Zoners deny Verizon cell tower proposal

By Andrew Martins Managing Editor

More than a year of hearings on a plan to construct a 126-foot tall cell tower near a residential area ended in applause yesterday, as the Hillsborough Township Zoning Board of Adjustments unanimously voted to deny the application.

For more than two hours, the board deliberated on a number of positive and negative aspects surrounding the proposal from Verizon Wireless, which sought to build a monopole tower on the property of the Woods Road Fire Company No. 3 firehouse.

“On behalf of my clients, we’re thrilled with the result. We believe that the board appropriately considered all of the criteria under both state law and federal law,” attorney Robert F. Simon, who represented a group of residents who live near the firehouse, said after the decision. “[They] ac-

curately addressed the applicant’s burden of proof in determining that the application should be denied.”

A representative from Verizon attorney Warren Stilwell’s office declined to comment.

For those in attendance who had been following the application since early last year, the board’s determination was an affirmation of their concerns.

“Obviously, the positive outcome for the homeowners in the area is incredible. I think that the board did an incredible job of being very thorough through this,” Hillsborough resident John Moretti said.

This latest decision is now the second instance where a cellular service provider was denied a chance to construct a tower on the firehouse property.

Under the proposed plans from Verizon, the telecommunications company needed to seek a number of variances before construction

School board seeks to fill vacancy after Cohen resigns

By Andrew Martins Managing Editor

A deadline for applicants to become the latest member of the Hillsborough Township Board of Education has been extended by district officials more than a week after one member vacated his seat.

Steven Cohen, who had originally been elected to a three-year term on the school board in November 2014, officially resigned on June 19. A resolution accepting his resignation, along with the resignation of other unrelated district officials, was unanimously accepted by the board.

Details surrounding Cohen’s departure from the board have yet to come out and he could not be reached for comment.

Though other board members could not be reached for a comment on the nature of Cohen’s resignation, board member Jean Trujillo said she was “sorry to see him go.”

“I didn’t get a chance to work closely with Steve, but I sat in on one of his committee meetings.

Steve is passionate about the school board’s work,” she said. “I had been looking forward to learning from him.”

Prior to the June 19 meeting, of

which Cohen only attended the executive session, the former board member had not attended a meeting since May 8.

According to the district, whomever is chosen to serve out the remainder of Cohen’s term will do so until it was to end on Jan. 7, 2018. Since it is an expired term, the selected individual will be able to run for a full three-year term this November.

In order to be considered, all applicants must be an United States citizen, must be a Hillsborough resident for at least a year, must be literate, must be registered and legally able to vote and must not concurrently hold office as a member of the township’s governing body.

All applications must arrive at the Board of Education office by 3 p.m. on July 13. Applications must be submitted to Hillsborough Township Board of Education, c/o Mr. Aiman Mahmoud, Board Secretary, 379 South Branch Road, Hillsborough, NJ 08844.

The board will hold a public meeting on Monday, July 17 at the Auten Road Intermediate School Cafeteria to interview all qualified candidates.

was to take place. Primarily, the plans called for the ability to place the monopole cell tower and its equipment closer to homes than the prescribed 1,000 foot distance.

Verizon also requested a variance to come within 2,000 feet of the Woods Road Elementary School (the proposed tower would be 940 feet away), and to exceed the allowable maximum 35-foot height for a structure in the zone.

Though the zoning board had the township’s Master Plan and existing ordinances to consider, Zoning Board Chairman Dr. Steven Sireci said the nature of the project made their decision making more complicated.

“The complication here is that there is federal law, there is state law and there is local law in the form of ordinances,” he said.

“They are not necessarily consistent with each other and part of the complexity of a decision like this is to try to get something as consistent as possible with three sep-

arate levels of law.”

To that end, Sireci had board members go over a list of positive and negative criteria and put their positions on each point into the record. The thought process, according to Sireci, was to reduce the potential for a judge to overturn the decision based on an insufficient amount of detail from the board if an appeal was made

by Verizon.

When it came to the usefulness of increased cell coverage for the area, the board admitted that Stilwell and his lineup of expert witnesses sufficiently proved there was a need. What he was not able to convince the board, however, was that the proposed location was suitable for that need.

Board member Helen Haines said she specifically remembered testimony from both Verizon radio frequency engineer David Stern and the board’s independently hired radio frequency expert, Dr. Bruce Eisenstein, that showed the

cell tower would not cover the entire area.

The board members later said they were bothered by the fact that there were alternate sites that could potentially address the gap more efficiently but had not been aggressively sought out by Verizon.

