‘Little White Church’ to mark 250 years in the Square

By

Upon entering First Presbyterian Church of Hamilton Square for Sunday service, one quickly senses a feeling of warmth and acceptance. It’s feels like being transported to a small-town church in Iowa back in the 1800s.

Take it from a Midwesterner.

“I definitely got that homey feel,” said Music Director Julie Caudle, who hails from Michi-

gan and joined the church in 2007. “People are very friendly. I felt accepted right away. My kids did Sunday School and Youth Group and had a good experience with that.”

Then there is Paul Tindall who, at age 88, has been a lifetime First Presbyterian member whose ancestors go back its origin.

“I may not be here if it was not a pleasant place to be,” Tindall said. “I’d probably look for

another church. We have other denominations here. They don’t come because it’s Presbyterian. I think they come because they want a friendly place. ”

The amiable environment is just one variable in the longevity of First Presbyterian, which will celebrate its 250th Anniversary with a banquet at the German American Club Oct. 18.

Technically the church’s first gathering was in 1772 and the

Q&A: Candidates for township council, board of education

EDITED BY JOE EMANSKI

There are two local races on the ballot in Hamilton, each featuring six candidates for three seats.

One is Hamilton Township Council, where incumbent Democrats Charles “Chuddy” Whalen, Rick Tighe, and Anthony Carabelli  Jr. are looking to retain their seats. Noah Barnacz, Rich Balgowan and Sean Lucas are the Republican challengers in that race.

And as usual, three seats are in play on the Hamilton Township Board of Education. In that nonpartisan election, there are two slates of three candidates each.

One slate features two incumbents, Dina Thornton and Jason McSheene III, as well as a former board member in Christopher Scales. The other includes candidates John Muka, Sean Chadwick and Jessica Trombo.

Hamilton Township Community Supporting Education, in conjunction with the Hamilton Township Education Association, plans to host a “Meet the Hamilton Township Board of Education Candidates” forum on Thursday, Oct. 9 at the Ham-

ilton Township Public Library. Five of the six candidates for the board of education have pledged to attend.

This is the 8th candidate forum organized by HTCSE.

The Hamilton Post is continuing its annual tradition of covering the elections this year. We have sent surveys to all of the candidates, and their bios and responses to our questions are below. Answers have been lightly edited for clarity.

Noah Barnacz, 23, has lived in Hamilton his whole life. He is a bartender at Pete’s Steakhouse Tavern on Whitehorse Avenue, and also director of communications and public relations for the Mercer County GOP.

He says that he is in a serious relationship with his girlfriend, Bella. His mother, Tracy, is a real estate agent, father Stephen is a union electrician, and his step-parents are Bobby and Adria. This is his first time running for elected office.

Anthony Carabelli, 49, has lived in Hamilton for 13 years. He is the director of the Mercer County Department of Economic Development. Carabelli

Child Abuse Prevention Task Force launches campaign

The Hamilton Township Mayor’s Office, the Hamilton Township Police, Hamilton Township School District, and the Hamilton Area YMCA have united to create the Child Abuse Prevention Task Force, a community-wide effort focused on protecting children and supporting families through awareness, education, and access to trusted resources.

Child sexual abuse is a serious issue affecting families everywhere. Research indicates that: 1 in 10 children experiences sexual abuse before they turn 18; in 93% of cases, the child knows and trusts the abuser; and 60% of children who are sexually abused never disclose their experiences. One in five children is sexually assaulted online.

The CAP Task Force’s stated goal is to create a cohesive message shared throughout the township—raising awareness of child safety and ensuring families can access the resources and tools needed to prevent abuse, recognize warn-

ing signs, respond effectively, and ultimately keep children safe.

“Ensuring that children are safe, supported, and able to thrive is the highest priority of the YMCA,” said Diana Zita, CEO of the Hamilton Area YMCA. “We are committed not only to protecting children within our programs, but also to empowering families and the wider community with information that helps keep kids safe everywhere. It is the power of our community knowing, seeing, and responding that makes it harder for offenders to harm children.”

Hamilton receives million-dollar grant for new fire engine

Hamilton Township has secured another $1 million in state budget funding dedicated to the purchase of a vital new fire engine for the Hamilton Township Fire Division for the second time in two years, according to a joint announcement made by Hamilton mayor Jeff Martin, Sen. Linda Greenstein, Assemblyman

Wayne DeAngelo, Assemblywoman Tennille McCoy, and acting fire chief Steven Kramer.

The acquisition is seen as part of the department’s broader initiative to modernize its fleet.

“This new engine will play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of our community,” Martin said in a statement. “We are thankful for the continued support from our state leaders, who recognize the importance of equipping our fire division with the necessary tools to protect residents and property by assisting us with another million just two years later.”

Township Division of Health now nationally accredited

The Hamilton Township Division of Health has earned national accreditation from the Public Health Accreditation Board — which the township says is a recognition of the division’s commitment to providing high-quality public health services to the community.

The Hamilton Township Division of Health now stands alongside the New Jersey Department of Health and just six other local health departments in the state that have earned the distinction. Additionally, Hamilton is the largest non-

county health department in New Jersey to receive the distinction.

Nationally, there are only 454 accredited health departments across state, local, county, and tribal levels, out of over 3,300 department nationwide.

“Achieving PHAB accreditation reaffirms our commitment to deliver essential public health services, protect against health threats, and improve the wellbeing for everyone who lives, works, and plays in Hamilton,” said Kathleen Fitzgerald, director of health. “It also reflects the dedication of our staff, the strength of our partnerships, and our commitment to building a healthier Hamilton.”

In recognizing the township’s division of health, PHAB specifically mentions the division’s strong community partnerships, abilities to assess population health needs, equitable access to public health services and a strong workforce that meets the needs of the community.

PHAB, a nonprofit organization established in 2007, oversees the national accreditation program for public health departments across the country. Its stated mission is to strengthen public health by encouraging performance improvement, innovation, and a strong infrastructure. PHAB’s accreditation process is backed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The program mission is to focus on Foundational Capabilities and aligns with the 10 Essential Public Health Services — a framework for what health departments should be doing to keep communities safe and healthy.

Friday , Oct 31st for

first formal worship service was in 1774, but planning for the anniversary was sidetracked by Covid, which made the semi quincentennial celebration a year late.

Pastor Kyle Doebler, who began serving in 2021, is proud to play a role in the milestone after serving at churches in San Francisco, Ohio and other parts of New Jersey.

“It’s an incredible privilege to be part of a community that has such deep roots,” said the Virginia native, who oversees a congregation of around 350. “To be part of that big story that God is writing in this community and congregation, to be associated in this chapter is humbling. I’m part of something that’s way bigger than me.

“It’s been going on here before this country was even a thing. It is doing something today that would be recognizable to those people back in 1772. They would say’ Yeah, that’s in line with why we started this all those years ago.’”

Church historian Paul Neu did exhaustive research to speak about 25-year blocks of history each month at services. The North Jersey native moved to Hamilton with wife Alison in 1983 and they have been members ever since.

“The thing that impresses me is how the little congregation that gathered in 1772 has continued to flourish and grow through the founding of our nation, multiple wars and recessions, while providing an anchor of peace and faith in the community,” Neu said of the impact his research had on him. “As I look back in amazement at what happened in our history, I am just as amazed at all the outreach and assistance the congregation provides to Hamilton and Robbinsville, as well as Mercer County.”

THE HISTORY

Located on Nottingham Way across the street from its Church Yard cemetery –established in 1786 – First Presbyterian is easily distinguishable as the all-white structure with stained glass windows, a red door and majestic steeple.

