Officers go beyond the call of duty Make injured little boy feel special By Mike Morsch Regional Editor
Connor Davison is a typical little boy - he likes to play outside with his cousins. Plus he loves the lights and loud sirens on police and fire vehicles. But Connor had some unfortunate luck recently at Cranbury Police Department’s National Night Out in early August. While playing in the bounce house, the 3-year-old had a mishap and fractured his right leg. Cranbury Fire Chief Mike Kervan tended to the boy and put an ice pack on the injured youth’s leg. Connor’s mother, Erin Davison, then took him to the hospital where her fears were confirmed - Connor did indeed have a broken leg.
Word of Connor’s injury made its way to members of the Cranbury Police Department. And that’s when Sgt. Gregory Pfremmer and Officer Michael Cipriano went into action. “The two officers cared so much that they came to the house and made my son feel better,” said Erin. The law enforcement officials presented Connor with a Cranbury junior police badge, a bracelet and a gift certificate for ice cream at Gil and Bert’s. Connor’s cousins, Gavin and Griffin Rodriguez, also received the gifts from the officers as well. “When they officers found out Connor was hurt, they came right over, no questions asked,” said Erin. “These two officers and all the officers at the Cranbury
Police Department are so friendly and are like family to all of us. The boys were excited to see them and they look up to them. Plus, they love the loud sirens and lights.” Erin said she is thankful that she and her family live in a community where the police care about the residents. “The Cranbury police and fire department always do a great job to protect our town,” she said.

Safety Continued from Page 1 Under state law, children who are under 2 years old and who weigh less than 30 pounds must be in a rearfacing car seat with a fivepoint harness. Once the child reaches age 2 or exceeds 30 pounds, the car seat can be turned around to face forward. Children who are at least 2 years old must remain in a car seat with a five-point harness until they reach age 4 or 40 pounds. Then, they can sit in a booster seat. They have to ride in the booster seat in the rear seat of the car until they reach 8 years old or 57 inches tall. If the motor vehicle is a pickup truck or a sports car
that lacks a rear seat, the car seat can be placed on the front seat - but the passenger-side airbag must be disabled if a baby or toddler is using a rear-facing car seat. Otherwise, a child can ride in the front seat in a car seat or booster seat. Citing sources as varied as AAA and the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety, Mayor Mironov said that car crashes are the top cause of death for children under 14 years old in the United States. Properly installed child safety seats can prevent injuries and save lives, but four out of five child safety seats are not properly installed, Mayor Mironov said, citing those sources.
Children who are restrained in a child safety seat have an 80-percent lower risk of fatal injury compared to those who are not restrained. The seats reduce fatal injuries by 71 percent for infants, and by 45 percent for children ages 1-4. “The proper use of child safety seats is one of the simplest and most effective means to protect young children passengers,” Mayor Mironov said. “This pro-active initiative is to focus publicly on the high value of using child safety seats and using them properly. Residents will be given literature offering tips on child safety in vehicles.”

Tough opener for Princeton High School football By Bob Nuse Sports Editor
The Princeton High School football team opened the season with plenty of optimism. And that optimism carried right through the first three plays of last Saturday’s season-opening game against Hamilton West in Princeton. On Hamilton West’s first play from scrimmage, Princeton senior Moses Mahiri recorded a sack that led to an 8-yard loss. Two plays later, junior defensive back Isaac Webb intercepted a pass, giving Princeton possession of the football. Unfortunately, the positive momentum didn’t last much longer for the Little Tigers. On their first offensive play, senior quarterback Vince Doran was injured and would not return. On the next play,
freshman quarterback Jake Renda connected with Webb on a 22-yard pass play, but Webb left the game with an injury and would play just one more series during the remainder of the game. With the injuries taking their toll, Princeton went on to suffer a 39-0 loss after such a promising start. “We did have a great defensive stand,” said Princeton coach Charlie Gallagher, whose team returns to action on Saturday against Pemberton. “But football is more than just one defensive stand. We’re going to take a deep breath and get ready for our game next week. It’s an unforgiving game and that is what makes it a great game. We’ll be out here again next week and we need to be prepared and we will be. I am still very excited about this team. It’s a great bunch of
guys, and the bottom line is, you can still only put 11 guys out there at a time. It’s our 11 against their 11 and we’re going to out our best 11 out there.” Injuries played a huge roll in the opening loss for the Little Tigers, who played Hamilton West to a scoreless tie for most of the first quarter. But the Hornets got on the scoreboard with a safety late in the opening quarter for a 2-0 lead before scoring a touchdown on their next offensive play to make it 9-0. The score was 30-0 by halftime. “We talked about adversity and persevering,” Gallagher said. “We’ll do what we have to do. These are resilient kids and they’ll find a way to get better.” Renda was thrust into the quarterback role after the injury to Doran and performed well. The freshman completed 14 of 25 passes

lagher said of Renda. “I know he will do a nice job for us. He’s a very appreciative kid and I think he knows he has a great opportunity and he is going to take full advantage of it.”
Princeton will need to wait and see how the injuries affect the team in the long run. Regardless of who is on the field, Gallagher expects his team to continue to put forth a strong effort.

