Superintendent’s contract talks move forward

By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

215-354-3146

Princeton Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane and the Board of Education are trying to reach a contract extension for Cochrane to continue leading a public school district he is seeking to transform.

Cochrane, entering the final 12 months of his deal, has been running the system since he replaced Judith A. Wilson in January 2014.

Contacted this week, he initially directed questions about his contract to School Board President Patrick Sullivan. Later, Cochrane issued a two-sentence-longstatement, short on details or specifics, about a meeting he and other school officials had together about his future.

“I have had an initial and positive meeting with the personnel committee of the board about an extension of my contract. The next step would be for the full board to meet about that possibility,” he wrote Thursday in a text message.

Cochrane did not respond to subsequent attempts for further comment or to answer questions.

For his part, Sullivan has offered public support for Cochrane’s job performance, and that he hoped that the superintendent would stay.

He said Friday that the board is looking to extend Cochrane for three or four years. He said he hopes to get that done before school resumes in September.

“We’re going to talk with him, hopefully next week, and see if we can work something out,” Sullivan said. “We’re eager to have him stay and hopefully he’s willing to stay.”

Cochrane is paid an annual salary of $167,500, not including bonus pay for meeting merit goals.

He is wrapping up a four-and ahalf year contract that started in January 2014. In New Jersey, school superintendents do not get tenure.

As he is pushing to make aggressive changes to the school district he had inherited from Wilson, Cochrane is not at all acting like a man who might not be around to see the fruits of his labor. He has talked of the need to hire more minorities as teachers and administrators, pushed for changes to curriculum to focus on race and social justice issues and sought to

Princeton Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane focus on the emotional well-being of students, even as he has advocated for redefining what success for children means in a community with high expectations.

Yet when Cochrane first started, he told an interviewer that did not see himself as having a mandate for change. But school officials who hired him were not looking for Cochrane to run the district on autopilot, either.

“I don’t want to speak for my colleagues on the search committee or on the board at that time,” said former board President Tim Quinn, “but I personally did not want someone who was going to maintain the status quo.”

Quinn, now a Princeton councilman, said officials were aware of challenges facing the school system, including the “climate and culture” at Princeton High School.

“I think very much we wanted the opposite of someone who was going to maintain the status quo,” Quinn said. “I think we saw in Steve someone who would challenge assumptions and make improvements.”

Sullivan, who served with Quinn, said “the board, at that time, had some, I think, views about where they wanted things to go from here.”

“And we’re seeing that come into action now,” Sullivan said.

“So I’m not sure if we were explicit in saying that we wanted a change agent, but we certainly wanted to see some changes.”

In his time at Princeton, Cochrane has talked of having students lead “lives of joy and purpose,” introduced positive psychology and focused on student wellness. That has led him to impose homework free weekends at PHS, where changes to the starting time of the school day and to students’ schedules are coming in 2018.

He and his administration have sought to tackle problems they see in the community, including “racism” in Princeton public schools.

“Racial literacy is not about the eradication of racism,” he said at a recent school board meeting. “It is about developing the skills and the culture that help us to have honest, authentic, respectful conversations about race — conversations that preserve the dignity of all parties without backing away from real hurt and real injustice, conversations, most importantly, that lead to real changes.”

Warrior-Scholar Project helps build the leaders of tomorrow

By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

As a teenager, James Goins left civilian life to enter the Air Force, in a decision that meant forgoing attending college. But as he prepares to leave the military next year, Goins, 24, has his mind set on getting into the Ivy League.

To help prepare him for the transition from GI to college student, he and 14 other active duty personnel or veterans looking to readjust to civilian life have spent this week at Princeton University taking an immersive oneweek course exposing them to college life and the rigors that go with it.

They have slept in dorms, taken courses taught by university faculty, brushed up on writing skills, gone to study hall, in days that lasted from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., or 0800 hours to 2200 hours, as they might put it in military time.

They are here through the Warrior-Scholar Project, a nonprofit organization seeking to help GIs in the transition to college. The organization launched a nine-person pilot program at Yale University in 2012, and since has grown to have one or two-week courses at top colleges around the country, like the University of Chicago and the University of Southern California. This was the first year it had come to Princeton.

