Community health assessment unveiledBY HEATHER FIOREThe Lawrence Sun

On Wednesday, July 18, theGreater Mercer Public HealthPartnership (GMPHP) unveiledits Mercer County CommunityHealth Assessment (CHA) at Edu-cational Testing Service’s (ETS)Conant Hall on Rosedale Road inPrinceton.

The GMPHP – a collaborativeof four community hospitals,eight local health departments,and the United Way of GreaterMercer County (UWGMC) – lead acomprehensive communityhealth planning effort to substan-tially improve the health of Mer-cer County, which involved 28focus groups, 15 personal inter-views with community stakehold-ers and six discussion groups ex-amining external factors.

“CHAs use both qualitativeand quantitative data analyses of a community’s social, economicand epidemiological data to cre-ate a comprehensive portrait of

community perceptions, healthattitudes and behaviors, and per-ceived needs and assets,” ProjectManager of the GMPHP AntoniaLewis said.

This community health effortis funded through the RobertWood Johnson Foundation’s NewJersey Health Initiatives and en-tails two major phases – a CHA toidentify the health-related con-cerns, needs and strengths of

Mercer County, and a communityhealth improvement plan (CHIP)to address these concerns andneeds.

“The GMPHP would not be pos-sible if not for the vision of theRobert Wood Johnson Founda-tion and their New Jersey initia-

tive,” President and COO of theUWGMC Herb Klein said.“Robert Wood Johnson is the na-tion’s largest philanthropy devot-ed entirely to public health for theUnited States.”

Klein further explained whatthe CHA’s goal was.

“We’re at a crossroads inAmerica as we address the funda-mental questions of what, when,where, who and how health careshould be delivered in our com-munity,” he said. “As you’ll heartoday, neighborhoods, transporta-tion, housing environment, edu-

cation and income levels all playan important role in determining

community health and measur-ing healthy communities.”

Director of Research and Eval-uation Lisa Wolff at Health Re-sources in Action and Director of Strategic Planning and Organiza-tional Effectiveness Health Re-sources in Action Rose Swensen,were key in the development of the CHA and reported all of thereasons, methods and findingsfrom their research group.

“This process was not justabout collecting information, butabout engaging the communityand organizations throughout theprocess so that the data collectionmethods were salient, and thisprocess was driven and owned bythe community,” Wolff said.

Wolff explained that the CHAengaged more than 400 people,and involved a wide range of indi-viduals who represented differentaudiences, including youth, par-ents, government officials,health-care providers, education-

al leaders, social serviceproviders, people with disabili-ties and people in drug recoveryprograms.

One of the biggest findings wasa larger, socio-economic issuethat Wolff and the research groupfound, which was that there is no“one” Mercer County.

“This area is diverse on a mul-

BY HEATHER FIOREThe Lawrence Sun

Summer is in full effect. Stu-dents are out of school, familiesare venturing off to various loca-tions for their usual summer va-cations, and many others have

jam-packed schedules involving avariety of summer activities.

So, what effect does this haveon the businesses in town, partic-ularly restaurants? Does businessslow down? Most people might

say “yes,” especially in Lawrence,since a lot of the town’s restau-rants’ revenue is produced by thestudents at Rider University.However, the answers were sur-prising when talking to the own-ers of three local restaurants onRoute 206 that are only one mileaway from the university.

Owner of one of Lawrence’smost popular sandwich spots,Bossio’s Deli & Catering, Al

Bossio, explained how his busi-ness is one of the many affectedby the absence of students atRider University.

“It’s definitely slower becauseobviously you don’t have that fluxof students that your normallyhave,” he said. “ There’s a big dif-ference in business when they’renot here. It drops between 25 and30 percent.”

Although Bossio sees a drop inhis customer base from Juneuntil the end of August, he still

has a loyal customer base full of locals and repeat customers, aswell as various summer campsthat are active around the area.

“We get business mostly fromcamps,” he said. “But, it’s spo-radic. There’s a lot more when thekids are there in September.”

Located right across the streetfrom Bossio’s Deli & Catering is

The Kelsey Awardsreturn on Aug. 11

The Kelsey Awards are back!K2K Entertainment and MercerCounty Community College’sKelsey Theatre will host the Sec-ond Annual Kelsey TheatreAwards on Saturday, Aug. 11, at 7p.m. This entertaining andunique awards show will be heldin the theater, on the college’sWest Windsor campus, 1200 OldTrenton Road.

