Group joins pushback against PennEast pipeline approval

By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

A group of property owners has joined the call for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to “re-hear� its approval of the PennEast Pipeline Co.’s application for a natural gas pipeline that stretches from Luzerne Co., Pennsylvania and into Mercer County, New Jersey.

Homeowners Against Land Taking-PennEast (HALT) filed the re-hearing request lat week, alleging violations of the federal Natural Gas Act and the 5th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. HALT includes property

owners in Hopewell Township.

FERC granted a certificate of public convenience and necessity to PennEast in January - one of many steps before the project can proceed. PennEast still needs approval from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the Delaware River Basin Commission.

Nevertheless, PennEast has filed more than 180 eminent domain claims in federal district court in Pennsylvania and New Jersey against property owners who refused to grant easements to allow the company to go onto their land to survey it. Eminent domain is the process that govern-

Local youth’s Eagle Scout project cleans, preserves historic black cemetery

By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

215-354-3146

Bruce Harrison has an affinity for the Pennington African Cemetery, which is a small historic cemetery tucked away behind 417 S. Main Street at the edge of Pennington Borough.

Many of his ancestors - including his grandfather, Albert Thomas Witcher - are buried in the cemetery, which was set aside for members of Pennington’s black community in the 19th and 20th centuries.

So when Harrison needed to find a project to complete the requirements for Eagle Scout - the highest rank in the Boy Scouts of America - it was natural to propose cleaning up and preserving the Pennington African Cemetery.

And that’s exactly what Harrison did.

The Hopewell Valley Central High School senior gathered up some of the younger Boy Scouts in Boy Scout Troop 44 to collect information on those who are buried in the cemetery. They also built a bench, installed a flagpole and American flag, and added landscaping. “The number one reason for this project is that I have a strong connection with the Pennington African Cemetery. Ever since I can remember, my grandfather spent his time taking care of it,� said Harrison, who often accompanied his late grandfather to the cemetery. “It’s a small historic cemetery, and no one really thinks about it,�

Harrison said. “These people - all

of them - contributed to Pennington’s history. I don’t want them to be forgotten. I feel like their history should be preserved and taken care of.�

Harrison’s Eagle Scout project is not the first one to focus on the Pennington African Cemetery.

An earlier Eagle Scout project, organized by another Boy Scout, resulted in the installation of a bench at the cemetery. Harrison and the younger Scouts built another bench and reinstalled the one that was already there. “A lot of people go to the cemetery and they want to sit near their loved ones,� Harrison said.

Descendants of some of the people who are buried there are still living in the area. The last burial took place in the 1960s.

But perhaps the most challenging aspect of Harrison’s Eagle Scout project was tracking down the names of the members of the black community who are buried in the cemetery.

Harrison said some of the headstones are still standing, but many headstones are non-existent or the inscriptions are unreadable.

Where it was possible, the Scouts wrote down the information that they could read on the headstones.

To fill in the gaps, Harrison turned to the Blackwell Memorial Home, up the street on N. Main Street in Pennington Borough. The Scouts looked through the records kept by the funeral home, and wrote down the information. The records are hand-written, and sometimes the handwriting was

ments or agencies use to take private property for public use, with the promise of compensation made to the original property owners.

HALT’s request for a re-hearing is based on several alleged violations.

HALT claims FERC violated the federal Natural Gas Act and the 5th Amendment’s “due process� and “taking� clauses by approving PennEast’s application before the company obtained permission from other agencies, such as the NJDEP and the DRBC. While FERC can approve an application and attach reasonable conditions to it, per the Natural

Gas Act, those reasonable terms and conditions apply to the rates and terms of the initial gas deliveries under the act - not to the environmental review process, HALT said in its request for a rehearing. “Courts have upheld the rights of states to block a FERC-approved project under the Clean Water Act. When FERC grants a certificate without waiting for state and federal agencies to make determinations under federal laws, then FERC is illegally preempting the authority of those agencies,� according to HALT. The request also noted that once FERC issues a certificate of

public convenience and necessity, it grants permission to the applicant to use eminent domain to take land for the project if a property owner refuses to grant an easement.

