School district throws Charter School under the bus Says taxes will go up because of expansion

By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

The Princeton School Board is blaming the Princeton Charter School for why school taxes will go up by more than 4 percent this year.

School Board President Patrick Sullivan said Wednesday that the board is due to adopt its $95.2 million budget next week, a spending plan calling for a 4.1 percent hike to the tax levy. Figures showed that 1.2 percent of that increase - what

Public’s parking priorities identified

By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

When it comes to parking, the Princeton Council finds itself pulled in a million directions.

Merchants want longer hours for their customers to park, bike advocates need room to create bike lanes at the expense of on-street parking and residents want their neighborhoods protected, so the streets in front of their homes are not packed with cars.

To help guide the thinking of decision makers, the town hired a Boston-based consultant, Nelson/Nygaard Consulting Associates, to study parking in the downtown and some of the bordering neighborhoods. The firm had the first of its public information sessions Wednesday to gather input from the community, having earlier met with merchants and the town’s parking enforcement officers.

The focus of the study will be to see if there are steps the town can take to boost the economic vitality of Princeton, said municipal engineer Deanna Stockton at Wednesday’s session. An example of that is whether the time limits should be done away with.

She said Nelson/Nygaard’s analysis would be at the “30,000 foot” level, as opposed to a micro approach. She said the eventual report the firm delivers to the governing body in September will

Sullivan termed the “Charter School tax” - will go to cover the phased in enrollment expansion at Princeton Charter.

School purpose taxes are due to rise by $197 at the average home assessment of $821,771.

Overall, the tax levy to support the budget will be $78.7 million, according to the district.

The board is scheduled to vote Tuesday to adopt the spending plan for the fiscal year starting in July.

In working on its budget, the district had faced a much higher tax hike, initially more than 5 percent, and sought to whittle away the increase.

“Keeping taxes down is something the board is always mindful of, while maintaining academic quality,” Sullivan said.

The district plans to add more staff, including two elementary school teachers in response to a growing enrollment that has seen the public schools add 332 more students in the past five years.

Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane said Wednesday that one of the teachers would be assigned to Community Park Elementary School, while he has not decided where the other one will go.

Yet the enrollment growth at Princeton Charter - an additional

54 more students for September will mean an extra $1.1 million the district will have to turn over to the Charter. Sullivan said the “Charter School tax makes our increase much higher” this year.

“But given our enrollment increases,” Sullivan continued, “I think we’ve done a very good job in keeping the increase in line with historical precedents.”

For his part, Charter School Board President Paul Josephson had no comment Wednesday.

Princeton Charter and the school board have fought over the enrollment expansion, one that the acting state Education Commissioner Kimberley Harrington ap-

University unveils possible location for its next dorm

By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Princeton University on Monday unveiled a possible location for its next student dormitory on campus as well as roughly where a new pedestrian and light vehicle bridge would cross Lake Carnegie connecting Princeton with West Windsor as part of Nassau Hall’s expansion into the nearby community.

Based on the work of the university’s planners, the new residential college “potentially” could go in the vicinity of the softball field and the tennis courts, thus requiring those sports to move. University Vice President and Secretary Robert K. Durkee said the new athletic facilities for those Courtesy photo sports “most likely” would be part of the university’s larger plans for West Windsor.

Seminary’s fiscal path forward may include fewer students

By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Princeton Theological Seminary is considering selling or leasing some of its real estate, including its campus in West Windsor, and shrinking the student body as part of a proposal designed to chart a sustainable fiscal path forward for the 205-year-old school.

Those and other issues will be considered by the Seminary’s Board of Trustees next month See PARKING, Page 15 when they meet. Earlier this year,

the board backed studying having one Princeton campus, in a move that also would mean renovating and or replacing buildings on the main campus. The board also wants to see the seminary rely less on its roughly $1 billion endowment to finance annual operations.

“The seminary is in the early stages of long-range planning for its campus and facilities and is exploring various possibilities for enriching our residential model of student formation. As our plans become more concrete we will engage neighbors and community

partners at the appropriate time,” seminary spokeswoman Beth DeMauro said in a statement. “The goal of our planning processes is to be faithful to our mission, ensuring the seminary’s continued ability to shape current and future generations of servant leaders who will become pastors, chaplains, teachers, missionaries, professionals in the nonprofit or government sectors, and innovators of new forms of ministry in Princeton and across the globe.”

In a message this month to students and others, seminary Presi-

proved, despite fierce opposition from the community.

As the district looks to wrap up one budget-making season, they are seeking to get funding from the likes of Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study to support the school system. The school board formed a three-member-committee to approach them about contributing financially to the schools, where faculty, staff and, in the case of the IAS, visiting scholars send their children.

Sullivan said he is looking for the committee to come up with a strategy, a message and a target dollar amount.

dent M. Craig Barnes outlined what’s being considered. Proposed steps include building apartments for married and single students on the main campus; renovating Hodge and Brown halls; “replacing or renovating the Mackay Center to create a true campus center”; and renovating “Alexander Hall as an intellectual commons, including office space for the entire faculty and some administrative departments.”

Another proposal calls for the seminary to “monetize,” in See SEMINARY, Page 15

Plea deal for sex offender’s failure to comply

By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

The man who raped a Princeton University student on campus in the 1980s last month admitted that he had failed to comply with New Jersey’s sex offender law when he moved into Burlington County without registering with police.

Michael V. Tufano, 46,

took a plea bargain March 21 from the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office rather than go on trial. The deal calls for him to get two years’ probation at his sentencing, scheduled for May 12, in Burlington County Superior Court.

His latest legal troubles started last year when Tufano moved from Princeton to Chesterfield. He was re-

quired to notify Princeton Police that he was leaving town and then register with Chesterfield Police, per Megan’s Law. But he did neither, authorities had said.

Ross Gigliotti, his defense lawyer, said Wednesday that Tufano had thought that he was no longer bound by the requirements of the law.

Tufano was charged in

July by both police departments, although the case was handled in Burlington County. His criminal past includes a campus rape of a Princeton co-ed on Jan.8, 1989.

Tufano was 18 when he attacked a 19-year-old female student, in Prospect Gardens. He was convicted at trial that December and later sentenced to 10 years

Two Princeton University buildings get new names

By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Author Toni Morrison has a building at Princeton University named after her, the university announced Tuesday in honoring a past winner of the Pulitzer and Nobel prizes who also taught at Princeton.

West College, a 19thcentury-building located in the main campus, will become Morrison Hall starting July 1. The building had taken its “West” name not after a person, but rather because it is located to the west of Cannon Green, an area behind Nassau Hall where a cannon is buried nose first in the ground, according to the university.

The university also an-

nounced that a lecture hall at its public policy school will be named for the late Nobel prize winning economist Arthur Lewis, who taught at the university starting in the 1960s. He died in 1991.

Arthur Lewis Auditorium will replace Dodds Auditorium, named for the the 15th university president Harold Willis Dodds, who ran Nassau Hall from 1933 to 1957. The name change also takes effect July 1, with the atrium at the school named for Dodds.

In both cases, the university sought to recognize black scholars at an Ivy League school that had recently wrestled with the legacy of Woodrow Wilson, the former university and

US president. A student group, the Black Justice League, in November 2015, took over Nassau Hall and demanded that Wilson’s name be taken off the university’s public policy school and other campus buildings, given his racist views toward blacks.

The university declined to remove Wilson’s name from the school, but last year took down a large photo of him that had hung in the dining room of a dormitory, Wilson College. The university also changed the titles for the faculty members who lead the six residential colleges, from “master” to “head,” to do away with what Nassau Hall called “antiquated terminology” that had made some people feel uncomfortable.

Board to hear State Road development plan

By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

A proposed mixed-use development with retail and offices along State Road will go before the municipal zoning board sometime in the coming months.

Edward Bucci, a Trentonbased builder with deep roots in the Princeton area for high-end custom homes, wants to construct a twostory building with retail on the first floor and offices on top. The project last week went before the town’s Site Plan Review Advisory Board as part of the regular review the municipality does of projects.

At that meeting, the developer indicated he wanted to have approval for a 24seat restaurant.

For now, plans call for six retail tenants on the first floor and four offices on the second; each floor would occupy about 9,100 square

feet. The project mimics another Bucci development, on Route 31, in Pennington.

The Zoning Board will hear the case because a restaurant is not permitted by municipal zoning for where the property is located. Municipal Zoning Officer Derek Bridger said Wednesday that the project

could go before the board in May or June. A hearing has not been scheduled.

The land, spanning some 2.3 acres, is vacant. It had been used for construction staging, according to the municipality.

In June, Bucci filed plans with the town for the development.

Other universities have similarly wrestled with their past and how they have recognized flawed characters. For instance, Yale University earlier this year announced it was dropping former U.S. Vice President and Yale alumnus John C. Calhoun’s name off

one of its residential colleges. The university described Calhoun as a “white supremacist” who promoted slavery.

For its part, Princeton was silent on the Wilson controversy from two years ago, only that the name changes to honor Morrison

and Lewis grew out of a naming committee formed last year to advise university officials about naming “buildings or other spaces not already named for historical figures or donors to recognize individuals who would bring a more diverse presence to the campus.”.

State targets illegal dumpers in parks, forests

By Michele S. Byers

It’s a gorgeous day, you’ve arrived at your favorite park and are looking forward to a hike, some bird-watching, photography and soaking in the sights and sounds of nature. You’ve gone a short distance when you come across - yikes! - a pile of construction debris, an old refrigerator, bags of trash and other junk.

This scene is encountered by New Jersey outdoor lovers all too often. But it’s one that the state is working to combat through a beefed-up enforcement and awareness campaign.

This month is the third anniversary of “Don’t Waste Our Open Space,” a coordinated effort launched by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection in response to increased dumping on the state’s natural lands.

“Public lands all over New Jersey are being used as dumping grounds,” according to the Department of Environmental Protection. “Litter, garbage bags, tires, televisions, electronic waste, appliances, yard waste and construction debris are being dumped and threatening our local environment, animals and public.”

The state owns and manages more than 170 parks, forests, wildlife management areas and preserves on some 813,000 acres of open space in this state we’re in.

Not only does illegal dumping mar the natural beauty of these lands, it can cost taxpayers a lot of money to clean up. It also jeopardizes public health when hazardous chemicals are dumped.

Since the start of the “Don’t Waste Our Open Space” campaign, State Park Police and Division of Fish and Wildlife conservation officers have arrested more than 130 people. Investigations have been initiated in all 21 counties.

Those nabbed in the past year include a Mercer County man charged with dumping drums of dry-cleaning chemicals along the towpath at the Delaware & Raritan Canal State Park; a hauler who allegedly collected trash from a park site in Philadelphia and dumped it in a Gloucester County wildlife management area; and a Passaic County man accused of discarding a couch at Allamuchy Mountain State Park in Sussex County. Owners of abandoned boats, trailers, campers and motor vehicles have also been caught.

Technology is assisting in the crackdown, as State Park Police and conservation officers have installed motion-sensor cameras in strategic locations.

The Department of Environmental Protection has created an app to allow park visitors to take photos on their phones and submit them directly to enforcement officers. Visitors without smartphones can call 1-877-WARNDEP to report possible violations.

Hats off to the state for clamping down on illegal dumping! Hopefully, the combination of better surveillance, citizen assistance, more arrests and stiffer penalties will discourage would-be polluters from dumping their waste at taxpayer expense.

Saving Herrontown Woods and the Veblen House

In 2013, several Princeton residents first discovered a local problem and then came together to solve it. Their discovery was that the trails through Herrontown Woods and the nearby Autumn Hill Preserve had become blocked by fallen trees and branches. This not only prevented access to the woods but to the historically significant Veblen House and its cottage, barn and corn crib.

This group, later to become the Friends of Herrontown Woods (FOHW), obtained permission and then proceeded to clear the trails through the two preserves, while making plans to renovate the buildings.

Now in its fifth year, FOHW has succeeded in opening the trails through the 210 acres, and has formally submitted a proposal to repair the buildings. The “Little Nonprofit That Could,” it has demonstrated how a small nonprofit can provide much needed public service while governments and other, larger organizations put their priorities elsewhere.

But its initiative is at a crossroads. Mercer County, which owns the Herrontown Woods preserve, has long wanted to tear down the Veblen House, cottage and out buildings, unless a Michele S. Byers is executive director of well-funded organization steps forward to save them. FOHW the New Jersey Conservation Foundation in believes it has sufficient funds in hand to complete muchneeded initial repairs, and the proven resourcefulness and comMorristown. mitment to follow through with additional fundraising as needed.

FAX (609) 921-2714 (Advertising) In the 1930s, he and his wife Elizabeth began acquiring land FAX (609) 924-3842 (Editorial) along the ridge. In 1936, they bought the cottage in what they came to call Herrontown Woods. In 1941, they purchased what is now known as the Veblen House from an eccentric New York aristocrat named Jesse Paulmier Whiton-Stuart and his

wife, Mary Marshall Ogden. Her lineage could be traced back to Chief Justice John Marshall and pilgrim John Ogden.

