Hillsborough native helping New York City hospitals combat COVID-19 By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer
Jumping to the front lines to help hospitals in New York City combat the coronavirus pandemic after just graduating medical school isn’t an easy task, but Lizbeth Hu is ready to dive into the fight against COVID-19. Three days after graduating from New York University’s Grossman School of Medicine on April 3, Hu, a member of the Hillsborough High School Class of 2011 and graduate of the University of Maryland, has been working as a COVID-19 junior physician and said she is happy to be giving back to the people of New York. “This is my opportunity to give something back,” Hu said in an exclusive interview. “Of course I was afraid. I am afraid, not just for myself, but for my patients. But I also knew that the city that made me a doctor was struggling.” New York hits home for Hu, who had been working and treating patients in the city during her time at NYU. The Hillsborough High alum finished up her final rotation for medical school in February and was all set to graduate in May. When NYU representatives asked Hu and other medical school students who had finished their requirements in March about graduating a month early and joining the fight against COVID-19, she said she jumped at the chance
to help New York patients battling the virus. “I thought of all the New York City patients when I first started out on the wards who taught me about empathy and compassion. Whatever skills I have now, I have because of them,” Hu added. Since joining in the fight against the coronavirus, Hu’s role has been similar to an intern position, she said. She works with a team of residents and attendings who are senior to her to oversee patients who have tested positive for the virus who have come into the hospital. She will review each patient’s vitals, participate in their treatment plans and communicate with their families about how they are progressing. Hu said NYU prepared her very well to step into the fire and help battle the coronavirus. “I’ve been preparing to be a doctor all through medical school,” Hu said. “I have been challenged in ways I could never have imagined, and I have grown more than I ever expected. NYU has prepared me very well, and I’m ready to face new challenges and opportunities in residency.” As for having to participate in a virtual graduation ceremony, Hu admits that there was a sense of loss not having a real graduation ceremony like she imagined, but also looks at it as one unlike another in history. Even though she and her

peers were separated in their own homes, they were all still embarking on a new journey together, Hu said. Hu found out on March 20 that the next chapter in her journey will be a residency at The Johns Hopkins Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medi-
cine, which she said she is excited to begin sometime this summer. For now, however, Hu is focused on helping combat the coronavirus and is thrilled to be a part of the fight. “It’s unusual to work in a hospital where I’ve trained for so many years and experience
so much change because of the pandemic, but there is an incredible sense of solidarity within its walls,” Hu said. “I look around at the people I am working beside, the doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists and custodial teams, and I feel so much pride to be a part of what they are doing.”
Raritan Valley Community College is new testing site for Somerset, Hunterdon counties By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer
During his daily coronavirus update on April 14, Gov. Phil Murphy announced that Raritan Valley Community College, Branchburg, will open as a new COVID-19 test site for residents of Somerset and Hunterdon counties on April 16. Testing is free for all residents age 5 and older, and by appointment only. Residents must exhibit symptoms related to the coro-
navirus, such as, dry cough, fever or shortness of breath. Each individual to be tested will need to present a written doctor’s prescription. They will be required to present proof of county residency in the form of a driver’s license or state issued identification. As a safety precaution, individuals must arrive at the test site in a car. A joint test site for Somerset and Hunterdon counties has been sought by the Somerset County
Board of Chosen Freeholders from the start of the pandemic. On April 3, the freeholders announced they were in contact with Congressman Tom Malinowski and Murphy subsequently established a joint COVID-19 test site with Hunterdon County. The biggest hurdle Somerset County officials said at the time to get a test site up and running was securing enough testing kits and more personal protective equipment for healthcare profes-
sionals who would staff the site. “We have been working very hard behind the scenes to get access to supplies and to set up a test site for the health and safety of our residents,” Freeholder Director Shanel Y. Robinson said on April 3. “Our partners in this initiative include Congressman Malinowski, Gov. Murphy, the New Jersey Department of Health, the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management and Hunterdon
County. We will continue to do everything we can to ensure that all possible resources are made available to residents in Somerset and Hunterdon counties,” Robinson said. To make an appointment, residents of Somerset and Hunterdon counties may visit somersethunterdon.adlabscovidtest.com/ Individuals who do not have access to a computer may call 908-237-7150 to make an appointment.
Costume makers from McCarter Theater aid those in need of face masks By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer
SUBSCRIBE 732-254-7004
Members of the McCarter Theatre Center Costume Shop are still utilizing their skills, as the group creates face masks for those on the frontline of the coronavirus pandemic. Sarah Romagnoli, a former Princeton area resident who has worked at the theater for about five years, has been making masks at her home in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, since theater productions were canceled. “I started talking to my sister about creating masks since the end of February. She had signed up to work for the U.S. military as con-
tract doctor and they sent her to Louisville, Kentucky,” Romagnoli said. “She was there in the middle of February and I made my first mask on March 17 after she had requested me to build one.” She has sent her sister eight masks since she began making them. Romagnoli had created five different models of her masks from her designs. She has now switched her focus to building masks from a sterilization wrap called Halyard H600. The wrap is used to protect surgical instrument trays in medical operations. “The wrap does not allow germs and particles in. I had previously gotten my hands on an H300 wrap which is slightly thinner, but is still expensive. I started making masks from it and have given them to doctors who have asked me for masks,” Romagnoli said. “I cannot claim that it will keep everything out, but it is better than most masks.” She added that H600 or H300 wraps can be used as lining under cotton fabric and can be hand washed.
“I have been making a shaped mask that fits comfortably. I have been lining it with H600 as one of the layers and putting cotton on one or two sides,” Romagnoli said. “It takes me about an hour to create each of these Halyard masks. Outside of doctors and nurses, I have made masks for medics, dietitians and pharmacists.” Currently, Romagnoli has made more than 100 mask since she first began in March. Promoting that people wear masks, wash their hands and staying vigilant about hygiene stems from her grandfather’s work during the Korean War, according to Romagnoli. “My grandfather on my mother’s side was a doctor in Seoul during the Korean War. His responsibility was setting up all of the small clinics and checking to make sure they had everything they needed,” Romagnoli said. “He was a big proponent of washing hands and masking up. He contracted tuberculosis because he was seeing so many hospitals and clinics and he died.” Other members of the costume
shop have been making fabric masks to also combat the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Members are creating the masks for the Mercer Mask Project, a notfor-profit group of Mercer County residents and sewers. “For the project I have made more than 120 masks and started working on isolation gowns last week as well. I have made masks with my own personal supplies and those from neighbors and friends,” said Erika Toney, draper for McCarter Theatre. “I had a stash of fabric from work for a quilt, which helped make my first masks. McCarter Theatre donated some fabric which I have been using as well. I am also using the kits from the Mercer Mask Project.” The project prepares handmade face masks for medical professionals, patients, essential personnel, supermarkets and assisted living facilities. “They have people donating fabric to them everyday it is really amazing. The community has really come together not only help the people on the front line, but nursing
homes and supermarkets,” Toney said. “They have the donations come in, people wash the fabric, sort them out and make kits. I drop off a set of masks and pick up another kit.” She added that the fabric that members have been utilizing is mostly quilting cotton, 100% cotton sheeting or shirting. The masks are provided free of charge and the group has delivered more than 2,000 masks, according to Mercer Mask Project organizers. The project connects with volunteers creating masks and to obtain donated cotton fabric through social media. “The first week after the theater had to close its doors the costume community just banded together. We are not people who just sit around we are doers,” Toney said. “Mercer Mask Project was excited to have the skills from our folks to make a slightly more complicated shaped mask that works well over a N95 mask and makes it more reusable: also, masks that you can put a filter in and put it through a sanitizer for medical professionals.”

