Public input sought for future of Bristol Myers Squibb site By Frank Mustac Contributor

Mayor Kevin Kuchinski called for scheduling a series of meetings for residents to offer input on the future of Bristol Myers Squibb office complex on PenningtonRocky Hill Road. Late last year, the pharmaceutical and health products company announced its intention to gradually move out of Hopewell Township, and fully vacate its Pennington-Rocky Hill location and a smaller site on Carter Road by 2020.

BMS has told township officials that it plans to sell the properties. There are about 1,250 workers at both sites, but many of the those jobs would be moving to central New Jersey locales and to Massachusetts. According to the township, Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) currently represents about 5.9 percent of Hopewell Township’s tax base. “I think we’ve only begun to have conversations about BMS,” Mayor Kuchinski said during the Feb. 27 Hopewell Township Committee meeting. “I think our pri-

mary concern, to start with, is protecting (the BMS property) as a ratable for the township. Being able to bring a comparable ratable onto that (primary) campus is important.” Committeewoman Vanessa Sandom, who had requested the work session, said she wanted to include the larger of the BMS properties, on Pennington-Rocky Hill Road, as a possible location for future affordable housing. There is a general development plan (GDP) in place that governs the 430-acre property, 200 acres of which are dedicated to pre-

served farmland and open space. The site also contains its own sewerage treatment facility. The BMS property is being considered as a potential site for affordable housing, in part, because of the existing sewerage capacity. Sandom said it is up to BMS to approach Hopewell Township if the company wishes to renegotiate the GDP prior to the sale of the property to include residential housing, including housing for low- and moderate-income buyers. “One of the things the town-

ship should do is provide some direction to this large company as to whether we consider renegotiating the GDP or not,” said Sandom. Committeeman John Hart said he disagreed with changing the existing GDP to add residential housing, including affordable housing. “What we need is a ratable, and what are doing is taking away that ratable,” Hart said. Though the mayor said he agreed with Hart, he said the township is facing a constitutional obligation for affordable housing. See BMS, Page 9A

Bulky waste service to restart later this year By Frank Mustac Contributor

Bulky waste pickup service is being reinstated after an longtime absence. Deputy Mayor Julie Blake and Committeewoman Kristin McLaughlin announced that spring curbside pickups will take place in April, while fall pickups are scheduled for the month of October. Hopewell Township suspended its bulky waste pickup program in the aftermath of a fire in March 2015 that damaged the Department of Public Works building and more than 20 DPW vehicles parked inside the building’s garage. The truck that had been used for the bulky waste program was among the vehicles deemed unfit for service. “We’re not buying a new truck.

We’re going to be renting one,” Blake said during the Feb. 27 Township Committee meeting. McLaughlin offered the details about the reinstated program, the budgeting of which was ironed out during a recent session with the township’s finance advisory committee. The elected Township Committee along with appointed finance advisory committee have been meeting recently to hammer out the municipal budget for 2017. “The township is going to lease a refuse truck at a cost of (about $6,500) per month for the spring Courtesy photo and fall bulky waste pickups,” McLaughlin said. “So we will spend $13,000 (for two months) rather than about $230,000 to purchase a refuse truck.

Officials to use $2.4M to bankroll 2017 capital projects By Frank Mustac Contributor

More than $2.3 million of unused money from previous years is being moved into the capital improvement budget for 2017, funding a number of municipal projects and purchases along the way. Township committee members unanimously voted to introduce an ordinance to reappropriate the funds, part of which come from capital improvements projects initiated as far back 2008. Approximately $1 million will go toward the 2017 road program in the township and another roughly $960,000 will be spent

on chip seal road maintenance. Officials said about $163,000 will also be disbursed for a new combination police communications and cell tower and $175,000 will go to the purchase of a bucket truck for the department of pubic works. “This ordinance repurposes money that had been borrowed and will not be expended, in part, based on bids coming in lower (than anticipated),” Mayor Kevin Kuchinski said during the Feb. 27 Township Committee meeting. Township Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer Elaine Cruickshank-Borges explained that the funds were authorized for previous capital improvement projects. The projects were all

completed, she said, but money remained because the project bids came in lower than what was authorized by the township for the projects. About half the funds, approximately $1.1 million, comes from unspent funds from completed road projects. “This is all leftover unused money,” Committeewoman Vanessa Sandom said. “We’ve had a number of ordinances this year and last year that do exactly this.” Township Administrator Paul Pogorzelski said the previous capital projects came in under budget because of the process used to estimate project costs prior to making bids available to

contractors. “The capital process for prior years has always been we do a thumbnail estimate, which would inevitably result in a much higher cost than we know, because we have no design and materials,” Pogorzelski said. “We can’t engage in engineering before we do a bond ordinance ... so what we do now is we’re doing the engineering ahead before we actually do the bond ordinance. So future bond ordinances will be based on actual engineering processes.” Committeeman John Hart expressed concern that the township has been paying interest on unused money from previously authorized bonds. “I completely agree with

Index

you,” the mayor responded. “That’s why we changed the process last year, and we are now doing design work on our biggest expenditures a year in advance so we can get more accurate estimates.” “We got lucky with oil pricing and asphalt pricing last year, so we were able to return money that was put in the 2016 budget and we’re able to immediately reuse it for 2017,“ Mayor Kuchinski continued. A second reading of the ordinance and a public hearing on the matter is scheduled for March 13, after which the Township Committee will likely vote on the measure.