Veblen’s interests and abilities ranged in many directions, and he acted on many of them. As the Nazis rose to power in Germany, he established academic positions in this country to draw and sustain German scientists, including a number of top scholars, most famously Albert Einstein.

A marksman growing up in the Midwest, Veblen applied his mathematical skills and leadership abilities in both World Wars, assisting the U.S. military with ballistics. George Dyson, author and son of famed physicist Freeman Dyson, devoted a chapter to Veblen’s role in developing computers. And, pulling a number of subjects together, Veblen helped conceive of and establish the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton - and acquired land for what is now the Institute Woods. He was, in short, important to the university, the town, and indeed the country, through his science, ideas, their realization, and his awareness.

With many mathematicians and scientists arriving at the university and Institute, Elizabeth saw the need to socially bring them together. She also kept on the Whiten-Stuart’s caretaker and gardener, Max Latterman, who then helped her transform the gardens surrounding the Veblen House into “a Beatrix Potter” storyland. In their house at the edge of Herrontown Woods, she and Oscar added additional European touches to the finely crafted woodwork originally created by a Russian woodworker.

In a time when computers, media, and machines occupy much of our lives, it seems self-evidently important to preserve not only stands of nature but evidence of our culture and history, in this case, the Veblen House. And an important part of that history is the story of how others have woven together interests and efforts that reflect our personal and social complexities and our values.

What many enjoy about our town is its mixture of preserved history, culture, and nature. To lose the Veblen House would leave a hole in our story.

Naturalist and musician Stephen Hiltner and his fellow board members have been leading the effort, by presenting the county with a plan and its financing, to preserve the Veblen House and cottage. Any readers who share this interest in preserving Nature, the house, and the story of its inter-weaving with culture can assist in the effort by contacting Friends of Herrontown Woods.

WHAT’S UP

PHS softball bounces back from slow start

RESULTS

By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

Somerset Relays The Montgomery High boys and girls each finished fourth at the Somerset County Relays, which were held Ridge High School last Saturday. The boys 4x110 shuttle hurdles relay team of Shrikeshav Deshmukh, Jason Knight, Christian Williams and Zachary Tamuzza finished first with a time of 1:03.42. The 4x200 relay team, as well as the 4x800 relay team, 4x1,600 relay team and high jump relay each finished second. The pole vault relay was tied for second, while the sprint medley team and triple jump relay each finished third.

In the girls meet, the 4x100 relay team of Sarah Knight, Camille Negron, Emma Raccaro and Sophia Sharpless finished first in 51.06 seconds. The 4x200 relay, 4x800, distance medley, and 4x100 hurdles relays finished second, while the 4x400 relay and triple jump relays were third.

TCNJ HS Open Princeton High senior Will Hare finished first in the 2,000 meter steeplechase event at The College of New Jersey High School Open, which was held last Saturday at TCNJ. Hare finished in 6:26.82 to win the event. The West WindsorPlainsboro High North 4x100 relay of Isaiah Miranda, Miles Fye-Moore, Evan Francis and John Owens finished first in 43.82 seconds, while the Knights’ 4x400 relay of Francis, Fye-Moore, Atharv Kulkarni and Owens was first in 3:24.25. Fye-Moore was second in the 200 meters and Owens was second in the long jump, while North’s 4x800 relay and distance medley were also second.

In the girls meet, Aditi Parekh of WW-P North finished third in the 100-meter hurdles. The Knights 4x800 relay also finished third.

The season didn’t start exactly the way the Princeton High softball team hoped it would.

The Little Tigers were no hit twice during an 0-4 start to the season. But Princeton has bounced back behind three strong efforts, earning a pair of wins against Trenton and a win over Hamilton to get its record to 3-4 heading into Wednesday’s game against Nottingham.

“I think the winning is going to keep our motivation up and help us build confidence,” said senior Kayla Volante, who pitched a twohitter and struck out 13 in an 11-2 win over Hamilton on Tuesday “It’s good for us that we are finally winning. It’s very positive and can go up from here.

“We’re hitting the ball very well. If we can continue to hit the ball we’ll be good. That’s been our struggle to get going with our hitting. We didn’t score many in the first few games. This gets us going and motivated to get more. Everyone is excited now and thinks we can do even better. We started off with some hard competition.”

Princeton scored just two runs in its first four games before the bats came to life in a 10-0 win over Trenton, which was followed by a 15-0 win over Trenton four days later. The Little Tigers made it 36 runs in three games with the win over Hamilton. Sydney Durbin and Nancy Gray had two hits apiece, while Gillian Nadler and Megan Shanahan each drove in three runs against the Hornets.

“I think Trenton was the confidence booster we needed,” Princeton coach Marissa Soprano said.

“We had three really tough teams to start with South, Ewing and Notre Dame. We finally got the bats going at Notre Dame and scored a couple runs and then against Trenton they came out ready to hit and that carried over into today. So we were happy to see that.

“We’ve been doing a good job defensively. It was really that offense that was off to a slow start.

Hopefully we can carry this momentum into the next few games.”

Senior Kayla Volante tossed a two-hitter to help the Princeton High softball team past Hamilton, 11-2, on Tuesday for its third straight win.

Volante has been steady on the mound for the Little Tigers. She allowed just five hits and struck out 17 batters in her two combined starts against Trenton. She has established herself as a strong pitcher and has confidence in her defense, which makes her job easier.

“It’s been going good for me,” Volante said. “It’s fun to work

with the umpires and adjust to their strike zones. I like being able to strike people out and get some outs. We have a good defense and they were making the plays.

Everyone in the infield is a junior or a senior so we have been playing together.”

Added Soprano: “She has been working very hard. She and the rest of the senior class have been

Cougars’ Matt Ryan finds way to contribute

By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

Matt Ryan is making the most of a tough situation this year.

A senior on the Montgomery High baseball team, Ryan is unable to pitch for the Cougars this year due to off-season arm surgery. But that hasn’t stopped Ryan from making a big contribution for the Cougars this season.

While his injury has kept him off the mound this season, it hasn’t stopped him from making an impact at the plate. Last Saturday, Ryan’s three-run double in the bottom of the sixth broke a 6-6 tie and helped Montgomery to a 10-6

win over Morristown. The Cougars followed that win with a 4-2 win over North Hunterdon on Tuesday to improve to 9-0 on the season.

“I had Tommy John surgery,” Ryan said. “I would normally be a pitcher, but I am still coming back from that. Hopefully I will be able to play some first base at some point in the season and maybe get back on the mound in the summer.

“It’s much better than riding the pine. I am more of a pitcher. I am going to play in college and pitch so that is what I am going to be focusing on. It’s fun to be swinging the bat well lately.

That’s my focus right now.”

Ryan has a pair of home runs and a team-high 14 runs batted in through the first nine games this season. He’s been used as a designated hitter and helped contribute to a perfect start to the season with .357 batting average.

“It’s been fantastic,” Ryan said. “Our record looks great but our heads aren’t getting big or anything. We’re trying to stay even headed and focus on what we have to do. That‘s been our attitude. Every day is a new game and we’re not trying to do too much. We’re just trying to play and have fun and we’re doing well

so far.”

Nine straight wins to start the season is about as good as it gets for the Cougars. They faced a huge challenge against Morristown and rallied for the win after letting a 5-1 lead slip away.

“We were faced with adversity,” said Ryan, who will attend the University of Delaware, where he plans to pitch for the Blue Hens. “But I think we have a team of fighters. We always just try and stay loose and go about our business. That’s really what we did.

We didn’t panic. We tried to stay calm and fight through it.”

That kind of calm and fight See RYAN, Page 9

Sidhu comfortable and steady for WW-P North tennis

By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

Nihal Sidhu is quite comfortable where he is in the lineup for the West Windsor-Plainsboro High North boys tennis team.

And so, apparently, are the rest of his teammates.

Sidhu is back for his second season at third singles for the Knights. He has won six of his seven matches, helping the Knights to a 6-1 start, including an impressive 5-0 win over Princeton on Wednesday.

“I have been feeling really good,” said Sidhu, who posted a 6-0, 6-0 win over Brandon Peng in the win over Princeton. “Last year I was playing third singles

and I am playing third singles again this year. I have been feeling really good and really confident with this team. It feels comfortable being back at the same spot knowing we have Arjun (Krishnan) and Nolan (Shah) playing at the the first two spots.”

Krishnan has moved from No. 1 singles a year ago into the second singles spot with the arrival of Shah, a freshman who is off to an impressive start to the season.

The Knights returned three of their top seven players from last year, but only Sidhu is playing at the same position. The rest of the players have settled in well to their n roles and

helped the team to a nice start as it heads into next week’s Mercer County Tournament.

“I have been loving how we have been playing,” said Sidhu, a junior who finished third at third singles at last year’s MCT. “Our doubles has been playing very well.

And our singles players are just fighters. They are fighting out there every match.

We’re looking forward to doing well in counties.”

After playing as an alternate as a freshman, Sidhu stepped into the third singles role as a sophomore and is now in his second season at the position. He’s been a strong and steady player for the Knights and hopes to see that success continue.

was what Montgomery coach Peter Mueller was hoping to see from his team, which was scheduled to face Immaculata on Thursday and will play Mendham on Friday.

“We have had some things go our way,” Mueller said. “We’re showing some resiliency.

We need games like this for a lot of reasons. I need to learn about my team and what they do at certain moments and are moments too big or can they handle them. And we need to play under adversity to get experience and also see how we handle it.”

One thing Mueller knows he can count on is a contribution from Ryan, who has handled what could have been a tough situation very well.

“He’s able to feel a part

a leadership role this season for the Knights. It is something he enjoys.

“Four of our seven positions are new guys,” he said.

“They all play USTA tournaments and they are all match play ready. So it is just getting to used to what they have to do for high school tennis.

We’re looking forward to the counties and hopefully getting a top three finish.”

Princeton has a completely new look to its lineup. Only Kevin Yang, who has moved from third to first singles, is back in the lineup. The Little Tigers have six new players in the lineup joining Yang.

“We’re getting battle tested,” said Princeton coach Sarah Hibbert, whose

team fell to 5-1 with the loss to North. “We only have one returning from our full starting lineup last year.

Some of these guys had some experience and played some part time. Kevin is moving up to first and everyone else is kind of filling in the gap.

“They are all working hard. Simon (Hwang) played a great match today (at second singles). Unfortunately he cramped up at the end and couldn’t finish it the way he wanted to.”

Yang has moved up from third to first and the rest of the lineup is settling into their new spots.

“They are all working hard and gaining experience,” Hibbert said.

Bowman, Cherry Valley honored

Ryan Continued from Page 8

“Being able to keep the position, I think it is a lot of confidence and the team play,” he said. “I have been able to figure out what to do in matches and what not to do. The experience from last year helps a lot.”

A year ago, North reached the finals of the North Jersey, Section 2 Group III tournament before falling to Millburn.

This year the Knights would like to take their success one step further.

“This year we’re looking forward to going deeper,” Sidhu said. “We have some new people at doubles and singles. So we’re looking to do better.”

As a returning starter, Sidhu is taking on more of

of it,” Mueller said of Ryan, who was 5-2 as a pitcher last season for the Cougars. “He’s focused in trying to do his part. He’s taking extra batting practice and doing all the things that he thought he never had a lot of time for because of the pitching component. He not has time for those things. He’s athletic and he’s a big part of our lineup.

“He’s in the five hole right now. He has a lot of varsity swings under his belt because he played last year, too. He’s capable of hitting the ball out of the park. He has a couple home runs this year and he hammered that double in there (against Morristown).”

Ryan has managed to make the most out of a tough situation and has continued to work hard.

“When the injury hap-

pened and we knew he could probably swing for us we said, well now you can get in the cage early in January and February and start working yourself as a hitter.” Mueller said. “Normally that time is devoted to pitching drills and skills.

Hitting was always a secondary thing.”

Added Ryan: “I am just taking it nice and easy and helping these guys out. We have a great team that plays well together. With Mike (Patrizio) at short, he’s the fastest kid I have ever seen on the bases.

Lance Palmer, Andrew Case, Vic (Avancha), really all of our pitchers this year have picked it up a ton. They are doing a great job so far being aggressive. They all have great stuff. Everything is coming together the best it can.”

Cherry Valley Country Club was recently presented with the 2016 New Jersey Golf Foundation Club of the Year Award.

CVCC Golf Chairman Scott Carpenter and PGA Professional and Director of Golf Allan Bowman accepted the award on behalf of the CVCC membership.

Bowman, who helped found the foundation fifteen years ago and has helped raise money for the NJGF, is the driving force behind this honor. One indication is his annual commitment to play in a golf marathon that has raised nearly $100,000 through the years for NJGF, and serves as the model for other club pros to do the same.

