East Windsor recognizes employees By Michael V. Crismali Correspondent

Each year East Windsor Township acknowledges the Employee of the Year from three departments. Administration, Public Works and Law & Public Safety are all vital pieces of a smooth running township, and at the latest town council meeting, the outstanding employees from 2016 were recognized in front of a packed house of family, friends and colleagues. Mayor Janice Mironov explained the process of how each winner is selected. She said there is a period of time where township employees make nominations on who they think is worthy of the award. From those nominations, a winner is chosen, making it an award earned among peers. From Administration, Karen Theer is the 2016 Employee of the Year. Karen came to East Windsor having more than 33 years of experience in providing social services and programs for senior citizens. Since coming to East Windsor, Karen has parlayed that experience and made an impact on the East Windsor Senior Center. She has been responsible for many new programs, activities, creative ideas and many trips, making the East Windsor Senior Center the envy of many surrounding towns. Under Karen’s watch, the Senior Center has evolved into a vibrant and exciting facility, sought after by so many East Windsor seniors. Karen is described as someone who is kindhearted, compassionate and enthusiastic. “I feel very blessed to come to my job every day. I am passionate about making a difference in people’s lives,” she said. From Public Works, the 2016 Employee of the Year is Nicholas Hodul. Nick came to East Windsor

Dollhouse and Miniature Show The Hightstown Woman's Club had its 38th Annual Dollhouse & Miniature Show & Sale Feb. 25 at the First Presbyterian Church in Hightstown, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Twenty-five dealers from various areas were on hand displaying their wares. A king/queen-sized handcrafted Yellow Brick Road quilt valued at $750 was also raffled by the club. Door prizes were available as well as homemade cakes and cookies, all sold to benefit the Woman's Club civic improvement projects.

Solar system for East Windsor police/court building now fully operational

The new Solar Photovoltaic System for the police/court building at 80 One Mile Road has been completed, energized and is now in full operation. The system consists of a 448kilowatt solar array, to the back of the building on land donated to the Township for this purpose by McGraw Hill. According to East Windsor Mayor Janice Mironov, the solar array is designed to generate 577,093 kilowatt hours of electricity annually, offsetting nearly

100 percent of the police/court building’s energy use, and resulting in a savings to the township of approximately $527,933 over the 15-year term of the agreement. The township selected the site noting it is the most energy intensive municipal building user as it operates on a 24/7 basis, and therefore provides the greatest opportunity to realize financial savings. “This project, completed at no cost to our taxpayers and delivering more than a half-million dollar cost reduction, is a prime example of going green and saving green,” said the mayor. The solar system was designed and built by Dobtol Construction in conjunction with Altus Power America, which will operate and maintain the solar system, at its own expense, during the term of the agreement. Under the terms of the Power Purchase Agreement with Altus Power America, East Windsor will pay Altus $0.0585/kilowatt-hour, approximately half of the rate the township currently pays to Jersey Central Power & Light. After the initial 15-year period, the township

If the township chooses to extend the agreement, the savings to East Windsor taxpayers could exceed $1 million. During the review, Mayor

Mironov and council members required the project be well buffered from surrounding views and aesthetically agreeable to the neighborhood, by ensuring the height and angling of the panels was well addressed and sufficient landscaping was installed. A sub-

East Windsor invites participation in Community Garden

East Windsor Township is inviting participation in Community Garden for 2017. The Township Community Garden provides residents with the opportunity to rent a plot of land to plant their own fruits and vegetables. The Township Community Garden is located on Disbrow Hill Road open space property, adjacent to the Disbrow Hill playing fields and across from Etra Lake Park. Gardeners will be assigned a plot which will be identified by a num-

bering system. Applications for participation in the Community Garden are now available, with initial planting projected to take place in early April 2017. “The successful Community Garden, which is an exciting opportunity for local residents to reap the benefits of planting their own produce, is further affirmation of East Windsor’s commitment to a greener environment and sustainable community,’ said Mayor Janice Mironov.

“The Community Garden is an environmentally friendly initiative which offers unique benefits and educational opportunities to residents of all ages to learn basic business principles and to share valued community goals. We encourage residents to participate in this fun educational and productive community program by planting their own garden.” Detailed information regarding the Community Garden will be provided to

participants in writing and during an orientation where there will be a full review of the rules and guidelines, information for access to their plot, and guidance regarding how to start their new garden. For an application or additional information, visit the township website at H Y P E R L I N K “ h t t p : / / w w w. e a s t windsor.nj.us” www.eastwindsor.nj.us or call the municipal clerk’s office at (609) 443-4000, ext. 238. The Community Garden

represents another example of East Windsor’s continued sustainable community efforts. The Township achieved Sustainable Jersey Silver Level Certification in 2016 for several green initiatives including creation of a farmland preservation plan, inventory and upgrade of municipal buildings for energy efficiency, community recycling/paper shredding events, Buy Local campaign, “Cut it and Leave it” program, backyard composting program,

tree protection ordinance, environmental assessment ordinance, sustainable land use commitment, green building policy and community outreach programs. Sustainable Jersey is a certification program that supports community efforts to enhance the environment by providing New Jersey municipalities with tools and training, and financial incentives to support and reward communities as they pursue sustainability programs.

