Officials outline impact of affordable housing settlement By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
As many as 3,000 new housing units - including 653 rental apartments, set aside for low- and moderate-income households - are on the horizon for Hopewell Township between now and 2025, thanks to the settlement of a lawsuit over affordable housing. Just how those new units may impact Hopewell Township - and how the township arrived at those numbers - was outlined before about three dozen Hopewell Valley residents at a special public in-
formation meeting last week. The residents quizzed Township Administrator Paul Pogorzelski, planner Philip Caton and attorney Michael Herbert on an array of questions that ranged from the impact of the new development on the schools and property taxes, to who will pay for new fire engines and Public Works Department equipment and how soon the new developments will be built. To put things in perspective, Pogozelski told the attendees that although the township is obligated
to provide 653 units for very low, low- and moderate income households, it does not mean that all of those units - to include the market rate units - would ever be built. Hopewell Township is obligated to provide an opportunity for the market rate and affordable housing units to be built, but it is up to the developer to build them, Pogorzelski said. The developer assumes all of the risk. The real estate market determines what is built - including the number of units - and when it is
built, he said. Developers will not build what they cannot sell. He pointed to the Brandon Farms development, in which it took 15 years to sell 1,000 market and affordable housing units. Also, there are hurdles that a developer must clear before putting a shovel in the ground - beginning with the Hopewell Township Planning Board’s approval of an application, Pogorzelski said. An applicant will need approval from other agencies, too. Pogorzelski said he did not
think all of the development will occur in the next 10 years. But when development does take place, each developer is responsible for paying for the cost of bringing road, sewer and water infrastructure to their sites - not the taxpayers. Also, the law does not allow the township to require a developer to build a firehouse or pay for a new fire engine, new Public Works Department equipment, new textbooks or additional staff for the public schools, added HerSee SETTLEMENT, Page 5A
Former senator Bill Bradley endorses Phil Murphy for governor By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer
215-354-3146
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Phil Murphy stopped in Princeton last week 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 or policy ideas 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 been an outlier in the under-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. “He’s running strong, and I don’t think he’s taking anything for granted,� said Mayor Liz Lempert, who attended the event. “Even though he’s ahead in the polls, I don’t think he’s being complacent about it.� A strong showing by Murphy could impact the outcome of down-ballot races, like in the 16th legislative district, a once tradiSee BRADLEY, Page 3A

Arts council to host pumpkin carve By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
From pumpkin carving exhibits to a paint-a-pumpkin craft tent and evening story-telling events around a fire pit - complete with s’mores and cider - there will be something for everyone at the Hopewell Valley Arts Council’s third annual Amazing Pumpkin Carve. The event begins Oct. 11 and runs through Oct. 15 at Woolsey Park (formerly Alliger Park) at 221 Washington Crossing-Pen-
nington Road in the Titusville section of Hopewell Township. “The Amazing Pumpkin Carve is a wonderful opportunity for the Hopewell Valley Arts Council to showcase the creativity and talent of our local artists and to celebrate with our families and our community,� said Carol Lipson, president of the arts council’s board of trustees. “This years’ ‘Carve’ really is a community-wide celebration,� Lipson said. This year, the arts council has
joined hands with Hopewell Valley’s professional and volunteer firefighters to present Fire Safety Day and with the Hopewell Valley Historic Preservation Committee to rededicate Woolsey Park. But the highlight of the ‘Carve’ is the display of 50 giant pumpkins, carved by 50 of the area’s best artists, in the pumpkin-viewing tent. Admission to the tent is $10 for adults, $5 for ages 11 to 18, and free for those under 10 years old.

Eighty nine percent of women who develop breast cancer do not have a first-degree relative who had it. Genes are an important but relatively small part of the breast cancer story.

Join Charlie Erica Fall and learn about healthy dietary habits, daily activities, standard of care options, as well as emerging technologies that can be a welcome addition to your breast care toolkit. Charlie will lead a discussion on steps you can take that can help remove the fear from breast care. Sunday, October 1 at 3 p.m. Charlie Erica Fall is a Certified Thermography Manager. Thermography is an early risk-assessment tool, a non-invasive imaging technology that may help women detect breast abnormalities at an earlier stage. It is radiation free and no compression is involved.

