Harassment, bullying the focus of discussion By Frank Mustac Contributor

According to the most-recent report on harassment, intimidation and bullying in the school district, investigations revealed that only one incident was confirmed out of the six incidents logged by school officials. The confirmed case took place at Timberlane Middle School. The statistics are part of a semiannual report the state Department of Education requires on such incidents, as well as those involving violence, vandalism and substance abuse.

Speaking at the Feb. 13 board of education meeting, Anthony Suozzo, human resources director for the Hopewell Valley Regional School District, said the report covers the period from September to December 2016. Additional harassment, intimidation and bullying (HIB) incidents have been logged since the start of 2017, Souzzo said. Statistics on those cases, he said, will be made public in the next scheduled report. There were more than a dozen different incidents of substance abuse logged during the first half of the academic year, Suozzo

said. “We had 15 different incidents,” he said, “One thing I will mention about substance abuse is we do have a few individuals who are multiple offenders - first and second offenses. Although it’s 15 on the number, it’s not actually 15 different students.” Fourteen of the substance abuse incidents occurred at the Hopewell Valley Central High School, and one took place at Timberlane Middle School. One incident involving a weapon was also logged during the last four months of 2016. “That was an issue when a stu-

dent actually brought matches to school,” Souzzo said. “Because that is something that can be considered to inflict bodily harm, that’s where it came into play.” The incident involving matches took place at Hopewell Elementary School, according to the report available on the school district website. Actions taken as a result of all confirmed HIB incidents and others involving violence, vandalism or substance abuse that occurred from September to December, include four in-school suspensions issued, as well as 20 out-of-school suspensions.

The school district also issued five “other disciplinary” actions, previously described by Suozzo as “after-school detention, Wednesday extended detention or even a Saturday suspension.” Confirmed incidents involving substance abuse, weapons or vandalism all require suspension as governed in school board policy. Suozzo also described some of the proactive programs for student safety the school district has implemented, including “extensive training” for the administrative team with the district’s “anti-bullying specialists” in each building.

Championship track athletes are talk of the valley By Frank Mustac Contributor

Members of the championship boys’ winter track and field from Central High School received a hero’s welcome on Monday evening, as district officials took time to recognize their recent win at the NJSIAA Indoor Relay Group 3 Championships. During the Hopewell Valley Regional School District Board of Education meeting on Feb. 13, the Bulldogs high school squad were honored for achieving a three-way tie for first place with Mendham and Nottingham in Toms River on Jan. 20. “It is part of the dream of the board of education, and certainly a vision of mine, to create well-balanced and well-rounded students,” Superintendent Thomas Smith said. “I think we do a fine job academically, and I think tonight is a testament that we also support our students, helping them grow not only in the classroom, but on the track, on the wrestling mat and anywhere else in between.” During the meet, Hopewell Valley also took second place in

the distance medley and sprint medley relays, and third place in the 4x800 meter relay. The quartet of 4x800 runners Tim Dolan, Sean Dolan, Teddy Meredit and Will Titus - recently raced again at the Millrose Games on Feb. 11. With a swift time of 7:52.76 at the prestigious New York City track and field event, the boys not only broke their own school record by 4.93 seconds, but was the second-best indoor time ever for a U.S. or New Jersey boys’ high school team. The best-ever 4x800 indoor time in the nation and the Garden State was run at the very same Millrose Games by St. Benedict’s Prep of Newark, which edged out Hopewell Valley in the finals by just five one-hundreds of a second. “This the first relay championship for the boys in school history. That’s pretty impressive,” Tripp Becker, Hopewell Valley school district’s athletic director, said during the meeting. Courtesy photo This year’s success, Becker said, can be attributed to coaches Hopewell Valley Central High School track and field athletes (from left) Tim Dolan, Sean Dolan, Teddy MeredClarence Bailey, Mike Musso, ith and Will Titus.