Next store is the home of Linda Woodman, who moved to Hamilton in 1963 and bought the house with her late husband Woody because it was two doors away from a Presbyterian Church. Their daughter Jean and son Jim would watch the parking lot being built.

“We’ve seen two major additions – the kitchen and rooms next to it, and the east wing with offices, parlor, elevator, music room, classrooms . . . and air conditioning!” Jean said. “My dad helped raise enough money to install a commercial dishwasher in the kitchen. They did it in five minutes during a congregational meeting because they were tired of washing dishes by hand.”

The Woodmans, Tindalls and numerous other dedicated members have been driving forces behind the church for decades. The Woodman family has combined to hold practically every position there is in the church, from elder to deacon, from bible school to Sunday school teachers, from committees to choir. Paul and Donna Tindall, who met and were married in the church and raised their family there, have had an equal impact. Paul has served at every level possible short of pastor and the couple currently oversees fellowship coffee hour.

“There is no better spokesperson for this congregation than someone who has spent their entire life here,” Doebler said. “They know first-hand the power of belonging to a congregation like this. They’ve been through it all.”

Paul Tindall’s great, great grandmother was an original church member in the 1700s and the family just kept coming. Paul noted that in the 1940s and 50s it was a hub of local activity with picnics and dinners, and that men wore jackets and ties (which he still does) and women wore dresses and hats to service.

“There weren’t too many other social outlets back then,” he said. “This was the only act in town. We had picnics and dinners. The Baptist and Methodist churches came a little later. The families were all intertwined. All the young people I knew when I was growing up married people in the church.”

Jean Woodman, another encyclopedia of church knowledge, recalled that in the 1960s, there were congregation complaints about housing going up around the church, and inquiries were made to charter a new church on Route 33 to hold the burgeoning population.

“I’m so glad the presbytery said no,” she said, and with good reason. Memories.

“I am my father’s child,” said the daughter of a handyman. “I have climbed into the steeple and crawled in the dirt under the preschool rooms and most spaces in between.”

Those were places that didn’t exist when the foundation was laid.

According to Neu’s time line:

In 1772 Hamilton and Allentown Presbyterian shared the Rev. Willliam Schenck one Sunday per month. Pastorsharing continued with Allentown until 1840 and Hamilton then shared ministers with Dutch Neck Presbyterian.

The first two structures were erected across Nottingham Way, one in 1778 (used to hide farmers’ sheep from the British during the Revolution) and another in 1837 that seated 100.

The current edifice went up in 1867 and held 250. Rev. Isaac Van Wert Schenck became the first full-time pastor and his name can be seen with all the other pastors on a stained glass window. The original steeple was knocked off by a hurricane in the 1870s and the 800-pound bell rolled free, but was installed in the existing smaller steeple.

The Church Yard was established across Nottingham Way and the headstone of Betsy Hutchinson states that she was the first to be buried there. A columbarium and Memorial Garden were added in the early 2000s, where a Sunrise Easter Service is held.

Other notables buried in the yard are soldiers from the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, US congressmen Dr. George Robbins and Dr. Charles Skelton, the latter having founded Trenton public schools; local historian Joseph West and author Helen Almay West, who wrote the definitive history of Hamilton.

So how his this church lasted?

Doebler took over during the tail end of Covid – when several institutions faltered -- and credited previous pastors Doug Cornelius and Nick Van Gombos and the membership for their efforts before he arrived.

“This congregation kept looking for ways how we can be together,” the pastor said. “This church is not afraid of doing big things. All I did was listen to them and say ‘OK, let’s put these ideas into action.’”

THE MUSIC

One of the church’s drawing cards is its music program, which has blossomed under Caudle. When she joined with husband Ty (a North Carolina native), Julie played piano for the Praise Team; eventually became Praise Team leader and took over as Music Director in 2013.

“I believe the purpose for me is to bring others closer to God in worship the right way,” she said. “I think through all these music groups it’s an enrichment for them (as people) as well as learning to play or sing music.”

Caudle runs back and forth on Sundays, playing both an organ that is over 100 years old, and a piano dedicated to the memory of Woody Woodman.

She praises the musical talent “from ages eight to 80,” that she works with and said “it keeps people coming back. Some know music, some don’t. We welcome everybody.”

Caudle oversees the choir, plans the music and hires its directors. She remains in charge of the Praise Team and also

“Julie has had some off-the-wall ideas that have just worked because of her giftedness in leading this music program,” Doebler said. “One of our youth came to Julie with an idea to use metal music. I was a little iffy on that and Julie said ‘I promise it will work.’ She loves all kind of music; she loves investing in musicians and sharing her art. Music is a big deal, it’s one of the reasons why people come here and why people stay.”

OUTREACH

Many who stay believe in the church’s charitable missions.

Community service has included building house frames in the church parking lot with Habitat for Humanity and serving meals at the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen. When Sandy hit, members went to the shore to help rebuild. On its first service day this year (Oct. 12) church members will have a chance to participate in a variety of service opportunities in Hamilton.

First Presbyterian administers Ginny’s Pantry; a food pantry operated in partnership with Christ Presbyterian in Hamilton and United Presbyterian Yardville. It donates to Shine and Inspire to aid students at Robinson and Sunnybrae schools, and partners with Mobile Meals of Hamilton, Mercer Street Friends, Trenton Area Soup Kitchen, Homefront, Help Build Hope, Anchor House, Woman Space, Arm in Arm, Camp Johnsonburg and Presbyterian Disaster Assistance.

Fundraisers that service the community are an annual rummage sale (Oct. 4 this year) and a lasagna dinner on Election Day.

“In the 19th century we were part of the missionary movement that sent people out West and to Asia and South America,” Woodman said. “We still support mission in other areas but have learned to focus on the local community. Over the years we have become good at responding to needs that were not addressed by social programs at the time – keeping homeless families together, providing clothes and breakfast for young students.”

Asked his impression of the church’s outreach and Doebler responds, “Oh my gosh!”

“If people want to invest in their community or their neighborhoods, the best thing they could do is invest in this congregation,” he said. “So much of what we do goes back out to the community.

“I think about the number of lives this church has touched. We have multi-generational families that have sent their kids

Hamilton Post: Tell us about the moment that you decided to run, or run again, for township council:

Peace of Mind.

His father, Anthony Carabelli Sr., who died in 2023, was a Mercer County elected official serving for over 45 years in local and county government. He is completing his second term as a member of council, having won elections in 2017 and 2021.

Sean Lucas, 55, has lived his entire life in Hamilton. He works as an account executive. He is married for 26 years and has two children: Christian, 23, who serves in the National Guard, and Emma, 20, who is studying to become a nurse.

Rick Tighe, 54, has lived in Hamilton for more than 40 years. He works as a business development officer. He says he has grown up surrounded by family in Hamilton, with “loving parents, my siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles all nearby and with my grandparents a short bike-ride away.”

He has served on the township council for the past eight years, and currently serves as president of the council.

Noah Barnacz: I decided to run for council this past February because I believe Hamilton’s Government needs younger representation with fresh ideas to make our town friendlier and more obtainable for all generations to live, work, and start families in.

Charles “Chuddy” Whalen, 66, was born and raised in Hamilton. He retired as assistant business manager, Plumbers and Pipefitters Local No. 9 and served as a welfare and pension trustee for more than 30 years.

His parents are Charles and Dorthey, and his wife is Susan (Florio) Whalen. He has two sons, Sean and Charles IV, and daughter Jamie Lynn. He was appointed to council in 2020, succeeding Jeff Martin who had been elected mayor. He was re-

Anthony Carabelli: I decided to run for a third term for Hamilton Council in early 2025. I truly enjoy serving the residents of Hamilton and look forward to the progress of several projects including the new Municipal/School Board Complex and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia development at the former AMC location. I have a very collaborative relationship with Mayor Jeff Martin and other community organizations and enjoy addressing the concerns and issues of our community.

