Trial set for town employee accused of sex assault By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Princeton animal control officer Saul “Nate” Barson is due to go on trial late this summer to face charges that he had sex with a 13year-old boy in a Pennsylvania park in February. Even as he fights for his freedom, Barson might not have a job to return to regardless of the outcome of the trial, scheduled for Sept. 13, in the Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County, in Doylestown. He has been suspended without pay since Feb. 20, the day of his arrest, from the $53,398-a-year job he has had since July 2015. But this week, Princeton has talked of extending an agreement

with a neighboring municipality to share an animal control officer, and raised the prospect of hiring someone new to fill Barson’s job. “Right now, we have a shared services agreement with Montgomery,” Mayor Liz Lempert said by phone Monday. “I would expect that, if and when there’s a termination, then we can look at the options that are in front of us.” Those options could be to continue the shared services agreement or the hiring of a replacement for Barson, she said. Dr. George DiFerdinando, chairman of the town’s board of health, said Monday that his understanding is that the town would extend the deal with Montgomery for another six months “and then assess where we are at the end of

that period.” “It worked well for the first six months,” he said of the arrangement. “They’ve been providing service in a timely fashion.” But asked if Barson would be welcomed back to his job should he be exonerated, Mayor Lempert replied, “That hasn’t been discussed.” “I’m not comfortable speculating about … this,” she said when asked if the town could deny him his job in that scenario. “At this point, we’re making sure that animal services are being provided to residents.” Barson’s legal troubles have him staring at a lengthy prison term, originating with an encounter on the Internet with a minor. Barson, 29, allegedly met the

victim, a resident of Pennsylvania, through Grinder, a hookup app for gays and bisexuals, the boy testified at a hearing in March. The youth claimed to be curious about making friends and said he had found Barson’s account. Barson, going by the name “Jake,” and the boy later corresponded through Snapchat, the youth has testified, and arranged to meet Feb. 3 at Pat Livezey Park in Solebury Township, Pennsylvania, located a short drive from where Barson was living at the time with his parents in Hunterdon County. The 25-minute-encounter occurred inside Barson’s pickup truck and ended when the boy’s mother arrived on the scene. She copied down the license plate number of the pickup, with authorities arrest-

ing Barson Feb. 20 and charging him with involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, statutory sexual assault, corruption of minors and other offenses that, combined, carry more than 70 years in prison. His trial, originally due to start next week, is scheduled to begin Sept. 13, the Bucks County Prosecutor’s Office said this week. Barson’s defense lawyer Steven M. Jones, a former Bucks County deputy district attorney, did not respond to text or phone messages seeking comment. Barson is free on bail. His subsequent decision to vacation in Disney World, in March, alarmed law enforcement officials. Barson is not allowed to be alone with anyone under the age of 18, per a bail condition.

Talks move forward on Cochrane contract 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.”

Princeton Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane. 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 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

Warrior-Scholar Project James Goins practices his newly learned tactical study skill of "Ninja Reading.”

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 one-week 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.

String of car burglaries prompts police advice By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

In the wake of a string of car thefts that have occurred since June 24, the Montgomery Township Police Department is advising residents to lock their cars and take the keys inside with them. Six cars have been re-

ported stolen from their owners’ driveways within the last two weeks, including two cars that were stolen overnight between July 2 and July 3, police said. All of the cars have been recovered. The motor vehicle thefts have occurred along the County Route 601 corridor, and in all cases, the keys

had been left in the unlocked cars, police said. The police are asking for the public’s help in stopping the car thefts by calling the Police Department immediately - day or night - to report suspicious activity. Residents should call 911. Anyone who has information to share with the Police Department about the

car thefts should call Det. Sgt. Brian Hofacker at 908533-9192. The car thefts follow on the heels of a string of car break-ins, in which thieves have taken cash and electronic items from the unlocked cars. To avoid becoming the victim of a car theft or a car break-in, police advise rolling

up the car windows and locking the car doors. Thieves look for unlocked cars and if a car is locked, they will move on to the next one. Police also suggest turning off the car engine. Never leave the car unattended and with the engine running. Always remove the keys from the ignition and take them with you.

Valuables should never be left in plain sight in the car. Even loose change in a cup holder can attract a thief’s attention, police said. Hide valuable items in the trunk. Police also advise taking checkbooks and driver’s licenses inside the house. Personal documents left in the car can be used for identity theft purposes.