Love of the law drives Mercer County prosecutor By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

From an eighth-floor office on West State Street in Trenton, Angelo J. Onofri works every day in the county that he grew up in and is entrusted with protecting. In December, the career lawyer was confirmed by the state Senate to serve a five-year-term as the Mercer County Prosecutor, a job he had held on an “acting” basis since March 2015 after his predecessor retired. At 52, he leads an office with some 200 employees and an annual budget of around $19 million. By day, Onofri is Mercer County’s top law enforcement officer responsible for prosecuting killers, gang leaders and drug dealers. By night, he is the husband who enjoys the company of his four grandchildren, a good read and a win by the Yankees. Those two worlds can collide, and often do, when a fight in Trenton turns deadly and Onofri’s phone starts ringing. “There’s been a lot of dinners and family events that have gotten interrupted because something’s happened,” he said in an interview last week. “My wife and the family are very supportive. They know what the job entails and they knew what it entailed walking into it.” He spoke at length about the career path he took into the law, the inroads law enforcement has made to stem violence in Trenton and the new changes affecting how his office handles cases. Onfori grew up in Hamilton, where the seeds of becoming a lawyer were sown. As a senior at Steinart High School in the early 1980s, he took a class that exposed him to lawyers, judges and politicians. “And it really kind of developed a love for the law for me,” he said looking back. “That kind of propelled it.” Graduating in 1983, he went to Rutgers University and pursued his interests in law and government. In school, he interned for Rep. Chris Smith, (R-4), and also worked for him in his district office. “Part of what we did was casework, trying to streamline people who were having issues dealing

with the federal government for benefits or anything along those lines,” he said. “So getting involved with that, I kind of saw that was a way to help people and I thought the law was a big way to help people also.” He graduated from Rutgers in 1987 and Villanova University School of Law in 1990. For six years, he worked in private practice at McCarthy and Schatzman, a small law firm, before he moved into the Mercer County Counsel’s Office. He also doubled as a prosecutor in Trenton municipal court. “I really liked the dayto-day interaction with other lawyers,” he said. “When I left to go to the county counsel’s office and when I was in private practice, I was literally in court every day. And it was something that you do kind of miss.” In 1998, he joined the Prosecutor’s Office and has never left; he rose to first assistant prosecutor and became the boss two years ago when then-Prosecutor Joseph L. Bocchini Jr. retired. He served in an interim capacity, until Gov. Chris Christie last year nominated him for the post and the Senate approved the nomination by a unanimous vote. The workload in Mercer is voluminous; the office handles some 6,000 indictable cases annually, all with victims seeking justice and Onofri responsible for the outcome. Yet law enforcement face challenges, from witnesses afraid to come forward out of fear of being victims of retaliation for cooperating to mistrust that some have of police. “I think one of the biggest issues that’s facing law enforcement throughout the United States is the deterioration of police and community relations,” he said. “That’s a reality that we have to deal with.” To change those perceptions, he said law enforcement is working to have positive interactions with the public. Last summer, his office and other law enforcement agencies had cookouts in the neighborhood of Shiloh Baptist Church, in Trenton. The first week, some 40 people showed up; by the second week, more than 100 did. “It was an idea to get everyone together. People from my office and the

Trenton Police Department played ball with the kids,” he said. “And it was a great opportunity for us to interact with the community.” In August 2013, in response to the gun violence plaguing Trenton, thenstate Attorney General John J. Hoffman joined other law enforcement authorities to announce steps to crack down on shootings in a city that would end that year with a record 37 murders— an average of one murder every three days. In 2014, Mercer County had 32 murders total; every single one of them happened in the city. “Folks were just carrying the guns for no particular reason and they were doing it in public. And we found that a lot of this stuff is just too impromptu violence,” he said. “We’ve also found that there’s a lot of tangential stuff that occurs where the unintended victims are getting hit and killed. It seems that it’s violence for the sake of violence.” Law enforcement put more manpower on the streets and went after gang members and others who have guns in public. Murders in the city went from 37 in 2013 to 17 in 2015, although they rose to 21 in 2016, crime statistics at the State Police showed. “I don’t know that there’s any good answer to it,” he said when asked to explain the reduction. “And I don’t think I can take credit for it or that this office can take credit for it.” He pointed to work by the Trenton Police and said authorities reconstituted the Mercer County Shooting Response Team to solve shootings in their immediate aftermath. “It really is that first forty-eight hours concept, where you put the resources in while the leads and while everything is still fresh in everyone’s mind to try to solve those cases quickly,” he said. In looking to suburbs, his office sees problems with domestic violence, drug use and the related burglaries and thefts that drug addicts commit in order to get money for their next drug hit. He is looking to take a drug awareness program, now in the Hamilton school system, to every school district in the county, to both educate students about the dangers of drugs and how to get their

Technological innovations during that time, however, has made it necessary for prosecutors to meet the expectations of juries when cases go to trial. “I think the juries are demanding more from the prosecution,” Onofri said. “Let’s face it, we’re living in a video age. People like to see the surveillance tapes, they like to see the interviews that occurred [and] now with the advent of body cameras, they want to see it. And I think that that has been something that we’ve been adapting to and trying to become more technology

advanced in the courtroom.” In New Jersey this year, the state introduced bail reform, in a move to speed up the time authorities have to prosecute cases and change the way criminal defendants are held in custody. “New Jersey’s bail reform law puts safety first, eliminating a monetary bail system that allowed dangerous criminals to pay their way out of jail, often with proceeds of their crimes, while others charged with nonviolent offenses languished in jail because they were poor,” Attorney General Christopher S. Porrino said in December before the law took effect.

Among other things, authorities “generally” have 90 days to seek an indictment and 180 days to try someone who has been held in “pre-trial detention,” according to the state. The changes required the Prosecutor’s Office to hire 14 more staff members, also meaning court on weekends and holidays. “I think, so far, bail reform’s gone pretty smoothly,” Onofri said. “It has changed the way we’re doing business.” “Everybody,” he said, “including the police departments, have been doing a very admirable job in making bail reform work in Mercer County.”

Becoming effective citizens

How do we become more effective, participatory citizens? How do citizens communicate, come together, and organize in support of legislation addressing crucial issues? To a packed Princeton Public Library, Princeton citizen Sam Daley-Harris thinker, organizer, and author - provided a number of approaches through which we all might throw off our feelings of frustration, powerlessness, and uncertainty about what to do. Quoting author Frances Moore Lappé, Daley-Harris read that our problems are not the well-known physical threats to our wellbeing, because we know what the solutions are. “Our real problem is … our own feelings of powerlessness to manifest the solutions right in front of our noses.” Judging by the turnouts for this meeting, for recent Citizens’ Climate Lobby meetings in town, and for town meetings across the country, not to mention the numerous, postelection protests, last November’s elections have awakened and activated people nationwide, and around the world. But Sam urged all to consider a deeper form of advocacy: namely on-going meetings and conversations within groups and with each other, with those holding other views, and with our political representatives. And as we begin to do so, he reminded us, we will have greater success if we: a.) maintain civility; b.) bring others into the conversation; c.) practice our message and its delivery; and d.) reach out to the media. Part of this strategy means building bipartisan support for any initiative. It also means that individual citizens need to find organizations that are willing to stay focused and go deeply into issues, rather than leap from one to another. As an example of one such group (in addition to the Citizen’s Climate Lobby,) Daley-Harris introduced Princeton citizen, David Goodman, who has run the local chapter of Represent Us, a volunteer organization whose disciplined focus on getting corruption out of politics has won the enlistment of the town of Princeton, other New Jersey towns, and several statelevel efforts. But then Sam noted that for any of us to find the essential commitment to an idea or group, we first need to discover our own motivation - that is, our purpose. He pointed out that while many people want to support one issue or another, only a small percentage are even aware of who their Congressional representative is, despite the fact that she or he is probably the first person they should contact about that issue. Sam also noted that another substantial, polled national majority doubts that any change is possible. But that view is clearly self-defeating. Instead, in order to be effective, people need to first question themselves in order to discover what they believe, what their purpose is, and what they are prepared to do. At the same time, they need to recognize that action is an effective antidote to depression. The fairly wide-spread recognition of this across the country may be part of what has swelled the numbers of people suddenly participating.