Sean Lucas: I decided to run for township council because taxpayers deserve better. For too long, residents have carried the burden of unnecessary tax hikes and runaway spending pushed through by one-party Democrat rule with no checks and balances. I grew tired of sitting on the sidelines while families struggled under these policies. I’m committed to protecting taxpayers, restoring accountability, and bringing responsible leadership that puts our taxpayers first, not paybacks.

Rick Tighe: We have a record of accomplishment that I am proud of.  We have proven ourselves to be effective

Barnacz

leaders for this community that I grew up in and love.  I am running because we have more work to do for Hamilton and I am looking forward to working with Mayor Martin and my Council colleagues to keep Hamilton America’s Favorite Hometown.

Chuddy Whalen: I have always been involved in local and county politics supporting other candidates. As a member of my local union, it always bothered me that local contractors and workers did not have the ability to work on projects here in Hamilton. I have always advocated to hire local. Seeing local people on the job at the new Municipal Complex motivated me to run for Council again, knowing my work is having a positive impact.

HP: What makes Hamilton Township a great place to live?

Barnacz: The people of Hamilton are our townships greatest asset. We are hard workers with just as much kindness for our neighbors as we have grit to get things done.

Carabelli: The people of Hamilton are what makes our town so great. Each neighborhood is filled with neighbors who look out for each other and want to live in a town that is clean, safe and beautiful.

Additionally, you have such a great mix of housing in Hamilton including rural,

suburban and urban environments with parks throughout and then, the convenience of great restaurants, shops and food stores all within a short driving distance from your home.

Lucas: Everyone has different reasons why Hamilton is a great place to live; here are just a couple of mine. Hamilton has the best location in New Jersey with small-town charm with a centralized location between two great cities of NYC and Philly, and only an hour away from the mountains and some of the best beaches. Our community is filled with hard working families, strong neighborhoods and beautiful parks that bring people together. We have a proud history, a diverse population and local businesses that keep our economy going. Most of all, it’s the people of Hamilton that make it special.

ilton an attractive place for new re-development and great economic opportunities.  We have cultural and recreational resources like Grounds for Sculpture and our parks.  If you want to leave Hamilton, we have the benefit of being close to Philadelphia, New York City, the Jersey Shore, the Highlands and Pine Barrens but as always, Hamilton is a great place to come back home to.

Barnacz: I generously award the township a D letter grade for their performance in the last year. They have raised taxes another 5% this year with no improvements to constituent services. The current council has created several hazardous situations by creating variations to the townships zoning codes.

Tighe: Hamilton is a safe, quiet, affordable, family-oriented, close-knit community.  We have great companies and nonprofits that always give-back to make Hamilton even better tomorrow than it is today. Those organizations make Ham-

Whalen: Hamilton is a great place to live because of the people who live and work here. Hamiltonians care, they love our parks, our restaurants, our shops, and our youth sports. The township has a strong sense of community with regular events, both public and private, that bring the community together. The town offers a mix of urban, suburban and rural neighborhoods for whatever someone is looking for. Taken together, it is that sense of belonging — both to people who are new to town and those that have lived here their whole life like me.

HP: Grade the job that the township council has done in the past year.

Carabelli: Here’s a polished response that balances transparency, positivity, and a focus on constructive progress: I am proud of the progress we have made over the past year. I would give us an A- for our collective efforts. We have been laser focused on key issues such as keeping Hamilton affordable, improving our infrastructure, enhancing public safety, and supporting local businesses. By partnering with organizations like Aqua and PSE&G, we have been able to improve our critical infrastructure, while getting the subsequent repaving of our roads done at no cost to the Hamilton taxpayer.

This out of the box thinking accomplishes two of our goals at the same time. That said, there are always areas for improvement, particularly in fostering more community engagement and addressing budgetary challenges.

Lucas: It’s an F! While the question asks about the past year, in fairness,

See COUNCIL, Page 16

Carabelli

their entire term must be judged. This council has raised taxes year after year, up to 27%, spending up 60%, placing an unfair burden on taxpayers. Families and seniors are being squeezed, and instead of exercising fiscal discipline, the council approved 45 unclassified patronage positions, subsidized with temporary COVID relief funds.

That money should have gone to real recovery, not political favors. When the funds ran out, taxpayers were left holding the bag. Yet, they put out an ad claiming they’ve kept Hamilton “affordable.” Nothing could be further from the truth. Their record is runaway spending, higher taxes and no accountability. Hamilton residents deserve balance, responsibility and leaders who put taxpayers first.

vital importance are the ever-rising high property taxes, and overdevelopment of warehouses. Our platform addresses these issues by imposing a hiring freeze on non-emergency township positions until every department is audited dollar by dollar. Secondly, we will return our towns zoning codes to a state where it is unattractive for building developers to construct warehouses that sit vacant and tax exempt for ten years causing residential property taxes to increase.

Carabelli: Two of the most pressing issues facing Hamilton Township right now are the reliability of Trenton Water Works and maintaining financial stability when faced with rising costs.

Trenton Water Works has been a significant concern for many Hamilton residents due to water quality and reliability issues. As a council member, I will continue to advocate for stronger oversight and work to ensure that Trenton Water Works meets the highest standards of service. I’ll continue to push for a regional facility that would reduce the risk of water service interruptions and contamination.

Tighe: Some accomplishments that I am proud of and know our voters should be to include the preservation of open space, including the preservation of the Kuser Woods property and the protection of farmland in our rural resource conservation zone. We have maintained a continued focus on redevelopment, including bringing a new Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania facility to the AMC site, the future construction of a solar field on our old landfill, the construction of our new municipal building, and the cleanup of long-neglected brownfields.  We continue to fight for the regionalization of Trenton Water Works in order to best ensure clean, safe drinking water for our residents.  None of these are easy, but they all make a substantial improvement in our town.

Secondly, fiscal oversight is critical to ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent efficiently and responsibly. I will continue to streamline expenses and ensure that funds are directed toward priority projects like infrastructure improvements and public safety. We must maintain financial stability while meeting the growing needs of our community, especially when faced with rising healthcare and inflationary costs.

Whalen: I would give our performance an A. We have created more open space, specifically where we fought to kill the warehouse project on Kuser Road. We revitalized the former K-Mart shopping with the addition of Rothman Orthopedics and the Grocery Outlet and are in the middle of turning around Mercerville Shopping Center by adding Capital Health and Sprouts, turning these properties around into a more vibrant use. By bringing in good redevelopment, we also ensure there are jobs and conveniences for Hamiltonians. I feel that council is engaging with businesses and residents on what issues are most important to them.

HP: What are two issues of vital importance in the township right now, and how will you address them as a member of council?

Barnacz: The two biggest issues of

Lucas: Two issues of vital importance in Hamilton are runaway taxes and spending, and the ongoing problems with Trenton Water Works. Families are being crushed by consecutive tax hikes, and it’s clear the current council has failed to prioritize the taxpayers. As a member of council, I will push for zero-based budgeting, forcing every department to justify spending rather than automatically increasing budgets. This approach brings accountability, eliminates waste, and eases the burden on residents.

Equally urgent is the Trenton Water Works crisis, which has jeopardized public health and erodes trust. We need to get experts in the room and have an honest conversation. Do we privatize, or keep it government run? I will push for whichever path ensures safe, reliable water at the best value for Hamilton residents

Tighe: Clean drinking water is of paramount importance.  We support region-

Whalen

Tighe

alizing Trenton Water Works to ensure Hamilton will have a say in how this facility is run. This will bring needed improvements and impose transparency regarding our water supply. As council president, I am supportive of the ongoing efforts by the mayor and his team to bring about this necessary reform to TWW, including the lawsuit that we initiated several years ago.

