Texas school shooting raises parents’ school safety concerns By Samantha Brandbergh Correspondent

With fatal school shootings increasingly making headlines, parents of students in the Hopewell Valley Regional School District raised concerns they had about what was being done to strengthen school security during a Board of Education meeting on May 21. Three days after a 17-yearold student fatally shot eight of his peers and two teachers, and wounded 13 others at Santa Fe High School in Santa Fe, Texas, on May 18, members of the community were worried a similar

tragedy could happen close to home. “It’s sad that we have to have this conversation, but it must be had,” Pennington Borough resident Jeffrey Gross said. “I’m under no impression at all that having security people in schools will prevent that person from coming in. There [are] a lot of things that go into a person who is that upset or that distraught to do such.” Gross, who has sons at Timberlane Middle School and Hopewell Valley Central High School, said he would want security personnel at the schools who could “confront” a suspected in-

dividual and take action if necessary. In April, the middle school and the high school were put on lockdown after a “suspicious person” was sighted. After being questioned by police, the individual was found to be a former Hopewell Valley Central High School student and the lockdown was lifted. For Gross, what students are taught in safety drills is “not a good enough answer.” “I would never want any one of our children ever to lose a life and then have it be said, ‘Why didn’t we do something?’ ” he

said. “I think it’s imperative in this day and age, we need to have someone who can potentially reduce the damage. The guard isn’t going to be the end-all, but I would prefer a person be there so they can take a shot and engage.” Superintendent of Schools Thomas A. Smith said “not a day goes by when we don’t worry or think about what we can do.” The school district, Smith said, has various “intangible” ways to improve school security, such as expanding mental health efforts through counseling, as well as electronic communication with concerned students.

“If there is a good thing is come out of this, it’s [that] students are being much more vocal and raising concerns about other students, about bringing matters to the attention of administration,” Smith said. “Kids will bring to us items of concern that students either Snapchatted or Instagrammed to someone else and brought it to an adult and said, ‘I’m worried about this, can you help?’ “ The tangible aspects, Smith said, include plans to improve staff training, from bus drivers to

School district officials approve random drug tests for local pupils

By Lea Kahn Staﬀ Writer

Hopewell Valley Central High School students will be subject to random drug tests, under a policy and companion regulation that were approved by the Hopewell Valley Regional School District Board of Education Monday night. The school board voted unanimously to adopt the random drug testing policy, which had been under discussion for several months, following a public hearing. However, one resident voiced her objections to it. “I don’t understand the problem,” Theresa Vogler said, stating her opposition to the random drug testing program. She suggested testing students for whom there is “probable cause” to believe they are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Only students who are involved in sports or after-school clubs are included in this “intrusion,” Vogler said. “Wouldn’t it be fair” to include all students, and not just those who play sports or join after-school clubs and activities, she said. Superintendent of Schools Thomas Smith replied that it was not an easy decision to make. A majority of students who were polled last year indicated that they believe illegal drugs are a problem in the school district, he said. “I would argue, we do have a problem. I gain no pleasure [implementing the policy]. We do this because we are for the students. Not every parent has a great relationship with their child. Like it or not, we become ‘de facto’ parents,” Smith said.

The superintendent said that 93 to 94 percent of students at the high school take part in sports or other extra- or co-curricular activities, which is the requirement for being subject to random drug testing. Students who hold an oncampus parking permit also are enrolled in the program. Smith said that 23 of the 24 students who were caught with illegal drugs last year were involved in sports or other activities, adding that “it’s not the students who you think [are using drugs]. It’s the students who are taking AP courses [who also take drugs].” School board vice president Lisa Wolff said she believes the “primary reason” for implementing the random drug testing policy is for its deterrent effect. If students know they may be chosen at random to be tested for illegal drugs, they will be less likely to ingest them, she said. Wolff said the school district experienced a similar situation with alcoholic beverages. Students would go to school-sponsored parties while they were intoxicated. Once school district officials began to screen students before they entered the social function, “it stopped,” she said. “We are not trying to catch students,” Wolff said. The goal is deterrence. When there is peer pressure, it is easier to say no because of the random drug tests, she said. Under the new random drug testing program, students who do not meet the requirements and who may want to be part of it can choose to “opt in” for random drug testing. It would apply to a

Safety Continued from Page 1A administrators, which will be taking place over the summer. “This is moving away from the traditional ‘hidein-a-corner’ training to a much more dynamic training and providing staff with opportunities to make decisions and be actively involved in these situations,” he said. In regard to security, Smith said limited access to the high school has been implemented, as well as

talks of building and locking vestibules to some of the buildings. By the end of this year, all six of the campus safety officers will be retired police officers, Smith said. “There is life training police officers have that a normal person who walks the halls doesn’t have,” he added. “We are also looking at changing their roles. We don’t want our officers to be in the main office answering phones if a secretary isn’t there, we would like them more actively in-

volved and monitoring the schools.” The state is moving forward with a program that involves a trained safety specialist at every school district in New Jersey. Smith and Assistant Superintendent Anthony Suozzo will attend training. The board’s vice president, Lisa Wolff, said the board and administration worked for five years to have voting booths removed from the schools. During elections, the schools would be open to

the community. After sending many requests to the state Department of Elections, the voting booths were removed from all district schools, with the exception of the Stony Brook Elementary School. “Rumor has it they are moving the voting out of Stony Brook and into Freedom Village, and if that happens, that will be the last of our schools,” Wolff said. “If you want to talk about creepy, you’re inviting the entire community,

of which you’re not doing any ID checks or anything, into your schools.” Pennington resident Gregory Vaughn raised additional concerns and suggested implementing metal detectors and a single point of entry. “In [Santa Fe], very little showed there was a problem with that child; we’re not protecting our kids, we’re not protecting our staff,” he said. Smith said the board is working with the state to “see where [they] land” in

terms of these areas. “At this point, I’m not making a recommendation for armed officers in our schools, and I think, with the metal detectors and talking with the police, there [are] still some questions we have regarding that,” he said. Smith said the issue of having armed personnel in the schools “needs to be a larger community discussion” before district administrators considers that option.