“Could they have done a better job? Absolutely,” board member John Stamler said. “Was it reasonably done and in good faith, I would say ‘yes’ but it could have been done a lot better. It’s not the board’s responsibility to suggest sites.”

Fellow board member Steve Monte said he did not “believe that Verizon did [their search] in good faith.”

Noting conflicting testimony about the proposed project’s impact on property values from the testimony of Simon and Stilwell’s appraisers, the board determined See VERIZON, Page 3A

Manville man indicted 17 times for burglary, theft

By Andrew Martins Managing Editor

A 19-year-old man could face a state prison term of five to ten years for his alleged involvement in a string of burglaries that ended when he was shot in the chest by an off-duty police officer.

A Somerset County Grand Jury indicted Tyreek Cook, of Manville, with nine counts of second and third degree burglary, six counts of third and fourth degree

theft, one count of third degree unlawful taking a means of conveyance and one count of fourth degree hindering apprehension.

Somerset County Prosecutor Michael H. Robertson announced on Thursday that eight of the nine burglary charges stemmed from residential and vehicular burglaries and thefts that took place throughout Manville between March 15 and March 20.

The final count of theft, according to Robetson, is the result

of Cook’s alleged involvement in a residential burglary and theft that took place on March 17 in Plainfield, Union County. In that incident, Cool was allegedly in possession of a stolen vehicle.

Cook’s alleged five-day theft and burglary spree came to an end just after midnight at a North 5th Avenue residence in Manville when he became engaged in a physical altercation with the homeowner, who happened to be an off-duty police officer.

During the struggle, officials said the off-duty officer shot Cook in the chest.

Police said the homeowner applied life-saving techniques to Cook until Manville police officers arrived. The 19-year-old was subsequently transported to a local trauma center for emergency treatment, where he was listed in critical condition.

Officials said the homeowner, whose name was withheld by au-

to the structure itself, eventually deciding that there were some concerns to having a tower as tall as the one proposed so close to homes.

Ultimately, the discussion came down to the project’s impact on the township’s Master Plan, with the board deciding there were too many variances needed for the project to get off the ground.

“I feel that the negative impact outweighs the benefit of the good,” Monte said.

“The application is just ask-

ing for too many zoning changes.”

Moving forward, the zoning board will have to draft and approve a resolution certifying its decision.

After that, there will be a window for appeals from Verizon.

Regardless of what happens, Moretti said the group of residents who challenged the application will continue the monitor the situation.

“I am hoping that this is the end. This has been a lot

of stress on the homeowners in the area...it has brought much negative press to the firehouse and it has not helped the community,” he said. “That being said, I have met so many new neighbors and made so many new relationships. A good thing that came out of this unfortunate thing was getting to know my community and neighborhood much better.

Sireci did, however, mention that aesthetic concerns held no weight in court.

Cellilli, who has a background in real estate, also stated that despite the conflicting testimony on whether the tower would negatively impact nearby property values, she believed it would have a detrimental result for homeowners.

“There is no comparable property that was presented in evidence to show that the

value of a home would decrease or increase in value if there is [a cell tower] in an existing residential property,” she said. “We don’t know how it’s going to impact the property, but in my experience, it will decrease the value of the property.”

Ultimately, the board determined that neither side provided any concrete proof that the tower would negatively impact property values.

THE STATE WE’RE IN

By Michele S. Byers

Is the elusive bobcat here to stay in New Jersey?

Bobcats are New Jersey’s only native wildcat. But they’re not wild about people! Just ask Tyler Christensen, a photographer and wildlife researcher who has spent years stalking bobcats, considered endangered in New Jersey.

“I’ve never seen a bobcat in person here in New Jersey,” says Tyler. “They’re so secretive, they avoid people like the plague. You can study these cats your whole life and not see one.” It doesn’t help that bobcats are active mainly at night and during twilight hours.

That’s why remote photography is a priceless tool for Tyler and other bobcat researchers. Tyler has captured many bobcat images using unmanned, motion-triggered cameras.

This past January, acting on a tip about bobcat sightings along the route of the proposed PennEast gas pipeline in Hunterdon and Mercer counties, Tyler set up remote cameras at seven locations.

It took three months, but his efforts paid off. In March, one of Tyler’s remote cameras along the pipeline route captured a clear image of a bobcat that was later verified by wildlife experts.

The image is evidence that bobcats are expanding their range beyond Warren, Sussex, Morris and Passaic counties.

