GSWS artists created their art to contemplate migration and change – a growing phenomenon in today’s world. Whether figurative or abstract, realistic or fanciful, this thoughtful art will inspire and cause the viewer to think and reflect on the state of the world’s people, wildlife and climate.

 

 

This exhibition is on display May 3 through Sept. 24, 2023, as well as online at www.gswcs.org. The exhibition at D&R Greenway Land Trust’s Johnson Education Center is at One Preservation Place, Princeton NJ 08540.

 

GSWS will host two Zoom Happy Hours with D&R Greenway Land Trust and the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ which are open to the public with preregistration, on May 25 and June 22, 5-6 p.m. Each will be a mashup of art and science highlighting Migratory Bats and Birds as well as artists discussing their work. Data will be included on bats and birds observed during early data-gathering at D&R Greenway’s newest Hillside Farm Preserve in Hopewell.

Artists researched and learned about the complex phenomenon of migration to create work that is meaningful to the exhibition theme. Migration is most often thought of as the seasonal movement of animals. Species in all major animal groups migrate. Some species travel astounding distances to reach environments that provide food and conditions for successful mating. Migration also relates to the movement of people. Currently and throughout history, people have left their homes voluntarily or involuntarily to seek safety and opportunity. Climate change is affecting the earth’s inhabitants globally and regionally at a quicker pace than anticipated. As glaciers melt and sea levels rise, weather patterns have become dangerous and unpredictable. As a result, whole communities of people, animals and even plants migrate in order to survive.

Linda Mead, President and CEO of D&R Greenway had this to say: “Among the most electrifying movements of our time is the migration of plants due to climate change and the effect on birds and wildlife that have evolved with these plants for their very survival. Likewise, human populations are migrating in great numbers. All of this has an impact, from what we see today on D&R Greenway preserves, to the survival of many species of the Earth. Remember, we are the top of the food chain and if we don’t do something to care for our natural and social climates, our own survival is at stake, too.”

 

A unique display upon entering the Johnson Education Center lobby will be GSWS’ 5th Annual Art Installation, “Going, Going, Gone…” “Fifty-three GSWS artists created 123 beautiful small works that call attention to New Jersey species identified by NJDEP as in greatest need of our conservation efforts. Artists submitted paintings of animals using a designated color scheme. GSWS is proud to partner with the D&R Greenway Land Trust to inform and inspire people into action.” said Tess Fields, President of GSWS. “This exhibit is another exciting intersection of science and art that will capture wide audience attention.”

 

Over its existence, GSWS has been a beacon for award-winning artists to inspire generations. The nonprofit organization’s goal is to encourage painting in water media, provide educational and exhibition opportunities for adult artists of NJ, PA, NY or DE. Please visit www.gswcs.org.

 

The public is invited to visit the art galleries, weekdays 10 am – 4 p.m. Open select weekends, hosted by GSWS artists, July 8-9 and Aug. 5-6 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Closed holidays. Visit www.drgeenway.org or call 609-924-4646 for more info.

Trenton-Mercer TSA checkpoint gets new screening machines

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoint at Trenton-Mercer Airport now features new equipment that enhances security and also serves as a convenience for travelers.

 

PHOTO by TSA: One of the two new 3-D checkpoint scanners that have recently been installed at Trenton-Mercer Airport.

 

“The TSA recently installed two new screening machines for carry-on bags at Trenton-Mercer, making it the first airport in New Jersey to have its checkpoint 100 percent equipped with this new technology,” said Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes.

 

These state-of-the-art machines provide 3-D imaging capable of detecting explosives and other threat items. Passengers using the new machines will be permitted to leave their electronic devices in their carry-on bags. The new scanners should result in fewer bag checks, according to the TSA, but if a bag requires further screening, a TSA officer will inspect it to ensure it does not contain a threat item.

D&R Greenway Land Trust announces the public grand opening of the new Discovery Center at Point Breeze in Bordentown

D&R Greenway Land Trust is pleased to welcome community members to the public opening of the new Discovery Center at Point Breeze on Saturday, May 20 from 1:00 – 5:00 p.m., 101 Park Street in Bordentown, N.J.

The Welcome Hall to the Discovery Center at Point Breeze features an 1847 map of the property and a framed auction advertisement from the 1940 era when the property was purchased by Divine Word Missionaries for $165,000

 

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place at 1:00 pm in front of the paneled mahogany doors at the entrance to the Discovery Center. Barbara ‘Blue Jay’ Michalski will offer a Lenape blessing. Bordentown City Mayor Jennifer Sciortino will be joined with State and local dignitaries to cut the ribbon, along with D&R Greenway President and CEO Linda Mead who oversaw the design of the new museum.

