Regional school district introduces $84.4 million budget By Frank Mustac Contributor

Taxpayers under the purview of the Hopewell Valley Regional School District will either see their tax rate remain flat or notice a slight uptick in their costs, depending on where they live after the Board of Education unanimously passed its spending plan. Following a presentation and final hearing by Superintendent of Schools Thomas Smith, the board unanimously passed the $84.4 million budget for the 2017-18 school year on Monday. According to district officials, property owners in both Hopewell

and Pennington Boroughs will see a flat tax rate from last year at $1.54 per $100 of assessed property value and $1.55 per $100 of assessed property value, respectively. Hopewell Township residents, however, will see a property tax rate increase of three cents from the previous year, going from $1.55 per $100 of assessed valuation to $1.58. If a household Hopewell Borough was assessed at the 2016 average of $403,752, they paid 6,218 in school taxes. At this year’s average assessment of $403,995, that same household can expect to pay $6,222.

A household in Pennington assessed at $300,000 in both years would pay approximately $4,650 in school taxes. A Hopewell Township household valued at $300,000 paid approximately $4,650 in school taxes last year. With the three cent increase, that same household, valued at that same amount, will pay approximately 4,740 in school taxes this year, marking a $90 increase. In order to support the budget, the school district will collect a tax levy of $70.7 million, which marks a 1.9 percent increase from the previous school year. State law mandates that a two percent cap

on how much a school district’s tax levy for its general fund may be increased over the previous year. The 2017-18 user friendly budget is available on the Hopewell Valley Regional School District website. According to Superintendent of Schools Thomas Smith, the proposed budget allows the school district to maintain all existing student programs and services. “Something we pride ourselves in as a school district is our commitment to the whole child,” Smith said, “I want to remind you that something that the board of education has supported and con-

tinues to support through this budget is that we have over 100 clubs and activities for our students in grades six through 12.” During his budget presentation, the superintendent focused on the “return on investment“ for the amount of money taxpayers contribute to the district’s six schools. “There is something for everyone,” he said explaining that the school board approves new clubs on a regular basis. “We embrace that. We encourage that. We know the importance of students connecting to our schools.” Smith said the district prima-

Homicide under investigation by local detectives

Circumstances surrounding an alleged murder in a Washington Crossing-Pennington Road residence are currently being investigated by detectives from the Hopewell Township Police Department and the Mercer County Homicide Task Force. According to officials, the Hopewell police responded to a call from the home at approximately 8:30 p.m. yesterday, April 25, after receiving a call from the homeowner. The woman’s body was found by police a short time after arriving at the scene. An investigation of the immediate area showed that there was no forced entry into the home, leading investigators to believe that the death as an isolated inci-

dent. Hopewell Township Chief Lance Maloney declined to comment on the incident. Authorities said on Wednesday morning that they are currently working to positively identify the woman and won’t release that information until the next of kin has been notified. An autopsy is scheduled for this afternoon. Anyone with information is asked to call the Mercer County Homicide Task Force at 609-9896406 or the Trenton Crime Stoppers tip line at 609-278-8477. Those wishing to text a tip can send a message labeled TCSTIPS to Trenton CrimeStoppers at 274637.

Timberlane principal appointed as new head of curriculum By Frank Mustac Contributor

Rosetta Treece, the current principal at Timberlane Middle School, has been appointed to the job of director of curriculum and instruction in the Hopewell Valley Regional School District. Treece, who will replace Christine Laquidara. received approval to take on the position from the board of education on April 24. Treece’s effective date of employment and salary are to be determined, according to school officials. Before she became the Tim-

berlane principal in 2014, Treece previously served as the school’s vice principal for two years. Prior to coming to Hopewell Valley, she served as vice principal of Northern Burlington County Regional High School. Treece’s replacement as principal has not yet been determined. Laquidara, who is retiring on July 1, was appointed assistant superintendent of schools and director of curriculum and instruction in 2014. She has been with the district since 2001, serving as a kindergarten-through-fifth- grade vice principal and as principal of Hopewell Elementary School.

The school board on April 24 also appointed Paulette DiNardo as director of pupil services. Her effective date of employment and salary are to be determined. DiNardo has worked in the school district since 2009, and currently serves as supervisor of special education. Lisa Wolff, the school board president, congratulated Treese and DiNardo on their appointments. “I am really excited about this,” Wolff said on April 24. “I think that both Paulette and Rosetta have done a great job with our district. They have already

given us a hint at what they are going to be doing.” “I think that the board of education and the school district is really coming away with a big win on this,” she said. “I will mention that while Paulette is getting promoted to the director of pupil services now, it is no surprised to any of us. She has been working very closely with Deb (Deborah) Batchelor, so I’m really excited that the transition should be pretty smooth.” Batchelor is the current director of pupil services. “I’ve also had the pleasure of working with Dr. Treese,” Wolff

said. “While she has been principal, she has visited our (school board’s) education committee. I believe she is truly an educational leader, and I think she is going to offer a lot to (her new) role.” School board member Adam Sawicki, who serves as the chairman of the school board’s personnel committee, recognized science teacher Samuel Karlin who will retire at the end of the academic year. Karlin, who teaches at Central High School, has been with the district since 2002.

carpentry, understanding electrical, understanding plumbing, understanding anything about, for example, home maintenance those are jobs that cannot be outsourced.” Pointing to an assertion that “a lot of schools do not offer” practical skills in their curriculum, Wolff said the district has given students an alternative route to life after school. “I received compliments on that fact that we have a class called ‘Home Maintenance’ where you can just spend a semester learning about all the different things you need to do. Those are skills that a lot of people forget about that are lost,” she said. “That’s a priority that we have.”

