‘Princeton hero’ settles into life after politics By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer
It’s been 52 years since Bill Bradley ran up and down Dillon Gym in shorts and sneakers and nearly 40 years since he campaigned up and down New Jersey to join the U.S. Senate. Now 74, he was back Monday morning in the community where the Missouri native found celebrity as a basketball player for Princeton University, in the same state where he launched a political career that he envisioned ending with him at the White House. “Are you carrying the burden for all press today?” Bradley asks as he is being interviewed on Nassau Street, before he announces he is endorsing fellow Democrat Phil
Murphy for governor. Bradley, dressed in a sports coat and, in a nod to the colors of his alma mater, a black tie with orange dots, is making small talk on the sidewalk before he goes inside for a press conference. He and Murphy chat beforehand, with Bradley lamenting some of the traffic in the part of New Jersey, Monmouth County, where Murphy lives. “Eighteen is tough,” Bradley tells him in reference to Route 18. Bradley is no longer the politician, but rather an investment banker for Allen & Company traveling the world and living in New York. “He likes what he does,” said John McPhee, the author and Princeton professor who wrote a
book about Bradley, “A Sense of Where You Are.” “He has really settled into this job. When he first went there, I think he was testing it out, but it has really worked.” Bradley also is the host of a talk show on satellite radio, something he has been doing for the past 13 years, on his program called “American Voices.” “I interview people about their lives across the country,” he said. His guests are either with people with unusual jobs - think a man who washes skyscrapers in New York City or the groundskeeper at Fenway Park or someone who has done something “selfless in their community.” A recent guest had spent 17 years in prison, started working as See BRADLEY, Page 5

JazzFeast: Sweet treats and swinging sounds Palmer Square was filled with the sounds of jazz and the aromas of outdoor cooking Sunday, Sept. 17, as young and old alike enjoyed the 26th annual Princeton JazzFeast. The JazzFeast, a free, family-friendly, open-air jazz festival traditionally swings with the joy of great music and food. This year's event featured performances by some of the industry’s best jazz musicians. Above left, Hakan Tureci, of Princeton, looks on as his wife, Esin, feeds 14-month-old Rey some ice cream at JazzFeast. Not pictured is brother Eya, 3, who was also enjoying his ice cream.

Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane will get a pay hike and be eligible to earn merit bonuses pushing his annual compensation past $200,000, in a new five-year contract the school board will vote on later this month. Cochrane is benefiting from recent changes to state regulations controlling the pay of chief school administrators — tying their pay to the enrollment of their districts. Based on the old rules, Cochrane‘s salary was capped at $165,000, but he received a $2,500 stipend because the district has a high school, and earned performance based merit pay. The salary cap, something the Christie administration implemented in 2011, has been criticized for driving talent out of the state. Cochrane’s predecessor, Judith A. Wilson, left the district at the end of 2013, before she would have had to take a pay cut, from the $225,000 she was making had she wanted to continue working in See CONTRACT, Page 2
Montgomery designated as a Purple Heart community By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
215-354-3146
In a ceremony tinged with sadness, Montgomery Township joined the ranks of a handful of New Jersey towns that have been
designated as Purple Heart communities. The ceremony, held Tuesday night, marked the 11th anniversary of the combat death of U.S. Army 1st Lt. Ashley Henderson Huff. She graduated from Montgomery High School in 2000. Mike Maloney of the Montgomery Township Veterans Memorial Committee welcomed the attendees to the ceremony in the courtroom at the Municipal Building, noting that “we gather under the watchful eye of our township’s namesake, General Richard Montgomery.” Gen. Montgomery was killed in action in the American Revolutionary War. “This evening, as we celebrate something very special - becoming a Purple Heart community - we must also honor and remember
those who earned the military honor,” Maloney said. “The Purple Heart is given in two circumstances - to those wounded in action, and to those killed in action. One will see and hold the Purple Heart, and (the other) one will never see or hold the Purple Heart,” Maloney said. “This evening, we honor and remember both. We honor and remember the almost 2 million Purple Heart recipients, here and across our great nation. We honor and remember our own - those who never saw and never held the Purple Heart,” he said. Maloney read off a list of names of Montgomery Township residents who were killed in action, starting with John A. Cray and James Cray, who died in the Civil War. See PURPLE, Page 2

ment” for the township, adding that is an honor and a privilege to be named a Purple Heart community. Then, U.S. Army Brigadier Gen. Michael Cunniff, who is the Adjutant General of the New Jersey Army and Air National Guard, awarded the New Jersey Distinguished Service Medal to SPC. Warner and Lt. Huff, posthumously. It is the state’s highest military honor. “What we are doing here tonight is more important, and more necessary, than ever,” Gen. Cunniff said. “It is important because we are recognizing Americans who are the very definition of heroes. They put the needs of this country above their own and paid a price in blood, or their lives,” Gen. Cuniff said. It is necessary because “we are a nation at war, yet a country where fewer than one percent of our population serves in the military,” he said, adding that the township’s designation as a Purple Heart community raises awareness of the sacrifices that military service members have made. “It has been said that a nation sends its best to war, and

Warner was killed in action during the Vietnam War, and Lt. Huff died in Operation Iraqi Freedom in Mosul, Iraq. She was awarded the Purple Heart medal posthumously. The Purple Heart award grew out of the Badge of Military Merit, which was established by Gen. George Washington in 1782 to honor soldiers who performed a “meritorious action.“ It was not given out again after the Revolutionary War. The medal was revived and renamed the Purple Heart in 1932, on the 200th anniversary of Gen. Washington’s birth, Ted Dima told the attendees. He is the senior vice commander of Somerset County Chapter 27 of the Military Order of the Purple Heart. “You earn the Purple Heart. As with any other military honor, you earn it. You don’t win it,” Dima said. Dima presented a plaque, acknowledging Montgomery Township’s designation as a Purple Heart community, to Mayor Ed Trzaska.

But new rules that took effect in May raised the top pay to $191,584, increased the stipend to $5,000 and allowed superintendents to get 2-percent annual raises as part of a new contract for staying with their districts. Cochrane also can earn merit pay of around $30,000 per year for meeting district goals. If so, that would put his total compensation to

There are plans to name the main entrance driveway to Montgomery High School as “1st Lt. Ashley Henderson Huff Memorial Drive.” A ceremony may be held later. Wrapping up the cere-
mony, Maloney of the Montgomery Township Veterans Memorial Committee pointed to the POW/MIA Chair of Honor that had been set up on a pedestal in the front of the meeting room. “As of this evening, 82,476 service members are officially unaccounted for.

around what Wilson was earning when she left four years ago. The deal will keep Cochrane, 57, running the school system that he has been in charge of since 2014. The deal is retroactive to July 1. “I’m tremendously excited to be in Princeton at this particular juncture,” Cochrane said Thursday. “We’re doing transformative work, and I’m privileged to be a part of it and look for-
ward to continuing.” The school board is due to vote on Cochrane’s contract Sept. 26. School board president Patrick Sullivan said Thursday that under the old salary cap, Cochrane “was making less than some principals.” “We always thought that it was unfair that he was limited to that,” Sullivan said. “But he’s done a good job over the last two and a half years. We’re happy to be able to retain him.”

Work begins on Route 206 bridge replacement By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
Work has begun on the replacement of a badly deteriorated bridge that crosses Cruser Brook on Route 206 and which is a stone’s throw from the Montgomery Township Municipal Building. The work started immediately after Labor Day, and it is expected to take two years to complete the proj-
ect, according to Township Administrator Donato Nieman. The bridge replacement project has been in the works for decades, Nieman said. The bridge, which is under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey Department of Transportation, is in imminent danger of failure. “It is very old and it is in very poor condition,” Nieman said. The bridge was built in
1925, and its overall condition is poor, according to NJDOT. The reinforcing bars on the concrete bridge are exposed and rusting on the underside of the bridge. The project spans about 1,750 feet along Route 206, and includes replacing the existing concrete bridge with a new concrete bridge. The new bridge will incorporate a 6-foot-wide sidewalk on the southbound side.
Route 206 already has two 12-foot-wide lanes, which will not be changed. The shoulders, however, will be widened to eight feet. Their present width varies, according to NJDOT. The project will not require closing off Route 206 at any time. The work will be done in stages, and access to all homes and businesses along Route 206 will be maintained at all times.
Moms in Business plans ‘Triple Challenge’ fundraiser
By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
Aiming to raise money for the all-volunteer Montgomery Emergency Medical Services, a group of mothers is organizing a children’s triathlon - a scaled-down version of adult triathlons. Moms in Business is sponsoring the fundraising event - dubbed “The Triple Challenge” - for children ages 5-13 on Oct. 1. The event, which will be held at Skillman Park (between County Route 601 and Burnt Hill Road), will run
from 1 to 4 p.m. The cost is $20 per child, or $50 for families with three or more children, for those who register by Sept. 30. It is $25 per child, or $65 for families with three or more children, on the day of the event. Children will run and then ride their bicycles. The 5- to 7-year-olds will run for a quarter mile and then ride their bicycle for a quarter mile. For the 8- to 10-yearolds, it’s a half mile. And for the really big kids - the 11- to 13-year-olds - it’s a mile. All children will finish up with an obstacle course.
It will consist of a hula hoop hop and a mat maze - complete with dead ends. Children will dribble a soccer ball or basketball through a set of cones, and also crawl through a tunnel. For those who do not want to run or ride their bicycles, there will be face-painting, a balloonist and other childfriendly activities. There will also be a tricky tray, or silent auction, for the adults. Business sponsors, vendors, community organizations and nonprofit groups may set up informational tables at the event. Moms in Business, which
was founded in Montgomery Township, is made up of mothers/entrepreneurs. Members are professionals, small business owners and direct sellers of products. Moms in Business wants to support the Montgomery EMS, which provides emergency medical services at no cost to patients. And that’s why Moms in Business decided to step in and organize the Triple Challenge - a fundraising event that it hopes will become an annual one.

