School referendum delay being considered By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

The school district raised the prospect this week of pushing back a facilities bond referendum to next September, as officials ponder their options to accommodate more students in the near and short term. Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane, in a statement Wednesday, touched on some of the considerations officials have in mind, both now and in the long run, given how enroll-

ment and the town’s population are projected to grow in the next two decades. “Our immediate need is to move forward with a plan to expand Princeton High School, which is already over capacity, and to find a space in our town to accommodate a 5-6 middle school that would also allow for additional athletic fields,” he said. “Down the road, we will likely need another elementary school, so we want to be mindful of that as we consider our options. The Valley Road building, which as

many know was formerly a school, is one option that we are considering carefully. We are also coordinating closely with the town to explore alternatives that would allow for long-term growth.” A new school for fifth and sixth graders would free up space at the elementary schools, where fifth graders attend, and John Witherspoon Middle School, where sixth graders attend. Cochrane also has talked of having an addition to the high school. The district, based on report by its demographer, is forecast to top

3,920 students in 2023, up from the 3,339 it had in 2011. In part, the district is looking at its plan B options for space needs. Officials had eyed acquiring Rider University’s Westminster Choir College. But Rider announced last month that it was pursuing talks with another suitor to take over the music school and keep it in Princeton. “While the Westminster Choir College campus was our first option to expand our facilities to meet the needs of our growing enrollment,” Cochrane said, “we

have always been developing alternate plans.” The district, in terms of its internal timing, had indicated that it would look to go before voters with a bond referendum in March. That appears to be in doubt, with officials, for the first time publicly, talking of delaying the ballot question. “It’s not finally decided yet,” school board President Patrick Sullivan said Wednesday, “but it’s probably more realistic to push the referendum back a bit so that we See DELAY, Page 7

The artist who designed the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. has been tabbed by Princeton University for a public artwork outside the university’s new Lewis Center for the Arts, the school’s art museum said Tuesday. Maya Lin, the artist, could not be reached for comment, with sparse details released this week about the project. The university said more information would be provided later this month. The timing of the announcement came the same week as when Lin has an exhibition of her work opening Thursday at the Pace Gallery, in New York City. Lin, 57, was an undergraduate student at Yale University when she won the competition to design the war memorial. The Lewis Center is the heart of the arts and transit project that the university had embarked upon with financial backing from alumnus Peter B. Lewis, who gave $101 million toward it. Overall, the proj-

Mayor Lempert blasts Trump administration’s decision to end immigrant program By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Mayor Liz Lempert on Tuesday criticized the Trump administration for ending a five-year-old federal program that has shielded from deportation some 800,000 illegal immigrants brought to the country as children. The government, over the next six months, intends to phase out the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, created in 2012. The move gives Congress time to act to pass legislation impacting their immigration status. Princeton is home to illegal immi-

grants, mostly from Central America. Mayor Lempert said ending DACA, as the program is known, “is a cruel decision that will tear apart families, undermine our economy and betrays our values.” “DACA recipients are in school and college, holding jobs, paying taxes and contributing to our local and national economies,” she said in a statement issued in English and in Spanish. She was not available for comment, citing a busy schedule. Princeton is among the socalled sanctuary city towns in New Jersey that do not comply with federal immigration detainers, al-

though the municipality does not use the sanctuary city label for itself. The town has found itself squarely at odds with the Trump administration on immigration and a range of other issues. On Tuesday morning, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that the government would be ending DACA. Sessions has maintained that the program was an unconstitutional end-run around immigration laws by the Obama administration, led to a surge of minors crossing the southern border alone and took jobs away from American citizens.