After holding a successful pre-

miere awards show in 2011,K2KEntertainment has returnedto plan an evening quite unlikeany other. Awards will be present-ed to the best theatrical produc-tions and performers that tookthe stage during the 2011-2012Kelsey Theatre season, as select-ed via two rounds of voting fromthe community – for Best Musi-cal, Best Choreography, BestActor, and many more categories

that will ultimately create a nightfull of fun and excitement!

The awards show will be host-ed by actor and comedian KyrusKeenan Westcott, and co-hostedby the talented Kelsey Theatreveteran Dominick Sannelli. Bothactors were most recently seen onthe Kelsey stage in Playful The-atre Productions’ “A ChorusLine.”

The show will feature special

performances from the cast of “AIDA,” “Urinetown: The Musi-cal,” “The Drowsy Chaperone,”“A Chorus Line,” and “Camelot,”all of which have been nominatedfor Outstanding Production of aMusical.

titude of factors,” she said. “Raceethnicity, family make-up, educa-tional levels, income, so on and soforth. For example, Mercer Coun-ty overall ranked ninth amongNew Jersey’s 21 counties for itsmedian income, which is approxi-mately $70,000. However, there are

stark differences in those num-bers by community.”

Essentially, there are commu-nities in Mercer County that areon completely opposite sides of the socio-economic scale. For ex-ample, Wolff detailed how six of Mercer County’s municipalitieshave median incomes of $100,000,while others like Trenton, whosemedian income is around $37,000,

have nearly one-third to one-half of that.

The other, most prevalent is-sues that Wolff and Swensenfound involved vulnerable popu-lation groups, a steady increasein unemployment, transportationconcerns, high housing costs,health issues and health-care ac-cess and utilization.

From their findings, Wolff ex-plained how people found theyouth and seniors of Mercer

County to be the most vulnerablepopulation groups. Younger peo-ple have been experiencing morestress, which has led to substan-tial substance abuse – one of themajor concerns among adoles-cents. Seniors, who are limited intheir abilities, have the highestgrowing population, which wasreported to encompass 17 percentof Mercer County’s total popula-

tion by 2020.Although Mercer County was

found to have a lower unemploy-ment rate than New Jersey over-all, it has seen a significant in-crease from 2007 to 2009 – in2007, it was 3.9 percent, and in2009, it nearly doubled to 7.7 per-cent.

When it came to transporta-tion, they found that residents of Mercer County found it easier totravel back and forth to New York

City and Philadelphia, ratherthan within areas of MercerCounty because of the limitedand unreliable public transporta-tion. As a result, people in thearea have become car-dependent,which raises concerns because of the rising, expensive gas prices.

In regard to overall health is-

It’s hard to believe, but a new school

year is almost upon us. In a few

short weeks, schools open.

But what will be different about this

school year?

We’re going to find out. Right now,

our reporters are compiling lists of

questions for school leaders about thenew school year.

Are there new classes students and

parents need to know about?

How about scheduling changes?

Was any work done at the schools

over the summer?

If your school district switched its

annual election to November, we’ll ask

if there will be any noticeable impact

on the schools.

Generally, we’ll be asking school

leaders to tell us about things that

you – parents, taxpayers and students – need to know before the 2012-13 school

year begins.

Then, we will pass that information

along to you.

Do you have any questions you’d like

our reporters to ask? If so, the time to

act is now.

Maybe you are concerned about the

budget (who isn’t?). Or maybe you’ve

heard about a new program that you

think might be ideal for your child. Or

perhaps you are wondering about re-

pairs that were scheduled for your

child’s school.

We’d love to get those questions from

you. Just send an email to us so that we

can include them on our lists.

Most school districts have done a lot

in recent years to be more responsive

to questions submitted by the public. Itmakes sense. Everyone wants to have

great schools. Everyone wants to keep

taxes as low as possible, while still pro-

viding great service. One of the best

ways to achieve these goals is to build a

true public-private partnership be-

tween schools and the communities

they serve. And building that relation-

ship starts with effective communica-

tion.

So send us your questions. We’ll do

our best to get answers.

in our opinion

Ready for school?It’s August, so school doors open in only a few weeks

Any questions?

We are tracking down school leaders toask them questions about the upcom-ing school year. So what’s on yourmind? Send us your questions, andwe’ll do our best to get answers.

one of Rider University’s students’ go-topizza joints, Varsity Pizza, which said thattheir business isn’t greatly affected by theloss of students.

“Even though there is a significantlylower population on the Rider campus, thebusiness doesn’t really change that muchfor us,” owner Kevin Murphy said. “Rideris a very active campus during the summerwith a lot of different camps and activitiesthat go on there, so for a number of years,we’ve been doing businesses with those or-

ganizations as well. We do notice a drop off in the number of students that would nor-mally come into the store, but we find our-selves probably delivering to the campus alittle bit more at the end of the day whenthe camps are over.”