Roy Freiman, a Democrat running for state Assembly in the 16th, attended the Murphy-Bradley event, and touched on the effect the governor’s race could have on his contest. “It’s important that Phil does well, because I want a good governor,” he said. “The more he excites people to bring out the vote, certainly, in all likelihood that will help down ballot and there will be coattails coming down as well. But we
have to be appealing, regardless, to our voters.” For her part, Guadagno argues that Murphy would tax the state into being “uncompetitive,” and hurt the economy. “If you liked Jon Corzine than you will love Phil Murphy. Murphy has already pledged $1.3 billion in higher taxes and that’s just the start,” said Guadagno campaign spokesman Ricky Diaz. “His agenda would make New Jersey the most anti-jobs state in the country and make us uncompetitive for projects like Amazon’s new headquarters.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Candidate explains commitment to environment To the editor: All of us in Hopewell Township love the fact that there is so much farmland and open space in our community. Protecting our rural environment does not happen by accident. It is the result of hard work by local farmers and dedicated volunteers throughout Hopewell Valley, and appropriate land use planning by the township committee. As I am a candidate for Hopewell Township Committee along with Mayor Kevin Kuchinski, I wanted to share my experience in promoting the rural nature of our township. After Tracy Vogler and I were married in the small church next to the Harbourton Cemetery in 1992, we knew we would want to return to the community where she was raised. We had that opportunity in 1998 when we moved into the house where Tracy grew up. Tracy’s parents, Ed and June, moved to Hopewell Township in 1968 with the plan to start a farm. Ed also bought a plot of land at the northwest corner of Route 31 and Marshall‘s Corner-Woodsville Road, intending to open a nursery some day. Unfortunately, that day did not come, as Ed died in 1990. In the following years, June divided her farm into three parcels of land and sold one. When Tracy and I moved to Hopewell Township, we had a choice. We could sell another parcel of land, or we could continue to farm. We decided to keep the fields growing. As for the land on Route 31, after considering other uses ultimately June and Tracy sold the land to the township, and it is now permanently protected as open space. A sign stands on the land today honoring Tracy’s father. As for the parcel of land sold by Tracy’s mother, Tracy later bought it back and we continue to farm it today. The democrats on the Hopewell Township Committee have a strong record of protecting our environment through actions such as expanding the township’s open space and preserved farmland programs and fighting against the PennEast pipeline. Kevin and I promise to continue this important work. Please vote for Kevin Kuchinski and Michael Ruger on November 7. For more information about our campaign, visit our Facebook page at Kuchinski and Ruger for Hopewell Township.
Michael Ruger Hopewell Township
Nicolao introduces his candidacy To the editor: My name is Luis Nicolao, and I am running for Hopewell Township Committee as a Republican candidate. I have had the privilege of living in Hopewell for 19 years, and my wife Kellie and I can still remember taking our daughters - both of whom are in college now - to their first days of elementary school at Stony Brook. I am a 1992 graduate of the United States Naval Academy and served eight years in the military. During my time in the military, I was a surface warfare officer, and I had the honor of serving in the Persian Gulf war. After my honorable discharge from the Navy, I became the head coach of men’s and women’s water polo at Princeton University, where I am still currently coaching. I have always been vocal about our local government and how it affects our community. Now that my daughters are in college, I realize I now have the time and the ability to be more than just vocal, but be actively part of the solution. Our community is facing many issues, including the PennEast pipeline, suitable locations for state mandated affordable housing, and getting our long overdue Senior Center built. These issues need to be carefully planned, as they will have a lasting impact on our taxes and traffic congestion. I, as many of you, have seen our property taxes increase to a point that residents are either leaving or plan to leave. During the past few years, I have read about proposed budget promises, and those promises have not been kept. I no longer can take these empty promises. We need people who can act and deliver on their word. I am running with my good friend and neighbor, Phil Volpe, Mr. Cream King. The two of us ask for your vote so we can help make Hopewell affordable for all residents. I loved having the opportunity to serve my country, and now asking for your vote to serve in a different capacity, as a Hopewell Township committee member.
