An open letter to Dor Mullen Editor’s note: Dorothy Mullen, the longtime Princeton resident who founded the Suppers Program, died on March 15, 2020. The board of the healthy eating group she created wrote the following open letter to her commemorating the first anniversary of her death.

D

ear Dor, What a year it’s been. In the year since you passed away, time seems to have stood still, yet so much has changed.

We are eagerly anticipating spring and the new growth, new hope, and new experiences that come along with it. We think of you when we prepare our gardens, make a pot of chili or soup, or share information about eating for your health. We miss the flurry of activity in your kitchen and garden at this time of year.

At Suppers, we’ve been busy designing programs based on the pillars you established: How You Feel is Data, Biological Individuality, Nutritional Harm Reduction, Developing a Taste for Healthy Food, aligning with like-minded medical practitioners and community partners and creating a supportive environment of non-judgement.

We have solidified a new concept called “You Are Your Best Ally In Your Health,” which emphasizes the importance of providing information so people can make decisions for themselves about what they should or should not eat; we are affirming a fundamental principle that people are capable in this process.

Our Commitments to You. We have been running our Suppers meetings virtually — at no charge. No, it’s not the same as cooking and eating together, but there is great pleasure in being in the presence of like-minded and supportive Suppers friends — sharing information, recipes, and ideas.

The “What’s In Your Grocery Cart?” workshop is delivered three times per month, and we are continually looking for new audiences to share this practical yet empowering information. It’s a wonderful first step in learning about the foods you choose.

We recently finished the first virtual Breakfast Challenge — where new people were exposed to a different way of thinking about their first meal of the day — and embracing the Breakfast Chili (or not!). As by your design, the participants had meaningful and transformational experiences — leading to a better understanding of how the foods they eat fuel their body and brain.

The Dorothy Mullen Speaker Series to support the Princeton Public School

Teachers is in the design stages — and we promise to follow your instructions to “set clear but not neurotic guidelines for how the events should be designated.”

Continuously sharing information through our webinar series on subjects ranging from Nutritional Strategies to Prevent Diabetes with our chief medical advisor Adi Benito, Herbs in the Kitchen with Tish Streeten, and Understanding the Biochemistry of Food with professor James Martiney, and many more.

Many of the people whom you’ve attracted to Suppers continue with us, and we have a lot of new interested people as well. And for that, we’re grateful.

We are collaborating with Kim Rizk of Jammin’ Crepes and NOFA-NJ on their “Cooking with Your CSA” series, and Kim Booker is leading us in exploring collaborative relationships within diverse communities. We will restart the search for a Home for Suppers — as we get a better understanding of the needs of Suppers in the new hybrid world of in-person and virtual offerings. Don’t worry, cooking will always be front and center.

On that note, you’d be pleased to know that many people have been doing a LOT more home cooking these days. We have fond memories of cooking and sharing information with you in your garden and in your kitchen.

You made the world a better place, and we are committed to continuing to build the movement to teach people how to Eat for Their Health.

When are the pea shoots coming up?

We see a bowl of cauliflower and pea shoot soup in our future.

We love and miss you.

Covid yields to construction at Princeton U. Art Museum

W

hen the Princeton University Art Museum closed its physical galleries last spring in the midst of a growing pandemic, the length of the closure was contemplated in weeks and months. One year later, with vaccinations on the rise and cases declining, the length of the closure will now be measured in years — for reasons that are good news for the region.

Construction on the long-anticipated new art museum is scheduled to begin this summer, and the current museum will remain closed until it is largely demolished to make way for its replacement. The new museum is expected to open to visitors in 2024.

In a letter emailed to friends of the museum last month, museum director James Steward announced the closure and explained that virtual and in-person programs will continue through other campus venues.

“I write today to confirm your suspicions that COVID-driven closure has now given way to construction-driven closure. The galleries you have known and loved will not reopen; unfortunately, saying farewell to them will also have to be a digital experience,” Steward wrote.

Inside the museum, windows and spaces between the galleries will allow visitors a range of views of the surrounding campus.

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY ART MUSEUM MARCH 4, 2021

“Digital programming will continue — I don’t think we want to put that genie back in the bottle, at least not entirely — but so, as conditions allow, will other activities that put you back into contact with the thing itself, with great works of art. Art@Bainbridge will reopen, public programs will take place across our campus and around our region, and who knows, we might find unexpected spaces in which to make art a vital part of your everyday life,

even during the years of construction.”