This effort has helped lead the Skillman, New Jersey club to yet another honor. Cherry Valley first won the award in 2004.

“Our members love to support Allan’s efforts, especially when the benefici-

aries are our youth, our military and our friends with special needs. It’s in our DNA,” says Carpenter.

Founded in 2004, New Jersey Golf Foundation is the charitable arm of the New Jersey Section, PGA of America (NJPGA). NJGF is committed to positively impacting lives and communities through the game of golf with a focus on three core pillars; youth, military and special needs. Under the guidance of PGA Professionals, programming is designed to provide individuals from all backgrounds an opportunity to experience the game of golf in a welcoming environment.

“Simply stated, NJGF would not exist without Allan Bowman,” says NJGF Secretary Hugh Miller. He continued, “Allan’s herculean efforts set an example for both his peers and his members. This past year was the fifteenth year that Allan and the

Cherry Valley membership rallied to raise key money that is the lifeline of our existence.”

Mr. Miller further detailed the programs that the NJGF supports, explaining “These monies are used to teach the game of golf to thousands of kids in schools, many of whom would not otherwise have the opportunity. Military veterans, many of whom are disabled, are given the opportunity to learn the game from volunteer NJPGA professionals.

And hundreds of adults and children with special needs now participate in golf thanks to the commitments of the NJGF and our PGA professionals.”

The philanthropic spirit has run consistently at CVCC for years. “Allan’s original golf marathon, supported by the CVCC members, actually served as the seed money for the creation of the NJGF,” according to Miller.

WEST WINDSOR

Incoming police chief plugged into the community for a long time

By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

For West Windsor police Lt. Robert Garofalo, it all came down to this - did he want to spend his life sitting in a darkened room staring at a computer screen, or did he want to be out-of-doors helping people in need.

There wasn’t exactly an “a-ha” moment when the future police officer, who was a Monmouth University student, decided to switch his college major from computer science to criminal justice.

“It just clicked,” Lt. Garofalo said. “I like to help people and I thought I could go out there and make a difference. I enjoy computer programming, but not the isolation of it.”

And that’s why Lt. Garofalo - soon to be Chief of Police Garofalo - joined the West Windsor Township Police Department 28 years

ago. It is a decision that the Monroe Township native has never regretted.

Lt. Garofalo is poised to take over command of the West Windsor Township Police Department on July 1, succeeding Chief of Police Joseph Pica. The current police chief is retiring on June 30, capping a 43year career as a police officer in the township.

“I never really thought about the next step in my career until there was an opening. I was just happy to be working this job, so there was no thought of being police chief,” said Lt. Garofalo, who rose through the ranks from patrolman to sergeant to lieutenant.

When he joined the West Windsor Township Police Department in 1989, it was a very different community.

It was mostly farmland, and the criminal activity was different, he said.

“It was dead quiet at 3

a.m. on Wednesday morn- the Police Department’s ing. It’s not so quiet now,” transition into the computer Lt. Garofalo said.

After six by the Police Department to years, he was made the ad- communicate with residents. ministrative officer and asLt. Garofalo said he apsigned to help coordinate proached Chief Pica with

the proposal to incorporate social media into the Police Department’s tool box. It was also around the time that Hurricane Irene struck New Jersey in 2011, causing flooding and extensive damage.

Although Chief Pica was not familiar with Facebook, he gave the go-ahead to Lt. Garofalo.

“We tried it, and we got it going and we got 150 ‘likes.’ We were on Facebook 24 hours a day when Hurricane Irene hit. We let people know which streets were flooded and the conditions around town. The residents responded back,” Lt. Garofalo said.

“We got people from India and Russia who wanted to know what was happening because they had family in West Windsor. We put pictures up (of the conditions during Hurricane Irene). We got national attention. Social media was a new

concept for us,” he said.

Today’s “Operation Lighthouse” grew out of those early efforts, he said. It is an extension of the Police Department’s efforts to reach residents through social media and to allow for direct communication between the police and the residents.

Social media now is an integral part of the Police Department’s efforts to connect with the residents.

There are 6,000 Facebook users, 3,500 Twitter followers and nearly 14,000 Nixle users, Lt. Garofalo said.

Looking ahead to his imminent promotion to Chief of Police, Lt. Garofalo said he wants to continue Chief Pica’s legacy “doing the right thing” for the Police Department and the residents it serves. It includes on-going training for police officers, as well as increasing the size of the department to meet the community’s needs.

First-ever Community Day to feature food, fun and face-painting

By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Food trucks, face-painting, an inflatable slide, a rock-climbing wall and a performance by West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North’s jazz band are among the attractions at West Windsor Township’s

Community Day, set for April 29.

The free event, which is geared toward families, will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Duck Pond Park on Meadow Road. It is a new event in a new township park, said Ken Jacobs, the township’s manager of recreation and parks.

Visitors to Community Day will learn about what is available in West Windsor Township, from businesses to nonprofit groups. The businesses and organizations will set up booths with information about themselves and what they have to offer.

Representatives from the

Police Department, the Health Department, the Human Relations Council and the West Windsor Arts Council also will be on hand to explain what they do and what they can offer.

Children’s activities include an inflatable “bounce house,” a rock-climbing wall, an obstacle course and

a carnival area with games such as ring toss and a knock-over-the-can game.

Community Day, which is a collaborative effort between West Windsor Township and the Religious Leaders of West Windsor group, has been more than a year in the making. The goal is to bring the community together in a fun and familyfriendly way.

The impetus for Community Day grew out of discussions among faith leaders in the township, said the Rev. Ken Smith of the Princeton Meadow Church.

The Religious Leaders of West Windsor includes priests, ministers, imams and rabbis from the Catholic, Protestant, Latter Day Saints, Muslim and Jewish congregations.

Although each religion has its own beliefs and traditions, the faith leaders agreed that what united them was their strong convictions about caring for and loving their neighbors, Smith said. They decided to focus on core values - primarily, how to work cooper-

atively for the health and well-being of West Windsor Township, he said.

“There is a great deal to be said to promoting the kind of community that is supportive and (whose members are) concerned about one another,” Smith said.

Through informal discussions, the Religious Leaders of West Windsor saw the need for events that are supportive of families, Smith said. The group decided to approach West Windsor Township officials, and learned that the township was considering holding a family-friendly event.

And although the faith leaders have played an integral role in creating Community Day, Smith emphasized that the religious community is not intent on proselytizing. That is not the purpose of Community Day, he said.

“We want to live in a community that is supportive and united in promoting the well-being of West Windsor Township,” Smith said.

Approved ordinances assure a future of fatter paychecks

By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Plainsboro Township municipal employees can expect their paychecks to be a little fatter, thanks to salary ordinances approved by Plainsboro Township Committee.

The Township Committee signed off two ordinances one for union employees and one for non-union employees - that grant 2-percent pay hikes annually for 2017, 2018 and 2019 at its April 12 meeting.

The mayor and township committee also are in line for a 2-percent salary increase.

The ordinances set out salary ranges for the union and nonunion employees, but not the

governing body.

Members of the Communications Workers of America Local 1032 union include clerks, bookkeepers, fire prevention and housing inspectors, the park ranger and the senior park ranger positions.

A clerk/typist will earn between $29,396 and $46,012 for 2017; $29,984 and $46,932 for 2018, and $30,584 to $47,871 in 2019.

The fire prevention/housing inspector will earn between $46,859 and $75,484 this year, and between $47,796 and $76,994 in 2018.

In the final year, the salary range is $48,752 to $78,534.

The park ranger’s salary range has been set for $28,579

to $57,838 for 2017, and $29,151 to $58,531 for 2018.

It will be set between $29,734 and $59,701 for 2019.

Among the non-union employees, the Municipal Clerk will be paid $90,964 for 2017.

The top salary for that position is $110,082 for 2017. It climbs to $112,284 for 2018, and $114,530 for 2019.

The superintendent of Public Works will earn $130,995 for 2017, which is less than the maximum salary of $131,934. In 2018, the maximum salary has been set at $134,573, and $136,264 for 2019.

The Township Administrator’s salary for 2016 is $162,180.

The Place at Plainsboro, which is intended to be a fully “affordable” housing development, has gained the Plainsboro Township Planning Board’s approval.

The 100-unit rental apartment community, which is aimed at low- and moderateincome households, is planned for a 30-acre parcel on Dey Road that belonged to Plainsboro Township. The project is being developed by Community Investment Strategies, which is based in Lawrence Township.

The Place at Plainsboro is being built as part of a settle-

ment between Plainsboro Township and the nonprofit Fair Share Housing Center, which sued the township over its lack of affordable housing.

The two sides settled on 683 units as Plainsboro’s fair share, and the development approved by the Planning Board counts toward the figure.

Meanwhile, The Place at Plainsboro will be built in two phases. The first phase consists of 70 affordable units and a residence for the on-site superintendent on a 10-acre parcel that has been subdivided from the 30-acre tract.

The first phase will consist of nine buildings. Eight of the nine buildings will hold eight

Business Plan winners, top, and STEM Talk winners from Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart celebrate during the #LEADLIKEAGIRL conference.

Stuart conference aims to close girl gap in STEM, entrepreneurship Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart, the PS-12 girls independent school in Princeton, recently hosted more than 900 people for a conference for girls K-12, women mentors, parents, and educators.

Presented by The Stuart Center for Girls’ Leadership, #LEADLIKEAGIRL: A Conference for Risk-Takers and Changemakers, was an all-day event featuring 85 speakers at more than 50 presentations, workshops and panels. Young women in high school won $8,000 in cash prizes in STEM Talks and a Business Fair.

There is a significant gender gap in STEM fields of science, technology, engineering and math. The ethical case for gender equality is often cited, but gender inequality has significant ramifications for the economy as well.

According to a recent report by General Electric economists, the lack of women in technology and engineering is holding back the pace at which these sectors can advance. Women make up just 18 percent of computer programmers, and only 14 percent of engineers. This under-representation corresponds to leadership roles as well.

There is also a significant gender gap for women-owned businesses. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, just 36 percent of privately owned businesses are women owned - and these are smaller, less profitable, and more short-

lived than their male-owned counterparts.

For more than 50 years, Stuart has prepared young women for lives of leadership.

In today’s global economies leadership requires skills and confidence in the STEM (science, tech, engineering and math) fields and an entrepreneurial spirit. The #LEADLIKEAGIRL conference, which offered programming free to the public, was a natural extension of the school’s innovative STEM, finance/economics, and leadership development curriculum and programs.

“As experts in educating girls, at Stuart we know that it’s crucial to educate young women to know that they are powerful, they can affect change, and their voices are important - particularly in male-dominated arenas,” said Head of School Dr. Patty L. Fagin.

The #LEADLIKEAGIRL Conference was designed to showcase and inspire girls’ confidence, creativity, and leadership in STEM and entrepreneurship. Young women in high school had the opportunity to compete for a total of $8,000 in cash prizes in STEM Talks and Business Fair. The winning students included: First Place Business Plan $2,500: Caitlyn Delaney, a senior at Stuart for The Celerity Smart Ball, a tennis ball with built in Bluetoothâ„¢ technology that calculates, transmits, and records the speed of the ball as it comes

off the racquet.

Second Place Business Plan $1,000: Shreya Kalyan, a sophomore at Stuart for AdLexaRi a geriatric medical app and robot that uses augmented reality to engage and support the health of the aging population.

Third Place Business Plan $500: Catherine Hemming and Annie Kelly from Stone Ridge Sacred Heart School in Bethesda, MD for Coming Full Circle: A Business Proposal that Comes Back Around, creating jewelry pieces from a metal-clay compound and a certain percent of the profit goes to a miningbased charity.

First Place STEM Talk $2,500: Isabelle Engel, a senior at Stuart for The Virtual Reality Chemistry App Development Process Second Place STEM Talk $1,000: Rhea Malhotra, a freshman at Moravian Academy in Allentown, PA for The Selective Regeneration of Dopaminergic Neuronal Stem Cells Third Place STEM Talk and $500: Priyanka Dilip, a junior at Montgomery High School for Fabricating HighEfficiency Organic Field-Effect Transistors.

The conference featured two keynote speakers: Dr. Ellen Stofan, former chief scientist at NASA and Debbie Sterling, founder and CEO of GoldieBlox. Students were able to meet and hear from over 50 expert women mentors including local female entrepreneurs.

Summer jobs for youth available Princeton Human Services is opening up the application process for their its Summer Youth Employment Program.

This year, the program received a $20,000 grant from the Princeton Area Community Foundation’s Greater Mercer Grants program that will greatly help the continuous growth of this program that has existed for 18 years.

The program has been a gateway for youth into the adult world of work and has provided numerous working opportunities to youth in Princeton. In the summer of 2016, SYEP provided jobs to close to 40 students in municipal departments and local nonprofit organizations which included job readiness training, financial coaching and career development.

