Hillsborough Parks and Recreation Department creates Home for the Holidays Decorating Contest By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer
The Hillsborough Township Parks and Recreation Department is putting a new spin on the holiday season in the Hillsborough community this year. Twenty four homes across the community will be participating in a house decorating contest called Hillsborough Township Home for the Holidays, where people decorate their houses in any way to showcase their holi-
day spirit for residents to drive around and see. Residents will be able to submit one vote for two of their favorite houses and the winner will receive a $250 TD Bank gift card. The activity was the idea of Administrative Assistant Annette Henderson, who had seen other towns around the area doing a similar event for the holiday season and for Halloween. “This is a safe activity people can do from their cars and some-
thing fun to do,” Henderson said. Henderson hopes the event can help spread “positive vibes” around the community during these tough times because of the coronavirus pandemic. Each participant had creative control of decorating their home, being able to use any assortment of lights and props on their property for the event. Christmas, Hanukkah and all holidays were welcomed to be celebrated in the decorating process, added Henderson.
“It’s been nice to see all the cool displays our residents have done,” Henderson said. The recreation department has set up an interactive map link on its website for residents to see which homes are participating in the event and to map out a route to see all the houses. There is also a link for people to cast their votes on the website. All voting ends on Dec. 20. Second and third place winners will receive rewards from either Bella Pizza or Norz Hill
Farm. Both establishments are sponsoring the event. Henderson said the township does plan on running the event again next year. The department will announce the winners through its social media platforms on Dec. 21. Mayor Doug Tomson will present the winning household with a lawn sign to put in front of their home on Dec. 22.

President signs Smith’s outdoor therapy veterans legislation into law
SUBSCRIBE 732-254-7004
Legislation authored by U.S. Congressman Chris Smith (RNJ) to help veterans of the armed forces heal through outdoor recreational therapy has been signed into law by President Donald Trump. Smith’s bipartisan Accelerating Veterans Recovery Outdoors Act, which was endorsed by more than 120 veteran service organizations, outdoor recreation groups and conservation organizations, will provide increased access to federal lands for the purposes of veterans’ medical recovery therapy, according to a press release from the congressman’s office. Smith’s bill, which was co-
sponsored by 136 bipartisan lawmakers, was included in a package of veterans’ legislation, the Veterans’ COMPACT Act, which passed unanimously in the House of Representatives in September and was passed unanimously by the Senate in November. Trump recently signed the legislation into law. “Research has shown that outdoor recreation can be an effective form of treatment, rehabilitation and healing for veterans,” said Smith, who is the author of the Veterans Health Programs Improvement Act and 13 other veterans laws. “While many nonprofit organizations, veteran service orga-
nizations and private companies have used the outdoors to help heroes heal, providing greater coordination among key federal agencies will open new opportunities for veterans on public lands and other outdoor spaces,” said Smith, who has twice served as chair of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee. The new law will require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish an interagency task force on the use of public lands to provide medical treatment and therapy to veterans through outdoor recreation, according to the press release. After undertaking a comprehensive analysis, the task force
will submit recommendations to Congress, within one year, on how to eliminate barriers and provide more public outdoor space for use by the nation’s veterans. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs’ National Center for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), between 11% and 20% of veterans who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, 12% of those who served in Desert Storm have PTSD in a given year, and 30% of those who served in Vietnam, will have had PTSD in their lifetime. During House debate, Smith recounted how one combat
wounded veteran who served in Iraq and was suffering from severe depression, anxiety and PTSD responded to outdoor therapy. Smith said the veteran made three visits to Veterans Administration psychiatric wards and a substance abuse rehabilitation facility, but said it was a backpacking trip led by the Sierra Club that changed his perspective. Smith quoted the veteran’s own words: “When the depression, anxiety and everything else that comes with PTSD creeps back into my life, I know just what to do: Strap on a pack and get outside.’’
Belle Mead Co-Op celebrates 100 years of farming history The Belle Mead Co-Op was recognized by the Hillsborough Township Council for its 100th anniversary. Incorporated on Oct. 4, 1920, a group of local farmers got together to sell their hay and grain,
forming “The Club,” according to a proclamation presented on Dec. 8. The co-op operates out of the original store and office built in the 1950s at 100 Township Line Road in Hillsborough, and spans
more than 10 acres of land. Belle Mead Co-Op originally served as a hay press powered by horses in the cellar. Today, the coop continues as a working feed mill for animals as well as a supplier of lawn, landscape, nursery