But that was not the intent, HALT claims.

FERC “impermissibly extended its powers by prematurely granting conditional certificates� so that PennEast could use eminent domain to gain access to properties in order to gather needed information so it could comply with other rules and regulations, according to the re-hearing request.

Architect says school referendum projects are largely on schedule

By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Work on the $26 million school bond referendum, which is intended to make improvements to several school buildings in the Hopewell Valley Regional School District, is “overall� on time, according to project architect George Duthie.

Some projects, such as the renovation to the restrooms in the “300� wing of Central High School, have been completed, Duthie told the school board at its Feb. 12 meeting. New lighting has been installed in many classrooms, including older light See CEMETERY, Page 3A switches that have been replaced

by “occupancy sensors,� he said.

The Main Office at the high school has been relocated temporarily while work gets underway on renovations, Duthie said.

Work on the exterior masonry walls has begun, and the steel framework for an addition to the school is in place.

Meanwhile, several projects have been completed. These include roof replacements at Central High School and the Hopewell Elementary School, and the districtwide clock, public announcement and communications system.

Duthie said the summer 2018 projects have gone out to bid - the fire alarm system replacement projects at the Timberlane Middle

School and the Hopewell, Stony Brook and Toll Gate elementary schools, and the heating and air conditioning upgrades at the middle school.

Also out to bid are the restroom renovations at Timberlane Middle School and the Bear Tavern, Hopewell and Toll Gate elementary schools.

The roof replacement projects for the Timberlane Middle School and Toll Gate Elementary School also are out to bid, Duthie said. “The projects are, generally speaking, on time. We are not expecting any major issues,� Duthie told the school board.

Harrison also wrote down information on the military veterans who are buried in the Pennington African Cemetery.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that each year in the United States, approximately 2,650 babies are born with a cleft palate and 4,440 babies are born with a cleft lip with or without a cleft palate. A cleft lip appears as a narrow opening or gap in the skin of the upper lip that extends to the base of the nose. A cleft palate is an opening between the roof of the mouth and the nasal cavity.

These defects usually result in dental problems such as missing, extra, malformed, or displaced teeth. Fortunately, reconstructive surgery within the first 12-18 months of life significantly improves appearance, after which orthodontic treatment can start to address dental irregularities.

A child with a cleft lip/ palate requires the same regular preventive and restorative care as the child without a cleft.

However, because children with this condition may have special problems related to missing or malformed teeth, they require early evaluation by an orthodontist familiar with the needs of the child with a cleft. To schedule an orthodontic consultation, please call the office of MARK W. McDONOUGH, DMD, LLC, at 609-730-1414.

Get to know the borough better by joining the library’s activities at the Hopewell Public Library: March, 7 p.m. at the Hopewell Train Station: Health and Wellness talk- Mindfulness and Skills for Living With Intention and Awareness The Hopewell Public Library’s focus on health and wellness in the new year continues with local speaker Michele Naphen’s discussion on mindfulness.

Mindfulness is the practice of pausing, slowing down, and observing our internal experience - thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, action urges, and our external experience. It opens a connection to what is going on around us in the present moment.

In this session participants will experience at least three ways to integrate mindfulness into your daily lives, with a special emphasis on mindful (vs. mindless) eating. You will also receive information on reading material and other mindfulness resources.

Our culture values multitasking and speed, yet we often feel overwhelmed, tense, and exhausted when we constantly do several things at once. We may sometimes feel as if we are on automatic pilot, disconnected from our bodies, minds, and emotions. When we practice every day activities mindfully, such as breathing, moving, and eating, we feel more connected with ourselves and our world, more focused, satisfied, and accomplished.

Michele Naphen, MSW, LCSW, has studied and practiced mindfulness since 1987. She teaches mindful-

ness skills privately, and in the Adult and Women’s Trauma Intensive Outpatient Programs for Princeton House Behavioral Health in Hamilton. Michele has participated in trainings and retreats with leading mindfulness teachers, including John Welwood, Ph.D, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy trainers.

March 15, 6:30pm Cookbook Book Club (at the library): The March meeting will be using the classic The Art of Simple Food by Alice Waters.