Bid for new roof at high school less than $800K estimate By Frank Mustac Contributor

A construction company’s bid to replace the roof at the Hopewell Valley Central High School came in at $800,000 below estimate, according to the latest figures provided to the Hopewell Valley Regional Board of Education. Superintendent Thomas Smith spoke about the new roof and other planned capital improve-

ment projects at the high school during a presentation at the board of education meeting Monday evening. Board of Education member Roy Dollard said the original estimate “was in the general neighborhood of $3 million, so we’re 25 percent under, more or less.” “I don’t know if this is reflective of other things to come, but it’s a heck of a nice start,” Dollard said.

The board of education on Monday voted unanimously to approve the roof bid. The projects at Central High School and other work proposed at the five other school buildings in the Hopewell Valley Regional School District are all being funded by a $35 million school facilities bond referendum passed in September by voters in Hopewell Borough, Pennington Borough and Hopewell Township.

Smith said that bids also are being prepared for work and repairs for heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems (HVAC), especially at the the high school and Timberlane Middle School. More than $7 million is being allocated for roof replacement and HVAC work. Plans are also moving forward for work at Bear Tavern Elementary School and Toll Gate Grammar School to make playgrounds

at the schools accessibility to students with disabilities. “Over the next six months, there will be a lot of work and a lot of things going out to bid,” Smith said. “The work process, the actual construction will take us well into 2018.” The superintendent also described designs to reconfigure the high school front entrance and offices for handicap accessibility.

STATE WE’RE IN

Trees are more social than you think By Michele S. Byers

What do you see when you look at a tree? Perhaps you notice its age and wonder what events occurred in its lifetime. Maybe you think about the nesting birds it harbors or what value it would bring as lumber. You might admire the elegance of its branches and feel inspired by its beauty. But did you ever think of a tree as a social being with the capacity to communicate with - and help - other trees? Peter Wohlleben, author of the new book The Hidden Life of Trees, makes the case that trees are “unique individuals” that feel pain, learn from experience, make decisions, exchange information and nurse sick and injured brethren trees. A German forester, Wohlleben studied research by scientists from around the world and concluded that humans are wrong in assuming trees lack intelligence because they don’t have brains. Trees, he points out, live their lives “in the slow lane” … on a completely different time scale from humans. One of the world’s oldest trees is a spruce in Sweden believed to be more than 9,500 years old, or 115 times longer than the average human lifetime. Even relatively young trees 100 years old are older than most people! In his book, Wohlleben uses humanfriendly descriptions to explain the science of tree lives. He describes tree friendships, the “language” that trees use to communicate, and how being part of a community - a forest - helps trees live longer. Wohlleben tells of stumbling upon a circular patch of “strange-looking mossy stones” in a preserve of beech trees. Upon investigation, he discovered that they weren’t stones at all, but the ancient remnants of a tree stump. When he

scraped away some bark, he was amazed to find a greenish layer underneath, meaning the wood was still alive. But how could it survive without leaves? “It must be getting assistance from neighboring trees, specifically from their roots,” he concluded. “Scientists investigating similar situations have discovered that assistance may either be delivered remotely by fungal networks around the root tips - which facilitate nutrient exchange between trees - or the roots themselves may be interconnected.” One thing was clear to Wohlleben: the surrounding beeches were pumping sugar to the stump remains to keep it alive. He believes this is an example of trees helping each other through a social network, which he dubs the “wood wide web.” His research further found that trees not only share food with their own species, but sometimes nourish other species. Why would trees help other trees, which are competitors for sunlight and water? “The reasons are the same as for human communities: there are advantages to working together,” Wohlleben wrote. “On its own, a tree cannot establish a consistent local climate. It is at the mercy of wind and weather. But together, many trees create an ecosystem

that moderates extremes of heat and cold, stores a great deal of water and generates a great deal of humidity. And in this protected environment, trees can live to be very old.” If every tree were looking out only for itself, he notes, most would never reach old age. Regular fatalities would result in many large gaps in the tree canopy, making it easier for storms to penetrate the forest and uproot even more trees. Unseen by humans, the author said, trees communicate information to each other, even warning about danger. Wohlleben tells about umbrella thorn acacia trees in Africa favored by giraffes. Once giraffes start nibbling, the acacias pump a toxic substance into their leaves to repel the animals. But that’s not all: the trees also emit a “warning gas” that tells neighboring acacia trees to start producing the same toxins. The giraffes seem to know this, Wohlleben said, and don’t bother stopping at nearby trees; they proceed to acacias too far away to have been forewarned. Trees don’t rely exclusively on airborne scent to communicate. Wohlleben cites a study showing that trees also warn each other by sending chemical signals through the fungal networks around the root tips. Electrical impulses transmitted through roots are yet an-