“So the military does a really wonderful job of taking a young man or a young woman, putting them through boot camp and turning them into a solider or a sailor, (but) not such a good job of turning that person back into a civilian,” said Sidney T. Ellington, executive director of the WarriorScholar Project and a retired Navy commander.

As hundreds of thousands of military personnel leave the armed services each year, many of them look to go back to school. With their GI bill to help them pay for tuition, they potentially could help

In Ellington’s view, they bring a skill-set not seen in typical college students.

“These men and women are team builders, they’re problemsolvers, they’ve got leadership skills, they’re highly adaptable,” Ellington said. “So we believe that you take these attributes, these desires, and you couple it with a top-tier education from a school like Princeton, and what you have laid the foundation for is your civic leaders of tomorrow.”

Holden Lindblom, an Army veteran who acts as a type of drill sergeant to work with the 15 participants, is an alumnus of the program.

Growing up in Massachusetts, he was by his own admission a “quite terrible” high school student who nearly dropped out.

“I really just didn’t have motivation or really have my head on straight to be motivated enough to actually get the work done,” he said.

He graduated with what he remembered was either a 1.8 or 2.0

grade point average, and entered the Army looking for structure to help him succeed. He was 17.

Now 24, he served four years, including a combat tour in Afghanistan, in the military. With the skills the Army gave him, he wanted to return to school to “redeem my past failures,” in his words. A few months after getting out in 2015, he attended a twoweek Warrior-Scholar course at Yale.

“It was eye-opening,” he said of that experience. “While I was confident that I thought I would do well, I was still very much afraid that I would fall back on my bad habits and that I was almost too far behind.”

With community college credits under his belt, he is due to enter Stanford University in September as a sophomore to major in economics and minor in computer science.

But it is students like Lindblom that top universities have in mind.

Princeton, through its strategic plan, intends to start accepting transfer students. While the university has not announced when that program will start, the aim, in part, is to attract more veterans as undergraduates, said Princeton spokesman Dan Day.

East Windsor Township will be holding a “Township Document Shedding Recycling Day” from 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, July 12, at the East Windsor Township Senior Center, 40 Lanning Boulevard.

Free document shredding will be available to East Windsor residents to dispose of unwanted and unneeded documents.

There is a limit of 10 boxes

per household, and the service is limited to East Windsor residents. No commercial entities are permitted.

“This is a great opportunity for East Windsor residents to dispose of old or confidential documents in a secure manner,” said Mayor Janice Mironov.

“Document shredding provides a non-recoverable tool for providing

confidentiality and protecting against identify theft.”

That day, residents will be able to drop off and dispose of cell phones and toner cartridges, fluorescent bulbs and batteries. The East Windsor Lions Club will be on-site collecting used eyeglasses, which are cleaned and distributed for use to those in need.

RISE will have trucks onsite to collect clothing, shoes, blankets, housewares (plates, mugs and related items) and usable furniture. Charitable donation receipts will be provided.

Electronics will not be accepted at this event, including televisions, computers, computer monitors and accessories and nonworking appliances. These

electronic items can be dropped off Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. at the Public Works Facility at the corner of Ward Street and Etra Road.

“We are committed to recycling in East Windsor Township and thereby reducing the township’s solid waste costs, while helping to preserve a greener environment,”

said the mayor. “This is an environmentally positive and convenient opportunity for residents to shred documents at no cost and to help support worthwhile area groups and efforts, while helping the township reduce landfill costs and preserve the environment.”

For further information regarding the event, call (609) 443-4000, ext. 215.

Bar, liquor store owners sign ‘We Check for 21!’ pledge

By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

East Windsor Township considers underaged drinking - and the sale of beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages to young people to be a serious issue.

And that’s why Mayor Janice Mironov and Township Council have asked the owners of liquor stores and bars in the township to sign a pledge to participate in the “We Check for 21|” program.