Since the 1970s Alice Waters has been instrumental in the way we eat, cook, and think about food. Her simple but inventive dishes focus on locally produced, organic seasonal foods.

The Cookbook Book Club meets on the third Thursday of each month, 6:30-8:00 p.m. at the library.

Stop in the library to sign up and check out a copy of the book. As well as book discussion, each participant chooses a recipe from the cookbook of the month and prepares a dish to share at the meeting. The meeting is free but sign up is needed.

Check with the library for details.

Storytime: Every Monday morning at 10:30, preschoolers and their adult companions are invited to gather in our upstairs Children’s Room for stories, songs and activities.

Hopewell Public Library (466-1625) is located at 13 E. Broad St. in Hopewell Borough. More information is available on the website redlibrary.org, and on Facebook.

COFFINS AND CASKETS While the terms “caskets” and “coffins” are often used interchangeably, they are not the same. The term “coffin,” derived from the Old French word “coffin,” describes a narrow, hexagonal (six-sided) container that largely conforms to the shape of the body. With their narrow headspace, wide shoulder design, and tapering shape down to the feet, coffins are less popular in North America than in the rest of the world. The word “casket” was adopted in the late 19th century by the North American funeral industry as a synonym for the word coffin. It has four sides, a rectangular shape, and a split lid. Both caskets and coffins can be customized in a variety of ways.

Many people regard the coffin or casket as an important tribute to the deceased and they are selected with care. Your funeral director can show you photographs of a range of coffins and caskets. However, we recommend that you also make a visit to see the items at the funeral home. To learn more about the funeral and memorial services we offer, please call 609-737-2900. Our funeral home is located at 21 North Main St. Continuous Family Service Since 1881.

“Whoever is not in his coffin and the dark grave, let him know he has enough.”

Art of Sound in Lambertville is presenting a series of intimate concerts

By Anthony Stoeckert

Frank Bell’s March 9 concert will open a series of intimate music performances at Art of Sound in Lambertville.

rank Bell’s career as a musician finds him performing in many venues that are not traditional theaters. Working with a company called Sofar Sounds, he plays his music in homes, lofts, warehouses and cathedrals.

“As long as there are people to listen, anything can be a stage,” Bell says. “I think it’s cool to step out of conventional listening spaces as well because it creates more of a shared experience between the performer and the audience.”

That makes Bell the perfect musician to open “The Art of Sound Unplugged,” a springtime acoustic series presented by The Art of Sound in Lambertville.

Art of Sound is a showroom devoted to creating intimate music experiences. It was opened by John Nirmaier, who worked as a sound engineer, and his wife, Patti Giro. Art of Sound creates sound systems using high-end, stylish equipment. The show room in Lambertville features a listening room, designed for the ultimate music experience.

The unplugged series will open March 8 with the concert by Bell. Next will be a tribute to Sarah Vaughan, April 12, and a program titled “Poetry, Prose & Potions,” May 10. Closing the series will be a tribute to Dave Brubeck with the Eric Mintel Jazz Trio, June 7.

“The space is just really, really cool,” Bell says. “That building, it’s an old paper mill, and the way they have it set up, there’s exposed brick and wood vaulted planks and things. It’s a really cool environment, and it made sense.”

Bell’s career in music started with training as a classical cellist before he started playing other instruments.

“I eventually started writing my own music, kind of interpreting life’s experiences in my own words and notes,” Bell says.“It became something people seem to enjoy and something I enjoy.”

He released a five-song EP, “On Passion and Reason” in 2010, followed by an album, “Everything Falls Into Place,” released in 2011.

His concert will feature just him and a guitar, playing his original songs. In between tunes, he’ll share stories about his life and music. And these days, acoustic concerts are fitting his interests.

“I prefer the intimacy,” he says. “And when it’s just me, it’s easier to catch a vibe, or not necessarily catch a vibe, but a different kind of vibe.”

The concert will feature songs from throughout his career.

“It’s a hodgepodge,” he says. “I very rarely make a set list or plan for these things in advance as far as what I’m going to play. But there’ll be a little bit of old, a little bit of new. Don’t get me wrong, there’s definitely merit to playing with a band, communicating and kind of having a family on stage.