other way trees send “news bulletins” to each other. Trees also have a sense of taste and can tell what insect predators are munching their leaves. “The saliva of each (insect) species is different, and trees can match the saliva to the insect,” wrote Wohlleben. The tree then releases the precise pheromones needed to summon beneficial predators. For example, elms and pines can summon small parasitic wasps that lay their eggs inside caterpillars, killing them. Read Wohlleben’s book, and you’ll never look at trees the same way again! It may even inspire you to become a tree hugger, an old phrase now with new meaning.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Anti-Trump cartoons hurt push for unity To the editor:

Each week you have a large cartoon in Town Forum section. In your February 3 edition, a cartoon titled “The reins of power” showed White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon with hooks on President Trump’s face, indicating that he is controlling a puppet president. That is very offensive and incorrect to many who see the president differently. There are some, perhaps many, who desire change and who are not for any political party, but rather for the merits, promises and actions of an administration. Your paper never showed Valerie Jarrett

controlling President Barack Obama. Perhaps I’m missing the point. Regardless, when will the Hopewell Valley News show some unity, support, encouragement and correctness when it comes to our president and his administration? We have a new president and some respect should be shown by the Hopewell Valley News, in their editorials, op-eds and in cartoons. Political parties aside, you have an obligation not to incite, but to try to unify for the good of all Americans. I also realize you must satisfy your readers, but I’ve been a reader for 45 years.

OVERLAPPING CONCERNS The malocclusion known as a “posterior cross bite” is characterized by top back teeth that bite down inside the bottom back teeth. The constriction of the palate that leads to cross bite is usually caused by genetics or unusual tooth eruption. Thumbsucking, another possible cause, can functionally constrict the palate and deform the upper jaw. It may also be the case that severe tonguethrusting can contribute to a narrowing of the palate. In any case, several treatments have been developed to deal with this problem. Some widen the upper dental arch, while others are directed at treating the causes of posterior cross bite.

IN CONCERT By Anthony Stoeckert

Taking on the Challenge Kirill Gerstein will perform Liszt, Brahms, Bach, and Beethoven at McCarter

L

ast year, pianist Kirill Gerstein released an acclaimed recording of Franz Liszt’s Transcendental Etudes, and he will perform selections from those etudes during his Feb. 27 concert at McCarter Theatre in Princeton. It promises to be a special experience, as the Liszt solo piano pieces, first published in 1852, are considered one of the great challenges in the piano repertoire. When asked what makes the works so challenging, Gerstein says “Everything.” “Every pianistic difficulty that has been imagined by Liszt is in there,” he says. “Taken together as a cycle . . . it’s the pianistic equivalent of climbing a mountain, it’s one of the pinnacles of our repertoire. There are numerous, enormous, physical challenges, and the idea is that you have to surmount them, but that is not the ultimate goal. What has to come is the virtuosity in some way . . . and one can get to interpreting the musical content behind the pieces. But that’s obviously difficult.” Gerstein, the sixth recipient of the Gilmore Artist Award, presented to a pianist every four years, will open his concert with Bach’s Four Duets, followed by Brahms’ Piano Sonata No. 2, Beethoven’s Pianos Sontas No. 13, Op. 27 No. 1,and Op. 27, No. 2 (the Moonlight Sonata), and then the Liszt etudes. Brahms’ second sonata is actually the first one he wrote, but it was the composer’s second published sonata. “Brahms kind of was in the process of becoming a great composer,” Gerstein says