“We are people of compassion and we are people of law,” he said. “But there is nothing compassionate about the failure to enforce immigration laws. Enforcing the law saves lives, protects communities and taxpayers and prevents human suffering.” Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber, who had appealed last week to President Donald Trump not to end DACA, on Tuesday wrote to Congressional leaders urging them to act to protect “these young people.” “I strongly believe that such action would be in the national interest, in addition to being very

much the right thing to do,” he wrote to bipartisan leaders in both houses of Congress. “I hope Congress will take this action and will take it quickly.” For her part, Mayor Lempert echoed that sentiment. “We urge Congress to act quickly to create an immigration system that is fair, just and moral,” she said. “In our community, we will work with our local residents to understand the impact of this decision and continue to support them.” Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

Another voice added to honoring former principal

Riverside Elementary School should be renamed to honor its late Principal William Cirullo, a brother of the erstwhile administrator said this week. Charlie Cirullo on Tuesday added his voice to a movement seeking to have the school district recognize the longtime employee and Princeton native, who died last year. A group of Riverside teachers and others has lobbied school officials to change the school name to “The William D. Cirullo Riverside School.” For his part, Charlie Cirullo said in a phone interview that formulation works for him. “That would be fine, as long as Billy’s name is on there,” he said. He recalled how his brother had served his hometown community in and out of the classroom, as a teacher, administrator and lacrosse and football coach, and stayed in touch with his former players. William Cirullo started working for the district in 1970 and climbed the ladder to become Riverside principal in 1986. He died Feb.15, 2016, at 67. “Up until his passing, each year he would have a reunion with his lacrosse players,” Charlie Cirullo said. “And they would come from different parts of the country. That’s how much respect they had for him. He

was a good guy.” After his death, the “Bill Committee,” made up of teachers and others, was formed, and approached the district about renaming the school — a suggestion that officials are looking at from a broader policy perspective. “We’re in the process of making sure that we do this in the right way and that we lay out criteria for the naming of a school building and a process for doing it that’s separate from our commitment to Bill and our valuing of his work,” Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane said Wednesday. School board vice president Dafna Kendal said Wednesday that the district would get input from the community, a step that is required by district policy, on what the criteria should be for naming a school after someone. But bestowing

such an honor can be tricky. John Witherspoon Middle School is named after a signer of the Declaration of Independence and past president of Princeton University. But privately, a source close to the district said there have been a handful of people in the community, in the wake of the incident last month in Charlottesville, Virginia, urging the district to drop his name given that Witherspoon was a slaveholder. Aside from any possible school name change, the district will look to recognize Cirullo in other ways, like creating a common area in front of Riverside to “honor the vibrancy and the values that Bill brought to learning,” Cochrane said. “We absolutely value Bill’s legacy,” Cochrane said, “and want to honor that and have plans in place already to do that.”

Co-op integrates nature, community farming

In our time and world, when many of us spend the day indoors in front of a computer and seldom come in contact with nature, a relatively new trend, an alternative lifestyle is also taking root in several PrincetonMontgomery farms. While there are a number of Farm-toTable enterprises in the area now, this column will take a look at one of them, perhaps the most diverse in its activities. The Cherry Valley Cooperative Farm is approximately a year old. Its creators were fortunate to find a potential owner who was interested in supporting their plan to create a community-based food hub supplying both local restaurants and residents with fresh, local food - but also offering other services and activities. That potential owner then won the farm’s auction in July 2016, and the deed was signed in September, transferring ownership of the 97 acres that formerly belonged to the Raymond family, to the new owner, who is essentially an investor. Three easements on the property help make the enterprise viable and accessible. The owners of these easements are Montgomery Township, Montgomery Friends of Open Space, and the NJ Conservation Foundation. Their participation allows 55 acres to be preserved as farmland, 35 acres to be conserved forest, and another parcel to used as a public access trail through the property’s woods. Because the new owner recognizes that it takes time to get a business up and running, he is giving the cooperative time to do that before it starts paying off loans and costs. An interesting, and perhaps unique, mix of approaches and partnerships also helped get the farm going. First they engaged with the county in Site Specific Agricultural Marketing Plan that permitted variances to conduct such community programming as harvest festivals, yoga, meditation, music jams, and potluck dinners - in short, promoting agritourism. A second novel approach, conceived by the farm’s lead creator Alec Gioseffi, was to instead of approaching the seven township departments separately, invite them all to visit and tour the farm together. This accelerated the permitting process considerably. Although many individuals have participated and contributed to the cooperative, Gioseffi and his wife, Lauren, were the two who brought together the threads of the overall approach and saw its realization through. Alec grew up in Plainsboro, went to high school there and then to Rutgers, where he studied visual arts, photography and agriculture/ecology. Looking back at his large, close family, he sees that it may have introduced him to a more communal approach to

