Officials pave way for $8.5 million in infrastructure projects By Andrew Martins Managing Editor

An $8.5 million plan to improve a number of roadways throughout the municipality was recently introduced by the township committee as part of what officials called a “five-year roadway plan.” According to the proposed ordinance, which was unanimously approved for introduction during the Aug. 14 township committee meeting, officials have appropriated the aforementioned $8.5

million. That figure includes a $425,000 down payment, as required by local bond law. Mayor Gloria McCauley said the planned resurfacing and overlay of township roads was necessary after “severe weather with increased snow and freezing temperatures” took their toll on the pavement. “The aging infrastructure of our township needs to be addressed,” she said said. “It is in the best interest of the Township to pursue funding for these im-

provements.” In order to pay for the projects, the township is taking out $8.075 million in bonds. Deputy Mayor Doug Tomson said the township determined how much to borrow was based on the state’s two-percent tax levy cap and how to keep annual costs within that limit. Pointing to the township’s AA+ credit bond rating, Committeeman Frank DelCore touted the governing body’s focus on “fiscal responsibility” as the main reason why it was able to borrow the

funds. “By being judicious in what we’ve done with our budgets, our spend levels and debt levels, it affords us the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunities to take on some debt when it’s needed,” DelCore said. “It’s certainly a significant amount of money, but we have a significant amount of roads that need to be done. Trying to do it out of a normal budget process, given our cap limitations, becomes unfeasible at times.”

Looking back over the last decade, McCauley said the township has repaved 14 roads stretching 20.33 miles. In that same amount of time, she said Hillsborough has regularly conducted “an extensive chip sealing program which enhances the longevity of the roadway” on more than 20 miles of road. With an average of $330,000 spent over the last 11 years through state Department of Transportation grants and mu-

Businesses participate in inaugural Restaurant Week By Andrew Martins Managing Editor

Residents and foodies hungry for new experiences in Hillsborough will get a prime opportunity to do just that when the Hillsborough Business Association (HBA) serves as the host to the first-ever Hillsborough Restaurant Week. Until Sunday, 30 restaurants throughout Hillsborough will serve up delectable selections from their menus for the special occasion. David Kois, the township’s business advocate, said the newly minted program reflects a growing trend in other municipalities that host similar events. “I’ve been going to restaurant weeks for some time,” Kois said. “We really wanted to create an initiative that really lets the businesses do what they do and to let them be the stars…so we started thinking about this as something we could do to try to promote the business community.” Throughout the nearly weeklong event, prix fixe dishes will range between $25 to $35 per person, with each offering largely consisting of three courses. Participating restaurants that don’t have a prix fixe menu, will offer discounted specials, instead. “Our executive chef Tony Papoutsis has been to a million restaurant weeks and when he started here three years ago, he was kind of hoping that the town would do one,” Madeline Reilly, manager of The Landing, said. “This was his wish all along.” Like other locations throughout Hillsborough, Reilly said The Landing will offer two prix fixe options - a $25 three-course lunch and a $35 three-course dinner. “We’re hoping that people can see the kind of things our chef does and hopefully people who haven’t been to our restaurant come to check it out,” Reilly said. Hillsborough’s take on restaurant week will also cater to the township’s casual lunch and breakfast restaurants and their