Energy efficiency saves money, land - and creates jobs By Michele S. Byers

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. Let’s increase energy efficiency to save money, save land, reduce emissions that cause health problems … and create jobs!

CAPITOL NEWS AND COMMENT Measure will allow pharmacies to dispense antidote without Rx

tional Endowment for the Arts. “The arts have been behind the revitalization of many communities that were once blighted. Eliminating the NEA not only threatens artists and arts organizations, but communities that benefit from having a vibrant arts community,” added Vainieri Huttle. “I urge the Trump administration to consider not just the cultural, but economic impact of this proposal and reverse course.”

Legislation sponsored by Assembly Democrats Daniel Benson, Valerie Vainieri Huttle, Vince Mazzeo, Raj Mukherji and Joann Downey designed to ensure that opioid antidotes are available to help prevent overdoses was approved by an Assembly panel on Feb. 27. The bill (A2334) would expand public access to opioid antidotes, such as naloxone hydrochloride, by amending the provisions of the “Overdose Prevention Act” (OPA) in order to authorize pharmacists to supply opioid antidotes to patients without prescriptions under a standing order that would be required to be issued by the Department of Health. “This bill takes a different approach in permitting individual pharmacists to dispense naloxone without a prescription, pursuant to a standing order issued by the Department of Health,” said Benson (D-Mercer / Middlesex). “Ultimately, this means the possibility of more lives saved if a pharmacist doesn’t have to obtain an individual order from a physician each time.” Currently, a number of large chain pharmacies, including Walgreens and CVS, have announced that they are making naloxone available to anyone without a prescription through what appears to be a standing order issued by a doctor, which is currently authorized under the OPA. The bill stipulates, in particular, that a licensed pharmacist may dispense an opioid antidote to any patient who is deemed to be capable of administering the same, regardless of whether that patient presents an individual prescription for the antidote. Protocols would have to be consistent with the provisions of the OPA, and must require a pharmacist to determine that the patient seeking the antidote is capable of administering the same to an overdose victim in an emergency. Any pharmacist who acts in good faith, and in accordance with the bill’s requirements, in supplying an opioid antidote to a patient without a prescription, would be immune under the OPA from any civil or criminal liability or any professional disciplinary action stemming from such act. The legislation was approved by the Assembly Health and Senior Services Committee.

An Assembly panel approved legislation Feb. 27 sponsored by Assembly Democrats Troy Singleton (D-Burlington), Jerry Green (D-Middlesex / Somerset / Union), Raj Mukherji (D-Hudson) and Pamela Lampitt (D-Camden / Burlington) to help create more affordable housing. The poor and middle class in particular have seen their incomes fall between 1990 and 2014. New Jersey is among the states where inequality has grown the most. This growing income disparity, combined with the effects of the Great Recession and the burst of the housing bubble in the last decade, have created systematic disincentives to financing low and very low income housing when the need for this type of housing is increasing. This bill hopes to address this imbalance. The bill (A3551) would provide up to $600 million in tax credits available to developers to construct certain affordable housing projects. In order to qualify for the tax credit, a developer must construct a residential project in which at least 50 percent of the residential units are constructed and reserved for very low-, low-, and moderate-income housing. Out of those units, 13 percent must be reserved for very low-income housing. Developers would apply for the tax credits in the same manner they apply for grants under the State Economic Redevelopment and Growth Grant program. Very low-income housing means housing reserved for occupancy by, households with a gross household income equal to 30 percent or less of the median gross household income for households of the same size within the housing region in which the qualified residential project is located. The bill was approved by the Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee.