Oh, the Joy Princeton Symphony Orchestra will perform Beethoven's ninth symphony and Tchaikovsky’s '1812 Overture' at Richardson Auditorium Photo by Kevin Birch. Princeton Symphony Orchestra will open its new season with well known music by Beethoven and Tchaikovsky.
By Anthony Stoeckert
rinceton Symphony Orchestra is bringing two legendary classical works to Richardson Auditorium. In the orchestral equivalent of a rock cover band playing “Free Bird” and “Stairway to Heaven” in the same set, PSO is opening its new season with a concert featuring Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, Op. 125, and Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture.” The works are so popular, in fact, that the orchestra will perform the program twice, with concerts set for Sept. 16 at 8 p.m. and Sept. 17 at 4 p.m. in Richardson Auditorium on the Princeton University Campus. During the concerts, the orchestra will be joined by The Westminster Symphonic Choir, the senior choir of Westminster Choir College featuring juniors, seniors and graduate students. The choir will sing the famed "Ode to Joy" choral in the Beethoven symphony. Soloists are soprano Alexandra Batsios, alto Anne Marie Stanley, tenor Francis Williams and baritone Thomas Lynch, all of whom are graduates of Westminster Choir College. Joe Miller will direct the choir. The concerts mark the first time the choir has sang with the orchestra since Rossen Milanov became PSO’s music director in 2009. Milanov says the concerts are significant for two reasons. The first is the orchestra adding a concert from its classical series on a Saturday night; and second the opportunity to play with the Westminster Symphonic Choir on the Beethoven symphony and the "1812 Overture." “I think the program is very exciting because the Tchaikovsky version of '1812 Overture,' which is quite familiar to practically everybody, in this concert it will be heard in a version that features the chorus," Milanov says. "It will be quite exciting to have them participate on both parts and also to hear them in this rarely performed version of the '1812 Overture' for chorus and orchestra.” Milanov says the popularity of Beethoven's ninth allowed for two concerts as opposed to the usual Sunday afternoon concert PSO presents for its classical series concerts. “Our audiences are growing, and the challenge is to find room for expansion, particularly in Princeton where we know the cultural calendar sometimes can seem quite saturated as far as the number of events," he says. "It was exciting for us to sort of find that opportunity with a big, popular, important piece, such as Beethoven’s ninth symphony and do it twice.” While the ninth is an oft-performed piece, Milanov says Richardson Auditorium will create a more intimate experience than is found in larger halls where it's usually performed. "There’s always an advantage to hearing the subtleties in this music, and also an orchestra that is, perhaps, a little closer to what Beethoven envisioned in size," Milanov says. "Because it’s easier to do the ninth symphony with a super-big orchestra in a concert hall that sits 2,500 people

"You because of the fourth movement and “Ode to don’t normally find this piece performed too often Joy” but Milanov says that's just one part of what — who has a string quartet as a soloist every day? Probably not too many orchestras.” Beethoven's final symphony has to offer. The quartet also will perform the "Birds" “It’s a full-on symphony so it has four movements and the last one, of course, happens to by Ottorina Respighi.

FAMILY FUN By Anthony Stoeckert
Happy Birthday Dear Arts Council ... Head to the Paul Robeson Center for family fun and the opening of an art exhibit
The Arts Council of Princeton is celebrating the big 5-0. On Sept. 16, the arts council will mark half a century of art education and bringing people together with a birthday celebration at the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts. Activities at the family-friendly event will include music, games, prizes, art projects, a treasure hunt, food and more. After the big party, the arts council will open its 50th Anniversary Invitational Exhibition at the Taplin Gallery in the arts center. “There are about 75 artists who have a relationship with us, and have had one with us over time, who have submitted some art,” says Taneshia Nash Laird, the arts council’s executive director. “And that art is going to be on exhibit in three locations: here at the arts council in our Taplin Gallery; at the Princeton Public Library; and at the Princeton Day School in their Anne Reid Art Gallery. There’s a lot of stuff that’s going to be happening just on that day and that really is the kickoff of a year-long celebration of our 50th anniversary.” Laird says celebratory activities will be fused into many of the arts council’s annual events, including the 50th anniversary Dining by Design gala at Frick Chemistry Laboratory on the Princeton University campus, Oct. 28; the spring fundraiser Pinot to Picasso; and Communiversity in April. The Arts Council of Princeton was started in 1967 by a group of people who wanted to promote the arts in Princeton and help bridge the gap between the Princeton community and the university. Among those was Anne Reeves, who was the founding director of the arts council. “It’s a community,” Reeves says of the arts council. “It was one marvelous community and the people made it with their creativity and with the various cultures that come when