STATE WE’RE IN

Vernal pools: Now you see ’em, now you don’t

By Michele S. Byers

If you were a frog or salamander, where would you lay your eggs? In a pond filled with fish that feast on eggs and larvae, or a pond without fish? If amphibians had the ability to choose, undoubtedly they would pick fish-free ponds where the odds of their offspring surviving are better. It seems as though they’ve made the choice. Several species of frogs and salamanders breed exclusively in fishless ponds - known as vernal pools, intermittent ponds, ephemeral ponds or temporary ponds. This state we’re in has an estimated 3,000 to 5,000 vernal pools that get their water from snowmelt, rain and rising groundwater. Spring is the season when they’re usually full - hence, the name vernal, meaning “of, in, or appropriate to spring.” By mid-summer, most of these seasonal pools dry up. Vernal pools can be natural or manmade, large or small, with ponded water for at least two consecutive months between March and September. Because they’re dry for most of the year, fish can’t survive. Seven New Jersey amphibians are entirely reliant on vernal pools. They include state-endangered Eastern tiger salamanders and blue-spotted salamanders; marbled and Jefferson salamanders, both species of special concern; and spotted salamanders, wood frogs and Eastern spadefoot toads. Another 16 New Jersey amphibians breed in vernal pools but are more flexible and can sometimes reproduce in pools with fish. These species include state-endangered Southern gray treefrogs; Pine Barrens treefrogs and long-tailed salamanders, both state-threatened species ; carpenter frogs and Fowler’s toads, both species of special concern; and Northern gray treefrogs, Northern spring peepers, bullfrogs, and four-toed salamanders. Vernal pools are also important for wading birds, turtles, snakes and mammals, as well as rare plants and invertebrates like fairy shrimp and dragonflies. Turtles found in New Jersey’s vernal pools include wood turtles, a state-threatened species; and spotted turtles, a species of special concern. Most vernal pools are not protected by wetlands regulations and face many challenges, including pollution, filling for development projects outside of the regulated Pinelands and Highlands regions, and damage from off-road vehicles. On public lands for the last few decades, irresponsible riders have ripped through vernal pools during both wet and dry seasons leaving deep tire tracks, crushing rare animals and destroying plants. When vernal pools are turned into mud pits, our rare species can’t reproduce. These creatures are hard-wired to follow the same path each year to breed and lay eggs, so they’re out of luck when vernal pools are destroyed. To learn more about vernal pools, go to the state Division of Fish & Game webpage at http://www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw /ensp/vernalpool.htm. And for more information about preserving New Jersey’s land and natural resources, visit the New Jersey Conservation Foundation website at www.njconservation.org or contact me at info@njconservation.org.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Former curator left on her own terms To the editor: The Trustees of The Hopewell Museum recognize Mrs. Beverly Weidl for her many years of service to the Hopewell community. Bev tendered her letter of resignation as longtime curator to the Board of Trustees on February 28, which was accepted at the board’s regular meeting that evening. Bev took on the position of curator in 1969 and continued in this capacity for a span of nearly a half century. Over the decades she has toured with thousands of school children and visitors to the town. As the museum’s primary public representative, she enthusiastically imparted her knowledge of the Hopewell area and its inhabitants to countless others. We thank Bev for her long and notable service to our organization and to our fellow Hopewellians, and wish her all the best in her future endeavors. David Mackey Hopewell Museum President

Partisanship driving budget discussion To the editor:

for some “residents” to remember those simple facts? Oh, wait, those residents are us-versusthem, our party do-or-die, dyed-in-the-wool township Democrat leaders. Mayor Kuchinsky and his 2017 34 percent emergency fund grab. Again, the expected group makes the expected distortions along with the expected meanspirited attacks in the expected letters to the editor (Residents offer support of Hopewell Township budget, HVN April 21; Introduced budget an improvement, HVN April 21). These are not just “residents,” but the Democrats’ campaign manager for the last three election cycles; Democrat municipal county committee members, both current and former; as well as other committed township Democrats. Who else would call raiding our rainy day fund “fiscal discipline?” Who else would call an almost 2 percent tax increase “lower taxes?” Who else would attack HVN for airing a common sense point of view? In the future, when we need the $4 million in our emergency fund that Mayor Kuchinsky and his team are spending on a close to six percent spending increase, which is over two times the rate of inflation, we will look back on this risky budget and wonder how a small group of political partisans got away with it.

Mayor Sandom and her 2014 7 percent tax increase. Mayor Sandom and her 2013 5.3 percent tax increase. Why is it so hard

Public support for the Lions To the editor:

Twice each year, spring and fall, for fifteen years, customers at the Pennington Quality Market have been greeted by Hopewell Valley Lions clad in their yellow vests asking for donations and using the words of Helen Keller, “Help the Lions in their crusade against darkness.” This year’s generous response of $1,400 will be donated to the Lions Eye Research Program. We thank the Pennington Quality Market customers for their contributions and the owners of PQM for the use of their facility. In addition to their focus on sight, the local Lions are also involved in many aspects of the Hopewell Valley Community. We support a number of activities, such as scouting, sports, a scholarship for a deserving high school student, senior programs, used eye glass collection and loaning light hospital equipment. The Hopewell Valley Lions invite those who might wish to become members of the world’s largest public service organization to attend one of our meetings and get to know us and the work we do. Lions business meetings are held on the first Thursday of the month from 7:00 to 8:30 pm at the Mercer County Branch Library next to the high school. If interested, please contact either Lion Tracey Nixon-Rogers at 730-1020 or Lion Larry Mansier at 737-0863. Lawrence Mansier Pennington

The forcible removal of a United Airlines passenger from a plane in Chicago, Illinois earlier this month prompted the lawmakers’ call for an effort to ensure travelers are respected and airlines are held accountable. “The majority of flights leaving from Newark Liberty International Airport are United Airlines flights. This incident is cause for concern among many New Jersey residents who have to choose between flying United and not flying at all,” said Prieto (D-Bergen / Hudson). “Everyone who boards a plane in New Jersey deserves to know that they will be respected. A hearing will allow the legislature to ask questions and then take any necessary action to en-

sure that passengers are safe and treated with dignity.” “The recent horrific incident on United is indicative of what seems to be a larger systemic problem within the airline industry,” said Moriarty (D-Camden / Gloucester), chair of the Assembly Consumer Affairs Committee. “Expecting a traveler who paid for a seat on the plane to forfeit his or her reservation shows an utter disregard for the rights of consumers. New Jersey can have no tolerance for such business practices.” BECK JOINED BY SUPERINTENDENTS, PARENTS TO PUSH FOR FAIR FUNDING Senator Jennifer Beck (R-Monmouth) was joined at a press conference April 24 by superintendents and parents representing ten school districts that are among the most underfunded in the state to push for fair funding for their children’s education. The press conference was held outside the Assembly Budget Committee’s hearing with the Department of Education on their portion of the FY18 state budget. “We’re fighting for funds in this budget cycle for underfunded districts. Reworking

the school funding formula is a complex undertaking and no legislator will want to move funds if it makes the property tax crisis in their towns worse. That said, the underfunded districts cannot wait for another state budget cycle or another school year passing without getting relief,” said Beck. “At the very least, I’m asking my colleagues on the Senate and Assembly budget committees to provide our most underfunded and overlooked school districts with additional resources in the upcoming FY18 state budget. As for more comprehensive reform, I welcome a substantive discussion.” Joining Beck at the press conference and Assembly Budget Committee hearing were representatives from Freehold Borough, Red Bank, Monroe Township, Kingsway Regional, Chesterfield, Robbinsville, Delran, Paulsboro, Rahway, and SwedesboroWoolwich. “We’ve long pushed for a fair share of state aid for school districts like Red Bank and Freehold Borough that have been massively underfunded year after year,” said Beck. “Today isn’t the first time we’ve brought parents, superintendents, and teach-