At the June 27 Township Council meeting, the own-

ers of more than a dozen liquor stores and bars signed the pledge in conjunction with - and as a condition of - the annual issuance or renewal of their licenses to sell alcoholic beverages.

“We Check for 21” is an annual program that is essentially a partnership between East Windsor municipal government and the community, Mayor Mironov said. It celebrates the relationship between the municipal government and the license holders.

The program is designed to prevent underage drinking and to heighten the awareness of the problem within the community, according to a resolution adopted by Township Council.

About eight in 10 youths will have consumed alcohol by the time they reach 12th grade, and more than half of them will have become intoxicated at some point, the resolution said.

And about 1,000 drivers between 16 and 20 years old who are involved in fatal driving accidents each

year will be found to have a blood alcohol content in excess of .08, which is the level at which a driver normally can be ticketed for driving while intoxicated, the resolution said.

Underaged drinking can result in a minimum fine of $500, as well as a six-month suspension of a driver’s license. An under-aged drinker whose blood alcohol limit is .02 percent can be charged with driving while intoxicated if he or she is behind the steering wheel of a car.

“The ‘We Check for 21’ program is an excellent vehicle to bring together municipal government leaders, young people, parents, key community and school leaders, policy makers and local businesses toward a common, positive community effort,” the resolution stated.

Mayor Mironov said the consequences of underaged drinking can be quite dramatic, and that’s why this is an important mission. No one wants to see a young person make a misjudgment, she said.

Township Councilman Peter Yeager, who serves on the East Windsor Municipal Alliance for the Prevention of Substance Abuse, said the group is on the front lines of drug and alcohol abuse prevention.

“We would prefer to be on the prevention side of the house and not the treatment side,” Yeager said.

And then, one by one, the owners or representatives of the liquor stores and bars walked up to the podium and signed the “We Check for 21” pledge.

The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey hosts a delightful ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’

By Anthony Stoeckert

Photos by Jerry Dalia

Bucks Playhouse gets big laughs with “The Nerd”

From left: Austin Blunk, Nike Kadri, Jonathan Finnegan, Courtney Mcgowan and Felix Mayes in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

he Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey’s current production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is to be treasured. It’s a wonderful production of a legendary play, told with ingenuity, breathtaking acting, lots of laughter, and a good amount of heart. Be sure to head to the company’s outdoor stage at the College of St. Elizabeth in Morristown through July 30 to see it.

Put aside any notion of Shakespeare being intimidating or hard to relate to, because director Bonnie J. Monte (also the Shakespeare Theatre’s artistic director) and her cast and crew allow the various plot lines to unfurl clearly and with ease.

The play is set in Athens. As the Duke Theseus (Earl Baker Jr.) is ready to celebrate his marriage to Hippolyta (Vanessa Morosco), he is approached by Egeus (Bruce Cromer). Egeus wants his daughter Hermia (Courtney McGowan) to marry Demetrius (Austin Blunk). But Hermia is in love with Lysander (Jonathan Finnegan). Meanwhile, Helena (Nike Kadri) is feeling the sting of rejection by Demetrius.

Egeus cites a law authorizing a father to demand whom his daughter marries, and if she doesn’t obey, she is sentenced to death. Theseus counters by saying if Hermia doesn’t marry as her father wishes, she can become a nun.

Hermia and Lysander run away to the woods, followed by Demetrius, who is followed by Helena.

The woods are the domain of fairies and are run by King Oberon and Queen Titania (played by Baker and Morosco, there’s lots of double duty, even some triple duty, going on in this production).

Oberon and Titania take bickering to a new level.

Oberon orders Puck, a sprite with magical powers, to cast a spell on Titania that will make her fall in love with the first ridiculous creature she sees.

Meanwhile a troop of actors rehearses a play that is part of the king and queen’s wedding celebration.

Puck turns the egotistical actor Bottom (Ian Hersey) into a jackass, and arranges for Titania to fall for him.

Monte also did the set design (as well as the custumes and sound). She and Steven L. Beckel (credited as scenic consultant) have created an ambiguous setting for the play. The columns and parchment say ancient Greece but the neon signs and dresses made of discarded CDs say something else.