patrons. In addition to the local fare, township officials reached out to some of the larger chain restaurants to participate as well. National franchises like IHOP and Applebee’s are also involved in this year’s event. “We didn’t want anybody to feel excluded. Our goal was to make everyone feel like they could be a part of this,” Pamela Borek, the township clerk, said. “Everything else is pretty much home-bred places. It’s really up to what you’re interested in when it comes to food.” Ultimately, Kois said he was optimistic about this week, since it fits within the overall strategy that the HBA employs to “think of different ways to get the word out” to make the township “a more business-friendly place.” “The idea is that some of these places can expand who’s going there,” Kois said. “It gives both visitors and residents the chance to check out places they haven’t tried or go to their favorite place. It’s all about options.” The following establishments are participating in the Hillsborough Restaurant Week: Bombay Wok, 438 Route 206; Shakes ‘n’ Scoops, 438 Route 206; The Landing, 311 Amwell Road; Damiani’s Oven, 220 Triangle Road #230; The Falafel House, Town Center One 411 Route 2063; Super Sundaes, 435 Amwell Road #3; Basilico Trattoria, 340 South Branch Road #426; Caffe Piazza, 649 Route 206; Royce Brook, 201 Hamilton Road; Tender Lovin’ Grill, 415 Amwell Road #101; Ama Pizza e Cucina, 236 South Branch Road; IHOP, 260 Route 206; Mariana’s Pizzeria, 381 Triangle Road; Petrock’s Bar & Grille, 419 Amwell Road; Joe’s Family Pizzeria & Restaurant, 856 Route 206; Saladworks, 30 Falcon Road; Alfonso’s Gourmet Pizza & Pasta Shop, 411 Route 206; Moe’s Southwest Grill, 838 Route 206; Old Man Refferty’s, 284 Route 206; Ricky’s Thai, 649 Route 206; Culinary Creations, 434 Route 206; Applebee’s, 315 Route 206 #300; Cafe Brio, 220 Triangle Road Suite 225; Big Heads, 315 Route 206; Family Mexican Grill Restaurant, 378 South Branch Road; Hillsborough Star Diner Restaurant, 842 Route 206; Jumbo Palace, 424 Route 206; Catered Affair, 424 Route 206; Victor’s Pizza, 450 Amwell Road #1; and Sweetberry Bowls, 649 Route 206 Unit 1B.

Businessman honored for supporting township police department K-9 unit By Andrew Martins Managing Editor

A longtime supporter of the Hillsborough Township Police Department and his wife were recently recognized and made “honorary police officers” for their contributions to the law enforcement agency’s canine unit. During the Aug. 14 township committee, Dr. Caesar DePaço, founder and CEO of Summit Nutritionals International, and his wife, Deanna Padovani-DePaço, were joined by nearly a dozen police officers, Chief Darren Powell and former police chief Chief

Paul Kaminsky as they were feted for their contributions. Since 2013, the Azorean businessman and his family have worked to provide nearly 70 police dogs to various law enforcement agencies throughout the country. The Hillsborough Township Police Department was the first agency to receive his assistance. “I met Dr. DePaço formally about two years ago. Upon first meeting him, it became clear what a champion he was for law enforcement…His generosity is well known throughout the state and I don’t know anybody who’s

been more of a champion for law enforcement than him,” Powell said. The DePaço family originally provided a Belgian Malinois named Kondro to take over for Raider, a German Shepherd who retired that year after five years on the force. Since their initial contribution, the family has paid for all services and equipment needed for the police department’s fourlegged officers, including a sports utility vehicle outfitted for the canine unit. Officials said the family

nicipal funding, McCauley estimated this new project “would have taken over 25 years at the current spending level.” Officials said they wanted to act now, rather than wait for roads to get worse. One reason, according to Committeeman Carl Suraci, was an effort to lock costs in at today’s value, Asince costs are anticipat-

ed to go up in the coming years. “It’s best to try to get these costs incurred now than later because there are pressures on those cost drivers that are not going to make it any cheaper to do this,” Suraci said. “It’s best to preserve these roads, because if we do allow them to get to a certain state, it will be a significantly higher cost to do a full repaving

of those roads.” While the township only has the ability to address its own roadways, McCauley said the municipality plans to reach out to the state and county to improve the roads under their jurisdiction. A public hearing and final vote on the proposed ordinance will take place at the next township committee meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 11.

So far, the Study Hull has hosted field trips for about 700 students and ecology cruises for another 200 people. It’s staffed largely by volunteers, mostly retired teachers and high school students from Morris County’s Academy for Environmental Science. The Study Hull isn’t the only floating classroom in New Jersey. In a state bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, Hudson River, Delaware River and Delaware Bay, there’s a long history of encouraging an interest in ecology and protecting the environment by getting people on the water. Here are some of New Jersey’s other floating classrooms: • The Delaware River Steamboat floating classroom operates from a dock in Lambertville, Hunterdon County. It’s called “SPLASH,” which stands for Student Participation in Learning Aquatic Science & History. Students aboard SPLASH learn about the Delaware watershed and ways to protect it, the importance of “river critters” (macroinvertebrates), the