She had a perspective on both because her husband went to the university and they lived in Princeton. “I realized there was a glass ceiling between the two,” she says. “And it was foolish — you could get all kinds of interesting people on campus and all kinds of interesting people here who had gone there and come back, or people who had never been in Princeton and came here.” The glass ceiling has been shattered, as the Arts Council of Princeton offers classes and programs and works not only with the university but many other partners. Laird wants to create more partnerships, particularly by using the arts center’s Solley Theater as a community stage where area groups perform. That will happen as students from a university theater class present project work there, and when Westminster Choir College presents a children’s concert there, partnered with Princeton Young Achievers, on Nov. 20. For Laird, the 50th anniversary is an opportunity to spread the word about the what the arts council does and to create more partnerships. “The goal is also to talk about the future and the future of the arts council and our work,” she says. The hope is that we engage more people, we continue to grow our membership base and get people engaged and involved in our work.” Isabella De La Houssaye, the arts council’s board of trustees president, says the 50th anniversary offers an opportunity to build on its mission. “It’s big and we want to take advantage of it in terms of
profile in the community and having special events, and bringing new people into the fold,” she says. “That’s what we’re all about.” De La Houssaye, who became the board president in July, notes that the arts council isn‘t just for Princeton proper. “We serve West Windsor, Trenton, going into Pennsylvania. We pull from a large geographic area for our classes and programs,” she says. “So a lot of people are connected to us but there’s a lot we can do to grow our presence.” Another hallmark of the celebration is the artwork created by Victoria Wayland, a student who won the arts council’s 50th anniversary poster contest. Wayland’s depiction of the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts will be featured marketing materials throughout the arts council’s 50th year. Among the accomplishments Reeves remembers fondly are the gala, Pinot to Picasso (“We decided the wines and the arts were equally important,” she says), the Sauce for the Goose holiday sale, and a New Year’s party that used to be held each year. During an interview, Reeves shared a collection of buttons designed each year for the New Year’s event by artist Lonnie Sue Johnson. She also looks back on events involving kids, including Arts Exchange in which the arts council teams with HomeFront of Trenton to provide instruction to children ages 5 to 18 whose family live in transient circumstances. Other kidcentric events include the annual Halloween parade and a Valentine-making event. And then there was Underage for which kids wrote poetry. Today, the program is known as aMuse and includes the publication of a book featuring writings and arts of students in grades kindergarten through 12. “At the end of the year we had a big celebration with a cake saying ‘Underage’ and each child reading their poem,” Reeves says. “And then they went outside, we had it a courtyard on campus, and we’re outside at this courtyard with a big cake and all the children starting autographing each other’s books. It was just wonderful.” About 10 years ago, Reeves was in London with other people from the arts council. A woman came up to her and told her she was in Underage as a child, and was now working in publishing — as an editor in London. “So I thought, ‘OK, that was a pretty good idea,’” Reeves says.

FALL THEATER PREVIEW By Anthony Stoeckert
McCarter Gets ‘Simpatico’ A Chicago theater company is bringing Sam Shepard’s drama to Princeton
When the Chicago-based A Red Orchid Theatre company was established in 1993, part of the mission was to present plays by writers who were not getting their due on stages across America. At the time Sam Shepard’s work was being produced fairly often, so Red Orchid didn’t present any of his plays. “We didn’t have any interest in trying to champion someone who was already being championed and we were finding other writers who needed their work produced,” says Guy Van Swearingen, a founding member of the company. Ten years later, things had changed to the point where Shepard’s plays weren’t being performed, and the company staged an acclaimed production of the playwright’s 1994 play, “Simpactico.” “Time went by and he sort of fell out of favor, all of a sudden I’m scratching my head one day thinking, ‘Whatever happened with Sam Shepard, why doesn’t anyone do him anymore? And we came up with the idea of doing this play,” Van Swearingen says. It worked out well enough that A Red Orchid is bringing “Simpatico” to Princeton as the opening play of McCarter Theatre’s 2016-17 season, Sept. 8-Oct. 15. The play by Shepard, who died in July, is about three friends, Vinnie (played by Van Swearingen); Carter (Michael Shannon) and Rosie (Jennifer Engstrom). Years ago, the trio was involved in a horse-racing scam in California. Years later, Carter and Rosie — who Vinnie once loved — are living in Kentucky, married and successful, while Vinnie has stayed in his hometown. Vinnie spends his time posing as a detective. He also lives off money Carter pays Vinnie to keep quiet about Carter’s con-artist past. Twenty years later, Carter is in California aiming to end the ties between them. McCarter’s production will include the entire cast from the Red Orchid production, with the exception of John Judd, who plays Simms. Other actors in the production include Kristen E. Ellis as Kelly; and Mierka Girten as Cecilia. Shannon is a two-time Oscar nominee (for his roles in “Revolutionary Road” and “Nocturnal Animals”) and is known for his part on HBO’s Boardwalk Empire and for playing General Zod in the 2013 Superman movie, “Man of Steel.” Van Swearingen and Shannon are co-founders of Red Orchid and have worked together often. “We have a long history together and it’s always fun with Mike on stage,” Van Swearingen says. “It’s very enjoyable, he’s a very talented actor, as you’re aware, and he’s a very giving acting as well, in terms of sharing the stage. . . . So it’s always a treat to be able to work with Mike in