Teen arts festival on the horizon

Hundreds of teenage artists and performers will experience the 2017 Mercer County Teen Arts Festival on Friday, May 12, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The festival provides high school and middle school students from the County’s public, private and parochial schools an opportunity for a day of full arts immersion at the West Windsor campus of Mercer County Community College. The day is filled with master classes, workshops and hands-on art-making activities. Through these sessions, teens have the opportunity to make new friends and network with their peers, learn new artistic skills, enhance skills they already have and become better prepared for their future. Sessions are offered across artistic disciplines. Among the many offerings are: plein air painting, ceramics and portfolio review for those engaged in visual arts; performing arts students can explore music improv, modern dance or rock vocals; and students with literary ideas can work on creative storytelling and publishing workshops. Critique sessions are also a key aspect of the day. Experts and teachers in each arts field offer students constructive feedback on their work and performances to help advance students’ understanding of their work, provide suggestions for future exploration in their field, and even offer guidance for their future academic and career endeavors. These critiques go beyond a simple statement of an artwork being “great,” and truly offer opportunity for the students to see their work in a new light. All art and performances presented for critique are further evaluated by the adjudicators, and a select group of students are offered a special opportunity to present their work at the State Teen Arts Festival, which takes place May 31 through June 2 at Ocean County Community College in Toms River. The Mercer County Teen Arts Festival is presented by the Mercer County Division of Culture and Heritage. The Division is excited to introduce a new Teen Arts Festival Coordinator, Marisa N. Benson, for the 2017 event. Benson is a Ewing-based arts consultant with experience in community arts and festival programming. She has worked on large multi-arts festivals and events in Trenton, Camden and Orange, with a specific expertise in arts programming for youth, family and community audiences.

Program on environmental issues cites importance of gubernatorial race By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Given the lack of interest in environmental issues shown by President Donald Trump, it’s going to be crucial to have a friend in the New Jersey governor’s seat next year. That was the message delivered to about a dozen attendees at the United State of Women’s program on environmental issues, featuring state Assemblywoman Elizabeth Muoio (D-15th Legislative District) and Alison Mitchell of the New Jersey Conservation Foundation. Both women said they were concerned about the impact of President

Trump’s proposed 30-percent cut in funding to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s budget, and the potential fallout down the line in New Jersey. The proposed state budget assumes that New Jersey will receive $14 billion in federal aid, including money for the environment, but President Trump has already said there will be cuts in funding, Muoio said. Mitchell said that any cuts in federal aid to the state government could have an impact on the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. She said she “didn’t think there had ever been a time that appears to be a bigger threat (than now).”

That’s why it is crucial for the next governor to be someone who is sympathetic to the environment, Mitchell and Muoio agreed. “We are going to have to lead the fight on the environment in New Jersey, with President Trump in the White House,” Muoio said. Voters should look at the gubernatorial candidate’s position on the environment, she said. Muoio noted that the number one cause of greenhouse gas emissions, which damages the environment, is vehicle emissions. Funding for mass transportation should not be cut, she said. Muoio reminded the attendees that she came out in opposition to the proposed

PennEast natural gas pipeline that cuts through New Jersey. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which take action on the proposed PennEast pipeline project, has only turned down one application since its creation, she said. FERC uses the rationale, in approving natural gas pipeline projects, that it makes the energy system more reliable, but studies have shown that it is not always the case, Muoio said. FERC is supposed to look at the grid of natural gas pipelines and their cumulative impact, but in reality, the commission looks at each proposal as a standalone project, she said.

FERC was created to encourage the development of natural gas as a source of fuel because it was believed to be “cleaner” than other sources of energy. But that’s not always true, Muoio said, and that’s why steps should be taken to ensure that FERC is more critical of applications. The regulations may need to be revisited to ensure that FERC is more critical. During the questionand-answer session, one attendee pointed out that California takes steps to address environmental issues, even if it means bucking the federal government. He suggested that states which share similar progressive views should band together

and perhaps follow a set of “best practices.” “I think you will see more of that (banding together) with President Trump. You do need a friend in the New Jersey governor’s seat who will be willing to partner with other states,” Muoio said. Mitchell said that “we feel pretty hopeful that the new governor of New Jersey, regardless of the political party, will be more progressive on the environment. We are looking ahead to better days at the state level, but we are faced with issues at the state level.”

ENDING ON A POSITIVE NOTE Baby Boomers, in particular, often describe their lives as having been played out against a background of music that speaks of their time and experience. With this in mind, many are deciding to incorporate music that is important to them in their funeral plans. While funerals used to be solely associated with solemn organ music, funeral preplanners may decide that the tunes of James Taylor, Neil Young, or Joni Mitchell may be more appropriate to their experience. This is done with a complete understanding of musicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to affect mood and shape the way that people will remember WKHP DQG WKHLU Ĺ°QDO GD\ WRJHWKHU 7KLV LV but one of the many ways that people can personalize their funerals.

A good funeral is a meaningful one. A life is commemorated, friends express their condolences and a grieving family is comforted. The ceremony can take many forms; there is no right or wrong way to do it. There could be music and prayers, tears and laughter.