chemistry of the river and the balance needed to sustain life, and the environmental history of the Delaware River. • A longtime favorite in northern New Jersey are the pontoon boat tours offered by the Hackensack Riverkeeper. Captain Bill Sheehan started EcoCruises in 1994 to increase public awareness of the lower Hackensack River as a vital natural resource. Since then, more than 50,000 people have cruised through the Meadowlands - places most often viewed from cars on the New Jersey Turnpike. The amazing variety of wildlife is best seen from the water. • The restored oyster schooner A.J. Meerwald – the state’s official tall ship – is docked mainly at the Bayshore Center at Bivalve on the Delaware Bay in Cumberland County. The Center’s mission is to inspire people to take care of the history, the culture and the environment of the Bayshore region. The A.J. Meerwald offers special summer camps and cruises aimed at connecting chil-

dren with the environment. • On the Hudson River, the famous sloop Clearwater’s environmental mission provides educational sails for kids and adults. Folk singer and activist Pete Seeger launched the Clearwater in 1969 to clean up the Hudson River, and it has become a flagship for environmental education. The Clearwater sails from several Hudson River ports, including Alpine in Bergen County. • In the Great Egg Harbor in Atlantic County, a fishing boat called the Duke O Fluke offers weekly ecotours with a naturalist from the Wetlands Institute. In the fall, the Duke O Fluke has special raptor cruises on the Great Egg Harbor River in search of resident bald eagles, hawks, ospreys and falcons. For an on-deck experience learning about the ecology of New Jersey’s rivers, lakes, bays and ocean, try a trip in a floating classroom. The fresh air and sunshine are relaxing and the lessons are unforgettable. To learn about the new

COLLEGE CONNECTION

Princeton University named top school Just this month, Money Magazine released its rankings of “The Best 25 Colleges in the U.S. Right Now.” In compiling its rankings, they considered criteria in three specific areas: educational quality, affordability and alumni financial success. For the

third straight year, Princeton University was number one. No other college in New Jersey made the list, although one did in Pennsylvania (University of Pennsylvania) and one in New York (CUNY Bernard Baruch College). Princeton continuously stands out for its academic excellence, its outstanding financial aid program (which is much more generous than that of most other schools), and its success in producing graduates who snag competitive, high-paying jobs soon after leaving the renowned ivy-covered campus. The statistics that garnered top honors for Princeton include an estimated price tag of $19,000 with average aid for the 2018-19 academic year. That figure includes room and board, fees, $7,500 median student debt and $69,800 annual early-career earnings. Money is not the only magazine singing Princeton’s praises. For the past

seven years, U.S. News and World Report has bestowed top honors on Princeton University in its “Best Colleges” rankings. The U.S. News rankings also focus on academic excellence, with particular emphasis on outcomes such as freshman retention and graduation rates. Freshman retention rate is the percent of college students who return to the school for their sophomore year. Every college loses a few students, for a variety of reasons. But a low retention rate should raise a red flag. New Jersey colleges with a high freshman retention rate, in addition to Princeton, include The College of New Jersey, Rutgers University (New Brunswick) and Stevens Institute of Technology. Graduation rates are also a key factor in college rankings. But here the numbers can be a bit misleading. For its rankings, U.S. News considers the percent of students who gradu-

ate within six years – not four, which is what many college-bound students and their parents typically budget for and expect. When students are deciding which college to attend, they should take into account the criteria used by Money and U.S. News and evaluate for each the academic reputation, cost of attendance (after scholarships are applied), and likelihood of success, based on statistics from recent graduates as well as longtime alumni.

ichie “La Bamba” Rosenberg and his band, La Bamba and the Hubcaps, paid a call to the Morristown Jazz & Blues Festival at the Morristown Greene on a summer afternoon in August. Rosenberg, who is known for his exceptional skill for playing the trombone, came to play Aug. 18, and he rocked back and forth with the nine-foot piece of brass nestled onto his left shoulder. “We love working and coming here and putting smiles on people’s faces,” Rosenberg said. “That’s what we really enjoy. We like to get the people really excited and enjoying what we enjoy. Fun. That’s what it’s all about, you know? It’s beautiful that the weather cleared up, and we’re here to party.” Rosenberg, who has been a part of Conan O’Brien’s Big Band for about 25 years, has also toured with legends such as Diana Ross, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, and Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Rosenberg began playing the trombone many years ago when his junior high school music director loaned him a school trombone for the summer in hopes he would play for the school band. “Their trombone section was going to get a little light with students graduating and they basically said to me, ‘Here. Take this over the summer,’ and handed me a trombone,” he said. “I was just given the trombone and have been playing it since.” Rosenberg credited a lot of his musical success to his school growing up and felt they were pretty big motivators in his career. “I went through the Philadelphia school system growing up, and they had a great music program and great music director, Leroy Evans,” he said. “I had a great trombone teacher, Brian Pastor, who plays in the Philly Pops, and so there was some great influence there.” Growing up in a household full of musicians, Rosenberg was always surrounded by performers. But it wasn’t until he started to play the trombone that Rosenberg began