Lauren Nagy and Alec Gioseffi living and probably stimulated his interest in food. While going to school he worked at Princeton’s former Wild Oats, as well as at various local restaurants and doing catering at Rutgers, often moving up to chef. Following college, he was able to visit Europe, sample its cuisines, and to work on a Kibbutz in Israel and on a Shtetl in Ukraine, where he saw that the agrarian lifestyle was possible. Part of what he took from those experiences was a recognition of the benefits of closer relations and communication between food producers and their customers. After that, working in Eno Terra’s kitchen, he learned of its nearby farm providing the restaurant’s fresh produce. He moved over to work at that farm, and in 2013 became a co-manager. Needing more acreage, the operation moved to a 10-acre farm in Franklin Township. But again, as both the farming and its associated activities expanded, Alec and his partners saw the need for still more acreage - which led in time to the Cherry Valley Cooperative Farm purchase. Normally, winter is down time for farm-

ers, but the new cooperative participants found they had much to do, not only renovating and adapting the existing buildings, but building new ones and communicating with Montgomery Townships jurisdictional offices. Once that was accomplished, Alec, Lauren, and other participants could begin putting in place the agriculture and other activities they envisioned. They saw that they would need a number of partners utilizing the acreage and buildings in order to make the coop financially viable. They also envisioned that several existing organizations and frameworks could help them design and organize their coop. These included Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) which allows the community to get involved by taking on shared risk and giving the farm a working budget for a season. Additionally, the farm’s participants, who act as independent producers/facilitators, each take on a niche in the farm’s business as both producers and distributors. A second guiding principle the coop adopted is Permaculture, which is a design process that adapts one’s agricultural pro-

duction to the natural environmental systems in which one is located. Education is yet another guiding principle and goal. Practical courses are offered at the co-op, including: chainsaw maintenance, foraging, outdoor movement, fermentation and preservation workshops, greenhouse propagation, and simply the opportunity to learn about local agriculture. Also the co-op has partnered with NOFA-NJ to provide farming and garden education programming. And it collaborates with the Princeton Montessori School for education programming in Middle School science classes. On the farm itself, Alec, Lauren, and their partners saw that it would make sense if each focused on individual areas. Thus Lauren and Alec concentrate on vegetables; another partner, Chris, focuses on Forest mushrooms propagation; Lauren and Samuel do yoga and meditation. Local artist, Peter Abrams, tends to the sheep, pigs, and 600 chickens. Aside from dividing up the areas of work, this also spreads the risk, as participants become partners, sharing in costs, risks, and profits. The co-op supplies fresh food to the Terra Momo Restaurant Group, to the Brick Farm Market and Tavern, and to the Whole Earth Center. Approximately 150 local families buy portions of the farm’s produce, and 7,000 people are on the co-op’s mailing list, keeping them abreast of food offerings and activities. To further connect the communities and nature, and to generate income, the co-op offers nature classes for children and farming experience for young adults. Currently it is building housing, in the form of YURTS, for those working on the farm. (After obtaining permits for the farm workers and managers to live on site. ) In short, the over-arching idea is to integrate nature and community farming into an ecological-sensitive entity. The co-op members see this as a means to help bring people back in touch with the nature around them and with the food they eat, in its most healthy forms. In the course of doing this, an associated idea is make more food local and not largely dependent on energy-intensive shipping. Additionally, by saving more acreage for farming, and nature, our environments will be better able to absorb and sequester the carbon in our atmosphere. Thus the Cherry Valley Cooperative Farm is an ambitious, multi-faced enterprise that is addressing a range of challenges that our local communities and region face. For its concepts and efforts, it has won local support and interest, as people see that it is to the benefit of all that we preserve and improve the interface between man and nature.