Instead of a forest, the action takes place in a junkyard where fairies proudly collect soda cans. You can wonder why Titania takes a nap in a junkyard, but the setting fits, creating a timeless world for this fantasy.

A scene where the actors rehearse is an early

highlight.

Hersey is a delight to watch, as Bottom makes suggestions to a play written by Peter Quince (played

by Cromer). The play is about Pyramus and Thisbe, a pair of star-crossed lovers (it has similarities to another Shakespeare play you might have heard of) and Hersey gets big laughs as Bottom makes suggestions, which just happen to give him all the best lines. Cromer also is terrific as the exasperated writer who massages Bottom’s ego, and tells him he’s too good for certain parts because the audience would never recover from his powerful acting. The scene makes you wonder if Shakespeare ever had to deal with a difficult actor.

In Cromer’s hands, Bottom is more than the butt of jokes. After some very funny scenes where Bottom is a donkey and Titania is infatuated with him, Puck casts another spell that convinces Bottom it was all a dream. Being a donkey can’t be fun, but Bottom did have love from a beautiful woman during the spell, and Cromer can bring a tear to your eye with Bottom’s famous line, “man is but a patched fool if he will offer to say what methought I had. The eye

of man hath not heard, the ear of man hath not seen, man’s hand is not able to taste, his tongue to conceive, nor his heart to report what my dream was.”

McGowan, Kadri, Blunk and Finnegan all are wonderful playing the characters in the lovers’ square. McGowan gets big laughs during the scene where Hermia arrives at the junkyard. She walks through the crowds (a lot of entrances take place in the theater’s aisle) and goes through what audiences at the outdoor stage go through, dragging along a suitcase (audience members bring chairs and often food), then spraying bug repellant all over the place.

Kadri is a delight as Helena fights off crazy love from both Lysander and Demetrius. Puck has made a mess of things with his spells, which leave both men in love with Helena, but she thinks everyone is playing a joke on her. Meanwhile, both Blunk and Finnegan are funny as they frustrate Hermia and chase Helena.

Puck is one of Shakespeare’s most famous characters and Mayes plays him terrifically. Wearing denim and hair spiked like a punk rocker in various colors — green, red, white and black — Mayes speaks Puck’s lines wonderfully, and also gives a terrific physical, make that acrobatic performance with his movements and facial expressions.

The scene where the actors perform their play falls a bit flat, but you’ll be plenty entertained and touched by then that you won’t care. A picnic under the stars watching a production like this is truly a dream for midsummer.

“A Midsummer Night’s Dream” continues at the outdoor theater at the College of St. Elizabeth, 2 Convent Road, Morristown, through July 30. Tickets cost $37; www.shakespearenj.org; 973-408-5600.

Sylvester Sings the Hollies

G

Terry Sylvester is bringing the music of the ’60s to Bordentown

raham Nash was getting disillusioned with the Hollies and the direction the band was taking in the late 1960s. And that ended up being a big break for Terry Sylvester.

During some down time in the Hollies’ schedule, Nash had traveled to Southern California, from his home in England, and met Stephen Stills and David Crosby. The three of them hung out and started singing together.

They all liked what they heard.

The Hollies had been one of the top British groups of the 1960s. In late 1968, the band and its management had decided to record a cover album of Bob Dylan songs, titled “Hollies Sing Dylan,” and Nash was frustrated that his attempts to take the band in a different direction were met with resistance.

“Graham was going through a relationship issue and he came back to England and called a meeting of all the group at the office of the band’s manager and announced he was leaving. Of course that was a tremendous shock to the rest of the Hollies,” Sylvester says. “Graham came in, gave them the news, and then walked out and left them just sitting there.”

Word of Nash’s departure from the Hollies quickly reached Sylvester. He had been with a British band called the Escorts, which had traveled with and opened for the Hollies in the United Kingdom and throughout Europe in the early- to mid1960s, but he was now with a group called The Swinging Bluejeans.