to really listen to music. “My family was a great influence to me, as well,” he said. “My parents both knew how to play piano, they could sing, too. My sister was very musical, too. But when my parents got divorced, my stepfather was an avid jazz fan and he said, ‘Let’s get you some records,’ and I started listening to J.J. Johnson. I went out and bought every J.J. Johnson album I could find.” Eventually after years of listening to jazz, as well as years of playing the trombone, Rosenberg was offered a spot with Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. “I joined the Asbury Jukes in ’76,” he said. “I really didn’t know too much about any of their scene. I came in kind of cold, but it didn’t take too long to fall into place. I was the only trombone player that had been in The Jukes. It was a great experience. It was an eye-opening experience, or ear-opening experience, with Johnny being the record collector that he is. He knows a lot, he’s a real historian and that helped to build a lot of ideas.” Rosenberg, along with the band, started to play at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park and really started to build a library of songs.

COVER STORY

by Ken Downey Jr.

‘Blithe Spirit’ is a success at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey

he longest running show on the West End in London made its way across the Atlantic Ocean and landed at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey in Madison. “Blithe Spirit,” a play by Noël Coward, was written in only six days after Coward was fleeing his London office after it was being bombed in 1941 in the midst of World War II. Now, almost 80 years later, Coward’s play is still shown throughout the world. Set in London, novelist Charles Condomine (Brent Harris) invites a clairvoyant, Madame Arcati (Tina Stafford), to his home for a dinner party with his wife Ruth (Kate MacCluggage) and another couple, Dr. Bradman (Ames Adamson) and his wife (Monette Magrath). Condomine claims he invites Madame Arcati over to gain information on her, as well as her abilities, for an upcoming novel he is writing. However, it is clear Condomine doesn’t believe in her abilities, like the other dinner guests, and they just want to poke fun at the woman who they believe is a loon. When Madame Arcati performs her séance in the Condomine’s home, she collapses; and all appears normal, like nothing even has occurred. The Bradmans eventually return home, after Dr. Bradman helps Charles get Madame Arcati to wake. She leaves, as well, but not before making it a point to note she feels something is different from before she performed her séance. Now alone in their house, Charles and Ruth begin to retire for the evening. But when Charles’ first wife Elvira (Susan Maris), who died seven years earlier, appears, he believes he is going insane. Downing brandy after brandy, Charles tries to make the apparition go away. When he tries to tell current wife Ruth what is going on, she believes he is trying to play a trick on her.

‘So far, in my time 10 weeks - covering productions for TimeOFF, this has been my absolute favorite.’

Pictured (left to right): Ames Adamson as Mr. Bradman, Brent Harris as Charles, Tina Stafford as Madame Arcati, Monette Magrath as Mrs. Bradman, and Kate MacCluggage as Ruth.

Realizing only he can see and hear Elvira, he tries to tell her to return from whence she came. Not knowing how she appeared herself, Elvira has fun running around the Condomine home and playing with her former husband. Ruth tries to talk with her husband, but his attention is only on the apparition. Yelling at Elvira to leave, Ruth thinks he means her and goes to bed in anger. Now falling asleep on the couch, with the help of a few more glasses of brandy, Charles is convinced Elvira is really back. The next morning, Charles wakes to no sign of Elvira at all. He believes it was all in his head and is in a cheery mood. Ruth, who is still in mad over their argument from the night prior, listens to Charles as he tries to tell her once again he really did see his former wife, but now she is gone. Eventually appearing again, Elvira toys with Charles once more and again