But sometimes, depending on the kind of mood I’m in and the size of the room, it makes more sense to just play solo and I can bring a lot to the table.”

Art of Sound in Lambertville will host an "Unplugged" series of concerts at its listening room this spring.

He writes songs about his life, what he observes about other people around him, and also about our shared experiences as human beings. Although he hasn’t released an album in nearly seven years, Bell says he’s done some recording and is figuring out the best way to release that music.

“I’m not in a hurry to come out with a new record, but the last record I released, I was believe was in 2011, so obviously I’m always writing and recording a bit,” Bell says.

There’s a lot going on in the world, of course, and he says like anybody else, all of that affects his

music, directly or indirectly.

“It definitely influences my writing,” Bell says.

“I try to be aware of where we are and where we’re potentially headed. One thing that’s always been consistent is the power of art, the power of music. I have a social responsibility, more or less, to create.”

Frank Bell will perform at The Art of Sound, 201 S. Main St., Lambertville, March 8, 7 p.m.

Reservations are required and can be made by calling 609-483-5000. For more information, go to theartofsoundllc.com.

The Historic

Jean Négulesco’s “Still Life” from 1926 is on view in “The Artist Sees Differently” at Princeton University Art Museum.

Artistic Visions

Works by renowned artists are on view at Princeton University Art Museum

P

aul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso, Georgia O’Keeffe, Georges Braque, Juan Gris, those are just some of the artists featured in “The Artist Sees Differently: Modern Still Lifes from The Phillips Collection,” on view at PUAM through April. 29.

The 38 paintings in the exhibit are from the collection of Duncan Phillips and the artist Marjorie Acker Phillips.

Duncan Phillips was an artist and collector, and a major figure in showcasing modern art in America.

The exhibit displays several important still lifes of fruit, including Pierre Bonnard’s 1920 work, “Bowl of Cherries.”

Wall text explains that the artist was more interested in how objects interact with each other to “create a harmonious construct of color, light, and shadow,” than in rending the object itself. In this painting, the cherries rest in a glass bowl

on a wooden table, with white pieces of china behind the bowl.

Cezanne’s “Ginger Pot with Pomegranate and Pears” (1893) shows the fruits strewn about a wooden table. A table cloth is bunched together, and a plate holding a piece of fruit is half on the cloth, half on the table. To the left is another table with books and behind the table is a gray curtain.

Harold Weston’s 1929 work “Melon” is an example of his colorful works depicting everyday life, according to wall text. In the work, melon slices are spread out on a plate, in a star-like shape. The plate sits on a table, covered by a light green-blue checkered cloth. A decanter and a glass also are on the table, which is pushed into the corner. To the left, a sliver of red floor can be seen.

STAGE REVIEW

By Anthony Stoeckert

‘Moon Over Buffalo’ at Kelsey M&M Productions gets big laughs with Ken Ludwig’s farce about life in the theater

O

pening and shutting doors may not seem like a special talent, but the cast of “Moon Over Buffalo” at Kelsey Theatre makes it an art form.

During one of the highlights of Ken Kudwig’s backstage farce, all of the play’s characters are looking for one another, and they’re frantically entering and exiting the green room of a theater. A door opens, a panicky character enters the room, sees no one there, and exits in haste. Just as that door closes, another opens, with another character continuing the bit.

It’s a classic farce move, one that always works when in the right hands, and the folks with M&M Productions, who are staging “Moon Over Buffalo’ at Kelsey through March 4, have very capable hands when it comes to comedy. In addition to the business with the doors, the actors in this production get laughs with their timing, physical antics and facial expressions.

As is typical with farces, there’s a lot going on with the plot. The scene is Buffalo, 1953. George and Charlotte Hay (John Pinto and Maureen Hackett) are a married theatrical couple. They’ve had some success, but a few flops have led to them touring “Cyrano de Bergerac” and Noel Coward’s “Private Lives” in repertory. In case you don’t know, “Cyrano” is about a swordsman with a big nose who’s in love with Roxane. “Private Lives” is a sophisticated Noel Coward comedy about a divorced couple who both remarried and are honeymooning in the same hotel.