Revitalized ‘Operation Friends’ to help Hurricane Harvey victims By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, Montgomery Township and Rocky Hill Borough residents are teaming up with the Montgomery Township public school district to help the hurricane victims in Houston, Texas. A revitalized Operation Friends, which aided victims of Hurricane Katrina in Biloxi, Miss., in 2005, aims to collect clothing, toiletries
and other items for the latest hurricane victims in Houston - between now and Oct. 7. This time around, donors who want to help Hurricane Harvey victims can pick up a box for free at any one of the five Montgomery Township public schools. Boxes are also available at the school district administration building next to Montgomery High School. They are available at the Montgomery True Value hardware store, which is a few doors away from the
ShopRite grocery store on Route 206. Donors can fill the boxes with new summer clothing (with the tags attached), plus toiletries, school supplies and a toy or stuffed animal or two for a specific grade-level child. The gender, clothing size and grade level should be written on the box. Similar boxes for adults also can be prepared. Those boxes should include clothing, toiletries, small tools and towels. Kitchen utensils
or small appliances also may be included. The gender and size of the clothing should be written on the box. The boxes do not need to be sealed. Operation Friends volunteers will seal the boxes. A note to the recipient, personalizing the gifts, would be appropriate. The filled boxes can be dropped off at the five public schools, the school district administration building or at the barn at the Daube Farm on Sunset Road.

KEEPING DENTURES CLEAN Unless dentures are cleaned daily and properly maintained, they will accumulate food particles and “plaque” (bacterial film) that can lead to bad breath, inflamed gums, and even chronic disease. With this in mind, denture wearers are strongly urged to either brush their prosthetic teeth or soak them in a cleaning solution. Arguably, the best cleaning method is brushing with toothpaste. However, for those who experience difficulty brushing their dentures effectively, soaking can remove as much plaque as brushing. For short soaks of about 15 minutes, enzymatic and effervescent solutions are probably equally effective at removing plaque. For longer soaks up to eight hours, enzyme denture-cleaning solutions may be preferable. Rinse dentures well regardless of the cleaning method. Dentures today have
never been more effective, easy to use, comfortable, and appealing. However, you still need to take care of them with regular professional checkups and scrupulous home care. Complete dental care for all members of your family is available at our office, where we utilize only the latest in dental technology for your care and comfort. Office hours are by appointment; please call 609-924-8300. We create great smiles at Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman. Please e-mail your questions or comments to: drjamescally@yahoo.com
P.S. When cleaning dentures, avoid using abrasive materials such as brushes with stiff bristles, whitening toothpastes, and products containing bleach, all of which can damage dentures.

STATE WE’RE IN
Protecting the Highlands - it’s the water By Michele S. Byers
If you drink Budweiser, you’re drinking water from New Jersey’s Highlands! A rugged, mostly forested 1,250-squaremile region stretching diagonally across northern New Jersey, the Highlands supplies drinking water to about 6.2 million people, or more than 70 percent of the state’s population. That includes residents of Newark, Jersey City and Paterson, the state’s three largest cities, as well as parts of 16 of New Jersey’s 21 counties. Thanks to purification provided naturally and for free by Highlands forests, the region‘s water is among the cleanest and least expensive in the U.S. New Jersey’s pharmaceutical, manufacturing, and food and beverage industries depend on this clean Highlands water. Due in part to the importance of Highlands water to this state we’re in, New Jersey enacted the 2004 Highlands Water Protection and Planning Act to protect the region’s forests, farms and waterways. The Highlands Act found that “protection of the State’s drinking water supply and other key natural resources …. could not be left to the uncoordinated land use decisions of 88 municipalities, seven counties and a myriad of private landowners,” all making decisions in a vacuum. The Highlands law established regional planning and set up the state Highlands Water Protection and Planning Council, which adopted a Regional Master Plan in 2008 to protect and enhance the value of water, forests, farmland and other natural, historic, cultural and scenic resources. The 860,000-acre Highlands Region includes the core “Preservation Area,” which is primarily forested and less developed, and the more suburbanized “Planning Area.” Municipalities in the Preservation Area are required to conform to the Highlands Regional Master Plan, while conformance is voluntary for Planning Area municipalities. While the Highlands Act and its Regional Master Plan’s planning and water protection have been successful, many threats are challenging long-term success. One, the independence of the Highlands Council and its mandate to protect the region was damaged under the Christie administration. The Council now has several members appointed by the administration who have sought repeatedly to undermine the Highlands Act and Regional Master Plan. Two, rollbacks of state environmental regulations protecting the region have advanced during the Christie administration. For example, proposed new septic density regulations for the Highlands Preservation Area would allow more subdivision of large properties, which would result in more contamination of both surface and groundwater, as well as loss of forests, wildlife habitat and biodiversity. Finally, voluntary conformance with the regional plan has lagged, hampered during the past eight years by the Christie administration and pockets of local hostility toward the Highlands Act and Regional Master Plan. Let’s not wait until it is too late!
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Build new senior complexes with highest fire safety standards
Support for school board candidate Jenny Ludmer
To the editor: According to recent reports, a 76-unit senior community has been proposed at a site near the Princeton Shopping Center at the corner of Harrison Street and Terhune Road. As longtime residents of Princeton, we welcome the application for a much needed community for seniors in our town. That said, it would also be reassuring to know that future residents will be safe in a complex which is built to the highest possible fire safety standards. Assuming the application is accepted, we believe it would be prudent for council to request that the developer build the units to incorporate masonry fire walls through the roof. Equally important, they should also include an upgraded sprinkler system which complies with NFPA 13 standards requiring that sprinklers be installed in concealed combustible spaces. This is not required under NFPA 13R, the current acceptable standard for residential complexes. We know that recently some New Jersey developers have voluntarily agreed to meet similar upgraded safety measures for some of their projects. Some have argued that extra fire safety precautions in construction of multi-residential buildings are not necessary and that building to state code is sufficient. Actually, existing codes are minimum standards and upgrades by developers do not occur often enough. And we have seen from the recent massive fire in Edgewater, N.J. (January 2015) that building to state code did not prevent that conflagration from happening. Nor did building to state code in Georgia manage to stop the fire which burned more than 70 units of the Marshall Square Community (June 2015) in Evans, Georgia, even though these buildings were rigorously inspected. That fire forced 80 senior residents to evacuate their homes, many in pajamas and using walkers or wheelchairs. From a safe distance, they could only sit back and watch as their homes and all of their belongings were destroyed. One woman, age 91, died in the fire and another 81-year-old woman was rescued after seven hours, being pulled from burning rubble. The proposal of the senior complex in Princeton is for elderly residents who may be spending the last years and months of their lives at this location. They may be disabled or less mobile and therefore should be living in an environment which is completely safe for them. Community residents, who may have family members or friends living at this facility and ultimately may be living there as well, will want to know that their complex is built to the best fire-safety standards. These measures for the new senior complex should be viewed as a worthwhile investment in protecting our senior citizens.
To the editor: This letter is to express our support for Jenny Ludmer, a proven school and community leader, former scientific analyst, and friend. As the parent of three children, ranging from second- to seventh-graders, Jenny is well aware of the many strengths of the district, but is also aware of its challenges. Raised in public schools herself, she is a passionate advocate for our community schools, as well as an active volunteer for the two schools her children attend: Littlebrook Elementary and John Witherspoon Middle School. Shortly after moving to Princeton six years ago, Jenny threw herself into volunteer work both for the schools and the community. Her remarkable organizational skills have allowed her to lead successful sustainability efforts at the schools, as well as a chess after-school activity, a thriving garden program, and an annual Science Expo. She also serves on the board of the JWMS PTO and is a member of the Complete Streets Committee for the town. With her dedication and persistence in pursuing the issues, Jenny is poised to be an effective and active board member. She cares deeply about issues facing our schools and students, including the challenges of stress, as well as racial bias and religious intolerance. Jenny also wants to see special education strengthened and differentiated instruction improved. Finally, she understands the need for prudent stewardship of our facilities and responsible planning for future growth. In order to take on any of these issues, the district must learn to work more efficiently and board members must work collaboratively. Jenny will be a strong addition to the board to ensure this happens. Once she gets behind an issue, she knows how to work with administrators, board members, teachers, parents and the community to deliver impactful results. With a hard-working board, we believe the district can become more responsive to the taxpaying public and more financially responsible. The national pressures facing our schools and our community are critical and have been intensified with the current administration. Now is the time to look closely at your local candidates and ensure they have the time and energy to both protect and promote our schools. Jenny has made the choice to dedicate herself to working with others to see the schools grow, and we are confident she will continue to give 100 percent as a board member. We encourage everyone to learn more about Jenny’s campaign by visiting her website: LudmerForBOE.org.

Tulpehaking Nature Center to offer The Birding Series Fledgling birdwatchers get a second chance to build their skills this fall at the Tulpehaking Nature Center to observe migratory bird patterns throughout the Abbott Marshlands. The Birding 201 Series will take place Saturdays, Sept. 23, and 30, from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. Led by local expert Bill Pitman, this four-part series is designed for beginning and first-time birdwatchers to practice identifying birds by shape, size, behavior and habitat. “By building this solid
foundation,” says Pitman, “they’ll be able to experience more of the bird instead of missing out while consulting a field guide.” The focus will be the many migrating birds that stop to refuel at the Abbott Marshlands. Class members will be on the lookout for enduring birds like the blackpoll warbler, which migrates from Alaska and Northern Canada to South America, including a threeday nonstop flight over the Atlantic Ocean. Rest stops like the Abbott Marshlands become critical feeding sites for birds migrating south to their winter grounds. This workshop is $5 per person or $15 for the series if paid at the first class. This series is appropriate for teens and adults. Preregistration is required; please call (609) 888-3218, email natureprograms@mercercounty.org. The Tulpehaking Nature Center is located at 157 Westcott Ave. in Hamilton. It is open Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m.

a plumber when he got out, and donates part of his salary to a scholarship fund for children of people in prison. “I think that Bill’s at a time in his life where he’s happy in what he’s doing,” said former Princeton teammate and ex-university athletic director Gary Walters. “He’s calling all his own shots as it relates to what he wants to do.” Bradley, a Democrat, was a U.S. Senator for three terms, from 1979 to 1997, but he left office rather than seek re-election. Asked where the time has gone, Bradley replies: “Ask my
body, it’ll tell you.” “He spent eighteen years in the Senate and decided that, for him, that was enough, that he had served as long as he felt like it and he wanted to get on to something else,” McPhee said. In 2000, Bradley ran for president but lost in the primary to Vice President Al Gore. The defeat was a disappointment, for someone who had reached the top as an athlete and never lost a political campaign before that. He says he does not miss politics, even though he has stepped into this year’s race for governor. “I think Phil’s a great