Young people urged to have a fun summer without alcohol By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Summer is the time for young people to celebrate and many do, with the help of alcohol - but it is possible to have a good time without resorting to beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages.

That’s the message that the Montgomery-Rocky Hill Municipal Alliance and the Montgomery Township Police Department wants to get across to teenagers and their parents. “Too many people think underage drinking is harmless, or even worse that it is

acceptable if parents take the car keys away from the teens,” said Devangi Patel, the coordinator for the Montgomery-Rocky Hill Municipal Alliance. “Every year, we hear about teens dying or suffering from alcohol poisoning, sexual assault, cyber bully-

ing and drowning that occur after adults provide alcohol to them,” Patel said. No one has the right to endanger the welfare of someone else’s child by supplying them with alcohol, Patel added. Police Capt. Thomas Wain concurred, and said the Police Department takes

the issue of underage drinking - and the adults who sell or serve alcoholic beverages to them - very seriously. Offering or making available alcoholic beverages to underage persons is a disorderly persons violation, Wain said. This includes enticing or encouraging that person to drink an alcoholic beverage,

Wain said. Parents should know that taking away the car keys does not solve the problem. At least six young people under the age of 21 years old die every day from non-driving alcohol-related causes, such as alcohol poisoning, falls, burns, drowning, homicide and suicide, according to the Montgomery Township Health Department. Young people between 12 years old and 20 years old drink 11 percent of all alcohol consumed in this country, and studies have shown that alcohol consumption by adolescents impairs their intellectual development and may result in permanent brain damage. Consequences of underage drinking do not stop at impaired intellectual development, according to the Health Department.

Singer gets a once-in-a-lifetime Carnegie Hall experience By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Standing on the stage at Carnegie Hall - one of the most prestigious performance venues for classical and popular music - is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that Margot Hutter will never forget. Margot, who is a student at Montgomery Upper Middle School, sang onstage at Carnegie Hall with young vocalists from the around country and around the world in the Middle School Honors Junior Choir June 25. The Middle School Honors Junior Choir is not to be confused with extracurricular musical offerings in the Montgomery Township public school district, such as the Upper Middle School Choir. The Middle School Honors Junior Choir is part of the Honors Performance Series, which was created to showcase accomplished middle school and high school performers on an international level. It allows

Margot Hutter

the participants to study under master conductors and to perform onstage at Carnegie Hall. The singers in the Middle School Honors Junior Choir - the choral group with which Margot performed at Carnegie Hall are invited to participate, following a nomination process that includes sending an audition recording, according to www.honorsperformance.org. Margot auditioned for the Middle School Honors Junior Choir and was accepted after a review by the Honors Selection Board. Her acceptance meant that she would be performing

with her peers from 43 states, plus Canada, Australia and Taiwan. “Being selected to the Honors Performance Series is something each (musician) should be extremely proud of accomplishing,” said Nancy Richardson, the program director. The student musicians who made up the Middle School Honors Junior Choir and other honors groups, such as band and orchestra, spend June 22-26 in New York City. Much of their time was spent rehearsing for their Carnegie Hall performance. The Middle School Honors Junior Choir singers studied with conductor Greg Gilpin, who is an award-winning composer and arranger and choral conductor. Margot is a member of the Princeton Girlchoir. She was chosen for the New Jersey American Choral Directors Association’s Honors Choir for three consecutive years, and she also takes part in musical theater productions in central New Jersey.

Rail crossings plan recommends ‘quiet zones’ By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

The blast of a railroad engine’s horn may become a thing of the past, if improvements to four railroad crossings in Montgomery Township are approved by the state Department of Transportation. Residents who live near the railroad crossings have commented for years about the train whistle, which the

train engineer activates to alert motorists that the train is approaching the crossing. About 22 to 26 freight trains pass through daily on the way to Port Elizabeth, said Township Administrator Donato Nieman. But the areas surrounding the railroad crossings on County Route 601 (The Great Road), Hollow Road, Spring Hill Road and Province Line Road may become a “quiet zone,”

based on the improvements drawn up by a consultant hired by the township. Among the improvements are upgraded crossing gate to prevent motorists from driving around them and onto the railroad tracks when a train is approaching. In addition to improved railroad crossing gates, new equipment will be installed so that the lowering of the gate is made in coordination with the speed of the train.

