Bordentown Township, City police departments team up for No Shave November By Steven Bassin Staff Writer
For the third year in a row, the Bordentown Township Police Department and the Bordentown City Police Department are teaming up to run the No Shave November fundraiser to raise money for a local resident battling cancer. “It’s been such a great event,” Bordentown Township Chief of Police Brian Pesce said. “Our residents have shown a lot of generosity for the fundraiser. Our local businesses have been very empathetic towards each resident and helped us raise money for the cause. We have had a lot of success raising money to help our local resident in need.” Both police departments partnered together for the event after Pesce was pitched the idea by his officers when he took over as chief in 2017. Always looking to help local residents in need, Pesce said he and Bordentown City Police Chief Frederic Miller ran with the idea and have used the fundraiser to support children in the community who are battling a form of cancer. Bordentown City resident Brianna Lemmo is this year’s recipient of the fundraiser, at the suggestion of Bordentown City Detective Justin Lewandowski. The 16-year-old is battling Hodgikn’s lymphoma. Lewandowski has donated Barnes and Noble gift cards to Brianna because she is an avid reader, Pesce said.
“This was the perfect opportunity to help her,” Pesce said. “We’re always looking to touch someone locally and help that person. We want to raise as much money we can for Brianna.” This year’s No Shave November slogan for the fundraiser is “Beards for Brianna”. All police officers participating in the fundraiser have made donations toward the cause and will grow a beard, mustache or goatee. Female police officers are painting their fingernails any color they desire to donate and be a part of the cause. As they have had in previous years, both police departments are partnering with a handful of restaurants in the Bordentown community to raise money for the cause. Jimmy’s American Grill, Old Town Pub, Chickie’s & Pete’s and Mario and Franks II will be donating 10% of the proceeds they make on Nov. 24 to help Brianna battle cancer. The event usually includes a shave-off where local barbers shave each police officer’s beard, but that will not happen this year due to COVID-19 safety guidelines, Pesce said. Instead, a video will be posted on the Bordentown Township Police Department’s social media accounts of officers getting their beards shaved. With the event having success the past two years, Pesce hopes the fundraiser can continue to be successful this year and bring some

Rowan College at Burlington County announces Strategic Plan 2025 Rowan College at Burlington County (RCBC) announced its new Strategic Plan 2025 following a community-wide effort to establish the college’s priorities and goals for the next five years. The plan, which takes effect on Jan. 1, 2021, had its origins two years ago when RCBC President Dr. Michael A. Cioce unveiled a Vision for Success in his first college-wide address, according to a prepared statement. Since then, the college held numerous planning sessions to transform the broad vision into an action plan that reflects the entire scope of the college and included input from students, faculty, staff and the public. “Our goal was to create a plan that includes every aspect of the college so all stakeholders can actively use it to fulfill our mission of transforming lives through affordable high-quality education,”
Rowan College at Burlington County
Cioce said in the statement. “This plan will do more than sit on a shelf collecting dust. We will use it every day to help us guide RCBC
forward and improve the way we provide services to students and our community.” The plan is available at rcbc.
edu/strategic-plan. It will help guide institutional priorities, budgeting decisions and individual offices’ annual goals.
“RCBC is a source of pride for the county that empowers countless individuals to improve their lives through education,” Burlington County Freeholder Director Felicia Hopson said in the statement. “I believe that our county is home to the best community college in the state and that this plan sets a course for an excellent institution to continually improve upon its success.” The plan is based upon four core pillars: Culture, Access and Affordability, Student Success and Quality, and Effectiveness. “These pillars reflect the qualities that the Rowan College at Burlington County community champions,” RCBC Board Chair George Nyikita said in the statement. “The RCBC Board of Trustees is confident that this plan will lead to a brighter future for the college and our students.”
