Community health assessment unveiled
BY HEATHER FIORE
The Lawrence Sun
On Wednesday, July 18, the
Greater Mercer Public Health
Partnership (GMPHP) unveiled
its Mercer County Community
Health Assessment (CHA) at Edu-
cational Testing Services (ETS)
Conant Hall on Rosedale Road in
Princeton.
The GMPHP a collaborative
of four community hospitals,
eight local health departments,
and the United Way of Greater
Mercer County (UWGMC) lead a
comprehensive community
health planning effort to substan-
tially improve the health of Mer-
cer County, which involved 28
focus groups, 15 personal inter-
views with community stakehold-
ers and six discussion groups ex-
amining external factors.
CHAs use both qualitative
and quantitative data analyses of
a communitys social, economic
and epidemiological data to cre-
ate a comprehensive portrait of
community perceptions, health
attitudes and behaviors, and per-
ceived needs and assets, Project
Manager of the GMPHP Antonia
Lewis said.
This community health effort
is funded through the Robert
Wood Johnson Foundations New
Jersey Health Initiatives and en-
tails two major phases a CHA to
identify the health-related con-
cerns, needs and strengths of
Mercer County, and a community
health improvement plan (CHIP)
to address these concerns and
needs.
The GMPHP would not be pos-
sible if not for the vision of the
Robert Wood Johnson Founda-
tion and their New Jersey initia-
tive, President and COO of the
UWGMC Herb Klein said.
Robert Wood Johnson is the na-
tions largest philanthropy devot-
ed entirely to public health for the
United States.
Klein further explained what
the CHAs goal was.
Were at a crossroads in
America as we address the funda-
mental questions of what, when,
where, who and how health care
should be delivered in our com-
munity, he said. As youll hear
today, neighborhoods, transporta-
tion, housing environment, edu-
cation and income levels all play
an 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 the
reasons, methods and findings
from their research group.
This process was not just
about collecting information, but
about engaging the community
and organizations throughout the
process so that the data collection
methods were salient, and this
process was driven and owned by
the community, Wolff said.
Wolff explained that the CHA
engaged more than 400 people,
and involved a wide range of indi-
viduals who represented different
audiences, including youth, par-
ents, government officials,
health-care providers, education-
al leaders, social service
providers, people with disabili-
ties and people in drug recovery
programs.
One of the biggest findings was
a larger, socio-economic issue
that Wolff and the research group
found, which was that there is no
one Mercer County.
This area is diverse on a mul-

Summer is in full effect. Stu-
dents are out of school, families
are venturing off to various loca-
tions for their usual summer va-
cations, and many others have
jam-packed schedules involving a
variety of summer activities.
So, what effect does this have
on the businesses in town, partic-
ularly restaurants? Does business
slow down? Most people might
say yes, especially in Lawrence,
since a lot of the towns restau-
rants revenue is produced by the
students at Rider University.
However, the answers were sur-
prising when talking to the own-
ers of three local restaurants on
Route 206 that are only one mile
away from the university.
Owner of one of Lawrences
most popular sandwich spots,
Bossios Deli & Catering, Al
Bossio, explained how his busi-
ness is one of the many affected
by the absence of students at
Rider University.
Its definitely slower because
obviously you dont have that flux
of students that your normally
have, he said. Theres a big dif-
ference in business when theyre
not here. It drops between 25 and
30 percent.
Although Bossio sees a drop in
his customer base from June
until the end of August, he still
has a loyal customer base full of
locals and repeat customers, as
well as various summer camps
that are active around the area.
We get business mostly from
camps, he said. But, its spo-
radic. Theres a lot more when the
kids are there in September.

from Bossios Deli & Catering is

The Kelsey Awards
return on Aug. 11
The Kelsey Awards are back!
K2K Entertainment and Mercer
County Community Colleges
Kelsey Theatre will host the Sec-
ond Annual Kelsey Theatre
Awards on Saturday, Aug. 11, at 7
p.m. This entertaining and
unique awards show will be held
in the theater, on the colleges
West Windsor campus, 1200 Old
Trenton Road.
After holding a successful pre-
miere awards show in 2011,
K2KEntertainment has returned
to plan an evening quite unlike
any other. Awards will be present-
ed to the best theatrical produc-
tions and performers that took
the stage during the 2011-2012
Kelsey Theatre season, as select-
ed via two rounds of voting from
the community for Best Musi-
cal, Best Choreography, Best
Actor, and many more categories
that will ultimately create a night
full of fun and excitement!
The awards show will be host-
ed by actor and comedian Kyrus
Keenan Westcott, and co-hosted
by the talented Kelsey Theatre
veteran Dominick Sannelli. Both
actors were most recently seen on
the Kelsey stage in Playful The-
atre Productions A Chorus
Line.
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 nominated
for Outstanding Production of a
Musical.