Kirill Gerstein says listening to classical music is rewarding for audiences. of Brahms when he was working on the second sonata, “so there are places that are wonderfully rough or unpolished sometimes. But he was so incredibly talented, so youthful and energetic, but it’s also interesting to hear that at the age of 18, 19, when he wrote this piece, how many devices and sounds are already what what we associate with later, mature Brahms.” Of the Bach works that will open the concert, Gerstein says their being called “duets” often leads people to think they are played by two musicians, which isn’t the case. “The idea is that it’s four rather short dialogues between two voices, which are obviously played, in this case, by two hands of one person,” Gerstein says. The Moonlight Sonata is sure to be fa-

miliar to many people in the audience, indeed Gerstein says it doesn’t need an introduction. He adds, though, that Beethoven never named it “Moonlight.” “And perhaps it’s not about the moonlight,” Mr. Gerstein says. “In fact, there is a more interesting story, or version, about the first movement especially. If you look at Mozart’s ‘Don Giovanni,’ when Don Giovanni kills the father, as he is dying after he is stabbed, there is this music Mozart writes, and the style of that is quite related to the material of the first movement of the Moonlight Sonata. And obviously, Beethoven knew the piece, it’s in a different key but there is a relation. It is somewhat of an homage to Mozart and funeral music.” He adds that there is a connection between Beethoven, who closes the first half

of the concert, and Liszt, whose works make up the second half. One of Beethoven’s most important students was Carl Czerny, who went on to became a noted piano teacher, and Liszt was one of his most famous students. “In fact, he was a great musician, an excellent composer and a very important teacher,” Gerstein says of Czerny. “His most important, most renowned student was Franz Liszt, so there is a very direct connection from Beethoven to Liszt.” When asked if the Liszt works are challenging for listeners, Gerstein says that listeners have to be open to the music. He finds the music itself a “manifestation of the better side of human nature.” “I don’t think it’s challenging, but it’s not effortless,” he says. “but effortless is not the best game available to us. I think one reaps wonderful rewards with contact from art. “It’s a subject I think about a lot: Why is music relevant and why is classical music relevant? It’s old, written by dead, mostly white males. That’s true but I think some of the reasons I just named are some of the reasons why I think this music is valid, and why art and culture is vital and is crucially important as ever. Perhaps more when the world at large is, I think we can fairly say, in turmoil.”

RESTAURANT REVIEW By Faith Bahadurian

Anjappar Indian Bar & Grill Bold and brave flavors at the dining space at the Clarion Hotel Palmer Inn

T

he location of Anjappar has not been auspicious for its predecessors, although Charley Brown’s had a good run there years ago. But I have hopes for this most recent establishment, open since early last year, thanks to the very flavorful Indian food. Tucked into the corner of a Clarion Hotel Palmer Inn, the décor is very nice with rich reds and earth tones, a generous bar area, and a private function room. All combine to provide comfortable spaces for dining, networking, and business or family events. This is the basic layout and décor of Anjappar’s more recent predecessors, BT Bistro and Pure Restaurant & Lounge, and it serves well here, too. The dining room is to the left of the entrance and offers a stretch of banquette seating on the left, tables for four are located down the middle. To the right are a couple of recessed tables behind a gold-striped curtain for privacy. The whole place was hushed during my mid-week early evening visit, although a pair of men showed up not long after my friend and I were seated. The host aimed to seat them at the banquette table right next to us but they gently re-directed him to a spot one table over and we all had a chuckle over it. Overall, our service was really quite nice, accommodating and attentive. I ordered a signature drink, the Garden Martini, made with Hendricks’s gin, apple juice, cucumber and elderflower liqueur. It was potent and refreshing although it should have been colder. (Same with our water until we requested ice.) Anjappar restaurants were founded in Chennai, India decades ago, in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The region is known for spicy and highly aromatic dishes and crepe-like dosas. The U.S. restaurants are franchised extensions of the chain; there are area branches in Manhattan and North Brunswick. Throughout our meal, my friend and I were gratified that what was supposed to be spicy actually was, which is not always the case when Indian restaurants serve westerners. The menu has several varieties of deep-fried “65” dishes — mushroom 65, paneer 65, on through chicken, prawn, fish, plus the Gobi (cauliflower) 65 we opted for. The origin of these dishes is not really clear although many sources say the dish was first served in 1965 in a Chennai hotel. The featured ingredient is coated with a robust mixture of ginger, cayenne, mustard powder and vinegar, before being flash fried and served with a wedge of lemon or lime, and sliced onion. Our Gobi 65, garnished with onion, spiralized vegetables, and a lime wedge, was excellent, we ate every brick red floret with relish, loving the intense spiciness — and that was rated just one chili pepper on the menu. The lime was the perfect foil, but we mostly bypassed the spicy red