The award of the grant from the Princeton Community Area Foundation’s Greater Mercer Grants program strengthens the town’s commitment to our youth and the importance of programs like SYEP that are providing meaningful employment opportunities where participants can gain experience and develop skills.

Participants must live in Princeton or attend Princeton High School, must be between the ages of 14-18 and their family income must not exceed 400 percent of the 2016 US federal poverty level. Participants work 25 hours a week and earn minimum wage for 8 weeks during the summer.

Applications will be available in April at the Princeton High School Guidance Office and at the Princeton Human Services Office in Monument Hall. You will also be able to download the application forms online at www.princetonn.gov/humanservices.html.

The application deadline is Friday, May 5, 2017.

If you are interested in participating in this program and have questions, please call Princeton Human Services at (609) 688-2055 between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm or send an e-mail to eneira@princetonnj.gov.

find a replacement for Lawrence Township Municipal Manager Richard Krawczun ended in the township’s back yard with the appointment of Lawrence Township Municipal Court Judge Kevin Nerwinski to the top job.

Lawrence Township Council voted unanimously to appoint Nerwinski to the top administrative post Tuesday night. Nerwinski, who will earn $164,000, will take over as municipal manager on May 1. Nerwinski resigned as Municipal Court judge at the meeting.

Nerwinski grew up in Lawrence Township and graduated from Notre Dame High School and Rider University. He earned his law

degree from Temple University’s law school.

Nerwinski practiced law with the Lawrence Township-based law firm of Nerwinski, Dember and Fox. He served as the municipal attorney for Township Council from 2002 to 2011, when he was appointed Municipal Court judge.

The Tuesday night meeting also marked Krawczun’s last Township Council meeting as the municipal manager. He is retiring April 30 after 12 years in the job. He succeeded former Municipal Manager William Guhl, who retired in 2005. Krawczun began work in Lawrence Township in 1994.

Mayor David Maffei and Township Council praised Krawczun for his service and for his commitment to the township. They pre-

sented him with a plaque, a plate and a commemorative Lenox cup with the township municipal seal.

After the meeting, Mayor Maffei said 28 applicants had applied to fill the municipal manager’s position. Township Council winnowed the list down to eight candidates, and then settled on three finalists.

While each Township Council member had his or her own reasons for choosing Nerwinski, Mayor Maffei said he said he believed that the person who took the job should have had some experience with Lawrence Township.

The mayor noted that Nerwinski served as the municipal attorney and advised Township Council on legal matters under former Municipal Manager William Guhl and with Krawczun.

Man charged in two-vehicle crash that injured both drivers

By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

A Lawrenceville man was charged with driving while intoxicated after his car struck another vehicle on County Route 601 (The Great Road), injuring both drivers and shutting down the roadway for about 90 minutes April 8, according to the Montgomery Township Police Department.

The accident occurred around 2:30 p.m. when a northbound 2007 Scion, driven by Ernesto Layton, 42, of Lawrenceville, crossed into the southbound lane and struck a 2010 Jeep driven by George Schofield

Jr., 85, of Martinsville.

Layton was trying to turn in to a driveway off Route 601 when his car entered the southbound lane and struck the Jeep, which was traveling south, police said. The impact caused the Jeep to overturn and land on its side, while the Scion landed against the iron fence that surrounds the Blawenburg cemetery.

Schofield was helped out of his overturned Jeep by witnesses. He suffered a cut to his head, and was taken to the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro for treatment.

Layton, however, could not be found. Witnesses told police that they saw him

leave the scene of the accident. Police located him a short time later and took him back to the accident scene. He was also taken to the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro after he complained of pain.

During the investigation, police determined that Layton had been drinking. He was charged with driving while intoxicated, driving while his license was suspended, being an unlicensed driver, failure to maintain lane, leaving the scene of an accident, failure to report an accident and having an open container of alcohol in a motor vehicle, police said.

Seminary Continued from Page Barnes’ words, the Charlotte Rachel Wilson campus, home to dorms in West Windsor, and the Witherspoon apartments, in

Princeton. He wrote the seminary would keep its “Tennent-Roberts campus, in order to finance other campus improvements” and reduce the amount taken from the endowment for op-

erating expenses.

West Windsor Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh could not be reached for comment Monday.

Today, the seminary, home to 562 students, also

ued. Overall, Nassau Hall has more than 400 acres in West Windsor, with the bulk of it, some 380 acres, on the southbound side of Route 1.

The university said in news release Monday that “academic classrooms” and undergraduate dorms still would remain on the Princeton side of Lake Carnegie.

But for the property in West Windsor, “It is expected that the lands will support a variety of activities related to the university’s academic programs, innovation initiatives and administrative needs, along with athletic and recreational uses, housing of various kinds (including housing for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers) and parking.”

The bridge would go over the lake as well as the Delaware and Raritan Canal, someplace between Washington Road and Harrison Street, although there is not yet a precise spot for the crossing, the university said.

of our workforce,” he wrote.

“We believe that downsizing would be accomplished over the next several years through normal attrition and by reconfiguring jobs to support the mission more faith-

fully. In other words, extensive layoffs are not part of this plan.”

Barnes wrote the seminary’s trustees want to rely less on the endowment to operate the seminary each year.

is considering shrinking “the size of the student body by 30 percent to 40 percent for a period of eight to 10 years,” Barnes wrote.

“This proposal will also have implications for the size

“I like what I see so far.

I love the idea of the footbridge over Lake Carnegie.

I’m looking forward to hearing more about the rest of the plan,” Princeton Council President Jenny Crumiller said by email.

The proposals are part of the long-range planning the university is doing to map out the growth of its campus. That “framework” document is expected to be done in the fall.

But anytime the university increases its presence in the community, there is room for controversy. When the university last embarked on campus growth, it involved moving the Dinky shuttle train farther away from the center of Princeton - a sore spot for many still.

To get feedback, the university plans to present what it released this week to municipal officials in West Windsor and Princeton.

West Windsor Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh could not be reached for comment Monday. The incumbent mayor is leaving office at

the end of 2017 after 16 years in office, with a university employee, Yan Mei Wang, running to replace him.

Princeton officials said this week they are looking to schedule a meeting with the university, sometime in May. As for the residential college, the university is planning to phase in the expansion of its undergraduate body by a total of 500 students.

The school said that should it need to expand again, there is land near Butler, Wilson and Whitman colleges that could accommodate another residential college.

In addition, the university is looking to provide additional space for engineering and environmental studies, “along the north side of Ivy Lane and Western Way” in Princeton, the university said. The land area is mostly used for parking, although it does include faculty and staff apartments, the school said.

include recommendations, but will not provide “all the answers.” The study also will explore the needs of rail commuters, pedestrians, bicyclists and neighborhoods adjacent to downtown.

The town is seeking input through an online survey, at www.surveymonkey.com.

Members of the public have a month to weigh in.

For those who attended Wednesday’s session in Monument Hall, they had some ideas. “More 24 hours resident parking,” someone wrote anonymously on a sticky note posted on the wall inside the former Borough Council meeting room.

Members of the public were able to identify what their priorities are; protecting residential neighborhoods was at the top of the list.

Resident Kate Warren, who is active in the community, said the town should require that anytime there is major event, like the upcoming Communiversity street fair, there should be satellite parking and people be bussed in to the event.

Businesses also have their concerns.

Peter Madison, a property manager for 20 Nassau St., said two-hour on street parking needed to be an hour longer. He said tenants have lost customers who won’t come back because they got a parking ticket. Madison, a former member of the municipal planning board, also pointed to the lack of employee parking.

Local architect Josh Zinder said he felt the town needed another parking deck, in the area by the Blue Point Grille on Nassau Street. He suggested the lot

RECESSION WORRIES Receding gums, known as “gingival recession,” is a common condition that occurs when the gum tissue that normally surrounds the tooth pulls back and exposes the tooth root. If the recession goes untreated and becomes severe, there is increased risk that the exposed tooth root will become decayed and/or infected. If gum recession is caused by physical wear of the gums by vigorous brushing or the use of a toothbrush with hard bristles, the dentist will recommend a softer brush and better brushing technique. If gum disease is at the root of the problem, the dentist will work to remove built-up plaque and tartar accumulations. Toothcolored composite resins may also be recommended to cover exposed root surfaces.

Taking care of your teeth and gums is vital to maintaining a beautiful smile and staying healthy for life. If you are only

mildly affected by receding gums, that’s good! If you catch it early, you may not require professional treatment to fix it. Your dentist will help you identify the cause and will instruct you in how to address it. To schedule an appointment, please call 609-924-8300. Our office is conveniently located at Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman. Our commitment is to relationships of partnership, respect, and appreciation. We offer cosmetic and family dentistry, as well as Zoom® and Invisalign®.

Please e-mail your questions or comments to: drjamescally@yahoo.com

P.S. Age is a leading risk factor for gum recession, with 88 percent of people over the age of 65 having receding gums in at least one tooth.

behind the firehouse on Chestnut Street as a possible location, in a move that would take a lot of stress off the tree streets neighborhood.

Ultimately, it will be up to the Princeton Council to make policy decisions on those and other parking-related issues. For instance, officials have to decide what to do with a parking lot on Franklin Avenue that Princeton University is giving the municipality. An unanswered question, at this point, is whether to use it for parking or to convert it into the site for housing.

For her part, Mayor Liz Lempert did not return phone calls seeking comment.

Yet there are competing interests. Bike advocates want to see the town create a network of bike lanes in town, a move that likely would require the elimination of on-street parking in some areas. That could have implications for Witherspoon and Harrison streets and Hamilton Avenue/Wiggins Street.

Council candidate David Cohen, who is running unopposed and will sit on the governing body starting in January, was at Wednesday’s public session. He counts himself as a bike advocate.

He said that in cases where streets are critical to the town’s bike master plan, on-street parking should take a “back seat” to safe bike lanes.

STROKE A healthy brain depends on a healthy blood supply. If that blood supply is suddenly interrupted or if it becomes blocked, the results can be devastating. The loss of blood to the brain can result in a stroke. There are two basic types of strokes, and both can be potentially fatal. Around 75 percent of all strokes are the result of a blood clot that occurs near the brain. This type of stroke, called ischemic stroke, includes TIAs, or mini strokes. The other basic kind of stroke is caused by bleeding in the brain, which happens when a brain aneurysm becomes ruptured or a blood vessel inside of the brain tears and begins to leak.

Acting fast can make a big difference for someone who having a stroke. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke emphasizes that getting emergency help within an hour can prevent long-term disability or death. It’s important to follow through with treatment after a stroke. Risk for another stroke increases after having one.

uring the summer of 1967, music producer Jeff Katz had gone to a swim club to hear a band he hoped to sign to a record deal. He had gotten his hands on a demo the group had cut that contained four original songs, and Katz liked what he heard.

Katz and Jerry Kasenetz were partners in a production company called Super K Productions, under the auspices of Buddha Records. Negotiations between Katz and the band went back and forth for a few months. By October 1967, the group had signed with Super K Productions/Buddha Records.

“Probably a month later, in November, Katz said, ‘I’ve got this song I want you to record.’ And he played it for us,” says Frank Jeckell, whose band Jeckell and The Hydes had formed in New Jersey in 1966 and whose members would form the nucleus of the new band. “We said, ‘Well, that’s nice, but it wasn’t what our deal was. We were going to record our original material and move forward with that. That’s what you agreed to, right?’”

Katz brushed off the concern.

“He goes, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I think this is a hit. Can you guys take it and see what you can do with it?’” Jeckell says. “We had a little powwow, and the unanimous decision was that this song was a piece of crap, we want nothing to do with it and we’re not gonna touch it.”

At the time, the band members were mostly all teenagers, with Jeckell being the oldest at 21. The others included Mark Gutkowski, Floyd Marcus, Pat Karwan and Steve Mortkowitz, all from Linden.

As the oldest band member, though, Jeckell was the de facto voice of reason within the group.

“I said, ‘Listen, yeah, you’re right, this is crap,’” Jeckell says. “‘We don’t want to play this kind of music.

It’s stupid and it’s dumb. But if this is what they want us to do, what the hell, let’s just see what we can do with it and get it over with.’”

So the band put together its version and it didn’t sound any better than the original demo tape that Katz had given them to listen to.

“It was still a piece of crap and it wasn’t going to go anywhere,” Jeckell says.

But then he had an idea: Why not give the song a “Wooly Bully” feel?

“Wooly Bully” was a single from an album of the same name by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs that sold 3 million copies and reached No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart a few years earlier in June 1965.

So that’s what the band did. It gave a “Wooly Bully” feel to the song that Katz was certain was going to be a hit. And then the band members took it to Katz for a listen.

“Jeff jumped out of his chair and yelled, ‘That’s it!’

And in December, we recorded it,” Jeckell says.