We continue to advocate for the preservation of open space and farmland in our town and I am proud we have preserved hundreds of acres in my time on Council. By acquiring more open space, we ensure an more trees to clean our air and absorb water to prevent flooding. We can’t live without clean water and clean air so there can be nothing more vital to ensure both TWW and open space remain priorities.

Whalen: Our job is to ensure the public health and safety of Hamilton at an affordable cost. Under this administration we held taxes in check for three of the last five years. By bringing in millions of dollars of grants each year, we ensure key improvements to the town are made such as new firetrucks but at little to no cost to Hamiltonians. We also partnered with our Board of Education and approved three SRO (School Resource Officers) at our three middle schools — ensuring the children of Hamilton go to school in a safe environment. We now have more police officers today than in the last 15 years. To ensure our town is healthy, we worked with our Health Division helping them to achieve national accreditation — something only done by six other local health departments in New Jersey.

HP: For incumbents: What are your top 2 or 3 accomplishments during your time in office?

Carabelli: I am very proud of the reforms that we have seen at our animal

shelter. This was a total team effort with volunteers, elected officials and employees coming together to affect significant, positive change. We now have an animal shelter manager, policies and procedures in place, and a welcoming environment for our animals to find their forever home.

I am also pleased to have supported many business initiatives during and after the pandemic. Some of them include: extending outdoor dining; investing in propane tanks for restaurants; creating short term mortgage and rental assistance; and providing over $500,000 in small business grants.

Finally, I have looked for ways to improve safety in our town. Whether it is consolidating our fire districts or adding new police officers, I know public safety is paramount to ensure Hamilton remains a great place to live, work and raise a family.

Tighe: When we were first elected, we pledged to prioritize public safety and deliver responsive municipal services for our township. We honored our commitment to public safety by leading one of the most significant government streamlining initiatives in New Jersey’s history.

By consolidating nine separate fire districts into a single township fire division, we reformed the chain of command and optimized resource allocation all without laying off a single firefighter like Gov. Chris Christie’s administration advocated for. This restructuring not only enhanced emergency response capabilities—it is also saving the Township millions of dollars.

One unexpected area that demanded my attention was our animal shelter. Early in our term, it became clear that the shelter was in crisis. We acted to implement key reforms and allocate the necessary resources to help the shelter achieve

There is only one team fighting for clean, safe water for our families

Clean, safe water isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity! We can count on Councilmen Anthony Carabelli Jr., Rick Tighe and Charles “Chuddy” Whalen to continue to stand up to Trenton Water Works and fight for Hamilton families by working with state and local leaders to create a regional water utility.

consistently maintain no-kill status.

STORY continued from Page 17 constituent services. My experience as director of communications for the Mercer County GOP has instilled in me the importance of community outreach and has given me those skills to bring back to Hamilton through my fresh perspective.

Experience matters.

Whalen: For years, previous administrations only talked about a new municipal complex. This administration followed through and delivered with that commitment, we acquired the former shop rite, cost cutters property on Whitehorse Mercerville Road. Not only will this eliminate the need to carry two buildings — each roughly 100 years old — but the new facility will be a central hub in our town for working with the township or board of education.

At Juniper we take great pride in who is on our team. Our people are the key to what makes Juniper the most trusted choice in senior living.

Not only are we fully staffed, but we also consistently exceed state-required staffing levels. We do not use temporary staffing agencies. Employee turnover is low and tenure is long. This perfect combination makes you feel at home.

Next would have to be the recent announcement that Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia has acquired the former AMC theater site on Sloan Avenue. This will provide children of Hamilton and the surrounding towns with a state-of-the-art health care facility right here in Hamilton, avoiding the stress of traveling to Philadelphia for their care. Both of these projects will change Hamilton for the better and I am proud to be a part of them.

HP: For challengers: What makes you the most qualified candidate currently running for Hamilton Township Council?

Barnacz: What qualifies me the most to take office this January is my energetic commitment to making Hamilton more affordable for residents of all ages and

Lucas: I will bring a fresh perspective to Hamilton Township Council. My experience working with people across different backgrounds has taught me how to listen, build consensus, and take action that benefits residents—not political insiders. I understand the importance of transparency and accountability in local government, and I will make sure residents’ voices are truly heard.

I know firsthand the struggles families face with rising taxes, overdevelopment, and declining services. That perspective, combined with my leadership skills and dedication, makes me ready to serve Hamilton effectively. As a challenger, I am not tied to the old way of doing things. I will approach problems with new energy and a solutions-driven mindset, always putting the taxpayer and the community first.

MAJOR EXPANSION OF HEART AND VASCULAR CARE in Trenton at Capital Health Regional Medical Center

Capital Health has officially opened a new, state-of-the-art Heart and Vascular Center at Capital Health Regional Medical Center (RMC), located at 750 Brunswick Avenue in Trenton, marking a significant expansion that covers 12,650 square feet with three operating rooms: one cardiac surgery room for open-heart procedures, one hybrid operating room, and one catheterization laboratory for interventional procedures. The new center also includes six pre-/post-op bays (two dedicated to cardiac surgery), support offices, and staff accommodations.

“Born in Trenton, I take great personal satisfaction in knowing what this means for our neighbors and community and their health care. For more than 125 years, Capital Health has been a part of the Trenton community. Preserving cardiac surgery and developing this resource for patients was incredibly important to all of us,” said Samuel J. Plumeri, Jr., chairman, Capital Healthcare Inc. Board of Trustees. “Thanks to the support of our elected officials, the Department of Health, and other partners, our new Heart and Vascular Center provides residents of Trenton and surrounding neighborhoods greater access to the most advanced cardiovascular care possible.”

“The people who live in New Jersey’s capital city deserve to have a health care system that provides the full range of acute life-saving services. With cardiac surgery, advanced stroke and neuroscience care, and trauma services all under one roof, our Regional Medical Center is an incredible health care resource - which is what Trenton deserves,” said Al Maghazehe, president and CEO of Capital Health. “I am enormously proud of the entire Capital Health team and grateful to all of our partners in state government and the community for the work it took to get this done.”

“As physicians, we are excited to be able to begin caring for patients in these state-of-the-art facilities,” said Dr. Joseph Auteri,

board certified, fellowship trained cardiothoracic surgeon and medical director at Capital Health’s Heart and Vascular Institute. “This new suite of operating rooms will allow us to provide the latest treatment options - often combining open procedures and endovascular procedures into a single operative case for patients. This allows for quicker recovery and better outcomes, and it allows us to treat more complex problems. We’ve already assembled a multidisciplinary team of physicians that work together for the best patient outcomes; now we have the facilities to execute this exceptional care.”

The project was made possible through $22 million in state grant funding awarded in partnership with Governor Murphy and representatives for state Legislative District 15, which includes Senator Shirley Turner, Assemblywoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson, and Assemblyman Anthony Verrelli.

Clinical teams from the Capital Health Heart and Vascular Institute will be providing a wide range of advanced services in the new Center, including cardiac surgery, open and minimally invasive vascular surgery, cardiac catheterization, cardiac electrophysiology (minimally invasive treatments for irregular heartbeats and other disturbances of the heart rhythm), and structural heart care (minimally invasive treatments for heart valve conditions, atrial septal defects, patent foramen ovale and other structural issues of the heart).

The Heart and Vascular Center at RMC is part of the larger Capital Health Heart and Vascular Institute, which offers comprehensive care with a multi-specialty approach. For more information, visit www.capitalheartandvascular.org.