THE STATE WE’RE IN

Energy efficiency saves money, saves land and creates jobs It’s easy to see the pros of energy efficiency. A well-insulated building with high efficiency heating and cooling, state-of-theart appliances, efficient lighting and “smart“ controls can slash energy use and save lots of money. At the same time, it boosts public health by reducing air pollution. Energy efficiency also saves land by reducing “energy sprawl” - the enormous amount of land needed for extracting, harvesting, processing and transporting fuels. But there’s another plus to energy efficiency that’s less obvious: jobs! A new report shows that the energy efficiency industry is already supporting at least 1.9 million jobs in the United States, and employers expect another 9 percent growth this year. “It employs about twice as many workers as the auto industry … and almost 10 times as many workers as the oil and gas extraction industry. It’s a big number,” said Jim Barrett, chief economist for the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE). Both the federal and state governments can encourage energy efficiency projects by providing incentives for utilities, families and businesses to invest. Some states have been faster than others to jump on the energy efficiency bandwagon. The report, “Energy Efficiency Jobs in America,” identifies the top 10 states investing in energy efficiency and creating jobs. California led the pack, followed by Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Ohio, Texas, New York, Georgia, Virginia and Pennsylvania. What about New Jersey jobs? This state we’re in wasn’t given a numerical ranking, but the report notes that as of 2015, about 38,400 New Jerseyans were working in energy efficiency related jobs. Most are employed by small businesses in sales, installation, engineering and research, manufacturing, and professional services.

This is consistent nationally, with most energy efficiency jobs provided by small firms rather than large corporations. For this reason, energy efficiency jobs were often undercounted in the past. The ACEEE provides an annual scorecard, ranking all 50 states by energy efficiency policies and results. Not long ago, New Jersey was ranked seventh, but fell to 24thin 2016, down from 21st the previous year. We can do better! Enhancing state policies to advance energy efficiency will not only yield savings for consumers and cleaner air, but will also provide more jobs for New Jerseyans.

‘(Green energy) employs about twice as many workers as the auto industry ... and almost 10 times as many workers as the oil and gas extraction industry.’ Jim Barett

The report concludes that major economic opportunities remain in the energy efficiency sector. According to the report, more jobs can be created if states do the following: • Prioritize the role of energy efficiency on the state level by developing and/or strengthening clean energy standards; • Advance energy efficiency standards set by the U.S. Department of Energy for appliances and equipment; • Strengthen building codes to capture all cost-effective energy efficiency opportunities at the time of design and construction; • Accelerate energy efficiency improve-

ments in buildings and devices that use electricity or natural gas. “Increased energy efficiency has driven remarkable savings for consumers,” noted the report. It added that residents of states with the weakest energy efficiency policies saw their monthly energy bills go up twice as much as people in the most efficient states. A 2011 Wilderness Society study on energy sprawl estimated that a single 1,000megawatt coal-fired power plant requires roughly 23,000 acres of land. If we can reduce the demand for power, we can reap huge dividends for the environment by saving land. Conservation of energy is by far the best and most efficient way to help the environment! Let’s increase energy efficiency to save money, save land, reduce emissions that cause health problems … and create jobs!

A LONGER PERSPECTIVE As you might imagine, humans who lived thousands of years ago, had larger teeth and jaws than we have today. According to various studies, from about 35,000 years ago, until 10,000 years ago, tooth size has decreased on average by about one percent every 2,000 years. From then until the present, the rate has doubled to a one percent decrease every 1,000 years. Various dietary, environmental, and cultural factors are responsible for these changes. Today’s modern humans have developed jaws that may scarcely be able to accommodate all the teeth in their mouths. It is no wonder that orthodontic studies show that 70 percent of the U.S. SRSXODWLRQ FRXOG EHQH¿W IURP having their teeth and jaws realigned with orthodontic treatment.

Mercer County Park Commission announces summer camp programs

The Mercer County Park Commission’s Nature Programs will host five summer camps for children ranging in age from pre-K to eighth grade. The camps include outdoor activities, explorations, games and time with old and new friends, all while being immersed in the wonders of the natural world. The Park Commission’s summer camps are developed and instructed by its team of teacher naturalists. Spots are filling quickly, so visit http://www.mercercountyparks.org/assets/Registration_Form_2017_iGZ5 fGf.pdf now to register. Making its debut this summer is Archaeology Camp to be held at the Tulpehaking Nature Center. Through hands-on activities and games, your “junior archaeologist-in-training” will practice the skills and methods that archaeologists use to unearth information about past cultures, includ-

ing American Indians, Revolutionary War patriots and exiled kings. Throwing with an atlatl, tool and pottery making, and other challenges are on the schedule as campers experience the lifeways of these past peoples. This camp is designed for children entering grades 4 through 6, and will be held at the Tulpehaking Nature Center in Hamilton the week of July 24 through 28 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Ultimate Camp Experience is the supreme recreation camp, which includes full-day traveling. This will give your child the opportunity to sample the activities and adventures the Park Commission has to offer. Each camp day will start at the Mercer County Tennis Center in Mercer County Park. From there, campers will be transported to two different facilities or parks to learn, explore and have fun. Campers will visit Howell Living History

