Cochrane and district agree to new deal Agreement keeps superintendent in Princeton through June 2022 By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer
Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane, declaring himself “grateful” to lead the school system, re-upped with the district in a new contract through June 2022. The school board voted Tuesday 9-1 to approve the five-yeardeal retroactive to July 1, in which Cochrane will earn $196,584 annually and be able to earn additional pay pushing the deal in excess of $200,000. As part of their 9-1 vote, board members rescinded his original deal that was
due to expire next year. Cochrane, speaking afterward, said the contract represented an “affirmation of the continued direction for our school district.” In his time in Princeton, he has stressed the need for student “wellness,” brought in a positive psychology consultant and sought to support reforms — like designated homework-free weekends — both in the short and long terms. In his comments, Cochrane touched on a subject he has addressed before, namely a “redefinition of success” for students in a high-performing school system
where many of them say they are stressed out from their workload. That new meaning of success, he said, “incorporates high levels of achievement for all of our kids but also one that incorporates high levels of joy and purpose.” “I’m truly looking forward to the next five years to see what we can accomplish together,” he added. “I’m grateful and humble to be able to serve in this capacity.” With only board member Debbie Bronfeld voting against the pact, officials lauded Cochrane’s work in the district since he started in 2014 and looked for-
Cranbury to Congress: Don’t hold the SALT By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer
215-354-3146
Cranbury Township officials plan to oppose a plan in Washington to eliminate the deduction that taxpayers can take on their federal income taxes for their state and local taxes, a move critics said would amount to double taxation. “I think anyone that pays taxes will want to oppose it,” Deputy Mayor Susan Goetz said Monday. “I’m already paying taxes on my income to the state of New Jersey, on my property — (if) this passes, I’m going to have pay taxes on it twice, basically. So that’s how it affects everybody. They’ll be double taxed.” The township committee next month intends to vote on a resolution against the proposal, in a move that would see the town join other local officials around the country opposed to ending the State and Local Tax deduction. The elimination of SALT is part of tax reform being considered, in addition to eliminating the tax exemption on municipal bonds, but the plan has engendered opposition. “The proposal is, I think, particularly concerning to New Jersey and some other Northeast states, not the least of which is because it’s essentially double taxation,” said Mike Cerra, assistant executive director of the New Jersey State League of Municipalities, of possibly eliminating a deduction that dates to 1913. “We think that it’s an overreach. It would have an impact not only on our taxpayers, it would have an impact on local budgets.” New Jersey taxpayers are
among the biggest users of the SALT exemption in the country, data shows. For tax year 2014, 41 percent of all 1.8 million filers took it, according to the Tax Policy Center of the Urban Institute and Brookings Institution. Cerra predicted the issue would “unite the entire state,” and said his organization has contacted New Jersey’s Congressional delegation on the matter. U.S. Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, (D-12), who represents Cranbury and other towns in Central Jersey, opposes eliminating the SALT deduction, her office said this week. “New Jersey residents already pay the highest effective tax rate in the United States and by eliminating these deductions, [New Jersey] residents would pay an additional $3,500 per year in taxes, according to the Tax Policy Center,” said her spokeswoman Kirsten Allen on Tuesday. “The congresswoman understands that the current U.S. tax system needs reform but wants to make it clear that said reform can’t be on the backs of hard-working and low-income Americans. It must be a vehicle to level the playing field and encourage economic growth, development and job creation but also, fairness. So far, all tax proposals put forth by Republicans have been handouts to the wealthy and big businesses as exemplified by this proposal to eliminate the local and state tax deduction that thousands of middle income New Jerseyans enjoy.” Piscataway Mayor Brian C. Wahler, who sits on the advisory board of the United States Conference of Mayors, pointed to concerns about eliminating the tax-exemption of municipal bonds. He said such a move would have consequences for infrastructure projects, like road repairs and park improvements. “If you take that out of the equation,” he said, “basically you’re going to have all municipal, county and, to an extent, state construction projects just be shelved, because they’re not going to be able to sell the bonds at tax free.”
ward to the future with him continuing to lead the school system. “Steve Cochrane has showed himself to be a real leader in education,” board President Patrick Sullivan said. Recalling the search the board did in 2013 to find a replacement for then-Superintendent Judith A. Wilson, Sullivan said officials felt Cochrane stood out. “We were really impressed by Steve’s articulateness about education, about his vision for what he thought a public school could be,” he said. “In order to have a superintendent to get results, you need to have a superintendent who
understands the way that a school works. And Steve does.” Board member Justin Doran called Cochrane a “leader” and a “unifier” — “someone who has brought collaborative efforts to the board, to the district, to the teachers.” Cranbury representative Evelyn Spann, whose district sends its eighth-graders to Princeton High School, told Cochrane that officials in her district “appreciate what you do and in helping our students transition over.”

Middlesex County working to attract Amazon headquarters By Jennifer Amato Managing Editor
Middlesex County is pursuing efforts to bring Amazon’s East Coast headquarters to the region. Freeholder Director Ronald G. Rios said the county is coordinating with the New Brunswick Development Corporation (DEVCO), the State of New Jersey and municipal partners to respond to Amazon’s request for proposals to locate its second corporate headquarters, which would bring as many as 50,000 new full-time jobs to
the area. “Middlesex County has everything that Amazon is seeking, and we are working with our partners to put the strongest possible proposal together to bring Amazon to our community,” he said. “Why? This could mean 50,000 new, full-time jobs. It will boost the local and regional economies. It will raise the quality of life of all our residents and enhance our already strong business environment.” Because of its strategic location, New Brunswick is being prioritized, but the
county will also look at other municipalities as components of the overall proposal, county officials said. Rios said the county has partnered with DEVCO, using the company as the economic development arm that will take the lead in preparing the response. “Bringing Amazon here makes our entire region a winner,” Freeholder Kenneth Armwood, chair of the county’s Business Development and Education Committee, said in a prepared statement. “And Middlesex County will be at the center of it all.”
Armwood said the county has the top-notch educational facilities, including Middlesex County College; the Academy for Allied Health and Biomedical Sciences; the Middlesex County Academy for Science, Mathematics and Engineering Technology; and Rutgers University. The county also has the technological infrastructure, and access to major highways and mass transit that the proposal requires. “The county is within easy reach of an international airport and has the highly educated, diverse workforce Amazon
has listed as priorities in choosing a location,” Armwood said in the statement. The request for proposal for Phase 1 was available Sept. 7, according to county officials. According to the proposal request, Amazon prefers a metropolitan area with more than 1 million people; a stable, businessfriendly environment; a location that attracts and retains strong technical talent; and communities that “think big and creatively when considering locations and real estate options,” according to the statement.
“That describes Middlesex County in a nutshell,” Rios said. “I am excited by this opportunity to show what this county - what this region - has to offer. Amazon would do well by choosing Middlesex County for its East Coast headquarters.” Middlesex County officials said that the final site selection will be made in 2018, per the proposal. At this time, no costs associated with the county are expected, officials said.