And there is a lot of history and that’s one of the nice things about doing this play, it’s about guys with a lot of history. I think the experience is a lot more fulfilling for an audience to come see two guys who have known each for a long time doing a play about two guys who have known each for a long time. Because there’s no pretense, we don’t have a lot of pretense between us, we can get right at whatever it is we need to get and we know each other’s boundaries and limitations. “I think it would be harder to do this play if we cast people from different walks of life and they came in the first rehearsal and they have to have this great history about them. It’s a gift that Michael and I have that history and that we’re able to do this story together.” In addition to acting, Van Swearingen is a full-time firefighter in Chicago. After graduating college as a theater major, the opportunity came to join the fire department. He then was offered theater work and decided to start his own theater company so that his scheduled could fit with his fire department work. “I’m a pretty pragmatic kind of guy and I knew that coming out of college with a bachelor’s of arts degree in theater doesn’t necessarily open a lot of doors for steady income,” he says. “A life of an actor is not an easy one. I knew that coming into the game, and the fire department sort of fit my MO in that it wasn’t a job behind a desk somewhere and I could help people at the same time. It fit pretty well for me, and it’s worked out well for me, I’ve been able to manage the two careers.” Van Swearingen describes his character, Vinnie, as “interesting” and says the title “Simpatico” says a lot about the character and his goals. “I think what he’s looking for is [for people] to experience what he’s experienced, ‘to feel what I’m feeling.’ And I think he’s making that demand on his former partner
who’s gone off on to bigger and greener pastures,” Van Swearingen says. “It’s a don’t-forget-where-you-camefrom-type of thing.” While McCarter’s Berlind stage is the smaller of its two theaters, seating 360, it’s larger than Red Orchid’s space, which Van Swearingen says the company is putting a lot of consideration into. “We did it in front of about 75 seats in Chicago and now we’re going to do it in the Berlind Theater there, and there’s a lot more seats,” he says. “Everybody in the project has worked in bigger spaces as well, we all come back to work at Red Orchid in that space because there’s a certain quality to it that we can’t find in other places, and it’s also our home. We have a lot of veteran artists involved who have worked in big houses here in Chicago throughout their career as well as working in our ensemble.” McCarter’s fall season will continue with “A Night With Janis Joplin,” which will feature a live band performing the music legend’s songs, including “Piece of My Heart,” Me and Bobby McGee” and “Cry Baby.” For other theaters, fall is a season of transition. Passage Theatre in Trenton announced that Artistic Director June Ballinger, is stepping down and that C. Ryanne Domingues will step in. Passage’s new season will open with “Paradise” a play about by Laura Maria Censabella about a Muslim-American teenager and a teacher who partner to research adolescent love. It opens Oct. 5. For more information, go to www.passagetheatre.org. George Street Playhouse in New Brunswick is staging its next two seasons in a space at Rutgers University while it’s new theater on Livingston Avenue is being built. George Street will open the season Oct. 10 with a new look at “I Love You, You’re Perfect Now Change,” Joe DiPietro and Jimmy Robert’s musical about marriage. The season will continue with “An Act of God,” a comedy by David Javerbaum, who wrote for ‘The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.” For more information, go to www.georgestreetplayhouse.org.

Morven’s nearly 50 loans hail from public and private collections from across the country and will reflect Dana’s vision by including painting, textiles, ceramics, and sculptures, through Jan. 28, 2018.

Sahaja yoga in Plainsboro Practitioners of Sahaja yoga, a meditation technique that they say alleviates stress and leads to a higher state of awareness, will present a free workshop at the Plainsboro Public Library beginning at 1 p.m. Plainsboro resident Jitender Pal, one of the volunteer workshop leaders, explains that Sahajayoga does not involve stretching or any kind of exercise, as does traditional yoga. Instead, he says, Sahajayoga is “pure meditation,” practiced in silence. Pal stresses that there is no need for participants to bring yoga mats or to wear any kind of special clothing to the session. The library program will consist of an introductory talk, a video presentation on the history and practice of Sahaja yoga, and an actual meditation session, either conducted in silence or accompanied by classical music. The Plainsboro Public Library is located at 9 Van Doren St., Plainsboro. For more information, call 609-275-2897.