As it turned out, Katz was right. By January 1968, the single “Simon Says,” by his new band, the 1910 Fruitgum Company, went to No. 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and got as high as No. 2 on the charts in both the United Kingdom and Australia.

Not only that, but the song is often cited as one of the songs that helped establish what was to be known as the “bubblegum pop” genre of music.

The 1910 Fruitgum Company (“Simon Says” and “1, 2, 3 Redlight”), with original member Jeckell on guitar, will be on the bill for the Spring Sixties Spectacular show, April 29 at the State Theatre in New Brunswick.

The show will also feature other hitmakers from the 1960s, including Peter Noone, original lead singer for Herman’s Hermits (“Mrs. Brown You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter” and “I’m Henry VIII, I Am”); B.J. Thomas (“Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head” and “Rock and

Roll Lullaby”); and Dennis Tufano, original lead singer of the Buckinghams (“Kind of a Drag” and “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy”).

It’s been just more than 50 years since the Chicagobased Buckinghams had their first and only No. 1 hit single, “Kind of a Drag,” written by fellow Chicagoan Jim Holvay and released by the Buckinghams in December 1966. The song reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in February 1967 and eventually sold more than 1 million copies.

“We were doing covers at the time and we immediately connected with the song because we were excited that we had original material to do,” says Tufano, who will be backed by the 1910 Fruitgum Company for this show. “The songs Jim Holvay was writing for his band, the Mob, at the time were more R&B flavored.

But he felt this song wouldn’t lay into his band the best, so he was very happy to give us a try and see what we could do with it.”

It turned out to be a big year for the Buckinghams after the success of “Kind of a Drag.” Throughout the rest of 1967, the band had four more Top 20 singles, including “Don’t You Care” at No. 6, “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy” at No. 5, “Hey Baby (They’re Playing Our Song)” at No. 12 and “Susan” at No 11.

And according to Tufano, those songs still resonate with audiences today and he never tires of singing them.

“I’m grateful for the songs we had,” he says. “We couldn’t have had better material to go out there and play. I can still sing these songs from my heart with real emotion and meaning.

“But the fact is, the energy that the audience gives

you, because what they bring to the songs, is amazing history. And that’s what I love,” he said. “When I grab the microphone now, I’m 19 again.”

’80s Star Has a New Role Actor Andrew McCarthy will discuss his first YA novel at Barnes & Noble

M

illions of people remember Andrew McCarthy from his performances in ‘80s favorites such as “St. Elmo’s Fire,” “Pretty in Pink” and “Weekend at Bernie’s,” but in addition to his movie roles, McCarthy has also found success on Broadway, as a TV director and more recently as a writer.

In 2012, his travel memoir, “The Longest Way Home,” became a New York Times best seller and was named as one of the best books of the year by the Financial Times of London. He’s also served as guest editor for the prestigious Best American Travel series and is an editor-at-large at “National Geographic Traveler.”

Last month, McCarthy released his first novel, “Just Fly Away,” a young-adult thriller that is written from the perspective of a 15-year-old girl named Lucy.

“I had been writing a different book; I spent seven to eight years writing about a man who had a child out of wedlock and kept the secret from his family, and my favorite character was always the 15-year-old daughter,” McCarthy says. “One day, I decided to change the perspective of it and started writing the story from her point of view, and I became an accidental YA author.”

On April 25, McCarthy will be discussing his book at a reading and book signing at the Barnes & Noble at MarketFair in West Windsor.

Although he has young kids of his own, McCarthy doesn’t have any teens. Once he started writing the story, he says, he heard the voice clearly and followed where it led.

“When I finished, I gave the book to my 15-year-old neighbor and asked her to read it, and she said it sounded just like her and her friends, so that was a relief,” he says.

ing footsteps. His daughter Willow recently played the title role of Matilda on Broadway and his son, Sam, is currently filming the movie, “All These Small Moments,” where McCarthy’s former co-star Molly Ringwald will be playing his son’s mom.

Although he himself has been concentrating more on directing over the last decade, including episodes of “Blacklist” and “Orange is the New Black,” last year he did get back into acting to take on the role of a troubled sex offender in ABC’s short-lived drama, “The Family.”

“I hadn’t acted in a number of years before that and I Andrew McCarthy’s “Just Fly Away” is about a really loved it,” he says. “I forgot how much I really en15-year-old girl who discovers a secret about joyed acting so it was nice that I got to do it again.

FAMILY FUN

By Keith Loria

Stories and Songs for Kids Laurie Berkner will read her new book at Barnes & Noble, and sing at McCarter Theatre

L

aurie Berkner has been a pioneer in children’s music over the last 20 years, responsible for such family favorites as “Bumblebee (Buzz Buzz),” “Victor Vito” and “Pig on Her Head.”

In addition to being a children’s music superstar, Berkner is also an author, having penned three picture books that will be released by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers over the next two years.

The first, “We Are the Dinosaurs” was recently released to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the release of her beloved “We Are the Dinosaurs“ song on her very first album.

“When I’m writing a song, I’m thinking about whether the kids will like it and whether I’m going to connect to them through it,” says Berkner, who grew up in Princeton. “I’m also thinking about whether I want to sing it over and over again, so I guess that’s the part that connects with adults. ‘Old MacDonald Had A Farm’ is a great song for kids, but I couldn’t sing it 100 times!”

On April 28, Berkner will be at Barnes & Noble in MarketFair, beginning at 6 p.m., to read her “We Are the Dinosaurs” book aloud, sing some favorite tunes and sign books at a meet-and-greet for fans.

The next day, she will perform two concerts at McCarter Theatre in Princeton. The first will be at 11 a.m., and will be a relaxed performance, and then a show at 3 p.m.

“On Friday, I’ll be doing a couple of songs and reading the book, and playing ‘We Are the Dinosaurs.’” Berkner says.

“On Saturday morning, it’s a solo show, relaxed and sensory-friendly, and this will be my first time doing that. It’s about making the space friendly for kids who may find a normal concert a bit overwhelming.”

For the later show on Saturday, Berkner will be appearing with her full band (Susie Lampert on keyboards, Brady Rymer on bass and Bob Golden on drums and percussion) and performing a selection of her top

Laurie Berkner grew up in Princeton and is returning to the area for two concerts at McCarter Theatre, including a sensory-friendly show, April 29. The kids music star also will talk about her book, “We Are the Dinosaurs” at Barnes & Noble at MarketFair, April 22. songs — mostly greatest hits and superhero songs. At both performances, audience members can expect lots of interaction.

“All of my songs are interactive in some way, whether it’s hand motions or dancing or jumping or singing, there’s always something for kids to do and they don’t have to just sit in their seats,” she says. “I’ll be playing with my band and the main thing I ask is that if kids want, they can bring a stuffed animal to put on their heads for my song, ‘Pig on Her Head.’ It’s always fun to look out and sing about the different animals I see the kids have brought.”

A former preschool music teacher by day and indie rocker by night, Berkner first

began selling her music nearly two decades ago out of her living room on her own label, Two Tomatoes Records.

“I was a music specialist, which means I would go in as a freelancer and do music in preschools and daycare centers, and I struggled to find music that I could use in the classroom that made sense and gave them guidelines on how to use their bodies safely and also have fun,” she says. “One day I came in and asked the kids what they wanted to sing about. One kid yelled out ‘dinosaurs’ and I made up a song over the course of the next couple of classes.”

That led to her recording an album, and her career really started to take off. At the

time, she was working in an all-female cover band at night, but eventually doing both was too much to handle and she decided to concentrate on children’s music exclusively.

“The kids would yell out names of songs I had written, as opposed to people in a bar yelling ‘Free Bird’ every break,” Berkner said. “I realized it was much more fun, I was getting paid more, the hours were better and I got to write my own music.”

Eventually, Berkner’s music started appearing on TV, with regular play on Nick Jr., in music videos played between programs and on the program “Jack’s Big Music Show.” In 2013, her short-form animated series, “Sing It, Laurie!” debuted on 24-hour preschool television channe Sprout. That show features original music written for the series.

“I’ve been continually on television since about 2005,” she says. “I’m working on a new musical right now, which will be coming out in November. It’s called ‘Interstellar Cinderella,’ and it will be the third musical I have done with the New York City Children’s Theater.”

She also has a new album of remixed songs coming out this year and has developed a teacher training program based around her music and traditional songs.

Laurie Berkner will perform two concerts at McCarter Theatre, 91 University Place Princeton, April 29. A solo acoustic, sen sory-friendly concert will begin at 11 a.m. and a concert with her full band will begin at 3 p.m. For tickets and information, go to www.mccarter.org or call 609-258-2787.

Berkner will read her book, “We Are the Di nosaurs” and sing songs during an ap pearance at Barnes & Noble in MarketFair 3535 Route 1 South, West Windsor, April 22 11 a.m. For more information, go to stores.barnesandnoble.com/store/2368 or call 609-750-9010.

THINGS TO DO

Laptop Orchestra’s Anniversary Concert

On May 3 at 8 p.m. in Taplin Auditorium in Fine Hall on the Princeton University Campus, the Princeton Laptop Orchestra will present “PLOrk[10]: Tenth Anniversary Show”, featuring guest artists HPrizm, Iarla O Lionaird, and members of So Percussion (Princeton University Edward T. Cone Artists in Residence).

HPrizm is a rapper/producer, also known as High Priest and a founding member of the Antipop Consortium collective. Lionaird is an Irish singer and producer.

This special celebratory program, performed on elec-

tronic and acoustic instruments, will include an arrangement of a pop tune from Zimbabwe, a group-composed piece inspired by a space-themed poem written by Tracy K. Smith, and an unusual work that turns the performers into an interconnected “brain,” using a computational model of a giant squid axon as an instrument. This celebration invites the community to experience the sounds and sights of neurons firing, lasers spinning, stars glimmering, and voices transforming.

Admission is free and open to all; no tickets required.

The group is directed by composer and instrument designer Jeff Snyder, and features new electronic instruments that arise from his research. Over the past 11 years, PLOrk has performed widely — presented by Carnegie Hall, the Northwestern Spring Festival in Chicago, the American Academy of Sciences in DC, the Kitchen (NYC), the 92Y and others — and has inspired the formation of laptop orchestras across the world, from Oslo to Bangkok.

Princeton Summer Theater Season

Princeton Summer Theater has announced its 2017 season, which will run June 22 through Aug. 17.

This summer’s season explores the interplay between the past and the present. The four selections reflect the challenges posed to us today by a society that is divided over whether it is better to look to the past for inspiration or to move in the direction of future progress. The characters in each play demonstrate vastly different ways of dealing with their individual histories, and are made stronger by facing this adversity.

The season will begin with “Pippen,” running June 22 through July 9. Featuring music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and book by Roger O. Hirson, this Tony Award-

winning musical is a mystical coming of age tale of adventure. A mysterious troupe, spearheaded by the enigmatic Leading Player, follows a young prince as he sets out to discover his purpose in the world.

The summer will get mysterious when Princeton Summer Theater presents Agatha Christie’s “Spider’s Web,” July 13-23. Christie’s play follows eccentric socialite Clarissa, who discovers a man murdered in her drawing room after years of spinning extraordinary tales of mystery to anyone who would listen.

Next up will be Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible,” July 27 through Aug. 6. The play uses the proceedings of the Salem witch trials to examine the manic effects of mass hysteria

in society. As an increasing number of upstanding townspeople are accused of witchcraft, The fourth, and final, production of the season will be “Appropriate” by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Aug. 10-20. In this play, members of the fragmented Lafayette family reconnect to settle their father’s affairs, but soon discover that they must first tackle their unresolved issues with each other.

Performances are Thurs.-Fri. 8 p.m., Sat. 2 p.m., 8 p.m. and Sun. 2 p.m. The season also will include a family show to be announced, which will run July 6-29.

IN THE KITCHEN

The joy of Facebook cuisine Our food columnist went online to find some delicious recipes I know the phrase “Facebook cuisine” may seem like some sort of oxymoron, but ever since I “got busy” on Facebook early last year, I’ve tried several recipes I’ve found there. I don’t count the recipes posted by traditional cooking sites that represent established magazine and network shows, but more the recipes from internet sites like delish.com that post videos, and from relatively unknown blogs.

A discerning eye comes in handy here. When only a fast-action video is posted, sometimes without a link to a written recipe, you have to strain to catch the ingredients and measurements, much less the directions. These videos tend to have strange ingredient combinations, oddball measurements, painful amounts of sweeteners, etc. Or they gloss over instructions that may not work so well in practice. (I have a good eye for that kind of thing, thanks to years of “interpreting” recipes for my In The Kitchen columns.)