STATE WE’RE IN
‘Head start’ for corn snakes The beautifully colored corn snake is endangered in New Jersey. It is a southern species, living at the northern limit of its range in the sandy pine forests of New Jersey’s Outer Coastal Plain, deep in the Pine Barrens. This gorgeous snake, also called the red rat snake, established a population in the Pine Barrens after the last ice age. As glacial ice retreated and the climate began warming about 12,000 years ago, the sea level was much lower than today. Delaware Bay and the sand beneath today’s Atlantic Ocean were dry land, exposed for miles offshore. Slowly but surely, southern plants and animals migrated north and east along these exposed sandy lands, which became coastal forests. Many Pine Barrens species arrived along a forested corridor that now lies well beneath the sea. As the sea rose, many species that can’t fly, tolerate salt water or blow in the wind became isolated in New Jersey’s ark of biodiversity, the Pine Barrens. The endangered corn snake is one such creature and its New Jersey population is completely cut off from southern populations. Corn snakes in New Jersey face many natural threats, including eastern kingsnakes, black racers, birds of prey, alien species like red foxes, recently-arrived species like coyotes, and native mammals from
gray foxes to raccoons to skunks to shrews. But corn snakes face two far more insidious threats, ones they did not learn and adapt to avoid: road traffic and poachers. Many Pine Barrens corn snake populations are located near busy roadways, and adults - including females with eggs - are often run over. Corn snakes are highly prized by the pet trade, and although they are bred in captivity, many collectors want unique wild specimens from habitats like the Pine Barrens. Illegal poaching is common. With permission from the New Jersey Endangered and Non-Game Species Program, two corn snake experts - Robert Zappalorti of Herpetological Associates and Howard Reinert from the College of New Jersey - have begun a “head start” program to boost the survival odds of newlyhatched corn snakes. Bob, Howard and other volunteers radio-track egglaying females, as well as scour forests for freshly laid eggs in nests in the sand. In some nest areas, they install predator-exclusion devices that female corn snakes utilize, laying large batches of eggs safely inside devices that predators cannot penetrate. Volunteers monitor nests and eggs, and when young snakes hatch they are tagged with tiny, permanent identifiers just below the skin. The first year of a corn
snake’s life is the most treacherous. They’re small and vulnerable, and their first winter hibernation is a real gauntlet for survival. In the “head start” program, half of the monitored newborn snakes are taken to the lab, where they don’t have to endure long hibernation without food in near freezing temperatures. Volunteers feed the young corn snakes, and by the time April showers roll around, the one-year-old babies look more like two-year old snakes. The “head start” corn snakes are released to their original nest site, where their smaller brothers and sisters have spent five to six months in cold hibernation just below the frost line, deep inside a rotted tree root or abandoned mammal den. Which group will fare best in the long run? Only time will tell. The “head start” program is now in its second year. By next spring, 40 head-started corn snakes will roam the woods. They probably won’t be seen again until they are adults, ready to breed. Hopefully, a few will reach adulthood in about four years, and some of the surviving females will return to nest in the same nursery areas where they hatched. If a significantly higher percentage of tagged, head-started individuals return, in comparison to tagged snakes that faced their first winter without
human assistance, we will know the “head start” program worked. You might wonder, “Why not let nature sort out which young snakes survive?” Unfortunately, the fate of New Jersey’s corn snakes, like many species, is no longer determined by “survival of the fittest.” Road traffic and poachers are wiping out nature’s fittest adults … the very snakes that should be breeding for many years! Hopefully the “head start” program will help save this incredibly beautiful animal. Hats off to intrepid conservationists like Robert Zappalorti and Howard Reinert, who devote their volunteer time and resources to innovative research on protecting endangered creatures on our public lands!

System helps PHS boys’ soccer keep rolling along By Bob Nuse Sports Editor
The Princeton High boys’ soccer program has a system in place. And it’s a system that has proven very successful under head coach Wayne Sutcliffe. It has been the Princeton system that allows the Little Tigers to graduate key members of the roster every year, but always have players ready to step into the openings and excel in expanded roles. “Soccer is a big deal in Princeton and we are fortunate to have good players who want to improve,” said Sutcliffe, whose team improved to 5-1-1 on the season with a 1-0 overtime victory over Nottingham on Tuesday. “It is not a hard sell on our end. It’s not always easy. A lot of it has to do with the way the teams conduct themselves at the JV and freshman levels and
how well Ward (Ingersoll) does with the JV guys and Wilson (Urias) the last two years with freshman team. We just like to have the guys feel a part of something in the early days.” And eventually those players get to the varsity level and contribute to a program that has won seven Mercer County titles under Sutcliffe, including sharing last year’s crown with Pennington. This year players like Jun Hasegawa and Jasper Scott have stepped in on defense and helped the Little Tigers continue their strong play in the back. In seven games this season Princeton has allowed just five goals. “Jun Hasagawa has done a fantastic job at outside back,” said Sutcliffe, whose team was scheduled to face Hightstown on Thursday. “I am very happy with his progress. And Jasper Scott is a center back and he is also doing well. Those are
key spots. Both of those players were on the team last year but they didn’t play much. Jun in first half of the season got on at outside mid. Jasper has been fantastic. We were just so deep last year it was hard for them to get on the field.” But in the Princeton system, both players knew if they continued to work on their game, their time would eventually come. “We knew a year ago,” Sutcliffe said. “It is always a one- to two-year plan with players. We knew they both were talented players. The plan was to keep developing them and working closely with them and help them improve. We put them in challenge spots in training and games in the preseason and let them get a taste of it.” On the offensive end, Dean Patel has moved into an expanded role and has become a player who can make a difference. On Tues-
day, Patel scored the winning goal in overtime against Nottingham. “Dean is not a new guy but he has a bigger role,” Sutcliffe said. “He is a very clever clinical player who we hope to keep making an impact. He can change a game. He plays for (club team) Princeton FC Tottenham and in our senior class we have 10 players on that club team. Dean is one of many who started as U8 and U9 players and they have been along the road the whole way. They have to seize the moment and make something out of it.” Princeton’s lone loss this season was a 3-0 setback against state power Westfield. The Little Tigers have
posted four shutouts and allowed just two goals in their other six games. “I am very happy with how we have played,” Sutcliffe said. “We had a good, positive preseason with a lot of energy and we played a lot of experienced teams. We saw some good competition and fared well. A lot of planning goes into the preseason and we have annual games against some of the top teams in Central Jersey and North Jersey.” Sutcliffe knows how tough the schedule in the Colonial Valley Conference can be every year so he wants his team ready to play right from the start. The Little Tigers are 5-0-1 in CVC play entering the clash with
Falcons soaring on soccer field: Christina Wang had the assist on a goal by Gennyka Liebenthal as the Monroe Township High School girls’ soccer team improved to 6-3 with a 1-0 victory over Old Bridge on Tuesday. Jennifer Horn made eight saves in goal to record the shutout. The Falcons have won four straight games, including a 3-2 decision over Lawrence last Saturday. Paige Gandy scored a pair of goals and Tayler Muce added a single goal in the victory over Lawrence. Photo by Roy DeBoer