More than 267,000 ballots counted in Burlington County Burlington County elections officials announced the final count and certification of the 2020 General Election results on Nov. 20, saying a record 267,122 county voters cast ballots this year, amounting to 77% of the county’s registered voters. The total turnout surpassed the previous high of 224,740 from the 2008 General Election. “Voting is fundamental to our democratic process and government so it was gratifying to see that so many of our residents participate this year, despite the challenges posed by the pandemic and the changes the health crisis required,” Freeholder Director Felicia Hopson said in a prepared statement. “I know it was a monumental task to undertake, but the leadership and staff in our Clerk, Election Board and Superintendent of Elections offices rose to the occasion and delivered a secure and safe election. I want to thank them
and all the other workers and who lent a hand in this historic election. Through their hard work Burlington County voters could execute their political choice. Our entire county owes them a tremendous debt of gratitude.” By order of Gov. Phil Murphy, the election was conducted primarily with vote-by-mail ballots rather than in-person voting with machines to protect voters and poll workers from the virus. More than 20,000 of new registrations were processed by the Superintendent of Elections Office between the Primary and General Election and a record 325,000-plus vote-by-mail ballots were issued by the Clerk’s Office, according to the statement. A total of 251,738 participated via vote-by-mail ballots and another 15,347 voted at the polls on Nov. 3 with paper provisional ballots. Another 37 people voted with machine assistance at the polls be-

The count was officially concluded on Nov. 20 with the Election Board’s certification vote, according to the statement. “It was an election unlike any other in our history due to the pandemic and the changes required to protect voters’ health, but I’m incredibly proud of the work performed by our staff and those with
the Election Board and the Superintendent of Elections offices,” Burlington County Clerk Joanne Schwartz said in the statement. “We promised a safe and secure election and by working together we were able to deliver one.” “No election is ever easy, but the changes were forced to make and the challenges we had to overcome this year were truly historic,” Burlington County Election Board Chairman Joseph Dugan said in
the statement. “It was a tremendous undertaking, but our county’s voters should know that their votes were properly processed and counted. I’m grateful for everyone’s work and applaud the voters for their patience and perseverance.” The final certified election results are available online at www. co.burlington.nj.us/DocumentCenter/View/3942/General-Election

Long-Term High Cholesterol Can Affect Your Long-Term Health
C
holesterol – the waxy substance found in your blood and produced naturally by your liver– is essential to building healthy cells. But high levels of the substance can lead to fatty deposits and blockages that make it difficult for blood to flow through your arteries. Over time, this reduced blood flow can cause damage throughout your body, and the longer it goes undetected and untreated, the more damage will be done. Yet once diagnosed, high cholesterol can usually be managed through lifestyle changes, medication, or a combination of both. A Silent Disease High cholesterol is considered a silent disease because it does not cause any outward symptoms. However as fatty deposits—also knowns as plaques— build up, it causes your arteries to narrow and harden, preventing blood from flowing freely and lessening the amount of oxygen and other nutrients delivered throughout your body. High cholesterol increases your risk for peripheral artery disease and can cause memory problems, nervous system disruptions, and even digestive problems. At the same time, pieces of plaque can break off suddenly and travel throughout the bloodstream, potentially causing a blockage or clot. The longer high cholesterol goes untreated, the greater the risk for heart disease and stroke, two of the leading causes of death in the United States. Family History Significant Risk Factor While high cholesterol is most commonly seen in adults 50 and older, an increasing number of people are developing the condition at a younger age. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Pre-
THE STATE WE’RE IN
vention (CDC), nearly 29 million American adults age 20 and older have high cholesterol, and an estimated 7 percent of children suffer from the condition. In addition to age, family history is a significant risk factor for high cholesterol. If you have an immediate family member who has high cholesterol, you’re more likely to have it too. Other risk factors include poor diet, obesity, lack of exercise, smoking, diabetes and high blood pressure. If you are concerned about your risk for high cholesterol, talk to your doctor about screening. The 70-70-70 Rule A simple blood test can determine if your cholesterol levels are high, and testing should be performed on a regular basis at the recommendation of your primary care physician. In general, the CDC recommends that most healthy people should have their cholesterol checked every 4-6 years and that children and adolescents should have their cholesterol checked at least once between ages 9-11 and again between ages 17-21. The basic rule for healthy cholesterol is 70-70-70. You want your LDL, which is sometimes called bad cholesterol, under 70; your HDL or good cholesterol at 70 or higher, and your triglycerides (a type of fat) under 70. If you are diagnosed with high cholesterol, there is a range of medications to help keep it within a healthy range and, as a result, help you maintain good cardiovascular health. Following a heart healthy lifestyle can also help keep cholesterol in check. Tips to Stay Heart Healthy The American Heart Association recommends the following tips to help manage cholesterol and stay heart healthy:
• Eat a heart healthy diet. From a dietary standpoint, the best way to lower your cholesterol is to reduce your intake of saturated fat and trans fat. Limit saturated fat to less than 6 percent of daily calories. Minimize trans fat consumption by reducing your intake of red meat and whole milk dairy as well as limiting fried food and cooking with healthy oils. Additionally, a heart healthy diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, poultry, fish, nuts, and non-tropical vegetable oils. • Become more physically active. At least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise a week is enough to lower both cholesterol and high blood pressure. Brisk walking, swimming, bicycling, and dancing are all considered moderate-intensity exercise. • Quit smoking. Smoking and vaping lowers HDL, the good cholesterol. What’s more, in people who already have high cholesterol, smoking increases the risk of coronary heart disease even more than it otherwise would. • Lose weight. Being overweight or obese raises bad cholesterol and lowers good cholesterol. Losing as little as 5 to 10 percent of excess weight can help improve cholesterol levels. Learn More Visit the Princeton Health onDemand UStream channel at www.ustream.tv/princetonhealth where you can watch a pre-recorded video to learn more about the risks of longterm high cholesterol.

What’s valuable about New Jersey’s forests?
I
n the not-so-distant past, the value of forests was based on the timber generated from logging. Forests without commercial timber potential were thought to be nearly worthless. Today, much more is known about forest values. Forests are considered priceless for providing wildlife habitat and many “ecosystem services,” including filtering impurities from the air and water, absorbing and storing carbon from the atmosphere, and soaking up flood waters. Forests are also valuable for recreation and their cooling effect in summer. A new “State Forest Action Plan” by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection examines the value of the Garden State’s forests and the many threats they face – most prominently the impacts of a warming climate. The plan proposes a number of actions to protect New Jersey’s forests, which collectively cover about two million acres of this state we’re in.

The DEP is accepting public comments on the draft plan through Dec. 2. “In the past, forest managers looked at forests through a narrow lens … Timber value is no longer an important forest attribute for many New Jersey residents,” explains State Forester John Sacco in the plan’s introduction. “This land works hard for our nine million residents, providing clean water, much-needed recreation, wildlife and rare plant habitat and jobs,” Sacco added. “Our urban forests keep cities cooler in summer, filter air and water pollution and make our neighborhoods attractive places to live. Our forests fix enough atmospheric CO2 (carbon dioxide) each year to offset the annual CO2 emissions of Newark, our largest city. They are the front line in our fight against climate change.” The State Forest Action Plan is a 10-year strategic plan required under the federal Farm Bill for New Jersey to be eligible for federal forest stewardship funding. Much hard work has gone into the action plan, which contains substantial information not found in previous plans. The federal forestry program has three priorities: protecting forests from threats; enhancing public benefits from trees and forests; and conserving and managing working forest landscapes for multiple values and uses. The first two are the most relevant to small and densely populated New Jersey. As Sacco notes, New Jersey’s forests are at risk from climate change, invasive species, diseases, insect outbreaks and wildfires. “Increased global trade is accelerating the homogenization of Earth’s ecosystems,” he said. “New organisms are continually introduced into places where they did not evolve. Due to introduced diseases and insects, we have lost or are losing many important native tree, shrub and herbaceous plant species. In many areas, our Great Eastern Deciduous Forest now has a Eurasian understory.” Wildfires are also a threat, as a massive fire or series of fires could cause “a catastrophic release of CO2 to the atmosphere, a phenomenon we have seen out west, where forest lands were once carbon sinks, but now atmospheric carbon sources.” The forest plan suggests several actions, including: • Conserving our forests’ biological diversity; • Maintaining the health and vitality of forest ecosystems; • Conserving and maintaining soil and water resources of our forests; • Maintaining forest contributions to global carbon cycles. The forest plan notes that the Earth’s warming climate is changing New Jersey’s forests. Trees are flowering earlier and sea level rise threatens many species, including Atlantic white cedar, that can’t survive saltwater intrusion. Tree species historically found in the southern part of the state will eventually become more abundant in the north, and some trees now found in northern New Jersey may disappear from the state. The forest plan discusses diseases and pests in great detail and, for the first time, points out the severe damage caused by our over-abundant deer population. The forest plan recommends planting trees in areas previously not forested, restoring damaged forests, restoring the declining Atlantic White Cedar ecosystems, and protecting rare plants. The plan introduces a new concept of “proforestation,” the practice of leaving forests undisturbed as they march toward old age, to maximize their ecological potential and carbon sequestration.