Images from the university’s collections will also continue to be shared in storefront windows in Palmer Square and at the Princeton Shopping Center, as seen on the cover of this issue.

Plans for the new museum were given the green light by the Princeton Planning Board at its March 4 meeting.

In his presentation to the planning board, museum director Steward explained that while a new museum has

been decades in the making, the need for a new space has become especially acute in the past 10 years.

“Use of the museum’s collections in university teaching has grown in recent years by over 500 percent,” Steward said. “For over a decade we have been forced to limit the number of school visits we allow due to space constraints. Signature programs now regularly draw as many as 2,000 visitors in a single evening, and over the last decade attendance has more than doubled to over 200,000 visitors a year.”

In addition to human capacity concerns, he added, the current museum does not allow the university to make the best use of its diverse collection. He noted that of its 112,000 pieces, only 2 percent can be on view at any given moment. In addition, the “upstairs/ downstairs” layout of the existing museum unintentionally gave a sense of hierarchy among the styles and cultures represented.

The new building, designed by British architect David Adjaye, will have most gallery spaces on a single level, giving equal prominence to each part of the collection and allowing diverse forms of art to exist in dialog with each other.

The new museum, noted university architect Ron McCoy, is being designed “from the outside in and the inside out.” He explained that the plans emphasize a sense of “porosity,” in which the museum is a seamless part of the campus around it, with entryways on all four sides.

In addition to the Marquand art library, which is the only part of the current structure that will be preserved, the new museum will consist of six gallery pavilions, each elevated above ground to allow campus walkways to pass through the building.

But Steward noted that the new museum is intended to be a space where visitors can not just visit but also can linger. Both educational spaces and visitor amenities are being allocated more than 75 percent more space. Exhibition

elizioso Bakery and Kitchen has added its name to the growing roster of new Princeton eateries set to open despite the lingering pandemic.

The Italian cafe is soon to be open seven days a week at 205 Witherspoon Street — a recently renovated 1910 building known as “Witherspoon Corner” and featuring a mix of commercial space and apartment dwellings.

The Princeton location of the cafe is one of two for co-owners Ralph Guzzo, a baker with 30 years of experience, and Eric Weshner, a long-time police officer in New York; a location in Jersey City is also due to open later this year.

The cafe plans to offer breakfast from 7 to 10:30 a.m. daily with menu items including various eggbased dishes served with artisan bread ($9.95 to $12.95); veggie breakfast tacos served with home fries ($12.95); and pancakes or French toast, each available in plain, nutella, and cannoli flavors ($12.95 for three pieces).

Lunch, served from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., will give diners a choice of open-faced sandwiches ranging from a sweet blueberry and goat cheese combination to tuna or spinach and mozzarella

($10.95 each); as well as traditional turkey, pork, and chicken-based sandwiches ($14.95).

Also available daily will be freshly made chickpea, chopped, mixed-green, and arugula salads ($12.95) as well as pizzas, served by the slice ($5.95) or sixpiece pie ($20). Options include a classic margarita pizza as well as sfincione, served with plum tomatoes, garlic, onions, finely chopped anchovy, breadcrumbs, oregano; and lemon zest, served with prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, and arugula.

Capital Health Welcomes New Neurology Specialists to Capital Institute for Neurosciences

“When patients require expert care for complex neurological conditions such as stroke, aneurysms, and brain and spine trauma, they look to our Capital Institute for Neurosciences,” said Dr. Dustin Rochestie, director of Neurology and Neurocritical Care. “Drs. Patel, Kiviat, Kananeh, and Patel add additional depth and experience to our team, so patients can be confident they’re receiving the most advanced neuroscience care in the region.”

Capital Health Regional Medical Center includes one of the largest dedicated Neuro ICUs in the state to care for the most complex neuroscience patients. DR. MOHAMMED KANANEH is one of the hospital’s fellowship trained neuro critical care physicians who provide intensive care for patients with life threatening conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain or spine injury, brain aneurysms, and other serious neurological disorders.