OPINION:
First responders deserve line of duty death benefits due to coronavirus crisis As a matter of practice, policy and procedure, the vast majority of law enforcement agencies provide for certain employment benefits for all sworn personnel, to include among them a special death benefit status known as a Line
of Duty Death. This status occurs when the injuries which caused the officers demise were incurred from actions they took while providing law enforcement services to the community they serve. Being designated as a line of duty
death also typically provides the surviving family with greater healthcare and death benefits. Under the normal connotation of this status, these officers have died due to being shot, stabbed, run over by vehicles, or suffer-
ing death-related injuries in struggles with suspects. Yet there is now another cause for deaths of law enforcement first responders that should, and must, be considered as a line-of-duty related death: that cause is the death of a law enforcement first responder due to contracting the novel coronavirus. To date, law enforcement and correctional officer first responders in Illinois, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Florida and California have died after contracting this deadly disease. And officers in at least eight states are known to have tested positive for the virus. It must be accepted and understood that they more than likely contracted this disease while conducting their duty-related services of responding
Postal employees ask for communities to observe social distancing during deliveries During these challenging times, postal employees are working hard to ensure residents stay connected with their world through the mail. Whether it’s medications, a package, a paycheck, benefits or pension check, a bill, or a letter from a family member, postal workers understand that every piece of mail is important. While service like this is nothing new to us, we need help in the communities with social distancing. For everyone’s safety, our employees are following the social distancing precautions recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) and local health officials. We are asking people to not approach our carriers to accept delivery. Let the carrier leave the mailbox before collecting the mail. With schools not in session, children should also be encouraged to not approach a postal vehicle or carrier. If a delivery requires a signature, carriers will knock on the door rather than touching the bell. They will maintain a safe distance, and instead of asking for a signature on their mobile device, they’ll ask for the resident’s name. The carrier will leave the mail or package in a safe place for retrieval.
We are proud of the role all our employees play in processing, transporting, and delivering mail and packages for the American public. The CDC, World Health Organization, as well as the Surgeon General indicate there is currently no evidence that COVID-19 is being spread through the mail. With social distancing, we can keep the mail moving while keeping our employees, and the public, safe.