Elusive bobcat here to stay? By Michele S. Byers

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. 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. To learn more about bobcats in New Jersey, go to www.nj.gov/dep/fgw/ensp/pdf/en d-thrtened/bobcat.pdf.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Group concerned about lack of affordable housing To the editor: We, members of the Princeton Progressive Action Group, in common with many other local residents, are alarmed at the increasingly pressing lack of housing that is available at middle income levels at Princeton. The municipality has begun taking steps to change zoning to reduce the size and control the look of new houses/additions. Making more stringent setbacks, height and coverage requirements could possibly make houses smaller and better-fitting into the streetscape, but these changes alone have not and will not make them more affordable. We encourage the municipality to concentrate the next round of zoning changes on allowing and encouraging the “missing middle homes” described in the Progress Report of the Neighborhood Character Initiative and thus fulfilling the goal of our Master Plan to encourage diversity in our housing stock. Below are three specific suggestions for short term actions that are easy to implement, have low or no impact and will make a substantial difference: 1. Allow “flats” or secondary units that could be rented out by the primary homeowner in the former Borough, similarly to the former township. The income from these flats can help residents stay in their homes longer by offsetting rising taxes or providing money for property maintenance and improvement. 2. Allow residents to convert existing houses with “flats” to twofamily dwellings/duplexes or to build new duplexes. This will not increase the size of houses over what is currently allowed, or increase density since two families are already allowed to occupy these properties. The only difference is that instead of a $1.3 million house with a potential rental unit, there could be two separate units. Since the flat ordinance for larger lots requires one unit to be larger and one to be smaller, there will likely be a unit for sale at $950k and a smaller unit for $350k. We could finally get our desperately-needed homes for

middle-income families and empty-nesters. 3. Reduce parking requirements: Current zoning requires 1.5 cars per dwelling unit. This means 2 cars for a single-family residence and 3 cars for a house with a flat. Often flats are not feasible because the property cannot accommodate the additional parking. Eliminating the parking requirement for a unit that is designed to accommodate aging-in-place could be a win-win for all. In summary, we affirm that the neighborhood character we should protect comprises not just the buildings in a neighborhood, but also the people who live in those buildings. We can start with these simple changes in the short term, while working on the longterm items of form-based zoning and neighborhood character guidelines.

Teens from six towns on mission project Teens returning from a mission trip for the Appalachia Service Project (ASP) will lead worship at 10 a.m. Sunday, July 9, at Princeton United Methodist Church (PUMC). The 23-person team lives in three counties and six municipalities. They will share inspiring stories about making homes warmer, safer, and drier in Rainelle, West Virginia, which was ravaged by flash floods last year. “The PUMC youth program welcomes all teens of all backgrounds, church members and non-church members alike, to participate in the life-changing experience of ASP,” says Skitch Matson, youth pastor. Other adult leaders are Mary Jo and Rich Kahn, Christine Shungu, Robert Scheffler, Matthew Ireland, and Dan Bartell. ASP, a Christian ministry that is open to those of any faith, aims to inspire hope and service — instilling compassion for other people and a fresh appreciation for one’s place and purpose in the world. Preparation was an eight-month process that included learning Appalachian culture (and the poverty many face), basic construction skills, and the meaning of service to others. In addition to the ASP project, youth may participate in Sunday morning classes, youth choirs, and Sunday evening fellowship. Located on Nassau Street at Vandeventer Avenue, PUMC is a diverse congregation, whose members come from many surrounding communities, backgrounds, and faith histories.

Princeton School District makes an offer for Choir College campus By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