“I started to make inquiries,” Sylvester says. “I had already decided that I was going to join the Hollies. I called the Hol-

Within a few days, Britton had sent a telegram to Sylvester’s parents’ house, requesting that he contact the manger. But Sylvester’s father hung on to the telegram for a few more days without contacting Sylvester, who was on the road with the Swinging Bluejeans.

“I could have missed out there,” Sylvester says. “They were wondering why I didn’t get back to them.”

Eventually, Sylvester did get the telegram, contacted Britton and the manTerry Sylvester of the Hollies will play ager set up a meeting. two shows at Randy Now’s Man Cave “I went down and Allan Clarke, Tony in Bordentown.

And he got the job. Sylvester would reI speak to Robin Britton? Can you tell him I’m the new member of the Hollies.’ That’s place Nash in the Hollies.

“There was all sorts of things, like the what I said. And he was intrigued.”

reason Graham left was because he didn’t want to record ‘Hollies Sing Dylan.’ But he did record ‘Hollies Sing Dylan.’ OK, maybe he didn’t write it, but the real reason was that he just found something new and different,” Sylvester says. “Then he started dating Joni Mitchell.

That’s the truth as I’ve heard it and seen it.”

But it remained a secret in the United Kingdom as to who would be Nash’s replacement. The day of the official announcement, a big reception was held at a local hotel, where Sylvester would be revealed as the band’s newest member and part of its songwriting team.

“I was on the front page of every paper in the United Kingdom,” said Sylvester. “It was absolutely the best day of my life.”

Princeton Summer Theatre’s in a ‘Spider’s Web’

A

gatha Christie is the most famous mystery author of all time, and while she’s best-known for her detective novels, she was also a successful play-

wright.

C. Luke Soucy, the artistic director of Princeton Summer Theatre, is a fan of mysteries, and when he decided to include a Christie play in the 2017 season, he wasn’t drawn to Christie’s famous plays like “The Mousetrap,” “Witness for the Prosecution” or “And Then There Were None.” Instead he’s bringing the little-known play, “Spider’s Web” to the Hamilton Murray Theater, July 13-23.

“Spider’s Web” follows Clarissa (played by Abby Melick), a diplomat’s wife with a habit of telling stories of her adventures. The problem is those stories aren’t true, and she’s about to encounter a bigger problem.

“Clarissa lives in a big old house out in the country and she’s bored a lot of the time,” Soucy says. “So what she does is she tells tall tales and she likes to pull pranks on people, she’s very playful and very entertaining. Then a dead body turns up in her living room, and suddenly she has to talk her way out of it. It’s kind of a ‘Boy Who Cried Wolf’ situation because she’s told so many tall tales that

people are having a hard time believing her.”

Several factors surrounding “Spider’s Web” intrigued Soucy, including the fact that it isn’t one of Christie’s more famous works.

“The Agatha Christie canon is so well known, so for one thing there is a special draw in doing a piece of her work that is maybe less known,” he says. “I think it’s actually one of her least-known works. And for a piece that isn’t so well known, it also is somewhat different from her normal fare. It’s more of a thriller than a mystery.”

It’s a play, he says, that isn’t a “whodunit” as much as it’s a suspense thriller because much of “Spider’s Web” is spent following Clarissa and watching her get out of the situation she’s in.

Soucy says that in putting together Princeton Summer Theater’s season, he wanted a balance of genres and time periods. The season opened with the musical “Pippin,” which is running through July 9. After “Spider’s Web,” Princeton Summer Theater will present Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible,” July 27 through Aug. 6. This season will wrap up with Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ “Appropriate,“ Aug. 10-20.

He says he chose “Spider’s Web” because he is a fan of mysteries and because the mystery/suspense genre added to the diversity of genres in the season lineup.

“There’s a certain theatrical muscle you can flex when you’re directing a mystery or thriller play because so much of trying to direct — trying to story tell, trying to act in the theater — is conveying information about the characters,” he says. “That’s kind of all it is: what do we want the audience to know and what do we want to convey about why the character’s behaving this way? And mysteries are absolutely obsessed with that.”