Montgomery Charity Foundation raises $19K for Somerset County families Montgomery Charity Foundation (MCF) ran its annual Kidsgiving event, raising more than $19,000 for charity. Kidsgiving, MCF’s flagship event, was held on Dec. 6 in Hillsborough as a socially-distanced drive-by event this year due to the COVID pandemic. Each year the foundation selects a local nonprofit to be the recipients of the event’s fundraising efforts. This year’s beneficiary was Steps-Together, a Hillsborough-based 501c3 founded by Courtney Newman that supports Somerset County families facing medical crises like childhood cancer. About $14,000 in cash, gifts and gift cards were collected to fulfill the Steps-Together families’ holiday wish lists, according to a statement prepared by MCF. Due to the current situation of food insecurity and dire needs of the area food banks, they decided to not only collect gifts but to also support the local food pantries with a food drive. In all, over 1,000 food items were collected by residents and local scout troops totaling over $5,000 in value,
community to give back to other children who are in need. More than two dozen local businesses and the Montgomery teachers union (MTEA) partnered with Montgomery Charity Foundation to sponsor this year’s event which included a visit from Santa Claus and the Elf on the Shelf. Approximately 100 cars took part in the 2-hour drive-by event dropping their donations off while the MCF board members gave goodie bags and played holiday favorites. This was MCF’s most successful Kidsgiving event to date, raising a grand total of over $19,000 for the local community, according to the statement.

D&R Greenway Land Trust releases new video featuring Babe Ruth’s granddaughter Little Leaguers and their families will be inspired by watching D&R Greenway’s latest video “Fields of Dreams” featuring sports and the outdoors in the starring role. Linda Ruth Tosetti, granddaughter of legendary home-run hitter Babe Ruth, tells personal stories about the Babe’s early life and how he became motivated to become a baseball player. “My grandfather looked up to Father Mathais, a mountain of a man, and Babe stood head and shoulders over the other kids,” Tosetti said in a prepared statement regarding her grandfather’s mentor at a Catholic school. Viewers are treated to historic photos of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor from Babe Ruth’s youth. Sports fans will hear the story of how he learned to throw. The video begins with D&R Greenway trustee James Fiorentino, an artist who has painted many of baseball’s legendary players. Fiorentino was the youngest artist ever to have his art featured in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, when he was only 15 years of age. Having begun his sports art career with Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams, Fiorentino became a college baseball player himself, according to the statement. He talks about the connection he feels to the land while outdoors in the field, and how important this is in forming a lifelong love of nature. Since 1989, D&R Greenway has permanently protected over 21,000 acres of land in central New Jersey. Fiorentino became vice chair of the Board of Trustees of the land trust in 2019, according to the statement. Farm View Fields and Greenway Meadows parks in Princeton were both saved from housing developments and preserved in 2001 through the leadership of D&R

During the past year, D&R Greenway partnered with the Trenton Thunder baseball team at Waterfront Park in Trenton where parts of the video were filmed. “The way many, many people connect with nature and the outdoors is through the sports their children play when they are young,” Mead said in the statement. High school students from the Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund’s FUTURO program share how they feel when they are out in nature, accord-
ing to the statement. These students have worked in partnership with D&R Greenway over the past year, learning about nature’s benefits, clean water and open spaces. In contrast to being indoors during the pandemic, these students’ words about “a good lost” while outside on a wide, open field will stick with the viewer for a long time. Information on the new 7-minute video “Fields of Dreams” can be found on D&R Greenway Land Trust’s website https:// drgreenway.org/.

Greenway. These parks provide baseball and soccer fields, as well as places to walk and experience the outdoors, according to the statement. In the video, D&R Greenway’s President and CEO Linda Mead shares that being outdoors in nature cultivates creativity and calm in children who are known to have ADHD, according to the statement. The viewer learns that, in fact, Babe Ruth may have had “nature-deficit disorder,” a term coined by author Richard Louv in his book “Last Child in the Woods” published in 2005. Tosetti insists that, throughout his legendary life, her grandfather was sustained by nature. “He was a fisherman and huntsman. That’s where he got his solace,” she said in the statement.