Farm to harvest potatoes and make chips; the Wildlife Center for a live animal presentation; the Golf Academy at Princeton Country Club for expert golf instruction; and the Tennis Center for lessons and drills. Also planned, is hiking at Baldpate Mountain, kayaking and fishing at Mercer Lake, a picnic lunch, and visits to the Tulpehaking Nature Center as well as Arm & Hammer baseball stadium. This program is for children entering grades 5 through 7, and will be held the week of Aug. 7 through 11 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Drop-off and pickup will be at the Mercer County Tennis Center. Daytime transportation to activities will be provided by the Park Commission. If paddling is your child’s preference, then Aquatic Adventure Camp is a perfect fit. Designed to balance the fun of summer with science, Aquatic Ad-

Finally, Daley-Harris reminded the audience that practicing a group’s message is important in order to successfully draw in new members and enlist the support of representatives and governments. In response to one question about spreading one’s energies among many groups, he replied that it is probably more beneficial to find and commit to one organization which feels right, than it is to split one’s energies among many. Sam read to the audience a number of inspirational quotes, but one, from his book, Reclaiming our Democracy, by playwright George Bernard Shaw, seemed to speak to the key point of his talk. “This is the true joy of

life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. “I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is sort of a splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations. Huck Fairman is a Princeton author who writes SOLUTIONS about environmental issues.

venture Camp will have your child exploring fresh water ecology, testing Mercer Lake’s water, kayaking creeks and coves, and observing wildlife. Always a favorite, Aquatic Adventure Camp also includes activities such as fishing, hiking and a cookout. Campers will memorialize their week by making a Gyotaku Tshirt. Aquatic Adventure Camp will be held at Mercer County Marina, July 31 through Aug. 4 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Baldpate Mountain Nature Camp is a weeklong camp packed with hands-on nature explorations, science experiments, hikes through the forest and unstructured nature play. The 1,200 acres at Baldpate Mountain provide a rich and diverse ecological setting for children to explore and let their natural curiosity aid them in

If individuals need to first evaluate themselves, as Daley-Harris encourages them to, so too do the organizations. They need to examine their attitudes toward others new to them, seeing them as possibilities and not obstacles - seeing them even through a lens of love for their fellow creatures. In addition, groups need to establish “structures of support,” that is attitudes and on-going tasks that will welcome and engage members. Activities that require group participation and contribution are also key for holding together. Similarly, expressing and spreading accounts of success are equally essential for the encouragement necessary to keep going.

PHOTOGRAPHIC NARRATIVES “Revealing Pictures” at Princeton University Art Museum shares images from a worldly collection By Anthony Stoeckert he two women in the photograph are sitting on a couch, wearing silky robes, displaying a lot of leg and a hint of cleavage. Their eyes stare at the viewer, intently, but not in an alluring way to match how they’re dressed. Instead they seem to be challenging the viewer. One woman is younger than the other. Their relationship is explained in the photo’s title, “Mother and Daughter, Davenport, Iowa. The photo was taken in 2002 by Alec Soth, and is part of his series, “Sleeping by the Mississippi.” It is not a typical mother-daughter portrait. The daughter’s arm is wrapped around her mother, and their legs are intertwined. My first thought in looking at the picture was that they have a particularly close relationship and were photographed early in the morning. But in reading the text accompanying the photo I learned that Soth photographed the women in their place of work, a brothel. A caption accompanying the photo reads, “‘My dream is to be an RN,’” wrote Aja. “Her mother, Julie, said that she had given up on dreaming a long time ago.” The photograph is on view in “Revealing Pictures: Photographs from the Christopher E. Olofson Collection,” on view at the Princeton University Art Museum through July 2.

The exhibit features works by 11 photographers from the around the world: Nikolay Bakharev, Edmund Clark, Daniel and Geo Fuchs, Tim Hetherington, Pieter Hugo, Liu Zheng, Zanele Muholi, Robert Polidori, Soth and Miwa Yanagi. The photos are from the collection of Olofson, a member of Princeton University’s class of 1992. The works in the exhibit represent a fraction of the collection, according to Katherine Bussard, the exhibit’s curator. “His starting point for collecting was Chinese contemporary art,” Bussard says of Olofson. “He had been an East Asian studies student here at Princeton. He started following contemporary Chinese art in the late 1990s, and a lot of that work involved photography. He found himself gravitating to that work, and he built up a sizable collection of Chinese photography, from the ’90s and the aughts.” As he continued collecting, his works became more global. He now collects without regard to an artist’s country. Bussard notes that Olofson is drawn largely to documentary photographs that have a narrative component. “The goal for the exhibition was to pull together a number of objects from his collection that really underscore some of the subtlety of his collection,” Bussard says. Interesting to Bussard is what the photos reveal to viewers as they look at them. “I think that if someone wanted to walk through the exhibit and see very skilled artists making excellent and captivating portraits, that’s there for the taking at first glance,” she says. “That’s completely evident. I think if someone wants to dig a little deeper and understand something about the political and historical meanings of that portrait, we’ve made information available. Where that takes them and how it sits with them, whether it tugs at the heart strings or pushes up against their own political

beliefs, I hope I’ve left that up to the viewer.” For example, the photo of the mother and daughter is visually striking, but more is revealed as you look it. “If you want to look at the image a little more carefully, you start to notice they’re wearing matching outfits,” Bussard says. “And then, if you notice that those matching outfits are kind of silky and kind of like a negligee with a bathrobe over top of it, you start to wonder why a mother and daughter might pose together wearing such things.” Reading the label informs the viewer as to why they’re wearing negligee and that they are at work in a brothel. The quote about dreaming, and the photo’s placement next to another picture by Soth, of a cemetery, add to the experience. “Those layers, if you will, are exactly what I was hoping a visitor will, if he or she wishes, peel back to take a deeper look,” Bussard says. The Chinese artist Liu shares images of Chinese people who work in less-known aspects of China’s society. Photos from his series, “The Chinese,” taken from 1994 to 2002, including those of a dying old woman, two miners naked, washing after a day’s work, and convicts facing water boarding. Portraits by Muholi were taken in the wake of crimes against women and LGBTI people in South Africa. Hugo also is from South Africa and takes pictures of children in South Africa and Rwanda. The museum will host two panel discussions connected to the exhibit. “Revealing humanity: a conversation about visual identity in postcolonial South Africa,” will take place March 9 at 5 p.m. It will focus on Muholi’s “Faces and Phases” series. “Revealing war: a conversation about art and journalism in the 21st century,” on April 27, 2017, at 5 p.m., will explore Edmund Clark’s Guantánamo Bay series and Tim Hetherington’s photojournalism

of upheaval and conflict in West Africa and Afghanistan. There also will be an artist talk by Clark, April 6, 6 p.m.