Apppetizers at Anjappar include the Gobi 65 and the chicken-based Kozhi Milagu Varuval. sauce on the side. Our other appetizer, Kozhi Milagu Varuval (boneless chicken with spices), was rated two chilis, although it didn’t seem as spicy as the Gobi 65. My opinion might have changed, however, had I eaten any of the several nearly whole red chilis in the dish. Think of this dish as Indian pulled chicken; it was a generous serving of soft shredded (but still chunky) meat that probably would have been great folded into some naan had we ordered bread (we stuck with rice instead). It was moist and flavorful, and some of the generous serving provided most of a dinner at home a couple of nights later. We ordered entrées of shrimp and goat. Coconut prawn curry was more tomato than coconut, but full of flavor although not particularly spicy (no chili peppers on menu). When I see the word “prawn,” I expect something larger than the small shrimp in this dish, but it was still good. In fact, I later learned that the difference between prawns and shrimp is more one of gill structure than size. When I ordered the mildly spicy — one chili pepper — mutton (really goat) Biriyani our waiter warned us about bones, which didn’t deter us. But in the end, the meat was

boneless except for one little piece I found in my leftovers at home. There were, however, plentiful pieces of whole spices, so I chewed carefully. The dish was topped with a hard-boiled egg, a typical touch in Chettinad cuisine, and served with oniony yogurt raita and a small dish of “gravy.” I used the raita more with the coconut prawn curry, however. I restrained myself from ordering bread, knowing there would be more than enough food as it was. The menu offers basic tandoor breads plus a selection of dosas and thali meal platters. (I think of the latter as the Indian version of bento boxes.) Our prawn curry did come with rice, but it was not long-grained basmati, and was without any spices. The menu is divided into many sections with extensive options for both carnivores and vegetarians. Another night I’d be curious to try one of their chef’s signature winebased dishes, maybe the lobster Lababdar with red wine sauce or the lamb Lass Mass with white wine sauce. We held off dessert for another visit when we didn’t fill up on appetizers, but it will take numerous visits to explore this gutsy cuisine which, thankfully, hasn’t been toned down too much for western tastes.

Their Home is Their Castle It should be the script for a modern-day children’s story — a combination of “The Little Engine that Could (Do It Right)” and the “House that Joanne and Dean Built (and Connected It to the Community).” Once upon a time in the summer of 2009, Princetonians Joanne Farrugia and Dean Smith, the prince and princess proprietors of the magical JaZams toy “castle store” (so dubbed by my granddaughter) on Palmer Square, moved into their castle residence at 17 Maclean St. They fell in love with the Maclean Street house after spending many days and nights hanging out there with friends who used to own it. Joanne and Dean met these friends through a midwife who delivered the babies of both women on the same night. The moms and dads and babies became great friends. Joanne and Dean always loved the Maclean Street home of their friends, and they especially loved the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood, with its diversity, unpretentious and caring residents, modest scale of the residences, and the history. They looked for houses in the neighborhood but nothing was as perfect as that Maclean Street house. Then one day the friends said they were considering a move to a different part of Princeton, but would move only if Joanne and Dean would become the new owners of this very special house. And abracadabra, it happened. The plot thickened, however, when Joanne and Dean determined they required a wee bit more room in their home. It needed: a tower, mostly to serve as a children’s library to house all the books Joanne had collected during the course of 20 years of selling books in her store; a bathroom; and a kitchen/hanging-out space with a higher ceiling. Enter the knight whose shining armor was in the form of construction tools — Princeton builder George Akers of Material Design Build. He was renowned for renovations respecting the history and “soul” of the structures he had renovated in the area for the past 20 years. Joanne and Dean exchanged ideas and plans with George for three and a half years, while the couple saved their pennies. Finally, they were ready to move forward with making their dream house even dreamier. George and Joanne and Dean partnered this past summer with Princeton architect Steven Cohen. The result was an ending about as happy as anyone could imagine. Without any government mandates — all