titude of factors, she said. Race
ethnicity, family make-up, educa-
tional levels, income, so on and so
forth. For example, Mercer Coun-
ty overall ranked ninth among
New Jerseys 21 counties for its
median 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 are
on completely opposite sides of
the socio-economic scale. For ex-
ample, Wolff detailed how six of
Mercer Countys municipalities
have median incomes of $100,000,
while others like Trenton, whose
median income is around $37,000,
have nearly one-third to one-half
of that.
The other, most prevalent is-
sues that Wolff and Swensen
found involved vulnerable popu-
lation groups, a steady increase
in unemployment, transportation
concerns, high housing costs,
health issues and health-care ac-
cess and utilization.
From their findings, Wolff ex-
plained how people found the
youth and seniors of Mercer
County to be the most vulnerable
population groups. Younger peo-
ple have been experiencing more
stress, which has led to substan-
tial substance abuse one of the
major concerns among adoles-
cents. Seniors, who are limited in
their abilities, have the highest
growing population, which was
reported to encompass 17 percent
of Mercer Countys 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 in
2007, it was 3.9 percent, and in
2009, it nearly doubled to 7.7 per-
cent.
When it came to transporta-
tion, they found that residents of
Mercer County found it easier to
travel back and forth to New York
City and Philadelphia, rather
than within areas of Mercer
County because of the limited
and unreliable public transporta-
tion. As a result, people in the
area have become car-dependent,
which raises concerns because of
the rising, expensive gas prices.
In regard to overall health is-
County found to be diverse
on multitude of factors

I
ts 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?
Were going to find out. Right now,
our reporters are compiling lists of
questions for school leaders about the
new 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, well ask
if there will be any noticeable impact
on the schools.
Generally, well 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 youd like
our reporters to ask? If so, the time to
act is now.
Maybe you are concerned about the
budget (who isnt?). Or maybe youve
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
childs school.
Wed 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. It
makes 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. Well do
our best to get answers.
in our opinion
Ready for school?
Its August, so school doors open in only a few weeks
Any questions?
We are tracking down school leaders to
ask them questions about the upcom-
ing school year. So whats on your
mind? Send us your questions, and
well do our best to get answers.
one of Rider Universitys students go-to
pizza joints, Varsity Pizza, which said that
their business isnt greatly affected by the
loss of students.
Even though there is a significantly
lower population on the Rider campus, the
business doesnt really change that much
for us, owner Kevin Murphy said. Rider
is a very active campus during the summer
with a lot of different camps and activities
that go on there, so for a number of years,
weve 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 a
little bit more at the end of the day when
the camps are over.
Aside from steadily supplying Rider
Universitys campus and filling the stom-
achs of its students, Murphy explained
how Varsity Pizzas customers also come
from all of Lawrences public schools
everywhere in the local community, includ-
ing St. Anns, Notre Dame High School and
Lawrence High School.
Thats our market, he said. And, the
people that live in the homes in the neigh-
borhood around the store, as well as the
professional centers on Franklin Corner
Road.
Nestled in the heart of the Eldridge Park
neighborhood right across the street from
Varsity Pizza is Candelas Restaurant &
Pizzeria. One of the owners of this family-
run and owned business, Pietro Candela,
explained how his business doesnt see any
change in business because of the scarcity
of Rider Universitys students.
Rather, Candela explained how his busi-
ness continues to thrive during the sum-
mer, since his father, Vito Candela, built a
unique business for local residents to in-
dulge in year-round.
Were about the same or a little bit bet-
ter, he said. Rider doesnt really affect us
that much.
Since Candelas Restaurant and Pizzeria
doesnt really appeal to the on-the-go col-
lege student, their customers are usually
regulars.
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, Candelas Restaurant & Pizzeria pro-
vides a one-of-a-kind feel with its signa-
ture Italian dishes, as well as the wide
range of local fish it offers.
Inside we do a lot of different dishes

that people come in for, Candela
said. People come in more often
because we make different things
than your regular pizzeria restau-
rant. Ninety percent of the food is
Italian, but with the dinner spe-
cials I throw in some different
stuff like steak, tuna steak,
red snapper, salmon and sword-
fish.
Since the summer is known as
the national vacation time of the
year, all three restaurants have
also noticed the usual vacation
time period when most of
Lawrences residents temporarily
disappear.
Theres a three- or four-week
period where you can tell a lot of
people are on vacation, Bossio
said. Usually from the beginning
of July until the middle of Au-
gust, and then you see them start-
ing to come back.
Murphy also recognizes when
Lawrences residents retreat, and
noted how it affects Varsity
Pizzas business.
The last week in July and the
first week in August are big vaca-
tion weeks in this area, he said.
You have the three holidays
Fourth of July, Labor Day and
Memorial Day where people are
doing more cooking out and going
to the shore. So, between Memori-
al Day and Labor Day, well usual-
ly close, depending on the weath-
er.
Although Bossios Deli & Cater-
ing, Varsity Pizza and Candelas
Restaurant and Pizzeria vary in
their summertime business, all
three restaurants are close to
agreement about the busiest
times of the year.
According to Bossio, Murphy,
and Candela, the busiest times of
the year, give or take a month or
two, range from September to
February.
All three of these businesses
are located on Route 206 South
near Lawrence Road Fire Compa-
ny, about half of a mile before
Notre Dame High School.