Hightstown. “The margin between winning and losing is so narrow and the deeper you get into the season it gets even more narrow,” Sutcliffe said. “The parity in the CVC is really clear this year and anyone can knock off any other team. (West Windsor-Plainsboro) North is undefeated after a draw with Hightstown. And Hightstown has one loss and that was to St. Benedict’s. (WW-P ) South we played very confidently against. Notre Dame was the same thing as well as Robbinsville. Those are all good teams and you have to be ready to play every time.”

That Old-Time Jazz Direct from Brooklyn, The Bailsmen are performing at the Hopewell Theater
F
or the Bailsmen, music is all about the rhythm. The Brooklyn-based group plays Gypsy jazz and old-time swing music that is designed to get people moving. “It’s got a driving rhythm, it really pushes forward,” says Abe Pollack, the group’s bass player. “It’s music based on dancing, and based on having a great time. A lot of jazz that came out after the oldtime era, and after the traditional jazz and gypsy jazz, it moved from the dance hall to the concert hall.” Old-time jazz, he says, has a seediness in the tradition of Jelly Roll Morton and the New Orleans sound. “That’s what draws me to it,” Pollack says. “It has that rough-around-theedginess you also hear in punk rock and hip-hop nowadays. We still get that by playing this kind of jazz.” The group has a weekly gig in Brooklyn, playing the Belfry club every Wednesday and also can be found at the St. Maisy club regularly. The Bailsmen also tour and will bring their music to the recently opened Hopewell Theater, Oct. 5. In addition to the concert, the theater will offer food from local restaurants, as well as standard snack fare. The Bailsmen’s repertoire includes the music of legendary Gypsy jazz guitarist, Django Reinhardt, and also swing music of giants such as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Sydney Bechet. Pollack says the group uses the gypsy jazz formation, which consist of two guitars and a bass, while adding a saxophone. In 2014, the group released its first, self-titled album, and followed it up this year with a second release, “Le Mensch.” The Bailsmen play a mix of classic songs by their influences as well as originals. Some of their songs, particularly instrumentals, feel like they should be accompanied by credits to a Woody Allen movie. Pollack says he’s been listening to this music for most of his life.
“I grew up listening to blues records, old jazz,” he says. “I was big into John Coltrane and Louis Armstrong and a lot of the folk music traditions as well — bluegrass and folk music and some of the Preservation Hall jazz music.” Around 2012, he began to pursue this style of music seriously and around that time met up with the group’s other members. In 2015 and 2016, The Bailsmen spent residencies in New Orleans, a true home to their style of music. They rented a house and played in clubs, while also busking and performing at swing dances. “They were wonderful people and they opened their doors to us, showed us a good time and showed us the history and tradition of that city,” Pollack says. The Bailsmen are bringing jazz to Hopewell, Oct. 5. He adds that the trips also involved a lot of collaboration and sharing with other musicians. “I think with jazz, especially with this style and this tradition, there’s a lot of sharing that happens,” he says. “So when you meet a musician outside of your circle and outside of your comfort zone, there’s definitely a tendency to show them the ropes, and show them what you want to pass on to them. So for anybody that we met down there that was deeper into the New Orleans music than us, they were very happy to show us what they knew. “And we came from a place where we were a little bit more versed with gypsy jazz, the Django Reinhardt tradition of it. So we were happy to share that with them too. And of course we have that New Yorknorth east coast mentality about approaching life and approaching music. It’s a little bit more aggressive, a little bit more fastpaced, just the way that we live up here, so we had that to offer to them too.” The Bailsmen will perform at the Hopewell Theater, 5 S. Greenwood Ave., Hopewell, Oct. 5, 8 p.m. www.hopewelltheater.com; 609-466-1964.

uring a meeting with with songwriters Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, Atlantic Records President Jerry Greenberg was describing the four siblings in the all-female singing group Sister Sledge. It was right at the height of the disco-dance music era in 1978, and Greenberg was fascinated by the concept of “nice girls” being in the midst of the booming disco scene. Kathy Sledge and her sisters Debbie, Joni and Kim formed Sister Sledge, which had some minor success overseas with their first two albums for Atlantic, but had yet to attract a big U.S. audience. “As the story goes, Jerry was describing us to Bernard and Nile,” Kathy Sledge recalls. “He said, ‘These girls, they’re family. So there’s a good title for a song right there. And they flock together like birds of a feather when they come into the office.’ And while Jerry was giving his description of us, Nile and Bernard took out their pencils and starting writing everything down.” Rodgers and Edwards would write the song, “We Are Family,” which would be the title track of the third studio album by the group. And it would be the one that propelled Sister Sledge into superstardom.