“Spider’s Web” will be performed at Hamilton Murray Theater on the Princeton University campus, July 13-23. Tickets cost $29.50; www.princetonsummertheater.org; 732-997-0205.

Sylvester Continued from Page 2 more about his time with the Hollies, will be featured along with the music of the group and others when Sylvester performs two shows at Randy Now’s Man Cave in Bordentown, July 8 and 9.

Sylvester has previously appeared at the Man Cave on a couple of occasions and calls Bordentown, “a lovely place.” He plans to give the audience what it wants, which are the Hollies hits, some fun stories and a couple of surprises.

“Maybe a couple of Beatles songs, a Bread song, a Gerry and the Pacemakers song . . . those are more to keep me interested as well,” says Sylvester, who grew up with Paul McCartney in the same Liverpool neighborhood. “I

love the Hollies songs, don’t get me wrong. But I have more fun singing ‘Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Crying,’ that kind of thing.”

Sylvester was just 22 years old when he joined the Hollies in 1969. He was with the band when it recorded some of its biggest hits, including “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother,” “Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress” and “The Air That I Breathe,” which went to No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in 1974.

“It was fantastic. When I joined we were arguably among the biggest bands in the world — the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Beach Boys — we were in the mix,” he says.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2017 7:30PM

Nowadays, things are more laid back for Sylvester. He gets not only to perform — these two shows will be just him and his acoustic guitar — but he gets to be up and close and personal with the audiences.

“You talk about intimate, these shows are going to be like having a party at the house,“ he says. “It’s going to be fun. I’ve got a lot of stories, but it’s all about the music.”

Terry Sylvester will perform at Randy Now’s Man Cave, 134 Farnsworth Ave., Bordentown, July 8, 8 p.m., July 9, 6 p.m. Tickets cost $25; www.mancavenj.com; 609-424-3766.

IN THE KITCHEN

Faith Bahadurian

Summertime is lobster time

Lobster, let me count the ways I love thee. In the beginning there was my family favorite, boiled lobster with melted butter and plenty of lemon. We especially prized large lobsters and to this day I’m not happy with a puny 1 ¼ pound specimen.

We also enjoyed Lobster Newburg, the sauce rich with butter, cream, cognac, sherry, eggs, and cayenne. It was even featured on the Christmas Eve buffet at the old Princeton Inn (now Forbes College). Only rarely, and in a restaurant, did I have baked stuffed lobster, but when I was ambitious myself, I split whole lobsters (while a squeamish friend averted her eyes) and grilled them outdoors down at Long Beach Island.

I finally “discovered” lobster rolls, and like mine with celery, mayo, and lemon juice in a toasted split-top bun.

The version served at Main Street Bistro for many summers is good, as are the ones I’ve had in past years at ONE 53 (with cucumber instead of celery), and Tiger’s Tale. Even the lobster salad I’ve ordered from FreshDirect isn’t bad, in spite of too much mayonnaise.

Other lobster dishes can be found locally. Enzo’s (Lawrenceville) holds summer lobster bakes and makes spicy Fra Diavolo on occasion (follow the restaurant on Facebook to stay in the loop). Antimo’s Italian Kitchen (Hopewell) has excellent lobster ravioli (all lobster!), thanks to Executive Pasta Chef Nino Galastro. I like the lobster flatbread at Seasons 52 and I’ve long been a fan of the lobster mac and cheese at Witherspoon Grill, while other family members go for the lobster risotto. Both Blue Point Grill and Nassau Street Seafood offer steamed lobster meals, and at Tre Piani you might find housemade fettuccine with lobster sauce and mushrooms. I even spied (on Facebook) colorful tandoori lobster at Aarzu Modern Indian Bistro in Freehold.

I’ve yet to have a lobster taco, but if I ever get around to making them I will accompany the meat with avocado, jicama slaw or red cabbage, chipotle crema, and a smoky red salsa.

Or, you could go totally hipster and pile the meat atop avocado toast as below.

Lobster Avocado Toast Adapted from domesticate-me.com.