WHAT’S IN STORE

George Akers at the site of a home on Maclean Street he’s renovating. this took place prior to the passage of new historic district zoning for the Witherspoon Jackson neighborhood — the renovated house respected everyone: the neighbors, the history, the look and feel of the neighborhood, and the spirit of the mid -19th-century home (built sometime between 1820 and 1860). George’s magic was derived from a special potion, called structural empathy. He listened to rather than talked at his client, while researching and revering the DNA of the structure under his charge. “‘Dream big, build small’ was emblazoned on a T-shirt we bought at Small World Coffee many years ago… You could say that was the basis for our design,” Joanne said. “We also always knew we wanted to keep our yard as big as possible, as we love to grow food and flowers, and have room to play tag… This all started because the ceiling in our kitchen was just over 6 feet tall. When friends would come over we would say our house was built for little people. The doorframe leading into the kitchen was about 5 feet, 8 inches from the floor. We love to cook and have gatherings at our house, and everybody would inevitably end up in the kitchen. Needless to say, there were lots of bumped heads. Now we have a kitchen with a height of 9 feet, and, as George

says, it feels very adult.” They made conscious decisions about keeping the design more traditional with touches of a modern feel. “I love modern,” said Dean, but everyone believed that the top priority was to keep the integrity of the original house and its sense of place in the neighborhood. In the jargon of builders and architects, the goal was to keep the house “within the local vernacular.” According to George’s research, the building was post-and-beam construction from about 1860. He determined the history of the wood throughout the house, the type of tree, where it was milled, and how it was cut. George, who at one point in his life was studying to be a botanist, grew professionally in a different direction, while retaining his connection to organic materials. His passion is restoration — particularly by recycling old wood and doors from other jobs. The floor in the Maclean Street castle is made from old bleachers (numbers and grip tape still attached) from a school in Ohio. One of the closets was built of old doors repurposed from a house in Kingston. George connected with another builder, Charlie Yedlin, who was demolishing the former SAVE animal shelter on Herrontown Road. The floorboards in the SAVE house were saved and have found residence in the ceiling panels and interior mill work of the Maclean Street house. The old walls and old windows in the Maclean Street house were torn down to create a better-insulated house with much higher energy efficiency. The old beams and two-by-fours were recycled back in the house. “I love creative reuse,” George said. “Sure, at times it can be a challenge, but the reward is great and the reason why I am still at it after many years.” That modest budget tested the commitment of Joanne and Dean to buy local. “We maybe spent a little more money trying to support all the local lumber yards, tile shops and appliance stores in our area to keep money in our local communities,” Joanne said. “But it all comes down to choices,” Dean said. “And for us, as reflected by how we run our business, we choose what is best for the community… the benefits over the long-term are priceless.” George is pushing for completion of the project by the end of the month, after which Joanne, Dean, their 9-year-old son Felix, and their rescue dog, Lucky, intend to live in their castle happily ever after.

The fabric of life at Pennington Quilt Works Spring begins March 20, but we all know there is plenty of frigid night air looming beyond that date. And what better way to endure these remaining frosty evenings than by snuggling under a nice, cozy quilt that seemingly provides protection from the whole world? What really adds to the experience is when the quilt was made by the same person it is draped over. That’s where Pennington Quilt Works comes in handy. Located at 7 Tree Farm Road on Route 31 South, Pennington, Quilt Works features 4,000 bolts of fabric from between 20 to 30 different manufacturers, along with all the notions and equipment necessary for quilting. For those who don’t know how to quilt, classes are offered throughout each month. Upon mastering the art, quilters can take pride in what they have done and also have a darn nice comforter to wrap themselves in. Making a quilt can take anywhere from a weekend to, well, a long time, depending on the size and how elaborate the pattern is. “There are studies that show people who sew, which is what you’re basically doing in quilting, have lower blood pressure,” said Jan Crane, owner of Pennington Quilt Works. “They stay active longer, their minds stay active longer. It does include all your senses. You have to think, you have to produce something. Sometimes people get all like, ‘Ooh, I don’t know how I’m going to do all this.’ You just tell them ‘Enjoy the process, that’s what it’s for.’” Crane has been helping people enjoy it for over 20 years, as her original store opened in the Pennytown Complex in 1996 before moving to her current site in February, 2006. During the past two decades, the owner has prided herself on the affable, informative service provided by her staff. “I think we’ve proven . . . that we are a very friendly, welcoming community,” she said. “You can come in