Preserving half the planet for nature may prevent extinction By Michele S. Byers

STATE WE’RE IN

The Earth is about 3.8 billion years old, and has experienced five great extinctions of plants and animals. The last took place about 65 million years ago, when a giant asteroid slammed into Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula. In the words of biologist and author Edward O. Wilson, the asteroid impact “rang the planet like a bell,” causing volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, acid rain and a tsunami that raced across the globe. Soot in the atmosphere blocked sunlight and brought on a prolonged cold. Seventy percent of the Earth’s species disappeared for-

ever, including the last of the dinosaurs. Wilson is among many scientists who believe that Earth is now undergoing a sixth great extinction, with countless species declining or already gone. But this time humans are to blame. In his newest book “Half Earth: Our Planet’s Fight for Life,” the Pulitzer Prize winner and former Harvard University professor argues the only way to stop a sixth great extinction - and save humanity at the same time - is by preserving half of the planet for nature. This includes both oceans and lands. “Humanity’s grasp on the planet is not strong. It is growing weaker,” writes Wilson. “Our population is too large for safety and comfort. Fresh water is growing short, the atmosphere and the seas are increasingly polluted as a result of what has transpired on land. The climate is changing in ways unfavorable to life, except for microbes, jellyfish and fungi.” Wilson builds a case that man’s relentless consumption of land and resources is destroying habitats and depleting the Earth’s biodiversity. There are more than 2 million known plant and animal species on Earth, and more than 6 million others thought to exist but not yet identified. It’s projected that if we remain on the same course, 70 percent of Earth’s animals and plants will disappear in about 300 years. Because the web of life is interconnected, the loss of so many of these species could lead to the collapse of all but a few.

tion, restoration and declaring large areas of ocean off-limits to fishing, Wilson said, it’s possible for Earth’s diversity of species to recover. Here in New Jersey, we’re working on doing our part! About a third of New Jersey’s land is preserved, another third is developed and the remaining third is up for grabs. Our state has a permanent - though limited - source of land preservation funding, and many preserved lands provide habitat for rare plants and animals. Individuals can help too. We can elect officials this November who care about climate change, energy efficiency and saving biodiversity. We can contact our Congressional representatives and ask them to support increased funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund. We can donate to conservation groups that protect land and biodiversity. And we can fill our yards with native plants that help native insects, birds and wildlife. Let’s hope that bold actions like preserving half of the Earth’s biodiversity take hold and inspire all of us to take action. To learn more about Half Earth, go to Wilson’s website at https://eowilsonfoundation.org /half-earth-our-planet-s-fight -forlife/. And for more information about preserving New Jersey’s land and natural resources, visit the New Jersey Conservation Foundation website at www.njconservation.org or contact me at info@njconservation.org.

Wilson applauds the global conservation movement but believes conservation efforts must be raised to a new level: “The only solution to a ‘Sixth Extinction’ is to increase the area of inviolable natural reserves to half the surface of the Earth or greater.” Is this feasible? Does humanity have the will, discipline and ability to set aside that much land and ocean in undisturbed reserves? Wilson sees great hope in humanity’s ability to shrink our “ecological footprint” through advances in technology. Trends like teleconferencing rather than commuting, growing food in indoor vertical gardens under LED lights, online medical consultations, e-books replacing paper publications, online shopping and trade, and armchair travel through remote webcams all slow humanity’s spread and allow more room on Earth for nature. He also believes that the world’s population will level off at 9.6 to 12.3 billion by the end of the century, and then drop as families increasingly choose to have fewer children. It’s not enough to preserve land for human purposes like recreation and agriculture. Conservation efforts must include biodiversity as a goal. It’s critical to preserve wildlands and marine environments for the express purpose of protecting the diversity of life. Wilson also advocates restoration of damaged lands back into Michele S.