I felt pretty positive about it.” “Lady Marmalade,” written by Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan, had a sexually suggestive chorus in French that translates into “Do you want to sleep with me tonight?” Patti LaBelle sang lead on the song. The single, recorded in late 1974, reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart. It also went to No. 1 in Canada and the Netherlands. “We had never recorded in New Orleans, and it was a culture change for us,” Dash says. “The musicians that made the ‘Nightbirds’ album were the sweetest people and they had the funkiest sound. Here we were, we took our respective selves to another climate and element of creativity. But there was something about that ‘Nightbirds’ album that just seemed to work.”

Rockit Live to Honor Drummer
s a young drummer working the New York club scene in the early to mid-1960s, Carmine Appice idolized jazz and big band drummers like Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa. It was at that time when Appice met another young drummer who he liked, Dino Danelli, then with a group called Ronnie Speeks and the Elrods, which was opening for Krupa at the Metropole Cafe in New York City. “Dino was doing a really cool groove. I was there watching and I eventually got to talk to him,” Appice recalls. “I said, ‘Man, that was a great beat you had. Can you write it out for me?’ And he said, yeah, and he wrote it out for me. He wasn’t a name yet and he was more into the club circuit at the time. And I was still underage.” Danelli would go on to become the drummer for the Young Rascals. Between 1966 and 1968, the group — eventually changing its name to the Rascals — reached the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart with nine singles, including three at No. 1: “Good Lovin’” in 1966, “Groovin’” in 1967 and “People Got to Be Free” in 1968. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. Appice also would break out of the club circuit and go on to be the drummer for Vanilla Fudge, known predominantly for extended rock arrangements of contemporary hits, most notably “You Keep Me Hangin’ On.” The band was a link from the 1960s psychedelic to what was to become heavy metal, and is cited as an influence on such bands as Deep Purple, Yes, Styx and Led Zeppelin. But Appice never forgot what Danelli did for him in that New York club. And five decades later, he has returned the favor to a group of young musicians at the Rockit Live Foundation, a nonprofit organization that helps develop, nurture and inspire those young performers to reach their full artistic potential through live music education offered at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank. Along with other notable artists like Steven Van Zandt of the E Street Band and Eddie Brigati of the Rascals, Appice has shared his experience and expertise with the Rockit Foundation over the past few years.
Drumming legend Carmine Appice will be the guest of honor at the Rockit Live Foundation’s annual gala, Oct. 8. And in recognition of those efforts, the foundation is honoring Appice at its second annual gala, Oct. 8 at Buona Sera Palazzo Banquet Hall in Ocean Township. The gala will feature live musical performances by Appice, the Rockit musicians and special guests. “When I was a kid playing drums, if I would have met one of my idols and be able to hang out with them and pick their brains, that would have been amazing,” said Appice. “I think that it’s very inspiring, if nothing else, to have these kids hang out with people who have made it and who can be their mentors, people who are icons in the music business.” According to Bruce Gallipani, founder and executive director of the Rockit Academy and a Brooklyn-based drummer himself, a close friend and supporter of the foundation, photographer Mark Weiss, made the initial introduction of Appice to the foundation. “It’s an introduction that I’ll always cherish,” Gallipani says. “Carmine was performing in the area on the same day that Rockit was to perform songs from 1969 and featuring, The Who’s ‘Tommy’ at the Count Basie Theatre. Carmine’s performance was in the late afternoon and ours was in the evening, so Mark asked if I’d like for him to reach out to Carmine about possibly joining the kids on stage. One thing led to another
and the next thing I know, Carmine invited the kids to rehearse with him in New York City. For the early part of the show, the kids performed the Cactus version of ‘Evil’ along with a drum wars segment with Carmine and Rockit student, Alex Silvergold. When Carmine realized that the Rockit kids were more than the average young musicians, he took them all under his wing. The rehearsal was very emotional to watch.” Gallipani says it’s an honor for the foundation musicians to be able to learn from Appice. “Just imagine Carmine Appice complimenting you. He’s the creator of hard rock drumming,“ Gallipani says. “He’s serious about his craft. I saw how sincere he was when working with the kids. Carmine has brought a special magic to Rockit.” Along with his work for Vanilla Fudge, Appice later joined Tim Bogert and formed the band Cactus, seen as an influence on
King X and Van Halen. In the mid-1970s, Appice then joined Grammy-winning guitar hero Jeff Beck to form the supergroup Beck, Bogert and Appice. And in 1976, Appice joined Rod Stewart’s touring band and co-wrote two of Stewart biggest hits, “Do You Think I’m Sexy” and “Young Turks.” Appice, who serves on the foundation’s advisory board, still performs with Vanilla Fudge and Cactus. He and his brother Vinny, also a drummer, have an album coming out in late October titled “Sinister.” Appice also authored a 2016 memoir called “Stick It! My Life of Sex, Drums & Rock ’n’ Roll.”
The Rockit Live Foundation will hold its 2017 gala at Buona Sera Palazzo Banquet Hall in Ocean Township, Oct. 8, 4 p.m. General admission dinner tickets cost $200. For tickets and information, go to www.rockitlive.com.