Morgan Elementary crossing guard an ‘Unsung Superhero’

Leo Foy, a crossing guard for the Hamilton Township School District, has been named one of New Jersey School Boards Association’s Unsung Superheroes in Education for 2025, the school district has announced.

Foy won in the crossing guard category. He will be honored along with other Unsung Superheroes on Oct. 21 at the Atlantic City Convention Center during NJBA’s annual Workshop Week.

While Foy has worked as a district crossing guard for 20 years, for the last 15 years, he has been at the corner of Stamford Road and Delotto Drive across the street from Morgan Elementary School. Morgan students call him Mr. Leo as they greet him each morning. And, at the age of 92, he is likely one of the oldest — if not the oldest — crossing guards in the state of New Jersey.

Some days, he rides his electric bicycle to school. Other days, he might arrive in his 20-year-old Honda Element. Each day, he shares a smile and warm greetings as he helps students and adults navigate safely to school. By his count, the cross-

ing guard gig is the fourth job he has had during his lifetime.

Foy was one of 17 children. His first job was in a coal mine in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. He eventually moved to Hamilton—with 7 siblings in tow—to work for U.S. Steel in Morrisville, Pennsylvania.

After 35 years in steel, he became a director of facilities for McCorristin School. Not wanting to sit around idly after the school job ended, he became a crossing guard. During the summer, when schools are closed, Mr. Leo takes care of the gardens at the Sayen House.

Foy acknowledges that he has weathered many ups and downs over the course of 92 years. He lost a daughter to cancer in June. Shortly thereafter, his grandson, Trenton police officer Timothy Long, died in a car accident.

He lost his wife in 2003 having been married for 52 years. And yet, Foy maintains that some of his “hardest times were the best times of my life.”

He maintains that not watching television and keeping busy is a key to longevity. He works out on equipment in his

basement.

“He is a key member of the Morgan School community. We thank him for his service and for being our Unsung Hero,” said Scott Rocco, superintendent.

Michael Giambelluca, the Morgan principal, calls Foy an integral part of the Morgan School community.

“He always has a positive word for students and parents first thing in the morn-

ing and at the end of the day,” Giambelluca said. “Should he need to take a day off, he is missed. Students will stop me to ask: Where is Mr. Leo?”

Students love to run into Mr. Leo in town at ShopRite. During the summer, they seek him out in Sayen Gardens.

“For the students,” Giambelluca noted, “he is more than a crossing guard; he’s a trusted adult and friend.”

Bates continuing a family legacy for Spartans field

By Ric H Fis HER

There’s only one way to say it.

Jordan Bates is a Steinert field hockey legacy.

Well, there might be a few other ways, but that will do for now. And it’s not a bad title to have.

Bates’ mom, the former Janine DeLorenzo, was a Spartan standout in the 1990s as she made the varsity as a freshman and became Steinert’s leading scorer.

Janine’s daughter is maintaining the family tradition in only her sophomore year. Through the Spartans 3-3 start she was tied for the team lead with three goals after collecting four goals and two assists as a freshman.

“Her skills have been developing a lot,” Spartan coach Lorraine LaMontagne said prior to a mid-week practice. “She’s gone to lots of camps and clinics and all that. From last year to this year she’s developed quite a bit of confidence in how she plays. You wouldn’t know she was a sophomore unless you asked her.

“She’s really important as our centermidfielder as someone who helps distribute the ball and she’s very strong on the ball. Her skills in being able to move it throughout the midfield has allowed her to get it up to our forwards and help us score some more goals.”

Bates came into the program with experience, having played in the Borden-

town and Allentown recreation leagues. She was a dancer in her youth, but sports were always more her thing, as witnessed by her joining the family to watch football each weekend.

When she decided to abandon dancing in sixth grade, Janine was there with stick in hand.

“With dance, I just did it; and I just felt sports was more my thing,” Bates said. “I wanted to play when I was young because my mom played in high school. She has her articles in a little box of things she kept. We used to go out in the yard and play or we’d come over to the turf (at Steinert) or on the grass and practice.”

When Bates first began in Bordentown, she was baffled by all the whistles. But that’s par for the course with young players.

“I remember there was a lot going on with the rules and I was a little confused,” she said. “I had some good coaches who explained things to me; and my mom and I would watch films of other teams playing and it helped me pick it up a lot quicker.”

While Bates was in middle school, LaMontagne got word from the Allentown rec coaches that she had a good player coming her way.

“Her having that ability to play from such a young age is just so great,” the coach said. “She earned a varsity spot last year and was able to hang with all the

upper classmen. She slipped right in and played behind a senior, Gia DiMeglio, and she was able to keep up and hang skillwise with her. I don’t know if there were any growing pains, maybe just adjusting to the varsity level but I think she adjusted pretty seamlessly.”

Bates had no grand illusions of what could happen in her first year.

“I was just coming out here to have fun and enjoy my time,” she said. “I didn’t have too many expectations. I loved the team and I was very honored when I found out I made varsity.

“It took me a few games to get used to it, since some of the girls are very physical players. One game, I was marking up a senior who was a D-1 commit and that took some getting used to. My coaches helped me so much, the team encouraged me nonstop. I just love playing with them.”

“She’s very respectful of her line and she’s very quiet and soft-spoken,” LaMontagne said. “That’s just not her personality. She understands she’s still got years ahead of her but she also knows what she’s talking about and can help. People look at her and want her help.”

Bates gave her teammates props for helping her carry out her duties with minimal pressure.

“I know that my team trusts in what I say and we all have such a close relationship I know that if I tell them to do something, if I’m directing something, they’re not gonna get mad at me,” she said. “That helps a lot.”

Although Bates had more goals than assists in her first one-and-one-third seasons, LaMontagne still considers her a distributor whose main offensive purpose is to get her teammates the ball.

LaMontagne immediately put Bates at center-midfield, which probably ranks with goalie as the most important position on the field. She not only has to help set up the offense, but also get back on defense.

“I figured if she knew what she was doing as a freshman why not put her at center mid so I could groom her over the next four years to be that important player for me,” LaMontagne said. “She’s still willing to learn and is open to evaluating how she played and making adjustments.”

Much of Bates’ time is spent quarterbacking the offense, but as a freshman she had to walk a fine line of trying to take control while deferring to the upperclassmen.

“I think putting her in the place we’re putting her on offensive corners she’s gonna have more ability to score,” the coach said in midSeptember. “It’s still early in the season so we’re still working on that. But really, her job is to collect the ball, get it around who she needs to get it around and get it to the forwards.”

Bates has figured out a nifty way of doing that. She has developed what is currently her signature move: dribbling the ball up in the air to herself to get around defenders.

“That’s always fun to watch,” LaMontagne said. “Even if I wasn’t coaching I’d be like ‘Oooh! Aaah!’ She taps it up and around people. It’s super-duper.”

It must be, to get someone to use the term super-duper.

“That’s one of my favorite skills I picked up,” Bates said. “I practiced it a lot, especially going into this year. I’ve had a lot of games where it comes so natural. I’m happy in a game to use it to get around girls.”

Making it more impressive is that the move was self taught. “I learned it in my room and my backyard,” Bates said. “I was just working on it.”

Bates feels she has been less passive this year in the offensive end, which has allowed her to score more goals. But as a center-mid that is only half the game.

“She’s playing north, south, east, west; everywhere,” LaMontagne said. “She’s able to get back quick. Her block tackling skills are great.”

Due to having responsibility throughout the field, Bates knows one of her most important jobs is to stay in shape.