The year before, in 1964, he won a gold medal playing for the USA basketball team in the Olympics. He and other Olympic athletes got invited to the White House to meet President Lyndon Johnson, Bradley said in sharing the story. Then only 19, he was on the receiving line, behind a swimmer and a wrestler, as he recalled it during the press conference. The next thing he knows, he shakes the president’s hand and hears, in a Texas drawl, “Move on.” “Lyndon Johnson did not want his picture taken with another person who was taller than he was,” been an outlier in the under- Bradley recalled. Bradley toured the performance,” he said before heading to a scheduled stop in Trenton. In getting the endorsement of Bradley, a fellow Democrat, Murphy received the support of someone who has been on the state political scene since the 1990s. Bradley, 74, played college basketball for Princeton and then later for the New York Knicks, represented New Jersey in the U.S. Senate for three terms, from 1979 to 1997, and then lost his primary bid in 2000 for president against Vice President Al Gore. The Nov. 7 gubernatorial election is 50 days away, but Murphy is seen as the favorite to succeed incumbent Republican Gov. Chris Christie. He is leading Republican challenger, current Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, by more than 20 points, according to a recent poll by Quinnipiac University. The survey, released Sept. 13, showed him ahead 58-33. candidate, I think he’ll be a good governor and I think that he‘s, from my perspective, got the experience and the range of experience,” Bradley said with Murphy nearby. “And I think he understands what the problems are here that are affecting families.” Outside the building where the press conference will take place, some members of the extended family of Princeton University basketball, including current men’s head coach Mitch Henderson, were waiting on the sidewalk. Later, during the event, Mayor Liz Lempert called Bradley “our Princeton hero.” Bradley graduated from
Bradley endorses Murphy for governor By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Phil Murphy stopped in Princeton Monday to get the endorsement of former U.S. Sen. and basketball hall-of-famer Bill Bradley, who called him the “right change” for the state. “I think it’s a great, great time for New Jersey, it’s a great opportunity for New Jersey,” Bradley said while seated next to Murphy in the Tigerlabs office on Nassau Street. “If you look at the last eight years, a lot of people have kind of taken it on the chin.” He pointed to rising property taxes and mass transit costs, and recalled Murphy’s humble beginnings - growing up living paycheck to paycheck when he was young. Murphy later went to Harvard and then got an MBA from Wharton before going into finance during a more than-20-yearcareer at Goldman Sachs.
“We’ve just had some tough times that have been caused by bad political, governmental decisions and sometimes the failure to act,” Bradley said. “I look at Phil’s background, he’s not going to have a problem with the budget or the financing of the state or about education in this state.” The setting for the endorsement - in a place aimed at helping businesses - was intentional on the part of the Murphy campaign, although there were no new proposals the candidate and frontrunner offered during his tour of the facility or in his remarks afterward. Instead, Murphy criticized the Christie administration for the stewardship of the state‘s economy, with average income down and rising costs for the middle class. He touched on the “meaningful underperformance - household income, the inequities, the lack of growth in the economy.” “This administration has

Tigerlabs office, where the press conference was held, and shook hands with people working inside. Scott Fisher recalled meeting the then-senator 25 years ago. “I just remember him being really nice, we took pictures,” Fisher said. “It’s great to see that he’s still active.” In his career, Bradley was never known as an electrifying speaker or a backslapping politician. For someone who lived in the public eye as a college athlete, then as a professional basketball player with the New York Knicks and then finally as a politician, he had a social awkwardness about him. “He’s gotten much better,” said Princeton resident Ross Wishnick who attended the press conference, “but in the beginning when
he was running, he was really very shy.” “In person, one on one, he’s the most engaging person and brilliant,” Wishnick said. “But he didn’t have this stage charisma until he got older.” After the press conference ended, Bradley left to help two Democrats running for the state Legislature in Princeton, just across the street from the university where it all had started for him. Walters said he believes Bradley’s Princeton experience was “transformative.” “I would say for those of us who played with him, have known him for fifty years,” Walters said, “all I can say is that I think that while we were disappointed that he didn’t win the presidency, I think all of us are happy that he’s happy.”

PRINCETON
First aid squad seeks approval to build new headquarters By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer
The Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad will seek approval from the town to build a roughly 15,900square-foot headquarters on Valley Road, as a more than decade-long goal of having a new home is within sight. An application will be filed this week with the municipal zoning board, said PFARS President Mark Freda by phone Friday. He
said he hopes the squad can have a hearing before the board in November and, if the approvals are granted then, PFARS can possibly break ground next April or May at the site of the former Princeton Township Public Works Department. The project is expected to take 12 to 14 months to complete, he said. Freda declined to say how much the squad has raised so far for the $7.8 million job.
“We’ve raised enough money that we could start construction,” he said. “We haven’t raised all the money we need yet.” Some of the money is coming from the municipality. An agreement between PFARS and the town called for the squad to sell its real estate — two residential parcels on Clearview Avenue and the PFARS headquarters — to the municipality. The town already has
acquired the two Clearview properties — which PFARS originally had obtained thinking it would expand its North Harrison Street headquarters from its current footprint. But the roughly $950,000 for both parcels will be paid next year, also when the headquarters property will be appraised, Freda said. For her part, Mayor Liz Lempert said this week that the town had “not yet” decided how to use the proper-
ties. In the past, the municipality has talked of them becoming affordable housing. “But we’re not locked into any particular use for them at this point,” she said Monday. She said one option is for the town to sell them and use the money for what she called “capital projects.” PFARS, founded in 1939, has been operating out of a headquarters built in 1963. The building long ago be-
came obsolete for an organization made up today of roughly 100 members, most of whom are volunteers. As designed, the new building will allow PFFARS to have all 10 of its vehicles stored indoors, “protected as opposed to sitting outside,” Freda said. “This is, obviously, very significant for the squad, it allows us to do a lot of things that we’re not able to do now,” Freda said of having a new building.
Town’s bike sharing program to expand its presence By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer
A bike-sharing program will expand its presence in Princeton, with new stations expected for parts of down-
town including in front of the Princeton Garden Theater. Zagster already has stations at Princeton University, the Institute for Advanced Study and the Princeton
Shopping Center. But the company is poised, around the middle of next month, to have bikes on Hinds Plaza, Chambers Street, in front of the movie theater and at 255 Nassau Street, in front of the
TD Bank, the sponsor of the 20 bikes. “We don’t want to get ahead of the approval process, but we are excited to expand the system in Princeton,” said Zagster
spokesman John Williams by email. “Ridership is up in Princeton generally, the borough has taken up bike share in a model way and is continuing to do so,” he
said. “Princeton University is one of our strongest customers and consistently show their commitment to bettering their campus and community with their bike share efforts.”

Deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, occurs when blood clots in the deep internal veins of the body, usually in the legs. Most of the time, DVT happens to people who are confined to one place for long periods of time due to surgery, bed rest, or pregnancy. Having DVT is life changing and puts the patient at a significant amount of risk. Should the clot loosen, it could travel to the lungs and cause a pulmonary embolism. Anyone with DVT should call 911 immediately if certain symptoms occur. The symptoms of a pulmonary embolism include chest pain that gets worse when inhaling, rapid heart rate, increased respiration, fainting, and anxiety; however, not everyone will experience these symptoms. Even if you’re at risk, you can take steps to prevent DVT. Regular exercise and a low-fat, high fiber diet can help you prevent blood clots.

Tigers open with impressive football win By Bob Nuse Sports Editor
When Mike Fossati looked around the football field on Saturday, he saw a lot of new faces with him on the Princeton University defense. Those new faces merged together quickly, which was a big factor in the Tigers’ opening the season with a 27-17 victory over San Diego at Princeton Stadium. “I loved it,” Fossati, a senior linebacker, said of the way the Tigers played defense in the victory. “Everyone out there was working their tail off and we all gelled together perfectly. I thought we had a few mistakes, but we will correct those for next week. I was happy with the way our defense played.” Fossati came into the game as one of the more experienced players on a Princeton defense that had eight new starters. “I don’t want to think about it differently,” said Fossati, who played in all 10 games at linebacker last season and was eighth on the team with 27 tackles. “As a linebacker, you always have to be vocal and make sure everyone is on the same page. I just try to get out there and get everybody up and ready to play.” The defense did its part to back up an offense that was led by senior quarterback Chad Kanoff, who passed for a career-high 352 yards and three touchdowns. Kanoff, who will handle the position full time while John Lovett is sidelined with an injury, connected with Stephen Carlson on three touchdown passes. A year ago, Carlson caught two passes for the season. On Saturday, he hauled in six passes for 94 yards to go with his three touchdowns. Also contributing to the offense was Jesper Horsted, who caught 12 passes for 108 yards. “It was an unbelievable win,” Fossati said. “Our defense played a great game and our offense, those receivers really know how to go up for the ball. When it is third and long, you’re praying for them to get the first down. But you know it