Luis Nicolao Hopewell
Volpe introduces candidacy To the editor:
Hopewell Township Committee. My wife, Laurie, our three daughters and I have resided here since the development’s beginning in 1993. We were living in Hamilton Square and Laurie was working as a part-time School Counselor at Toll Gate when she came home and announced to me and our daughters, “I know where we are going to live! We are going to move to the wonderful Hopewell Valley!” Laurie had just accepted a full-time position at Bear Tavern and she was absolutely certain that Hopewell Township was where she wanted to raise our family. Our family is a big believer in giving back and we have done so from the moment we decided to become residents of this vibrant, bucolic and diverse township. I have served 17 years on the board of the YMCA, six years as president; I have coached my share of soccer and basketball teams and logged many nights in the Quarry Field snack bar; taught CCD at St. James; worked on behalf of our senior citizens; served on the Recreation Foundation; and now after very careful consideration and 20 plus years of community service, I believe it is time to serve in another capacity, as a hard working member of the Township Committee. I should mention that I am also the guy who bought Cream King 16 years ago. As someone who has worked in sales and sales management in the electronic industry,” Cream King serves my creative entrepreneurial side and enables me to think outside of the “corporate box”. Our Cream King experience as a family has been nothing short of amazing! What a great way to get to know your community, help your kids learn about hard work and sweat equity along with 50+ other fantastic and impressive youth of the Hopewell Valley. In the spirit of giving back, and being thankful for the generosity of our local community, we began the tradition of Cream King Mondays and have been fortunate to have donated over $40,000 to local charities that we and our employees care deeply about. Why run for Township Committee now in 2017? I believe we have an affordable housing problem in the Hopewell Valley. I am not talking about the court mandated affordable housing. I am talking about the fact that many people who love Hopewell Township the way we do are moving out because they can no longer afford to live here. I am running because I believe the Hopewell Township needs a strong advocate for their senior citizens. I am running to keep costs down and to be honest with local citizens because I am tired of the “statistical spin” which leads you to believe the municipal budget is rising only one percent when in fact it is rising over five percent. I am running because I am a fiscal conservative. I understand the township’s affordable housing unit obligation. However, the proposal of an additional 3,000 homes, 90 percent of which are in the southern tier, changes the character of Hopewell Township forever; places unforeseen tax burdens on all of its citizens; and ensures the exodus of many who have contributed to the unique fabric that has made Hopewell Township great. There are plenty of reasons to want to serve your local community. It is time for a new perspective, one that leans towards conservative fiscal principles and understands the financial burdens of our residents and the local small business sector. It is time for all of us to get involved. Please support me and my running mate, Luis Nicholao, to bring commonsense leadership back to the Hopewell Valley.
Phil Volpe Hopewell Township
Ruger is the financially solid choice To the editor:
I am writing in support of Michael Ruger’s candidacy for Hopewell Township Committee. I have served with Michael on the Finance Advisory Committee where he has championed reduced township spending, doing more with less and cutting debt levels to reduce ongoing interest costs. The 2017 township budget remains below 2015 spending levels, even as we rebuild the Public Works fleet, restore Bulky Waste Pick-up and accelerate road repaving and repairs. Along with Mayor Kevin Kuchinski, Michael has helped cut the annual municipal tax increase in Hopewell Township from +6.3 percent per year in 2013-15 when Mr. Lester and his Republican colleagues were in-charge to 1.1 percent. This is well below the rate of inflation, and Hopewell Township once again has the lowest equalized tax rate in Mercer County. Michael has also been a strong proponent of open space and preserved farmland, helping protect our water and the environment. And, he and his family have been strong voices in the fight against the proposed PennEast pipeline. Please join me in fighting to keep Hopewell Township green and affordable. On November 7, please vote for both Michael Ruger and Kevin Kuchinski for Hopewell Township Committee.