Ruth is getting angry with him. Charles tries to convince his current wife to believe his former wife is quite possibly there, and Ruth begins to believe Charles is actually seeing something. Not an apparition, but a hallucination. Ruth, now patronizing her husband, tries to get him to lay down. Charles, who is getting angry himself, wants nothing more than Ruth to believe him. Finally, Charles convinces Elvira to move things throughout the house, and the first act closes with Ruth petrified by the existence of the apparition in her home. Blithe Spirit was brilliant! So far, in my time - 10 weeks - covering productions for TimeOFF, this has been my absolute favorite. The play is hilarious, witty and entertaining. Every actor in the play is sincere and I could not find one single error throughout the entire production. It was such a fun eve-

ning, and I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a night out at the theater. Honorable Mentions: Tina Stafford as Madame Arcati was the best part of the show! Every time she entered the stage she was met by anticipation from the audience as to what whacky thing she would do next. From dancing around the room to collapsing on the floor, Stafford truly embodied Coward’s vision as to what Madame Arcati should be. It was such a pleasure to watch. Susan Maris as Elvira was also a joy. The whimsical ghost swept across the stage in her white gown and flowing shawl. Her spunky attitude was fun to watch as she clashed with Kate MacCluggage’s Ruth, who was very stern. Kate MacCluggage as Ruth brought a sophisticated view to the show. Her severe but witty attitude was enjoyable, and MacCluggage was a great part of the show.

‘Blithe Spirit,’ continues at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey, 36 Madison Ave. Madison, through September 2. www.shakespearenj.org. 973-408-5600.

Princeton Summer Theatre closes out season

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2018 7:30 PM

he Baltimore Waltz closed the curtain on the Princeton Summer Theater’s 2018 season. The cast of three put on a final and fitting performance, which was held on Aug. 19. Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel in response to the AIDS crisis, “The Baltimore Waltz” follows two siblings, Anna and Carl, as they travel through Europe as a last attempt to live life to its fullest. The play opens with Carl (Sean Peter Drohan), who is clearly an openly gay man, telling the children who he reads to at a public library in San Francisco that he has been fired from his job and will be leaving at the end of the week. It is vague as to why he has been fired, but he is wearing a pink triangle on the top left of his shirt, a sign that was used to identify any homosexual individual in Nazi Germany. As an arts-and-crafts lesson in the library, Carl attempts to get the children to all cut out pink triangles from scrap paper. Carl is then asked to leave on the spot. But when his sister Anna (Abby Melick) contracts the incurable ATD (Acquired Toilet Disease) from one of the restrooms at the public elementary school she teaches at, she and Carl make their way to Europe to make sure Anna can see the world one last time. Anna, who feels that she has wasted her 30-year life being a “good girl,” wants to sleep her way through the continent as she feels she should direct her life through lust. Evan Gedrich, who plays a plethora of roles including The Doctor, The Third Man, Garçon, The Little Dutch Boy and many more, shares a bed with Anna on multiple occasions throughout the production, but not always as the same man. Carl, who claims an old friend lives in Europe and may have a black-market drug for his sister, races from country to country trying to find a cure for his dying sibling. In the end, the play was actually taking place in the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, where Carl is dying

of AIDS and Anna is imagining the trip the two of them had dreamed of taking but never actually did. Paula Vogel wrote this play after her own brother, Carl, had died of AIDS-related complications in 1988. When Carl Vogel was diagnosed with AIDS, Paula “was seized by panic that someday [she] would have to use the past tense to speak about Carl.” But after writing “The Baltimore Waltz,” and naming the male lead after her brother, Paula Vogel “rediscovered something about theater that [she] had once known but forgotten…. In the theater, characters are always living in the present moment, with an ever-impending future right up until the curtain falls. Carl would be in the present tense for as long as the play is read or performed.” Nico Krell, the director of Princeton Summer Theater’s production of “The Baltimore Waltz,” left this note to audiences in regard to Paula Vogel: “When Paula Vogel wrote ‘The Baltimore Waltz’ in 1989, she did not set out to encapsulate all of this multifaceted international epidemic. Instead, she sat in the hallway of Johns Hopkins Hospital, waiting for her brother Carl’s imminent death, pouring all of the confusion, remorse, hope and loss experienced waiting in that hallway into a play. What resulted is a deeply human story of a sister losing a part of her soul – her brother.”