Jesper Horsted caught 12 passes for 108 yards to help the Princeton University football team to a season-opening 27-17 victory over San Diego last Saturday at Princeton Stadium. is elusive when it is that long. They did a great job going up for the ball and coming down with it. “(San Diego) already had two games under their belt and this was our first game. We were so excited to play and we were all jacked up and happy to come out of here with a win.” Princeton forced three turnovers in the game, but the outcome was still in doubt in the fourth quarter as the Tigers were clinging to a 20-17 lead after San Diego scored with 7:10 left to play. But Kanoff engineered a 66yard scoring drive that included a pair of acrobatic receptions by his talented receivers, as Horsted and
Carlson each made a great catch on third and long plays. The touchdown iced the victory for Princeton and left San Diego with a 1-2 record for the season. “Some of those catches were ridiculous,” Kanoff said. “We had really good protections the whole way through. I think the one I threw to Jesper, I threw with my eyes closed and he caught it. I don’t know if that was my best decision, but he made me right.” Princeton coach Bob Surace wasn’t surprised by the performance of Kanoff, who will handle all of the quarterbacking duties while Lovett is out with an injury. “He’s been doing it every day
in practice,” said Surace, whose team will play at Lafayette on Saturday at 6 p.m. “You trust your eyes and every year he has made a big growth in his development. To do this as a fifth-year senior, you can see his confidence. He has the whole offense aligned and he is putting the ball in tight zones to big receivers.” Princeton opened the 2014 season with a game at San Diego. That team, like this one, was coming off an Ivy League title. But after losing that game, 39-29, Princeton got the better of the Toreros this time around. “I thought it was a great test,” Surace said. “I don’t want to get into the habit of playing a game that doesn’t matter. It’s not fun for the fans or our players. And you want to get a test right away. I knew we were young on defense and when I saw the schedule I knew they were experience on offense and this would give is an amazing opportunity to get ready for the rest of the year.” Kanoff, a rare fifth-year senior in the Ivy League after missing the 2014 season with an injury, was in San Diego the last time these teams met and remembers the game well. “I went to San Diego and they smoked us,” Kanoff said. “We were coming off a championship year and they smoked us. This year we were ready to play and came away with a win. I thought we played well on offense and the defensive guys did a great job. Surace was happy with the way his entire team responded, particularly the young defensive unit. “That is a very good offense,” Surace said of San Diego. “They return almost all of their starters. Their quarterback played a great game as well. I thought we had a few moments where we were a little bit soft on the coverage. I knew they were going to take shots. They challenged us and we came through.” So Princeton heads to Lafayette with a 1-0 record after finally getting out onto the field to play. As is the case every year, the Ivy League teams open against teams that have already played one or two games to start the season.
Bennett’s hard work pays off for PHS tennis By Bob Nuse Sports Editor
Helen Bennett spent the first three years of her Princeton High tennis career making the slow climb up the JV ladder. Now a senior, Bennett has established herself as a fixture in the singles lineup for the Little Tigers, realizing that her hard work and determination have paid off. “I played two years on JV and then last year as a floater between varsity and JV,” said Bennett, who is 4-2 overall as a singles player this season for Princeton. “This is my first year playing singles for the team. I play a lot outside of school and I have worked a lot with my coach on improving skills that I have needed to work on over the years. He’s helped me expand my number of serves. The team has been very encouraging and coming up with all of these older girls and being a senior now I definitely have a big spot to fill.” Bennett started the season playing third singles for Princeton, where she posted victories as the Little Tigers won tough matches against Notre Dame and West Windsor-Plainsboro South. She moved up to second singles due to a lineup change and has split her four matches since moving up one spot on the ladder. “She worked really hard on her game in the offseason,” said Princeton coach Sarah Hibbert, whose team improved to 6-0 with a 3-2 decision over West WindsorPlainsboro North on Monday. “She put in a lot of time working on her

Senior Helen Bennett has made the move into the singles lineup for the Princeton High girls tennis team, helping the Little Tigers to a 6-0 start to the season. singles. She had made her way to third singles and she has now moved up to second singles due to a change in the lineup. “She works hard and is a captain. She is such a good kid. She has improved quite bit.” Bennett worked her way up from the bottom of the JV team as a freshman to the top of the JV team as a junior. She also filled in for the varsity last year, going undefeated in five matches as a doubles player. This year she has not only made the transition from junior
varsity to varsity, but from doubles to singles as well. “This is my first year with singles,” Bennett said. “Coming into the season I wasn’t expecting to play singles. But after the challenge matches, it worked out and I am enjoying it so far. “It is a change because I feel like the level is different but not just because they might be better. Also because playing by yourself is so different than playing with someone else. The mental game is also different because when you have a partner you can share your thoughts
and nerves about the match. But when you are by yourself you have to talk yourself thorough it.” Bennett has certainly made the most of her opportunity to play singles this season, She has helped solidify the Princeton lineup as the team heads into the Mercer County Tournament, which begins on Monday at Mercer County Park. Her hard work has put her into the position to get to play at the varsity level, which has been a goal throughout her career. “I made it a goal,” Bennett said. “I started playing more tournaments and worked a lot on my game. The transition from third to second singles is actually a more difficult transition than from doubles to singles. I have been training for singles outside of school. But being able to tell myself that I am ready to play second and keeping my mind under control during the matches is a little more difficult because I know the girls I am playing now are a little better than the ones I was playing before. “I am excited about the county tournament. This will be my first time playing in it and I am looking forward to it.” Hightstown, which won the tournament a year ago, is the favorite again for the MCT. But Princeton will give its best effort to compete. Sora Sato and Adriana Todorova pulled out a three-set win at first doubles to win the match for Princeton against West WindsorPlainsboro North. “We’re going to work as hard as we can and see what happens,” Hibbert said of the MCT.

Young Cougars look to rebound on football field By Bob Nuse Sports Editor
SOMERSET - Zoran Milich realizes there is still plenty of the season left for his Montgomery High football team. But the head coach of the Cougars also knows the importance of getting the first victory of the season, especially with a young team. “We work so hard in the offseason to make sure we don’t go 0-2,” said Milich, whose team fell to 0-2 with a 42-12 loss at Franklin last Friday night. “That can be crushing for a team. But I have also had teams that have come back and won three in a row. Our backs are against the wall, but we can only take one game at a time. Hopefully we will tackle a lot better. It was disappointing. But there was a lot of good to take out of this game.”
Big plays by the Franklin offense made the difference last week in the Cougars’ loss. Three times the Warriors scored on plays of 65 or more yards, while they also ran the kickoff back for a touchdown to open the second half. As Montgomery looks to build with young players, Milich knows that giving up big plays can make all the difference in the world.” “We’re 0-2 right now,” Milich lamented. “But if you take five or six plays out of the game, really it is a different ballgame. On those five or six plays, we just looked so poor. We missed some tackles and they bounced out of tackles. I thought we played pretty well. We just went Keystone Cop on a few plays where we let them run wild. Their quarterback got free on a couple of plays. Due to injuries, we had some younger guys out there.

“The thing that hurts is the down and yards were bad for them. The thing you work for is to get to those down and distance and you should capitalize on that.” Montgomery forced Franklin into a third-and-12 play on the Warriors’ first possession and Antonio Scott connected with Claybourne Fields on a 66-yard touchdown pass. A Montgomery turnover led to a first-and-goal situation for Franklin, which resulted in another Scott to Fields touchdown pass. Still, the Cougars had a shot late in the first quarter to draw even. Montgomery was trailing, 14-6, when it advanced the ball inside the Franklin 20-yard line. But the Cougars came away empty. “We were going on to try and possibly tie the game,” said Milich, whose team is back in action against Hunterdon Central
tonight at 7. “We lost six yards on first down and had second and 16 and never recovered. We were motoring and I felt like we had them tired. We had momentum going. But we shot ourselves in the foot.” Franklin would score on a 65-yard touchdown pass from Scott to Tykey Reinberry and also on a Scott to Tayo Badru 67-yard touchdown pass. Toss in an 87yard kickoff return to open the second half and big plays were crucial blows to Montgomery. Injuries also hurt the Cougars, who saw running back Damian Bland unable to play in the second half due to injury after he had rushed for 89 yards and a touchdown in the first half. “He played his tail off in the first half,” Milich said of Bland. “He gave us everything he had. Josh Perera came in and did a great job in the second half. Some of
the guys had baptism by fire. Our motto around here is next man up. Some of the younger guys got some valuable playing time and they might be playing next week. We lost two captains and our big running back with injuries.” The schedule doesn’t get any easier for the Cougars in the coming weeks, as Hunterdon Central and Bridgewater-Raritan are the next two teams on the docket. The Cougars are on the road in Flemington against Hunterdon Central and then they will be home to BridgewaterRaritan on Sept. 28. “We have (Hunterdon) Central and Bridgewater coming down the pike so it doesn’t get any easier,” Milich said. “You can only focus on one game at a time. Right now our focus is on seeing our mistakes. The thing I told the kids was I was proud of them on a lot of things. I thought they
came out in the second half and played hard. Tackling is a desire. We work on it. You have to either want to do it or you don’t. Some of the younger guys don’t have the reps. They are going to get them now.” “That’s the hard thing about it. We played so well on first and second down and then on third down we give up a big play on third down. We have a lot of new faces out here. And even some of the guys who are seniors are in new positions.” Also on the gridiron last weekend, Princeton fell to 0-3 with a 53-18 loss to Hightstown. The Little Tigers are off this week and will play at Lawrence on Sept. 28. The Hun School improved to 2-0 with a 48-0 victory over Stellar Prep of California. Patrick Holly threw for 415 yards and five touchdown passes to spark the Raiders.
PHS girls soccer seeking consistency By Bob Nuse Sports Editor
Whether the Princeton High girls’ soccer team is winning or losing, the message stays the same for head coach Val Rodriguez. The Little Tigers win and lose as a team. And chemistry and team bonding will always be at the forefront of the program. “We have had a big focus on that and they have kept together,” said Rodriguez, whose team fell to 2-3-1 on the season with a 4-3 loss to Lawrence on Tuesday. “The team chemistry and friendships that are formed along with the relationships are all so positive this year. Those are things
we are focused on daily.” The results have been up and down on the field so far this season. Princeton opened with a 2-1 victory over Manalapan before dropping back to back 2-1 decisions to Steinert and Notre Dame. A 3-0 triumph over West Windsor-Plainsboro South was followed by a scoreless tie against Robbinsville before the defeat to Lawrence. “We have been learning a lot,” Rodriguez said. “Colette Marciano has been on the bench and will be returning next week from an injury. We’ve missed her on the field. We are scoring goals from a variety of people, (Against Lawrence) Abaigeal Ryan had two goal
and Grace DiBianco had one. Devon (Lis) has been showing well and possessing the ball well and has several assists.” Ryan and DiBianco are both defenders for the Little Tigers. With Marciano out of the lineup, Princeton is still searching for some consistency on the offensive end. “We have to see how we are going to start to generate some goals,” Rodriguez said. “Camille Franklin is a new girl from Tennessee and she is doing well trying to fit in and make connections. I think Colette coming back will make a good impact as well. “It is still early in the season. Shayla (Marciano)
has been tremendous in goal for us, making saves and trying to keep us in games. We have nice security with her. We are in the mix ever game. They are all close. We’re coming along and the senior leadership is very apparent and strong.” Princeton’s three losses have all come by just one goal. So even though the Little Tigers have just two wins to show for their first six games, they’re not that far away from having four or five wins. “The season goes so fast,” Rodriguez said. “This is where we are at right now. It will be a gut check. They know they have it in them. My job is to pull it out of them.”