AUGUST 1-7, 2012 THE LAWRENCE SUN 11
sues, people found that the most
prominent concerns were mental
health, substance abuse, chronic
disease, and insurance coverage
and affordability.
People have been experiencing
more depression and stress,
mainly as a result of the econom-
ic downturn, which has led more
people (specifically youth) to sub-
stance abuse. In Mercer County,
60 percent of high school students
reported that they indulge in al-
cohol use, 27 percent use marijua-
na, and 9 percent abuse prescrip-
tion drugs. It was also found that
substance abuse and mental
health go hand-in-hand, which is
where challenges from acquiring
help arose.
Other health-related concerns
involved healthy eating, obesity
and chronic disease. Twenty-five
percent of Mercer County adults
are considered obese, which is
slightly higher than New Jerseys
rate, but lower than the national
rate. The reasons behind this
were found to be the high costs of
fruits and vegetables, fees of
recreational facilities, as well as a
lack of time to exercise and eat
healthy.
When you dont take care of
your body, that leads to chronic
disease, such as diabetes, heart
disease, cancer, and strokes,
which were found to be the lead-
ing killers of people in Mercer
County. 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 Lawrenceville
salon Good Looks 4 Less Denise
Taylor, who was one of the six
panelists who were available at
the meeting to represent specific
towns, departments and sections
of the study, explained how child-
hood obesity was one of her
major concerns, since she sees
how much of a role it plays in
Mercer County being in the
health and beauty industry.
If we start to focus on diet and
exercise among our youth, so
many other areas of this assess-
ment could be lower, she said.
For instance, stress, mental
health, depression, substance
abuse, and so on and so forth.
Most of the people reported
that part of the problem is health-
care access. Wolff explained how
Mercer County is known for its
high 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 getting
help. Also, 15 percent of people in
Mercer County arent insured.
Aside from the problems, the
three main strengths in Mercer
County that were found were the
variety of organizations and
services 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 appealing
factor for potential residents.
After Wolff reported the find-
ings, Swenson explained the next
steps that she and Healthy Re-
sources in Action will take, since
she will lead the planning effort.
The next steps in developing
the CHIP is really to identify
where we want to focus in the
plan, she said. The CHIP will be
a strategic blueprint that hopeful-
ly will represent anybody who
looks at that plan and wants to
connect and align with that plan,
either as an individual, institu-
tion and organization, or as a
community. Our next step is to
work with the Community Advi-
sory Board and other key commu-
nity stakeholders in the planning
process and gather feedback and
input from the community at
large to really put this CHIP to-
gether.

Bishop David M. OConnell will
celebrate a festive Mass to mark
the 75th anniversary of the
Church of Saint Ann in
Lawrenceville on Aug. 5 at 12:30
p.m. The Mass will be followed by
a reception that includes a num-
ber of the priests who have
served St. Anns clergy from
Lawrenceville and surrounding
areas, founding members of the
parish, and many of the faithful
parishioners who make this a
wonderful faith-filled community.
The Church of Saint Ann in
Lawrenceville has been celebrat-
ing its founding in 1937 with a
year-long celebration, which
began with a charge to the parish
by the pastor Msgr. R. Vincent
Gartland to Share the Spirit and
Secure the Future. After former
Mayor Greg Puliti read the
Lawrence Township proclama-
tion, all parishioners participated
in a ribbon cutting ceremony to
enter 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 Catholic
Church, an Italian Mass and Fes-
tival, International Covered Dish,
Corpus Christi Procession, Pil-
grimage to Canada, golf outing,
and parish participation in the
Lawrenceville Community Day
and Memorial Day Parade. The
Anniversary Committee is coor-
dinated by parishioner Bob
Kusek and assisted by many
parishioners, some who remem-
ber the early days of St. Anns
founding.
St. Anns first Mass was held at
the Burke Residence on Titus Av-
enue in Lawrenceville in 1891.
The Catholic community moved
to several others residences until
1905, when it found a more per-
manent home at the newly con-
structed Morris Hall Home for
the Aged on Lawrence Road. On
Aug. 9, 1937, St. Anns Parish was
incorporated, and in less than a
year, a new church was dedicated
at the corner of Lawrence Ave
and Lawrenceville Road. That
Church served as a Lawrence
landmark for 44 years until the
early morning hours of Jan. 2,
1985, when a devastating fire
caused irreparable damage and
the building had to be razed.
Then pastor, Msgr. Thomas Frain,
with many loyal parishioners set
about building the present
church with a capacity for 750
worshipers. The congregation
has grown from a few Catholic
families in 1891 to its current en-
rollment of 2,600 families.
From its humble beginnings
the parish has been marked with
a spirit of cooperation and sup-
port. In 2001, the parish launched
a campaign to add a $6 million
Faith Development Center, which
embraces the Church building on
two sides. This wonderful addi-
tion was dedicated in 2006 and
continues to serve an ever-grow-
ing community.
The 75th Anniversary themes
goal is to share the great legacy of
the parish community and to en-
sure that it is a source of life and
love and Gods grace for years to
come. For further information,