Pumpkin Continued from Page 1A
The carved pumpkins will be auctioned off on Oct. 15, giving bidders a chance to own a one-of-a-kind temporary work of art. It is, after all, a carved pumpkin. Also on display will be fall-themed photos taken by amateur and professional photographers, which the Hopewell Valley Arts Council hopes will become an annual event. Activities and special events include evening story-telling around a fire pit, a “guess-the weight” giant pumpkin contest, a
paint-a-pumpkin craft tent and a Hopewell Township history kiosk. A dedication ceremony for the renaming of Alliger Park to Woolsey Park is set for 9 a.m. Oct. 14, followed by a salute to Hopewell Valley’s emergency responders - police, firefighters and emergency medical technicians. The third annual Fire Safety Open House is set for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., also on Oct. 14., and will feature fire trucks, safety demonstrations, a K-9 dog from the Trenton Police Department and a fire/arson K-9
dog from the state Department of Community Affairs’ Fire Safety Office. The New Jersey State Police will stage a helicopter landing, and the firefighters will offer a walk-through fire safety house constructed of bales of hay. The Amazing Pumpkin Carve is sponsored by the Hopewell Valley Arts Council. Ticket proceeds benefit the non-profit group and also go toward the artistcarvers’ honoraria. For more information, go to www.hvartscouncil.org.
Settlement
Continued from Page 1A bert, the attorney. Property taxes are supposed to pay for those items. “Yes, we all do pay for it,” Herbert said, adding that any increases in property taxes won’t be known until the units are built and occupied. Turning to the public schools, enrollment has been decreasing and there are about 600 “open” seats, Pogorzelski said. It is not known how many children will move into the new developments - if and when they are built. “This is a start. We will partner with the school district (to keep tabs on the number of new students). We can’t say exactly what will happen. Absorption (of
new students) will occur,” Pogorzelski said, adding that development will likely occur over the next 10 to 20 years. Herbert said he did not believe there would be an influx of families with school-aged children. Of the 653 units, 164 units - or 25 percent - are earmarked for senior citizens. The proposed development on Federal City Road, at the site of the former Oasis Farm Market, is geared toward young professionals who are unlikely to have children, he said. Asked about alternatives to provide affordable housing, such as accessory apartments or purchasing foreclosed properties, Pogorzelski said the town-
ship has one accessory apartment today, and a maximum of 10 are permitted. However, there is a deed restriction on accessory apartments to ensure that the apartment remains affordable for 30 to 50 years which is a condition that many property owners are unlikely to accept because of its impact on sales or refinancing, Pogorzelski said. The property owner does not have a choice of tenants, he said. “(The settlement) will have an impact. We are stuck with it,” Herbert said, adding that if a town does not comply, it faces “housing armageddon.” The courts will dictate the number of affordable housing units, he said.