“Revealing Pictures: Photographs from the Christopher E. Olofson Collection” is on view at the Princeton University Art Museum on the Princeton University campus, through July 2. Hours: Tues.Wed., Fri.-Sat., 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thurs. 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sun. 1-5 p.m. For more information, go to artmuseum.princeton.edu or call 609-258-3788.

FAMILY FUN By Keith Loria

Queen of the Court Ace Jackson and her fellow Harlem Globetrotters are coming to Trenton

T

he sweet music of “Sweet Georgia Brown” will soon fill Trenton’s Sun National Bank Center, as fans will get to witness the ball-handling wizardry, basketball artistry and one-of-a-kind family entertainment that can only be delivered by the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters. The fun and excitement of watching the the funniest basketball team around will be a little special for girls who love the game, as female trotter Ace Jackson will be joining in on the fun. As a child, Jackson went to a Globetrotter game with her family and took a photo with Globetrotter legend Sweet Lou Dunbar. She never imagined she would someday be wearing the same red, white and blue colors on her own uniform. “I never in a million years thought I would ever be a Globetrotter,” Jackson says. “I thought they were so amazing and really skilled and had great personalities that could make anyone laugh, so when I was asked to join, it was so amazing. It’s truly an honor to be part of such an iconic team.” Jackson’s collegiate basketball career is as impressive as anyone on the team. She played her first two years of college ball at Savannah State University, and quickly grabbed the starting point guard job as a freshman leading the team in three-pointers and assists. She led the team in scoring and assists as a sophomore and was named to the NCAA Division I All-Independent All-American second team. She then transferred to Point Loma Nazarene University for her final two seasons, leading the team in points, three-pointers and assists as a junior and in three-pointers, assists and steals as a senior. “I’ve always loved the game and had a passion for basketball since I was 7 years old,” she says. “I’ve done tricks since I was around 11, and could spin the ball on my finger and doing fancy ball-handling and such.” She attended basketball camps conducted by Globetrotter Handles Franklin, who saw something special in her and encouraged her to try out to become a Globetrotter. “I have always had the desire and will to help people,” she says. “Being a Harlem Globetrotter means that I am able to make a difference and an impact in the world and in many peoples’ lives.” Now in her second year with the team, Jackson is one of four women currently on the Globetrotters’ roster, and just the 13th female player of all time. Her signature move involves tricks with dribbling. “I’m a dribbler and I do a lot of dribbling, shooting and ball-handling throughout the night,” she says. “People

Hoops fans are sure to marvel at Ace Jackson’s dazzling skills when the Harlem Globetrotters make their way to the Sun Bank Arena, March 3-4. should be ready to laugh their face off and have a great time.” Her favorite part of being a member of the Globetrotters is all the traveling she gets to do. Jackson has already been to more than a dozen countries, playing in front of people all over the world. The Globetrotters are celebrating its 91th year of providing smiles, sportsmanship and service to millions of people worldwide. When the team takes to the floor on March 3 and 4, it will be facing off against the World AllStars. “Every year, we play for millions of fans and we always come up with new tricks and ideas that are sure to wow them,” Jackson says. “We hear that this year the World AllStars have a secret weapon, which will help them beat us, but we’re always coming full-force and we have our fans on our side, so we’ll play our hardest to go up against them.” There is little for Globetrotter fans to fear as opponents’

secret weapons always seem to fail. A few years ago, the Washington Generals hired a referee to help them win, and even with the ref awarding the generals a seven-point play, the Globetrotters still won. Globetrotters rules include a 4-point line, located 30 feet from the basket — 6 feet, 3 inches beyond the top of the NBA’s current 3-point line. And as usual, each Globetrotters game will showcase incredible ball-handling wizardry, rim-rattling dunks, trick shots, hilarious comedy and unequaled fan interaction. After each game, Globetrotter stars will even sign autographs and take photos with fans. “We’re all about creating lifetime memories, and what better way to do that than by having interactions with the fans,” Jackson says. “We love them, they love and support us and to be able to give back is just wonderful.”

The Harlem Globetrotters will play the Sun National Bank Center, Trenton, March 3-4, 7 p.m. Tickets cost $23.50$121.50; www.sunnationalbankcenter.com.

PHOTOGRAPHY TALK

Photographing the Boss

A

panel of photographers will talk about their experience taking pictures of Bruce Springsteen, March 5, beginning at 3 p.m. at McCosh 50 Lecture Hall on the Princeton University campus. Presented in conjunction with Morven Museum & Garden’s current exhibit “Bruce Springsteen: A Photographic Journey,” the discussion will be moderated by Bob Santelli of The Grammy Museum. Participating photographers will include Danny Clinch, Ed Gallucci, Eric Meola, Barry Schneier, and Frank Stefanko. “Our goal with this exhibition is [to] define the career of Bruce Springsteen in an entirely new light, as captured by these five incredible photographers,” Santelli says in a press release. “Each of these photographers were able to artfully document Bruce’s world, at different stages in his career. We are honored to partner with each of them in order to help tell the story of one of the most important fig-

In addition to the photographs of Springsteen off-stage, four live performance photographs, shot by Barry Schneier, are also featured. These photos were shot during the now famous Springsteen concert at Harvard Square Theater where famed Rolling Stone music journalist Jon Landau proclaimed, “I have seen the future of rock and roll, and its name is Bruce Springsteen.” Tickets for the panel discussion cost $35. A limited number of tickets that include priority seating and a meetand-greet with the photographers and Santelli at Morven’s galleries are available and cost $100.