By Rich Fisher Special Writer Bidding farewell to the American Boychoir School was a sad moment, but saying hello to the Princeton Boychoir provides a happy new song that helps ease the pain considerably. When the ABS, which located in Hopewell and previously called Princeton its home, announced Aug. 15 that it was shutting down after 80 years due to enrollment and financial issues, a sudden void was left for young male voices in the area and beyond. That same evening, administrators at the Princeton Girlchoir immediately huddled to put a plan into action that had been on a slow burn up to that point. Since ABS only went through 8th grade, the Princeton Girlchoir had been contemplating a division for high school boys. Once the American Boychoir released its closure notification via email, Girlchoir Executive Director Hilary Butler promptly rounded up key personnel, and the Boychoir division of the Princeton Girlchoir was formed. It will include boys from grades 4 through 12 in two different divisions of after-school rehearsals. “I remember seeing the announcement that they were closing come through on my computer screen and the email popping up,” Butler said. “I immediately copied it to our board president [Barbara Burke DiCostanzo[ and president-elect [S. Tina Biswas]. We actually had a conversation that evening about what can we do. We knew we needed to move quickly because there was a lot of uncertainty in the community about what was going to happen and where these boys could go to sing.” They were also aware of the fact that Fred Meads, who worked part time with Girlchoir and full time for the ABS, would not be unemployed for long. “Being the phenomenal musician that he is, Fred was going to be snapped up by someone really quickly,” Butler said. “We knew if we wanted to keep him at the Girlchoir and get him for the boys, we had to jump on that as quickly as we could to be able to engage him and put plans in place for the future. We literally started planning that evening.” Meads was quickly hired full time and by early September everything became official except for the name — which will legally be Princeton Boychoir within the next few weeks. “I was completely surprised that they moved on this so quick,” Meads said. “I had thought, ‘OK what are we gonna do with all these boys looking for a place to sing?’ Somehow there has to be a Princeton boys choir come about. “It wasn’t until I spoke to Lynnel [Joy Jenkins, artistic director] and Hilary that I found out a Boychoir was in the plans before, and they moved up the schedule to [start it] a little sooner. I was completely thrilled with the opportunity. Number one, I cared about the boys and wanted to make sure there was some place for them to sing. And the fact we can expand this offering to boys everywhere; it’s great. I’m thrilled. I feel very fortu-
Fred Meads is the conductor of the new boy choirs at Princeton Girlchoir. nate.” Princeton Girlchoir feels the same way about having Meads and his vast experience. Prior to arriving in Princeton eight years ago, he was artistic director of the Fort Wayne Children’s Choir in Indiana, where he led the group on national and international tours. He earned his master’s in choral conducting from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He completed his Kodály training at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio, where he was a scholarship recipient. Meads was selected as a participant in master classes for Chorus America and the Toronto Children’s Chorus. He has been invited to conduct various honor choirs and all-state choirs in Georgia, Indiana, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Virginia, Nebraska and Ohio. Meads looks back fondly on his time as director of vocal studies at American Boychoir School which was a boarding school. “It was like entering a whole new world when I came to the school,” he said. “I had never been in a place where music was the focus of your life. These boys had rehearsals and classes. It was the intensity that was at first overwhelming to me and to the boys, but they gradually came around and it just becomes a natural part of their lives. “I had to adjust to a day that started at 8:30 and ended at 6 for every boy. It was long days, but it was part of their schooling. It was an intense experience but also completely gratifying; not only for me personally but for the boys too, to have this opportunity to really dig into what we’re doing. Whether it was learning music for a concert or getting ready to do orchestra work or just learning the latest music reading skills and getting better at those. I just feel blessed that I was part of that experience.” Meads will continue to work with Girlchoir ensembles, and will conduct both of the new choirs for boys, while also serving as the director of education. “I’ll be busier than I’ve ever been,” Meads said. “I’ve worked with both and loved working with the girls and loved working with the boys.” Princeton Boychoir held its first public auditions this past week. The first rehearsals will be Oct. 19 and Meads hopes the boys will be able to start performing in 2018. There could
be times when boys and girls collaborate on performances, but they will remain separate and distinct organizations. The Boychoir’s first level choir will include treble voices for grades 4 through 8 who will rehearse on Thursdays from 4:45 to 6:15 p.m.; and the advanced choir will be for grades 6 through 12 and will include changed voices and treble voices. “It’s very similar to the program that existed at ABS so it makes it even more comfortable to make this transition,” Meads said. There can be exceptions to the rule. “We have a rough idea on what the age groupings will be, but the placements are more by ability than by grade,” Butler said. “We’ll have some unchanged voices in the second group as well but that will be more of the advanced level of choirs. There will be some overlap in age and some overlap with unchanged voices in both groups. We’re definitely looking for more of an intermediate group that sings treble literature, and then an advanced group that will sing mixed voice literature.” Whereas the internationally acclaimed ABS was an actual school that ran all day with academic and musical classes, Princeton Boychoir will follow the girls’ model of being an after-school program. Butler feels that may help avoid the pitfalls that led to the failing enrollment at ABS, since it offers more flexibility for students who enjoy singing but cannot commit to it full time. “There are a lot of boys in our community who like to sing and the Boychoir School just wasn’t the right fit for them,” Butler said. “So rather than being part of a school, we will pull boys from throughout the community regardless of where they are attending. We’re seeing those boys coming out of the woodwork who are interested in what we’re going to do.” Princeton Boychoir is not able to offer the extended tours over the course of the school year that ABS students enjoyed. But, as Butler noted, “the flip side of that, is that we will be able to serve a number of boys coming from a lot of different places who are engaged in other activities and other priorities at their schools as well. “It’s a lower time commitment level to participate in the Princeton Boychoir than it was at the Boychoir School. Over the years, we’ve had
families of boys who would tell us ‘The American Boychoir School does amazing things but it’s not what we’re looking for. Is the Girlchoir going to do something similar?’ “We feel confident, given the interest that was shown even before we started the Boychoir, that this is a program we will be able to get the necessary buy-in and interest in participation. It’s a brand-new endeavor, it will take us a while to build those numbers, but we’ve been really excited about the amount of interest that’s been shown.” As an added bonus, Princeton Girlchoir will have the capability to handle the increased enrollment as a new headquarters is currently being outfitted for them at 231 Clarksville Road in Princeton Junction. Butler hopes the move from the current Nassau Street location takes place by Nov. 1. “The timing of this couldn’t be more perfect,” she said. “We’re perfectly situated for the Boychoir to come on board.” Butler praised the area schools as “doing a phenomenal job in laying a musical foundation for students,” and said that it was important to maintain the Boychoir to take things to the next level. “We’re able to spend a little more time and get more in-depth with some of the things that the boys are learning,” she said. “We are able to approach things sometimes from a little bit of a different angle. Having a twohour intensive rehearsal that is sometimes driving toward different sorts of performance experiences just creates a different sort of environment in that rehearsal. I would think one of the things that we are striving to do is to create and develop different performance experiences as well.” Meads, who has already received calls about the Boychoir touring next summer, says the short-term goal is simple. “Just to get a choir going,” he said. “I’ll take as many boys I can get, there is no limit. My concern is to create a level in terms of their abilities, their musicianship and their skills that we can then share with the public. We want to get these choirs rehearsing but also want them out there to perform.” As for the long-term goals, Butler said the obvious aim is to grow the Princeton Boychoir into a robust choir with good standing in the community. He added that the choir is equipped to do that with Meads and Jenkins on hand. But Hilary would like to see it go beyond that. “We want to continue the tradition that both ABS and Princeton Girlchoir have of really seeing these boys as people and helping them grow in confidence and leadership skills; and to develop into the kinds of men we want to have in our community as people, not just as musicians,” Butler said. “That’s a short- and long-term goal for us. To build the kind of program in an environment where it really fosters that type of development.”