HOPEWELL VALLEY SOCCER ASSOCIATION
Last weekend, the Hopewell Valley Soccer Association continued its fall recreational season. The following is a submitted collection of the weekend’s results.
D3 Boys
In a well-played game by both teams, DeSimone Orthodontics was able to hold on to secure a 2-0 victory on Saturday against a strong Dick’s Sporting Goods team. For DeSimone, the defense was led by the combination of Paul Warznak and Jeffrey Blake in goal, along with Tommy Irvine, Adam Rise and Shane Spencer providing consistent play to preserve the lead. In another consistently well-played game at both ends of the field on Sunday, DeSimone Orthodontics defeated Ewing 3 by a score of 5-0. Two goals each were scored by Joshua Kohlhepp and by Noah Pashman, and Connor Batcha notched his second goal of the year. Controlling the midfield to set up scoring plays were Robert Taylor, Teddy Franzino, Jackson Blackwell and Aaron Nulman.
D3 Girls
Fighting through the heat Saturday morning, Union Line Garage Firecrackers defeated Ewing 1 by a score of 6-0. The first half saw Union Line Garage take a three goal lead, with Emilie Sawicki following up a shot off the post to score her first goal, and her second goal came minutes later off an assist by Kate Coyer. Lilla Antal scored the final goal of the half off a beautiful cross pass by Shreya Mookherjee. After spending the first half as goalkeeper, Amanda Flanders came out to thrill the crowd to a hat trick, bringing Union Line Garage to six goals, with one being a breakaway as she traveled the length of the pitch. The defense didn’t allow Ewing a chance to mount a comeback, with Lucy Antal, Piper Brant and Reena Fielding keeping the ball away from the goal. Manvi Tripathi and A. Flanders recorded the shutout in goal. Sunday saw a rematch of last week’s thriller between Union Line Garage Firecrackers and Dr. McDonough’s Live Wires, with Union Line just pulling ahead with a couple minutes left to win 2-1. The first half ended with Live Wires up by a goal. The second half began with Emilie Sawicki tying the score quickly for Union Line Garage. Union Line’s midfielders, Lucy Antal, Amanda Flanders, Kate Coyer, Lily Ryan and Manvi Tripathi mounted several attacks but were turned away by Dr McDonough’s tough defense. With only minutes left, Amanda Flanders scored off a pass from E. Sawicki. Defense for Union Line was tremendous, allowing just the lone goal, and was handled by Piper Brant, Reena Fielding, Shreya Mookherjee, and Lilla Antal. Goalkeeping duties were shared by M. Tripathi and L. Ryan. Natalie Kasprzyk put the only goal for the Live Wires on the board in the first half. Chelsea Kent shut down Union’s offense thanks in part to Jaelyn Krin and Sierra Mitchell. Union’s offense was too much for Dr. McDonough’s Live Wires in the second half, scoring two unanswered goals, handing the Live wires only their second loss of the season. Dr. McDonough’s Live Wires traveled to Robbinsville on Saturday, September 23. Goals scored for the Live Wires in the first half came from Katie Clarke, Natalie Kasprzyk and Kyla Machinga with assists by Kyla, Sierra Mitchell, and Katie. Chelsea Kent provided stellar goalkeeping while Jaelyn Krin and Mariel Haynes performed flawlessly defensively. The second half saw Katie yet again finding the back of the net for Dr. McDonough’s Live Wires, assisted by Sierra, who went on to score one of her own. Goalie Natalie shut down Robbinsville’s offense to keep them from scoring in the second half, aided by great defensive work from Olivia Friedrich and Makenzie Scherbekow. Yes we had record temperatures this Sunday, but the Purple Pixie Salon team did not let the blistering heat slow them down. They played a very tough Ewing team that was quite determined to not let the game be cooled down. Ellie Lamond from the Purple Pixie Salon squad was blazing down the right side of the field and sending in sizzling crosses that caused the a lot of difficulty for the Ewing team to smolder. Megan Macdonald was very chilled as she scored the opening goal for Team Pixie. Rose Andreski did not welter and provided a solid defensive presence to put out any fires that the Ewing players tried to ignite.
D2 Boys
This weekend, Kuppek Landscaping Team played HVSA on Saturday. It was a very close game with the ball moving back and forth between the halves. However in the second quarter we suddenly fell two goals behind due to some defensive errors on our part. On the second occasion the ball was punted too close to our penalty box and the opposition team quickly capitalized by kicking it back and saw our goalkeeper scrambling back to save it. In the last two quarters we kept on attacking them - however they had a pretty strong goal keeper and their defenders kept us at bay. Final score 2-0. Kuppek Landscaping Team played the Carnegie Cat Clinic on Sunday, amidst the scorching heat of 90 degree day. Both teams had plenty of substitutes which they needed in this heat. In the first quarter we fell behind due to a fantastic lob from outside the penalty box that caught our defense and goal keeper napping. It was a truly amazing shot. It took us until the third quarter to equalize largely due to some individual brilliance by Aiden Luciano. We were tied at 1-1. Towards end of the same quarter we had a relatively