“I’m always running,” she said. “After practice sometimes, or on the weekends I run. I used to run track so that helps a lot. A lot of times on defense you can get stuck, when you’re getting the ball out and you pass it off and there’s a fast break you have to be in shape to keep up with it.”

In assessing the most important aspect to center-mid, Bates said, “You really have to have your eyes everywhere on the field. You can’t get stuck looking at just one girl or the ball the whole time. It’s

all about your positioning too.”

Bates plays the same position in lacrosse, so she is honing those type of skills in the fall and spring. In between she is a sophomore representative for Steinert’s Student Government, and a member of the Teens on Fire Club that volunteers at elementary schools.

And oh, by the way, she is the proud owner of a 4.8 grade point average.

That should help with college admissions, and Bates hopes to play lacrosse and/or field hockey at the next level.

But for now, she is trying to raise Steinert out of its recent doldrums with a strong core of young players.

“I’m very excited,” she said. “I love this group of girls so much, we have so much fun together and such good connections. I’m excited to see where we can go.

One thing is certain. Bates knows where she came from.

And she’s living up to the family legacy her mom established several years ago.

Hornets’ Brescio a success in switch from QB to linebacker

By Ric H Fis HER

When Matt Brescio was moved to linebacker prior to this season, he took it well.

“I was ready to go out there and hit people,” the Hamilton West senior said. Which is probably better than people hitting him as a quarterback.

“Yeah,” he said. “That’s the best way to put it.”

Switching Brescio to a full-time defender was the missing piece for football coach Mike “The Meatball Master” Papero’s linebacking corps, which he calls his best since having twin brothers Chris and Chase Cronce and Tolu Adeaga (a current West assistant) in 2019. Brescio is in the middle, flanked by Brandon Boswell and Christian Eagleton.

“It’s as good a group as any I’ve seen in the county,” Papero said after Hamilton’s 2-2 start. “They’re physical, they know the game, they work well off of each other. You’re not getting hit by just one of them. Where there’s one, there’s two or three.

“Matt was the one we were kind of looking for to round out this group. We have a little of everything with them. Brandon is a little better in coverage. Christian is great off the edge and Matt is that reliable guy in the middle. They all complement each other very well and that makes it tough on opposing offenses.”

Steve Gazdek, son of the late former Hornets coach of the same name, heads up the linebackers under defensive coordinator Tom Dolina. They work in tandem with D-line coach John Law and his crew of Shawn Blakely, Colby Muni, Ahmed Nafai, Brody Hunt and Daniel Figueroa who, unfortunately, is out for the season.

Asked his preference, Matt said, “just playing the game, anything I could do to help the team and have fun. I love football. It’s great.”

In ninth grade he quarterbacked the Hornets freshman team and was moved up to varsity late in the season so he got the opportunity to practice against the varsity defense.

As a sophomore, Brescio played outside linebacker with 17 tackles, and quarterback, where he completed 12 of 24 passes for 116 yards, two TDS and two interceptions. He was the starting quarterback entering last season but struggled through four games and was replaced by Cullen Bressler. He did not play defense at all.

This year, West’s coaches saw Brescio’s defensive potential and told him he would not be going back to QB.

The down linemen have occupied spaces and allowed the ‘backers to roam free and attack the quarterback, which is something West did very little of last season.

“We’ve been getting a lot of pressure from the inside,” Papero said. “A lot of it is because of Matt. Some of the blitzes we have we work with him and the defensive tackles. We’ve been trying to mix things up and put pressure on quarterbacks to make plays. He’s a big part of getting into the quarterback’s face and making him make bad throws or get rid of the ball a little quicker than they’d like to.”

At times he even gets to the quarter-

back, as witnessed by Brescio’s 2.5 sacks through four games (he missed several games after that with a hamstring injury).

“We’ve been doing pretty good at that,” Brescio said. “Obviously we’re gonna keep working at it. We have some things to work on when it comes to getting to the quarterback. But it’s definitely an improvement from last year and the year before. I’m seeing it from me and my teammates.”

Although his main function is to put pressure on the QB, Brescio will drop back on occasion.

“I wouldn’t say I don’t play coverage,” he said. “I can play coverage but I’m more a run stop and up the gut guy. I’d rather blitz than be in coverage.”

Brescio began football in Hamilton Pop Warner at age 7. He started as a center but before his career was over he played defensive end, quarterback, linebacker, running back and wide receiver.

“He handled it like a professional, he handled it with class,” Papero said. “There was no change in his attitude, no change in his work ethic. He kept showing up every day doing the best he could; just being a great teammate and great leader, which we expect from him.”

Instead of sulking, Brescio worked harder.

“We’re not very surprised, we know what type of athlete he is, what type of person he is, what type of football player he is,” Papero said. “Anything he does he gives 100 percent. He was our star in the off-season in the weightroom, he came in as good a shape as anybody we have.”

Putting Brescio at middle linebacker paid sharp dividends. Through four games he led the team in sacks and was second to Eagleton in tackles with 24. His presence helped improve one of Hamilton’s biggest problems. West recorded just 10 sacks all of last year and had nine entering game 5 this season.

“He’s a thumper in the middle,” Papero said. “He’ll have to drop back into coverage sometimes but he’s somebody who

just mans the middle. He does a great job blitzing, with timing up his blitz, finding the lanes to kind of squeeze through the line.

“In the run game, it’s tough for a lineman to try to come out and block him on the second level. He’s so strong and he’s got good quickness. He’s one of those old school, all-around, athletic, physical middle linebackers.

“He’s tough to block. He blitzes really well. He’s strong, he’s athletic, he does what he’s coached to do. He just has that physical talent, the mental discipline. And he’s somebody that will do anything we ask him. (His success) is not a great surprise. We knew how good he could be.”

Brescio’s athleticism allowed him to move from outside to the middle with no problem. The only difference was he did, in a way, return to quarterback as he is the defensive signal caller.

“The biggest difference is all the play calling,” he said. “Knowing what everyone’s assignment is, knowing what everyone is doing, what the reads are”

Brescio still needs to know some of the offense as he has been lined up at tight end and also in the backfield on occasion this season. He plays special teams and is a long snapper. Papero feels he can play any position except maybe cornerback.

“When you talk about somebody who is

willing and able to do everything for his team on the football field I can’t think of anybody better than Matt,” Papero said. “We’re all proud of him.”

The compliments paid to Brescio are flattering, but he is the first to admit the things he has done have been aided by the play of Boswell and Eagleton.

“I’m very confident in the two of them, they’re like my brothers,” he said. “We go out there and wreak havoc. I tell them what to do, when they’re going, when they’re staying back. I’m very confident in them as players and I know they have my back as well.”

It seems like most of the Hornets have each other’s back this season, as they won as many games in September as they did all of last year.

“It’s a different kind of feeling,” said Brescio, who is uncertain about his plans for next year. “Just more confidence, more positivity at practice. It’s completely different than anything I’ve experienced at the high school level.

“I’m having a great time out there. I’m just happy to be out there with my teammates. We’re doing a pretty good job on defense and hopefully we can keep it up, keep flying around. It’s all about having a good time.”

And there is no better time to be had than playing well and winning games.

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 November 3, 2025 through December 26, 2025, in accordance with the below schedule. After December 26, 2025, 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 off at the Ecological Facility on Kuser Road.

BAGGED LEAVES

Beginning on November 3, 2025 through December 26, 2025 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 off your leaves at one of the convenient locations, available from October 20, 2025 though December 19, 2025, or at Hamilton’s Ecological Facility is open Monday though Saturday from 8am to 3:30pm.

ECOLOGICAL FACILITY

A final 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 4, November 11th, November 27th, 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

Menendez keeps things together for Northstars’ soccer

By Ric H Fis HER

His name is Andres Menendez but Sean Fitzpatrick calls him “Elmer.” Huh?