New science is helping us understand how carbon is captured and stored over time throughout the forest above or below ground, in wood and roots, and in soil and leaves. Many new studies, synthesized in the publication Wild Carbon, point to conserving undisturbed forests as the best strategy for sequestering carbon as part of the battle to slow climate change. The draft State Forest Action Plan mentions the Sourlands region of central New Jersey as one place where proforestation should be considered, but emerging science suggests this strategy should play a much larger role in many of New Jersey’s older, maturing forests. Protecting sequestered carbon by fostering the eventual re-establishment of old growth forest areas on our public lands can even create a New Jersey “carbon market.” As part of our response to global warming, forest trees may be far more valuable being left to grow old than anyone ever dreamed. For all those who love New Jersey’s forests and want to learn of their current status and what the future might hold, be sure to check out the State Forest Action Plan at https:// njparksandforests.org/forest/njsfap/docs/njsfap20201015. pdf To provide your observations to the State Forester on the plan before the state’s Dec. 2 deadline, go to https:// njparksandforests.org/forest/njsfap/comment.html To find out more about the benefits of proforestation, go to the Wild Carbon website at https://www.sweetwatertrust.org/images/WildWorks_V1_WildCarbon.pdf

Initiatives and ideas to address climate change
As climate change becomes more pronounced – the warmest years on record have all been over the last several – societies and communities are discussing and trying different approaches. In Portland, Oregon, voters approved a 2018 ballot measure, The Clean Energy Fund. Denver, Colorado, voters recently approved a similar program. President-elect Joe Biden’s proposed, sweeping climate plan targets many of the causes of climate change, but notably, 40% of its clean energy investment will be directed to disadvantaged communities. The Portland program looks to invest in energy efficiency and renewable energy. It has funded small planning grants to help communities apply for larger grants. It will assist low-income Portland residents to finance green initiatives and job creation. The city is expecting in this coming year to provide $40-60 million for clean energy job training, weatherizing houses, and installing roof-top solar panels. In order to pay for these plans, the city has levied a 1% tax on larger businesses. Some of those businesses have objected that the tax is unfair and will not produce any of the promised improvements. The president of the Portland Business Alliance responded that while the alliance supports the goals of the Clean Energy Fund, it questions

Europe. According to Wikipedia, Volkswagen introduced “the name Tiguan is a portmanteau of the German words Tiger (tiger) the Tiguan in 2007. I recently jumped beand Leguan (iguana). The name was the re- hind the wheel of the 2020 Tiguan 2.0T sult of a naming contest conducted by the SEL Premium R-Line with 4 motion for German car magazine publisher Auto Bild. one week to check out what VW brings to
the table in this crowded and popular segment. At first glance, I was impressed with the look and stance of this Tiguan model – a top of the line trim. The pure white Exterior combined with the Saffrano and black leather interior makes for a very attractive package. However, I must admit that I was a tad disappointed when I jumped behind the wheel of this Tiguan and punched the accelerator to take it for its first spin. While there are a lot of positives to write about here – it’s got plenty of head, leg and cargo space room – tremendous speed and agility are not one of its strong suits – at least not in my book. The turbo-charged four-cylinder engine makes 184 horsepower. This engine is coupled with an eight-speed automatic
transmission. The all wheel drive SEL Premium model runs from 0 to 60 miles per hour in an unimpressive 9.1 seconds. There is a “sport” mode selection on the center console which affords this Tiguan a bit more zip, but not enough to make a tremendous difference. The overall ride quality of the Tiguan is a bit stiff, which makes going over bumps a bit of an adventure at times. But there is enough of a quality feel to the ride to make this a quality choice for some in the SUV crossover segment. My wife commented that she thought that the seats were a bit stiff and not comfortable. I would have to agree with her on that point. Volkswagen offers up the Tiguan in six different trim levels, starting with the base S model ($25,965) and ending with top of the line SEL Premium R-Line – which I drove – with a base price of $38,795. The bottom line sticker price on my tester came in at $39,815 after adding in $1,020 for destination and delivery. The EPA fuel consumption ratings for the Tiguan come in at 23 miles per gallon overall – 27 miles per gallon in highway driving and 20 miles per gallon in city driving. The EPA estimates that the annual fuel cost of running this Tiguan will come in at about $1,750 as it uses about 4.3 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. The government’s 5-star safety ratings crash test were not completed all the way. The Tiguan did receive a 5-star rating for the front seat and rear seat side crash tests. It got a 4-star rating on the overall rollover test. The editors at Car and Driver gave the Tiguan high marks for “refined driving experience, available third row and excellent fuel economy.” Car and Driver gave the Tiguan low marks for not being as quick as its rivals, and it has a firm ride with the larger optional wheels. The SEL Premium model comes loaded with a ton of standard equipment including 20-inch alloy wheels; panoramic roof; heated seats and a heated leather wrapped steering wheel; remote start; 8-inch touch screen navigation and a whole lot more.