have a unified plan.” “As we work to finalize a plan, “ Cochrane said, “we are considering a referendum either in March of 2018 or in September of 2018.” Yet as they plan, officials are cognizant of the impact their decisions will have for students — and the taxpayers who will have to foot the bill. In a community where school taxes account for half the property tax bill, officials would look to increase the size of the district, in terms of staff and additional school buildings, that would have both short and long-term costs associated with them. “Any decision that we make will affect the community and our schools for many years to come,” Cochrane

said. “We want to make sure that decision is the right decision for the school district and for the town.” “So whatever we do, we want to do in the best interests of students and the taxpayer, and that’s because it’s going to be an additional expense,” school board Vice President Dafna Kendal said Wednesday. “And we’re very mindful of that.” Sullivan said officials want to schedule a meeting with municipal representatives “so that we can have a unified plan for how we deal with our respective development needs.” For her part, Mayor Liz Lempert said Wednesday that the town is “committed to working in a unified way with the district to

ensure they have adequate space for any facilities they might need to build.” She said the district is weighing its options, and “might be able to build what they need to build on the lands that they currently own.” “But if some reason that’s not the case,” she said, “then the town planning staff can sit down with them and think about what other options might be available.” Mayor Lempert, last month, signaled her willingness to consider swapping properties with the school district, the current Monument Hall municipal building for the Valley Road building. Mayor Lempert favors having municipal departments in the same geographic area.

Impact of Hurricane Irma uncertain here By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Hurricane Irma is bearing down on Florida, but it is too early to say how the storm might impact New Jersey, the National Weather Service said Thursday. Irma, now following a westward path, is expected to turn north and west late into the weekend and early next week, said Lance Franck, meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Mount Holly station.

“And so at that point, we’ll have a better idea where the storm’s going to go from there,” he said Thursday. “Until it makes that re-curvature, … it’s just early to say exactly where it’s going to go.” In the short term, Irma is expected to bring higher waves and rip currents at the Jersey Shore, starting this week, he said. At the moment, there is a moderate risk for rip currents. “But what we can’t determine at this point is any

further impacts in terms of wind and rain,” he said. Robert Gregory, Princeton’s director of emergency management, said Thursday that he is planning on the town “possibly” getting a lot of rain next week. He expressed concern, too, about Hurricane Jose, a storm following Irma. “If Irma tracks up the coast, it could actually keep Jose off the coast. But if it goes inland, it could pull Jose into the East Coast,” Gregory said.

In the meantime, parts of Florida, Miami Dade and Monroe counties, are under mandatory evacuation orders, while the NFL’s Miami Dolphins home game scheduled for Sunday has been postponed until Nov.19. Gov. Chris Christie, on Wednesday, announced that more than 100 members of the New Jersey National Guard would be deployed to Florida to help with “this emergency response and rescue mission.”

Study: Arts, culture industry has significant economic impact

DENTAL CARE CUTS PNEUMONIA RISK There has been a lot of accumulating evidence that good oral care helps preserve health in other parts of the body. For instance, there is research showing a link between dental care and critically ill patients. Most recently, this link has been expanded to include the general population, as data from a national survey suggests that people who never undergo regular dental checkups have nearly twice the risk of getting bacterial pneumonia as those who visit their dentists twice a year. The fact is that there is a direct connection between the mouth and lungs through which bacteria can be breathed in. This study confirms the need to include dental checkups as part of a comprehensive approach to wellness. Poor dental care is also a possible factor in other conditions, such as immune

system disorders, weak bones, and problems with pregnancy and low birth weight. Encourage your family to practice good oral hygiene by brushing after every meal, flossing daily and using a mouth rinse to kill bacteria. And, of course, see your dentist! To schedule an appointment, please call 609-924-8300. We are conveniently located at Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman. Our commitment is to relationships of partnership, respect, and appreciation. We offer cosmetic and family dentistry, as well as Zoom® and Invisalign®. Please e-mail your questions or comments to: drjamescally@yahoo.com

P.S. “Aspiration pneumonia” is the term used to describe a lung infection that occurs after food, liquid, or vomit is inhaled into the lungs.