They’re very different plays, and that’s important.

Anyway, Charlotte dreams of Hollywood stardom, but George loves the theater and sees it as more noble than movies.

Charlotte’s deaf mother Ethel (Linda Cunningham) doesn’t agree with her son-inlaw on much, but she’s on his side in this debate. Without theater, Ethel says, “We’d all be republican.”

Charlotte and George have a daughter, Rosalind (Angela Fasanella). She used to be engaged to the stage manager Paul (Tim

Moran), and is now engaged to Howard (Christopher “Lars” Schmalbach), a weatherman, and big fan of Rosalind’s parents.

Rosalind is nervous about introducing Howard to her family, but he can’t wait.

Howard even bought an old general’s costume George wore in a show. Meanwhile, George has had a fling with Eileen (Jennifer Litzinger), an actress in the show, and it turns out Eileen is pregnant. Meanwhile, Richard, “the accountant to the stars” (played by Matthew Cassidy) is in love with Charlotte and promises her a luxuri-

ous life if she leaves her husband for him.

There’s more, including a huge fight between Charlotte and George over that bun in the oven. Then George finds out Frank Capra is coming to see the company perform because he‘s directing “Twilight of the Scarlet Pimpernel” and star Ronald Colman has broken both his legs. Capra needs a replacement, opening the door for Charlotte and George, and George is elated to tell his wife the news. “The most wonderful thing in the world has happened, Ronald Coleman is crippled,” he says with joy. But Charlotte thinks it’s a ruse to keep

her in Buffalo, making her even madder at her husband. She storms out, George gets drunk, and all seems lost.

Pinto and Hackett have terrific comic timing and very funny facial expressions in playing this bickering couple, who deep down are quite fond of each other. Cunningham gets lots of laughs with her digs at George, who she blames for ruining her daughter’s Broadway career. George is such a ham, she says, “They should stick cloves in him and serve him with pineapple.

As the daughter, Rosalind, Angela is playing the most normal character in the show, and gets plenty of laughs, particularly her jab about Buffalo being “like Scranton but without the charm.” Cassidy brings desperation, energy and heart to Richard (he also has a fun moment interacting with audience members). Schmalbach is funny breaking into weatherman mode; Litzinger plays the wronged young lover spot-on; and Moran gets big laughs as the stage manager, trying to woo his ex while holding the company together.

M. Kitty Getlik directed the show. Getlik is the artistic director at Kelsey, and does lighting design for most productions there. She doesn’t get to direct often (the last time she did was in 2009), and she has a sure hand and keeps the pace face — the first act flew by.

It culminates with a wonderful scene where the company performs “Private Lives” — or is is “Cyreno?” One of the characters gets it wrong, and thank goodness for that. We can all use a few good laughs right about now, and “Moon Over Buffalo” has plenty of them. Ï“Moon Over Buffalo” continues at Kelsey Theatre on the campus of Mercer County Community College, 1200 Old Trenton Road, West Windsor, through March 4. Performances: Fri.-Sat. 8 p.m., Sun. 2 p.m.

Learning, and teaching, by doing Princeton Professor Michael Littman makes engineering accessible to students The biggest mistake I have made thus far in my role as a grandparent was showing my kids a picture of Princeton University Engineering Professor Michael Littman. He was standing with his structural creations — a pendulum clock taller me, bridges, and the Eiffel Tower — all made from Legos and Connex building blocks. Most notably, I said, he constructed these objects as part of his job.

The occasion of my grandparenting miscalculation was Thomas Edison’s birthday on Feb. 11. I was trying to make a point that New Jerseyans should celebrate in February not only the legacies of Presidents Lincoln and Washington, but also New Jersey’s heritage of science and innovation, as represented by Thomas Edison. Professor Littman, a longtime acquaintance of mine, is someone who truly appreciates the importance of that heritage.

The result, however, was that my grand babes wanted to adopt him as a grandparent and relegate me to the waste bin of those grandparents who simply spend a fortune on Legos, but can do nothing cool with them. A third picture of Dr. Littman, standing in front of a motorcycle that he built, threw Littman into superhero status in the minds of my kids. He told me to refrain from taking their rejection personally.