The Princeton School District made an “initial proposal” to Rider University to acquire Rider’s Westminster Choir College campus, despite a threat of a lawsuit by a group of Westminster alumni and others fighting to block a sale of the property. Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane said last week that the district is waiting to find out next month if it advanced to the “second round” of consideration. He said he could not say how much money the district is offering for the property, only that the offer was due in June 7. “We signed a nondisclosure agreement, everything is confidenMichele S. Byers is executive director of tial at this point,” Cochrane said by phone. “We’re waiting for the the New Jersey Conservation Foundation in next phase.” Morristown. “I’m imagining that there will be more information that can be forthcoming by the end of the summer,” he said. At a time when district enrollment is growing and expected to grow still more, officials are weighing their options for expansion. www.princetonpacket.com Cochrane said the potential ways the district could use the WestFounded in 1786 minster campus are still “in discussion.” Bernard Kilgore, Group Publisher 1955-1967 Mary Louise Kilgore Beilman, Board Chairman 1967-2005 “And it will probably be something that I can talk more about after we share it … officially with Rider, assuming we get to that point,” Cochrane said. “We haven’t, yet, sat down with them for Mike Morsch Donna Kenyon Regional Editor Executive Editor what I described as that second round to talk to them about what we would be hoping to do. And I think it’s important that I be able to Joseph Eisele Michele Nesbihal share that with them first, before putting out a proposal to the whole Publisher General Manager community through the paper.” mnesbihal@centraljersey.com Rider announced earlier this year that it would be shedding Westminster, a once private music school that has been a part of 145 Witherspoon Street Princeton, N.J. 08542 Rider since 1992, by looking for a buyer for the choir college. For Corporate Offices its part, the university said it would not disclose the names of the 198 Route 9 North, Suite 100 Manalapan, N.J. 07726 bidders. © Packet Media, LLC. 2017. (609) 924-3244 University spokeswoman Kristine A. Brown said Tuesday that All Rights Reserved. FAX (609) 921-2714 (Advertising) Rider is keeping that information confidential “to assure the legitFAX (609) 924-3842 (Editorial) imacy of the process.” “I’m not going to confirm or share any of that information about any of the bidders, no matter who they are,” she said. But a group of Westminster alumni, students and others is fight-

ing back. Two weeks ago, the attorney for the Coalition to Save Westminster Choir College in Princeton sent Cochrane, school board president Patrick Sullivan and municipal attorney Trishka W. Cecil a letter warning of a lawsuit. “It is my understanding that the Board of Education and the town of Princeton are considering a proposal to purchase the buildings and grounds of Westminster Choir College for use in school expansion, creation of a magnet school and other potential school district or municipal uses,” lawyer Bruce I. Afran wrote in his June 14 letter that the Princeton Packet obtained. “The coalition is aware that the board and the town have considered a plan following sale to the municipality or the school district under which the choir college could continue in truncated form in some of the present structures. No such solution is acceptable to the coalition that will litigate if there is any substantive change in the current operation of Westminster Choir College.” Later in the letter, Afran raised the prospect of Princeton University having a role in a deal. “In addition, we are advised that the board and the town recognize that the community will not likely approve a bond issue for the purchase of Westminster Choir College property or for construction of new facilities,” Afran wrote. “My client is aware that the town and the board have considered a loan from a local non-profit organization, including one identified as Princeton University, to effect the purchase of the Westminster campus. To the extent such information is accurate, any such loan would be considered by the coalition to be an illegal measure to avoid calling for a vote on a bond issue. My clients would bring direct litigation against the town and the board to have such loan arrangement declared illegal.” For its part, Nassau Hall on Tuesday dismissed Afran’s claim. “I don’t know what he’s talking about,” said university Vice President and Secretary Robert K. Durkee by phone. “I don’t know what that’s based on.” Afran is representing a group of clients in a class action lawsuit, in New York federal court, to block Rider from selling the school. The suit contends a series of real estate developers, including Toll Brothers, has expressed interest in acquiring the more than 20-acre property. Town zoning rules, though, will influence how the site is used.

As hundreds of thousands of military personnel leave the armed services each year, many of them look to go back to school.