NAMI to host ‘Harvest of Hope’ Hoops star Chamique Holdsclaw to speak during annual mental health conference NAMI Mercer will welcome women’s basketball champion, Chamique Holdsclaw, as the keynote speaker at its Harvest of Hope Wellness Conference, Oct. 7. Holdsclaw won three NCAA women’s basketball championships plaing for the University of Tennessee, coached by the legendary Pat Summitt. After finishing her college career, Holdsclaw joined the WNBA and was a sixtime all-star in the league. For all the challenging competition she faced on the basketball court, Holdsclaw’s toughest opponent has proven to be her own mental health condition. She grew up in the projects of New York City, raised first by young parents struggling with alcoholism, and then by her devoted grandmother. The documentary, “Mind Game,” details how Holdsclaw turned to basketball to cope with her anxieties and frustrations.
Unknown to many of her teammates over the years, Holdsclaw struggled with undiagnosed depression. Only once in her college career, at the urging of Summitt did Chamique speak with the team psychologist. Holdsclaw began her professional career with the Washington Mystics as the No. 1 draft pick. However, the next few years were rocky ones due to injuries, disappointing losses, undiagnosed mental health issues, and the sudden death of her grandmother. She finally sought psychiatric treatment. Like many others though, Holdsclaw went off her medication and soon found herself Chamique Holdsclaw will share her in the back of an ambulance, fol- story during NAMI’s “Harvest of lowing a suicide attempt.

at Harvest of Hope will take place Oct. 7, beginning at 9:45 a.m. in the meeting house of the Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville, 2688 Main St. (Route 206), Lawrenceville. This talk is open to the general public at no charge but reservations are required. Keynote tickets may be reserved by emailing home@namimercer.org. Those wishing to attend the day-long conference can register online at www.namimercer.org. Harvest of Hope is part of a weekend of wellness activities marking Mental Illness Awareness Week; additional information is available on NAMI Mercer’s website. NAMI Mercer, based in Lawrenceville, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and families affected by mental illness through education, mutual support, and advocacy.

Powerful, historic and dramatic McCarter Theatre is hosting play readings as part of the Princeton and Slavery Project
I got the chills one bitter cold night, Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2017, as I sat inside a warm room at McCarter Theatre Center. Attending a special mid-winter “cabaret” event, I listened to play readings by emerging and multi-award winning artists, one of whom was Emily Mann, the longtime artistic director and resident playwright of McCarter Theatre. The goose bumps surfaced when Mann read her play “Under the Liberty Trees,” set in the kitchen of Maclean House in July of 1766 when Princeton University was called The College of New Jersey. The short play with a powerful punch and long-lasting effect on me described the process of selling slaves, which were the possessions of the College President Samuel Finley, who, along with his wife, had just died. The sale notice stated: “Sale of all possessions of the Finley household. Furniture, cattle, books, 2 negro women, a negro man
its way into my psyche until “Under the Liberty Trees” got under my skin. Princeton residents are going to have the opportunity for the same transformative experience in the near future. Tickets to hear Emily Mann’s play at McCarter on Nov. 18 and 19 will be available in October. My reaction was exactly what Dr. Martha Sandweiss, a Princeton University history scholar and the project director of Princeton and the Slavery Project, was trying to achieve when she approached Mann two years ago about a collaboration between playwrights and the academics researching Princeton’s history and its connection to slavery. “From the start, we’ve wanted to bring our findings [about Princeton and slavery] to a broad public in ways that extend well beyond the conventional academic symposium. The historical records sometimes fall flat, remaining silent, when we so want to
newly commissioned plays were developed in response to research conducted by Sandweiss and Princeton University Archivist Daniel Linke, along with a team of doctoral history students and undergraduates. Playwrights had access to historical material, letters, and artifacts and collaborated directly with scholars. “I knew of Emily’s interest in race, human rights and American history, so I was optimistic that she would be responsive,” Sandweiss said. In addition to Emily Mann, the other renowned playwrights participating are: Nathan Alan Davis, Jackie Sibblies Drury, Dipika Guha, Brandon Jacobs-Jenkins, Kwame KweiArmah, and Regina Taylor. The public readings, directed by Carl Cofield and will be performed in McCarter’s Berlind Theatre. The public readings will anchor an academic symposium coinciding with the November 2017 national rollout of the Princeton and Slavery Project. “Princeton has a long history involving slaves, slave holders and free people of color, “said Mann, who is in her 28th season as McCarter’s artistic director. “The first Princeton University presidents were slaveholders, Princeton streets are named after slaveholders, and we have a statue of Princeton University President John Witherspoon, who was a slaveholder. “Discovering that slaves were sold under those trees, seeing the notice of the slave auction, seeing the bill of sale for the family that was sold jolted me into creating the script . . . It just came tearing out of me,” she said. Though other schools have researched their relationships to slavery, the Princeton and Slavery Project is distinctive in building community ties so as to explore the topic through more creative venues, Dr. Sandweiss said. The professor can footnote my goose bumps as evidence that her idea for a play writing/historical research collaboration is a brilliant and effective communications tool.

and 3 negro children. The negro women understand all kinds of housework, and the negro man is well fitted for the business of farming in all its branches. The slaves not sold beforehand will be auctioned off on August 19th at the President’s house in the shade of the Liberty Trees.” The Liberty Trees referred to the sycamore trees outside of the Maclean House, built in 1756 at 79 Nassau St., where the college’s first 10 presidents resided. The goose bumps returned last week, on a 90-degree day, when I read Mann’s play as I sat in the courtyard of the Maclean House that no longer houses presidents, but houses the staff of the Princeton University Alumni Council. Although I have walked past and walked into the Maclean House hundreds of times in my life, I never will walk by it again without getting those goose bumps, and thinking about slavery in Princeton. This topic, I am embarrassed to admit, never really burrowed
hear our characters’ voices,” Dr. Sandweiss said, noting that historians communicate by presenting facts that are footnoted. “Artists have different rules of their craft. Playwrights can use their imaginations and creativity without the constraints of annotations to get inside the heads of the individuals.” The historian/playwright collaboration leads to “a richer and more imaginative, but historically grounded, understanding of the past . . . My goal is to communicate the findings of the Princeton and Slavery Project research to a broad audience and in a way that I knew I would be unable to do. The historians and researchers unearthed the stories — the playwrights have brought these stories to life,” she said. Thanks to Sandweiss reaching out to Mann, McCarter has partnered with Princeton University by commissioning seven professional playwrights to write short (10-minute) plays to be presented with the 2017 launch of the Princeton and Slavery Project.