With all of his cool toys and creations, he is an engineering Pied Piper to kids. One of the youngsters in his neighborhood was always requesting play dates with him, said Professor Littman, the father of grown children, but grandfather to none — yet.

My grandkids announced that they first, wanted to go to work with him; and second, were convinced that they could build an Eiffel Tower, but not so sure about the motorcycle. Both comments would be structural music to the ears of educator Littman, who wants to do nothing more than enlighten and inspire people of all ages about the joys of engineering.

His bio is intimidating, but for the nearly three decades that I have known him, I vouch for his completely down-to-earth demeanor and non-patronizing behavior toward engineering morons like myself. He is a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, with a bachelor’s from Brandeis

Michael Littman uses his knowledge to make teaching engineering fun by building everythng from motorcycles to a model of the Eiffel Tower.

(Physics) and Ph.D. from MIT (Atomic Physics) and a string of publications with titles that boggle my mind. Littman’s research interests include automatic controls, tunable laser design, and bio-mimic robotics. His principal research concerns the Terrestrial Planet Finder, a project involving design and control of a high-contrast coronagraph.

Most telling is the fact that in 2015 he won the Distinguished Teaching Award, the highest faculty honor conferred by Princeton’s School of Engineering and Applied Science.

What he is doing now is combining his love of education with a love of laboratories and the history of science and engineering.

His area of specialty for the past several years has been teaching engineering in a way that is accessible and compelling to both engineering and non-engineering students in the university. His signature course for engineering accessibility is Engineering in the Modern World, developed two decades ago with Dr. David Billington, who before his retirement taught at Princeton from 1960 through 2010.

“That course got me very ex-

cited about [the] history of science of engineering and the engineering pioneers who revolutionized the world,” Littman said. “I started to dig deeper into the subject and needed to be certain that I understood the subject well enough to communicate the information effectively.”

The way he learns — and the way he teaches — is by doing. “I believe that this is the most effective way to learn,” he said. “I taught myself electronics and mechanics not by just using a machine, but by actually building equipment and making it work.”

This semester he is teaching his hands-on seminar and laboratory course about the engineering design of motorcycles. Students restore a vintage motorcycle — examine, disassemble, model test and rebuild a vintage motorcycle.

No previous shop or laboratory experience is needed, liberal arts students as well as engineering students are welcome.

“My learning-by-doing approach is analogous to what a soccer coach told me years ago. . . you can tell students something, show them, but the lesson only sinks in when you actually do it. .

. . Building the object and getting it to work also builds confidence,“ he said.

Also fascinating to him is the history part, understanding how early scientists did so much with so little. Joseph Henry, who Littman calls “the most important” scientist of the early 19th century and first secretary of the Smithsonian, was a physics professor at Princeton from 1832 to 1846. His chief scientific contributions were in the field of electromagnetism, where he discovered the phenomenon of self-inductance.

Littman said students are amazed that Joseph Henry’s measuring instrument was a magnetic compass, and his voltage source was a chemical battery and wires. He was able to do these elegant studies of electricity and magnetism without any expensive equipment. “When the students recreate his experiments, they learn the principles of physics and a lesson [perhaps a life’s lesson] of how you can do a lot with very little,” Littman said.

Similarly, students comprehend computer technology when they build the equivalent of the Apple 1 computer and then program it.

Professor Littman often takes his learn-by-doing projects outside of the Ivory Tower. He and his students have become ambassadors in the community (at the public library and Communiversity, for example) through the program known as Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS). In EPICS, students earn academic credit for their participation in multidisciplinary design teams that solve technologybased problems for local, not-forprofit organizations.

Littman and his EPICS team are proud of the role they played with ISLES, a Trenton-based community development organization, that a few years ago saved and redeveloped the historic Mill One on the Trenton-Hamilton border. Princeton University’s Department of Engineering led the rebuilding of the factory’s 1895-era mechanical clock and developed a course through which students worked alongside the Isles design team to explore potential sustainable design elements of the mill restoration.