Local lawmaker receptive to DACA deal with Trump By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer
A member of the House of Representatives from Mercer County sounded receptive to Democratic leaders trying to reach a deal with President Donald Trump to protect some 800,000 illegal immigrants brought to the country when they were children. Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York and House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California emerged last week from a dinner with the president issuing a statement saying they had agreed “to enshrine the protections of (the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program) into law quickly” and also agreed on border security measures, but not on the border wall
that the President had campaigned on. Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-12, through her spokeswoman, credited Pelosi and Schumer for their “true leadership and efforts to find a bipartisan agreement and make a realistic effort for immigration reform.” “While there are no specific details that accompany said agreement she will reserve judgment until a bill hits the House floor,” said spokeswoman Kirsten Allen. “The Congresswoman definitely supports the DREAM Act and the takeaways that Leaders Schumer and Pelosi outlined: permanent solution to protect DREAMERs, an increased funding for border security (technology, personnel, etc.), but no funding for ill conceived border
wall.” The DREAM Act refers to a Congressional attempt to provide a path to citizenship for people who came to the country illegally as young people. A new version of that bill was introduced this year in the Senate by Schumer and Sens. Jeff Flake, R-Arizona, and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. Watson Coleman sought to show she is willing to cross the aisle and work with Republicans, even though she has criticized President Trump and skipped his inauguration. “Congresswoman Watson Coleman is clear that she will work with this President and House GOP to advance shared priorities like creating jobs, improving infrastructure and recovering from Harvey and Irma,” Allen said.

'Simpatico' at McCarter Theatre

ham! Sam Shepard’s "Simpatico" hits you right between the eyes from the getgo in this production at the McCarter's Berlind Theatre through Oct. 15. The actors, key production crew, and the director are here from Chicago, home of the city’s celebrated storefront ensemble A Red Orchid Theatre. As Artistic Director Emily Mann says in production notes, McCarter has showcased several outstanding groups over the years, especially ones that take leaps and expand art’s boundaries. Last year, Bedlam productions were an example, and the Elevator Repair Company before that. A Red Orchid, winner of a 2016 MacArthur Award for Creative & Effective Institutions, is an exciting addition to the list of notable companies. By all the evidence, it’s a great time to be in theater. A Red Orchid ensemble member Dado, an actress and visual artist, directed this high-energy production. A Red Orchid’s website states that “Dado enjoys finding scripts with cakes in them and then convincing A Red Orchid to produce them.” This is some kind of multilayered cake. The action opens with an outsized erector-set of girders for lighting, which bob and dip over the audience, colored beams flashing, rock music blasting, and a lone figure gyrating from a platform suspended above the stage. A jumble of fabric plummets from somewhere high above. Suddenly in the midst of the spacious stage, a gangplank drops down revealing a small set — a cramped single-room apartment, piled with castoff laundry, and two figures. What seems to be an intimate play on the page has taken on extra dimensions. Ironically, the very space around that set emphasizes how claustrophobic the space is, as if the characters are caged — both by the space and by their shared predicament. Shepard does not pander to audiences by making it easy to understand what that predicament is, or what motivates the characters to act as they do. We are plunged right in. Things evolve gradually, darkly, under great tension, as well as great humor. Vinnie (Guy Van Swearingen), a drunken mess, has let himself go, physically and emotionally. He’s gotten into a jam, possibly arrested, perhaps for harassing a woman while posing as an armed private detective. He’s been aroused by the sight of her through a window and wants to set things right. Here to pin down the problem is his erstwhile partner, Carter (Michael Shannon). Impeccably dressed, neat, confident, well off, Carter is impatient, scolding. It seems the two conspired in a horse racing scam some years ago. Blackmail was involved, and

scandalizing photographs. Now the two men have the goods on each other. By this time, Carter has gotten the better of Vinnie — he has run off with Vinnie’s wife, Rosie (Jennifer Engstrom). When Carter goes to check on the threatened woman, Cecilia (Mierka Girten), he finds Vinnie’s story isn’t quite straight. He’s been scammed. Action shifts from Vinnie’s dump in Cucamonga, California, to a more elegant home in Kentucky. Chandeliers descend from the ceiling and an empire couch appears center stage. Vinnie arrives and announces himself to Rosie’s servant, Kelly (Kristin E. Ellis). Trying to get back with Rosie, Vinnie presents a box with incriminating evidence he hopes she’ll take. It backfires as she collapses in hysteria. It’s clear the cheaply voluptuous Rosie, a boozy mess herself, has no use for either Carter or Vinnie. The last act shifts to a cluttered Kentucky office where Simms (John Judd) pores over thoroughbreds’ bloodlines. He’s the one who’s the subject of blackmail. On Carter’s orders, Cecilia is visiting Simms in hopes of buying from him the evidence Carter thinks he has, a box of photographs. But Cecilia, who has been promised a free ticket to
the Kentucky Derby, has to ward off Simms’ lewd advances. The schemes to undo the scheme inevitably run afoul, human nature being what it is. You’d think cons would be able to see through each other. This terrific ensemble cast is a joy to watch. The actors nail Shepard’s snappy dialogue and his intense, quirky characters. Moods shift like unstable weather. Despite the dark themes of corruption and lax morals, this play is broadly hilarious. Characters toy with each other and trade places in the struggle for domination. In one of the funniest scenes, the formerly unflappable Carter wrestles with a blanket, trying to cover himself. Later, he’s barely able to get into a pair of slacks, one leg at a time. With startling sets by Grant Sabin, lighting by Mike Durst, upbeat sound design by Joe Court and costumes by Christine Pascual, this is a perfect synergy of acting and production. Sam Shepard died earlier this year, and left us too soon. But his legacy is burnished in this totally engrossing production. Eat your cake and have it too.
"Simpatico" continues at the Berlind Theatre in the McCarter Theatre complex, 91 University Place, Princeton, through Oct.15. For tickets and more information go to www.mccarter.org or call 609-2582787.

2 TIMEOFF
September 22, 2017
MUSIC By Anthony Stoeckert
The Opera That Never Happened A new work combines theater and classical music to the story of ‘Shostakovich and The Black Monk’
T
he Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich spent decades of his life hoping to create an opera based on Anton Chekhov’s story “The Black Monk.” The opera was never realized and four decades after Shostakovich’s death, a collaboration of theater and classical music is telling the story of “The Black Monk” and the composer’s quest to adapt it. “Shostakovich and the Black Monk: A Russian Fantasy” features the Emerson String Quartet playing the composer’s String Quartet No. 14 in F-sharp Major, Op. 142 as actors share the story of Shostakovich’s operatic struggles. It will be performed at Richardson Auditorium on the Princeton University Campus, Sept. 28 in a presentation by Princeton University Concerts.
Philip Setzer, a violinist in the quartet, came up with the idea for the show. He had previously worked on another theater piece about Shostakovich, “The Noise of Time,” which used the composer’s Quartet No. 5 to tell his life story. That work was a collaboration between the Emerson String Quartet and the actor-director Simon McBurney. For “The Black Monk,” Setzer reached out to director James Glossman. Glossman and Setzer are friends, and Gossman has worked often with the actress Linda Setzer, Philip’s wife. Philip Setzer says he and Glossman had many conversations during which they talked about the story of Shostakovich and “The Black Monk,” and how to bring it to life. Glossman then began the writing process. “He wrote the script, which I think in a

The music-theater piece will be performed in Princeton, Sept. 28. fascinating way interweaves the two stories, Shostakovich’s story, his own real-life story, and the Chekhov and one reflects off the other,” Setzer says. “There’s a reason [Shostakovich] liked this story so much, it wasn‘t just that he thought it was a good story and would make a good opera; there was something in the Chekhov that he related to. And it’s a very strange story, it’s kind of bizarre.” In Chekov’s “The Black Monk,” an educated man named Kovrin spends time in the country in order to take a break from his busy life. He spends time in gardens, created by his former guardian, Yegor, who lives with his daughter, Tanya. Kovrin develops an appreciation for the gardens, then begins to have visions of a black monk who tells Kovrin he has the ability to use his genius to save mankind. Kovrin and Tanya marry, and Tanya finds her husband having what she believes
are imaginary conversations with a Black Monk who seems to appear magically to Kovrin. Tanya convinces her husband that the Black Monk isn’t real, but then Kovrin thinks he needed the Black Monk for his genius to grow. He becomes bitter, his marriage ends, his health deteriorates, and he has one last vision of the Black Monk before he dies. “When he was crazy, he was happy, he was full of love, he was full of ideas,” Glossman says. “And when they got him to be sane again, he became unpleasant, mean and selfish.” Glossman says Shostakovich’s interest in “The Black Monk” was an obsession, but he was never able to write it, because of Soviet censorship under Stalin. Shostakovich wrote one opera, “Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District,” which premiered in 1934. Two years later, a critique of the show appeared in Pravda. It was titled “Muddle InSee SHOSTAKOVICH, Page 4

