Diego Ovalle made a last-minute switch of sports.

Ovalle, like his older brother, Jose, who now kicks for the Sussex County Community College football team, played on the Ewing High School football team. Ovalle played football for Ewing for three years but finally followed his roots to start his senior year.

“My father, he's been begging me to play soccer,” Ovalle said. “I wasn't really sure, but he convinced me at the last second, so I had to switch. I had to try it out.”

Ovalle made a quick impact. He brings a winning attitude after sharing in the football team’s recent success, adds to a senior class that already has the likes of standout defender Noah Williams, and provides a boost to the attack for a program that has struggled to score goals. In his second game of the season, he scored five times in a 7-1 win over Lakewood.

“I felt like I was going to do good because I had stuff going on and was motivated to just score, I was thinking, at least two goals,” Ovalle said.

North Atlantic right whales, one of the largest animals on Earth, travel through waters off the New Jersey shore as they migrate along the East Coast. They are part of our state’s critical marine ecosystem, and their presence here gives us a direct stake in their well-being and a moral duty to do everything we can to ensure their survival.

There’s something undeniably cheerful about balloons. We buy them for birthday parties, graduations, weddings and other moments we celebrate. They’re colorful, familiar and, for a lot of people, simply part of the fun.

When people picture New Jersey’s classic natural landscapes, they often think of the Pine Barrens, the Jersey Shore, or the forests of the Highlands. But in the agricultural landscapes of the Delaware River Valley, all the way from Sussex and Warren to Salem and Cumberland counties, open fields of grasses and wildflowers provide some of our state’s most important and beautiful wildlife habitats.

Twenty-six years ago, September 11 meant back-to-school spirits; hazy, end-of-summer weather; the beginning of a season with rowdy fans, dressed in green, piling into Veterans Stadium to cheer on their favorite football team. When American Airlines Flight 11 hit the North Tower at 8:46 a.m. in 2001, though, everything changed. The crashes that subsequently hit the South Tower at 9:03, the Pentagon at 9:37, and an empty field in Shanksville, PA, alerted the country that this was an attack, unlike anything we had seen on U.S. soil since Pearl Harbor.

Trenton-Mercer Airport has a new leadership team, with Michael Caires taking over as airport director and Matt Parker named deputy airport director.

The appointments, which were made by County Executive Dan Benson, took effect Tuesday, Sept. 1, as the Ewing airport moves ahead with long-term expansion plans and prepares for the arrival of new airline service.

Caires was selected following a national search and will oversee airport operations. Parker, who has been serving as acting assistant airport manager, will support day-to-day operations, internal coordination and implementation of the airport director’s priorities.

“Trenton-Mercer Airport is at an important point in its evolution and requires focused, accountable leadership,” Benson said. “Michael brings deep airport-management experience.

With their inaugural season less than two months away, the Trenton Ironhawks are beginning to take shape both on and off the ice.

The ECHL team spent much of the summer preparing for its first season at CURE Insurance Arena, hiring veteran coach Chuck Weber, establishing ties with the community and beginning to build a roster with strong New Jersey connections.

The Ironhawks announced Sept. 3 that they had signed their first five players: Princeton native Luke Antonacci, John Gelatt of Middletown, Anthony Firriolo of Towaco, Mikey Colella of Turnersville and Nick Carabin of Mahwah, a former Princeton University defenseman.

Antonacci, 23, played youth hockey with the Mercer Chiefs before appearing in 127 NCAA games between the University of Maine and Lake Superior State University. He began his professional career last season, appearing in 15 games with the ECHL’s Utah Grizzlies.