Gynecologic Care For Every Phase of Life
F
rom adolescence through menopause and beyond, regular gynecologic care can help keep women healthy throughout their lives. And as your body changes, the care you need does too. The Adolescent Years When it comes to women’s health, the adolescent years are typically marked by two significant firsts – your first menstrual period and your first gynecologic exam. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), most girls start their periods between the ages of 12 and 13 years, but some may start earlier or later. However, girls should see a doctor if their period does not start by age 15 or if they started their period, but then it stops for more than three months. They should also see their doctor if they experience: • Heavy bleeding that soaks through a pad or tampon every one or two hours • A period that last for more than seven days • A period that comes more often than every 21 days or less than every 45 days In addition, ACOG recommends that girls should have their first gynecologic visit between the ages of 13 and 15 years. Typically, girls will not need a pelvic exam on their first visit unless they are experiencing problems such as pain or abnormal bleeding. During the first visit, the doctor will likely perform a general physical exam, and discuss any health concerns and recommended vaccinations, including vaccination against the human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States and can lead to cervical cancer later in life. The HPV vaccine – administered as a series of two or
SOLUTIONS
three shots – is recommended for girls starting between the ages of 9 and 14. As girls become sexually active, their gynecologist can talk with them about protecting against STIs and discuss options for birth control. The Reproductive Years In general, as women advance through their late teens, 20s and 30s, their focus may shift from preventing pregnancy to wanting to start a family. Today, there are more options for birth control than ever before – from condoms to hormonal patches and rings to emergency contraception. With so many choices, it is important for women to talk with their gynecologist to identify an approach that is right for them. For women who are thinking more about getting pregnant than preventing pregnancy, it is important to talk with their gynecologist about pre-conception planning and prenatal care to ensure a healthy pregnancy. It is also recommended that in addition to an annual pelvic exam, women between the ages of 21 and 29 have a Pap test every three years to screen for changes in the cervix that could lead to cancer. Women who are 30 to 65 should have a Pap test every five years. Additionally, incidents of fibroids, ovarian cysts, and other pelvic problems tend to peak between the mid-30s and mid40s. Women experiencing pain, abnormal bleeding, or trouble getting pregnant should see their gynecologist. Many conditions can be treated safely and effectively with minimally invasive procedures. Perimenopause, Menopause, and Beyond For most women, their 40s and early 50s are marked by
changes in menstruation as their ovaries stop making estrogen, the hormone that regulates the menstrual cycle. Menopause, often referred to as the change of life, is defined as the absence of a menstrual period for one year and signals the end of a woman’s childbearing years. The average age that women experience menopause is 51 years. However, changes and symptoms associated with menopause can begin years earlier during a transition phase referred to as perimenopause. During perimenopause, the amount of estrogen produced by the ovaries begins to fluctuate, which can cause symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, trouble sleeping, and weight gain. Bone loss also starts to accelerate and can lead to osteoporosis. For women experiencing symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause, gynecologists may recommend lifestyle changes, hormone therapy or a combination of the two. At the same time, as women grow older, their risk for cancer including breast, ovarian and uterine cancer also increases. Women should continue with their annual gynecologic exams, discuss their risk factors with their gynecologist, and follow the recommendations of their doctor for cancer screenings.

Inspiring personal story and example for us all
I
n this time of stress, environmental and political, TED Talks offers an inspirational, personal story in the form of a talk delivered by Brazilian photographer Sebastio Salgado. Beginning with his personal history growing up in rural Brazil, he recounts how he first studied economics before turning to photography. Born in 1944, he grew up on a farm inland and north of Rio di Janeiro. The farm was originally 50% forest and was the home to 35 families. In that time, the farmers consumed pretty much all that they grew, except for cattle which members would herd once a year, on a 45-day cattle drive to market. Sebastio left the farm when he was 15 to get a better edu-