They’re Still the One Orleans is bringing the hits to Atlantic City
W
hen 17-year-old Lance Hoppen joined Orleans in the fall of 1972, the band would rehearse in a tiny, one-car garage that Hoppen had rented with a roadie in Woodstock, New York. The band members — Lance’s older brother and keyboardist Larry Hoppen, guitarist John Hall and drummer Wells Kelly — would put mattresses up on the cement block walls on the inside of the garage to help with the acoustics, and possibly to placate the neighbors. One day, Hall brought a guitar riff into rehearsal, which caught the attention of Larry Hoppen, who suggested that Hall finish the song, which he did. Orleans started playing the song in its live performances. But after the band’s first two albums — “Orleans” in 1973 and “Orleans II” in 1974 — failed to produce any hit singles, ABC Records dropped Orleans from its label. So the band members needed to once again showcase their talents search of another record deal. That took them to Max’s Kansas City, a nightclub and restaurant on Park Avenue South in New York City, a gathering spot for musicians, poets and artists in the 1960s and 1970s. “It was a seven-night gig: Two shows a night and three on the weekend,” Lance Hoppen says. “If my memory is correct — because I’ve told it this way many times — it was the last show of the last night; we were totally fried and burned out and our voices were shot. And Chuck Plotkin caught the show.” Plotkin, then head of A&R for Asylum Records, liked what he heard, particularly two songs, “Let There Be Music” and “Dance With Me,” the song that resulted from the guitar riff that Hall had finished from the rehearsal in the garage. Asylum Records acquired the re-recording rights for “Let There Be Music” and “Dance With Me” and recut them. “Let There Be Music,” the title track from the band’s third album released in March 1975, broke onto the charts at No. 55 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles. But it was the follow-up single from the album, “Dance With Me,” that changed everything for the band. The record peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard singles chart. “It was atypical of everything we had been before that,” Hoppen says. “We were kind of a funky R&B rock bar band on the college circuit. Very much improvisational. That’s where we lived. But ‘Dance With Me’ was an anomaly that took hold and as a result, we went out on tour with Melissa Manchester as opposed to Foreigner. And we did that successfully. It definitely changed the direction of marketing the band.” Orleans’ next album, “Waking and Dreaming,” was released in 1976 and featured the hit single “Still the One,” written by Hall and his then-wife Johanna Hall, that got to No. 5 on the Billboard singles chart. “There was never any thought that this was going to change everything. Nobody even knew that ‘Still the One’ had the merit it had until it was out and did what it did,” Lance Hoppen says. “There was just no telling. We just recorded songs we liked and that Chuck liked. And Chuck
was a really good producer in that he wasn’t a player, he wasn’t a musician so much as he was a song guy and could feel things intuitively. So he guided us into creating those versions of those songs and they worked. We thought of ourselves as players who sang and Chuck thought of us as singers who played.” Over the next several years, the band began to splinter and had several personnel changes. Hall left in 1977 to pursue a solo career. Later, he got into politics and was elected to the House of Representatives, serving New York’s 19th congressional district, 2007 to 2011. Kelly left to join Steve Forbert’s Flying Squirrels in 1981, then hooked up with Meat Loaf’s Neverland Express in 1983. While on tour with Meat Loaf, Kelly was found dead after what was described as a night of too much partying. Today’s version of Orleans, which has been together since 2000, features Lance Hoppen on bass and younger brother Lane Hoppen on keyboards, as well as Hall, Charlie Morgan on drums and Dennis “Fly” Amaro, who had been with the band in the early 1980s. Larry Hoppen, who sang lead vocals on many of the Orleans hits, died in 2012. The band will play at Harrah’s in Atlantic City, Sept. 28. “From a historical perspective, we’ve always had two or three original guys at any given point and filled it out from there,” says Lance Hoppen, who recorded a solo album, “Conjuring” in 2016. “But you can also see that breaking up for no apparent reason in 1977 was a terrible idea, throwing away years of work and positioning that you can’t reclaim one you get off the line.” That Orleans continues today is a testament to the band’s determination and desire to produce great music and keep its legacy alive. “The fact that we messed it up that early on, we’ve all paid for that in one way or the other,” Hoppen says. “In not having more hits in the original format and losing the momentum at the time. Who knows what might have happened, but that’s what happened.” Lance Hoppen says that the death of his brother Larry in July 2012 created a huge space in the band. “Everyone had to rise to the occasion to fill that space, and we all did,” he says. “Not just me, but the other guys in the band. They each filled a part of that hole successfully. It’s not the same, you can’t replace Larry. But I think we still sound really good having divvied it up.” And Lance has no problem with the band being part of the “yacht rock” genre nowadays. “The travel can be a real drag, but the playing is always fun,” he says. “We have our better nights and some less better nights, but I don’t think we have any bad nights. There is all this warm and fuzzy stuff that goes along with these songs with our generation and that’s why we’re still able to work. It’s the soundtrack of a generation,” he said. Orleans will perform at Harrah’s in Atlantic City, Sept. 28, 8 p.m. For tickets and information, go to www.caesars.com/harrahs-ac.

MUSIC
Shostakovich Continued from Page 2 stead of Music” and blasted the opera as being bourgeois, vulgar, appalling and an insult to the Soviet Union and its people. “The next day, all signs of productions of the opera disappeared,” Glossman says. “Suddenly, it wasn’t allowed to be performed. Every theater was pulling its performance of it. There were a lot of reasons why this editorial might have happened.” After the review, Shostakovich lost commissions and feared for his career, even his life. He wrote music but never another opera. “An opera has a story, and a story can be satirical or it can comment on the government or it can comment on life, and that was simply seen as too dangerous,” Glossman says. “Shostakovich and the Black Monk” will feature Len Cariou as Shostakovich. Cariou originated the title role in Stephen Sondheim’s “Sweeney Todd” and is a regular on the CBS drama “Blue Bloods.” Jay O. Sanders will play Stalin. Also in the cast, playing multiple roles, are Ali Breneman, Alex Glossman, Evelyn McGee-Colbert, Paul Murphy and Linda Setzer. As part of the show, the Emerson String Quartet plays Shostakovich’s music. “We play the 14th quartet in its entirety but it’s not done as a concert,” Setzer says. “We play the first movement as the overture at the very beginning. The slow movement is done underneath as kind of accompaniment, or dialogue, with Irina Shostakovich’s monologue about her husband. It’s a beautiful part of the production.” He adds that it’s likely Shostakovich worked ideas from “The Black Monk” into his 14th quartet. “I think a lot of the music that was in his head for this opera that he wanted very much to write, telling this Chekhov story ‘The Black Monk,’ found its way into this quartet and also into the 15th,” Setzer says. “He ran out of time, he ran out of the physical wherewithal to write out a big work like an opera.” Glossman says the composer wanted to find ways to express himself, which is one reason he wanted to make an opera out of “The Black Monk.” But there was no chance of the opera being supported or performed because it would have been seen as criticism of Stalin’s Soviet Union.
“It’s a story about madness and sanity kind of paralleling, if you like, freedom and conformity,” he says. “It’s suddenly seen as a terribly dangerous story, after what just happened to Shostakovich, to make an opera out of.” He adds that Shostakovich was stopped whenever he tried to create anything that could be viewed as critical of the government. He regained some stature for the symphonies he wrote during World War II, but soon found himself in obscurity once gain. Stalin died in 1953. Shostakovich’s 13th symphony, which made its debut in Moscow in December of 1962, was set to poems by Yevgeny Yevtushenko about the Babi-Yar massacre during World War II. Khrushchev, now leading the Soviet Union, threatened to stop the performance. “The shadow of Stalin was still there, that whenever artists, poets, writers, composers, would start to get some running room and write in a freer way about real life, people would get sent to the Gulag,” Glossman says. “After the time under Khrushchev, then Brezhnev came in and it was Stalinism all over again and he was in power until Shostakovich died.” As the show begins, the Emerson String Quartet plays the overture from the 14th quartet. Cariou enters as Shostakovich on a stage above the quartet. “Shostakovich enters and is watching,” Glossman says. “He uses this music, interweaving the 14th, he starts to narrate to the audience, Chekhov’s ‘Black Monk’ — ‘Finally I can tell this story.’” Glossman says the story and music are complimented by large-screen projection which the characters of Shostakovich and Stalin use to call up images. The composer tries to tell the story of the Black Monk, but is thwarted by Stalin who interferes and brings the story back to Shostakovich. “It’s kind of a struggle between who’s going to win, Stalin or Shostakovich,” Glossman says. “Is Shostakovich going to finally, after he’s dead, tell the story he tried to tell for 40 years, or is Stalin going to win, and through what? Through jokes, through threats, through subversion? Is Stalin going to be able to prevent, even now, this artist from completing this art?” Setzer says the idea for these dramas based on Shostakovich’s quartets came
about from the Emerson String Quartet playing them often. Indeed, the group — which features Setzer and Eugene Drucker on violins, Lawrence Dutton on viola, and Paul Watkins on cello — has recorded all 15 of the composer’s quartets. “It came about originally from playing the quartets so much and feeling that the quartets were like these little plays, these dramas with four characters,” Setzer says. “Knowing how much he admired Chekhov and the way that he creates suspense in his quartets is very similar to what happens in Chekhov.” The work premiered in June at the Great Lakes Chamber Festival in Michigan and at Tanglewood in Massachusetts in July. Setzer says there are differences between this and a pure recital of the quartet. He adds that these music-theater pieces also influence the Emerson String Quartet’s music concerts. “There are certain places in the music that we now associate with the drama, ei-
ther Jim‘s writing or Chekhov’s writing, or both,” he says. “I could feel a difference, there was more awareness maybe of the drama. In a way, the creation of the drama came out of the music, and that also happened with ‘The Noise of Time.’ If it works, I think it works because of that, not because we’re trying to superimpose something on something that shouldn’t be superimposed that way, pulling it in the wrong direction or forcing it to be played in a less effective way musically. “If the drama comes out of the music, which is the way both of these things were conceived, I think you have a much better chance of making both the drama and the music work.“
“Shostakovich and The Black Monk” will be performed at Richardson Auditorium on the Princeton University Campus, Sept. 28., 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $40; princetonuniversityconcerts.org; 609-258-9220.

The new Peter B. Lewis Center for Arts consists of three buildings — the Wallace Dance Building and Theater, the New Music Building, and the Arts Tower. The Wallace consists of rehearsal space and theaters for dance and theater students; the New Music Building includes rooms for music students to study and practice; and the Arts Tower offers a gallery, studios and administrative offices. Connecting those structures is a ground-level area called the “Forum,” which is bordered by two theaters and a music room. Off it toward the back is a space named the CoLab, where Princeton University students from different disciplines can collaborate on projects. The CoLab is currently home to “Designing the Lewis Center for the Arts,” an exhibit of drawings, models and construction details by Steven Holl Architects, the firm that designed the center. After years of planning and construction that saw the old Dinky station converted to eateries, the construction of a new Dinky station, a new Wawa, a traffic circle, and $300 million — including a $101 million gift from the late Peter B. Lewis made in 2006 — the new Lewis Center for the Arts is open for business. “Mainly what it gives us is purpose-built spaces in which to rehearse,” said Michael Cadden, chair of the Lewis Center. “It is a place primarily devoted to rehearsal space for the performing arts, so it’s mostly dance studios, theater studios and music studios. We have some lovely performance spaces all around campus, [but] we didn’t really have the kinds of places to offer classes and to do rehearsals that you need to practice the arts that we practice.” Cadden adds that the new center sort of “marries” the music and theater and dance departments. He expects that will bring collaborations between student and faculty from different disciplines. “That’s going to bring about, I think, a lot of wonderful synergies,” he said. “As we quite literally pump into each other — a composer that I see, usually two times a year, last week I ran into four times — I think that’s going to have a very positive effect in the kind of offerings we come up with in the building, curricular and also offerings to the public. Things that will be exciting for people to come see and participate in.” The New Music Building (that’s the formal name, the donors who helped fund it don’t want their names on it) is home to Princeton University’s music department, which offers undergraduate and graduate programs, and certificates in musical performance and jazz studies. In addition, it also is home to the Princeton University Orchestra and the Princeton University Jazz Ensemble. The university offers certificate programs in theater and dance, with those certificates tied to a collaboration with a student’s major. For example, Steven Runk, Director of Communications for the Lewis Center, said that last year, a dance student who was a physics major created a thesis project in which dancers danced on pads that generated power to elements that were part of the performance. A certificate may not sound as impressive as a degree, but Runk says the education gained by Lewis Center students is the equivalent of a bachelor’s at other schools, if not more. The Lewis Center’s faculty is evidence of that. Jane Cox, director of the theater program, is an award-winning lighting designer whose credits include the recent staging of “Hamlet” starring Benedict Cumberbatch, and the recent Broadway musical, “Amelie.” Walls on the music building’s out-