But if you can winnow those out, there are some good dishes to be discovered, like the Balsamic Glazed Chicken below, now one of my go-to one-dish dinners. I also found a simple idea for quick baked potatoes that I couldn’t help trying, where you halve white or sweet potatoes and plant them face down on a baking sheet prepped with melted butter, grated Parmesan, and seasonings like garlic, salt, and pepper. Pop into a 400 degree oven for about 45 minutes, let sit undisturbed for a good 5 minutes once out of the oven (so cheese adheres), and then flip and enjoy. Especially good drizzled with a little ranch dressing.= Maybe too virtuous for me are the individual servings of The Perfect Bite Sized Breakfast from buzzfeed.com. You distribute spinach leaves, chopped tomatoes, and egg whites among oiled muffin cups and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, or until whites are set. I’d probably use whole eggs and/or add a sprinkling of cheese. The website’s Roasted Veggie Salad with Avocado Dressing sounds very nutritious too.

There are also sweet treats galore on Facebook, and someday I may try the slow-cooker Bananas Foster or the French Toast (made without sweeteners, actually) found at cooktopcove.com. I’m also sorely tempted by the To Die For Carrot Cake at momontimeout.com, with its addition of pineapple. It uses applesauce in place of oil.

Some dessert recipes sound too sweet, even for me, although I was tempted by the Apple Dapple Cake at southernplate.com. But that’s not true of the Caramel Cheesecake Dip from snappygourmet.com, which recommends real, unsweetened whipped cream.

And then there are the things that Facebook friends post, that send me racing to the market and kitchen. I

From pan to plate, Balsamic Glazed Chicken, made from a recipe on delish.com. didn’t even know what a Take 5 candy bar was until Take 5 Brownies came along. (Hat tip to Jenny Hartin of The Cook Book Junkies and EatYourBooks.com.) The Take 5 bar, a combination of chocolate, caramel, peanuts, peanut butter and pretzels, has apparently been the inspiration for countless brownie recipes. Some contain the actual candy bar, others mimic the ingredients in it.

I checked out several versions online, then decided to go my own (lazy) route, using a favorite brownie mix, Ghirardelli’s Double Chocolate (or whip up your own from scratch). I bury mini Take 5 bars in the batter, and scatter peanuts and maybe some mini pretzel squares on top, before baking according to package or brownie recipe directions. The sweetness is balanced by the salty in these treats, and the crunch-factor is perfect.

Oh my!

Balsamic Glazed Chicken Adapted from delish.com. Next time I might slip some shallots or

wedges of onion among the potatoes, too. — F.B. 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar 2 tablespoons honey 1 ½ tablespoons whole-grain mustard 3 cloves garlic, minced kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (use boneless-skinless if you must, but don’t overcook) 2 cups baby red potatoes, halved (quartered if large, no larger than 1inch chunks) 1 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 3-4 rosemary sprigs, for skillet Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, combine vinegar, honey, mustard, and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Whisk until combined. Add chicken thighs and toss until fully coated, then transfer to the fridge to marinate at least 20 minutes and up to 1 hour. (Mine were mari-

nated closer to 3 hours.)

Meanwhile, toss potatoes in a medium bowl with chopped rosemary and 1 tablespoon olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

In a large oven-proof skillet, over medium-high heat, heat remaining tablespoon oil. Add chicken (reserve marinade) and sear, skin side down, 2 minutes, then flip and sear 2 minutes more. Add reserved marinade and bring to simmer; turn off heat, and then add potatoes to the skillet, nestling them between chicken, and rosemary sprigs.

Transfer to oven and bake until potatoes are tender, and chicken is cooked through, 20 minutes. If potatoes need longer to cook, transfer chicken to a platter to rest and continue cooking potatoes until tender. (I did gently turn over potatoes about halfway through to encourage browning.) Serve chicken and potatoes with pan drippings.

Affordable education is a beast of a challenge While the 60 audience members were feasting on food for thought and popcorn, the discussion taking place at Princeton’s Garden Theatre April 12 was focused on starvation — particularly state-government fiscal starvation of public higher education institutions. The Trenton-based New Jersey Association of State Colleges and Universities (NJASCU) hosted a free screening of the documentary “Starving the Beast,” with a postscreening discussion led by Pennington resident Michael Klein, the CEO of NJASCU. The film conveys, through a series of interviews with academics, administrators, and governing board officials some fierce and destructive political and philosophical battles being waged at public higher education institutions in Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, and North Carolina.

Dr. Klein — aided by a PowerPoint presentation and two decades of policy research and advocacy experience in the higher education arena — presented data about New Jersey’s public institutional financial challenges, relative to the situations described in the film. He noted that over the 25-year period from 1991 to 2016, state-operating appropriations to New Jersey’s state colleges and universities

decreased by more than $8.4 million.

Across all of New Jersey’s public institutions of higher education, per-student funding dropped nearly 40 percent over the same time fame as enrollment at public institutions increased by more than 100,500 students, about 58 percent.

My first reaction to the film was a greater appreciation for how good things are in New Jersey — yes, shockingly good, despite the reduction of direct state aid. New Jersey’s public higher education institutions are renowned throughout the world for high-quality and diverse academic offerings, excellent graduation rates, and consistently modest tuition increases. Even though tuition is relatively high (as is New Jersey’s cost of living), the education is affordable, because state aid and grants are among the highest in the nation. Also, the facilities at the institutions have been substantially improved thanks to the voter approval in 2012 of a $750 million bond act — the first statebacked financing for higher education facilities in New Jersey since 1988.

Is this excellence sustainable considering the dwindling state operating support? I work for Dr. Klein, known to me as Mike, whom I first met when he was a student at Princeton University, class of 1987. Only after I

watched “Starving the Beast” — presenting some apocalyptic scenarios for the future of public higher education — did I ask him: “Now what? Is there any hope?”

“The state colleges and universities for the past two years have been flat-funded, and considering the fiscal challenges facing the state, I do not think the colleges and universities can count on increased operational support,” Mike said. “But I do see some ways that the state can help sustain the health of our public higher education institutions without further burdening taxpayers or increasing student tuition and fees.”

Those include: • Restore the public-private partnership program that, because of a political logjam, expired in August 2016.

The program had financed enormously successful redevelopment projects at our public institutions, most locally, Campus Town at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), a privately financed, mixed-use development on the TCNJ campus.

• Reform the procurement and construction provision of the State College Contracts Law, whose mandates put the state colleges and universities at a considerable disadvantage when doing major construction projects.

• Provide regulatory relief from those statutes and regulations that cost the schools millions of dollars and fail to pass the common-sense benefit test, such as the environmental rule that requires public colleges to obtain special approval to recycle consumer electronics, like computer parts.

Mike also suggested looking to certain states like Washington, which is not mentioned in the film, that have made exceptional progress in keeping the cost of a four-year public college/university education affordable without starving the institutions. In 2015, Washington’s public colleges and universities agreed to cut tuition by up to 20 percent over two years after lawmakers agreed to provide $200 million to make up for the shortfall. The deal aimed to roll back tuition increases over the previous 10 years; some of Washington’s universities had doubled tuition, after state funding fell 20 percent per student after the recession.

After watching “Starving the Beast,” I became hungry for practical — not pie-in-the-sky — solutions to keep colleges healthy and fit, and satisfy the needs of their students and all the residents of the state. NJASCU’s proposed menu of reforms seems like an excellent place to start.

Soul searching for the artist within Rhinold Ponder ‘right-sized’ his law practice in order to pursue his true passion

For Rhinold Ponder, longtime Princeton resident and Princeton University graduate, class of ‘81, art is his soul food. When he paints he is feeding his soul, and his paintings reflect his soul.

It took decades of soul searching, however, before he realized what he needed to do to find the right kind of nourishment. The recipe turned out to be simple. He needed to paint — and paint in two figurative dimensions — aesthetics and social ethics. With support and encouragement from his wife, former Princeton Township Mayor Michele TuckPonder, he made the decision to give up his law practice and devote his life to painting, despite having a daughter about to go to college and a son in fourth grade. In January of 2017, he closed his physical law office and opened a new era of his life.

The impetus for what he called the “right-sizing” of his law practice (he still has a few clients whom he can help remotely) occurred 15 years ago, when Rhinold “retired” from being on non-profit boards, because he loved being on the boards too much. I first met Rhinold when he was working as a busy New Brunswick-based lawyer, while also serving as president of the Crossroads Theatre board, a full-time unpaid job. He led the effort to rescue Crossroads Theatre from bankruptcy. Once the theater was resuscitated, Rhinold decided it was time to rescue himself and retire from all of his boards, in order to pursue painting, an avocation he started in high school in Chicago. Simultaneously learning that his mother had terminal cancer, Rhinold felt more compelled than ever to follow his heart.

“As a teenager, I majored in commercial art, even won a National Hallmark competition,” he said. “When I came to Princeton University (graduating cum laude as a political science major), I did cartooning for some of the student publications. My desire to paint was always lurking in the background. I collected paints with the intention that I would start painting — soon.”

“Soon” became 20 years. Rhinold eventually did unpack those paints, but not until after he and his packed-up paints went on to graduate school for master’s degrees in African American studies and journalism at Boston University and then law school at NYU. After all of his academic successes, he still was unsure about the direction of his career. He liked being creative and helping people and needed a way to apply his law degree to those desires.

It was the dentist who fixed his teeth who also fixed his career ambivalence.

“I was completing an internship at the appellate division in Jersey City and had no idea what to do with my life, until my dentist, Dr. Chester Peterson in New Brunswick, gave me the inspiration,” Rhinold said. “Dr. Peterson (the widower of Burnetta Griggs of the renowned Griggs family of Princeton) suggested that I come to New Brunswick

Rhinold Ponder with Taneshia Nash Laird, the new executive director of the Arts Council of Princeton. to start a law practice that focused on the needs of the lower- and middle-income population. Dr. Peterson had space upstairs in his office building. The concept of a socially responsible law practice really clicked with me,” said Rhinold, who looked forward to helping resource-limited individuals navigate everyday problems as well as entrepreneurial business ventures.

In a no-degrees-of-separation world, Dr. Peterson also fixed Rhinold’s marital status. Dr. Peterson and the Griggs family hired Rhinold as the attorney overseeing the sale of the Griggs property, 26.5 acres of land on State Road in Princeton, to Princeton Township. The purpose of the sale was to create the Griggs Farm housing development, which would feature low, moderate and market rate housing, a project that was so significant for achieving Princeton’s housing goals.

It was a socially responsible use of Rhinold’s legal talents. It also turned out to be a vehicle for Rhinold to meet the woman who would become his wife — Michele Tuck, a purchaser of one the units at Griggs Farm. Thanks to a recommendation from Dr. Peterson, Michele hired Rhinold to be the attorney representing her interests in the purchase

of a Griggs Farm home and then subsequently in the refinancing of the property.

As Rhinold cutback on his socially responsible legal work, he increased his socially responsible voice in society through his artwork and his writing. He started a political and social justice blog Freestateofponder, which is the outgrowth of a Facebook page called Non-Black and White discussion Group. But for the past nine months, much of his time has been spent communicating with images.

He specializes in two categories of work. The bestknown type of Ponder art appeals to the viewer’s sense of aesthetics with an underlying message. “I want to focus on expressions of hope and faith as unifying elements in a diverse society, which I find I best expressed by the human form in motion as in sports, dance, prayer, and play,” he said. His bodies-in-motion artworks are characterized by explosive color and expressionist style.

He works mostly in acrylics but has been experimenting in all sorts of mixed media “My painting techniques are constantly evolving — for me the joy of practice is continual growth and experimentation,” he said.

His experimentation is evident in his second category of artwork as social commentary whose goal is to use art through provocation to break communication barriers regarding race and justice, and how we view one another.

His signature provocative social commentary art project is “The Rise and Fail of the N-Word: Beyond Black and White,” a sociological art project, first exhibited at Princeton University’s Carl Field Center. The art show featured work by 20 artists, 10 from the United States and 10 from other parts of the world. The “rules” were to create a logo using the N-word and make a captivating logo in color, not black-and-white. The results, which Rhinold intends to publish, revealed, “exactly what I suspected. The Americans had problems and felt constrained, where as the nonAmericans were not intimidated by the N-word. The racial dynamic stifled the Americans who could not get beyond the race issue,” he said.

Rhinold’s well-received art show in August, 2016, at the Arts Council of Princeton’s Pop-up studio in the Princeton Shopping Center was titled: “Gotta Believe,” the name of the first painting Rhinold made as an adult, and it was created in honor of his mother.

And I gotta believe that he will succeed, even though his effort to retire from all non-profit boards has failed.

Three years ago, he joined the board of the Arts Council of Princeton, which hosted at the end of March a reception that served to welcome Taneshia Nash Laird as the Arts Council’s new executive director, and to reconnect me with Rhinold Ponder and his soulful art.

WHAT’S IN STORE

Rich Fisher

A pop-up worth popping into Umbrella has set up temporary shop in downtown Princeton

Rejoice Princeton!

Now in its ninth year as one of the most inviting antique/mid-century/modern home furnishing centers in the state, Umbrella Home Décor has set up shop downtown for the next three months.