Increase your breast cancer awareness, talk to your doctor
With Breast Cancer Awareness Month approaching what better time is there than now to talk with your doctor about your risk for breast cancer and screening and early detection? Except for skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women. More than 300,000 will be diagnosed with the disease this year alone. Fortunately, when breast cancer is detected early it is often treatable. Today, as the American Cancer Society notes, there are more than 3.1 million breast cancer survivors in the United States thanks in large part to finding breast cancer early through screen-
ing and increased awareness, as well as better treatments. The University Medical Center of Princeton Breast Health Center offers sophisticated breast care technologies, including 3D mammography, for the detection and treatment of breast cancer. Know your risk factors Age and gender are the two biggest risk factors for developing breast cancer. While breast cancer can affect men, it is 100 times more common in women and the risk goes up with age. Other risk factors include: • Changes in breast cancer-related genes (BRCA1
or BRCA2) • Having your first menstrual period before age 12 • Never giving birth, or being older when your first child is born • Starting menopause after age 55 • Taking hormones to replace missing estrogen and progesterone in menopause for more than five years • A personal history of breast cancer, dense breasts or some other breast problem • A family history of breast cancer • Getting radiation therapy to the breast or chest • Being overweight, especially after menopause Signs and symptoms Most of the time there
Dr. Rachel P. Dultz are no symptoms with breast cancer. It is usually found in a mammogram or as a lump in the breast that isn’t painful. Other warning
signs may include: • Thickening in the breast • Redness, swelling, warmness or darkening of the breast • Puckering or an indentation in the skin visible when you lift your arm over your head • Pulling or tightening in the breast • Pain or tenderness not tied to your monthly cycle • Nipple tenderness, discharge or physical changes to the nipple such as inversion While other conditions can cause these symptoms, any change in your breast should be checked by your doctor.
Though the guidelines for screening mammograms may have changed in recent years, it remains clear that mammograms save lives. A mammogram is a low-dose radiation X-ray that is used to look inside the breast. Mammograms can detect cancers when they are very small and still confined to the breast. The UMCP Breast Health Center offers the latest in mammography technology — a procedure known as digital tomosynthesis. The procedure produces a 3D view of the breast by taking multiple X-rays of breast tissue slices. For many patients, especially those with dense breast tissue, 3D

Health Matters Continued from Page 5B mammography offers a clearer view of the breast compared with traditional 2D technology. Some studies have suggested that 3D mammography might lower the chance of being called back for follow-up testing, and may also be able to find more cancers. Decisions about when to start screening, the frequency of screening and when to end screening are unique to every woman and should be discussed regularly with your doctor. With an emphasis on shared decision-making, the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists this summer updated its recommendations for screening mammography. They recommend: • Woman at average risk
of breast cancer should be offered screening mammography at age 40. If they have not initiated screening in their 40s, they should begin screening by no later than age 50. The decision about the age to begin mammography screening should be made through a shared decision-making process. This discussion should include information about the potential risks and benefits. • Women at average risk of breast cancer should have screening mammography every one or two years based on an informed, shared decision-making process that includes a discussion about the benefits and harms of annual and biennial screening and incorporates patient values and preferences. • Women at average risk of breast cancer should con-
tinue screening mammography until at least 75 years. Beyond age 75, the decision to discontinue screening mammography should be based on a shared decision making process informed by the woman’s health status and longevity. Lower your risk When it comes to lowering your risk for breast cancer, there are some things that are simply beyond your control like age, gender and family history. However, there are certain steps you can take to lead a healthy lifestyle and reduce your risk, including: • Maintaining a healthy weight • Exercising regularly • Getting enough sleep • Limiting alcoholic drinks to no more than one per day
• Avoiding exposure to chemicals that cause cancer • Breastfeeding any children you have, if possible • If you are taking hormone replacement therapy, talking to your doctor about the risks and benefits For women with a family history of breast cancer or inherited changes in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, there are medicines, as well as preventive surgery, that could help reduce the risk for developing the disease. Center of excellence Since the first Breast Cancer Awareness month was celebrated in the 1980s, tremendous progress has been made in screening and treatment for breast cancer. New screening technology in addition to advanced surgical options and new medical and radiation treatments
have improved outcomes over the past several decades. Breast cancer can be treated successfully if it is detected early. Talking to your doctor is the first step. The National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), a program administered by the American College of Surgeons, awarded the threeyear full accreditation to the breast care services provided at UMCP and the UMCP Breast Health Center in East Windsor. The UMCP Breast Health Center has also been designated a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the
American College of Radiology, signifying that UMCP meets the highest standards of the radiology profession. For more information or to make an appointment, call 609-688-2700. To find a physician with Princeton HealthCare System, call 888-742-7496 or visit www.princetonhcs.org.