Below, the Wallace Theatre at the new dance and theater building. side are made of Italian limestone from a quarry that has been in business for 2,000 years. Inside, the building has exposed ventilation, and wooden walls. Upstairs are 17 practice rooms, which are suspended from the ceiling. These are not technically sound proof because people walking through the hallway (also suspended) will be able to hear music as they walk by the rooms. But by being suspended, the rooms are isolated from each other, so students won’t hear music, or feel the vibrations, coming from neighboring rooms. When I asked if I was the first person to be scared at the concept of walking through a hallway or standing in a room that is suspended from a ceiling, Henry Valoris, production manager with the music department, assured me I wasn’t. I was even more scared later, when on the roof connecting the music and theater buildings, someone pointed to a view that gave a clear image of what a suspended room means. Each practice room has a piano, Steinway baby grand M models. The building also has 10 B model baby grands; a model O baby grand and a model D concert grand, which is located in a large rehearsal space off the Forum. The theater and dance department has four Boston grands. The pianos were made in Steinway’s New York factory. Buying a Steinway isn’t a simple process. Valoris said no two Steinways are the same, even two of the same model, because they are handmade. Faculty members made trips to the New York factory over the last few years to play pianos and test them for quality of sound and feel of the keyboards. Prices for Steinways range from $6,000 to $8,000 for upright models in the faculty to office to between $140,000 and $150,000 for the D, according to Valoris. Teaching studios are equipped with recording systems, so that students can record their lessons, or make an audition tape. Speakers allow the student and teacher to listen back to a performance as well. Teaching studios also have acoustic curtains which can cover the wall or not, affecting the room’s resonance. The music department will continue to use the practice rooms at the Woolworth Building as well. The theater and dance building contains rehearsal studios, including one whose floor is the size of the stage at McCarter’s Berlind stage, which hosts some student productions. Some have lighting and seating and could be used as a small performance space.
Another room is dedicated to lighting. Theaters in the building include the Wallace Theater, a black box space with flexible seating for up to 150, and the Hearst Dance Theater, which seats up to 120. Both have state-ofthe-art LED theatrical lighting. Features of these lights include being able to change the tints on the lighting without gels, as traditional lights use. Another goal of the new center is to bring more audiences to the programs the Lewis Center presents for the public. That will begin with A Festival for the Arts, which will offer more than 100 concerts, plays, dance performances, art exhibits, readings, workshops, film screenings and more, Oct. 5-8. The festival will open with the Princeton Poetry Festival, Oct. 5 beginning at noon at the Berlind. Poets from around the world will read their works. There also will be panel discussions. Douglas Gordon’s 1993 art installation “24 Hour Psycho” will be shown at the Hurley Gallery in the arts complex. The work consists entirely of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic movie slowed down to approximately two frames per second and exhibited as an object in space. As a result, a full viewing of the film lasts 24 hours. This installation marks the 24th anniversary of the artwork, which will be screened continuously for 24 days, beginning September 29 through October 22. A highlight of the festival will be the world premiere of “Gurls,” a play by Branden-Jacobs-Jenkins, of Princeton’s 2006 class, at the Wallace Theater. Commissioned by the theater program, the play is a riff on Euripides’ “The Bacchae.” The opening weekend performances are sold out. Standby lines will be formed 30 minutes prior to performances. The play also will have performances Oct. 1214. On Oct. 5, the Norwegian baroque ensemble Barokksolistene will perform two concerts, one at Richardson Auditorium, beginning at 6 p.m. and one at the Forum, beginning at 9:30 p.m. For the later show, the Forum will be transformed into a 17th-century English pub with beer and snacks. A new work featuring original music performed on electronic instruments conceived by Department of Music faculty member Jeff Snyder will be performed Oct. 6-7 by the Princeton Laptop Orchestra (PLOrk), the Princeton University Brass Ensemble, SÅ Percussion, the Edward T. Cone Ensemble-in-Residence at Princeton, and the Brooklyn-based TILT Brass ensemble. On the afternoon of Oct. 6, biographer and Princeton alumnus A. Scott Berg and author and editor Anne Margaret Daniel will discuss recent work in print and on screen showcasing the legacy of F. Scott Fitzgerald in the James M. Stewart ‘32 Theater at 185 Nassau St.. Berg is a consulting producer on the Amazon Prime series, “The Last Tycoon,” and Daniel is editor of the recently published edition of Fitzgerald’s “lost stories.” On Oct. 6, the Lewis Center’s Program in Dance will inaugurate the new Hearst Dance Theater with a performance of “A Love Supreme.” This evening-length work by internation-
ally acclaimed choreographers Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Salva Sanchis is set to music by John Coltrane and performed by the Belgium-based Rosas dance company. Performances of “A Love Supreme” continue Oct. 7-8. The Department of Music will present “Orpheus Unsung” in the Marie and Edward Matthews Acting Studio at 185 Nassau St., Oct. 6-7. This opera for electric guitar was composed by Steven Mackey, a Grammy winner and professor in the music department. Beginning on Friday night and continuing throughout the weekend, the Forum will be the site for Theater for One, created by Tony-winning designer Christine Jones and developed when she taught a Princeton Atelier course at the university. It pairs one professional actor and one audience member for the performance of a short play in an intimate booth. The series of original plays to be performed will include several created in a collaboration between Theater for One and students in a spring semester intermediate playwriting course. Princeton alumnus Noah Haidle, and McCarter’s artistic director Emily Mann have also written plays for the performance. On Friday at 8:30 p.m. the Lewis Center and the Department of Music will present “Declassified Memory Fragment,” Baker and Tarpaga Dance Project’s 2015 dance theater work with live music inspired by ideas and themes centered on memory, history, and images of political and cultural realities affecting the continent of Africa. Friday will also include a preview of the flexible, variable acoustics of the Lee Music Performance and Rehearsal Room in the New Music Building with an open rehearsal by the Princeton University Orchestra and an informal performance by the Program in Jazz’s Creative Large Ensemble, directed by Grammy-nominated Darcy James Argue. The busiest days of the festival will be Oct. 7 and 8. They will serve as an open house with a wide variety of events planned to activate all the spaces at the Lewis Arts complex and venues across the campus. For up-to-date listings of events at A Festival of Arts, go to LCAopening.princeton.edu. The offerings by the Lewis Center have always been extensive, but a new building near a renowned regional theater, restaurants and a new train station are sure to increase awareness of what the Lewis Center has to offer. “Most events are free and not only open to the public, but we’re dying for the public,” Cadden said. “The last thing we want is students making art where only your friends are in attendance.” He adds that the Lewis Center is spread across the Princeton campus, not only in the new buildings but through its continued presence at 185 Nassau St., and at New South Building, which is home to the creative writing program. “But I think [the new buildings are] going to help people identify what it is and what we’re doing and especially what we have that we’d like them to come see and participate in,” he says.

ARB opens season with ‘Women of Dance’
The work of Mary Barton will be celebrated by American Repertory Ballet, Sept. 22 and 23 at Rider University. American Repertory Ballet will open its 2017-18 season with a full evening of works celebrating 15 years of Mary Barton’s choreography by showcasing three of her most recognized works in a program title “Woman of Dance: Celebrating the Work of Mary Barton,” Sept. 22-23, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at Rider University’s Bart Luedeke Center Theater, 2083 Lawrenceville Road, Lawrenceville. “‘Woman of Dance: A Celebration of Mary Barton,’” is really a two-fold celebration — honoring her contribution over the last seven years as American Repertory Ballet’s Resident Choreographer as well as acknowledging her role as a choreographer to this organization for the past 15 years,” says Douglas Martin, ARB’s artistic director. “Mary is a very gifted and talented choreographer and her work is a testimonial to the strength of female choreographers in America today.” The program features “Scarlet Sonata,” a technically challenging work for five women; “Five Men and a Concerto,” a work for five men that highlights the male form, set to Vivaldi’s Concerto for Oboe; and “Straight Up with a Twist” (an ARB signature performance since its inception), a work set to the sounds of Kaila Flexer and Third Ear which showcases the versatility of ARB’s dancers and Barton’s choreographic genius. Barton received her dance training at The Washington School of Ballet under the direction of Mary Day and participated in summer courses at the School of American Ballet and Joffrey Ballet School. Her professional experience began when she performed with The Washington Ballet as a soloist in Balanchine’s Scotch Symphony and in the principal role in Tom Paczik’s “Tzigane.” Early professional credits include the Oldenburg Staat Ballet in Germany and several seasons with Dayton Ballet. In 1986, Ms. Barton joined the Joffrey Ballet/NY where she performed a variety of roles in the great ballets of the 20th century. Robert Joffrey created the role of Clara for her in the world premiere of his new Nutcracker. Ms. Barton was featured along with Gerald Arpino in an interview with Charlie Rose for the world premiere of Robert Joffrey’s Nutcracker. Barton’s TV credits include performances in “Dance in America” on PBS and she was an original cast member of the historic recreation of Nijinsky’s Le Sacre du printemps. From 19932004, Ms. Barton was a principal dancer with American Repertory Ballet where notable roles include Sugar Plum Fairy, Odette/Odile in “Swan Lake,” Juliet in “Romeo and Juliet,” Cinderella, Titania in “A Midsummer Night’s
Dream,” and Emily in “Our Town,” and leads in Balanchine’s Four Temperaments, Rubies, Concerto Barocco and Serenade. She has been on the faculty of the Princeton Ballet School since 1994 and is one of the primary teachers and choreographers for the Summer Intensive. She is a former ballet faculty member at Princeton University and current faculty at Rider University’s Music Theater Department. “Many dancers have danced multiple roles in the ballet,” says Martin, who is also Barton’s husband and former dance partner at the Joffrey Ballet and later ARB. “It’s been truly exciting to watch the piece evolve along with the company.” In October, American Repertory Ballet will present a new triple-bill program in New Brunswick. The performance features work by American Repertory Ballet’s Resident Choreographers Kirk Peterson and Barton: Peterson’s “Carmen” and “The Eyes that Gently Touch” and Barton’s “Straight Up with a Twist.” ARB will perform at State Theatre New Jersey in Downtown New Brunswick, Oct. 12, 8 p.m. This performance will feature live accompaniment by the Rutgers Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Kynan Johns. The program opens with Peterson’s “The Eyes that Gently Touch,” set to the driving rhythms of Philip Glass’ “Mad Rush,” culminating in a dance replete with romance and thrilling movement. Next is Barton’s “Straight Up with a Twist.’ The performance concludes with a company premiere: Peterson’s “Carmen.” Based on Georges Bizet’s opera, Peterson tells the tale of Carmen, a passionate, free-spirited woman, the fickle Don José and her love triangle between Don José and popular bullfighter Escamillo. ARB originally premiered The Eyes that Gently Touch in 1999 and most recently revived it in 2012. Peterson originally created Carmen for Cincinnati Ballet, and these October 2017 performances mark ARB’s premiere of the work. “The original creation of the Carmen Suite by Rodion Shchedrin, instigated by the great ballerina Maya Plisetskaya, was meant to be interpreted as dance,” Peterson explains. “I wished to explore different aspects of the Novella not previously highlighted. This Carmen is my response to this exciting score. “I had been inspired to choreograph it in 1970 upon first hearing the exciting Shchedrin/Bizet Suite. It took 28 years for me to bring my ideas to the stage in 1998 for Cincinnati Ballet. I was so thrilled when Douglas Martin asked me to revive my Carmen for ARB this season. I look forward to revisiting this piece and to be inspired by the ARB dancers for this reinterpretation.” For tickets more information on American Repertory Ballet and Princeton Ballet School, go to arballet.org or call 609-921-7758.