“Elmer, because of the glue,” Menendez said cheerfully.

Again. . .huh?

“He is the absolute glue to our team,” Fitzpatrick said. “When everyone starts going every which way, he’s the guy who’s like ‘What are we doing here? Let’s get it together.’”

OK, now it makes sense. Especially to Menendez, the center midfielder on Nottingham High’s boys’ soccer team.

“I would consider myself the glue to the team,” he said. “I’m always everywhere on the field.”

It wasn’t always that way for the senior. When he first started playing academy soccer at age 7 for MLSA, and when he moved on to PDA, they played Menendez at outside back. He did get pushed up to the middle on occasion, and played enough to have confidence in himself.

“I switched roles for Nottingham because I knew I could bring good stuff to the midfield,” he said. “Playing defense was really my favorite thing. I am a true

defender but I also love playing in the middle. I think I’m a better defender but I still think I’m good at both.”

Through Nottingham’s first seven games, Menendez had neither a goal or an assist and yet Fitzpatrick had nothing but praise for his value. He plays around 70 minutes each game, listens to advice and – as a tri-captain along with Herb Addo and Lester Bracero – takes his leadership role seriously.

“He’s fully bought in,”

Fitzpatrick said. “I’ve talked to him about some things. He’ll ask questions. When you talk to him after a game and say ‘You gotta do this,’ he’s the first to be like ‘Man I know, I was bad with this, I gotta get better with that.’

things around you’re gonna need kids like that. Things are going bad and people are questioning and doing things or maybe just trying to do too much or not do enough. He’s that guy who you can go back and say ‘Watch this play, see what he does here.’ And he will.”

‘I’d rather have an assist than a goal. I’d rather help my forwards and let them shine.’

–Andres ‘Elmer’ Menendez

“If there are kids arguing, he seems to be the guy who settles everyone in. He’s not a real talkative kid but he’s got that presence about him. If you’re gonna turn

Nottingham was 1-5 when Fitzpatrick talked about turning things around, but it was deceiving as all five losses were by 2-1 scores and three were in overtime. The Stars won their next game and were hoping that could ignite them.

“It’s pretty frustrating,” Menendez said. “We’re not living up to expectations. We need to be more clinical up top. It’s small mistakes we’ve been making that have been affecting us. We’re looking for a winning streak.”

Any success Nottingham has will feature Menendez as a centerpiece despite

his lack of statistics. Early in the season he was playing mostly as a defensive midfielder, but was still figuring in the offense in ways that didn’t show up on the scoresheet.

“He can be a distributor who generates goals for us with the hockey assists,” Fitzpatrick said, noting how two assists are often awarded on ice hockey goals. “He could lead the county in that, but there is no such thing as the hockey assist in soccer so that goes unnoticed.

“But he’s the guy who makes that pass to someone on the outside, they cross the ball and another guy scores. One guy gets the assist, one guy gets the goal and no one notices that he got the hockey assist. That’s literally what he’s good at doing. Some kids will go ‘Make sure I get the assist for that.’ That ain’t him.”

Menendez did score two goals last year to go along with an assist, but he’s not out for back-of-the-net glory.

“I’d rather have an assist than a goal,” he said. “I’d rather help my forwards and let them shine.”

Upon arriving at Nottingham, Menendez was placed on the JV team but moved up to varsity midway through his freshman season. When Nick Durante took

solid out there, he takes care of his area,” Fitzpatrick said. “This year as a head coach I’m like ‘Man, how did I miss this guy last year?’

“He’s got a real nice touch; he’s got nice vision. He’s got good speed, soft feet, he’s a good distributor. He wins balls in 50-50 situations. He stands up his man defensively and doesn’t chase after the ball. He’s a competitor, he plays hard the whole game. He doesn’t ask to come out and doesn’t make excuses when things go wrong.”

About the only fault – if it can even be called that – is that Menendez has been a little too cautious. That mindset is being worked on this season.

“The one thing we try to get him to do is be a little more aggressive and take some more chances,” Fitzpatrick said. “That’s something he’s starting to embrace. ‘You don’t have to pass it; you can shoot it. You don’t have to play that back, take someone on here.’”

Menendez loves his role as captain, saying “It’s amazing to lead the younger guys on our team.” He also loves instructing the flow of play from the midfield.

over as head coach in 2023 Menendez started at center back as a sophomore and went to midfield last year “because we lost a lot of midfield guys.”

Durante says of the player “He’s a leader on the field. He leads by example.”

It was not a difficult adjustment switching positions since Menendez had played some midfield in academy soccer. But he has continued to ply his trade.

“It’s something I try to work on in practice a lot and I think every day I’m improving,” he said. “Apart from being a defensive mid, he’s trying to get me to create chances and that’s what I’m doing.”

“Everything we try and do to generate offense through defense he’s bought into,” Fitzpatrick said. “It’s a new system, some new concepts and things they never heard about or talked about.”

Which is kind of the norm for Nottingham’s seniors, who are playing for their third head coach in four years. But despite what Fitzpatrick said, Menendez does not feel it’s a difficult transition, since he was the freshman coach last year.

“We always had Fitz alongside us at our games and at practices,” Menendez said. “They all have a very similar philosophy. It’s not too hard to adapt to their systems.”

Ironically, as much as Fitzpatrick raves about his midfielder this year, he flew under the coach’s radar last season.

“I really didn’t take notice of him because he’s one of those kids who’s just

“Playing this position you need to be sharp and know what’s going on on the pitch,” he said. “I feel I’m pretty good at instructing guys out there.”

“I’m always out there playing when I’m not with Nottingham,” he continued. “I’m either at the gym or outside getting my touches in or playing with other people.”

Menendez does, however, have another interest. With a 3.0 GPA, he’s looking into a career as a dental hygienist.

“I get compliments all the time about my teeth,” he said proudly. “I have a really good dentist, Dr. Mark Greco. His kid used to play in my MLSA academy when I was younger. He’s a really good dentist and we talk about soccer and stuff like that. He convinced me to get into that type of industry.

“I know some of my friends are scared of needles and sharp things so it will be hard to get them over there with me,” he added with a laugh. “But I’m only supposed to clean and that kind of stuff. The scary stuff is for the dentist.”

It’s only fitting that Menendez pursues a profession that provides glue for the teeth, considering he is the glue to the Northstars.

Next to it was another box with small, caramel-colored pumpkins called “Hot Chocolate Pumpkins.” Soon thereafter, I came across a box of fall gourds, surprisingly dubbed “Ugly Gourds.” And I had to know more.

One of the advantages of ugly gourds is that they’re kind of scary, even without carving or drawing a face on them. It’s a different, fear-of-the-plague sort of scary, but spine-chilling nonetheless. No one wants to touch them, but everyone is fascinated to look at them. And what’s more charming than a little kid in costume asking, “Mommy, what’s wrong with that pumpkin?”

It turns out “Decorative Pumpkins” are labeled as such mostly to distinguish them from other pumpkins that are grown for eating. “Hot Chocolate Pumpkins” are named for their color, not for any warm winter beverages hidden inside.

This may be proof that we have become drunk with the power of science, or perhaps just drunk. In our defense, these names could also be the result of God’s failure in the bible, when granting Adam the authority to name the plants and animals around him, to include the two-word caveat “within reason.”

kind of thing that can draw stares, offend people, or even land you in jail. (What you do in your own home is your own business, however.) Instead, focus on visual variety and novelty.