lthough there is no doubt that we face a national (and global) emergency in the virus, there is also no doubt that we face a number of other very serious challenges. They include the climate crisis, and ongoing problems arising from inequality in education and income, inadequate infrastructure, and imbalances in our political systems. What can individuals, and communities, do to respond to all of these in effective ways? TV host and Life Success Coach Natasha Sherman (www.natashasherman. com) recently conducted a local conversation on the YouTube Channel with environmentalist, and director of the New Jersey chapter of The Sierra Club, Jeff Tittel. Their subject was just that: What can individuals do to help address this array of existential challenges? Tittel is certainly one of the most experienced New Jerseyans to guide us in answering this question. He’s been an environmental advocate for over 20 years. In that role, he has successfully led or participated in numerous campaigns to preserve our land and water. These include: helping to pass
New Jersey’s Global Warming Act, and The Highlands Act, preserving the Sterling Forest, pushing for surface water rules and corporate taxes to help preserve our environment. He has served on the transition teams for a number of New Jersey governors and participated in other policy groups. And he has served as the director of New Jersey’s Sierra Club. The Sierra Club is the nation’s oldest and largest environmental group. Nationally there are 3 million members. In New Jersey there are 22,000 members and as many as 60,000 supporters. And because local members set the agendas for their chapters, those chapters address a wide range of issues, including: preserving land and open spaces from development, opposing toxic sites, promoting better clean-up laws, supporting pro-choice, immigrants’ rights, and the $15/hour minimum wage, and reducing the usage of plastic bags. And, in addressing climate change, one prominent Sierra Club focus has been opposing new pipelines, fossil fuel power plants, and generally the usage of fossil fuels. Sadly, New Jersey is one of the most polluted states, but instead of reduc-

Presented by James J. Cally, D.M.D. WEAR THE CROWN PROUDLY When a cavity is too large to be filled or when a tooth is significantly weakened, the dentist is likely to recommend that it be replaced with a “crown” (or “cap”) that takes the place of the visible portion of the tooth that sits above the gum line. Crowns fit over the top of a tooth and protect what
is
underneath.
Once
they are cemented in place, they act as a new top for the tooth, while keeping it from breaking apart. Because they are mostly indistinguishable from natural teeth, crowns also restore the appearance of the mouth. They are constructed of very resilient and durable materials, including gold alloys; precious,
semiprecious,
or
nonprecious alloys; porcelain; and composite resins.
Crowns are just one option available today to change the look of your teeth. Don’t hide your smile behind a lack of information.

ing fossil fuel usage, the fossil fuel industry is pushing proposals for eight additional pipelines, and five new natural gas power plants. The industry’s campaign continues despite the growth and improvements in green technology. Renewable electric power and electric vehicles are viable alternatives increasing in numbers. Tittel pointed out that in 15 years all of the state’s electric power could come from renewables, thereby substantially reducing greenhouse gases. In 20 years New Jersey could be carbon free, a change that would create numerous jobs and cut health costs by billions of dollars, notably for asthma and cancers from toxic sites. What Tittel urged us not to overlook is that we are at the beginning of a huge transition in power generation – indeed a revolution. What is resisting this revolution, this vast improvement?

f your normal exercise routine has been upended by the COVID-19 pandemic, you’re not alone. Millions of gym-goers, fitness center enthusiasts and others are being forced to find new, creative ways to stay physically active while staying home. The World Health Organization (WHO) notes that during the COVID-19 pandemic when so many people are very restricted in their movements, it is even more important to be as active as possible. Exercise helps reduce the risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other diseases and it also serves to reduce stress and anxiety by boosting those feel-good hormones called endorphins. So how can you stay physically active, while also staying safe? Start with these practical tips from the Hamilton Area YMCA, a partner of Penn Medicine Princeton Health. • No weights? No problem. Gallon water jugs, bottles of laundry detergent or soup cans make for great weights and add an extra lev-

tie’s policies that need to be changed are those allowing development along the Jersey shore that will face destruction from sea level rise. To get the governor to move on all of these environmental issues, Tittel urges citizens to write and/or call the governor and press him to act. Toward this same end, the Sierra Club has joined with 80 other groups in opposing the pipelines and power plants. In addition, the Sierra Club publishes a very informative newspaper, The Jersey Sierran, which can help update and educate residents on the many issues we all face. And it offers suggestions on what we might do. Not all of Tittel’s news was about existing problems. He was pleased to inform us that a number of towns, including Princeton, Hoboken and Jersey City, have either already reached or are planning to be carbon free. And the state itself is not without improvement; it just hasn’t yet done enough.
In prior years, Jersey residents have joined together to end ocean dumping, prevent intrusive highways and a jetport from destroying natural landscapes, preserves, and habitats. The Pinelands is the largest of the tracts to be saved. On the individual or community levels, many have turned to organic foods, LED bulbs, and/or green or electric appliances, tools, and vehicles. In short, Tittel urged everyone to participate, to become active and vocal, in re-focusing our governor’s slipping efforts (and our president’s unacceptable policies and behavior.) At the same time Tittel recommended that we all get out and enjoy the beautiful nature that still abounds in New Jersey. If you are seeking support and community, investigate the Sierra Club, and when the virus subsides, attend the local Sierra Club talks and meetings. There’s no shortage of things to do.