Aside from steadily supplying RiderUniversity’s campus and filling the stom-achs of its students, Murphy explained

how Varsity Pizza’s customers also comefrom all of Lawrence’s public schoolseverywhere in the local community, includ-ing St. Ann’s, Notre Dame High School andLawrence High School.

“That’s our market,” he said. “And, thepeople that live in the homes in the neigh-borhood around the store, as well as theprofessional centers on Franklin CornerRoad.”

Nestled in the heart of the Eldridge Parkneighborhood right across the street fromVarsity Pizza is Candela’s Restaurant &Pizzeria. One of the owners of this family-

run and owned business, Pietro Candela,explained how his business doesn’t see anychange in business because of the scarcityof Rider University’s students.

Rather, Candela explained how his busi-ness continues to thrive during the sum-

mer, since his father, Vito Candela, built aunique business for local residents to in-dulge in year-round.

“We’re about the same or a little bit bet-ter,” he said. “Rider doesn’t really affect usthat much.”

Since Candela’s Restaurant and Pizzeriadoesn’t really appeal to the on-the-go col-lege student, their customers are usuallyregulars.

“We do more business with the town,mostly local residents and people from sur-rounding towns, such as Ewing, Lawrence,West Windsor and Princeton.”

Unlike Varsity Pizza, which sells a vari-ety of different pizzas, dishes, and appetiz-ers, Candela’s Restaurant & Pizzeria pro-

vides a “one-of-a-kind” feel with its signa-ture Italian dishes, as well as the widerange of local fish it offers.

“Inside we do a lot of different dishes

Also included in the night’s fes-tivities will be the presentation of The Kelsey Theatre LifetimeAchievement Award to Robert A.Terrano, who received 125 nomi-nations. Terrano pushes the tech-

nical limit of theatrical produc-tions, dedicating his life to help-ing performers shine brightly onthe stage. As coordinator of MCCC’s Entertainment Technol-ogy program and a frequent col-laborator with multiple residentKelsey Theatre production com-panies, his knowledge of theatri-cal lighting and sound are un-matched in the Kelsey communi-ty.

that people come in for,” Candelasaid. “People come in more oftenbecause we make different thingsthan your regular pizzeria restau-rant. Ninety percent of the food isItalian, but with the dinner spe-cials I throw in some differentstuff like steak, tuna steak,

red snapper, salmon and sword-fish.”Since the summer is known as

the national vacation time of theyear, all three restaurants havealso noticed the usual vacationtime period when most of Lawrence’s residents temporarilydisappear.

“There’s a three- or four-weekperiod where you can tell a lot of people are on vacation,” Bossiosaid. “Usually from the beginningof July until the middle of Au-

gust, and then you see them start-ing to come back.”

Murphy also recognizes whenLawrence’s residents retreat, andnoted how it affects VarsityPizza’s business.

“The last week in July and thefirst week in August are big vaca-tion weeks in this area,” he said.

“You have the three holidays – Fourth of July, Labor Day andMemorial Day – where people aredoing more cooking out and goingto the shore. So, between Memori-al Day and Labor Day, we’ll usual-ly close, depending on the weath-er.”

Although Bossio’s Deli & Cater-ing, Varsity Pizza and Candela’sRestaurant and Pizzeria vary intheir summertime business, allthree restaurants are close to

agreement about the busiesttimes of the year.According to Bossio, Murphy,

and Candela, the busiest times of the year, give or take a month ortwo, range from September toFebruary.

All three of these businessesare located on Route 206 Southnear Lawrence Road Fire Compa-ny, about half of a mile beforeNotre Dame High School.

sues, people found that the mostprominent concerns were mentalhealth, substance abuse, chronicdisease, and insurance coverageand affordability.

People have been experiencingmore depression and stress,mainly as a result of the econom-ic downturn, which has led morepeople (specifically youth) to sub-stance abuse. In Mercer County,

60 percent of high school studentsreported that they indulge in al-cohol use, 27 percent use marijua-na, and 9 percent abuse prescrip-tion drugs. It was also found thatsubstance abuse and mentalhealth go hand-in-hand, which iswhere challenges from acquiringhelp arose.

Other health-related concernsinvolved healthy eating, obesityand chronic disease. Twenty-five

percent of Mercer County adultsare considered obese, which isslightly higher than New Jersey’srate, but lower than the national

rate. The reasons behind thiswere found to be the high costs of fruits and vegetables, fees of recreational facilities, as well as alack of time to exercise and eathealthy.