Joan Williamson Clark Joan Williamson Clark, of Colfax, North Carolina, passed away in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on June 12, 2017. Born Betty Joan Wiant on May 13, 1931 in Laramie, Wyoming, her parents were Mary Powell Wiant and Dr. James Stewart Wiant. A 1949 graduate of WestďŹ eld High School in WestďŹ eld, New Jersey, Joan matriculated to Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. She completed her education at Cornell School of Nursing in New York, New York, graduating in 1954 with a Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of Science in Nursing, R.N. Joan then worked as a visiting nurse, serving diverse communities in the Flatbush area of Brooklyn. At Susquehanna, she met Daniel Wade Williamson of Holsopple, Pennsylvania. Daniel and Joan married on June 4, 1955, and they resided in Lawrenceville, New Jersey beginning in 1959. Their years in Lawrenceville raising three children included more than a decade on Manning Lane, a small family community with more than 25 children that grew up together. This green haven nurtured play and friendships among parents and children, with Joan an active contributor to the block parties, pool gatherings, and holiday festivities. She especially loved summers with her family at Long Beach Island, New Jersey. Joan and her family attended the Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville. She actively supported Daniel in his service on the Town Council of Lawrence Township starting in 1966 and his term as Mayor in 1969. After her children were of school age, Joan resumed her nursing career. A specialist in home health services, she worked for Hunterdon Medical Center and Helene Fuld Medical Center as well as volunteer positions at Princeton Medical Center. Daniel passed away in 1985. Joan remarried on Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, 1988 to Herbert H. Clark of Lawrenceville, New Jersey. They were married with all six of their children and Joanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst grandchild in attendance at the Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville. Joan lived a fulďŹ lled life in retirement, ďŹ rst in New Bern and later Colfax, North Carolina. She enjoyed deep friendships drawn from both her and Herbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orbits, her children and seven grandchildren and her cocker spaniel, Ginger, along with games of bridge, walks outside, and conversations with all and many. She is survived by her husband, Herbert H. Clark of Colfax, North Carolina, her brother Dr. James Robinson Wiant (Gertrude) of St. Louis, Missouri, her son Kenneth James Williamson of Haverford, Pennsylvania, her daughter Marcia Anne Williamson Abey (William) of Ewing, New Jersey, her son Bruce Alan Williamson (Paula) of Atlanta, Georgia, her grandchildren Andrew, Allison, Daniel, Finn, Mia, Charles and Rex, her stepson David Clark (Deborah) and many nieces and nephews. A memorial service will be held at River Landing at Sandy Ridge in Colfax, North Carolina on July 15, 2017 at 11 am. All are invited. As an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions may be sent to Presbyterian Homes, River Landing at Sandy Ridge, Residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Assistance Fund. Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.jcgreenandsons.com.

sophomore to major in economics and minor in computer science. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the things that I learned within the military translate incredibly well into the academic setting,â&#x20AC;? he said. 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. On this Wednesday morning, Goins and the other Warrior-Scholars are taking a course inside Lewis Library, a building designed by architect Frank Gehry and named after a wealthy Princeton University alumnus. In a classroom, Professor Shivaji Sondhi is leading them in a discussion on democracy. Afterward, some said Princeton is on their radar as a school

theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to attend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think if anyone in there told you that coming here, after stepping on campus for three days, that the thought of attending Princeton didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cross their mind, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d tell you they were lying,â&#x20AC;? said Bradley Amuso, a 23-year-old Marine, who added he probably would apply to the university. Goins, a native of Nashville, Tennessee, entered the Air Force as a teenager. As of September, he will have served seven years. Once he leaves, one adjustment of returning to civilian life will be living outside the ordered world of the military. Due to leave the armed services in 2018, Goins is looking to go to a four-yearcollege; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken online classes, which he finds to be difficult because he likes the direct contact of being in a classroom asking questions in person. He plans to apply this year to Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania, his top two choices.

Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) developed their main Campus in Lawrence Township in the early 1970s. In 1996, BMS submitted an application for the development of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Phase IIIâ&#x20AC;? which included the expansion of Buildings A-3, L, M-2, M-3 and N and the construction of a 600 space parking lot (Resolution 17-96). This application was later amended to include a new Child Development Center in 1998 (Resolution 20-98/21-98). Following these approvals, only buildings L and the Child Development Center have since been constructed, as well as a portion of the approved parking areas. An application for Module A-3 (Resolution 29-01), Module G-3 (Resolution 32-01), and Cooling Tower Upgrade (Resolution 21-02) was submitted and approved by the Lawrence Township Planning Board, but the improvements were never constructed. In support of a corporate shift in employees, resulting in an increase of staff to the Lawrence Campus, BMS is now proposing to construct Buildings M and N (originally included in the Phase III approval) as well as two (2) parking garages and expanded surface parking (of which 288 spaces were previously approved under the site plan application for the Phase III improvements), and two (2) small building additions at Building B-1 and G-1. The current application for Buildings M/N consists of two (2) connected research laboratory buildings (with a total square footage of approximately 231,700 square feet, excluding mechanical areas). With this application, the undersigned has applied for the following approvals: (i) preliminary and final major site plan approval for Buildings M and N, consisting of + 231,700 square feet, excluding mechanical areas, of floor area, together with additional surface parking, two (2) parking garages and related site improvements; (ii) a bulk variance to allow the east parking garage to be four levels (three stories permitted); (iii) a bulk variance to allow the total number of parking spaces to exceed the 2,720 permitted for the site (10/acre permitted);