But surprisingly, he also named Governor Phil Murphy, saying that while the governor has promised many green improvements, he has been very slow in implementing them. One step New Jersey citizens can take is to contact the governor and urge action. And among the actions needed is placing a moratorium on pipeline and power plant construction. And, we need to hear updates on the governor’s promised off-shore wind farm plans and construction. This project was touted as potentially generating half of the state’s power needs. If the governor allows these pipelines and power plants to be built, the state will not reach its goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Tittel also noted that the governor has not rolled back his predecessor, Chris Christie’s, anti-green regulations. What is he waiting for? Among a number of Chris-

Carry around any heavy objects while you do, and you’ve added weight resistance. • Use a chair for dips. Any chair can be used for dips. Place hands on both front corners of the seat, extend your legs, bend your elbows to lower yourself down, then straighten your arms to raise yourself back up. • Use the same chair for push-ups. Place your hands on the seat and extend your legs, lower your chest to the chair, then raise yourself back up. • Or try counter-top push-ups. Stand back, put your hands on the edge of the counter, and do some half push-ups. • Books are great for your core. Place a heavy, hardcover book on your chest when doing crunches to add an extra level of tension to an already difficult exercise. Or, lie on your back, arms above you, book in hand, and
use your stomach muscles to raise your shoulders off the ground, targeting your lower abs. • Use a paper plate or dishrag for lunges. Stand on hard floor with one foot on a plate or rag, slide your leg back and bend your knee until your opposite knee bends to about a 90-degree angle, then slide back up. • Jumping jacks. See how many you can do during one or two commercials while you’re watching television. Also keep in mind that exercise can come in all different shapes and forms. Playing with your children or pets, dancing, gardening, and even house cleaning are all great forms of exercise. Going for a walk, run or bicycle ride outdoors are good ways to stay active. Just remember, it is important that you check local and state government guidelines about restrictions in your community and practice social distancing by staying at least six feet away from others. Wash your hands as soon as you return home. Additionally, many gyms and other fitness outlets are
now offering live classes online. Taking a virtual fitness class can help keep you healthy and connected to the community. Fitness apps that you can download to your phone are also another tool to help keep you moving. Whatever you do, make it part of your normal, daily routine. Setting a specific time to be active helps ensure you get your daily dose of exercise. The WHO also offers these suggestions for staying safe while you exercise: • Do not exercise if you have a fever, cough or difficulty breathing. Stay home, rest and call your physician if your symptoms worsen. • If you are not regularly active, start slowly and with low-intensity activities. Start with shorter increments, like five or 10 minutes and gradually build up to 30 minutes or more continuously over a few weeks. It is better and safer to be active for short periods more frequently than to try and be active for long periods when you are not used to exercising. • Choose the right intensity according to your health status and fitness level. You should be able to breathe comfortably and hold a conversation while you do light and moderate-intensity physical activity.

The Trenton Health Team
A
t 7 p.m. each night in New York City, residents stand on patios, on rooftops and in doorways to clap and cheer wildly for the individuals working at the hospitals in their neighborhoods. If this were happening in Trenton, I would add to the shout-out recipients one non-hospital – the Trenton Health Team (THT), an organization whose work is healthcare, but generally is under the radar screen and rarely on the television screen. Its healthcare role in Trenton is characterized by bland terms like “partnership,” “coordination,” “integration” and “collaboration.” In my opinion, an inspiring word to describe its work is “transformation.” Trenton Health Team, for the past decade, has worked to advance the health and well being of Trenton resi-
dents. Working closely with community and healthcare partners and looking at the big picture, THT uses a data-driven approach to advance a vision of a healthier city. THT comprises professionals of various backgrounds (communications, social work, public health, community health, emergency medicine, information technology), whose work makes it possible for all the other healthcare providers in the city to save lives. In the current COVID-19 crisis, THT has brought together the right people to implement the following: a walk-in (rather than drive-thru) COVID-19 testing site in Trenton; a health data exchange system that integrates COVID community-based testing and prescribed treatment data; and a strategy for
communicating health information to a segment of the population lacking the language skills and/or technology to receive important COVID-19 directives. THT, celebrating its 10th birthday this year, came onto my radar screen thanks to a longtime friend, Greg Paulson, the executive director of THT, since 2015. A Princeton University alumnus, who became hooked on emergency medicine through his work with the Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad, Greg is a paramedic who earned his Master’s in Science in emergency services management at Drexel University. During his years as an emergency department patient care technician and field paramedic, Greg helped patients who needed emergency care, as well as those who sought refuge in the
emergency room when they actually needed accessible primary care and social services. “At one time, I had thought about becoming a doctor, but I was seeing the need for a more integrative approach to providing healthcare. … The opportunity to work with the THT intrigued me because it offered a chance to work on the healthcare problems and experiences I had as a paramedic, in an environment where healthcare institutions are collaborating to restore health to the community they serve,” Greg said. THT’s founding mission is ensuring health equity for Trenton residents by looking at all the factors contributing to good health. The prescription for accomplishing this is a comprehensive network of community partnerships.
According to the THT website, THT was founded to “improve the well-being of greater Trenton by partnering with the community to expand access to highquality, coordinated, costeffective healthcare and addressing housing quality, food security, neighborhood safety, education and social inequities inextricably linked to poor health outcomes.” As a non-profit collaboration, TNT comprises Trenton’s two hospitals, St. Francis Medical Center and Capital Health; the Henry J. Austin Health Center; and the City of Trenton Department of Health and Human Services. “We knock down silos. … We get the right people in the room. We have created an infrastructure of shared decision making for groups that don’t normally interact,” Greg said.