2 ripe medium avocados 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (or lime juice) Fine grain sea salt 4-6 slices bread (3/4 inch thick is good) 4 ounces cooked, picked lobster meat, chopped into small pieces 1½ jalapeño, thinly sliced or finely chopped 2 teaspoons finely chopped chives Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling Slice avocados in half lengthwise and scoop flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt to taste, and mash with a fork until somewhat, but not completely smooth. Set aside.

Treat yourself, and your guests, to a culinary treat this summer by making lobster the star of a dinner.

Toast bread on both sides. Spread each piece with a thick layer of avocado mash. Top with lobster, then sprinkle with jalapeño and chives.

Drizzle each with just a bit of olive oil.

Finish with a little extra lemon and flaky sea salt, if you like.

bowl. Return mashed potato to pot and add corn kernels, milk, cream, thyme, and reserved lobster. Stir well and simmer gently about 5 minutes, just until corn is crisp-tender. Season with salt and pepper and serve hot with whole sprigs of thyme.

Sweet Corn and Lobster Chowder Adapted from “Hay Day Country Market Cookbook,” Kim Rizk, Workman (1998).

6 ears fresh yellow corn 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 large leek, white part only, well washed and coarsely chopped 12 ounces cooked lobster meat, coarsely chopped 1 pound red-skin potatoes, scrubbed and diced 4 cups fish stock (homemade or purchased) ½ cup dry white wine 1 cup whole milk ½ cup heavy cream 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper Fresh thyme sprigs for garnish Slice corn kernels off cob and set aside, reserving cobs. Heat oil in large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add leek, sauté until transparent and tender, about 5 minutes. Add lobster and sauté another 5 minutes. Scoop out leek and lobster and set aside.

Put potatoes and corn cobs in pot, cover with stock and wine. Bring to simmer over medium heat, cover, and simmer until potatoes are very tender, about 25 minutes.

Remove cobs from pot and discard. Use a slotted spoon to scoop out a cup of potatoes to mash in a small

Lobster With Sizzling Ginger-Chili Oil Adapted from “Everybody’s Wokking,” Martin Yan, Harlow & Ratner (1991).

To use whole lobster, I would steam it with the aromatics (ginger, scallion, cilantro), remove the meat, and pour the sizzling oil over the stillwarm meat. — F.B. 2 8-ounce lobster tails 3 thin slices ginger 2 scallions, including tops, cut in half 10 sprigs cilantro To make the sizzling oil: ¼ cup vegetable oil 1 green onion, including top, cut into 1 ½ inch slivers 1 tablespoon slivered ginger ½ teaspoon minced garlic 2 whole, dried chili peppers (the little red ones) 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil 1 ¼ teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon soy sauce To make the cilantro sprigs for garnish: Use scissors to cut lengthwise along the top of each tail to the end, leaving the fan intact. Spread shell open and carefully pry out the meat, leaving it attached at fan end. Lay meat over top of shell.

a steaming rack. Pour in water to just below level of rack and bring to boil.

Place lobster tails, meat side up, on heatproof dish and set on rack.

Cover and steam until meat turns opaque, about six minutes. Transfer lobster to warm serving platter.

Heat vegetable oil in small saucepan until hot. Stir in slivered scallion, ginger, garlic, chiles, sesame oil, and salt. Remove from heat and add soy sauce (oil will sizzle). Immediately drizzle over lobster, garnish with cilantro sprigs, and serve.

Baked Lobster in Spicy Tomato Sauce Adapted from “Cucina del Mare,” Evan Kleiman, Wm. Morrow and Co. (1993).

Be sure to provide plenty of bibs, and wet clothes or paper towels for this gloriously messy dish. — F.B. 2 live Maine lobster, split in half lengthwise along the back 4 cups Arrabiata (spicy) tomato sauce (not heated) 1 ½ cups garlicky bread crumbs Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place lobster in ovenproof baking dish, side by side, meat side up. Cover with arrabiata sauce. Cover the dish and bake for about 15 minutes, basting once or twice. Sprinkle bread crumbs over lobster and continue baking, uncovered, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until done. Remove lobsters from dish to serving platter, putting the sauce in a bowl for dipping.