Sugar Plum and Cavalier Professional ARB dancers with students from the Princeton Ballet School.
The Nutcracker, the thrilling ballet set to Tchaikovsky’s magnificent score, has been a joyful element of my Christmas season for nearly every Christmas since 1964, when the American Repertory Ballet (ARB), for-
merly Princeton Ballet, made the ballet an annual holiday tradition. I have seen the production an estimated 150 times at McCarter Theatre in Princeton, State Theater in New Brunswick, and the War Memorial in Tren-

I’VE TRIED EVERYTHING PHYSICAL THERAPY DID NOT HELP INJECTIONS DID NOT HELP SURGERY DID NOT HELP I’M TAKING MORE MEDICATION Steven Hoffman, L,Ac., Dipl. OM hears these things every day in his practice. That is because severe and chronic cases are so difficult to treat. Acupuncture is often a medicine of last resort but also often gets the best results. Chronic conditions are those that have lasted over three months and these conditions affect millions of Americans.
Chronic conditions are not a good indicator of dysfunction. This means that whatever caused the problem in the first place is no longer even present! If you are treating something that is not causing the problem, the treatment simply is not going to be effective.

ton – not only because it gives me goosebumps, but also (full disclosure number one) because my daughter and my granddaughter have danced in dozens of productions. This year, COVID-19 positioned itself to be the Grinch that would steal the 2020 holiday sweet treat from not only my family, but also countless other families throughout New Jersey. But ARB and the students of its affiliated Princeton Ballet School (PBS) teamed up with Main Street Highland Park (MSHP) in a perfect pas de deux to thwart the Grinch. On Saturday afternoon, Nov. 21, ARB, PBS and MSHP produced Princeton Ballet School’s Nutcracker Suite – outside, with masks, with technical dance excellence, and with unbridled joy, in front of audience members, sitting socially distant, with masks and without paying a penny for a truly inspiring show. The teamwork resulted in the ballet’s first live dance performance since February, while simultaneously raising the profile of the COVID-beleaguered downtown Highland Park retail community. Full disclosure number two – my daughter Rebecca Hersh heads MSHP and my granddaughter Lily Solomon was one of the students performing as one of the “candy canes from Russia.” So yes, the goosebumps I felt were not only the usual ones I experience every time I hear the score and watch the exquisite dancing, but also the ones unique to this particular production. The ballet company and school led by ARB Executive Director Julie Diana Hench, (Artistic Director Designate Ethan Stiefel who starts in July 2021), and PBS Director Aydmara Cabrera worked with the Main Street Highland Park team, led by MSHP Executive Director Rebecca Hersh, Assistant Director Javier Zavaleta, and Board Member Jenni Chapman, to fulfill the mandate of “the show must go on.” Their passion and determination fueled the event, respectful of but not cowed by the COVID threat. While the dance team prepared the dancers for the challenges of performing outdoors on a small, temporary stage, while staying safe from the usual dangers of dance related injuries and the unusual dangers of COVID, the Main Street group put in many hours of logistical planning geared to keep COVID out and enjoyment in, enforcing strict registration, supporting the local retailers by giving out to all audience members goodie bags with coupons to various retail establishments, and securing sponsors to finance the project. The sponsors crucial to the event were Middlesex County Board of