Working Together to Prevent the Spread of COVID-19 Staying Safe Is Everyone’s Responsibility
As the situation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold around the world, it’s important to remember that some of the most effective steps we can take to prevent its spread begin right at home. In these extraordinary times, following simple guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) can go a long way in helping to control this disease. If you think you have been exposed to COVID-19, call your health care provider. Symptoms (which are mild for most people) include fever, cough, and difficulty breathing.
thought to spread from person-to-person through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so practicing social distancing—maintaining a distance of at least six feet between yourself and other people—can help reduce the spread of COVID-19 in your community. This is especially important for people who are at higher risk of getting very sick, such as adults more than 65 years of age or people with underlying medical conditions.

Manage your anxiety and stress. Everyone responds to stress differently, but be sure to unplug from the 24hour news cycle (including social media) and enjoy other activities you enjoy. Social distancing doesn’t mean you have to disconnect from society too—use your phone or video chat to stay in touch with friends and family and work through this experience together. As conditions develop, you can find the most up-todate information at the CDC website (cdc.gov). Helpful information is also available from the New Jersey Department of Health (online at covid19.nj.gov or by phone at 1-800-222-1222) and the Pennsylvania Department of Health (online at health. pa.gov or by phone at 1-877-PA-HEALTH).
Like health care facilities around the world, the safety of patients and the community at large is the top priority at Capital Health, especially during the COVID-19 health crisis. However, facemasks and other protective equipment for health care providers on the front lines are in short supply. If you, anyone you know, or your organization wishes to donate protective equipment to Capital Health – specifically N95 face masks, full-face plastic shields, plastic goggles and alcohol-based hand phones, keyboards, toilets, sanitizer (with at least 60 faucets, and sinks.

This infrastructure of coordination and partnership and shared decision making has proven to be particularly invaluable during the current COVID-19 crisis. “We have been working with community groups, with faith leaders, with the health care and governmental organizations for a long time. Our in-person meetings became weekly virtual meetings when the COVID crisis began. Because of this, we were able to advocate successfully for a walk-thru testing facility, so crucial because many in the city have no access to cars,” he said. But the prospect of community testing raised a new challenge – COVID patient data collection and coordination. Five years ago, THT established the Trenton Health Information Exchange (Trenton HIE), one of six HIEs in New Jersey providing healthcare professionals access to integrated patient records in real-time to support treatment decisions and strategies. “Thanks to the HIE, the data system that combines all separate hospital data, primary care data, in one place, we have been able to create a system to support community testing and follow-up treatment,” Greg said. The third COVID-related area where the THT infrastructure has been especially useful is in messaging to the community. “We are used to adapting our health care communication to the reality faced by many Trenton residents” – a reality where people do not have their own washer and drier, may not know English, may lack computer access, may be living in small quarters with several other people or living homeless on the street. “Many residents still believed that COVID was a problem someplace else. So we have three simple messages: COVID is here and dangerous; stay far apart from one another; wear a mask,” Greg said. “We had the communications infrastructure in place. We have been working with community leaders of churches and other social service and neighborhood groups for a long time, who have been working with us to develop the appropriate vehicles to spread the message,” and in doing so hopefully thwarting the spread of the virus, he said. Since no one can wish THT a happy birthday in person, I suggest a virtual, but very personal, birthday gift – a photo taken for the THT’s “Why I Like Trenton 2020” photo contest. The initiative celebrates Trenton’s resilience and strong sense of community throughout the years – and particularly now as the residents confront the threat of COVID-19. THT would like new original photos taken in Trenton that showcase “our community, our courage, and our caring for one another. We are looking for photos that show how we are coping during this uncertain time: walking along the canal or through a park, working from home, learning from home, enjoying our family and pets, helping each other as first responders and volunteers.” For more information, visit trentonhealthteam.org/ whyiliketrenton-2020-photo-contest/