here at any level with any kind of interest and we will help you develop that interest. Both in terms of the supplies we help you find, the learning end of it, and the community part of it.” A south Jersey native, Crane grew up in Williamstown, and graduated from Montclair State with a degree in home economics. Upon graduation, she worked in New York City, teaching homemaking skills to the blind. “They were all people who lost their sight later in life so they just needed to re-establish how to do things for themselves,” Crane said. “It really helped me to drill down into what people needed and what was really helpful to them.” From there, she taught home economics in north Jersey but discovered she liked teaching adults more than teenagers. She went into retail and was a manager and assistant buyer for Bamberger’s. Jan left the business world to raise a family and, while doing so, began looking for a hobby. “A bunch of us from my son’s nursery school started getting together and quilting together,” she said. “We were in this group, our kids were little, they would play together and we would quilt. I became enamored with quilting, with the fabric, the whole construction of it.” When her two sons started school full time, Crane decided to live out a dream of owning a store in which she could sell, teach and create. Having lived in Pennington and knowing numerous members of the burgeoning Hopewell Valley Quilt Guild, she saw potential in opening a quilting shop. It debuted in Pennytown and her first employee was Arlene Stilson, a friend of hers from the nursery school days who is still on staff today. “We just started taking it step by step,” Crane said. “We had maybe 500 to 800 bolts of fabric and a little bit of notions and books and things. Little by little we grew. Arlene and I basically made it up as we went along.

Pennington Quilt Works owner Jan Crane (left) and employee Arlene Stilson. “I had some retail background from Bambergers, I knew some retail basics. I studied, I bought books and every day we said ‘OK, what can we do today?’ I’ve always been the fabric buyer; I just love fabric, that’s one of my main jobs. Arlene started taking care of all the notions. She’s always done a really great job of keeping that all filled in and finding new things.” Jan started with a 900-square-foot store that increased to 1,700 square feet when she annexed a vacated store next door. Even that space became too small and, coupled with the slow deterioration of the Pennytown complex; she decided it was time to re-locate. Pennington Quilt Works became the first merchant to sign a lease in the brand-new Tree Farm Village. It’s a fun place to visit, with fabrics jumping out of every wall. “Most of the fabric I buy is from fabric reps who come to the store,” Crane said. “Most of it is not made in the U.S., it’s made all over the world and imported here. There’s not really a permanent fabric market here like they have with other products. Twice a year they have a quilt market; one in Houston every fall and a rotating market in the spring. It’s a concentrated look at everything new, so I love doing that. The inventory includes Bernina

sewing machines, as the company approached Crane about being a dealer when she moved into her new space. “I had always sewn on Berninas so I jumped at the chance,” she said. “I have 14 to 16 different ones on the floor and at least one of the best selling ones in the back to sell.” But the main attraction is fabric. Aside from selling bolts and notions separately, Pennington Quilt Works also offers kits to reproduce sample quilts the shop has on display. The kits feature the same fabric as the samples, cut in yards and put in a package with the notions that go with it. And if you don’t know what to do with a kit, you can always learn by taking one of the numerous classes for any level of experience. A complete calendar appears on the store’s website, nationally renowned quilters often serve as guest speakers. The classes provide a communal feel for quilters, which is one of two true joys Crane feels a person can get from quilting. “Number one is the fabric,” Crane said. “People just love choosing and working with the fabric. Then you get to use your creative juices in how you put those fabrics together. It’s a very rewarding thing to take these stacks of fabric. I know people kind of laugh that you cut them up and put them back together again, but you put them back together again in an interesting way. It’s just very satisfying to do that and make something else out of it. “Also, there’s a community about it as well. When people come and take classes here, they could do it on their own, but it’s more fun to do it with someone else. It’s like any club or any hobby. You would meet with people and talk about the coins that you found, or whatever. Here you talk about the hobby, and it’s quilts.” Pennington Quilt Works is at 7 Tree Farm Road, Pennington.