Chosen Freeholders, the New Jersey State Arts Council, and Miller’s Rentals. And just because I want credit for some aspect of this awesome project, I am proclaiming that I arranged for the weather – overcast, no wind, no rain, and moderate mid-50s to 60-degree temperatures. For one hour, the audience members and performers escaped from reality and worries about the depressed and depressing retail scene in downtowns throughout New Jersey, the struggling arts scene through out New Jersey, and the excruciating struggles of New Jerseyans confronting the horrors of this disease. On the day of the performance, New Jersey reported close to 5,000 new cases, surpassing 300,000 total cases since the pandemic began. The statewide cumulative total was 302,039 positive test results. New Jersey’s overall fatality count resulting from COVID-19 went up to 16,746. The dancing of the candy canes, snowflakes, sugar plums, dew drop, chocolates, marzipans, polichinelles, coffees, teas, Mother Ginger cherubs, and waltzing flowers, comprised the ingredients of a delicious cake whose icing was a performance by two ARB professionals in the role of the Sugar Plum and Cavalier. For the first time in months, the little tears in the corners of my eyes were dewdrops of joy rather than stinging tears of fear and frustration. My only advice as to how to sustain the spirit of this initiative is to pay it forward – shop local, attend all the virtual fundraisers for the arts and social services organizations, and say thank you a billion times to all frontline healthcare personnel and essential workers whose services sustain our day to day survival. Perhaps, we should buy these essential workers coupons for goods and services at local restaurants and retail shops, as well as tickets to next year’s arts productions – post COVID and post vaccination. Until then, maybe a few more communities through December could use this model of arts and business collaboration to create a movement away from the computer screens and into the streets for small, niche, COVID-safe, outdoor, performing arts productions covering the entire gamut of dance and musical entertainment. Right now, I crave not only all styles of dance, but also jazz, rock and roll, and even a good stand-up comic. New Jersey’s winter weather generally doesn’t get too apocalyptic until February and March. How sweet that would be if the hard work, creativity and determination were catching instead of the virus!
Solutions Continued from Page 4A “who is paying for this and how they pay for it.” The alliance president pointed out that the definition of “large retailers” was so broad that retirement funds and garbage haulers were included. The city subsequently excluded those businesses. But other groups, such as The Coalition of Communities of Color, saw the program as an economic recovery tool. Still others saw it as a rebalancing of programs that had previously benefited only affluent portions of the community. The city expects to offer its first $8.6 million climate justice grants next year. It is to be hoped that this initiative, and others like it around the country will help reduce emissions and the global warming they produce. The complexity of tackling climate change is evidenced in a number of ways beyond these local efforts. While carbon dioxide emissions have dropped nationally since switching from coal to natural gas has been widely adopted, a recent 2020 study found that methane leaks from the U.S. gas systems has countered many of those benefits. Although natural gas produces fewer emissions than coal, its heat-trapping properties of methane, when released into the
atmosphere, are stronger than coal. The solution lies in reducing leaks, but with their sources in drilling, piping and refining, it is neither a simple nor cheap fix. And yet allowing climate change to continue will lead to much greater costs, in a number of ways. We, as a nation, largely recognize this and know what to do. The question is: will we come together sufficiently to do it? This question was addressed as long ago as 1932, by theologian, Reinhold Niebuhr, at New York’s Union Theological Seminary. In his book, Moral Man and Immoral Society, he wrote: “However much human ingenuity may increase the treasures which nature provides … they can never be sufficient to satisfy all human wants; for man, unlike other creatures, is gifted and cursed with an imagination which extends his appetites beyond the requirements of subsistence. Human society will never escape the problem of the equitable distribution of the physical and cultural goods which provide for the preservation and fulfillment of human life.” Thus, in environmental terms, the benefits from fossil fuel usage must be weighed against their environmental costs, which must be paid for by both beneficiaries, the producers and, equitably, the communities.