Baby Boomers Seek “Best of Both Worlds” Retirement Care Springpoint Choice Offers ‘Continuing Care at Home’ Option
dedicated to providing the one-on-one attention that helps seniors age in place and remain at home longer. Members enjoy the amenities and activities available at any of Springpoint’s eight continuing care retirement communities located throughout New Jersey and Delaware. They can participate in LivWell, Springpoint’s award-winning health and wellness program. This program is aligned with HHS recommendations for healthy aging that include staying active, staying connected to your community, eating well, understanding mental health and attending to brain health.
M
any older adults who are weighing their retirement care options want to remain in their homes for the foreseeable future—forever if possible. While aging in place is desirable for many people who would rather not live in a community setting, the issue of healthcare looms large—and rightly so. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reports that approximately 7 out of every 10 people who turn 65 can expect to use some form of long-term care during their lives. According to Genworth Financial Inc., an S&P 400 insurance company that focuses on financial solutions for long-term care, the 2018 New Jersey state median care costs range from $54,912 a year for a home health aide to $142,350 a year for nursing home care and these figures will continue to rise. Generally, neither health insurance nor Medicare covers these expenses. This is why having a plan is crucial for anyone approaching
retirement who wants to protect their assets, retain the savings they’ve worked so hard to build and have guaranteed future care. One plan that’s gaining traction as an excellent, best-of-both-worlds retirement care option for adults ages 55 and older is called “continuing care at home.” It allows members to remain in their current homes, receive personal assistance, protect themselves from escalating long-term care costs and have access to first-class senior care when needed. One such continuing care at home program is now available in New Jersey through Springpoint Choice, operated by Springpoint, the Mid-Atlantic region’s premier nonprofit senior care provider for over 100 years.
Because life is unpredictable, it’s a great comfort to know that if members need rehabilitative care, home care, assisted living or a more permanent skilled nursing or memory care living arrangement, they have access to Springpoint’s network of long-term care services. To enjoy Springpoint Choice membership, the eligibility requirements include: • Minimum age 55 • Living independently • Completion of application process • Completion of health screening • Adequate medical insurance coverage If you are interested in remaining in your own home for as long as possible while securing a smart plan for your future that protects your assets and addresses any future health needs, call 866-778-3255 or visit springpointchoice.org to learn more. It’s your journey, your choice.
The Springpoint Choice program pairs members with personal care navigators
Springpoint Choice is a new program for active, independent, healthy adults who are planning for the future.

With families home due to pandemic, fire safety practices are necessary The New Jersey Fire Sprinkler Advisory Board is offering tips to help people stay safe from fires while they are spending extended periods of time at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Fire doesn’t take time off, even during a national pandemic,” said David Kurasz, executive director of the New Jersey Fire Sprinkler Advisory Board, in a statement provided by the advisory board. “With so many people stuck at home, daily routines are far from normal and the added stress of the situation can result in normal safety practices falling by the wayside.” A fire can start in seconds and spread in minutes, on average giving residents only three to five minutes to safely escape. “By incorporating some simple safety practices for the whole family, you can help reduce the chances of injury and fire breaking out in your home,” Kurasz said in the statement. He offered some preventative types for various types of fires: • Electrical Fires: Avoid overloading electrical outlets and power strips which can overheat, spark and cause fire. Check all extension cords to ensure they are rated for proper use and that they are not damaged or frayed. Turn off all computer/gaming equipment before retiring. • Candles/Open Flames: If using candles make sure they are placed out of the reach of children and pets who can knock them over. Keep candles away from curtains, bedding
and other flammable materials. Follow the 3-foot safety rule for “open flames” such as fireplaces, wood burning stoves and fire pits to keep children, pets and flammable materials at a safe distance. • Cooking: Keep all flammable materials such as dish cloths, paper towels, recipe books, etc., away from heat sources. Never leave cooking food unattended on a stove. Use devices only as directed: pressure cookers, toasters, ovens, slow cookers, air fryers, etc. Follow the 3-foot safety rule around cooking equipment when children are present to avoid injury. Families should also create an escape plan that includes escape routes and a safe meeting place away from the home. Make sure that all windows, doors and hallways are clear of clutter that might block a potential exit. Install and test fire alarms in hallways and bedrooms and replace batteries frequently. According to Kurasz, having a fire sprinkler system installed is one of the safest most effective ways to protect your family and home from fire. Fire sprinklers react in minutes, often controlling fires before the fire department arrives. Sprinklers can also reduce the risk of dying in a fire by 80 percent and minimize property damage by 70%, according to the statement. “We want to make sure that people not only stay healthy, but that they stay fire safe during this crisis by incorporating simple fire safety steps that can protect their family now and

PSE&G warns of potential scammers
The following information was disseminated by the South Brunswick Police Department: Public Service Electric & Gas (PSE&G), New Jersey’s largest utility, is more committed than ever to the health and safety of its customers. A heightened sense of uncertainty throughout the world is emboldening phone scammers who impersonate utility employees and PSE&G urges customers to know the facts and protect themselves. “In times like these, every challenge our households face is magnified,” said Fred Daum, executive director, PSE&G Customer Operations. “The heightened anxiety we’re feeling is perfect for scammers, whose preferred tactic is to make people panic at the thought of getting their power shut off. That’s why it’s important for people to know that, during this crisis, PSE&G is not shutting off power for non-payment due to financial burdens.” Phone scammers typically tell their potential victims that they must pay an overdue bill or face immediate shut off of electricity. PSE&G is reminding its customers that, in the interest of protecting public health, shut-offs of electric service for non-payment have been temporarily suspended. As another reminder, PSE&G does not accept payment via prepaid gift cards, wire transfers or cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin. What to look out for: • You receive a call from what looks like PSE&G on your caller ID. • The caller threatens to shut off your service and demands an immediate payment by cash, pre-paid card, wire transfer or Bitcoin. • The caller informs you that you require a new meter and demands a deposit before the installation can occur (PSE&G does not require a deposit for a new meter installation). • You’re given a phone number to call back that, when called, may sound similar to PSE&G’s automated call system. • The caller alerts you that, because of your good bill-paying history, you’re eligible for a bill reduction or discount but you must provide information first. What PSE&G will and won’t discuss over the phone: • A genuine PSE&G representative will ask to speak to the account owner. • If that person is available, the representative will explain why they are calling and provide the account name, address and current balance. • If the account owner is not available, the PSE&G representative will not discuss the account at all and ask that a message be left for the Customer of Record to call 1-800-436PSEG (7734).