It should be noted that there are 46 districts that receive state aid in excess of what the School Funding Reform Act says they should get at a cost of more than $10 million,â&#x20AC;? Beck said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At a minimum, it makes sense to look at re-distributing this $10 million.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;That said, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear, that redistributing adjustment aid is going to be as uncomplicated as some have suggested since 97 of the 181 school Adjustment Aid Districts currently overpay in local property taxes for their schools, and 157 of those districts are also underfunded relative to what SFRA says they should get in state aid,â&#x20AC;? Beck added. While changes are necessary to the School Funding Reform Act of 2008 (SFRA), the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school funding formula, Beck said that immediate relief in the upcoming state budget is critically needed for underfunded districts if wholesale

school funding reform cannot be accomplished prior to the budgetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adoption. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;SCANLON ON SCHOOL FUNDING: DEMS CANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS TRENTON, N.J. - Assemblyman Declan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Scanlon, the Republican budget officer, called out Democrats April 24 for trying to blame the administration for underfunding school districts when they have not presented a plan to fund education. Following todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget hearing, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Scanlon said it was unfair for Majority Leader Lou Greenwald to ask acting Commissioner Kimberley Harrington why the education department hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to find a solution to the funding problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;School funding has been a problem that Democrats have been unwilling to address for years,â&#x20AC;? said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Scanlon (R-Monmouth). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thankfully they are now talking about the inadequacies of the formula, but they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have it both ways. They have to man up and admit that their solu-

tions will result in massive billion dollar tax increases or they need to accept that we need to come together to solve this problem which will unfortunately involve picking winners and losers. But, we as legislators are the folks whose obligation it is to tell the truth. We need to accept that and start doing our jobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact is we have a $4 to $6 billion budget hole. We are not going to magically find another $1 or $2 billion to fully fund the formula,â&#x20AC;? he continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need responsible and essential reforms to state health benefits and pension systems, but the assemblyman and his fellow Democrats are so far unwilling to admit that. They claim we have already reformed the systems. Yes, we have made some progress, but more reforms are needed. The longer they put off that discussion, the more painful the solution will be for taxpayers and public employees who pay taxes as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All that being said, I accept Majority Leader Greenwaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenge to work together to solve the

undeniable problem of school funding. He has been a good partner in the past. I look forward to working with him again now and going forward.â&#x20AC;?

FILL IN THE GAP One condition that is likely to compel a person to visit the orthodontist for correction is a large diastema between the upper two front teeth. The term â&#x20AC;&#x153;diastemaâ&#x20AC;? simply refers to a space between two teeth. While these gaps can occur between any two teeth, those between the upper front teeth appear most often. This gap may arise as a mismatch between small teeth (inherited from one parent) and large jaw bones (inherited from the other). Diastemata (plural) may also be caused by an oversized labial frenum (the piece of tissue that normally extends from the inside of the upper lip to the gum just above the two upper IURQW WHHWK ÂżQJHU VXFNLQJ RU DQ LQFRUUHFW VZDOORZLQJ UHĂ&#x20AC;H[ (called â&#x20AC;&#x153;tongue thrustingâ&#x20AC;?).

Phil McAuliffe will celebrate the release of his first album at The Record Collector By Mike Morsch

Phil McAuliffe and the Trenton Makes band will play songs from McAuliffe’s debut album during a concert at The Record Collector, May 6.

hil McAuliffe isn’t an award-winning photographer who does a little music on the side. He’s a musician who does a little award-winning photography on the side. But when his two worlds do cross paths, that combined creativity can spark inspiration. And the result of that is McAuliffe’s debut album, “The Great Road.” A CD launch party for the record will be held May 6 at the Record Collector in Bordentown. Hired in 1996 as a staff photographer for the Princeton Packet, McAuliffe also picked up some freelance work that had him photographing national and international news, like the space shuttle launches in Cape Canaveral, Florida, until they ended in 2011; the war in Kosovo in 1999; and the aftermath of 9/11. “It felt like there was a war zone at home after 9/11 and music kind of fell off the map for me,” McAuliffe says. “It didn’t seem important to me at the time. It seemed like it was more important for me to cover the stuff I was covering. So I ended up putting the music down.” The match that eventually re-lit the creative writing fuse, though, happened closer to home. In 2005, McAuliffe was photographing the Roosevelt String Band for the Packet and met David Brahinsky, who had a folk band. Brahinsky told McAuliffe he had a couple of upcoming gigs and he needed a bass player. Earlier in life, from the mid-1970s through the mid-1990s when photography was still just a hobby, McAuliffe had been a bass player for bands in New Jersey and Florida. But he hadn’t picked up the bass in about six years at that point. No worries, though. McAuliffe got the gig and about six months later, started learning to play bass for folk songs. “I was listening to the lyrics of some of these folk songs I was being turned on to and it gave me ideas for song lyrics,” says McAuliffe, who is from Hamilton. “It seemed like the drought that I was in for songwriting ended. I was inspired to start writing, and a lot of the writing I was doing was about things I had photographed. I had actually seen the stuff that everyone else saw in the newspapers and on TV.” Over the next several years, McAuliffe continued writing songs, eventually compiling between 40 and 50 new tunes. It had always been a bucket list item for him to make an album, and now he had the original material he needed to get it done.

His earlier life as a musician had also introduced McAuliffe to other great musicians, many of whom he still knew. While maintaining his media and freelance photography jobs, McAuliffe started to relearn the guitar, taking lessons from Trenton guitarist Ernie White, who produced “The Great Road.” The two had known each other and written songs together in the 1970s, which White’s band, called Wind, would occasionally perform. “I thought, Well, I have these great resources, I know all these great musicians. And everybody loved the material. Ernie had a recording studio, so I recorded there,” McAuliffe says. Along with making a record, McAuliffe also put together a band, Phil McAuliffe and the Trenton Makes Band, and booked gigs at the Cedar Gardens Restaurant on Route 33 in Hamilton. “The Great Road,” recorded at LeBlanc Studio in Hamilton, features all of McAuliffe’s bandmates and friends: Ernie White on lead guitar; Tom Reock on keyboards; Charles Laurita on bass; Guy DeRosa on blues harp and harmonica; Steve Mosley on drums and percussion; Joe Grillo on saxophone; Bronwyn Bird on Nyckelharpa; Lisa Bouchelle on backing vocals; and Paul Prestopino — a member of the Chad Mitchell Trio in the 1960s who played on some of John Denver’s albums in the 1970s and still performs today with Peter Yarrow and Noel Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul and Mary — on banjo, mandolin, dobro and acoustic guitar. When it came time to package the CD, McAuliffe drew on his expertise as a photographer. And why not? Photography has been a big part of his life. The