When you don’t take care of your body, that leads to chronicdisease, such as diabetes, heartdisease, cancer, and strokes,which were found to be the lead-ing killers of people in MercerCounty. In Mercer County, 9.1 per-

cent of people have diabetes, op-posed to the overall 8.7 percent of people who have it in New Jersey.

Owner of the Lawrencevillesalon Good Looks 4 Less DeniseTaylor, who was one of the sixpanelists who were available atthe meeting to represent specifictowns, departments and sectionsof the study, explained how child-hood obesity was one of hermajor concerns, since she sees

how much of a role it plays inMercer County being in thehealth and beauty industry.

“If we start to focus on diet and

exercise among our youth, somany other areas of this assess-ment could be lower,” she said.“For instance, stress, mentalhealth, depression, substanceabuse, and so on and so forth.”

Most of the people reportedthat part of the problem is health-care access. Wolff explained howMercer County is known for itshigh quality of health-care serv-ices with seven hospitals, 16 long-term care facilities and eight

health departments, but the wait-ing times to acquire an appoint-ment and in the waiting rooms,along with a lack of transporta-tion hinder people from gettinghelp. Also, 15 percent of people inMercer County aren’t insured.

Aside from the problems, thethree main strengths in MercerCounty that were found were thevariety of organizations andservices that are already working

on these issues; the helpful re-sources related to recreation,parks, and greenery; and the edu-cational system, which is the

main source of pride for resi-dents, and is a major appealingfactor for potential residents.

After Wolff reported the find-ings, Swenson explained the nextsteps that she and Healthy Re-sources in Action will take, sinceshe will lead the planning effort.

“The next steps in developingthe CHIP is really to identifywhere we want to focus in the

plan,” she said. “The CHIP will bea strategic blueprint that hopeful-ly will represent anybody wholooks at that plan and wants to

connect and align with that plan,either as an individual, institu-tion and organization, or as acommunity. Our next step is towork with the Community Advi-sory Board and other key commu-nity stakeholders in the planningprocess and gather feedback andinput from the community atlarge to really put this CHIP to-gether.”

Bishop David M. O’Connell willcelebrate a festive Mass to markthe 75th anniversary of theChurch of Saint Ann inLawrenceville on Aug. 5 at 12:30p.m. The Mass will be followed bya reception that includes a num-ber of the priests who haveserved St. Ann’s clergy fromLawrenceville and surroundingareas, founding members of theparish, and many of the faithfulparishioners who make this awonderful faith-filled community.

The Church of Saint Ann inLawrenceville has been celebrat-ing its founding in 1937 with ayear-long celebration, whichbegan with a charge to the parishby the pastor Msgr. R. VincentGartland to “Share the Spirit andSecure the Future.” After formerMayor Greg Puliti read theLawrence Township proclama-tion, all parishioners participated

in a ribbon cutting ceremony toenter into the celebratory year.Anniversary events have includ-ed a year-long series “Catholi-cism,” which engaged the com-munity in a global journey, living

the culture of the CatholicChurch, an Italian Mass and Fes-tival, International Covered Dish,Corpus Christi Procession, Pil-grimage to Canada, golf outing,and parish participation in theLawrenceville Community Dayand Memorial Day Parade. TheAnniversary Committee is coor-dinated by parishioner BobKusek and assisted by manyparishioners, some who remem-ber the early days of St. Ann’sfounding.

St. Ann’s first Mass was held atthe Burke Residence on Titus Av-enue in Lawrenceville in 1891.The Catholic community movedto several others residences until1905, when it found a more per-manent home at the newly con-structed Morris Hall Home forthe Aged on Lawrence Road. OnAug. 9, 1937, St. Ann’s Parish wasincorporated, and in less than a

year, a new church was dedicatedat the corner of Lawrence Aveand Lawrenceville Road. ThatChurch served as a Lawrencelandmark for 44 years until theearly morning hours of Jan. 2,

1985, when a devastating firecaused irreparable damage andthe building had to be razed.Then pastor, Msgr. Thomas Frain,with many loyal parishioners setabout building the presentchurch with a capacity for 750worshipers. The congregationhas grown from a few Catholicfamilies in 1891 to its current en-rollment of 2,600 families.

From its humble beginningsthe parish has been marked witha spirit of cooperation and sup-port. In 2001, the parish launcheda campaign to add a $6 millionFaith Development Center, whichembraces the Church building ontwo sides. This wonderful addi-tion was dedicated in 2006 andcontinues to serve an ever-grow-ing community.

The 75th Anniversary theme’sgoal is to share the great legacy of the parish community and to en-

sure that it is a source of life andlove and God’s grace for years tocome. For further information,contact Barbara Sopko at (609)883-5277, or by emailing [email protected].