Princeton professors join labor task force
Princeton University professors Edward Felten and Alan Krueger will serve on a new task force aimed at transforming America’s labor market to a 21st century, skills-driven model. Formed by the Markle Foundation, the Rework America Task Force (Rework America) brings together a coalition of influential leaders with diverse backgrounds and experience. The goal is to develop policy on how to fix what many believe is America’s broken labor market. Across the country, 6 million-plus jobs are unfilled because employers cannot find skilled workers, yet millions of Americans with in-demand skills, or job seekers who are capable of obtaining those skills, are unemployed or underemployed. Rework America seeks comprehensive reform toward a skills-based labor market, which includes training workers over the course of their lives in the skills that employers need to compete in the 21st-century economy. The task force will seek to use the same digital technology that is disrupting the economy today to rewire the labor market; connect relevant stakeholders, trainers and educators; and bring new clarity and trans-
parency to the job-search process so workers develop in-demand skills. “Artificial intelligence and automation have tremendous potential to increase prosperity, save lives and address social problems,” said Felten, the Robert E. Kahn Professor of Computer Science and Public Affairs at Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. “At the same time, they will change the workplace and demand new skills and practices from workers. Rework America aims to map out a better future for workers, so that automation can benefit everyone.” Rework America will also highlight successful training programs and deploy new training experiments to create practical solutions that will transform America’s labor market from one based largely on traditional credentials, such as degrees and work history, to one rooted in the skills valued in the digital economy. “The nature of work is changing rapidly in the U.S. and around the world because of technological change and globalization,” said Krueger, the Bendheim Professor of Economics and Public Policy at the Woodrow Wilson School. “I am pleased to
participate in this effort and look for ways to prepare workers and improve skills training for the job market of the future.” Felten, who serves as director of Princeton’s Center for Information Technology Policy, studies the intersection of public policy and information technology. His specific topics include software security, internet security, electronic voting, cybersecurity policy, technology for government transparency, network neutrality and internet policy. He served as deputy U.S. chief technology officer at the White House during the Obama administration from May 2015 to January 2017. He previously served as chief technologist at the Federal Trade Commission from January 2011 to August 2012. Krueger is the founding director of Princeton’s Survey Research Center. His primary research and teaching interests are in the general areas of labor economics, education, industrial relations, economics of terrorism and social insurance. He was confirmed by the U.S. Senate as chairman of President Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers in November 2011. Previously, Krueger served as assistant secretary for
economic policy and chief economist of the U.S. Department of the Treasury from 2009 to 2010 and, from 1994 to 1995, as chief economist at the U.S. Department of Labor. Rework America is chaired by Denis McDonough, former White House chief of staff to President Barack Obama, and includes members from some of the world’s leading organizations and institutions — including Siemens USA, Microsoft, IBM, Hearsay Systems, the Walmart Foundation and Coursera. The Markle Foundation Advisory Board will work closely with Rework America, providing counsel and feedback. The Rework America task force will consist of small groups, drawing on each member’s expertise. The task force will deliver its recommendations to key stakeholders and create a path from idea to feedback, to policy and action. The Rework America Task Force is supported, to date, by the Carnegie Corporation, the Markle Foundation, Microsoft Philanthropies, the Pritzker Traubert Family Foundation, and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

Growing Families are Snapping Up Single-Family Homes at K. Hovnanian’s® Tanglewood Estates at Chapel Hill Estate-Style Homes Feature Four or Five Bedrooms in Charming Middletown Township Neighborhood
With a limited collection of just 20 estate-style homes conveniently located in the desirable Chapel Hill section of Middletown Township, buyers from throughout New Jersey and New York are homing in on K. Hovnanian’s® Tanglewood Estates at Chapel Hill. The community has been a popular choice for expanding families, in particular, who are attracted to its diverse floor-plan line-up that includes four and five bedrooms, two- and three-car garages, and up to 4,666 square feet of open living space. Pricing starts from the upper $700s (subject to change) for the upscale homes which are situated on spacious home sites, many of which can accommodate swimming pools. With closings underway and quick-delivery homes available, Tanglewood Estates is rapidly transforming into a picturesque residential enclave. “We carefully selected this Monmouth County location for its familyfriendly attributes and designed a portfolio of upscale homes that would complement the area while meeting the demand for expansive living spaces,” said Jay McDermott, Northern NJ/NY Area President at K. Hovnanian® Homes. “The intimate atmosphere inherent in a community of just 20 homes has also resonated with buyers who are looking for a genuine neighborhood setting.” Four distinctive designs are available at Tanglewood Estates. Buyers can tour the community’s furnished Boulder II model home to experience the beautiful interior spaces and endless decorating possibilities first hand. Spread throughout the home’s 3,818 squarefoot design are four bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, a two-story great room, gourmet kitchen with casual dining area, formal dining room, home office, living room, and a spacious owner’s suite with dual walk-in closets and a luxurious bath. All homes at K. Hovnanian’s® Tanglewood Estates at Chapel Hill offer deluxe interior spaces with distinctive features and finishes, including hardwood floors, elegant entry foyers, staircases with finely crafted solid oak railing and treads, fireplaces with mantels and slate surrounds, and designer light fixtures. Gourmet kitchens boast granite countertops, GE® stainless steel appliances and a choice of either hardwood flooring or ceramic tiles. Luxurious baths are also well-appointed, with Moen® chrome faucets, granite vanity tops with drop-in sink, ceramic tile walls in tub and shower area, ceramic tile flooring, and beautifully-crafted cabinetry with choice of finishes. The Chapel Hill section of Middletown Township is widely regarded for its winding country roads, forested properties and horse farms. It is ideally situated for commuters, with ferry terminals, a train station and entrances to Route 35, Route 36 and the Garden State Parkway all just a few miles away. The NJ Transit Middletown train station is less than two miles away, offering direct service to Manhattan on the North Jersey Coast line. The NY Waterway Belford Ferry in the Belford section of Middletown whisks commuters to midtown Manhattan, the World Financial Center, Wall Street, and Jersey City. Seastreak also provides ferry service to Manhattan, Jersey City and Hoboken from its terminal in the neighboring town of Atlantic Highlands, as well as service to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. Families at K. Hovnanian’s® Tanglewood Estates at Chapel Hill will appreciate being a part of the Middletown School District and its proximity to numerous shopping, dining and recreational destinations nearby. The celebrated shops, cafes, restaurants, entertainment venues and waterfront parks of Red Bank are just a five mile drive away. The popular beaches
of Sandy Hook, Sea Bright and Long Branch are all about a ten mile drive away. Outdoor enthusiasts will also appreciate being just five miles from Thompson Park which offers hiking, biking, athletic fields, a dog park, free summer concerts and more. It is one of more than 35 parks located in Middletown. Golf and boating are both popular local pastimes, and a number of excellent courses and marinas are nearby. Middletown was recently ranked the ninth safest town in the United States to raise a family, according to the home security and data analysis website Safewise.com. “This Jersey township is nestled along the Sandy Hook Bay and has a plethora of beaches that provide prime fishing opportunities, despite the city’s proximity to New York City. Middletown Township’s calendar is packed with family activities like community fossil hunts, movies in the park, and mother-daughter afternoon teas,” Safewise.com wrote in its June 26th article The 30 Safest Cities to Raise a Child – 2017.