Getting savory with apples It’s time to get crazy for apples, some of us even haunting farmers markets for those hard to find varieties. Desserts like apple pie, crisp, crumble and cake are standbys, often with vanilla bean ice cream alongside (although I’m a cheddar cheese fan myself.) But wait — there are many uses for apples in savory recipes, too, so I polled some of our local chefs for their ideas. Several have some kind of apple salad on their menu, others incorporate apples in risottos and other side dishes. Witherspoon Grill chef Christian Graciano does a pork chop with sour apple marmalade. Jim Weaver, chef/owner of Tre Piani has for years offered a delicious risotto with red wine, apples, and fontina cheese. LiLLiPiES Bakery & Cafe makes an unusual Apple Vinaigrette with Stayman Winesap apples from Terhune Orchards, and serves it yearround with their side-salads. The fall menu at Jammin’ Crepes will include an Apple Melt Crepe made with roasted apples, onion jam, cheddar cheese, bacon and fresh arugula; also on offer, a Quinoa, Kale & Apple Salad. Brothers Moon chef/owner Will Mooney adds apple and walnut to his chicken salad, and also makes a savory apple-sage bread pudding. Tony Sauppe, chef at Triumph Princeton, reports that he’s making a Cozy Piggy appetizer, “pigs in a blanket on steroids really,” he says. Andouille sausage is baked in puff pastry and served with pistachio crusted apple fritters and chipotle sweet potato sour cream. Aleppo chili infused burnt honey and mezza cilantro (between micro and baby) finishes the dish. Don’t forget the seven “Apple Days” weekends coming up at Terhune Orchards, running Sept. 16 through Oct. 29. Details for those, and their recipes for Cider Baked Chicken & Sausage and Chicken-Apple Curry are on the Terhune website at terhuneorchards.com, along with a helpful apple guide. The recipes below are from my cookbooks, but recipes for some of the restaurant dishes mentioned above will be posted on my blog, www.njspice.net. Chicken with apples and apricots Adapted from “Sephardic Flavors, Jewish Cooking of the Mediterranean,” Joyce Goldstein, Chronicle (2000). Serves 4-6. Note: Rice pilaf with pistachio nuts and sprinkled with pomegranate seeds would be lovely with this. Classic green beans and almonds would go well, too. — F.B. 1 cut-up roasting chicken 4-5 pounds 3 cups dry white wine, or as needed 1 tablespoon honey 1 teaspoon ground ginger 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon ground mace 1/2 pound dried apricots 3 pounds tart green apples such as granny smith or pippin, peeled, cored,
2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 cup apple cider or juice ¼ cup apple cider vinegar ½ cup chicken broth ½ cup crème fraîche or sour cream Quarter apples, remove cores, but leave skin on. Place in slow cooker. Trim ends of shallots and peel them. Separate any sections and add to slow cooker. In a large skillet, melt butter and oil over medium heat. Brown pork in batches, about 20 minutes total. Add to slow-cooker and salt and pepper to taste. Pour off fat in skillet. Add cider and vinegar and bring to simmer while stirring. Add broth, scraping bottom. Pour liquid over pork, cover and cook on low for 8 hours, until pork is very tender. Just before serving, remove pork, apples, and shallots with a slotted spoon and place in large bowl. Cover to keep warm. Skim fat from juices in slow cooker, stir in crème fraîche. Check for seasoning and pour sauce over pork. Curried winter squash galette Adapted from “Dinner Pies,” Ken Haedrich, Harvard Common (2015). Serves 8 to 10. The book includes a Yeasted Butter Pastry but you could substitute your own buttery pie crust. — F.B.
Terhune Orchards has all sorts of apple varieties that can be included in savory dishes. and quartered 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 cinnamon stick 1 tablespoon sugar ¼ cup olive oil 3 onions, chopped Salt ¼ cup sesame seeds, toasted Rinse chicken pieces and place in shallow bowl. In a small bowl, stir together about 1½ cups wine, honey, ginger, ground cinnamon, pepper, and mace. Rub mixture over chicken pieces, cover and refrigerate a few hours to overnight. Put apricots in another bowl and add enough of remaining wine to cover. In a saucepan, combine apples, lemon juice, cinnamon stick, sugar, and water to cover. Bring to simmer over medium heat and boil 8 minutes. Drain apples, reserving liquid. Discard cinnamon stick. Warm oil in large pot over
medium heat. Add onions, season with salt, and sauté until golden, about 15 minutes. Add chicken pieces and their marinade, soaked apricots and liquid, and apple poaching liquid. Bring to boil over high heat, reduce to low, cover and simmer until chicken is almost cooked, 25 to 30 minutes. Check level of liquid and add water if necessary to keep apricots from scorching. Add reserved apples and simmer 5 to 10 minutes more. Transfer to a deep platter, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve. Normandy pork Adapted from “The French Slow Cooker,” Michele Scicolone, Houghton, Mifflin, Harcourt (2012). Serves 8. 4 large, firm cooking apples, like Fuji or golden delicious 12 ounces shallots (about 6 large)
Chilled pastry crust (same amount as for a 2-crust pie) 3 tablespoons butter 3 halved and thinly sliced sweet onions 2 cups peeled, diced (1”) winter squash 2 teaspoons curry powder 1 cup peeled, diced (1/2”) Granny Smith or other tart apple 2 tablespoons light brown sugar 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 4 -5 ounces Brie cheese, cut into chunks Melt butter in stovetop casserole, add onions, salt, pepper. Cover and cook 10 minutes over medium-low heat. Remove lid, raise heat to medium, cook 5 more minutes. Add squash and curry powder, cook 5 minutes, then add apples and 2-3 tablespoons water. Cover and cook 5 minutes, uncover and cook off most of the liquid. Add sugar and vinegar, cooking an additional minute, and remove to platter to cool. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and get out a large, rimless baking sheet. Roll out chilled dough into a 14-inchby-12-inch oblong on a sheet of parchment paper sized to fit in pan. Pull parchment and dough onto baking sheet. Spread cooled filling on dough to within 1 ½ inches of the edge. Fold dough up and over the border of filling. Bake on middle rack 35 minutes (dough should brown), then add Brie and bake 5 more minutes. Cool baking sheet on rack for 5 minutes before sliding the galette off the paper to cool directly on rack 5 more minutes. Faith Bahadurian blogs at njspice.net (also Twitter @njspice).