cation. He followed that up by earning a master’s in economics in Sao Paulo and then a PhD in economics in Paris. During those years, he became an activist, and he met the woman who became his best friend, his collaborator, and his wife, Lelia Wanick Salgado. After earning his PhD, he worked for an investment bank that partnered with the World Bank on development projects. He traveled widely. But then suddenly photography “invaded� his life. It became his focus and his passion. And, as the TED Talks presentation reveals, he took numerous, strikingly beautiful and moving photos of people, their social plights, animals, and landscapes, which, taken all together, have no equal in the world of photography. A number were displayed at shows and collected into books. “Migrations� is the title of one of the most notable. While photographing in Rwanda during a period of strife, Salgado seemed to contract some incapacitating disease. He consulted a doctor in Paris, who determined that he was not sick but rather, having seen so much death in Rwanda, his emotional reaction had shut his body down. Sebastio and Lelia decided to return to the family farm in Brazil. There, they were surprised by his parents giving the farm to him – his siblings were all sisters and not interested in farming.
But the farm at this time had been stripped of trees for the purpose of food cultivation. Only half of a percent of the former tree covering remained. This had allowed the topsoil to be washed away. Sebastio saw that the land needed to be reforested. He consulted with a friend who understood land preservation. What was needed was the replanting of hundreds of thousands of trees in an effort to return the ecosystem to what it had been. This was done. The trees – several million – came back. Sebastio and Lelia decided to give the land to the people as a nation park, which they called Instituto Terra. He also returned to photography, and focused on recording both people and animals, or as he terms it, us. But now he became starkly aware of how much the world needs its trees, to absorb our ever-increasing carbon dioxide emissions and produce needed oxygen. From the 110 groups of original peoples in the Amazon to cities and countries around the world, we all need trees, in order to survive. The Salgados urge that we all must fight hard to preserve the natural world on which we depend. In Brazil, much of its forests have been destroyed. In California, the redwoods are also threatened with extinction. Forests in Spain and India have been all but eliminated.

The trial is being conducted with Synavir Corporation, a global health company that works with academia, industry and government to develop combination treatments for new viral infections. The trial — called Triple Combination Antiviral Coronavirus Therapy (TriACT) — seeks to determine whether treating people who test positive for coronavirus but who do not have symptoms or have mild symptoms with this combination will reduce the amount of virus and their chances of getting sick, according to information provided by Rutgers on Nov. 30. There are no proven treatments for COVID-19, but there is some evidence that medications used to treat other infections might also work against COVID-19, especially if they are used in combination. This three-drug combination has been shown in experimental studies to be highly effective in suppressing viral replication. Participants will be given the drug combination or a placebo. “Medications for outpatients with COVID-19 that shorten the duration of the illness, prevent the need for hospitalization and, perhaps most importantly, prevent spread of the disease

to others are a critical need that are currently missing in therapeutics,� principal investigator Jeffrey Carson, MD, a Provost at Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences and a Distinguished Professor of Medicine at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, said in the statement. The trial will assess the rate of decline in viral load in 70 people over 10 days and compare the proportion of participants who are asymptomatic and symptomatic at 10 days versus the time of onset; the frequency of the development of fever and other symptoms of COVID-19 in those who were asymptomatic at enrollment; the progression in severity of COVID-19 symptoms, including hospitalization and length of stay, admission to an intensive care unit and the number of days in the unit, and death of any cause; the severity of disease in participants who develop symptoms of COVID-19; and the side effects of the therapy compared to a placebo. It also seeks to determine whether the baseline viral load predicts response to therapy and new COVID-19 infection in household members. The trial was designed to allow the study participants to largely participate safely from home. They will visit the clinic only three times. They will receive a TriACT Study Kit, which includes the study medicine, swabbing kits and all other materials needed to complete the investigation, within 10 days, and will return to the clinic at days 14 and 28 for a status check, according to the statement. “To successfully treat life-threatening RNA viruses such as SARS-CoV-2, we believe that antiviral medicines must act on multiple, sequential points in the viral replication life cycle,“ Gregory T. Went, co-founder at Synavir, said in the statement. “We are pleased to collaborate with Dr. Carson’s team to investigate this approach to treatment of COVID-19 and potentially help improve outcomes for newly diagnosed patients.� The researchers are seeking referrals from physicians of outpatients with a SARS-CoV-2 positive test within seven days. To be eligible, patients must have been diagnosed within the previous six days, preferably within the last two days.

The new Rogue offers more attractive their new Rogue because with the all wheel drive model five drive modes are now styling – featuring a bit shorter and lowavailable: off-road, snow, standard, eco er stance.