The meticulously organized warehouse could pass for an antiques store, with its tables and chairs, beds, shelves of kitchen appliances, dishes and more. Residents of communities surrounding HomeFront’s facility at the Brunswick Circle in Lawrence are generous in their donations, and the loading dock fills with treasures, from wooden dining room sets, china closets and chests of drawers to headboards and sofas. These become available in HomeFront’s “free store,” where clients can pick out what they need to furnish the living space HomeFront helps them find. HomeFront has been seeking to end the cycle of poverty and homelessness and help families become self-sufficient for 25 years. Among the many donations have been sewing machines, some in finely wrought mahogany cabinets, and sewing notions — thousands of zippers and snaps, for example. Three years ago, Ruthann Traylor started Sewing Space, an organization that empowers HomeFront clients by teaching them sewing skills, thanks to the donations of fabrics, sewing machines and notions. Through the program, clients learn to sew curtains and tablecloths that can be used in their homes, as well as wine sacks and tote bags that can be sold, earning a small income that is split by the client and HomeFront. Participants learn merchandising and business skills, math and language skills, all while deriving satisfaction from having made something by hand. At Sewing Space, Traylor and her team have created a welcoming ambience that is often teeming with volunteers, sorting and cutting fabric, putting together materials that the production sewer can work on. There are bins and cabinets filled with neatly folded fabrics and organized sewing accoutrements, artfully painted and upholstered furniture, and displays of handcrafts, all contributing to the homey feel. Sewing teacher Jody Malloy, who has a background in children’s wear and doll costumes, worked as a seamstress while raising her own children. She made slip covers and did alterations, and is teaching the HomeFront clients to do the same. “It’s a great way to make money while working at home,” she says. Generations ago, every home had a sewing machine. Sewing used to be a required course for girls. In the mid-20th century it was less costly to make your own clothing than purchase it in a store, but that hasn’t been the case for decades. Most of the clothing we wear is sewn overseas, where fabric and labor are cheaper. Sewing has become a lost skill — even hems and buttons are sewn at the dry cleaner’s. As a result a generation of sewers have been

Ruthann Traylor started Sewing Space three years ago to help empower HomeFront clients, and to make use of the sewing machines that had been donated to HomeFront over the years. de-accessioning their Singers, Kenmores and Berninas on HomeFront’s loading dock. Malloy tried to teach her own children these valuable skills, but found they had little interest. “I love coming here and seeing new faces who are eager to learn my tips,” says Malloy, who starts with the basics: teaching students to get to know the machine, putting paper through to learn the stitches. In addition to working with the many fabrics donated, volunteers creatively up-cycle donations of gently used clothing and tablecloths. Malloy found a hand-crocheted white tablecloth that had a hole in it, and salvaged the good parts to make pillow covers. Cordoned off by a row of bureaus containing the carefully sorted fabrics is an area filled with industrial machines mounted on stands. This is where Terri Farkas works. She started as a HomeFront client, and is now employed one day a week as a production sewer. She also fulfills custom orders for pillow covers and table runners. “Even when I was not required to be here I kept coming,” she says of the joy she finds in her work. Traylor also runs ArtSpace, the HomeFront program that helps women living in shelters build self-esteem through art making. ArtJam is the annual fundraising art exhibit for ArtSpace held in a popup store in Palmer Square — this year it will take place May 19June 6 at 19 Hulfish St., with an opening reception May 19, 6-9 p.m. This is a premiere destination for purchasing items made through Sewing Space, in addition to occasional open houses. Sewing Space has set up tables at craft fairs in the area, and some of the volunteers approach stores on both sides of the river to carry some of the merchandise. It is a challenge to find the right balance

of what clients can produce in a reasonable amount of time with what will sell well — the wine totes, with appliques of a goblet, for example, are good sellers. Customers fill them with wine and give them as hostess gifts. “I want to use a skill I have and do something for others,” says Jane Fetter, a Lawrence resident, textile artist and retired teacher who volunteers at Sewing Space. “I am amazed by the creative new ideas sparked here.” She holds up a pillow that is made from an upcycled sweater, and an adult clothing protector (bib) that the group produces in bulk for nursing homes. “With the up-cycled clothing, we show clients how they can get something from the free store and make it more interesting.” A wooden rack is draped with silk ties that will be used to make handbag straps or rosettes. Traylor has worked with manufacturers who donate odd lots, including wedding dresses and evening gowns. “Our 2017 goal is ‘furnish the future,’” she says, describing plans to hire another sewer for alterations and custom work. What HomeFront clients want more than anything is to have a job and to be self-sufficient.

Eighty percent arrive without a high school degree, and HomeFront first helps them earn a GED and find housing. But four walls and furniture are not necessarily all the components of a home — through ArtSpace and SewingSpace, they learn to personalize their homes and build pride of place. “It’s empowering for our clients to have nice things they’ve created,” Traylor says. “We’re trying to teach life skills, focus, problem solving, math and money management skills. It’s nice to see them build self-esteem as they build amazing products. They are making money and learning the business aspect, and they can take away a skill, be it to make a hem or children’s clothes. Volunteers help to set up their apartment, and work with colors and paint and measure their windows for curtains. We teach them that you don‘t need a studio, your creative space can be at the kitchen table.”

Items made at Sewing Space will be available for sale at ArtJam, 19 Hulfish St., Palmer Square, May 19-June 6. An opening reception is scheduled for May 19, 6-9 p.m. For more information, go to www.artspacenj.org.

WHAT’S IN STORE

Rich Fisher

The freshest juice around Arlee’s Raw Blends is devoted to health, taste, and its customers

Brian Moore looked around one day and said to himself “Hey wait a minute, what if. . .?“ And the rest is history, in a delicious and healthy way. In his late 20s, Moore did his health-conscious wife, Arlee, a favor by making her natural, preservative-free fruit and vegetable juices to take to work. Arlee shared some with her coworkers, who shared them with their friends. Somehow, word got out and Brian began making them for his co-workers and the workload increased. “I’m making juices all night long in our little condo,” Moore recalled. “Finally it was like ‘Hey wait, let me just see if there’s a market for this.’” There was. The result was Arlee’s Raw Blends — named after Mrs. Moore, of course — which opened its doors at 246 Nassau St. in Princeton, April 1, 2015 and has created quite a stir in the Princeton area. Arlee’s has become so popular that Moore and his partner/sister Paula Taylor are looking to open stores throughout Mercer County, and as far as Freehold, Red Bank, Lambertville and New Hope. “We want everybody to take a moment and think about looking toward a healthy lifestyle,“ Taylor said. “We’re looking to expand and grow. We want to be the Starbucks of juices. We want to bring this to every community.” There’s a simple reason for Arlee’s rampant success — it has solved the age-old secret of providing products that taste good and are good for you. “This is the purest food you basically can buy,” Moore said. “We capture everything. We‘re GMO-free, we’re organic. You can really trust us with our product if you’re looking for a nice, healthy meal or beverage.” “We are 100 percent organic, 100 percent raw, vegan,” Taylor said. “We’re GMO free with our juice cleanses, salads, snacks, desserts. Our slogan is ‘Taste the love.’ We work very hard to make sure our product is desired by everyone.” As an avowed vegetable hater, take this author’s word for it — the Kale juice mixed with apples and several other fruits is truly yummy. “It’s just like making a cake,” Paula said. “We’re very good at blending. We pay attention to the taste. We want our juices to taste good. I drink juice every day so I want to make sure what I’m drinking tastes good, and we take a tremendous amount of time in making sure no matter what juice we think of, or create, that it has to taste good. “We work on it, we have everyone in our