For those who live to decorate and re-decorate their abode, this is truly a moment to relish.

While the main business is located above the Tomato Factory antique center in Hopewell, Umbrella Home Décor opened a pop-up store April 1 at Judy King Interior at 44 Spring St. in Princeton. Owners (and sisters-in-law) Fay and Linda Sciarra have imported samplings from each of their 10 Hopewell dealers to the pop-up shop, along with merchandise from the acclaimed Olde Good Things, for which Umbrella is the New Jersey distributor.

If you are looking for that truly distinct item to set your home apart from the rest, this is a pop-up worth popping into. Or, even if you just want a little zest in your life, stop by because you never know what you might discover there.

One thing you can be sure of, it will be a pleasant experience.

For one thing, Fay and Linda are as charming as the store is fascinating. They will patiently, intelligently inform and assist every customer to procure what’s right. They consider themselves “purveyors of beautiful things for the home,” and realize that each home needs a different type of beauty.

What really makes the store so cool is its unique, eclectic, well-crafted and reasonably priced inventory.

“You’re going to find one-of-a-kind, beautiful, unexpected items for your home,” Linda said. “It can be accessories, furniture, lighting, art.”

“I would say, ‘Expect the unexpected,’” Fay said. “This is not a mass-produced mall for your furnishings. It’s inspiring, it’s fun, it’s uplifting, it’s higher end and it’s much less expensive. If you were going to buy a George Smith-style sofa new today it would be $12,000, here we have it for $4,500. It’s for the sophisticated buyer, and you’re going to get incredible high style at a really good value.”

She explains that when people visit a home and ask, “Where did you get that farm table, or that amazing lamp, or that beautiful handmade pillow, “the answer is Umbrella.”

The Princeton locaton is scheduled to be open through June at least. A recent pop-up in Frenchtown stayed open for nearly a year.

“There’s always a chance we’d want to stay,” Fay said. “You start to have an emotional connection with your customers. This is a beautiful store and being in downtown Princeton is prime.”

Especially because Princeton is a market Umbrella wants to cover, since the shop reflects the town itself in many ways.

“We just to get our name out there and show what we’re about and tap into people that don’t know about us,” Linda said.

“We’ve had buyers on-line from California, Texas, Chicago, even Saudi Arabia,” Fay added.

“We’re known nationally and we’ve grown every year for eight years but a lot of Princeton people don’t know we’re there. We’re hoping three months here will change that. It’s an amazing town.”

The journey started on a Ferry Boat to Martha’s Vineyard, which is where they first met after coming from different backgrounds.

Fay grew up just outside of Detroit and graduated from the University of Michigan. Wishing to relocate to a big city, she became a TV producer in San Francisco. Proving that love conquers all, she moved East to marry David Sciarra and become a stay-at-home mom. Her own mother, an artist who died just after she got married, suggested Fay try painting to help fill a void as she acclimated to the East Coast.

One thing led to another and Fay became a commercial artist whose work was solid at the now-defunct Go For Baroque in Princeton, as well as in galleries throughout the country. That lasted for 15 years until the economic downturn hit, and her paintings weren’t paying the bills.

As luck would have it, Linda started dating

Umbrella owners Fay and Linda Sciarra in their new pop-up location in Princeton.

David’s brother, Peter. The two women met on a Sciarra family outing to Martha’s Vineyard and became immediate friends. Linda was born and raised in Wildwood Crest and is proud to still call herself a Jersey Shore girl. She and Peter split time between Wildwood and their home in Stockton. After 18 years of teaching special education for Cape May County Special Services, Linda began looking for different work.

Fay, a Lawrenceville resident, was still selling art at the Tomato Factory when space upstairs became available. She approached her sister-in-law, and in 2009 they opened a small landing that has now grown to the entire upper level. They chose the name “Umbrella” because they collected a collaborative group of creative people all under the same ceiling.

Current dealers include Gary Gandelman, Russell Hutsko, Richard Hoffman, Nancy Furey, Susan Weatherley, Maria Gage, Kevin McPheeters, Kathleen Jamieson, Judy King and Sholeh Djahanbani.

“We kind of cover ourselves by picking the best dealers in the area,” Fay said. “They are the best in the greater Princeton area from as far as New Canaan, Connecticut, Far Hills, Lambertville, New Hope and Princeton, of course.

Most of them have been in the business for 20 to 30 years and they continue to come up with amazing things.”

And while the owners may not be attracted to all their dealers’ creations, they understand that one size does not fit all when it comes to decorating.

“We don’t have to personally love every item,” Fay continued. “I don’t want to necessarily live with it in my house but part of the thrill is seeing what these 10 different fabulously creative people come up with. Taste is so subjective, so for us, we didn’t want to put ourselves in a position of judging what is good or bad. Our job is to curate it, not to reject. We need to make sure we’re very transparent and truthful about how old it is and whatever we need to honor the customer — where’s it from, how old it is.”

“And,” Linda added, “to fairly price it and make it look good in the environment.”

Aside from their dealers, the Sciarras are proud to be the Jersey outlet for Olde Good Things, a Scranton, Pennsylvania-based company with four stores in New York City and one in Los Angeles. Olde Good Things hails itself “The Place of the Architecturologists” as it creates unique tables and benches.

“Our clientele like the eclectic, more unusual home furnishings,” said Fay, who sells some of her paintings at Umbrella. “We have a mix of things that have a story behind them. One of the reasons we call ourselves Umbrella Home Décor instead of Umbrella Antiques is we’re not an antique store. We’re like a hip, eclectic, continuously changing combination of old and new.

You’re not going to find a repeat of the look of our store anywhere.”

Thus, they are looking to further establish their own identity closer to home, which led to

the Princeton pop-up. Once nationally renowned interior designer Judy King closed down her Princeton establishment to devote herself to designing rather than designing and selling, she rented it to different businesses. But it had been sitting empty for a while and she approached the Sciarras, who carry the works of Judy’s mother, top designer Kathleen Jamieson, at Umbrella.

In what they term a win-win situation, the women negotiated a price, King got a tenant and the two businesses combined forces. Joanne Palmer, who works for King, has an office in the pop-up. If customers cannot find what they are looking for in the store, the sisters-in-law refer them to Joanne, or other merchants in the field.

“We have a very large rolodex,” Fay said. “If they need an upholsterer, we know upholsterers.

When we get asked to do interior designs, we refer people to Judy. We don’t have connections to get the new couches and window treatments and rugs and paint color. That’s a whole other thing. What we specialize in are the one-of-akind, interesting, antiques and mid-century, gently used high-end brands.”

The main reason for their second pop-up endeavor is to improve Umbrella’s visibility in Princeton and the surrounding areas. The store will become more a part of the local fabric by setting up a booth at CommuniversityArtsFest on April 30.

“A pop-up is a valuable, attractive marketing tool,” Fay said. “It’s like a three-dimensional ad-

vertisement, where people get to really experience what you’re all about. Even though we are at Judy King Interiors — it is her building — we are Umbrella Décor, our logo is on front of the building and our signs are on the front of the sandwich board. This gives us a chance to try out a new location to see how well a store performs here, with very little risk. There is no long-term lease and minimal chance of losing money.”

The pop-up store consists of a front and back room, and the inventory is set up in a way that makes a visitor want to look at darn near everything on the floor. And while Linda is considered the “businesswoman” and Fay the “artist,” both know how to set up a display to make it look pleasing. The two bounce ideas off each other constantly and help decorate each other’s homes.

“We always did antiquing together,” Fay said. “We’re both visual and we both care about the beauty of our own houses so whenever we’d be on vacation together we’d go to the flea market every weekend. Then we’d get together and make our houses look pretty.”

While the store is a sight to behold, a lot of sales come online using the 1stdibs.com website.

But while online shopping is nice for those from distant lands, it would truly behoove local consumers to visit the Umbrella pop-up. Fay and Linda are about people as much as they are about product, and just chatting with them induces a good mood.

“I think we’re just open to the customers,” Linda said. “We listen to them and make suggestions and have gone above and beyond a lot of times for the customers. If we don’t have it we help with what they’re looking for. We want the customer to feel they can come in here and get our full attention and full respect for our product.”

“We love our business, we’re excited and inspired by what we sell and we want other people to get design inspiration,” Fay said. “That’s how you get repeat customers. This is furniture, it’s not somebody coming in and buying an ice cream cone. Someone comes in and they think about the farm table, they measure it, they send us pictures of where it‘s going to go, they want to know ‘Should I do this stain or that?’ We’re of service, we like to help them, it’s part of what we do and it creates relationships.”

It also creates a Mecca for those who wish to be amazed and astounded by home décor. Truly a reason to rejoice!

Umbrella is at 44 Spring St., Princeton.

Be the host with the most Design your home in a way that brings spring entertaining to a new level

By Keith Loria Special Writer

Hosting an evening of entertainment can present an array of challenges. Aside from providing food and drinks, creating an atmosphere of fun and relaxation for your guests sounds easier said than done.

You’ll want to ensure there’s enough room to accommodate your guests and create a look they will not soon forget.

There are a variety of ways to turn your home into everyone’s favorite spot, and one of the best ways is by distinguishing it with some high-end, luxury design.

Deborah Leamann, owner of Deborah Leamann Interior Design in Pennington, says luxury design speaks volumes about home owners.

“In the design arena, they are not interested in following trends or current fashion-forward items, but mainly investing in classic pieces with longevity — art, antiques and acquisitions that appeal to their personal style,” she says. “Why is it a good idea to do things a little unique? I do not believe in cookie-cutter design or following what every other design firm is doing. Having a unique twist to the design keeps interiors from being static and falling short on visual appeal.”

Making some renovations to the home is one way to help make a house really stand out.

For instance, upgrading electrical systems to a Forbes or Lomax switching system and becoming a “smart” house with a Lutron or Crestron system not

only can make you the envy of the neighborhood.

Then of course, you can work on the physical design.

“Investing in art and rugs that have value and can set a tone for the overall design is always a great idea,” Leamann says. “Having luxury baths and kitchens with upgraded appliances and finishes are timeless investments. Radiant heated floors, sound systems, elevators and custom closet designs round out the luxurious lifestyle.”

The kitchen is often a focal point at parties. It is where food and drinks are prepared and meals are shared. Therefore, making sure that your kitchen is prepared is an essential aspect of hosting a party. Size is not a prerequisite for a great entertaining kitchen, although square footage will determine whether you can include features like an island or butler’s pantry.

When it comes to creating the ideal kitchen for parties, one of the most vital aspects is that your kitchen serves as an effective entertaining space.

This is determined through the specialty features that are integrated in the space to enable serving food and drinks to be easy tasks.

The look of your kitchen is the essence to the vibe you want your party to have. A sleek look for your kitchen is recommended. When designing a one-wall, or single-wall kitchen, consider the placement and spacing of the elements of your work triangle: refrigerator, sink and stove/oven.

Whether you’re entertaining indoors or outdoors, the right design can help create an elegant space for you and your guests.

If you’re looking to make a statement on the exterior of your property, be it with a deck or patio, Leamann says natural surfaces are a must.

“Blue stone, brick and field stone add a fabulous dimension and immediately speak luxury,” she says. She also recommends hiring a professional landscaper to enhance your home‘s curb appeal.

Heated pools, hot tubs and fire features along with specialty lighting also can take summertime entertaining to new levels.

Another idea is to invest in a fire pit and your guests will never want to go indoors, even

on chilly nights. Bring out the inner-kids in your guests by ending the night with everyone making their own s’mores. It’s a delicious way to keep the fun going.

Bowden’s Fireside Hearth & Home in Hamilton can help you install a fire pit, and also has a great selection of barbecues and other outdoor living products.

A secluded seating area becomes prime real estate for a fire pit setup. A grouping of weather-resistant chairs should surround any fire feature, and use decorated stones to call attention to the space.

A great addition to a home

that wants to be known as the center for entertainment is a home bar. While these are normally reserved for adults who want to enjoy a cocktail, even in households where alcohol is not consumed regularly, it is nice to have a cozy spot to relax with a cappuccino, fruit

smoothie or herbal tea concoction.

Finally, to help keep guests entertained, adding a pool table, shuffleboard or other game component to the basement or spare room is a great way to keep the fun going all night.

HEALTH MATTERS

Dr. Philippe J. Khouri

Treating major depression with ECT the ‘Brain Defibrillator’

Depression is one of the most common mental health disorders in the United States, affecting more than 16 million adults across the nation, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Often, depressive disorders can be treated with medications, psychotherapy or a combination of the two.

However, in cases of severe depressive disorders not responding to medications, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has proven to be a safe and effective treatment approach that provides rapid relief.

What is ECT? Electroconvulsive therapy is a procedure that causes changes in brain chemistry that can reverse the symptoms in severe depression and other conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder that are not responding to medication.

During ECT small electric currents are sent to the brain through electrodes placed on the surface of the patient’s head. These electrical currents trigger a brief seizure, which helps to release certain chemicals known to improve cellular-level connections within the brain.