“We started building our library,” he said. “It was all cover stuff. Eventually we got into original stuff, but it’s the cover stuff that people really seemed to enjoy out of us.” Rosenberg has toured with Bruce Springsteen, as well, and even played the trombone for Springsteen at the Super Bowl XLIII half time show in 2009 in Tampa. The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Arizona Cardinals in that game, 27-23. “I was with Bruce for a long time,” he said. “From the first rehearsal that I came into, it was a family back there. I knew Bruce from the first day that I joined The Jukes, and I ended up touring with him. That was incredible recording and touring with him.” Rosenberg who formed, La Bamba and the Hubcaps in the mid-1980s, also formed a Big Band consisting of 18 pieces. “I have this 18-piece big band,” Rosenberg said. “It has 13 horns, and it’s basically The Hubcaps with the 13 horns added on to

THINGS TO DO it. Occasionally, we would do some shows where Johnny or Bruce would come out and join us, and I started making that a big deal for me because I love to orchestrate.” Since he was in high school, Rosenberg has always loved to write his own music. “I’d get the pencil out and I’d write on the score pad, and I have this great library of stuff that I love to try out,” he said. Eventually Johnny Lyon, a.k.a. Southside Johnny, asked Rosenberg to do a Tom Waits album, as well as asking him to score the whole thing himself. “The album is called, ‘Grapefruit Moon: The Songs of Tom Waits,” Rosenberg said. “We put it out on CD and critics loved it. It’s really one of my proudest moments. It has to be between that and the Super Bowl. That was a huge experience for me to have that all recorded and presented. To make that even more special, Johnny and the band came on Conan and we performed one of the songs live. To be a member of the house band and to have my band on that same show, it doesn’t get any better than that.”

Pam Hersh

Princeton advises to Revise Your Ride

he single life can be a desireable lifestyle, but a single-occupied vehicle has major drawbacks, in my opinion – that of a lifelong mass transit and shared transit advocate. The shiny sports car that transported only one person to work does little good for the employee, employer, the local community and society at large. Princeton University for the past decade has been working to curb their employees’ love affair with their cars when it comes to commuting to work in a single-occupied vehicle. Kim Jackson, Princeton University director of TigerCard Services, Transportation and Parking Services, works as a transportation matchmaker, finding employees alternate ways of getting to work. She oversees a Commuter Concierge program to provide personalized commute plans to make it even easier for its employees to leave their cars at home. The university kicked into a higher gear in the fall of 2017 with the implementation of the Revise Your Ride alternative commuting initiative that made it into the news again a few weeks ago, when the Greater Mercer Transportation Management Association (GMTMA), in its summer newsletter, featured Priceton University for its efforts. GMTMA is a non profit, public private partnership dedicated to promoting and providing transportation choices that are designed to reduce congestion, improve mobility, increase safety and further sustainability in the region. The GMTMA’s mission resonates completely with the intent of Princeton University’s transportation program, according to Jackson. “Decreasing the number of cars that drive to campus is part the University’s ongoing efforts to cut carbon dioxide emissions, reduce local air pollution and improve traffic,” she said. Princeton originally initiated its campaign to cut the number of cars on campus in 2009, by providing several benefits: an extensive shuttle program (with real-time tracking), on-campus food service locations (no need to drive someplace for lunch); pretax payroll deductions to help with commuting costs for employees; subsidies on

monthly transit passes; and preferred parking spots for vehicles providing car-pooling and van-pooling services. Nine months ago, Princeton University put more resources into the commuter-alternatives by launching Revise Your Ride, which expanded its existing commute benefits program to also include a cash incentive for biking or walking and free monthly passes for NJ Transit bus riders. More than 1,000 employees now participate in an alternative commuting program, including 600 members who signed up since October. According to Jackson, Revise Your Ride participants over the last six months have:

• saved almost 10,000 gallons of gas • reduced 200,000 pounds of carbon emissions • avoided driving enough to cross the country 110 times • avoided $30,000 in gas and maintenance costs. As many in Princeton know, I personally prefer feet to wheels, and when I worked at Princeton University, I had the glorious ability and priviledge to walk to work. No one had to bribe me with anything other than an occasional bag of Cheetos.