front cover features a night shot from atop one of the skyscrapers in Chicago looking west. “I was trying to find something that wasn’t a cliche, but that would work with the title ‘The Great Road,’” McAuliffe says. “I had originally planned to fly out west to shoot something in the desert, but what I ended up doing was choosing a shot I had of all the roads coming together on the horizon in Chicago. It sort of said something about life itself, the journey of life. That photo summed it up.” For the back cover, McAuliffe drove to Pennsylvania Dutch country in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, looking for a winding road to use as a juxtaposition for the front cover. In side cover formal portrait of McAuliffe was taken by Barbara Weaber. As for the 16 tracks on the album, McAuliffe says he’s pretty happy with the end result. Sort of. Like a lot of artists, he wishes there were a few things he could go back and improve on. “My lead vocals have gotten better with experience,” he says. “I always used to just do harmonies. But with the coaching of these guys who have been doing this for decades, I’m getting better at it. I almost wish I could go back in and re-cut the lead vocals because I think I’m better now than when I was first in the studio. But overall, I’m happy with it.”

Phil McAuliife and the Trenton Makes Band will perform at The Record Collector, 358 Farnsworth Ave., Bordentown, May 6, 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $15, $12 advance; www.the-record-collector.com; 609324-0880.

hen he was in middle school, Aaron Harrington remembers seeing a video for “Seasons of Love” on MTV, but aside from that, he knew very little about Jonathan Larson’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical, “Rent.” Born and raised in Durham, North Carolina, Harrington didn’t have much interest in musical theater or acting until college. During his senior year, he found he had a light schedule, so he was looking for something extracurricular to do, and discovered a small theater nearby. “I did it originally because I was bored and I wanted some excitement,” he says. “I didn’t think I was good enough for the big time, but thought I was good enough to do a small role. It’s always been a small dream to act, but never big enough to make that big a commitment to.”

After it was over, he graduated from Shaw University in Raleigh and started pursuing his career. “I went to school for marketing and moved to New Jersey to stay with my family and relocate for a PR/marketing job in New York,” he says. “It turned out, they gave away the position and I didn’t have a job. Many months later, a friend sent me audition information for ‘Rent’ at a community theater and thought I would be good for the role, so I went and did it.” He landed the part of Tom Collins and started researching show, eventually finding the Broadway show on YouTube. “I loved the music.

The Fabric of Life Quincy Tyler Bernstine stars in ‘Intimte Apparel’ at McCarter Theatre ynn Nottage’s “Intimate Apparel” is about Esther, an African American woman who works as a seamstress in Manhattan in the early part of the 20th century. Esther creates beautiful lingerie for prostitutes and for wealthy, married women. There is an irony to Esther making these garments for her customers while she does not have love, or intimacy, in her life. Esther is a strong, intelligent (if illiterate), independent, and witty woman, but as can happen so often in life, she lets her guard down for the prospect of love. She receives a letter from George Armstrong (played by Galen Kane), who is working on the digging for the Panama Canal. George is working with the son of Esther’s Deacon, who talks to George about his church and life in New York. “…I find comfort in his recollections,” George writes. “I ask if I may write you? And if you so please, I’d welcome your words.” Esther also has a flirty relationship with Mr. Marks (played by Tasso Feldman), who is Jewish, and sells her fabric. Actually, the relationship is as flirty as it can be, since Marks’ religion doesn’t allow him to be even touched by a woman who isn’t his wife, but the attraction between the two is clear. George, being the more realistic option, is who Esther ends up with. Esther is saving her money with the dream of opening a beauty parlor where black women will be treated as well as white women. But George is not the man she hoped for, and her dream is dashed, but she remains determined to see it come to life. Quincy Tyler Bernstine, who is playing Esther in McCarter Theatre’s production of “Intimate Apparel,” May 5 through June 4, says that most of us, even the strongest of us, can get vulnerable at the prospect of love. “We do, every time,” she says. “You think you’ve learned, and then it hits you. Her standards are so high, she’s so strongwilled, and then all of a sudden, she’s not. Love will make you do funny things, sometimes.”

Bernstine has a long history with this play, as she was a reader during auditions for its earliest productions in 2003. “I was the reader and just foaming at the mouth to play her,” she says of Esther. Bernstine also played a different character in a previous production and a few years ago, she played Esther during a benefit reading of the play. That reading was directed by Jade King Carroll, who is helming the McCarter production. “Now I feel like I wake up every morning, grateful and it really is like an actor’s dream, even though I’m so tired,” Bernstine says of playing Esther in a fully staged production. “Every day is a gift because Lynn’s Photo by Matt Pilsner writing and what we’re doing with the production, Jade and everybody attached, it’s a Tasso Feldman and Quincy Tyler Bernstine in rehearsals for McCarter Thegreat space to be in and a wonderful char- atre’s production of “Intimate Apparel.” acter to sink my teeth into.” She says she has long wanted to play Esther because “she’s just a remarkable lady. She is so strong, and she is so strong-willed, and so gifted. She just inspires me.” She adds that she knows women who are similar to Esther. “I certainly know a lot of strong women, and I know a lot of gifted women,” she says. “I think I’m surrounded by women like that in their life, women who have gone through adversity and who are able to pick themselves up and keep going. I have family members like that, I have friends and colleagues like that.” Another aspect of the play she admires is its language. “Lynne’s writing, she just has a gift, there’s not an extra word,” Bernstine says. “She‘s able to sculpt her plays, the language she uses is just so perfect. She has an amazing ear for these characters.” “Intimate Apparel” will be performed at McCarter Theatre, 91 University Place, Princeton, May 5 through June 4.