with Paula at age 6, and the siblings had already developed an avid devotion to healthy eating and living a healthy lifestyle. The juices started to take on a life of their own with Moore’s creations. In 1997, Brian was part of the last graduating class at West Windsor-Plainsboro High School, before it became WW-P South. He attended the University of Maryland Eastern Shore and majored in hotel/restaurant management. Moore got a few internships, one at a country club, and another with Hyatt hotels, which led to his first job working at a Hyatt in Manhattan as a purchasing manager. But from being on the farm so often, and seeing how farmers were in charge of their own fate and their own work rate, he yearned to be an entrepreneur. He re-connected with Arlee, whom he knew from college, during a chance meeting in Philadelphia and they got married in 2011. They eventually moved to Lawrenceville and Brian became a realtor in Princeton. He had several ideas to become his own boss, such as running a distribution warehouse in Philly, selling artwork, or serving as a personal shopper in New York City for those who lived in remote places. Photo by Rich Fisher “I was all over,” Brian said with a laugh. Paula shot those ideas down, and through it Siblings Brian Moore and Paula Taylor all Moore made juices. Arlee became interested in a juice diet when she read the book “Martha’s opened Arlee’s Raw Blends in 2015.

our philosophy that we should sell it by two days because most people will take it home and leave it for a couple days. It’s just our nature to do that.” The other reason the quality of the juice dwindles after five days is that there are no preservatives in these juices to help extend the shelf life. “Foods have become more processed, with more preservatives in them,” Taylor said. “We’re learning that people are becoming sicker. and [we’re] becoming aware of the contamination of our food source. It’s not as though it hasn’t always been there but they’re taking more interest in their food supply and their health and wellness. If you want to live a long life, you want to live a healthy long life. You want to feel good.” Which is why Kale juices are the biggest sellers. They provide a necessary dosage of vegetables with a helping of fruits to help formulate different flavors. “When you drink one bottle of Kale you’re getting your correct serving of vegetables for the day,” Paula said. And just what are the benefits? “You get tons of energy,” Brian said. “I don’t even wake up to an alarm clock. I’ve noticed if you don’t eat well, you’re going to be sluggish. You’re not going to wake up on time. Once you drink this, you get tons of energy. It’s very vibrant, it helps your skin. It prepares your body from the inside out.” While Moore and several others make the juices, Paula focuses on the food. The items are as varied and healthy as they are tasty. Along with soups and salads, there are kale crackers, dried fruit, granola bars, power granola cereal, cashew non-dairy cheesecake, flour-less chocolate cake, dairy- and sugar-free vanilla and chocolate pudding, fresh fruit with cashew puddings, sprouted almonds and numerous other items. Brian and Paula make sure their employees are all health conscious, and train them on just what benefits the products. The owners also take turns behind the register to interact with their clientele. “They’re telling us what they like,” Taylor said. “We think of Arlee’s as a community of a source of knowledge on health and wellness. Not only are we educating a community, this particular community comes in and educates us as well. “They’re telling us the latest, what they’ve created. They’re bringing things in that they have purchased — some organic produce — and they’ll say, ‘Taste this, tell me what you think.’ St., Princeton.

The Week of March 3, 2017

LOOSE ENDS

Pam Hersh

It’s all about family and community

I encountered two surprises — one happy and one not so happy — a week after I wrote a column last August about Princeton artist, art teacher, and arts entrepreneur Priscilla Snow Algava. The happy occurrence was reconnecting with a long-lost friend, award-winning watercolor artist Sandy O’Connor, whose life has intersected in a profound way with Priscilla’s. After living in Massachusetts and California for a few years, Sandy and her husband, Steve, moved back to Princeton, considered by both to be home where the O’Connor family resided for 17 years. She told me she was working out of Priscilla Algava’s Witherspoon Street Studio at 1 ½ Witherspoon Street, next to Small World Coffee, above the empty Princeton Army & Navy store space. She not only was painting, but also was helping Priscilla to enrich the Princeton arts scene with the WOW (Wondrous on Witherspoon) “pop-up” art gallery to which Priscilla was so passion-

ately devoted. The not-so-happy news was that Priscilla’s studio space was available because Priscilla was engaged in an intense non-arts project — fighting for her life. On Aug. 24, 2016, the lives of Priscilla and her friends and family and fans were “irrevocably changed,” said her daughter Alisa, when Priscilla received a shocking diagnosis of advanced endometrial cancer. Now back to the happy news, a portrait of family and community support for a “truly incredible woman,” said Sandy. Priscilla’s most recent CT scan — after major surgery and six chemo-therapy sessions — “showed that everything looks good,” said Priscilla’s daughter Carin. “Now Mom has ‘graduated to surveillance’ with the next scan in three months.” This good news, however, was part of a larger picture of how friends within the Princeton arts community and Priscilla’s family members rallied around her and joined her