A mini stroke may be a warning sign

Did you know that according to the American Stroke Association, people who have severe strokes often report having earlier warning signs? In fact, among patients who are treated for a blockage-related stroke (called an ischemic stroke) up to 40 percent report experiencing a mini-stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) first, according to the American Stroke Association. That’s why it is important to recognize the symptoms of a mini-stroke and seek prompt medical attention even if the symptoms last only a few minutes. At Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center, designated by the State of New Jersey as a Primary Stroke Center, specially trained acute stroke teams are available 24/7 to diagnose stroke. As a Primary Stroke Center, PMC maintains neurology and Emergency Department personnel trained in the diagnosis and treatment of acute stroke, as well as acute rehabilitation services for patients. A Temporary Blockage A transient ischemic attack is a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain caused by a clot that disappears on its own or gets dislodged so that it stops causing symptoms. Because the blockage is brief, blood flow is restored quickly, leaving no lasting damage to the brain. However, a TIA is a warning sign that can indicate the likelihood of a full-blown stroke in the future. As the American Stroke Association reports, about a third of the people who experience a TIA go on to have a severe stroke within a year. A TIA is often the result of a buildup of cholesterol-containing fatty deposits called plaques (atherosclerosis) in an artery or one of its branches that supplies oxygen and nutrients to the brain. These plaques can decrease the amount of blood flowing through the artery or cause a clot to develop. While anyone can experience a TIA, certain factors can increase your risk, including:

Paul Kaiser, M.D.

• Family history of TIA and stroke • Being over the age of 55 • Prior mini-strokes • Smoking • Obesity • High blood pressure • High cholesterol • Diabetes • Heart or blood vessel disorder

Watch for These Symptoms Symptoms of a mini-stroke are the same as a full-blown stroke and may include sudden onset of: • Weakness, numbness or paralysis of the face, arm or leg, usually on one side • Slurred or garbled speech • Difficulty comprehending language • Double visions or loss of vision in one or both eyes • Dizziness or loss of concentration • Severe headache

Though these symptoms may resolve quickly, proper medical evaluation is needed to determine whether you have had a TIA, a stroke or another medical problem and whether treatment is needed. If you

Continued from Page 14B experience symptoms of a TIA or stroke, call 9-1-1 and seek immediate medical care. Diagnosis and Treatment In diagnosing a TIA or stroke, doctors will take a complete medical history and perform a physical and neurological exam. Diagnostic imaging tests such as an MRI may be ordered to determine the location and extent of brain injury, if any. Treatment for a TIA generally focuses on prevention. Certain medications may be prescribed to help reduce the tendency of blood to clot. In some situations, surgery may be recommended to clear arteries from fatty deposits before another TIA or a stroke can occur. In the case of a full-blown stroke, one of the most important treatments is a drugcalled t-PA (tissue plasminogen activator). However, t-PA can only be injected within three hours of the onset of symptoms. The drug can prevent lingering disabilities in patients with a certain type of stroke. Because immediate care is critical to a stroke patient’s survival and recovery, PMC is committed to having a stroke team, including specially trained physicians and registered nurses, available within 15 minutes following the diagnosis of a potential acute stroke. To help prevent TIA and stroke, the

• Preventing or controlling high blood pressure. High blood pressure is the number one risk factor for stroke. • Eating a healthy diet. Foods like fruits, vegetables, fish and whole grains can lower your risk for stroke. • Quitting smoking. Smoking is another leading risk factor for stroke. • Being physically active. Set a goal of getting 150 minutes of exercise a week. • Controlling blood sugar. Left untreated, diabetes can cause a number of health complications that can lead to stroke. • Losing weight.A healthy weight can help regulate blood pressure and control blood sugar. • Managing cholesterol. High cholesterol can lead to atherosclerosis. Remember, a TIA is often a warning sign. Heed the symptoms and seek medical attention to avoid a full-blown stroke and stay healthy. For more information about the PMC Stroke Center or to find a physician affiliated with Princeton Health, call 888.742.7496 or visit www.princetonhcs. org. Paul Kaiser, M.D., is certified in clinical neurophysiology, neurology and vascular neurology. He is a member of the Penn Medicine Princeton Health medical staff.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED The Spirit of Princeton invites members of the community to join the team of volunteers who now produce three popular and patriotic town events. Those events are the Memorial Day Parade (the Saturday before Memorial Day), the Flag Day Commemoration (June 14) and the Veterans’ Day Ceremony (Nov. 11). The basic requirements are enthusiasm and a willingness to pitch in. In addition to help on the day of the celebrations, the organization will use the special talents (marketing, computer, organizational, fundraising, financial) of the volunteer to help with the planning and implementing process. The time commitment over the course of a year is probably no more than 20 hours. A charitable non-profit group of local residents dedicated to bringing the community