McCarter Announces Theater and Events Season

cCarter Theatre Center has announced its 201718 season, which will include a rarely produced Sam Shepard play, the story of a rock icon, an Irish comedy, a gospel musical, and the world premiere of Christopher Durang’s newest play. The season will kick off with Shepard’s “Simpatico,” featuring Chicago’s A Red Orchid Theatre. The play, set in the world of thoroughbred racing, is about secrets, blackmail and false identities. It will star two-time Oscar nominated actor Michael Shannon (“Revolutionary Road,” “Nocturnal Animals”) and the Red Orchid ensemble. The play will run Sept. 8 through Oct. 8. Next up will be “A Night with Janis Joplin,” written and directed by Randy Johnson. The show will be fueled by a live band and psychedelic performances of classic Jopln songs. The show will be on McCarter’s stage Oct. 10-29. The holiday season means the return of McCarter’s annual staging of “A Christmas Carol,” Dec. 5-31. The new year will bring in a contemporary revival of Marie Jones’ Irish comedy “Stones in His Pockets.” In the play, two Irishmen hope to hit it big when they are hired as extras for an epic American movie filming in their scenic County Kerry village. It will run Jan. 12 through Feb. 11. The season will continue with “Crowns,” written and directed by Regina Taylor, adapted from the book by

Michael Cunningham and Craig Marberry. The musical weaves together faith, fashion and fortitude into an inspirational musical celebration of African American women and their church hats. It will run March 13-April 1. McCarter’s season will wrap up with Durang’s “Turning Off the Morning News,” a world premiere of a McCarter commission. Directed by McCarter Artistic Director Emily Mann, the play features eccentric characters and is described as a timely, outrageous black comedy that exposes the mayhem of contemporary family life in a time of alternative facts, non-stop streaming news, and social media saturation. It will run May 4 through June 3. Subscription packages are on sale now and are available at www.mccarter.org, at the McCarter box office, located at 91 University Place, Princeton, or by calling 609-2585050.

Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo is an all-male comic dance group, who perform parodies of classical works in drag. It will perform at McCarter, April 22, 2018.

Wynton Marsalis’ connection to Princeton includes performing, recording, and being a keynote speaker in the town. Next, he will perform during McCarter’s annual gala with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orhcestra (pictured below).

Jazzed up for McCarter’s gala A concert by Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra will highlight the theater’s key fundraising night Here’s a trivia question for Princeton history buffs: What started in Princeton with a princess in 1977 and is celebrating its 40th birthday in 2017 with a prince? It’s the McCarter Gala Benefit, not a ball for royalty, but rather a real ball for everyone who wants to support McCarter’s many ongoing artistic and educational initiatives throughout the region. The tradition of holding a fundraising gala began in 1977 with the main attraction being Princess Grace of Monaco, who mesmerized audience members with her poetry reading. For this year’s 40th McCarter Benefit on May 6, the often-dubbed “Prince of Jazz” Wynton Marsalis will mesmerize with his music. McCarter’s Special Programming Director Bill Lockwood who has been reaching for the stars — and snagging them — for McCarter’s special programs (including the gala) over the course of a half a century, said the term “prince” or even “king” of jazz fails to describe Marsalis’ influence on the world of arts and culture. He is an “incredible talent” as a musician (trumpet player), composer, bandleader, educator, and leading advocate of American culture. He is the world’s first jazz artist to perform and compose across the full jazz spectrum from its New Orleans roots to bebop to modern jazz. Wynton Marsalis, said Bill Lockwood, is the “heart and soul of American jazz. . . . He is at the center of American jazz; the international spokesman, the ambassador, the professor, and preeminent advocate for jazz.” And furthermore, said Lockwood, “Wynton is an exceptionally nice guy with a real connection to Princeton.” Lockwood began bringing the first of thousands of internationally renowned and emerging artists in every genre to the McCarter stage around the time 6year-old Wynton Marsalis got his first trumpet from famed Dixieland jazz trumpeter Al Hirt. Nearly two decades later in 1984, Marsalis accepted Lockwood’s invitation to perform at McCarter. Since then Marsalis has been a regular visitor to both Princeton University and

McCarter Theatre. In addition to the several times he has performed on the McCarter stage, Wynton Marsalis has come to Princeton to: record a classical music album, “On the 20th Century” (1992); be the keynote speaker and performer at Princeton University’s Martin Luther King Day ceremony (1996); and receive an honorary doctorate degree (1995). “Bill Lockwood is the greatest, one of the greats of all times,” Marsalis said in a recent interview. He and Lockwood offered their words of praise for one another without any knowledge of what the other had said. Marsalis also asked about “his friend,” former Princeton Township Mayor Jim Floyd, now 95 years old, whose granddaughter Isabella worked for Mr. Marsalis. But as the managing and artistic director of Jazz at Lincoln Center, Mr. Marsalis was most intent upon talking about education — a passion he shares with Princeton University, Lockwood, and McCarter’s Artistic Director Emily Mann. The Marsalis vision has transformed Jazz at Lincoln Center into an international university of jazz. “We don’t just play jazz — we teach it,” he said. “We write it, we dance it, we sing it, we present it, we photograph it, we film it, we produce it, we archive it, we record it, we broadcast it, we commission it, we celebrate it, we live it, share it.” This sentiment has led to the extensive education programs driving Jazz at Lincoln Center’s efforts to advance the appreciation, understanding, and performance of jazz. During visits to schools throughout the nation, Mr. Marsalis observed that the caliber of jazz education was often inferior to that of other fine arts. In response, Jazz at Lincoln Center now offers a continuum of jazz education programs designed for youth and adults of all ages, interests and capabilities. Today, over two-thirds of Jazz at Lincoln Center’s programming is educational — reaching more than 1 million individuals in all 50 states through concerts, webcasting, direct musical instruction and distribution of music scores free of charge.

McCarter has demonstrated this same “unwavering commitment” to educating its audiences, said Director of Public Relations Tom Miller. In addition to the productions and the postand-pre educational discussion sessions associated with each theater production, McCarter offers numerous innovative educational outreach programs that serve an estimated 20,000 students a year — many of whom would have no access to the arts without McCarter’s efforts. Wynton said his renowned passionate dedication to education started with his father, Ellis Marsalis Jr. As a leading educator at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, the University of New Orleans, and Xavier University of Louisiana, Ellis has influenced the careers of countless musicians, including Terence Blanchard, Harry Connick Jr., Nicholas Payton, as well as his four musician sons Wynton, Branford, Delfeayo, and Jason. “My father was my teacher — he inspired me, taught me the value of teaching,” said Wynton, who taught his first class at Lincoln High School in East St. Louis, Missouri when he was 18 years old. He has been teaching ever since. The theme of the McCarter Gala “A Night in Old Havana” taps into the Marsalis jazz missionary spirit. In 2015, Mr. Marsalis released an historic album “Live in Cuba,” recorded before live audiences in Cuba’s capital city of Havana in October of 2010. The record release came in the wake of President Barack Obama’s July 2015, announcement that the U.S. and Cuba had reached a deal to re-establish diplomatic relations for the first time in 50 years. Featuring the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, the album explores the connections between American jazz and Afro-Cuban music. The Cuban Institute of Music invited Mr. Marsalis with the orchestra to come to Cuba after Obama’s initial easing of travel restrictions between U.S. and Cuba seven years ago. Famous for educating others, Wynton Marsalis has never stopped