Your Home from savings to luxury
What to do when a project stalls
Upon embarking on a home improvement project, homeowners who have never before lived through such undertakings are often told to expect their projects to take more time than initial estimates suggested. Unforeseen complications can compromise project timelines, and some homeowners may find their projects stuck in neutral. Stalled projects can make life at home difficult, and homeowners may feel helpless with regard to getting a project back on course. But there are ways for homeowners to get stalled projects back on course.
Start off on solid financial footing. It’s important that homeowners who want to upgrade their homes enter the home improvement process with a realistic grasp of their finances. Many home improvement projects stall when homeowners run out of money. Homeowners can avoid such unfortunate situations by beginning a project they know they can afford. Whether funding a project with a loan or savings or a combination of both, homeowners should make an honest assessment of what they can afford to
commit to a given project. If the amount of money available does not add up to the estimated cost of the project, delay the project now or you might be facing a stalled project down the road. Honestly assess whether or not you can finish the job. Do-ityourselfers may have the abilities to complete a project, but they should not let their pride get in the way of their ultimate goal, which is the completion of the project. In addition to money, time or lack thereof, is often the culprit behind stalled projects. Homeowners with full-time jobs, families or both may not be able to find the time to complete a job in a timely fashion. If the project has been stuck in neutral and no sudden windfall of free time is on the horizon, start contacting contractors to finish the job for you.
a stalled project back on track. Certain home improvement projects may not require advanced skills, and even friends or family with little or no home improvement experience can pitch in to complete such projects. When more advanced projects stall, homeowners may want to hire contractors to complete the work. If budgets have not left much room for hiring a contractor, homeowners can perform some of the labor on their own.
Be mindful of permits. Some home improvement projects require permits, and these permits often have expiration dates. Homeowners must keep permits in mind when projects start to stall, recognizing that they may need to reapply for permits if projects go unfinished for especially long periods of time. Stalled home improvement projects can be a nightmare. But homeowners can address such delays in various Ask for help. There’s no shame in ways to get projects back on track. — asking for help to complete a project. Metro Creative Connection Some homeowners may underestimate the scope of a project until it’s too late. Taking the right steps before Asking family, friends or neighbors starting a project can help ensure for help might be the only way to get it doesn’t get stalled.
Improve privacy and security at home
Living in close proximity to one’s neighbors has its benefits. But many homeowners would no doubt admit that privacy at home is a good thing. Whether homeowners are enjoying their yard in spring or summer or simply want their in-home activities to be less obvious to neighbors, their privacy is a year-round concern. If privacy is a concern, homeowners can take certain steps to ensure their homes stay or become the sanctuaries they were designed to be.
Window treatments and frosting Windows allow natural light to enter a home, but windows also enable neighbors and others to see into a home. If thieves are the ones looking inside, wide open windows present a security issue. Window treatments are an effective way to add privacy to a
home. Closing curtains or blinds limits others’ ability to see inside the house. Switch to more opaque window treatments when using interior lighting more often, as gossamer draperies may still make it possible for outsiders to understand what’s going on inside the home if people and items are backlit. For those who do not want to compromise natural light, frosted windows can satisfy a desire for privacy. Windows can be purchased with frosting in place, and home improvement retailers sell various products that can create a frosted look. Fencing and perimeter plantings Privet hedge, arborvitae or Italian cypress are fast-growing evergreens that provide privacy around a home
for homeowners who do not want to install traditional fencing. These trees also provide a natural habitat for various yard animals. Layering various plants of different heights and textures also can create a more natural and less imposing look. Fencing remains a viable option to create privacy and stop noise pollution. Privacy fences come in various materials, colors and sizes, enabling homeowners to choose styles that fit their landscapes.
Fencing and well-placed plantings can improve privacy for homeowners who desire it.
Pergolas and enclosed patios Homeowners who like to entertain outdoors may want to make their outdoor living spaces more private. Pergolas allow light to filter through but obstruct direct view of patio activity, especially when combined with some gauzy draperies hanging on the sides.
An enclosed patio or three-season room can be a worthwhile addition for homeowners who like to enjoy the great outdoors without being in the elements or on display for neighbors. Structures vary from screened-in porches to greenhouses to removable gazebos. Potted plants or trailing vines can soften the structural edges and help the privacy devices blend in with the natural surroundings.
Personal tactics Homeowners who do not want their neighbors or others knowing what they’re up to in their free time can limit what they share through photos and descriptions on social media. Doing so also cuts down on neighbors’ curiosity. — Metro Creative Connection
Fall lawn tips to keep grass healthy
Spring and summer may be the seasons most often associated with landscaping and lawn care, but tending to lawns and gardens is a yearround job. If lawn and garden responsibilities dip considerably in winter, then fall is the last significant chance before the new year that homeowners will have to address the landscaping around their homes. Fall lawn care differs from spring and summer lawn care, even if the warm temperatures of summer linger into autumn. Homeowners who want their lawns to thrive year-round can take advantage of the welcoming weather of fall to address any existing or po-
tential issues. Keep mowing, but adjust how you mow. It’s important that homeowners continue to mow their lawns so long as grass is growing. But as fall transitions into winter, lower the blades so the grass is cut shorter while remaining mindful that no blade of grass should ever be trimmed by more than one-third. Lowering the blades will allow more sunlight to reach the grass in the months ahead. Remove leaves as they fall. Much like apple-picking and foliage, raking leaves is synonymous with fall. Some
homeowners may wait to pick up a rake until all of the trees on their properties are bare. However, allowing fallen leaves to sit on the ground for extended periods of time can have an adverse effect on grass. Leaves left to sit on the lawn may ultimately suffocate the grass by forming an impenetrable wall that deprives the lawn of sunlight and oxygen. The result is dead grass and possibly even fungal disease. Leaves may not need to be raked every day, but homeowners should periodically rake and remove leaves from their grass, even if there are plenty left to fall still hanging on the trees.
Repair bald spots. Summer exacts a toll on lawns in various ways, and even homeowners with green thumbs may end up with a lawn filled with bald spots come September. Autumn is a great time to repair these bald spots. Lawn repair mixes contain mulch, seed and fertilizer to repair bald spots, which can begin to recover in as little as seven days. Before applying such products, remove dead grass and loosen the top few inches of soil. Follow any additional manufacturer instructions as well. Aerate the turf. Aerating reduces soil compacting, facilitating the deliv-
ery of fertilizer and water to a lawn’s roots. While many homeowners, and particularly those who take pride in tending to their own lawns, can successfully aerate their own turf, it’s best to first have soil tested so you know which amendments to add after the ground has been aerated. Gardening centers and home improvement stores sell soil testing kits that measure the pH of soil, but homeowners who want to test for nutrients or heavy metals in their soil may need to send their samples to a lab for further testing. Fall lawn care provides a great reason to spend some time in the yard before the arrival of winter.