I will leave that one to the philosophers were also upgraded giving it more adept in the crowd. But, I would have to say that ride and handling capabilities. “The all new Rogue was purposely after driving the new 2021 Nissan Rogue SL AWD for one week recently, I really en- designed to meet all the needs of today’s joyed the new look and feel of the Rogue, young families,” says Mike Colleran, seand especially had fun playing with drive nior vice president, Nissan U.S. Marketing
and Sales. “Rogue is playing to win in the midsize crossover game with the ideal mix of expressive design, advanced technology, safety, comfort and versatility.” The editors at Car and Driver seem to think the new design is an overall winner. “Historically, the Rogue has sold well against segment leaders such as Honda CRV, Mazda CX-5 and Volkswagen Tiguan,” writes Car and Driver. “But, it wasn’t as good overall, languishing far down in our rankings. With this redesign, Nissan’s money maker turns up the charm in an attempt to shake off its history of mediocrity. We think they have been relatively successful (with the redesign).” I would have to agree. After driving this new Rogue for one week, I found it to be attractive – both inside and out – comfortable, peppy with enough new pizzazz to lift it out of the hohum category into a serious segment contender. The model I drove – the SL AWD – carries a base price of $33,400. My tester added premium paint as an option for $395, $385 for a floor mat and cargo area protection package and $1,095 for destination and handling. The bottom line sticker price on my tester came in at $35,275. The Rogue is also available in the
base model S (starting at $26.745), SV ($28,425) and Platinum ($36,525). The fuel economy ratings for the new Rogue have not been released, but Nissan claims the fuel economy has been improved slightly to 29 miles per gallon overall for the all wheel drive model and up to 30 mpg for the front wheel drive Rogues. According to Car and Driver, on their 200 mile highway test drive, the new Rogue got an impressive 32 miles per gallon. The new Rogue is the first Nissan to feature the Japanese auto maker’s Nissan Safety Shield 360 technology. This new technology package includes: automatic emergency braking with pedestrian protection; blind spot warning; rear cross traffic alert; lane departure warning; high beam assist; and rear automatic braking. Also new in this Rogue is something Nissan calls its Vehicle Motion Control. This feature works in conjunction with its four wheel drive system and drive mode selector to provide a smoother more secure ride by making adjustments depending on the driver’s driving style and road conditions. Overall, the newly designed Rogue is worth checking out if you are considering purchasing or leasing a compact to midsized SUV or crossover. Peter Perrotta’s On The Road column appears weekly.

As part of its commitment to providing leading-edge care, Capital Health has announced the launch of its comprehensive, stateof-the-art Lung Center located at Capital Health Medical Center — Hopewell. The program is designed to address the need for integrated, comprehensive lung services in the region.
By Gabrielle Nierenberg Imagine sitting in the pilot seat and looking straight out to the horizon to see the blue skies and clouds. And then when you look to your right you see the Philadelphia skyline and to your left New York City the skyline. Flying is an incredible feeling. Talk about seeing the world from a different perspective. Ok, maybe you have own in a commercial plane to Florida or Utah, but there is something so unique about ying in a single engine airplane. When ying in a Cessna Skyhawk, you are seeing the world from a completely different view than on the ground or a commercial jet. The Princeton Flying School at the Princeton Airport offers an extraordinary experience of an Introductory Flying Lesson. In the beginning you will go
through a pre-ight inspection to ensure the airplane is ready for ight, as all pilots do. Then, you will spend an hour in the air with a certiďŹ ed ight instructor going over some basic maneuvers. You will even get a chance to y the airplane yourself! But do not worry; there are dual controls in the planes, so the instructor is there to assist you the entire time. When people return from their ďŹ rst Introductory Flying Lesson they are elated and often speechless. Many have said it was their dream to y a plane, and it ďŹ nally came true! This is a very special hour. Not only is this a special experience, but it counts as your ďŹ rst hour towards getting your Private Pilot’s License. Many students are inspired during their Introductory Flying Lesson to continue to study and train for
their Private Pilot’s License, while others are completely captivated by this hour and feel fulďŹ lled. Either way, ying an airplane is something very special and you have the power to be the one who makes this experience possible. An Introductory Flying Lesson is the perfect gift to give to that someone who seems to have everything and you just don’t know what to buy. What better gift than an experience of a lifetime. This holiday season struggle no more when it comes to gift giving. As long as they are tall enough to reach the pedals, they can y. Call 609-921-3100 for more information or visit us on the web at www. PrincetonFlyingSchool.com Happy ying!