It was only about 40 ago that bobcats had essentially vanished from New Jersey due to habitat loss.

Bobcat restoration efforts began in the late 1970s, when state wildlife officials trapped cats in Maine and brought them to New Jersey. From 1978 to 1982, 24 bobcats were released in sections of Warren, Sussex and Morris counties north of Interstate 80. In 1991, the bobcat was placed on the state’s endangered species list.

It appears that they are now on the rebound, although exact numbers are as elusive as the cats themselves.

The state’s Endangered and Nongame Species Program counts bobcat numbers and monitors population trends.

The state uses a number of methods, including trapping bobcats and outfitting them with radio collars, using trained dogs to detect bobcat scat in the woods, and installing video cameras at highway locations where animals are known to use drainage culverts and stream crossings to get from one side of the road to the other.

Another source of data, sadly, includes dead bobcats found along roadsides, the victims of motor vehicle collisions. Researchers from the Endangered and Nongame Species Program collect the bodies, test the DNA and keep track of “mortality hot spots.”

Conservationists are working to protect bobcat habitat in northern New Jersey. The New Jersey Chapter of The Nature Conservancy recently launched “Bobcat Alley,” a project to create a corridor of preserved land connecting the New Jersey Highlands with the Kittatinny Ridge, the easternmost edge of the Appalachian Mountains in New Jersey.

About a third of Bobcat Alley’s 32,000 acres are preserved, and The Nature Conservancy hopes to preserve another 3,500 acres within the next five years.

It remains to be seen what measures will be taken to protect bobcats in other parts of this state we’re in - especially areas that would be impacted by the PennEast pipeline, should it be built.

PennEast previously stated that it has no plans to survey for bobcat in order to avoid or minimize impacts on the

species, claiming that the pipeline route does not contain suitable bobcat habitat. And the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) opted not to require PennEast to assess the environmental damage the project would cause to New Jersey’s natural resources, including rare animals like bobcats and their habitats.

Clearly, judging from Tyler Christensen’s photo, there’s much more to be learned about bobcat habitat in the Hunterdon-Mercer area.

Should PennEast apply again for permits, it will be up to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) to closely scrutinize the impacts the pipeline would have on bobcats and other endangered, threatened and special concern species.

The Endangered and Nongame Species Program has done a great job restoring bobcats in New Jersey, so let’s hope the Department of Environmental Protection will take action to protect their habitats and ensure their continued recovery in this state we’re in.

COLLEGE CONNECTION By Susan Alaimo

Where to get an MBA for an (almost) guaranteed job At the end of 2016, 70 percent of last year’s high school graduates were enrolled in college, according to statistics by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. But for many students, even a college degree won’t mark the close of their formal education. Those seeking to gain an edge on the job market and further their academic credentials often seek an advanced degree. An M.B.A. (Masters in Business Administration) is frequently the degree of choice for those hopeful to clinch a high paying job in the world of finance, management, accounting, or other field of business.

When choosing a business school, an important statistics to consider is the job placement rate - the percent of students employed three months after graduation. Five of the ten MBA programs that topped such a list, prepared by U.S. News and World Report, are in New Jersey or neighboring Philadelphia.

It’s no surprise that the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business, which tied Harvard academically as the best graduate business school in the country, reported 95.5 percent of its 639 MBA graduates employed soon after graduation. Of course, it’s no easy task to gain admission to this prestigious school which was the U.S.’s very first business school and now has the largest alumni network in the country.

Two other Philadelphia schools, Temple University and La Salle University, ranked first and fourth, respectively, for “percent employed three months after gradu-

ation.” Temple‘s Fox School of Business reported 100 percent of its 37 MBA graduates secured a job, while La Salle reported 96.4 percent of its 55 graduates accepted a job. As for their academic ranking, Temple secured 32 nd place while La Salle was listed as RNP (Rank Not Published).

Two New Jersey institutions earned high rankings.

The 54 MBA graduates at Rutgers University (Newark and New Brunswick) enjoyed a 96.3 percent employment rate while their graduate business school ranked 50th in the country. The 176 MBA graduates at Stevens Institute of Technology bragged a 97.2 percent employment rate while their graduate business school ranked 83rd in the country.

Students looking to spread their wings, while attending an MBA program with a high three month job placement rate, should consider the other colleges/universities that rounded out the top ten list: University of Washington, Washington University in St. Louis, Northeastern University, Dartmouth College and Michigan State University.

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

Bucks Playhouse gets big laughs with “The Nerd”

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.

MUSIC

MUSEUMS

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