Ain’t no party like a Pine Street block party This year’s neighborhood bash will honor Gundel Bradford, who helped found the street’s annual celebration
Pineys refuse to pine away. They prefer to eat, drink, and dance the night away, sometimes until 2 a.m. And that is what the residents of Pine Street — self-labeled Pineys — will be doing Sept. 9. They will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Pine Street block party and the life of its artistic director, Gundel Bradford, who died earlier this year at the age of 81, in her home on Pine Street. Gundel was a founding force behind the elegant Pine Street neighborhood park party, a distant relative of the familiar block party that is generally characterized by plastic-and-paper disposables and edibles such as hot dogs, hoagies and chips. Along with live, bluegrass music from local musicians, the Pine Street party since its inception has featured Gundel Bradford’s hand-made accouterments. Gundel’s specially crafted party items, which will play a starring role in this year’s party in spite of the absence of their owner, include: red-and-white-checkered table cloths, candle lanterns, fresh-flower holders made from a Gundel collection of French mustard jars, silver serving pieces and ice bucket, and decorative lights strung in the trees of the Pine Street Park, whose formal name is the David Bradford Park. The Pine Street pocket park in 2005 was named in memory of Princeton University economist David Bradford, Gundel’s partner in life as well as creative partner in the Pine Street neighborhood party. He died 22 years ago when he sustained third-degree burns from a fire in his home. Each of the approximately 50 neighbors brings a dish, but “Gundel’s food offering, of course, was spectacular,” said Deborah Kaple, a Pine Street resident and one of the organizers of this year’s event. “Every year she would contribute a giant plum torte with home-made whipped cream.” In addition, true to her German heritage, Gundel would don a
Deborah Kaple is one of the organizers of Pine Street’s annual block party. traditional German folk dress for the occasion. Kaple said Gundel the dress herself. “[It] featured a beautiful organza white apron,” Kaple said. “She wore that dress for four decades, her size never changing. She brought magical touches to the neighborhood celebration.” The Bradfords were passionate Pineys, but failed to capture the record for the most years as Pine Street residents. Tina LaFauci, in her late 80s, was born and raised and continues to live on Pine Street, with other longtime residents being Betty Cohen, Peter and Barbara Westergaard, and Mitsuru Yasuhara. “The party celebrates longtime residents and new arrivals, as well as Pine Street’s special character,” said Kaple, who moved with her family to Pine Street 15 years ago. I never have lived on the street but have walked it numerous times, and was honored to have been invited years ago to the party re-dedicating a spruced up David Bradford Park. Gundel, academically trained in economics like her husband, also pursued her
passion for landscape artistry. In 1991 she studied landscape design at George Washington University. Thus, she took it upon herself to oversee the renovation of the park named in honor of her husband — and did so with her unrelenting focus on landscape elegance and excellence. I would describe Pine Street, as one of the most funky and intimate streets in what was formerly the Borough of Princeton. The narrow, one-block, one-way street has a Harry Potter feel (as did the Dinky train station prior to renovation). Pine Street features small homes in a mishmash of architectural styles (modern, federal, Greek revival, stick-style). The structures are set on lots very close to one another and with minimal setback from the street. Several “secret” homes sit behind the others and are invisible to those driving down the street. Working with Kaple on the implementation of the party are Pine Street residents Andrea Stock and Wendy Bond, who started the party preparations about five weeks ago. They hand-delivered save-the-date notifications and the invitations themselves, rather than using emails or texts. In their opinion, the in-person, old-fashioned delivery fits the personal and close ambiance of the neighborhood. They invite their neighbors on Spruce and Maple streets, “just to be neighborly because we do make a lot of noise and the street is closed, thus causing a vehicular inconvenience,” Kaple said. Another neighbor who may be inconvenienced by the party and street closing is Jack Morrison who owns the seafood market (Nassau Street Seafood) and restaurant (Blue Point Grill), located at Nassau and Pine streets. “Jack is a great neighbor, who instead of getting annoyed, he contributes a wonderful seafood dish that serves many people,” Kaple said. The organizing committee intends to lay out the food as Gundel had done in the past — with the main courses being arranged on the table to the back of the park and the dessert table along the left side of the park. “We are carrying on Gundel’s and David’s Pine Street Party traditions, but the party will never be quite the same without the Bradford creative energy,” said Kaple, who has no doubt that their spirits will be lurking in the park’s foliage to make sure that everyone is celebrating — not pining for — years gone by.