 

“The two years it took to renovate the 200-year-old house, that was lived in by nuns and priests for the past 80 years, was a flash compared to the property’s thirteen thousand years of history,” says Mead.

 

“It was a flash that has now put the Bordentown community on the world stage, with a welcoming place full of stories and discoveries that will delight history lovers, nature buffs, and artists alike.”

 

Preservation of the former estate of Joseph Napoleon Bonaparte, exiled King of Spain and older brother of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte of France, by the State of NJ, City of Bordentown and D&R Greenway in 2020, was heralded in the New York Times, the Times of London and the Spanish News Service. Following two years of renovations by D&R Greenway, the land trust is opening the former Gardener’s House, the only remaining structure from the Bonaparte era.  Guests will be treated to stories of the Crown Jewels, archaeological displays and a ca. 1819 painting of Joseph Bonaparte in its original frame that has never before been seen in public.  Local artists showcase unique features of the land while inviting visitors to discover these special places for themselves. Even the restrooms, named the Delaware River and the Crosswicks Creek Water Closets, share facts and stories about the waterways and history connected to Point Breeze.

Peter Dawson, Chair, Board of Trustees of D&R Greenway, says, “We are excited to offer this opportunity to discover a new place that is important in history and as a unique natural area, while recognizing people whose stewardship of land has protected this place and others for generation upon generation.”

 

Welcome to the Discovery Center at Point Breeze

Many centuries before Bonaparte lived at Point Breeze, the land was occupied by the Lenape. Chief Red Feather, an 88-year-old wisdom keeper from southern New Jersey, will be at the Grand Opening with unique Native American crafts made from stone, wood and leather, offered for purchase.  Recognition of the Lenape as the Original People of the Lenapekoking (land of the Lenape) is commemorated with a newly designed flag that recognizes the three Lenape clans: the turkey, the wolf and the turtle. The native peoples are known for their spiritual connection with the natural world that is recognized in the new Discovery Center.

The Original People Flag, designed by Eric Labacz, will welcome visitors to the Discovery Center at Point Breeze.

 

Members of the public are invited to the Public Grand Opening on May 20  to tour of the new Discovery Center and Historic Garden, view art and never-before-seen exhibits and a Delaware River sturgeon sculpture by artist Kate Graves.

 

Admission is at no cost.  Donations are gladly accepted, with a suggested donation of $10 to support conservation of this historic and ecologically sensitive property. All are welcome to discovery!

— Trenton-Mercer Airport is one of nine New Jersey airports being awarded a FY2023 Airport Improvement Program grant from the N.J. Department of Transportation.

 

It is also one of 29 airports nationwide that will receive funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation under the FY2023 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) FAA Contract Tower Program.

Trenton-Mercer is receiving a $700,000 state grant for the rehabilitation of Taxiway A, which represents 90 percent of the eligible cost of the project. The County will cover the remaining 10 percent.

 

The FAA grant being awarded to Trenton-Mercer under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) is for $400,000 to fund an Environmental Assessment study for the replacement of the airport’s aging air traffic control tower.

 

“We continually seek federal and state funds to help ensure that Trenton-Mercer Airport meets the highest industry operational and safety standards,” said Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes.

 

“In 2022 alone, our airport acquired more than $4.2 million in FAA grants and more than $900,000 in New Jersey Department of Transportation grants.”

Hughes Administration conducts full-scale emergency drill at airport

EWING, N.J. — Trenton-Mercer Airport (TTN) was the site of a Full-Scale Emergency Exercise on May 4 that included more than two dozen agencies and several hundred volunteers, and left Mercer County better prepared for a real emergency, County Executive Brian M. Hughes said.

The purpose of this exercise, which is required by the Federal Aviation Administration every three years, was to evaluate the level of preparedness of the first responders expected to be involved in an actual emergency at TTN. Additionally, it allowed professionals of various emergency disciplines the opportunity to train together at a real-life venue. It also provided an opportunity to critique the response procedures of emergency service personnel, as well as provide an opportunity to improve and revise the Airport Emergency Plan, if necessary.

 

“This exercise goes directly to the most important responsibility of government: the welfare and safety of our residents, our emergency responders and our airport users,” Mr. Hughes said.

 

The airport is part of the Mercer County Department of Transportation and Infrastructure, headed by Deputy Administrator Aaron T. Watson, who carefully monitored the progress of the exercise.

 

“The important elements of this exercise included the identification, coordination and assignment of specific agencies and equipment to specific tasks, the effectiveness of the lines of authority and communication, and the actual mechanics of the response and scene management,” Mr. Watson said. “Trenton-Mercer Airport has an impeccable safety record, and it is tests such as this that help us achieve success.”

PHOTO: First responders assist people at the “crash site” where buses represent the commercial aircraft.