Legal Services of New Jersey Lawyers, judges, law students launches program for victims can receive assistance enslaved by human trafficking Legal Services of New Jersey (LSNJ), based in Edison, has launched a major new statewide initiative to provide civil legal aid for victims in the Garden State enslaved by human traffickers and forced to do work or perform sex against their will. The new program, known at PROTECT, is taking calls on the LSNJ tollfree hotline, 1-844-576-5776 (1-844-LSNJPROTECT), from victims and those calling on their behalf. Callers will remain confidential and will be advised of numerous services available at LSNJ to help them cope with the impacts of human trafficking. “Put simply, it is modern day slavery,” LSNJ President Melville D. Miller said in a prepared statement. “Human trafficking is a horrendous ongoing problem, especially targeting women and youth.” Anisa Rahim, chief attorney for PROTECT, said, “Such exploitation is ex-
pected to become even more acute at times like this. COVID-19 is causing rising unemployment, economic uncertainty and heightened social isolation.” PROTECT, financed with state and federal anticrime grants, has a core staff of several attorneys and paralegals. The initiative is available to all, regardless of age or immigration status. Comprehensive legal help will be provided for issues involving family law, immigration, public benefits, expungement, health care access, employment and housing, among others, according to the statement. Social work support also will be available. Miller stressed that “data on the extent of trafficking in New Jersey greatly understate reality because so many victims cannot report what is happening to them. Still, the national Human Traffic Hotline received 10,000 calls from victims in 2018, including more than 200
from New Jersey, a chilling number.” “New Jersey is the gateway to New York and Philadelphia. The interstate road network and New Jersey’s large immigrant and diverse population is particularly vulnerable to traffickers,” Rahim said in the statement. A grim example of the extent traffickers infiltrate the state occurred in October 2017, when the FBI charged 42 people in New Jersey in a child sex trafficking investigation involving 82 children whose ages averaged 17, according to the statement. Miller emphasized that “traffickers prey on those who are poor and vulnerable – the disabled, runaways, and homeless youths who are especially victimized. By coordinating with law enforcement, health care providers, social services providers and others likely to encounter victims, we hope to be a factor in turning around this tide of new slavery.”