together through the above-mentioned civic events, the Spirit of Princeton became operational 21 years ago and is led by Mark Freda and Kam Amizarfari. The recently deceased Ray Wadsworth, who founded the organization with Herb Hobler, led the organization until his death, a few days after the 2018 Memorial Day Parade. Over the years, thousands of individuals of all ages from throughout the greater Princeton area have enjoyed honoring active duty, retired and deceased military service men and women, who put their lives on the line to protect everyone living in the United States and America’s democratic values. Anyone interested in contributing to of the Spirit of Princeton with some sweat equity (financial support also appreciated) please contact Mark Freda at email mark@16fisher.com.

Treatment in as Few as 5 SESSIONS vs. 40 CONVENTIONAL SESSIONS

Dr. Timothy Chen

Nearly one in six American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. At Capital Health’s Cancer Center, a multidisciplinary team helps men return to active and productive lives using state-of-the-art technology and advanced treatment options. One of these, CyberKnife® Robotic Radiosurgery, is an outpatient procedure that safely treats prostate cancer patients in as few as five treatments with minimal to no side effects. Other conventional radiation therapy options can take up to 40 treatment sessions and have greater risk for side effects. Capital Health was the 30th provider in the United States (third in New Jersey) to offer CyberKnife® as a treatment option for cancers located anywhere in the body. In the 11 years since introducing CyberKnife® at Capital Health Cancer Center, the team has treated more than 1,300 patients with cancerous and noncancerous tumors.

A STUDY IN SURVIVAL Experienced radiation oncologists and their team at Capital Health have participated in an eight-year national study (in association with Accuray, manufacturer of CyberKnife®) documenting their experience and outcomes in treating prostate cancer with CyberKnife®. In addition, between August 2008 and August 2016, 75 men were treated for prostate cancer with CyberKnife® alone. Patients defined as low-risk and intermediate-risk participated in this retrospective quality study. Overall, CyberKnife® achieved a 97 percent survival rate. Prostate specific antigens (PSA), a protein produced exclusively by prostate cells, is one of several factors that are measured to determine Dr. Shirnett Williamson successful treatment. In general, a higher PSA level indicates a greater likelihood of prostate cancer. All except four men in the Capital Health study had a decrease in their PSA from their initial reading. At three years, 91 percent had PSA numbers that were consistent with national guidelines for healthy levels. In addition, 71 percent of the men seen at their last follow up visit maintained their pre-treatment sexual function, and 72 percent maintained at five years. This is a higher rate of potency preservation when comparing to other prostate cancer treatment modalities. “CyberKnife® has proven to be compatible to other prostate cancer treatment modalities, and our experience is consistent with this observation,” said Dr. Shirnett Williamson, medical director of Radiation Oncology Services at Capital Health Cancer Center. “In addition to being recommended for low- and intermediate-risk patients, CyberKnife® is an option to more advanced prostate cancer patients to boost their intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), or as a re-treatment option.” NO PAIN, ALL GAIN “Patients are amazed at how easy the treatments actually are and that there are no incisions or cuts,” said Dr. Timothy Chen, medical director of Stereotactic Radiosurgery at Capital Health Cancer Center. “CyberKnife’s flexible robotic arm enables us to access hard-to-reach areas anywhere in the body. It is continuously taking images as it rotates around the patient, guiding us as we deliver radiation directly to the tumor site with sub-millimeter accuracy. This is important because we always want to preserve healthy cells surrounding the tumor site and deliver better outcomes.” Patients can even stay in their own clothes during treatment, which provides greater comfort. Patient benefits for being treated with CyberKnife® include: • No Incisions • No Pain • No Bleeding • No Anesthesia (mild sedation only in rare cases) • No Recovery Time ADVANCED CANCER CARE For men diagnosed with prostate cancer, CyberKnife® is now a standard therapy approved by national guidelines and is approved by most insurance companies as well as Medicare. Capital Health Cancer Center, located at Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell, is the area’s most advanced provider of cancer treatment delivered by some of the most experienced medical experts. For more information or to find out if you are a candidate for CyberKnife®, call 609.303.4565 or visit capitalcyberknife.com.