FISH TALE Now that 75 is considered to be the new 65, it’s never too late to adopt a healthy diet, since lifelong eating patterns are the best predictor of longterm health outcomes. With this in mind, it helps to eat foods that have been linked with living longer lives. According to a recent study of nearly 9,000 men and women aged 65 years and older, those who ate more fish, fruits, and vegetables were most likely to live the longest. It was found that fish intake of at least two servings per week was associated with an 11% increased chance of living longer, while eating at least one fruit and one vegetable daily increased the chances of greater longevity by 10%. Healthy eating does change a little as you age. For example, your metabolism slows, so you need fewer calories than before. Your body also needs more of certain nutrients. That means it’s more important than ever to choose foods that give you the best nutritional value. To schedule an appointment, please call ROBERT PLATZMAN, D.O. at 609-9218766. I accept Medicare and most insurance. The office is located at 601 Ewing St., Suite C7, in Princeton. Our website, www.drrober tplatzman.com, has more information about our practice. P.S. According to the study mentioned above, those seniors who consumed four or more cooked vegetable or fruit servings a week enjoyed a 20% decrease in mortality risk.

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.”

HAVE TROUBLE FLOSSING? As effective as flossing is at removing plaque and food particles from between teeth, some people find floss difficult to handle. Others may have trouble reaching certain areas of their mouths with floss. Fortunately, there is an alternative to floss, which is just as effective and easier to use. Oral irrigation with a water-flossing device uses the pressure of a forceful stream of water to remove food from teeth and massage the gums. While oral irrigators of this sort are certainly more expensive than simple floss, they are a very good investment for those looking to maintain the health of their teeth and gums. These devices are particularly good at reaching areas of the mouth that may elude floss users. Oral irrigators are ideal for people who wear braces because water gets in between the wires and brackets easily.

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.

Barratt takes next step in hockey journey By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

Evan Barratt could not have plotted his career path on the ice any better. Barrett spent two years on the ice hockey team at The Hun School in Princeton, scoring 23 goals and added 38 assists as a freshman before missing his sophomore season with an injury. It was later in his sophomore year at Hun that Barratt received an invitation to attend a tryout for the USA Hockey Under17 National Team. “My sophomore year at Hun I was lucky enough, even though I had been injured during the season, to get an invite to try out for the national team,” Barratt said. “I went up there for a couple days for the tryout before school ended and then found out I had made the team. It was awesome. I had no idea it was even possible.” Barratt went on to play for the U17 National Team and then this past year for the U18 National team. The USA U18 team won gold at the U18 World Junior Cup in Slovakia, going 6-1 in the tournament as Barratt had a goal and five assists in the seven games. He finished the season with 18 goals and 38 assists last year for U18 National Team. Barratt’s good fortune continued after the season, as he committed to play for former Princeton University coach Guy Gadowsky at Penn State University. And less than two weeks ago Barratt was drafted No. 90 overall in the third round of the NHL draft by Chicago Blackhawks. “It was a big turn in my life, moving away from home and then being there the past two years,” Barratt said of his time with the national team, which trains in Ply-

mouth, Mich. “These have been the best two years of my life. They have impacted me in terms of on and off the ice. Building great relationships and success with a great group of guys has been very rewarding. “I feel like every decision I made along the way has been the right one.” Barratt, a Bristol, Pa. resident, had two very productive years in the United States National Team Development Program. He realized a dream come true when he signed with Penn State, and now has realized another lifelong dream after being drafted by the Blackhawks. The incredible ride started with a gold medal winning performance by Barratt and the U18 team at the World Championships. “Everyone asks me about it and I still can’t put it into words,” Barratt said. “It has been an unbelievable experience to represent my country on the world stage. It took two years of dedication and hard work from every staff member. Everyone made it great to go there every day. We had a rough first year like most teams getting used to a new coach and changing styles. We had an awesome group and we knew success was going to follow all the hard work.” Barratt is now part of the program at Penn State. He arrived earlier this summer to get started with classes and will take the ice for a team that went 25-12-2 last year, winning the Big 10 championship and reaching the second round of the NCAA tournament. “Penn State was a no-brainer for me,” Barratt said. “The coaching staff is unbelievable and the guys they have here are fantastic people. I have been here a week and a half and taking summer

He will play the upcoming season at Penn State University. courses and working out. It has been an awesome time already. Being able to step into a rising program is something that made this a no-brainer. It has been fantastic. I am three hours from home and can go home for a weekend if I want to. It is perfect.” On the second night of the NHL draft in Chicago, Barratt realized another dream come true when he was selected by the hometown Blackhawks in the third round. “I thought it was possible,” said Barratt, who was in Chicago for the draft. “I worked hard with the national program to get a chance to hear my name get called. It was an incredible feeling.