Lindsey Grasso, of Timothy’s Center for Gardening in Robbinsville, confirmed that she’s seen growth in the popularity of ugly gourds in the past five or ten years, with Warted Gourds a best-seller, from $1.49 for the smallest, up to $8.99 for extra large ones. Social media has played a large role in that growth, she said, inspiring buyers with images of creative displays.

Grasso also said that “ugly gourds have great personalities,” which, no offense, is exactly what you’d expect to hear from someone selling ugly gourds.

Ugly gourds inspire (in me, anyway) all kinds of promotional ideas: an “Ugly Pageant,” with the winner named the ugliest gourd of 2025, or an “Ugly Gourd Makeover,” which would transform a gourd that’s lacking confidence into an empowered knockout, ready to be carried off and displayed with the non-ugly gourds.

The truest sign of ugly gourds’ acceptance is their infiltration of a Halloween institution: the jack o’ lantern. The variety of shapes, colors, and textures among ugly gourds allows for a correspondingly wide variety of jack o’ lanterns. What better way to celebrate

the newfound societal respect for ugly gourds than by eviscerating them, disposing of the innards, and displaying their corpses in public?

I plan to create an ugly gourd jack o’ lantern this year, and I’m curious to see how it compares to a traditional jack o’ lantern. Will its failure to conform to societal standards of gourd beauty actually prove an advantage by offending the aesthetic standards of squirrels, thus repelling the creatures who would normally devour my pumpkin a few bites at a time, over the course of a week or two? Time will tell.

Enjoy the season’s decorations, but remember the non-edible status of this column’s subject: in other words, gourmets, gorge on these gory, nongorgeous gourds by letting your eyes feast, not your taste buds.

10 questions with poet Patricia Fleming

Thomas Kelly FIGHT IN THE MUSEUM

Hamilton resident Patricia Fleming was always a writer; a poet. After retiring in 2016, she began writing every day. She published a book in 2023 titled, “Being Human In This Crazy World.”

Her poems are approachable and tell of her story, and fearlessness of working on her art full time after retirement.

At what point did you get serious about writing poetry?

I started writing poetry when I was very young. I would tell stories in the form of poetry, but I never shared them with anyone. As I grew older, I started keeping journals, and occasionally shared them with friends. It was my way of observing the world and expressing myself. I had no plans to share my work on a broader scale.

When I retired in 2016, I started writing poetry almost every day and publishing them on a website, familyfriendspoems. com. That’s when I became more serious about my writing and had lots of time to

do it.

What are you communicating with your writing?

I became extremely introspective after retirement and started writing about my views on life, people, my past, the world, pretty much everything. I write about difficult times to help me work through my feelings. Last February, my husband and I were victims of a home invasion. I wrote a series of poems to process the stages I was going through at that time.

Someone commented once, on one of my poems, that I tend to write about being human. That is actually a perfect description of my writing and in fact, helped me figure out a name for my book, “Being Human in This Crazy World.”

Have you had formal training in writing and poetry?

I’ve always loved the written word and admired beautiful writing, but I never had any formal training. In college, I minored in literature because I loved to read. However, the truth is, I never particularly liked poetry, especially the older poets. I always found them too hard to understand. I used to think that was what poetry was supposed to be until I discov-

What fight/struggle do you have regarding your art?

No struggles at all, other than writer’s block at times. I have written while I’m floating in the ocean, sitting on a beach, laying in the dark at night, sitting on my front porch, riding in the car, sitting in the bathtub, shopping. Everywhere that the spirit moves me.

Do you participate in poetry readings in public?

ered some of the modern poets like Maya Angelou whose work was much more relatable to me.

Who are some of your influences?

I love Maya Angelou, Shel Silverstein, Robert Frost, and even more, I have my favorites on familyfriendspoems. We’re all just amateur writers, but some of the work is incredible and I love that we are a community of amateur poets supporting each other. They also provide a vast variety of poems by famous authors as well.

How often are you working on your writing?

I go through periods when I’m writing every day. I wake up in the middle of the night with a poem in my head, it’s like I can’t stop, everything brings an idea for a poem. Then I have periods when I have absolutely no inspiration at all. That used to bother me, but now I just go with it.

What do you find the most difficult to write about?

I don’t write too many joyful poems. That’s hard for me. I’m more of a pessimist than an optimist. But I do write poems about some childhood memories that were happy ones. I write from a personal point of view, but generally on life experiences that we all share.

I don’t have that kind of confidence. I love for people to read my work but the only person I ever read them to is my husband. I had accumulated so many poems and several friends had suggested that I send them to a publisher and I finally decided I had nothing to lose because I didn’t think anyone would publish them.

When Austin Macauley did, I was thrilled to say the least. A first-time published author at the age of 70 years old.

What is most rewarding about writing poetry?

On the website, I’ve gotten comments from people all over the world, the U.K., Germany, India, Australia and California. I’ve received requests to use my poetry for a high school reunion, church celebrations, school projects, even a dance concert. The Giant Food Corporation used one of my poems in a commercial for a year and still use it internally for conferences. When someone sends me a comment saying I changed their life in some way, it makes me tearful. One woman told me I stopped her from committing suicide.

When I was contemplating retirement, I was in a panic because I felt like I would not have an identity anymore. I was a psychiatric social worker for over half my life. I felt like if I wasn’t helping people, I

What is a podiatrist’s role in wound care?

Ask The Doctor

A podiatrist plays a major role in wound care, especially for people with diabetes or circulation issues. Foot wounds are more common than many realize, and they can quickly become serious.

A small blister, cut, or sore can turn into an ulcer or infection before you even notice, especially if you have nerve damage and can’t feel your feet well. That’s where a podiatrist comes in.

figure out what caused it and help prevent it from coming back,” he says.

If you have diabetes, poor circulation, or neuropathy, it’s important to check your feet regularly—and see a podiatrist even if everything seems fine.

See our ads in SIX09 section pgs 5 and 7

Podiatrists are trained to spot early warning signs that others might miss, such as pressure points, calluses, and dry or thinning skin. They can also help with nail care, shoe advice, and custom insoles to reduce friction and pressure.

up a spill while the faucet is still running,” says Dr. Jolliffe. “We’re here to stop the problem at the source.”

What makes podiatrists especially valuable is that they understand how your feet move and bear weight.

That means they can suggest ways to keep pressure off a wound while it heals, whether that’s a custom shoe insert, a walking boot, or even minor surgery if needed.

“Podiatrists are often the first line of defense when it comes to preventing amputations,” Jason Jolliffe, DPM, RWJBarnabas Health Medical Group provider and a board-certified podiatrist who specializes in wound care at the Center for Wound Healing at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton (RWJUH Hamilton).

“We don’t just treat the wound; we

If a wound does appear, time is critical. Podiatrists often lead the wound care process, using special treatments like debridement (removing dead tissue), wound dressings, and even skin grafts or other advanced therapies.

They also work closely with other specialists to make sure every aspect of your health is being addressed.

“Healing a wound without fixing the pressure that caused it is like mopping

Perhaps most importantly, podiatrists focus on prevention. They take the time to teach patients how to care for their feet at home—like how to check for redness, changes in skin color, or signs of infection.

For many, that extra attention can make all the difference.

Foot wounds may not seem like a big deal at first, but they can lead to major health problems if ignored. With a podiatrist on your care team, you have a partner who understands how to keep your feet, and your body, healthy and strong.

Dr. Jolliffe sees patients at the RWJUH Hamilton’s Center for Wound Healing located inside the hospital at 1 Hamilton Health Place, Outpatient Building #5, Ground Floor, in Hamilton, NJ 08690.

For more information, please call (609) 689-7031. To make an appointment or learn more about The Center for Wound Healing at RWJUH Hamilton, call 609-249-8300.