Mercer County recently partnered with Americans for the Arts, a national nonprofit organization for advancing the arts and arts education, to conduct a survey of its nonprofit arts and culture industry. The Mercer County economic impact study was part of a larger United States study by Americans for the Arts that provided detailed findings on 341 study regions and represented all 50 states. Results show that Mercer County nonprofit arts and culture organizations and their audiences spent $40,809,095 during fiscal year 2015 (national median is $35,750,645). The impact from these expenditures is far reaching. Organizations pay employees, purchase supplies, contract for services, and acquire assets within their community. Those dollars, in turn, generated almost $25 million in household income for local residents and more than $4 million in local and state government revenues. “Mercer County has a vibrant arts and culture community and has become a destination for visitors seeking to take in a theatrical production, visit a museum, or attend a musical performance,” said County Executive Brian M. Hughes. “Based on this study, we are able to better assess the industry’s economic impact

and see the direct and indirect benefits that this has on our regional economy.” A snapshot of the county’s nonprofit arts and culture industry (25 organizations reporting) showed their events leveraged $18.7 million in event-related spending by its audiences. Patrons of

the arts often eat dinner in local restaurants, pay for parking, buy gifts and souvenirs, and pay a baby sitter. In Mercer County, these dollars support 1,367 full-time equivalent jobs with Mercer County residents spending more than $25 per event (in addition to cost of admission). The arts and culture industry in Mercer County also attracts non-residents to spend their money and time in Mercer. More than 70 percent of the audience members surveyed for this study came from out of the county - a direct indication of how tourism can spur further economic vitality. In addition to conducting detailed organizational surveys, this study also used on-site audience exit surveys conducted at various county arts and cultural venues to further assess the larger impact that the industry has on the Mercer County economy. The County partnered with Americans for the Arts and assisted in identifying the County’s cultural resources; providing detailed contact information; and helping to coordinate audience survey information for this study. This study also identified how rich Mercer County is in “human resources.” The 25 organizations surveyed reported working with almost 1,800 arts and culture volunteers who donated 88,973 hours to Mercer County’s nonprofit arts and culture organizations. This represents a donation of time with an estimated aggregate value of more than $2 million. For more information on this study and the national study, visit www.mercercounty.org/ch.

MONTGOMERY

Video series seeks to engage more residents

Who makes Montgomery the town it is and will become? Did you know that most of the municipality’s decision-making boards and committees are 100 percent volunteer? There is now a video series online to help Montgomery residents learn more and engage with their local government. The videos are brief interviews with the chairmen and chairwomen of key committees. Each explains what their board of appointed volunteers does in seven minutes or less. The videos are up on the township website (www.montgomery.nj.us) and on a new “Montgomery Videos 4 Volunteering” YouTube channel (www.bit.ly/YTVol). The video project developed when the Montgomery Township Environmental Commission/Sustainable Montgomery conducted a survey of the members of the municipal committees to determine if the membership of the committees matched the makeup of the overall Township population. While 87 percent of respondents agreed that all members of the community had the opportunity to participate, and 79.6 percent agreed that different cultures were welcomed in the town-

ship; only slightly more than half of respondents (57.7 percent) believed that diversity was well-represented on the board/commission/committee on which they serve, indicating to the Environmental Commission that there was room for improvement. Montgomery leadership would like the town’s boards to represent as closely as possible a crosssection of the township by age, gender, orientation, ethnicity, heritage and background. The idea was born for a series of brief outreach videos explaining the goals and duties of individual committees. By these videos the Environmental Commission hopes to show what it is like to be on a volunteer board so that more residents may consider serving. “After we analyzed the survey results, we held a Community Forum to gather ideas about ways we could proceed,” said Mary Reece, chairwoman of the Environmental Commission. “One resident indicated that she did not know what opportunities were available for interested volunteers. Nor did she understand the requirements for the various committees and commissions. Others con-

