonrepresentational. Do viewers feel drawn to that?
I’ve seen people stop dead in their tracks when they see my work, and others dismiss it immediately. It’s all representational to an extent, just through my filter; some get it some don’t. What’s fun is watching when someone challenges themselves to understand it, and then when the light goes on and their smile follows.
Do you paint on site (en plein air) or in the studio, or a combination? I do both, and sometimes, literally a combination in one piece. In the last two years I’ve done mostly studio work that explores a layering approach and negative space as object. I still make paintings of the lotus pond at Grounds For Sculpture because it provides an ever changing chaos of color and form which is really fun to work with; those paintings sell quickly and have been the core of my income this year. At the easel by the pond, I’ve become used to being asked if I’m real.
You show your work at art fairs yourself. How satisfying is it meeting the collectors first hand?
I’ve been fortunate to find success selling my work, and I’m grateful for an expanding collector base. It is hard work doing the outdoor festival gig and yet I
“Lotus Field, Heat Wave, acrylic by Leni Paquet-Morante.
have lots of different kinds of conversations. It’s been as rewarding helping a new collector choose a small drawing as it is to sell a large painting; and just as engaging to listen and respond to a struggling young artist with questions as it is to hear a musician explain what they see my work.
What fight or struggle do you currently have regarding your art?
I always say that if I’m not a little confused then I’m not working hard enough! Right now, I’m figuring out how to make a painting that builds on a series of small ink works that I made in 2023 and am using some new materials in that quest. I’m not really interested in making loads
of work that looks alike so my moving forward often results in work that looks different from the last. I see it as all the same though, as with enough time and hindsight even a meandering path seems straight.
How do you decide between painting on canvas, paper or making prints and drawings?
I move between materials for the opportunity to understand things differently. A brushed paint line on a canvas is a different thing entirely than a thin ink line on paper; each has a different personality and that can affect all notions of form making. I switch things up regularly to keep on my toes.
What do you have coming up? What are you looking forward to?
I’ve been tapped by a university museum for a solo exhibition in 2025. The curators are in the early stages of choosing work for that, and I’m eager to see their presentation and to engage with a wider community though their programming. Outside of that, I’m looking forward to seeing what will emerge on the enormous roll of Arches Hot Press paper that I just purchased!

Living life dangerously — on delay
Peter Dabbene COMPLEX SIMPLICITY
For years now, I’ve enjoyed the benefits of recording sporting events on my DVR and watching them after the original broadcast. This method has allowed me to bypass hours of commercials and follow my favorite teams (the New York Mets, Jets, and Knicks) without sacrificing most of my free time to the process.
It’s a dangerous game, though, and the past month, with the Mets in a playoff chase, has made that more evident than ever.
One risk of living life on delay is human failure—forgetting to set the DVR to record. But the primary hazard is the presence of spoilers—and I use that word to refer to both people and the words they use. Spoilers (the people) are usually innocent of any real malice; they’re either so excited about the results of some contest they can’t wait to share it, or they’re just oblivious to the fact that they’re giving anything away at all. I haven’t always had such a forgiving
attitude, however; in fact, I’d sometimes take it as an insult to my intelligence when people would say things like, “I won’t tell you what happened, but I think you’re going to like it,” or “I don’t think you’ll want to watch that,” somehow believing that I wouldn’t be able to decode their less-than-satisfactory attempts at crypticism.
It’s important to point out that these spoilers know, before they say anything, exactly where my team loyalties are. Yet their urge to speak is too compelling to resist. Can’t they entertain themselves by finding people who haven’t yet seen The Sixth Sense or The Empire Strikes Back, and revealing key plot points?
Individual giveaways are bad enough, but institutional ones are even worse.
During the 2024 Mets-Phillies National league Division Series, I asked the guys at my regular basketball pickup game to please not reveal anything about Game 3—which had started an hour before— because I was recording the game and intended to watch it later that night. They complied, which I appreciated, even if there were a couple of close calls during breaks when people would look at their
phones and I’d overhear a whisper of “Wow! Don’t tell Pete!” It was tantalizing, but didn’t give anything away, so no harm done.
After asking 12 sports-crazy men to alter their conversations for me, I got home and listened to my wife explain that she wasn’t able to flip channels on the TV because a warning about a potential conflict with the DVR schedule had popped onscreen. She knew I was recording the Mets game, so she’d sacrificed her daily dose of unsolved murder and/or wilderness survival shows, rather than risk disrupting the process. As a wise man named Huey Lewis once sang, “That’s the power of love.”
Later that night I turned on the TV, looking forward to watching my recording of the game, which, aside from allowing me to skip commercials and save time compared with a live viewing, also offered my heart the advantage of fast-forwarding through some of those unbearably stressful times when your team is in the field and nothing good can happen. Fast-forwarding through the opposition’s big offensive innings is ripping a bandage off quickly instead of subjecting oneself to slow torture.
I pressed play on the recording, and saw… a black screen. This brings me to another danger of life on delay: technological failure. It only happens rarely, but it does happen. Luckily, I thought to check the on-screen guide and see if the game was being repeated later at night (early morning, actually). I set the DVR to record the replay at 4 a.m., extended the end time of the recording by two hours to be safe, and went to bed, thinking I’d just have to wait a bit longer to see the game, while simply avoiding social media, TV, radio, newspapers, and conversations with sports fans. The next day I went about my business with tunnel vision, like a horse with blinders, avoiding any source that might reveal the outcome. Around noon, still unaware of the final score, I played the second recording. Sound. Color. All was good. I settled in, ready to watch the game, relieved that I’d made it without blowing any surprises. As the commentators discussed their opinions and predictions of what was to come, my eyes wandered to that danger zone of sports watching: the bottom of the screen, where scores from other games are posted, with brief descriptions of game
highlights. As hockey scores gave way to baseball results, I saw “Mets 7 Phillies 2” appear. I was confused: the score of the most recent Mets game was Mets 6, Phillies 7. Then details began to emerge, piece by piece, at the bottom of the screen: Pete Alonso hit a home run, Jose Iglesias and Starling Marte had 2 RBI apiece. These were events that happened in the game I was about to watch. Fox Sports 1 had spoiled its own game.
This happened to me a few times during the regular baseball season, when my recordings of SNY’s Mets Fast Forward, an hour-long recap of the previous day’s game, would inexplicably include results from the same game on their scroll. I don’t think it should require the wisdom of Solomon, nor the technical expertise of Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, to keep the final results of a game from appearing while the game is being shown. But since multiple TV channels have the same issue, maybe it’s more complicated than it seems.
Aside from TV conglomerates and their sports-related doom-scrolls, there’s also the ever-present danger posed by diners and chain restaurants. Any establishment that charges less than $50 a plate is likely to be stocked with TVs, with several inevitably tuned to the game you’re trying to record and watch—in its
Despite the risks, I plan to continue the practice of life on delay. The advantages outweigh the downside of an occasional spoiled game, and there’s a strange thrill that comes from avoiding spoilers. Because of the difficulty of doing so, the enjoyment of the game feels more “earned,” somehow. It’s like the opposite of having a secret.
There is one more drawback to living life on delay: you give up the ability to celebrate with other fans “in the moment.” For example, as I write this, I haven’t yet watched the end of the National League Championship Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Mets. So I wasn’t able to mark the occasion along with other Mets fans as they celebrated our team’s advance to the 2024 World Series. It must have been a great party, right? Right?