educating himself and continuing to evolve as a musician. “You can’t change something you do not know,” he said. “But I know jazz, I know that change is good.” He has made more than 40 music recordings in both jazz and in classical music, and has won nine Grammy awards. Never content to focus solely on his musicianship, Marsalis has devoted equal time to developing his compositional skills with collaborations with the dance community. He has written symphonies, collaborated on Broadway musicals, blues, bebop, gospel music and his latest learning endeavor is composing an opera. Words are inadequate to describe the breadth of the Marsalis talent and character. “You have to experience him,” Mr. Lockwood said. The gala promises to be an evening of American jazz, Old Havana flare, fine food, live and silent auctions, and dancing. The gala will be co-chaired by Reggie and Aliya Browne of Newtown, Pennsylvania; Ed Matthews and Vilma Keri of Princeton; and Christiana Foglio-Palmer and Douglas Palmer of Princeton. McCarter’s Gala is one of the most celebrated events of the season and is the largest fundraising event for the theater. In the course of the past four decades, it has raised millions of dollars to support the theater’s artistic and educational missions. The evening begins with a cocktail reception and dinner in a specially designed tent on McCarter’s back lawn followed by the performance by Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Guests with gala tickets (as opposed to concert-only tickets) then return to the tent for an after-party with food, entertainment, and dancing. While the dinner quickly sells out each year, tickets to the performance and after-party remain available. Concert-only tickets cost $75$100. Gala tickets, including performance seeating and access to the after-party, start at $250. For tickets and information, go to www.mccarter.org or call 609-258-2787.

Discover a world of artists at Communiversity Princeton’s annual event gives groups an opportunity to spread the word about what they do By Anthony Stoeckert Features Editor

Communiversity ArtsFest is a celebration of all things Princeton, and among the things that help make the town special are the groups and non-profit organizations whose goals are to bring art, entertainment and culture to the area. And for those organizations, Communiversity can be an opportunity to spread the word about what they do, and, when time permits on such a busy day, communicate with other groups in the area. They do this largely through booths that are set up throughout downtown Princeton during Communiversity ArtsFest, which this year will take place April 30, 1-6 p.m. It is at these booths where visitors can learn about these organizations and what they offer. There also may be art and other items for sale, and even the opportunity to win prizes. Christine Hacker of the Princeton University Art Museum says Communiversity ArtFest plays an important role in getting out word about the museum and what it offers. “It’s our way to literally come outside of the gate and really interact with the visiting public, which is wonderful,” Hacker said. “So many people don’t know where the museum is, they don’t realize what a wonderful museum it is. So it’s really a great time for us to talk with people in a festive, informal setting. The response has always been terrific.” Visitors to the museum’s booth can purchase items that are sold at the museum’s store. Most items are made by area artists. People also can learn about what the museum offers, not only in terms of exhibits, but also programs for children. “For families, that’s a huge thing,” Hacker said. “The museum is free, and the museum has wonderful programs for children, and a lot of people don’t know that. And it’s just fun to be with people, it’s great. We sell a lot of jewelry and people love it, they just love it. They love looking at the stuff, it’s always interesting, it’s always different, and that’s what the art museum is all about.” Communiversity ArtsFest, she said, offers lots of benefits to the museum. “We’ve been doing it for many years, and people know our booth,” she said. “That’s the other piece, too, we meet a lot of new people but it’s also a nice opportunity to say ‘hello’ to our friends.” Richard Tang Yuk, the artistic director of The Princeton Festival, says the festival sets up a booth every year with a display highlighting performances and marketing materials. The booth hosts games with giveaways such as tote bags, pens, cups, and tickets to performances. “We try to engage people at our booth, rather than just handing out marketing materials,” Tang Yuk said. “It worked very well last year, it was very busy from the time we opened to the time we closed.” The Princeton Festival is a summertime festival of live performances, including an opera, a musical, concerts and more at various venues in the area. This year’s festival will take place June 3 through June 25. The opera will be Beethoven’s “Fidelio” and the musical is “Man of La Mancha.” Tang Yuk said that Communiversity helps The Princeton Festival get the word out about what it does. “The vast majority of people that we encounter at Communiversity, maybe 85 to 90 percent of the people who stop by the booth, have never heard of The Princeton Festival,” he said. “In that sense, this is very good for us, it’s very good in building community awareness and that’s why we do it.” Steven R. Runk of the Lewis Center for the Arts says the Lewis Center, in conjunction with Princeton’s Department of Music and Princeton University Concerts, are teaming together for a booth focused on the opening of the new Lewis Center for the Arts complex, scheduled to open in the fall in the Arts and Transit Neighborhood near McCarter Theatre. “From Oct. 5-8 a Festival of the Arts will be held at the arts complex and in venues across the campus to mark the opening,” Runk said. “We will have information in our booth about the weekend and prize drawings for tickets to opening events and other prizes. We will also, as we usually do at Communiversity, share information about the ongoing Lewis Center for the Arts programming — over 100 public performances, exhibitions, readings, screenings, concerts and lectures each year, most of them free.” He added that Communiversity offers people the chance to learn about what Princeton area arts groups and artists offer,

Visitors to the Princeton Festival booth at Communiversity ArtsFest can win prizes and learn about the festival’s offerings. whether via performances on stage, art activities and demonstrations, or booths. “We are incredibly fortunate in this region to have a wide range of very strong arts opportunities,” Runk said. “It is fun to visit one another’s booths to see what everyone has coming up.” He also says that during the big event, the booth will be visited by people who don’t know the Lewis Center is part of Prince-

ton University, and that the center is both an academic department and a provider of public arts programming. “What we try to convey is that our programming differs a bit from some of the other programming available in the area with a lot of guest-artist visits and conversations that are free to the public,” he said. He adds that those projects represent experimentation and risk taken by students with new perspectives through the work they create. Music lovers also will want to stop by Princeton Symphony Orchestra’s booth, where they‘ll find an instrument “petting zoo” where kids can blow on a flute, blast a trumpet or bow a violin. “This is a first-time experience for many, so PSO musicians are on hand as guides to ensure happy musical sounds,” said Carolyn Dwyer of Princeton Symphony Orchestra. “For others, it’s a walk down memory lane as they pick up instruments they last held while students long ago. The smiles of surprise and nostalgia are priceless.” The booth also will offer information about PSO’s 2017-18 season, including a drawing for tickets to te season-opening concert, Beethoven’s 9th on Sept. 16. “We’re happy to be able to point the way to our concert hall, Richardson Auditorium, just steps away from our booth,” Dwyer said. She says PSO enjoys the opportunity to participate in Communiversity ArtsFest with such partners as American Repertory Ballet, Princeton University Art Museum, the Princeton Garden Theatre, the Arts Council of Princeton and Westminster Conservatory, as well as such non-profits as Morven Museum & Garden and the Princeton Public Library. “We’re all proud of contributing to Princeton both independently and in collaboration,” she said. “With booths offering handson interaction with a variety of cultural, visual art, dance, and music organizations — it’s one great, creative party immersing everyone in all that Princeton has to offer.”