Dr. David Lamb

Say goodbye to that pain in your neck If you ever ate a jelly doughnut, you know how the jelly filling can ooze out and make a mess on your hands and fingers.

Well, your cervical discs are much like jelly doughnuts, and when the gel-like substance inside the disc leaks out or dries up, it can cause chronic pain and reduced mobility.

Cervical disc disorders are common, especially as you grow older, but they are often treatable with physical therapy or steroid injections.

However, for patients with severe disc problems, University Medical Center of Princeton offers advanced options for cervical disc surgery, including artificial disc replacement.

Seven small vertebrae Your cervical spine is composed of seven small vertebrae that — along with various muscles and ligaments — form your neck.

These vertebrae protect your spinal cord and the nerves that branch out from the cord, and provide support for your head.

Between each vertebra are cervical discs, which are made of a tough flexible outer ring and a soft, jelly-like center. These discs cushion your vertebrae and serve as shock absorbers when you walk or run.

But wear and tear as you age, and damage from accidents or injuries sustained from physical activities, can cause discs to break down or bulge and rupture (herniate), resulting in pain.

Pain in the neck More than 16 million Americans visited a doctor or hospital for neck pain treatment in 2014, according to the United States Bone and Joint Initiative. And while cervical disc disorders accounted for only 15 percent of those visits, the condition was responsible for 33 percent of neckpain related hospitalizations.

Two of the most common causes of neck pain are a pinched nerve due to a herniated disc and spinal stenosis due to degenerative changes.

When a disc herniates, the gel-

like substance can leak out and put pressure on the nearby nerve, causing pain and weakness in the area the nerve supplies.

In most cases, the pain starts in the neck and travels down the arm in the area served by the damaged nerve. Symptoms include: • Searing pain • Pain that increases with certain neck movements like extending or straining the neck or turning the head • Weakness in the muscles of the arm, shoulder or hand • Loss of sensation • Numbness or tingling in the shoulder, arm or hand Spinal stenosis is a narrowing and stiffing of the spine, caused by degenerative changes that happen with age.

As you grow older, the discs in your spine lose height and begin to bulge. They also lose water content, begin to dry out and become stiffer. Over time, they settle or collapse, and the bony vertebrae move closer together.

In response, your body forms

more bone — bone spurs — around the disc to strengthen it.

However, these spurs cause the spine to stiffen and the spinal canal to narrow, putting pressure on nerves.

For many people, spinal stenosis causes no symptoms, but when symptoms do occur they may include:

• Neck pain, though not always severe • Numbness or weakness in the shoulder, arms and legs • Balance and gait problems • Trouble with fine motor skills, such as buttoning a shirt or zipping a coat • Bladder or bowel problems, in severe cases

Advanced treatment options Most cervical disc disorders can be diagnosed with a physical exam, X-rays and MRI. While X-rays can show any narrowing of the spinal canal, an MRI is necessary to show bulging or herniated discs and detect damSee HEALTH MATTERS, Page 4

Health Matters Continued from Page 1 age to the spinal cord or nerve roots.

Once diagnosed, the first line of treatment for cervical disc disorders typically involves physical therapy and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin or ibuprofen.

In some cases, steroid injections may be recommended to help relieve pain and swelling around the nerve.

If disc problems are severe enough, doctors may recommend surgery. The traditional approach has been cervical disc fusion, which involves placing a piece of bone between the affected vertebrae to create more space and relieve pressure on the nerves.

The downside of cervical disc fusion, however, is that it can affect range of motion.

Now, advances in spinal surgery at UMCP mean some patients may be candidates for artificial disc replacement, which can retain some flexibility and movement while re-

lieving pain.

Like meniscus replacement surgery in the knee, artificial disc replacement involves removing the degenerated disc in the neck and replacing it with an artificial, titanium disc.

The minimally invasive surgery is performed through a 1- to 2-inch incision typically along the neck crease, and can be done in an outpatient setting.

Artificial disc replacement is particularly beneficial for patients who still have good range of motion in their neck.