 

The exercise, which was coordinated by Airport Manager Melinda Montgomery, focused on a passenger aircraft that had landed at the airport. During its landing roll, a single-engine aircraft began taxiing across the active runway, colliding with the commercial aircraft. This collision sheared off the main landing gear of the commercial aircraft, causing it to slide to a stop and causing a fuel leak.

 

Along with TTN Administration and TTN Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting-Station 34, agencies from every level of government took part in this exercise, including the Mercer County Sheriff’s Office, Mercer County Office of Emergency Management, Ewing Township Police Department, Ewing Township Office of Emergency Management, Hopewell Township Police Department, Hopewell Office of Emergency Management, New Jersey Division of Aeronautics, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).

Also, Ewing Township Fire Department-Station 30, Prospect Heights Fire Company-Station 31, West Trenton Fire Company-Station 33, Union-Titusville Fire Company-Station 53, Trenton EMS, Capital Health System EMS, Ewing Township EMS, Union Fire Company and Rescue Squad of Titusville, Pennington Fire Company-Station 51, Hopewell Fire Department-Station 52, Lawrence Township Fire Department-Station 20, Hamilton Township Fire Department-Station 10, Trenton Fire Department-Station 70, West Windsor Emergency Services, East Windsor Rescue Squad District One, Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad, Lawrence Township Emergency First Aid Squad, Hopewell Fire Department Emergency Medical Unit, Nottingham Ambulance Squad, Robert Wood Johnson Health Network EMS, Robbinsville Division of Fire, East Windsor Rescue Squad District Two, the Salvation Army and the Mercer County Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). Fire, Rescue and EMS agencies from outside Mercer County also assisted.

Trenton employees receive a boost in healthcare

A Partnership with Healthcare2U Provides City Staff with Direct Primary Care Membership

 

AUSTIN, TX.  — City of Trenton employees are now benefiting from an enhanced healthcare plan.

 

The plan provides a Direct Primary Care (DPC) membership to city staff and aims to ensure that a visit to a doctor is affordable and accessible. Following a statewide increase in health premiums for state employees, Trenton sought options to ensure those costs remained low. As a result, they opted for a self-funded insurance plan through Aetna that included Healthcare2U’s DPC membership. This move is expected to save the city $4.3 million annually.

 

The added Healthcare2U DPC membership gives employees an excellent option for affordable access to physicians and internists. With an out-of-pocket cost of $0 for virtual primary care, $10 for an in-office acute consultation, and $25 for urgent care, the city believes this encourages employees to maintain a regular check-up routine while reducing overall claims costs.

 

“Our direct primary care model is the only one of its kind in the nation. We are in all 50 states and thanks to the brokers who see us as a valuable addition to their portfolio, we are quickly expanding throughout New Jersey,” said Andy Bonner, CEO of Healthcare2U. “Our team works with members to facilitate timely and frequent access to medical care that can be essential to the early detection of a serious condition.”

 

“We’re fortunate to be partnering with Healthcare2U for city staff with direct primary care membership, which helps to ensure that all of our city employees can access timely, affordable, and essential health services,” said Mayor Reed Gusciora. “We are projected to save millions of dollars through our new insurance policy and we’re so grateful to all of our partners for helping to make this a reality.”

 

DPC is not meant to be a substitute for major medical insurance, but it does have its advantages. The low cost of an office visit with DPC is meant to prompt individuals to see a doctor more often and avoid developing a serious complication with an unaddressed or undiagnosed issue. In addition to acute and urgent care visits, the plan offers:

  • Unlimited access to bilingual licensed medical providers online or by phone, 24/7/365 for minor illnesses and injuries at $0 out-of-pocket cost to members
  • Annual physical with four labs: complete metabolic panel (CMP), complete blood count (CBC), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and lipid panel
  • Unlimited chronic disease management for 13 prevalent chronic disease states within manageable ranges.

Healthcare2U partners with third-party administrators, carriers, and brokers to provide their clients with the DPC membership as a non-insurance alternative. These partnerships also allow Healthcare2U the unique opportunity to embed its services into valuable solutions that are available for wide distribution in the marketplaces.

 

Membership with the City of Trenton is established through Healthcare2U’s partnership with   Fairview Insurance.

About Healthcare2U

Healthcare2U is a membership-based, hybrid direct primary care (DPC) organization that ensures employers of all sizes and structures have nationwide access to affordable, consistent, and quality primary care over 40% below the average cost of traditional DPC practices operating in the market today. Through our proprietary Private Physician Network (PPN)™, Healthcare2U promotes healthy living by detecting, treating, and managing acute and chronic conditions before the onset of serious illness. Healthcare2U is headquartered in Austin, Texas, and is available nationwide. For more information, visitwww.healthc2u.com. Follow us on Twitter @Healthc2U and on LinkedIn at Healthcare2U.