HEALTH MATTERS
Dr. Craig Gronczewski
Vascular emergencies and how to treat them
Your vascular system is a network of blood vessels, including arteries, veins and capillaries that carry blood to and from the heart. As indicated by the National Institutes of Health, problems of the vascular system are common and can be serious. And in some cases, they require emergency care. The Center for Emergency Care at University Medical Center of Princeton provides state-of-the-art emergency medicine for the treatment of patients who cannot wait to be seen by their regular doctor. The center routinely treats severe and life-threatening illnesses and injuries, including vascular-related conditions like stroke and heart attack.
Every part of your body Vascular diseases can affect nearly every part of your body. Arteries can become stiff and narrow due to plaque buildup, a condition known as atherosclerosis. Blood clots can clog vessels, block blood flow to the heart or brain or travel to your lungs or other parts of your body and weakened blood vessels can burst, causing bleeding in your body. The older you get the more likely you are to have vascular disease. Other risk factors include: • Family history of vascular or heart disease • Pregnancy • Illness or injury • Long periods of sitting or standing still • Any condition that affects the heart or blood ves-
sels, such as diabetes or high cholesterol • Smoking • Obesity
standing speech • Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes • Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination • Sudden severe headache with no known cause
Common diseases, severe consequences There are a wide range of vascular conditions that could lead to an emergency. Some of the most common are: Aneurysms are abnormal bulges in the wall of the blood vessel. They can form in any blood vessel, but they occur most commonly in the aorta (the main blood vessel running from your chest to your abdomen). Aneurysms can also occur in the brain and leg arteries. No matter where it is located, a ruptured aneurysm is an emergency. Consider that only about 1 in 5 people survive a ruptured abdominal aneurysm, according to the NIH. Brain aneurysms that rupture can lead to hemorrhagic stroke. Carotid artery disease. The carotid arteries are located on each side of your neck and carry blood from the heart to the head and brain. These arteries can be affected by atherosclerosis and over time can become blocked, decreasing blood flow to the brain. When a clot or a piece of plaque that breaks off from the carotid artery wall travels to the smaller arteries in brain, it can cause a stroke. Coronary artery disease is also caused by atherosclerosis. As atherosclerosis worsens, less blood reaches the heart, robbing it of the oxygen it
Dr. Craig Gronczewski needs to function properly. In severe cases, it causes a life-threatening heart attack. More than 1 million people have a heart attack each year, according to the NIH. Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot in the deep veins of the body — mainly the legs — that if left untreated can break off and travel to the lungs causing a potentially fatal pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary embolisms require emergency treatment. Red flags With most vascular emergencies, severe pain in your head, chest or abdomen, is a red flag that you should call 911 and get to the nearest emergency room. Symptoms of stroke: • Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg (especially on one side of the body) • Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or under-
Heart attack symptoms: • Chest pain or discomfort • Pain or discomfort in other areas of the upper body, including your shoulders, back, neck, jaw or stomach • Shortness of breath • Cold sweat, nausea, vomiting
Center, based on UMCP’s advanced capabilities for the rapid and effective treatment of stroke patients, as well as good outcomes. The Center for Emergency Care at UMCP sees 50,000 patients each year, including 8,000 children. The center offers a designated pediatric emergency area where pediatricians from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia are on site 24/7 to consult on emergency cases involving infants, children and adolescents. The center also offers a
senior care emergency unit designed especially for older adults. To find a physician with Princeton HealthCare System, go to www.princetonhcs.org or call 888-742-7496.
Craig A. Gronczewski, M.D., is board certified in emergency medicine and is the Chairman of the Department of Emergency Medicine at University Medical Center of Princeton.
Symptoms of pulmonary embolism: • Difficulty breathing • Chest pain • Heart palpitations or racing heartbeat • Coughing up blood • Sweating If you experience these symptoms call 911, and get to the nearest emergency room. State-of-the-art emergency care The Center for Emergency Care at UMCP provides emergency care for a wide range of vascular conditions. The center offers stateof-the art angioplasty that locates and opens blocked blood vessels and restores blood flow to the heart in the event of a heart attack and features a contemporary interventional procedures suite with operating rooms and cardiac catheterization and vascular laboratories.

Big day approaches for CentralJersey.com’s Wedding Expo By Jennifer Amato Staff Writer
For those who are always a bridesmaid, never a bride; who are becoming a bride for their first time; or who are always a bride, the 2017 CentralJersey.com Wedding Expo will provide access to all of the resources needed to plan the perfect wedding. Brides-to-be, grooms-to-be, mothers of either, members of the bridal party or anyone involved with the wedding planning are invited to gather information about invitations, deejays, flowers, honeymoons and more from noon to 4 p.m. Oct. 1 at MarketFair Mall, 3535 Route 1, Princeton.Many of the stores within MarketFair are slated to participate, as well as Mary Kay, Princeton Fit & Wellness, Wine & Design Princeton, New York Life, Hilton Garden Inn Hamilton, Hampton Inn Princeton, Chauncey Conference Center, Word Center Printing, Touch-
stone Crystal, Princeton Tuxedo, Encore Entertainment & Ultrax Disc Jockeys and Spectrum Limo.Bridal Suite Boutique will present a fashion show, with Xplosive Entertainment as the emcee and Into the Woods Music performing. “People are planning weddings all year long. Even though there are many weddings in fall, the planning doesn’t stop. We thought it was a great time to have the newly engaged or people who are just a few weeks out. The vendors we have at this event have items and services for people regardless of what stage you are in your wedding planning process,” said Angela Smith, director of marketing and events for Newspaper Media Group, the host company.The Wedding Expo follows a Health & Wellness Expo in February, a Home & More show in March and another Health & Wellness Expo planned for Oct. 22, all at MarketFair.
“We have partnered with MarketFair on some events earlier this year and we have been very happy with our relationship,” Smith said. “The idea of the wedding expo came up because we wanted to offer something different to our readers. Our company had just finished a wedding expo in our South Jersey market and we thought that doing something similar would be great for the Princeton area. We really liked the idea of giving the stores within the mall a chance to showcase how they can help in the wedding planning process without requiring them to leave their stores and go somewhere else for the day.” The added value is having a local newspaper chain coordinate events that serve its readership. “Our mission with our products is to serve our community,” Smith added. “We do that through the local journalism that we provide and with the local advertising our publi-
cations offer, but we also are unique in that we are able to bring our loyal readers together through a series of communityfocused events. Whether it is a wedding expo, a health event, a food event, or a kids focused event, we try to come up with events that engaged the community and offer them some type of value.” Registration and attendance are free. For tickets, go to nmg.ticketleap.com/bridal Everyone who pre-registers will be entered into a special VIP drawing that includes prizes to help with wedding preparation.

Q
. Where did you grow up? A. I am a New Jersey resident my whole life. Born in Red Bank and raised in Middletown, after college my wife and I moved to central New Jersey where we have been for almost 40 years.
Q
. What do you like most about living in this area? A. There is something for everyone in the greater Princeton area. Personally, I enjoy the outdoors (hiking, fishing, kayaking, biking, golfing). Mercer County’s commitment to the space devoted to parks, trails and waterways make for an exceptional quality of life people who enjoy outdoor activities.
Q
. What is your specialty in real estate? A. Several years ago I earned the SRES® (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) designation. Baby boomers like me often are dealing not only their own futures regarding planning for retirement and real estate needs, but that of
their parents and children. The SRES course provided me with all of the tools to help me help seniors who are not sure where to begin. While “aging in place” is preferred, there may come a time when it is no longer a choice. In many cases baby boomers have parents and children with special needs. I have an excellent network of professionals in place to help them make the best choices.
Q
. What separates you from your competition? A. My marketing communications background and skills enable me to better position and present my clients properties and help define where the prospective buyers will be coming from, thus maximizing how every marketing dollar is spent to target prospective buyers. On the buy side, I am very straight with my clients about the pros and cons of properties they are considering.
Q Q
. What did you do before real estate? A. I was Owner/President of a marketing communications company for 18 years.
. What is the most challenging/gratifying aspect of what you do? A. Helping people who need the most help. Firsttime home buyers and Seniors seem to have the most needs. First time home buyers have many questions every step of the way, and I am happy to lead them. Seniors often do not have a spouse or children living locally to help with a move, so you become family. Trust is a huge part of any transaction, especially when you are dealing with Seniors.