One can say that the students engaged in well-timed, hands-on learning.

The Week of Friday, March 2, 2018

Dr. Satyen Govan, DO

What are hospitalists and what do they do?

In the past, when patients were admitted to the hospital, their primary care physician would come to the hospital to check on them and coordinate their care if they were treated by specialists or other healthcare professionals.

Today, however, many primary care doctors spend their time only seeing patients in their office, and entrust hospitalists to care for their patients during a hospital stay.

A hospitalist is a doctor who provides care exclusively for patients in the hospital. Hospitalists typically do not have outpatient practices, which means they can devote the majority of their time caring for hospitalized patients.

If you or someone you know is hospitalized, it is important to understand what a hospitalist does and what you can expect from their care.

What is the role of a hospitalist?

The role of the hospitalist is to provide direct care to patients and to coordinate and manage a patient’s care from admission to discharge.

A hospitalist looks at all aspects of a patient’s care and is the leader of the care team, which typically includes specialists, nurses, social workers, case managers and primary care physicians.

In other words, a hospitalist can be thought of as a quarterback, coordinating the actions of the healthcare team.

What type of training do hospitalists have?

The vast majority of hospitalists are doctors trained in internal medicine. At Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center (PMC), all hospitalists are board certified internal medicine doctors who have undergone the same training as other internists, including medical school, residency training and board certification examination.

Board certification is a process over and above medical licensure that demonstrates a physician’s exceptional expertise in a particular specialty.

What are the advantages of having a hospitalist?

Because hospitalists are on site and lack typical office time constraints, they are typically available to provide focused, face-to-face care 24 hours a day, seven days a week, year round.

Put simply, they are there when you need them. Given they work in the hospital every day, hospitalists are familiar with the hospital’s protocols and processes, and have close working relationships with nurses and other staff.

Additionally, hospitalists look at the big picture. While a patient may see multiple specialists during their stay, it is the job of the hospitalist to evaluate various treatment recommendations, coordinate testing and develop a plan of care that is right for the patient. Hospitalists are available to answer questions, discuss test results and engage in family discussions. They also keep current

charged and will provide the physician with a record of the patient’s hospital stay and discharge plan.

How does a hospitalist work with a patient’s specialists?

Often patients in the hospital have more than one health problem — or comorbidities in medical terms. In these instances, the goal of care is to treat the primary diagnosis that led to the hospitalization, while ensuring the other conditions are stable. It is the role of the hospitalist to communicate with the specialists and coordinate care.

Dr. Satyen Govan

on the latest advances in hospital medicine.

Do hospitalists communicate with primary care physicians?

Yes. Normally, if a patient is admitted trough the Emergency Department, the hospitalist will inform the primary care physician. If the admission is planned, the primary care physician will request that a hospitalist provide care during the patient’s stay.

When a patient is admitted, the hospitalist will request their medical history and list of current medications. The hospitalist will also let the primary care physician know when a patient is dis-

Do hospitalists change during a patient’s stay?

Depending on their length of stay, a patient could see more than one hospitalist. Hospitalists work in teams so when one hospitalist is off duty, another hospitalist who is familiar with the patient’s case will provide care. When a hospitalist goes off service they provide a detailed report to the hospitalist who sees the patient for the first time the following day to ensure a smooth transition and continuity of care.

Do hospitalists communicate with a patient’s family?

Patients who want to give a family member access to their health and treatment information must first give their hospitalist written permission. The hospitalist will likely request one point of contact — a spouse, partner, child, sibling — who can dissem-

inate information to other family and loved ones. If the patient is unable to provide written permission at the time of hospitalization, the hospitalist will refer any advance directives the patient may have.

When do hospitalists typically make rounds?

At PMC, hospitalists typically make rounds in the morning and see most patients before noon.

However, hospitalists are available day or night for questions, test results and family discussions. In addition, PMC provides notebooks for patients and their family to write down questions they want to remember to ask their hospitalist and to take notes.

To learn more about hospitalists, Penn Medicine Princeton Health will air a pre-recorded USTREAM video with me on March 14 at noon on its Princeton Health on Demand USTREAM channel at http://www.ustream.tv/princetonhealth.