As a result, we decided to develop a video series to answer those questions.” A senior girl scout, Julia Garaffa, stepped up to conduct 13 interviews and to create the video series as her Gold Award Project.

The new sidewalk is being built partly in response to the increased demand for a pedestrian walkway between Montgomery High School and the village of Blawenburg on County Route 518. “The result will be a dramatic safety improvement for students and all other pedestrians,” Somerset County Freeholder Mark Caliguire said. Students walk on the side of County Route 601 to reach Blawenburg. Also, Somerset County officials believe it may be used by pedestrians who are

visiting Skillman Park, which opened in 2014, and SAVE, the animal shelter which moved to its present location on County Route 601 in 2015. The sidewalk grew out of a road safety audit that was conducted along County Route 601 by the Rutgers University Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation, along with Somerset County and Montgomery Township officials and staff. The road safety audit documented safety issues for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists who use County Route 601. The study noted that pedestrians are unsure which side of the road to use - the west side or the east side. A decision was made to build the sidewalk on the east side of County Route 601 to avoid the utility poles and the

Blawenburg cemetery on the west side of the road, Caliguire said. Part of the path, between Montgomery High School and the bridge over Rock Brook, will be made of asphalt. It will be eight feet wide, along the Skillman Park frontage. Once the sidewalk crosses the bridge over Rock Brook, pavers will be used so that it ties into the paver sidewalks in the village of Blawenburg, Caliguire said. It will narrow down to six feet in width as it enters the historic district. Construction work began last month, and the project is expected to be finished in late November. Most of the $2.3 million tab will be picked up by the New Jersey Department of Transportation, under the County Aid portion of the agency’s local-aid program.

Checks for fresh produce available to qualifying adults

There is still an opportunity for older adults in Mercer County to receive fresh-produce checks that will enable them to purchase locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables at participating farm stands. Representatives from the Mercer County Nutrition Office will offer the checks on Friday, Sept. 8, between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the Cooperative Extension of Mercer County, 930 Spruce St., Lawrence. Eligible older adults will receive checks to redeem fresh produce at various vendor sites throughout the county. Each person will receive five $5 checks that total $25 and are valid until Nov. 30, 2017. Note that checks will be distributed on a first-come, firstserved basis as there are limited checks this year. The Farmers Market program was developed to provide low-income older adults with checks they can use to purchase fresh produce grown by New Jersey farmers. The Mercer County Nutrition Program is the lead agency and coordinator in Mercer County for the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program, and has been for a number of years. Qualifications are as follows: a single person’s

WHAT’S UP

RESULTS Princeton U soccer The Princeton University men’s soccer team opened the season by playing eighthranked Syracuse to a 1-1 tie on Sept. 1, before falling to Colgate, 1-0, last Sunday. In the tie against the Orange, Frankie DeRosa scored for the Tigers with an assist from Daniel Bowkett. Jacob Schachner made four saves in goal for PU. In the loss to Colgate, Schachner also finished the game with four saves. Princeton was scheduled to play its home opener on Thursday against Seton Hall. The Tigers are then off until Sept. 15 when they will be home to Southern Illinois-Edwardsville.

PHS volleyball The Princeton High girls’ volleyball team opened the season with a 25-17, 25-23 victory over East Brunswick on Tuesday.