The Hopewell Valley Soccer Association Division 3 boys took on Robbinsville in a tough game on Sunday. loose ball in the middle of our half. We had two defenders nearby - unfortunately instead of taking it out towards the side and passing to the offense we kicked it back in the middle of the opposition line. Carnegie capitalized on it and inside our penalty box - the goal keeper rushed in but could not stop the easy kick to the back of the net - we were down again 2-1. We kept on fighting back in the fourth quarter but could not equalize. The heat definitely did not make it any easier. For Carnegie Cat Clinic, Lucien Gharagozloo opened the scoring with a magnificent long range effort, but Kuppek came back to level the game. Kuba Kolasi, Hunter Drake and Drew Kohlhepp worked hard in midfield and Jace Kalina playing forward put a lot of pressure on the defense and was unlucky not to score. The winner came from William Carter after some sustained pressure from Carnegie. This weekend Capital Health played Stellitano Heating & AC, falling 2-1 on Saturday but equalizing the series in brutally hot conditions with a 2-0 win on Sunday. On Saturday, a looping cross from Erik Petrin found Sam Keenan and Jeremy English in the penalty area; their combined efforts resulted in the Capitals lone goal. Cooper Wiley, John Grgurich, and Lucian Teodorescu turned in strong supporting efforts in midfield. On Sunday, Chris Miliaresis scored the Capitals first goal. In the second half, Miliaresis crossed the ball to Trevor LiVecchi, who vollied the ball into the net for the second goal. Abram Wojciechowicz had a number of stellar saves off the line in goal, while Donald Chen, James Gervasoni, and Nate Heiss had many critical stops on defense. Burdwood’s Landscape & Patio Design faced Carnegie Cat Clinic on Saturday. Tyler Ananian and Stephen Bilobran were diving and rolling to make some great saves in goal. Good defensive plays were made by Dylan Hersh, Adhithya Siva, and Juan Geller. Dylan Somma never tired as he ran the field aiding his team on offense and defense. Despite numerous drives down the field by Ryan Fornal and Vincent Matticoli, Burdwood’s just could not connect with the net and lost to Carnegie Cat Clinic 6-0. Lucien Gharagozloo was dominant in defense for Carnegie Cat Clinic, and Kuba Kolasi and Drew Kohlhepp made many great runs forward, putting a lot of pressure on
the defense of Burwood. Goals came from Hunter Drake, Mason O’Connor, Jackson Ruhl, William Carter and two from Kuba Kolasi. On Sunday, Burdwood’s Landscape & Patio Design played Team HVSA Wolves. Goalies Matthew Sarni, Stephen Bilobran, and Tyler Ananian gave it their best efforts. Christopher Mackin and Gavin Gola made some key defensive plays for Burdwood’s. Dylan Somma and Dylan Hersh hustled up and down the field in the extreme heat to keep the pressure on the Wolves. Ryan Fornal’s relentless play paid off at the end with a great assist on Vincent Matticoli’s last minute goal. Burdwood’s fell to the Wolves, 51.
D2 Girls
A final burst of Summer found the Stark and Stark Bobs back on Independence field. Saturday saw Sidney Young and Angelyn Li challenge the Blackbirds repeatedly and were able to score two goals to preventing a shut out, but Blackbirds dominated with a 7-2 win. Midday in Sunday’s sweltering heat, the girls again played well but were just edged out by Franco’s Pizza 2-1. Angelyn Li scored the only goal of the game.
2006G
On Sunday, September 24, the young ladies of Hopewell’s Nor’easter played an exciting home game against Bridgewater. The final score was 5-0. Tessa Caputo scored in the first and second half, both times in the first minutes after the game started. Katy Gray was in goal for the first half, scored a beautifully delivered goal in the second half and had some great assists. Olivia Chila, Reese Overman and Emily Eschelman were great on defense and Wendi Zheng in goal for the second half had a very fearless save. Tierney Mullowney scored twice in a row at the end of the second half, showing very impressive footwork on a hot and sunny day, breaking through Bridgewater’s defense. The girls worked great as a team and moved the ball all around the field, showing a very determined defensive strategy and not letting the heat slow them down.

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.

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.

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.

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.

HEALTH MATTERS
Dr. Rachel P. Dultz, M.D., F.A.C.S.
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.