Satyen Govan, DO, is board certified in internal medicine and sports medicine. He is the medical director of Princeton Medicine Physicians Hospitalist Service and a member of the Medical Staff of Princeton Health.

Animal-assisted therapy boosts mental health

Throughout history, animals have served as loyal companions to humans.

Dogs particularly, have long been known for their unconditional love, offered freely and without judgment.

It’s no wonder they’re called “man’s best friend.�

Over the past decade, an increasing body of research has shown the physical benefits of pet ownership from reducing blood pressure to improved cardiovascular fitness.

In addition, studies have shown that animals can also help reduce stress and improve mental health conditions, such as anxiety and depression.

At Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health, animal-assisted therapy is helping patients of all ages overcome mental illness, emotional difficulties or substance abuse.

What is animalassisted therapy?

As defined by the American Counseling Association, animal-assisted therapy is the incorporation of pets as therapeutic agents into the counseling process.

More specifically, animalassisted therapy is a tool used to help individuals —

Good listeners It is believed that people relate to dogs so well because dogs seem to express some of the same feelings people experience. Just like people, dogs can be scared, sad, or excited. They can read body language and communicate through their own body language.

For instance, a dog that rolls over on its back for a

belly rub is allowing itself to be vulnerable and showing it trusts you.

Additionally, because dogs can only listen and do not judge, they provide a sense of safety for individuals, helping people to open up about their emotions and allowing them to start processing their feelings so they can manage them in a healthy way.

For children especially, dogs or other animals in a therapeutic setting can help build self-esteem and leadership skills and teach impulse control and empathy.

As part of animal-assisted therapy, individuals are encouraged to think about how the therapy dog might handle a certain problem or situation. Doing so enables the individual to see the problem from a different perspective and begin to identify solutions.

Moreover, dogs sense when someone is struggling or sad and their presence can be soothing and calming. The sensory aspect of petting a dog or other animal can also help reduce stress, teach people how to be present and mindful, lower cortisol (the stress hormone) and release ‘feel good’ hormones that promote happiness.

late Baroque, and Albinoni’s oboe concerto is among the period’s greatest hits. But we will also hear lesser-known composers, including Brehy, who, though based in Brussels, was a follower of the Italian style. We hope the audience will find the entire program upbeat and enjoyable.�

La Fiocco will also perform the concert at Trinity Episcopal Church in Solebury, Pennsylvania, March 18 at 3 p.m. Tickets cost

$25, $10 students. Tickets are sold at the door, cash or check. For more information, go to lafiocco.org.

Members of the American Guild of Organists will perform an organ recital featuring composers from Baroque to Romantic, March 18 at St. Paul Church in Princeton.

The musicians will play on the church’s historic 1925 Aeolian-Skinner organ, beginning at 2:30 p.m. The church is located

children and adults, men and women — process difficult emotions.

Therapy dogs (or other animals) should not be confused with service animals, which live with their owners and are trained to assist their owners with specific medical conditions such as blindness or epilepsy.

Moreover, therapy dogs are different than emotional support or comfort animals, pets that provide support to a person with mental illness. To be designated an emotional support animal, the pet must be prescribed by a licensed mental health professional for a person with mental illness.

At Princeton House, therapy dogs are trained and certified to participate in the mental health treatment process, directed by a mental health professional.

Artists

Continued from Page 3B

Marjorie Phillips’ 1922 work “Poppies and Cornflowers� is a stunning, deceptively simple work. Beautiful flowers of various colors are in a glass vase on a wooden table against a black background. Two books are on the table, and most fascinating is the view of the flowers through the glass vase.

Another simple image is depicted in Walt Kuhn’s “Bread and Knife,� from 1934.

In it a loaf of bread is nestled in a soft, white cloth, a sharp knife is placed in front of the bread. Like Phillips’ painting, the background is black.

And of course, visitors to the exhibit won’t want to miss the two works by Pablo Picasso — “Studio Corner� (1921) and “Still Life with Glass and Fruit (1939). “The Artist Sees Differently� is on view at Princeton University Art Museum on the Princeton University campus, through April 29.