Heart Attack: Know the Warning Signs

February is American Heart Month, a month-long celebration of heart health and a yearly reminder to show your heart some love. It is also a good time to make sure you know the signs and symptoms of a heart attack so you can be prepared to call 911 in case one strikes. Because when it comes to treating a heart attack time is of the essence. At University Medical Center of Princeton, a special team of board-certified physicians, specialists and nurses provides prompt, quality care to heart attack patients, including critical life-saving treatments such as emergency angioplasty and therapeutic hypothermia. Every 43 seconds A heart attack occurs when the blood flow to a part of the heart is suddenly blocked and the heart cannot get enough oxygen. If blood flow is not restored quickly, the heart muscle begins to die and the heart is permanently damaged. Most blockages are caused by clots that are a result of plaque buildup in the arteries, a condition called atherosclerosis. The risk for a heart attack increases with age. Other risk factors include family his-

tory, smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, overweight and obesity, an unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, and high blood sugar. Chest pain or discomfort most common symptom Not all heart attacks are as crushing and dramatic as the ones you see on TV or in the movies. Often symptoms are subtler, making it important to know your body and to seek medical treatment if something just does not feel right. The most common signs of a heart attack include: Pain or discomfort in the center or left side of the chest. It can feel like pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain. It can also feel like heartburn or indigestion and be mild or severe. Shortness of breath. This could be the only symptom of a heart attack or it could occur before or along with chest pain or discomfort. Shortness of breath may be described as feeling as if you ran a marathon even when you are at rest or engaging in light physical activity. Upper body discomfort. You may feel pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, shoulders, neck, jaw or upper part of

the stomach, above the belly button. Other signs of a heart attack include breaking out into a cold sweat, nausea, vomiting, lightheadedness and fatigue. A note for women As with men, the most common symptom for women experiencing a heart attack is chest pain or discomfort. However, it is important to note that women are more likely to experience other symptoms even in the absence of chest discomfort. For instance, women are more likely to have shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting, and back or jaw pain. Often these symptoms are subtle, and women may not even recognize they are having a heart attack, attributing the signs to something else. Regardless of whether you are woman or a man, if you experience signs of a heart attack call 911. Do not drive to the hospital yourself. Emergency medical workers can begin treatment in the ambulance and alert hospital staff prior to your arrival. Love your heart Lowering your risk factors is the best way to guard against a heart attack. Have a discussion with your doctor, find out your numbers and what you can do to lower your

risk. Your numbers to know include: • Total cholesterol • LDL (bad cholesterol) • HDL (good cholesterol) • Triglycerides • Blood pressure • Fasting blood sugar • Body mass index In addition: • Don’t smoke, and avoid second hand smoke • Eat a healthy diet that is low in saturated fat, trans fat and sodium • Get at least 15 minutes of moderateintensity physical activity a week • Maintain a healthy weight • See your doctor for regular checkups To find a physician with Princeton HealthCare System, go to www.princetonhcs.org, or call 888-742-7496.

The branding and marketing agency was founded in 2004 in New Hope, Pennsylvania and then expanded to a 1,000-square foot office in Ewing in 2013. After outgrowing that space, Imbue took the opportunity to move back to its Delaware River roots, tripling its space to 3,100-square feet in the former Holcombe Hall in Lambertville. Imbue brings a team of creative executives, designers, illustrators, and account managers to their new home in Lambertville. According to the Lambertville Historical Society, Imbue Creative’s new home served as a theater for traveling minstrels and operas, and as a public event space during the Victorian Era. Lambertville High School held its graduation ceremony on the upper floors in 1884, and various merchants sold groceries, oysters, and dry goods on the first floor. *** To celebrate National Margarita Day on Feb. 22, Bahama Breeze in MarketFair will kick off its Viva la ‘Rita celebration by offering the restaurant’s classic margarita for $2.22 all day. “Who doesn’t love margaritas?” said John Wilkerson, president of Bahama Breeze. “Our guests are already looking forward to tastes and sounds of spring.