Patients are administered general anesthesia prior to ECT and are unaware of the treatment as it is being administered.

Is ECT safe?

Yes. Electroconvulsive therapy is a wellresearched, highly effective procedure during which the patient is closely supervised.

havioral Health, a unit of Princeton HealthCare System, every patient is closely monitored before, during and after the procedure by an anesthesiologist, a nurse certified in advanced cardiac life support, and an ECT psychiatrist.

Not everyone will experience side effects from ECT, but some of the treatment’s more common side effects include: • Headache • Upset stomach • Muscle aches • Short-term memory loss While short-term memory loss has been associated with ECT, research shows that memory problems seem to be more associated with the traditional type of ECT called bilateral ECT, in which the electrodes are placed on both sides of the head.

Today, ECT is being administered unilaterally, which involves applying the electrodes to only the right side of the head — the non-dominant hemisphere for most individuals.

Unilateral ECT has been found to be less likely to cause memory problems, according to the NIH. Additionally, other advancements are significantly minimizing the risk. There is no longer a one-size-fits-all treatment approach. Rather the dose of the electrical stimulus is individualized for each patient.

Further, older ECT equipment delivered a continual current, but today much shorter, brief pulse current frequent is used. While

the procedure takes only minutes, patients cannot drive immediately after and must have someone to drive them home.

Who is a candidate for ECT? Patients with severe, treatment-resistant depression often find relief with ECT. Advances in ECT monitoring have expanded the ability to treat patients with co-existing conditions such as cardiovascular disease and sleep apnea. In addition to checking for signs of memory loss, doctors carefully monitor heart activity, blood pressure, oxygen consumption and other parameters.

What are the benefits of ECT? As the NIH notes, two major advantages of ECT over medication are that ECT begins to work quicker, often starting within the first week, and older adults respond especially quickly.

For many patients, ECT makes a significant difference in terms of coping abilities.

It can relieve anxiety and mood instability, while restoring sleep, appetite, concentration, and the ability to feel and express emotion. In a sense, it is like resetting brain function.

In addition, treatment with ECT can reduce lost work time, the need for hospitalization, the cost of medications and the number of side effects from taking multiple medications or having to take higher doses of medications to achieve symptom relief.

How many treatments are generally given?

Everyone is different and should receive

an individualized course of treatment. Initially, patients usually receive six to 12 treatments administered three days a week.

The number of treatments is determined by the improvement in symptoms.

After the initial treatment course, maintenance treatment may be needed to reduce the chances that symptoms will return. In many cases, patients who undergo ECT will also take antidepressant or a mood stabilizing medication as part of an ongoing treatment plan.

While everyone feels sad or down sometimes, severe depressive disorders have significant biological correlates and are serious medical conditions that require treatment.

If you struggle with severe depression that does not get better with medication and psychotherapy, ECT may help. Talk with your doctor about ECT and whether the treatment approach is right for you.

The top foods for a healthy heart

By Keith Loria Special Writer

Dr. Perry Herman, on staff at Princeton Healthcare System, reminds his patients, “You are what you eat.”

“What you put into your mouth translates into the fuel that is available to your body. Put in another way — food is medicine,” he says. “If we paid more attention to what we ate, then we would have less cardiovascular and other chronic diseases in this country. Diets high in saturated fat and simple sugars are toxic to your heart and entire body. They cause inflammation and ultimately with chronic exposure coronary and arterial vascular disease.”

As an MDVIP-affiliated primary care physician who focuses on measuring risk for chronic

disease, and primarily cardiovascular disease, Princeton-based Dr. Simon Murray works very closely with his patients on exercise, diet and nutrition.

Together with those in his care, he makes a plan that can work 365 days a year where both doctor and patient are accountable for helping to prevent and control heart disease.

“Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death among men and women, and will affect half of all men and one-third of all women over the age of 40,” Dr. Murray says. “More than half of those who suffer from sudden cardiac arrest had no prior symptoms. The good news? An individual’s lifestyle can greatly reduce the chance of developing heart disease and reduce the chance of a survivor having a recurrent event.”

Among his tips for healthy eating are to consume between five and nine servings of fruits

Flemington Subaru Partners with Hunterdon Healthcare in Annual “Subaru Share the Love!”

Campaign Raising Money For Local Foundation Christina O’Malley, Senior VP Hunterdon Healthcare Foundation accepts check from (left to right) Tim Morley, General Manager Flemington Subaru, Charlie Smith, General Manager Flemington Car & Truck Country & David Sammons, President and CEO of Subaru Distributors Corp. representing money raised from 2016-17 Subaru Share The Love Campaign.

F

lemington Subaru, proud member of the Flemington Car and Truck Country Family of Brands, announced today the results of its 2016/2017 Subaru Share the Love Campaign which raised money for national charities as well as a designated “hometown charity.”

Tim Morley, General Manager of Flemington Subaru; Charlie Smith, General Manager of the Flemington Car & Truck Country Family of Brands; and David Sammons, President and CEO of Subaru Distributors Corp. presented a check for $14,628.27 to Christina O’Malley, Senior Vice –President of the Hunterdon Healthcare Foundation (HHF). This check represented the amount contributed to Flemington Subaru’s chosen “hometown charity.”

Beginning November 17, 2016 and running through January 2, 2017, customers who purchased a new Subaru selected from a list of organizations to receive a $250 donation from Subaru of America (SOA) in their name. The ninth-annual Share the Love program allowed customers the opportunity to make donations to four national charities: the ASPCA©, Make-A-Wish©, Meals on Wheels America© and the National Park Foundation. Additionally, customers of Flemington Subaru were given the opportunity to choose Flemington Subaru’s designated local charity, The Hunterdon Healthcare Foundation (HHF). HHF is the fundraising organization for Hunterdon Medical Center and supports the medical center’s mission to provide high quality healthcare for their community.

“We are always happy to support this worthy program and raise money in the name of our long standing community partner, Hunterdon Healthcare Foundation” stated Steve Kalafer, Chairman of Flemington Subaru and the Flemington Car & Truck Country Family of Brands. “At Flemington Car & Truck Country we whole-heartily support the foundation’s mission to provide high quality, cost-effective healthcare for our local community, and welcome the opportunity to validate their cause.”

“We are proud to give back to our local community anyway we can,” added Tim Morley, General Manager at Flemington Subaru. “Subaru’s Share the Love Program falls in line with who we are as an organization. We always look for opportunities to strengthen our community and build a better life for those less fortunate.”

Subaru of America donated more than $23.4 million to national and local charities during its annual “Share The Love” campaign bringing the total donated through the life of the program to more than $94 million.

Conveniently located at 167 Route 31 in Flemington NJ, Flemington Subaru, recipient of the 2017 DealerRater Consumer Satisfaction Award and a Subaru Stellar Performer Dealer, proudly offers for sale and services a full line of New & Certified Pre-Owned Subaru vehicles. The Flemington Car and Truck Country Family of Brands, “Family, Independent… Not Corporate,” is comprised of 16 manufacturer brands and 8 dealership locations on Routes 202 & 31 and is now in its 40th year of operation.

and vegetables daily, limiting alcohol, choosing whole grains, lean proteins (fish, chicken without skin, beans) and low-fat dairy products, and limiting daily salt/sodium intake to around 2,000 mg.

“Research suggests sodium retains fluid, which can increase blood volume thereby increasing blood pressure,” he says. “Read food package nutrition labels for sodium level.

Frozen, processed and fast foods tend to be highest.”

When buying produce, Dr. Murray suggests buying locally grown items, as a lot of fruit and vegetables imported from other countries lose some of their nutritional value by the time they hit the shelves. He adds that frozen produce works because the freezing locks in the nutrients.

The American Heart Association recom-

mends eating fish (particularly fatty fish) at least two times (two servings) a week, especially fish high in omega-3s, such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring and trout.

There are a number of things people can do in their diets to be more healthy. For instance, a handful of nuts such as almonds or walnuts will satisfy your hunger and help your heart. Berries are chock-full of heart-healthy phytonutrients and soluble fiber, so adding blueberries, strawberries, cranberries or raspberries in cereal or yogurt is a smart thing to do.

Flaxseeds contain omega-3 fatty acids, fiber and phytoestogens to boost heart health, and people should take them in ground or milled form to reap the greatest benefit.

Here are some other foods people should

Princeton Symphony Orchestra’s tango in the night Spring gala raised funds for education outreach program in Trenton The Jasna Polana golf club in Princeton was transformed into a milonga (tango club) during Princeton Symphony Orchestra’s gala Under the Stars in Buenos Aires on April 8.

Tango music performed by violin virtuoso Daniel Rowland and PSO musicians, professional tango dancers, and exotic décor evoked a sultry summer night in the city. The evening raised funds for the orchestra and its PSO BRAVO! education programs, particularly for a new initiative to bring the PSO’s music into the Trenton Public Schools.

“Our goal this year was to introduce new elements and a unique look to keep the event fresh and full of energy,” said Stephanie Wedeking, gala chair.

Among the additions were a party board sign-up for a cabaret evening with award-winning clarinetist/composer Derek Bermel, an extended cocktail hour, live-auction glow stick “bid paddles,” new auction items such as a private box at a Billy Joel concert and a special dinner orchestrated by PSO Music Director Rossen Milanov, plus the new theme of tango.

Ms. Wedeking and her gala committee took inspiration from Daniel Rowland’s September 2016 PSO concert performance of Astor Piazzolla’s “Invierno Porteno” movement from the composer’s tango-infused Four Seasons of Buenos Aires. “We were honored and excited that Daniel reprised his stunning performance at the gala. His passionate playing absolutely captivated gala attendees,” Wedeking said.

To complement the music, red,

yellow, and orange flowers lit by amber pin-lights echoed ceiling illumination to create an ambience evocative of an evening in Buenos Aires.

Professional tango dancers circulated among guests for conversation and photos, then performed a tango demonstration before choosing partners to whirl around the dance floor. A tango trio with bandoneón kept the dance floor in constant motion.

This year’s gala included a special PSO BRAVO! Challenge to attendees to participate in a new initiative to bring the Princeton Symphony Orchestra to Trenton public schools in a runout performance of the orchestra’s popular School Day Concert.

“Transporting hundreds of school children from Trenton to Princeton just isn’t feasible for Trenton Public Schools, so the Princeton Symphony Orchestra is being pro-active and bringing the orchestra to Trenton,” said David Tierno, PSO board president emeritus and honorary gala chair.

“Now school children there will be able to experience the joys and inspiration of a live orchestra performance in their own backyard.”

More than 100 PSO BRAVO! performances and events each year engage students at every age level, and are presented free of charge to schools and throughout the community. The PSO relies on fundraising support to bring music to the concert hall and beyond. For more information on PSO BRAVO! and how to contribute to the PSO BRAVO! Trenton initiative, go to www.princetonsymphony.org/education.

Heart Continued from Page 8 consider to help their heart health: • Crisp, fresh broccoli florets dipped in hummus are a terrific hearthealthy snack with a whopping list of nutrients, including vitamins C and E, potassium, folate, calcium and fiber.

• Oatmeal is not only a favorite comfort-food but a nutrient powerhouse.

• Dark beans, such as kidney or black beans, are high in fiber, B-vita-

mins, minerals and other nutrients good for your heart.

• Asparagus is filled with mighty nutrients such as beta-carotene, folate and fiber, and provides just 25 calories per cup, or 5 calories per large spear.

And just because you’re trying to keep your heart healthy doesn’t mean you can’t indulge once in a while.

Dark chocolate is considered good for

your heart health, as long as its at least 70 percent cocoa.

On the other side of the equation, there are plenty of things in people’s diets that are considered to be dangerous for the heart. Soda is one of the worst, as it raises sugar levels and puts stress on your artery walls and increases risk for cardiovascular disease.

Heavily processed meats like hot

dogs, sausage, and most deli cuts tend to be loaded with additives. They’ve also repeatedly been linked to higher rates of heart disease.

Then there’s refined carbs, which tend to be pumped up with sugar and additives, none of which are doing your heart any favors.

Dr. Herman notes that making simple changes in what you eat, how often you exercise and how you man-

age stress can help put the brakes on heart disease.

“My advice, first and foremost, is to eat ‘real food’ throughout the day and phase out needless sugar products and artificially processed junk food,” he says. “Diets high in lean proteins including fish, poultry, small amount of nuts and seeds and low fat diary are cardio protective.”

Q

. What do you see in the future of Real Estate sales and prices?

A. The Real Estate market is steady in Princeton. As with any market, there is a constant movement and fluctuation throughout the year. The Spring Market is always hot but I see growth in re-sale prices and a boom in the demand for new constructions which of course affect the pricing of a neighborhood.

Princeton’s location and vibrant community has allowed the real estate market to stay strong through the years, but the current influx of buyers has definitely raised the demand for homes!