HEALTH MATTERS

Her daughters Alisa and Carin on the evening of Feb. 24, completed a cycling event, Cycling for Survival in New York City, to raise money for rare cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering. Team Priscilla raised more than $7,408, and donations still

were coming in. At the conclusion of her daughters’ race, Priscilla announced that next year she intended to ride along with the members of her family in the same fund-raising event. People can donate through the end of march at mskcc.convio.net. The enormous everyday

support (meals, transport, phone calls, visits) from her friends and acquaintances “illustrated compassion at its best,” said Alisa. Priscilla’s colleagues not only helped with the mundane tasks associated with living, but equally important gave her the support to keep her spirit alive through her painting and the promotion of the art of other members of the Princeton arts community. “Although she felt awful, Priscilla never stopped engaging in the Princeton arts scene,“ said Sandy. She continued to show her work throughout the region, and is among the artists in the current exhibit “Nature’s Healing Gifts,” on view at the D&R Greenway’s Johnson Education Center through April 7. Priscilla was particularly determined to sustain the WOW Gallery project at 14 ½ Witherspoon Street. “Thanks to the amazing benevolence of landlord Jeff Siegel, the temporary gallery space that housed the pop-up show last spring was still made avail-

able to us,“ Sandy said. “Priscilla helped plan the 2016 holiday show and recent Valentine’s Day show. If the space remains unrented, perhaps there will be a 2017 spring show from Communiversity through Princeton Reunions.” Sandy, who sold 14 paintings during the Christmas and Valentine’s pop-up exhibits, feels honored to be able to help Priscilla remain a viable force in the Princeton arts community. The former director of Creative Services for Bloomberg L.P., Sandy got started on a serious painting career late in life after she retired from her “day” job at Bloomberg. Although the realism of Sandy’s watercolors is inspired by the works of Wyeth, Homer, Turner, Sergeant, and Hopper, “it is Priscilla Algava, who sees beauty and possibility in everyone and everything, that inspires me to be a better human being,” said Sandy.

Drinking poses increased health risks for women

Heavy drinking among women has risen steadily in the United States, and as a result, women are at increased risk for a range of dangerous health conditions. There are a number of factors that may lead women to problem drinking, including social pressures, stress, anxiety and depression. Princeton House Behavioral Health, a division of Princeton HealthCare System, provides evidencebased treatment for women who may be using alcohol to cope with emotional issues. Riskier for women

Alcohol affects women differently than men. As the Centers or Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes, although men are more likely to drink in larger amounts, gender differences in body structure and chemistry cause women to absorb more alcohol and take longer to break it down and remove it from their bodies. In other words, women are affected faster and longer by alcohol than men. Additionally, heavy drinking is more likely to damage a woman’s health than a man’s, even if a woman has been drinking less alcohol or for a shorter length of time than a man. Specific health problems cited by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and

Alcoholism (NIAA) include: • Liver disease. Women are more likely than men to develop alcoholic hepatitis (liver inflammation) and to die from cirrhosis. • Brain disease. Research suggests that women are more vulnerable than men to alcohol-induced brain damage. • Cancer. Many studies report that heavy drinking increases the risk for breast cancer. Even moderate drinking is correlated with higher risk of breast cancer. Alcohol is also linked to cancers of the digestive tract and of the head and neck. • Heart disease. Chronic heavy drinking is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease. Among heavy drinkers, women are more susceptible to alcohol-related heart disease.

that they had at least one heavy drinking day in the past year, up from 14.5 percent just two years prior. Heavy drinking — or binge drinking — is defined as having four or more drinks in one day. What is a drink? In the United States, a standard drink is generally defined as:• 12 ounces of beer • 5 ounces of wine • 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits Dietary guidelines established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture define moderate drinking as no more than one drink a day for women. Additionally, the NIAA also defines how much drinking may put women at risk for developing alcohol dependence. To stay lowrisk, women should limit alcohol consumption to no more than seven drinks per week and no more than three drinks on any single day.

And perhaps most alarming, female alcoholics have death rates 50 to 100 percent higher than those of male alcoholics, including deaths from suicides, alcohol-related accidents, heart disease and stroke, and liver cirrhosis, according to the NIAA. Yet, despite the risks, among women who drink, 13 percent have more than seven drinks per week. Moreover, in 2015, 17.4 percent of women reported

The reasons why some women drink and develop problems with alcohol are varied. No one sets out to become dependent on or addicted to alcohol. In many cases, a woman thinks her drinking is OK, until one day it’s not. What is clear is that women who suffer from depression or anxiety are at greater risk for developing alcohol-related problems

Why women drink

than those who do not. Studies have also found that women who have suffered childhood sexual abuse are more likely to have drinking problems, as are women who have trouble with their closest relationships. What’s more, women are at greater risk for depression and anxiety than men, in turn putting them at greater risk for problem drinking. Signs and symptoms of depression include:• Persistent sad, anxious, or “empty” mood • Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism • Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness • Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities • Decreased energy, fatigue, being “slowed down” • Difficulty concentrating, remembering, making decisions • Difficulty sleeping, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping • Appetite and/or weight changes • Thoughts of death or suicide, suicide attempts • Restlessness, irritability Signs and symptoms of anxiety include:• Feelings of fear and dread about things that may happen now or in the future • Avoiding everyday activities that you used to enjoy • Weakness • Shortness of breath • Rapid heart rate • Nausea

• Upset stomach • Hot flashes • Dizziness When to Get Help If you experience symptoms of depression or anxiety, talk to your doctor. Often, they can be treated with mental health counseling, medication or a combination of the two. In addition, if you are struggling with alcohol abuse or alcohol addiction, seek help. The NIAA suggests answering these four questions to help determine if you or someone close to you has a drinking problem: • Have you ever felt you should cut down on your drinking? • Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking? • Have you ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking? • Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover? One “yes” answer suggests a possible alcohol problem. If you responded “yes” to more than one question, it is very likely you have a problem with alcohol. If you answered “no” to

all of the questions, but your drinking is interfering with your job, relationships, health or the law, you may still have a problem that requires attention. As part of its outpatient Women’s Program, Princeton House Behavioral Health offers to help women in acute emotional distress increase their selfcompassion and coping skills and regain control over their lives. Princeton House Behavioral Health offers inpatient and outpatient programs for men, women, children and adolescents, as well as specialized programs that are customized to meet the needs of women. Boardcertified psychiatrists and skilled professionals work together to provide the highest level of care for people of all ages who are struggling with mental health issues, substance abuse problems, or a combination of both. Treatment is available in Princeton, Hamilton, North Brunswick, Eatontown and Moorestown. For more information, go to www.princetonhouse.org or call 888-4371610. Nicole Orro, L.P.C., is a licensed professional counselor and licensed clinical alcohol and drug counselor. She is the director of Princeton House Behavioral Health’s Hamilton outpatient site.