Bill opposing Trump’s plan to kill NEA clears panel

Legislation approved to protect NJ drinking water

Legislation sponsored by Assemblywoman Valerie Vainieri Huttle (D-Bergen) opposing the Trump administration’s proposal to eliminate the National Endowment for the Arts, and calling on the president, his administration, and Congress to instead increase support for the arts was released Feb. 27 by the Assembly Tourism, Gaming and the Arts committee. The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is an independent federal agency that funds, promotes, and strengthens the creative capacity of communities by providing all Americans with diverse opportunities for arts participation. As part Michele S. Byers is executive director of of its plans to cut government spending, the Trump administhe New Jersey Conservation Foundation in tration is considering a proposal to completely eliminate the Morristown. NEA, despite that at $146 million, the organization’s annual budget, constitutes a very small fraction of the United States budget. “The National Endowment for the Arts has been essential to the survival and continued existence of local artists and arts organizawww.windsorheightsherald.com tions in every state through grant funding,” said Vainieri Huttle. www.cranburypress.com “This proposal not only betrays the nation’s long-standing efforts Bernard Kilgore, Group Publisher 1955-1967 to foster artistic expression, which is vital to our spirit and democMary Louise Kilgore Beilman, Board Chairman 1967-2005 racy, it also threatens our local communities that currently benefit from the economic activity generated by the funded arts and enMike Morsch Donna Kenyon tertainment programs.” Regional Editor Executive Editor In New Jersey, the NEA annually awards about $800,000 in Joseph Eisele Michele Nesbihal funding to the State Council on the Arts as the key state arts agency Publisher General Manager for distribution to artistic projects all over the state, and also dismnesbihal@centraljersey.com burses a significant amount of funds directly to artists and arts organizations in this state, fostering not only local arts and culture 145 Witherspoon Street Princeton, N.J. 08542 but also the local economy.

Affordable housing bill approved by Assembly panel

The Senate Environment and Energy Committee approved legislation Feb. 27 that would help ensure the safety and reliability of the state’s drinking water for New Jersey’s families. The bill, S2834, authored by Senate President Steve Sweeney and Senator Linda Greenstein, entitled the Water Quality Accountability Act, would better protect the state’s water supplies and boost infrastructure investments. “As we’ve seen in the news this year, the safety and integrity of the nation’s drinking water and the systems that provide it are in jeopardy, and this is something we simply cannot allow to happen in New Jersey,” said Senator Sweeney. The key requirements of the bill are: * Field testing of valves and hydrants in accordance with industry best practices, such as those implemented by the Board of Public Utilities for water purveyors it regulates. * Implementation of a cybersecurity program, such as the BPU’s already established New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell. * Establishment of an action plan for Notices of Violation received by public water systems. * Development of an asset management plan including water main renewal that meets the minimum criteria of a 150-year replacement cycle, as well as production facilities. * Written certification from responsible corporate officer of the public water system (if privately held), or the executive director (if an authority) or the mayor or chief executive officer of the municipality (if municipally owned) of each water purveyor annually to confirm the adherence to the requirements of this law. Recognizing the importance of safe water supplies nationally, Congress just took action to address the need. The U.S. House approved the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act to address the Nation’s water infrastructure and resources needs. The WIIN Act will help improve drinking water resources, water storage, minimize droughts, and flood controls. It is one of the more significant actions taken by Congress in recent years.

short time as an East Windsor township employee, according to the mayor. From Law & Public Safety, the 2016 employee of the year is Russ Hazzon. Russ began his career with East Windsor in February 1987 as a part-time radio officer. In April 2007 he was promoted to systems administrator support services and record supervisor. Mayor Mironov described Russ as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cog in the wheels of East Windsor Township,â&#x20AC;? adding that every employee of East Windsor township has utilized Russâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expertise at one time or another. He has been responsible for maintaining township and police department computer systems, and the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new website would never have been able to launch without him. Russ is one of only two employees ever to win the Employee of the Year three times, further evidence of his consistency and dedication to his role East Windsor Township. Mayor Mironov explained that a municipal government canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t function correctly without the sys-

Township in 2010, starting out as a seasonal laborer before transitioning to a fulltime employee. Through hard work and dedication, Nick was promoted to driver-laborer in December 2015. What many may not realize about Public Works is just how vital the services are. The reason the streets are clear, the garbage is picked up, recycling services are delivered and the snow is plowed is because of the hard work put in by Nick and his colleagues. These are labor intensive jobs that are necessary for the well-being of township residents. Mayor Mironov said that she has been approached by many East Windsor residents about the professional and kind nature of all Public Works employees, and that Nick Hodul embodies all of those characteristics. He is often praised by his colleagues as hardworking, dependable, and that he takes pride in the work he does. He has made a very real impression in his relatively

According to his colleagues, Russ has tremendous skills to share, and is always enthusiastic to do so. He is a jack of all trades. Mayor Mironov reiterated how important it is in municipal government that

everyone work hard and provide a high level of service to the community which they serve. This makes it equally important to then recognize the employees who embody those qualities the way that Karen Theer, Nicholas Hodul, and Russ Hazzon do.

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.

FAMILY FUN By Keith Loria

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

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

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-

ures in American music.” The exhibition, which is on display through May 21, features more than 40 images of Springsteen, as well as video interviews with the photographers. 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

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.

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.

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 Â½ 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

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 Â½ 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.