LOOSE ENDS

Steve Kornacki and Ingrid Reed
Steve Kornacki and Ingrid Reed
I
n New Jersey, Steve Kornacki has achieved Bruce Springsteen rock-star status among the politically passionate and electoral nerdy set. His chinos are now as iconic as Springsteen’s denims. And Ingrid Reed, the producer of Steve’s Princeton speaking events, has the appeal among New Jersey political aficionados of a Dolly Parton at a Country Music Awards ceremony. Working far more than nine to five and often 48 hours nonstop without sleep, Kornacki, the NBC News national political correspondent, whose granular coverage of election results has earned him national acclaim, spoke on Dec. 10 at a virtual Princeton Public Library/Princeton Adult School event. “Election 2020: What’s Next,” the concluding program in Ingrid Reed’s series of educational Election 2020 seminars, attracted an astounding 646 people, many of whom live in the Princeton area, but some Zooming in from places all over North America. Furthermore, most attendees stayed till the end of the program, a few dozen submitted thoughtful questions, and everyone patiently endured delays that were due to some technical difficulties. With clarity, intelligence, and enthusiasm, Steve simply and succinctly shed light on the extraordinary complexities of the election
ria ecember
2020, and why at 3 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 4, the morning after Election Day, it really did appear that Donald Trump could have been reelected. Ingrid’s legacy involves neither her singing nor her wardrobe. A founder and board chair of NJ Spotlight and formerly the director of the NJ Project at Rutgers University’s Eagleton Institute of Politics, Reed is known for her passionate, insistent, perseverant, strategic pursuit of civics education for New Jerseyans, and is driven by her belief that education is the key to a thriving democracy. She is best known in Princeton for producing and moderating her Princeton Public Library/ Princeton Adult School programs and writing columns in various New Jersey media about state politics. I have joined the ranks of hundreds of area residents who are dedicated students at what amounts to the Ingrid Reed School of NJ Politics. Even though she has held many jobs in her life, including mother, grandmother, and wife for more than 60 years to the recently deceased former Princeton Borough Mayor Marvin Reed, educating New Jerseyans about New Jersey’s political system has remained her number one avocation. Her goal of promoting a fact-based understanding of how our democracy works also has been
very important to several of her professional roles at not only Rutgers Eagleton Institute, but also Princeton University (assistant dean of Public Affairs) and Rockefeller University (vice president for Public Affairs). Kornacki recognized Ingrid’s intense commitment to the integrity and strengthening of our political system, when he first met her in 2002. The friendship between Ingrid and Steve began when Ingrid met Steve at the News 12 New Jersey studios in Edison. Frustrated by the fact News 12 was not available to Princeton residents, Ingrid decided to watch the returns and analysis of the New Jersey election by showing up at News 12 studios and watching it on the monitors. Steve at the time was co-host of a political news series for News 12 New Jersey – right before he left to work for PoliticsNJ.com. The 2002 United States Senate election in New Jersey on Nov. 5 was considered high drama in those days – perhaps not so dramatic compared to nowadays. The contest for U.S. Senate featured former West Windsor Township Mayor Republican Douglas Forrester versus former U.S. Senator Democrat Frank Lautenberg. Sen. Lautenberg was called out of retirement five weeks before Election Day to replace Democratic incumbent Senator Robert Torricelli, who ended his campaign because of major ethics troubles. “Ingrid became one of my very favorite people,” said Steve, who acknowledged that he would do anything for Ingrid – very good news for the Princeton Public Library which now has hosted him twice in the past 11 months. Not one to rest on her laurels or to rest at all, Ingrid’s next project is what might be called an online primer on New Jersey redistricting since 2021 is the year to redraw legislative and congressional districts based on the census results. It starts with a brief reference to New Jersey’s role in shaping what the U.S. constitution says about redistricting and concludes with a description of New Jersey’s current reform version of redistricting. I do not know when or where Ingrid will be speaking on this topic, but one thing is certain – I will be there. I would like to cast my vote in favor of these virtual presentations.
As much as I adored seeing Steve in person on Jan. 8 in the library’s community room, the discussion on Dec. 10 was in fact far more democratic. The virtual event allowed for nearly 10 times the number of people to participate. And thanks to the chat function, I was even able to connect with some friends to whom I had not spoken in months. The downside to a virtual event is the lack of a post-discussion, face-to-face book signing, but Princeton’s Labyrinth Books did offer a discount to those participants who purchased the Steve Kornacki Book The Red and the Blue. And furthermore, an in-person event might have thwarted a discussion of Steve’s chinos, because of his self-effacing and seemingly easily embarrassed demeanor. Ingrid announced that Steve had donated $30,000 worth of chinos pants – that the Gap sent him as a promotion – to a Boys and Girls Club of America. “There is no silver bullet to success,” said the Boys and Girls Club of America website. It takes an army of people, a safe environment, high-quality programs and unique experiences to level the playing field for all kids. Boys & Girls Clubs don’t just do one thing, we do whatever it takes to build great futures for America’s young people.” And that includes providing professional clothing items – like Steve Kornacki chinos – to any young person striving to enter the business world. All I can say is that the Kornacki/Reed words of wisdom are a perfect fit for me.