He was fellowship trained in neurocritical care at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

He completed his neurology residency at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan, where he also completed his internal medicine internship.

DR. PRATIT PATEL joined the team to treat patients requiring endovascular intervention and diagnostics for cerebrovascular conditions like brain aneurysm, stroke, carotid and intracranial stenosis, arteriovenous malformation (AVM), arteriovenous fistula, and subdural hematoma. He is board certified in vascular neurology, neurology and neurosonology (ultrasonic imaging of the brain and other neural structures). Dr. Patel uses minimally invasive neuroendovascular techniques to treat patients accessing the brain’s vascular system using a catheter through the groin area or wrist. After completing his neurology residency at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Dr. Patel was fellowship trained in vascular neurology at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and later completed additional fellowship training in endovascular surgical neuroradiology at Rutgers University in Newark, New Jersey.

Capital Institute for Neurosciences also offers care in the outpatient setting. Neurologist DR. MITEN PATEL, who recently joined the Institute’s Pennington-based practice, is board certified in neurology and fellowship trained in neuromuscular medicine. He received his medical degree at University College London in London, England. He went on to complete further graduate studies at University of Cambridge and conducted research at the Sanger Institute, which culminated in an MPhil degree.

Dr. Patel completed his neurology residency at Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, New York, where he also completed his fellowship training in neuromuscular medicine, with an emphasis on electromyography (EMG). EMG is used to detect neuromuscular abnormalities by measuring electrical activity and muscle response to a nerve’s stimulation of the muscle.

DR. DAVID KIVIAT received his medical degree from the University of Florida, where he also completed his neurology training.

He has treated patients in both inpatient and outpatient settings and has managed care in the neuro ICU, stroke unit, and inpatient neurology service. Dr. Kiviat works with the Capital Health team as a part of its neurohospitalist service, treating patients with a wide range of neurologic disorders and emergencies. Dr. Kiviat is also experienced in neuroradiology, routine and long-term electroencephalograms (EEG) studies, and lumbar punctures.

Capital Institute for Neurosciences provides the most advanced neuroscience care and treatments for conditions such as stroke, aneurysms, vascular malformations, carotid artery disease, cerebrovascular disorders, brain tumors, brain and spine trauma, and complex spine care. Surgical services include neuroendovascular surgery, neurovascular surgery, microsurgery, brain tumor and skull base surgery, as well as advanced spine surgery. Capital Health’s Stroke and Cerebrovascular Center also operates a Mobile Stroke Unit, the first unit of its kind to go live in New Jersey and the Delaware Valley.

Capital Health recently welcomed Dr. Pratit Patel, Dr. Mohammed Kananeh, Dr. David Kiviat and Dr. Miten Patel to its Capital Institute for Neurosciences. The new providers include fellowship trained and board certified specialists who join the Institute in providing the most advanced neuroscience care and treatments to patients in central New Jersey and Lower Bucks County in Pennsylvania.

Capital Health Introduces NEW ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE Capital Health, a regional leader in providing progressive, quality patient care, is now using a new electronic health record (EHR) across its two hospitals’ acute care areas to better serve the community and its patients. The EHR from global health care technology company Cerner Corporation supports doctors, nurses and staff to document and access critical patient information to make treatment decisions, ensure safety and improve the health care experience.

"During this challenging time, we are proud to offer our patients an improved health care experience through the launch of our new EHR,” said Gene Grochala, chief information officer, Capital Health. “Despite the challenges of COVID-19, our staff came together to successfully launch this new technology as part of our commitment to the health and well-being of our patients. We look forward to showing the community the benefits of this new system in simplifying and streamlining our ability to provide highquality health care services.”

The new Cerner EHR will support Capital Health clinicians to efficiently document and access patient information all in one location. Having the most up-to-date patient information at their fingertips supports clinicians in making the most appropriate and informed data-driven decisions. It also means patients who receive care at both Capital Health hospitals may not have to fill out as much paperwork because their critical health data will be able to follow them between locations.

"Setting up a new EHR during a global pandemic is not a simple task, and Capital Health overcame immense challenges to complete the project for the benefit of its patients and clinicians,” said Brian Kincade, senior director and general manager, Cerner. “We were able to successfully move a large portion of the design and build activity to a virtual environment, due to social distancing and travel restrictions, without skipping a beat. Capital Health’s dedication to getting the new system up and running, while also providing life-saving care amid COVID-19, is a testament to its commitment to the community.”