It’s Communiversity ArtsFest time! The Arts Council of Princeton, in collaboration with the students of Princeton University and the town of Princeton, will present Communiversity ArtsFest, April 30, from 1-6 p.m. The annual festival offers music and dance by local performers, along with artists, crafters, merchants, and community groups making art and sharing information about what they do. Communiversity ArtsFest will feature six stages of non-stop live performances. Performance highlights for this year’s event include music by returning artists Lauren Marsh, The Blue Meanies, Sarah Donner, Eco Del Sur, Fresh Fire and Princeton School of Rock. Newcomers include Sarah Copley, Just 6 Hours and Helen O’Shea & the Shanakee Project. Communiversity is known for unique performers, such as the Princeton University Marching Band, Nacha Nation and flash mobs. Also scheduled to perform on stage are a variety of dance groups including newcomer The Pennington Studio and returning groups Fiesta Flamenco, Circus Place and the YWCA Dance Department. More than 200 booths will line the streets of Nassau and Witherspoon, Palmer Square and the University campus near Nassau Hall. Popular art attraction and Arts Council-sponsored activity, “Nana’s-Make-A-Mess,” is a highlight for children at Communiversity with this year’s activity being tie dye flags. Art activities at this annual station encourage kids to express their creativity with an assortment of messy materials to make their own

original artwork. Other Arts Council activities include tissue paper flowers, experimenting with acrylic paint, animal portraiture, character design and more. The “Paint Out Princeton” will be back again this year with talented local painters capturing the excitement of Communiversity. The finished artwork will be on display and open to the public beginning May 12 at the Arts Council’s Paul Robeson Center for the Arts. “This year attendees can expect an exceptional array of unique performances, art and art activities, food from around the globe, local businesses and many nonprofit organizations and volunteers that make up the community of Princeton and beyond,” said Taneshia Nash Laird, executive director of the Arts Council of Princeton. Communiversity ArtsFest takes place in downtown Princeton, with parking options including parking garages — the Chambers and Hulfish garages can both be accessed via Chambers Street and the Spring Street garage can be accessed via Wiggins Street. Additional parking can be found in Princeton University’s parking lots, free and open to the public for Communiversity. Go to www.princeton.edu/parking for details. Princeton Shopping Center will sponsor a free shuttle bus for attendees who park at the Princeton Shopping Center, 301 Harrison St. The shuttle will run continuously throughout the event.

HEALTH MATTERS

Dr. Bert Mandelbaum

Fostering healthy habits in children

Getting children to get up and get moving can sometimes be as hard as getting them to eat their peas. But both physical activity and a nutritious diet, along with adequate sleep, are the building blocks for a healthy future. Fostering healthy habits in your children now will help them grow to be healthy adults. Here are some helpful tips to get you started: Control screen time. Research has shown that children spend more time with electronic media than they do in any other activity aside from sleep. Moreover, studies indicate that overuse of electronic media can increase the risk for obesity, interfere with sleep, negatively effect school performance and increase the risk for cyberbullying and exploitation. However, it doesn’t have to be all or nothing when it comes to screen time. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends developing a personalized media use plan for your children. Media plans should take into consideration the AAP recommendations that children not sleep with their devices in their bedrooms and designating media-free times together (such as family dinners) and media-free locations (such as bedrooms) in homes. A good rule of thumb is to limit screen time to onehour periods. Once an hour is up, have your child power down and do something else for an hour. Make fitness fun. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recom-

mends that children get at least 60 minutes of exercise every day. Yet only one in three children are physically active each day. Make fitness fun by identifying an activity your child enjoys — whether it’s an organized sport like soccer or something less structured like biking or snowboarding — and encouraging it. Playing on the playground or hiking through the woods are also good ways to get exercise. If your child is not currently active, start out slow and build up activity over time. Some exercise is better than none. Also, why not make fitness a family affair? Take a bike ride together. Plan a weekend camping trip. Hit the rock climbing gym or simply go for a walk around the neighborhood as a family after dinner. Ensure your child gets enough sleep. In general, toddlers need 12 hours of sleep a night, elementary and middle school children need between 9 and 10, and high schoolers need at least 8. According to the AAP, children who get enough sleep have a healthier immune system, and better school performance, behavior, memory, and mental health. To help your child get enough ZZZs, establish a regular bedtime and stick to it, even on weekends. Restrict electronics in the bedroom at night and do not allow a TV or computer in the room. Keep the bedroom cool, dark and quiet and start winding down at least 30 minutes before bed-

about the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Engage the entire family in making healthy choices. Planning meals together can help children learn about nutrition, and sitting down at the table with each other not only provides the opportunity for you to set a good example, but also helps foster conversation so you can learn what’s on your child’s mind. When you unplug, eat right and make getting enough sleep and exercise priorities, your kids will too.

Dr. Bert Mandelbaum time. Watch portion sizes and follow the 15-minute rule. Food portion sizes in the United States have doubled or tripled over the past 20 years, contributing to the country’s obesity epidemic, according to the National Institutes of Health. Generally, portions should be “child-sized” until adolescence. Meals should include a protein and a variety of fruits and vegetables. In simplest terms, aim for a colorful plate. In addition, encourage your child to wait 15 minutes before having seconds. Waiting allows their brain to catch up with their stomach. If they’re still hungry after 15 minutes, allow them to have seconds but make sure they take a little of everything. Practice what you preach. Modeling healthy behavior is one of the best ways to teach your children