Tough opener for PHS 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. We’ll make sure of that. We have a great coaching staff and I am real happy about that.” Renda was thrust into the quarterback role after the injury to Doran and performed well. The freshman completed 14 of 25 passes for 105 yards. Senior Will Smith and junior Stephen Hen-

nessey each caught four passes, while sophomore Jay Jackson hauled in a pair of receptions. “We like him a lot,” Gallagher said of Renda. “I know he will do a nice job for us. He’s a real hard worker in the weight room. 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. While Princeton opened its season last Saturday, Montgomery will open the season today at home against Ridge in a 7 p.m. start. The Hun School also begins its season this weekend when the Raiders will be the host to Royal Imperial Collegiate of Canada on Saturday at 1 p.m.

Optimism abounds for girls’ soccer teams By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

The Princeton High School girls’ soccer team has some strong veteran players that it can rely on as it opens the season. With a deep and talented group, the Little Tigers will be looking to improve on last season, when they finished 11-8 and reached the second round of the Central Jersey, Group IV state tournament. “We have to be patient early on as all of our players find their confidence,” said Princeton coach Val Rodriguez, whose team opened the season with a 2-1 victory over Manapalan on Tuesday. “If we can do this I feel our team can play some great soccer this season. We have a number of strong returners and some great newcomers. We are asking some girls to play different positions this year. This can take time to develop but in the long run we feel will be very effective.” Princeton returns a strong group of seniors that includes Isabella Giglio (forward/defense), Isabella Stier (forward), Lauren Woodbury (forward), Sabine Waldeck (defense/forward), Gracia DiBianco (defense), Colette Marciano (midfield), Kristina Miers (forward), Devon Lis (midfield), and Abaigeal Ryan (defense). Junior Kathryn DeMilt (defense) and Shannon Romaine

(midfield) are also back, as well as sophomores Caroline Ealy (goalkeeper), Lauren Rougas (defense), Morgan Beamer (forward), Kirin Kunukkasseril (forward), and Shaylah Marciano (goalkeeper). “I am confident that Devon and Colette’s leadership will shine in the midfield and will help lift our team in the tough games,” Rodriguez said. The newcomers to the varsity include seniors Kelly Bowen (defense) and Joslen Beslity (defense), juniors Hannah Colaizzo (forward), Julia Thomson (defense), and Camille Franklin (forward), and sophomore Molly Frain (midfield). Colette Marcianio, who shares captain duties with Lis, scored a goal in the triumph over Manalapan. Franklin, a transfer from Tennessee, also scored a goal. Princeton Day School seemed poised for another strong season, but the Panthers ran into some unexpected roster defections that will change the tone for the upcoming season. “In addition to the loss of some key players to graduation, the team has also suffered from the new Academy Program rule that prohibits players from playing in high school,” PDS coach Patrick Trombetta said. “As a result, three Division 1 commits will not be eligible to play in 2017.” The Panthers won’t have goalkeeper Grace Barbara, midfielder

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

with a huge chorus of 200 people but when you hear it in a more chamber music-like surrounding in a smaller hall, like Richardson, I think different parts of the performance are going to spring up. “Also, I think people can observe the individual investment of each performer on stage Photo courtesy of Westminster College of the Arts. because that piece is perhaps one of the most The Westminster Symphonic Choir will join Princeton Symphony Orchestra for its season challenging works in opening concerts at Richardson Auditorium. the repertoire.

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

Student Victoria Wayland’s rendering of the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts is being featured in promotional materials for the Arts Council of Princeton’s 50th birthday celebration. you’re a university town.” A major goal of the arts council, Reeves says, was to bridge the university and the town. 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. The Arts Council of Princeton will host a 50th birthday party at the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts 102 Witherspoon St., Princeton, Sept. 16, noon to 3 p.m. The opening reception for the 50th Anniversary Invitational Exhibition in the Taplin Gallery will be held, 3-5 p.m. For more information, go to www.artscouncilofprinceton.org or call 609924-8777.

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.

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 Â¼ cup olive oil 3 onions, chopped Salt Â¼ 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 Â½ 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.