Patients will also have access to their health records through Cerner’s secure online patient portal. Once enrolled, patients can securely exchange messages with their care team, view health information and records, settle balances and view upcoming appointments. Through greater access to their own information, Capital Health is empowering patients to take a more active role in their care to support health and well-being.

Capital Health is the Central New Jersey/Lower Bucks County region's leader in providing progressive, quality patient care with significant investments in physicians, nurses and staff, as well as advanced technology. Comprised of two hospitals (Capital Health Regional Medical Center in Trenton, NJ and Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell), an outpatient facility in Hamilton, NJ, and various primary and specialty care practices across the region, Capital Health is a dynamic health care provider accredited by DNV GL – health care and a four-time Magnet®-recognized health system for nursing excellence.

Capital Health Earns

NATIONAL HONOR FOR EXCELLENCE in Treating Pancreatic Cancer The National Pancreas Foundation (NPF) recently recognized Capital Health Cancer Center as an NPF Center for treating pancreatic cancer. After a rigorous audit, Capital Health earned this designation by demonstrating a focus on the multidisciplinary treatment of pancreatic cancer—treating the whole patient—with a goal of achieving the best possible outcomes and an improved quality of life.

To earn recognition as an NPF Center, Capital Health met comprehensive standards developed by a task force of pancreatic cancer experts and patient advocates. The criteria include having expert physicians in specialties such as gastroenterology, pancreas surgery, and interventional radiology, along with more patient-focused programs such as pain management, behavioral health, and more.

“Being named an NPF Center for the treatment of pancreatic cancer is a great honor for Capital Health, but it is even better news for patients who need our services,” said DR. CATALDO DORIA, medical director of Capital Health Cancer Center and a hepato-pancreato-biliary surgeon. “This designation is a result of the great work done by teams across disciplines at our Cancer Center every day and reaffirms Capital Health’s commitment to providing innovative, world-class care that is close to home for patients in Central New Jersey and surrounding regions.”

Capital Health Cancer Center, located at Capital Health Medical Center - Hopewell, is the area’s most advanced provider of cancer treatment delivered by some of the most experienced medical experts, led by medical director Dr. Cataldo Doria.

At the Center, a team of physicians from related fields such as medical oncology, radiation oncology, gynecological oncology, neurosurgery, hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery, interventional GI and pulmonology, radiology, plastic and reconstructive surgery, colorectal surgery, thoracic surgery and other specialties collaborate and provide patients with a network of physicians trained in the most complex oncology issues.

KNOW THE RISK OF PANCREATIC CANCER Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading causes of cancerrelated deaths in the US, with more than 48,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Though the exact cause of pancreatic cancer are not yet well understood, research studies have identified certain risk factors that may increase the likelihood that an individual will develop the disease.

THE ARTS

Next time you visit Dohm Alley, take pause

By Dan Aubrey

A

rts Council of Princeton artistin-residence Robin Resch says she likes the idea of using Nassau Street’s Dohm Alley as the setting for her upcoming photographic exhibition, “Taking Pause.”

That’s because the name is also a desired reaction, for residents and visitors to take a pause to view her collaborative visual meditation that asks subjects and viewers to reflect on objects that are personally essential and irreplaceable.

Resch says the exhibition on view through October is based on a threelevel approach. One is the image of the person. The other is of the object that the individual selected. And the third is a personal statement about the object.

“From the beginning, I was spending time with people, and there was a conversation. So I thought it was important for each person participating to have their own voice to it. I didn’t want to translate them. It gets down to voice.

How someone writes is their voice. It is their participation as well.

“It was very important to me as I stared to work on this that each person

is not a passing subject. They are a participant. They’re engaging in this project and engaging on few levels. Their voice is so important to me.”

She says the idea for a series featuring a “meaningful portrait of a person through something that matters to them” came from a personal experience.

“My mother has an old maritime painting that I love — crashing water and energy. It is something that will never be mine. So I thought how can I make it mine?”

Although she used photography, she says, “I deconstructed (the work) in a way, took moments from it, created other versions of it, and put it together on panels. Images were wood panels covered in caustic wax. So it doesn’t look like photographs. It looks different. This process became important to me.”