Stella Stewart Stella Stewart of Lawrenceville, NJ (and of Pennington, NJ for 50 years) died peacefully on March 13, 2020 at 96. She is survived by her identical twin Grace Clarke with whom she lived in a skilled nursing facility and is survived by and predeceased by many other loving family members listed below. Stella and Grace were born in 1923 to a Scottish chambermaid and an English butler who met after immigrating to NYC. They lived with their parents and older brother in a tenement flat when such buildings were still prevalent and “the El” (elevated railway) rattled nearby. Stella’s central lifelong passions took shape there: devotion to the Presbyterian church (Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church in NYC [MAPC] and later Pennington Presbyterian Church in NJ); commitment to women’s education (the twins were the first women in the family to go to college and beyond); unwavering service to others; devotion to family and a love of accounting. She and her twin were a magnificent pair – smart, curious, generous, never cross, humble, honest and skilled. Stella passed away with her sister by her side Because her father was the butler for a wealthy family, Stella spent summers by the ocean when the family relocated to a cottage on the employer’s estate. There she developed a love of nature, swimming and many sports. Later, the twins became Hunter College badminton champions. Because of her mother’s feisty determination to ensure her children’s education, Stella and her twin attended Hunter College where she majored in business and accounting. This led to a very successful accounting career in a prominent NYC accounting firm where she met her future husband, Aubrey Stewart. During WWII, when field-auditor positions opened up for women, Stella took on the challenge. After the war, however, these women were asked to step aside to make room for (the mostly male) returning veteran accountants. While she did this gracefully and excelled in other firm positions, she often shared her story. She was a strong woman and a quiet “path breaker” with an unwavering moral compass who embraced justice for others and women’s rights. Stella and Aubrey, wonderful life-long partners, found the perfect setting for their lives in a historic house dating from the 1700s on 11-acres in NJ. They impeccably maintained their home and opened it for gatherings with relatives, church family and neighbors. All who knew them, loved and respected them. Although they had no children of their own, they embraced her brother’s and cousin’s children (seven in all) and numerous grandchildren. After essentially growing up in MAPC, she and Aubrey moved to NJ, joined the Pennington Presbyterian Church and, along with her twin, became invaluable members of the church family. They served on many committees in many roles. As the church treasurer, Stella crafted a successful capital campaign to renovate the historic church buildings. Stella loved the Hopewell township area, was a devoted member of the community, became a successful real estate broker and helped shape the area’s land-use policy. Generous with her time, talents and home, she brought her father from NYC, after her mother’s passing, to share his final years with them under her loving care. And later, she opened her home to one after another, friend and family, to do the same under her tender, faithful care in these rural tranquil surroundings. In addition to her twin, Stella is survived by her: cousin Fred Clarke & family in TX; her brother’s children Randall of CO, Jordan Clarke (Valerie) of NJ & his daughter Chelsea of CA/ NY and Holly Clarke of NYC; her cousin’s children Betsy Yost Schlossman (Marty d.) of KS & family, Mady Gach (Bill d.) of NY & family and Peter Yost (Kathy) & family; nephew in-law Russell Lidman (Raven d.) of WA & his children Hannah Lidman Schiovitz (Dan) and Shane Lidman (Lisa) and three greatnephews; relatives in Scotland and many other extended family and friends. Stella was predeceased by her husband Aubrey Stewart; her brother A. Roger Clarke of NY (1st wife Gay, 2nd wife Jeannette), her brother’s daughter Raven Clarke Lidman of WA and her cousins Betty Yost (George d.) and Peggy Grant of NJ. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Pennington Presbyterian Church, https:// pennpres.org/online-giving/ Arrangements are by the Blackwell Memorial Home For condolences go to website at blackwellmh.com.
OBITUARY Marilyn Dey Marilyn Dey, 89, of Monmouth Junction, NJ, passed away on Saturday, April 11, 2020, at Park Place Center-LTC in Monmouth Junction, NJ. Born in Kenilworth, NJ on June 7, 1930, Marilyn was raised in Newark, NJ before moving to Jamesburg, NJ. She was a graduate of Jamesburg High School, Class of 1948, where she met her late husband, Clarence W. Dey, Jr. They were married and lived in South Brunswick until 1990. Marilyn was a farmer (Dey Farms) and with her husband, Clarence, raised three daughters on the family farm. In 1990 Marilyn and Clarence left the farm and spent several years traveling around the country in an RV. They settled in Naples, Florida in 1997, and lived there until 2011.
EXPLAINING DEATH While the death of a loved one can be overwhelming for adults, it can be even more so for children. Nevertheless, parents should try not to allow their thoughts and emotions stand in the way when explaining death to their children. As adults find ways to make sense of what has happened, to give expression to their feelings, and to work towards acceptance, they should strive to tell children the truth about what happened, right away. While it may be uncomfortable to use such words as “death” and “died,” research shows that using realistic words to describe death helps the grieving process. After that, parents should share details in small doses and be prepared for a variety of emotional responses.

No one is prepared for grief. The rush
Marilyn loved farming. She and Clarence worked tirelessly on their farm. When not busy with farm work, she was busy doing needlework or whipping up something delicious in the kitchen. Marilyn’s pastries were enjoyed by all. Marilyn loved people and gave generously of herself whenever she saw a need. She was devoted to her family. Marilyn loved talking to people and was happy to engage in spirited debate whenever the opportunity arose.
of feelings, the thoughts, anxieties, and heartache can take us by surprise and drive us to our knees. Yet, when we choose to harness that power for self-growth, amazing things can happen. Realize that however you approach the subject of death, your child will be upset, and perhaps, even angry. Accept your child’s emotional reactions. You will have time to address things again after your child’s had time to process the initial shock. To learn more about the memorial and funeral services we offer, please call 609-7372900. We are located at 21 North Main St. Continuous Family Service Since 1881.
A Celebration of Life service will be held at a date to be announced. Please continue to visit our website for service details. Due to the current temporary regulations in our state and nation, a private graveside service will be held at Dayton Cemetery, Dayton, NJ.
QUOTE: “You’ll stay with me?’ Until the very end,’ said James.”

Beware of ‘grandparent scam’ where con artist pretends to be a relative in distress The following information was disseminated by the East Brunswick Police Department: In a typical Grandparent Scam, a con artist calls or emails the victim posing as a relative in distress or someone claiming to represent the relative (such as a lawyer or law enforcement agent). The “relative” of the grandparent explains (s)he is in trouble and needs their grandparent to wire them funds that will be used for bail money, lawyer’s fees, hospital bills, or another fictitious expense. The victim is urged not to tell anyone, such as the parent of the “grandchild” because they do not want them to find
out about the trouble they’ve gotten themselves into. The grandparent never hears from their fake grandchild again and is tricked out of hundreds or even thousands of dollars. To detect and avoid the Grandparent Scam, the East Brunswick Police Department recommends the following tips: • Beware of any urgent solicitation of funds, especially if it is needed to pay for unexpected bills, such as bail money, lawyer’s fees, or doctor bills • Before sending funds, independently contact the relative (or parent of the relative) the scam artist is claiming to
be (or represent) at a known phone number to verify the details of the story. • Scam artist’s payment method of choice is the wire transfer. Any urgent request to wire money should be treated suspiciously. • Be aware that fraudsters attempting the Grandparent Scam may call late at night to confuse potential victims. • Consumers who have been victims of this scam should immediately report it to local law enforcement.