HEALTH MATTERS
Dr. Christopher A. Naraine
What you need to know about giving birth by C-section
If you are pregnant or even just thinking about having a baby, chances are you already have an idea of how you want to deliver. While the majority of babies are born vaginally, more than one third are delivered surgically by cesarean section, according to the National Institutes of Health. There are many reasons a C-section may be necessary, and it is important for expectant parents to understand why and how the procedure is performed so they are prepared before their baby is due. The following are answers to some of the most common questions people have about C-sections: What is a C-section? A cesarean delivery or Csection is a surgical procedure in which a baby is
delivered through an incision in the mother’s abdomen and uterus instead of vaginally through the birth canal. The procedure is performed using either general anesthesia (most often in an emergency situation) or regional anesthesia such as a spinal block, an injection in the spinal column that blocks pain by numbing the spinal nerves. When is a C-section necessary? In most cases, a C-section is performed in order to protect the health of the mother and baby. Specifically, a Csection may be necessary when: * Labor is failing to progress because the cervix is not dilating and opening enough or contractions are no longer working to move the baby along.
* An abnormal heart rate is detected by fetal heart monitoring, which allows doctors to track how the baby’s heart is responding to contractions. * Heavy bleeding caused by problems with the placenta or placenta previa, a condition in which the placenta blocks the cervix. * The baby is in a breech position, meaning it is upside down, and the feet rather than the head would be delivered first. * The baby is too large. According to the NIH, women with gestational diabetes, especially if their blood sugar is not controlled, are at increased risk for larger babies that require a Csection delivery. * The mother has an infection such as HIV or herpes. A C-section can reduce

the risk of transmitting infection to the baby. * Multiple births. Twins may require a C-section if the first or both are breech. In cases where the first is head down and the second is breech, a C-section may be recommended. Higher multiple births require a C-section. Can I be awake when the baby is delivered? What about breastfeeding? If general anesthesia is used, you will not be awake for the delivery. If regional anesthesia is used, you will be awake, your partner will be able to be present and you will be able to see your baby immediately after delivery. In both instances, you will normally be able to breastfeed shortly after the surgery, if not immediately. Is a C-section safe for me and my baby?
As the NIH notes, a Csection is relatively safe for mother and baby. Still, it is a major surgery and carries risks. Complications are rare, but can include infection, blood loss, blood clots, and injury to the bowel or bladder. They are often easily treated. Infants delivered by C-section may experience breathing problems because of respiratory secretions that are normally cleared by chest compressions that occur naturally during a vaginal birth. These breathing problems are also easily treated. If I had a C-section, can I deliver vaginally next time? Having a C-section does not automatically rule out a subsequent vaginal birth. Several factors need to be considered to determine whether a vaginal birth after
a C-section is a safe and healthy approach. Some types of uterine incisions such as a classical vertical incision or a T incision pose a greater risk for uterine rupture than others. Side-to-side incisions carry the least chance of rupture.