The approach also provided her with a method where she could work on a portrait that would convey “the depth of subject.”

“It isn’t ‘What is important to you?’” she says about communicating with the subject “But, ‘What is irreplaceable to you and if there may be something

that represents it?’ Not everyone thinks about the question.”

She calls the result a triptych: “person, object, and statement.”

The project began in 2018 when the Princeton-based professional photographer “reached out to a few people in town and bounced the idea off them. A few of those early people were my first participants.”

Eventually, she says, she had developed a criteria for subjects or participants, “not a client, not a close friend, someone out of my comfort zone, not in my reach. I stared with about eight people in here, New York, and Pennington and I asked each person to help me” to find participants.

The project eventually grew to include a four month trip across the southern portion of the United States.

When she returned home, she says, “I was looking at what I did and what could happen and then the pandemic hit. That put travel on hold, to put it mildly.”

Originally from Connecticut, Resch came to Princeton to study architecture.

Describing her progression to an established commercial and fine arts

Robin Resch’s ‘Taking Pause’ installation will be in Dohm Alley from April through October.

photographer, Resch says, “Photography came first. I always had a camera since I was 16. I was given a camera by my dad and I was always passionate. But architecture was something I wanted to study when I was younger.

My father was an architect and thought it was difficult professional. My mother thought so too. Architecture was always something I wanted to do.”

With a photography practice that includes weddings, family portraits, corporate promotion, and fine arts, Resch attributes her ability to invest in each as, “I ebb and I flow. I am a curious person. And I am a visual person I respond to certain moments . . . People trust me to see what they’re not seeing and bring that to them.”

PARTING SHOT

Click here, Alice

By Pia de Jong

E

very night, I stumble into the same maze. After I drowse off into a deep sleep, I suddenly wake up, startled, searching for something on the tip of my monkey mind.

Usually it’s something I had forgotten — a password, a luminous idea, a name.

I don’t want to follow up on those things on this ungodly hour. I really shouldn’t. I tell myself to let it go. Forget about it. But I have the willpower of an alcoholic who knows there is a bottle of whiskey in the pantry. Sooner than later, I give in.

As soon as I grab my smartphone, I turn into Alice, following the white rabbit into his hole until she tumbles down behind him. Except, I am not Alice, but her wacky aunt, the rabbit is a rat, and the hole a stinky sewer.

And while Alice finds herself in a long, low hall, with closed doors all along it, mine are wide open, inviting me to enter. I venture straight on a road paved with the contents of Pandora’s box.

Twitter offers a dizzying race for attention from a gazillion opinions. The

rudeness is appalling. I find myself in a classroom filled with bullies. Who are these people who scare the hell out of me? Why are they so loud? I am tempted to offer my two cents, but don’t, fearing I will be trashed, although I don’t know by whom. Maybe not even by human beings, but cold bots.

Facebook seems a tad friendlier but confronts me with emotional stuff that is impossible to deal with in the middle of the night. While I am delighted to stumble upon an old friend from high school, I am saddened to learn she is not well. Oh no, this is terrible. But what can I do?

N

ext, I am shown images of people popping pimples as if they are delicacies. Help, I can’t unsee those images anymore. This site, to my bewilderment, is hugely popular.

To calm down, I visit a site where animals are saved. People go out of their way to rescue a drowning calf, a bird with a broken wing, an itchy dog that was never treated for a skin disease. I get caught up in every adventure, root for each animal, until I realize I already saw that sheep covered in 80 pounds of wool getting sheared.

ENCORE! ENCORE!

Haircuts are on my mind suddenly.

A girl with long dreadlocks visits a salon. I watch her transformation to the very end. Also that of the homeless man whose beard is shaven for the first time in ages. Apparently, I find this all irresistible at 3 a.m.

But, I need to go back to sleep. Asap.

I have a full day of work. But… there still are some drops of whiskey at the bottom of the social media bottle.

There they are, all over my screen.

Puppies. The wagging of their tiny tails, those cute noses. I love them all. But really, why am I here? I shoo them away.

Then, just when I am about to fall asleep, I realize I forgot to finish that thought that first woke me up. Whazzit? And that name … whozzit’s name?

Arrggh!!!