To get your name called and know a team wants and cares for you in the best league in the world, it is amazing. I feel like everyone has seen the photos of me after my name was called. To be in Chicago and hear the cheers was an amazing experience.” Barratt’s next stop on his hockey journey will be Penn State. But beyond that he hopes for a successful career in the NHL. “I don’t have a set timetable,” Barratt said. “I will just keep working. In my case with Chicago, whenever they feel it is best for me to leave, whether that is two or three years or I am here all four years, it is really up to us.”

Grundy keeps growing hoops in Montgomery By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

No matter what time of year, it’s tough to keep Kris Grundy away from the basketball court. Grundy recently completed his 13th season as the head boys basketball coach and 16th season overall at Montgomery High School. In addition, he is about to begin his 13th summer of running basketball camps in Montgomery, where his Grundy Hoops Academy has laid the foundation for a successful high school basketball program. “The first three years I helped run the camps,” Grundy said. “When I got the head coaching job, along with being the head coach you get the opportunity to run your own camps. We have blown it up to make it better than it had been. Now we have a website (grundyhoops.com) and a Facebook page. It has gotten pretty big. “A lot of the people in community tell me going to a Grundy Hoops Academy camp is an experience unto itself. I hear about kids running around the Cherry Valley pool talking about going to camp and who won what game. We try to make it exciting to learn basketball.” This summer Grundy will have three full weekly sessions of camp for boys in grades 3-9 beginning July 10. The camp runs from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. from Monday through Friday at Montgomery High School. There will also be a session for boys entering grades 1-3 that will be held Aug. 14-17 at the Otto Kaufman Center from 911:30 a.m. “We run one week of that from Monday through Thursday and bring in small baskets for grades 13,” Grundy said of the session for younger players. “That is usually their first experience in a camp atmosphere. This past spring for the first time we ran a Sunday morning skills development clinic for

It’s a chance to learn the game in a fun atmosphere. “They want to be a part of Montgomery basketball and that is where it starts,” Grundy said. “I just got a great letter from a kid who is a rising freshman and talking about his experience growing up and going to the camps and the nicknames we would give the players. He and his friends would say they can’t wait until they get back for the next session. “It’s not a selective process. It’s just the nature of the beast that

those kids coming to camp are ones who will continue to play basketball for the high school team.” Not everyone who attends the Grundy Hoops Academy will eventually play at the high school level. Some may not play beyond the camps themselves. In the end, all that matters of getting kids on the court and enjoying the sport. “You don’t have to be an experienced player to come,” Grundy said. “We have had players that are brand new to basketball right up to the most experienced players. It doesn’t matter what your experience level is, you will have a good time. The kids learn fundamentals through skill work and we have competitions where they can win prizes. This year we have something new, Grundy Hoops Academy fidget spinners. Appar-

ently they are all the rage this year. For Grundy and his staff, teaching basketball is fun no matter what time of the year. They offer Friday Night Skills Development for eight weeks in the fall and the spring. There are opportunities for private lessons and group lessons, as well as an annual Spring Break Camp. “The Friday Night Skills Development is 75 minutes of intense drill work,” Grundy said. “The whole thought is to just keep the kids dribbling a basketball. If a ball is in their hands they will just keep getting better.” The Grundy Hoops Academy is open to residents and non-residents of Montgomery.

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

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

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.

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.” Those kind of stories, and

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

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

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) Â½ cup dry white wine 1 cup whole milk Â½ 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: Â¼ cup vegetable oil 1 green onion, including top, cut into 1 Â½ inch slivers 1 tablespoon slivered ginger Â½ 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. Crush ginger, scallion, and cilantro with flat side of cleaver to bruise slightly. Place them in a wok and add

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 Â½ 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.

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.