enrolled at the high school. Although the list of drugs has not been determined, a typical random drug test “panel” may test for marijuana, cocaine, opioids, amphetamines, MDMA or ecstasy, GHB, steroids, synthetic cannabinoids, and alcohol. The selected students will be escorted to the nurse’s office to submit a urine sample. The nurse will test the sample, and if it tests “positive” for the presence of drugs, it will be sent to a lab for confirmation. Measures will be taken to ensure that students cannot cheat and throw off

the results. If a student tests positive for drugs, he or she must attend at least five counseling sessions with the student assistance counselor within 30 calendar days. The student may attend a prevention/education program or complete an in-patient substance abuse rehabilitation program approved by the state Department of Health. The student will be retested after completing the five counseling sessions. If the student tests positive again, he or she will lose privileges, such as the ability to take part in sports or after-school clubs and ac-

tivities, for up to 15 days. Parking privileges will be suspended for 30 days. The student will also have to attend a minimum of 10 counseling sessions with the student assistance counselor within 45 calendar days. He or she must attend prevention/education programs or complete an in-patient drug/alcohol rehabilitation program approved by the state Department of Health. In all cases, the test results will remain confidential and will not become part of a student’s record for college or job applications. The record will be

locked in a separate file, away from the student’s regular file. The school district will not share the student’s individual test results with po-

lice. Federal rules restrict any use of the test results to investigate or prosecute any student, according to the random drug testing policy.

Students who want to “opt out” can do so by filling out an “activity drop form” that indicates he or she will not be taking part in sports or other afterAschool activities, and will give up the parking permit.

Begone, single-use plastic bags! Townships ban wasteful bags Look around and you’ll see plastic bags everywhere: tumbling along roads, washed up on beaches, caught in tree branches, and clogging rivers, streams and storm drains. In 2017, volunteers for Clean Ocean Action collected more than 9,000 plastic bags during their spring and fall “Beach Sweeps” up and down the Jersey shore. In April, volunteers for Raritan Headwaters Association picked up 2,370 bags along the Raritan River and its tributaries. These cleanup efforts - involving thousands of volunteers – help keep our ocean and waterways safer

for fish, birds, dolphins, whales, turtles and other aquatic creatures. They also help make the public aware of the enormous harm caused by single-use bags. Happily, this heightened public awareness is translating into action. In 2015, the borough of Longport, just south of Atlantic City, became the first town in New Jersey to ban single-use plastic bags. Stores in this Absecon Island town are prohibited from giving out plastic bags to customers; instead, shoppers are asked to bring their own reusable bags. If a customer doesn’t have a bag, businesses charge customers 10 cents apiece for

bags. Two more towns – Teaneck in Bergen County and Long Beach Township on Long Beach Island – have also banned single-use plastic bags. Long Beach’s ban took effect on May 1, just in time for the summer season. In February, Stafford Township in Ocean County introduced a law banning single-use plastic bags; a public hearing will be held this summer. And on May 1, Point Pleasant Beach in Ocean County introduced its own plastic bag ban. The town will help the transition by handing out 1,000 reusable canvas bags. These local efforts are critical and very positive. But why not ban single-use bags outright in this state we’re in? New Jersey uses about 4.5 billion single-use plastic bags every year. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, fewer than 5 percent of all single-use plastic bags are recycled. The rest go to landfills or trash incinera-

places! Kenya enacted the world’s strictest ban on single-use plastic bags in 2017. Kenyans producing, selling or even using plastic bags are subject to up to four years in jail or fines of $40,000. More than 40 additional countries have banned, partly banned or taxed single-use plastic bags. Would a statewide ban or tax on single-use plastic bags work in New Jersey? This past February, Assemblywoman Valerie Vainieri Huttle introduced a new bill that would impose a 5-cent fee on single-use plastic bags, an incentive for customers to bring their own bags. The bill is still before the Assembly’s Environment and Solid Waste Committee, and it remains to be seen whether the full Legislature will get behind it or an amended version. But why wait for your town – or the state Legislature - to act? Take action today to reduce plastic pollution by voluntarily bringing your own reusable shopping bags. It’s not hard to

develop this new habit – it’s just like buckling your seat belt or flossing your teeth! Biodegradable plastic shopping bags are another solution, but they’re not yet readily available. Most stores don’t offer biodegradable bags, and they need to be composted rather than tossed in the trash. To learn more about microplastics pollution and its impact on wildlife, go to the NY/NJ Baykeeper website atwww.baykeeperplasticstory.org or the Clean Ocean Action website at www. cleanoceanaction.org/index .php?id=824.

The new affordable housing units, the new market rate homes, the new community center, and the new 100,000 square feet of commercial development to be built in the southern tier will need sewer capacity from the

Ewing Lawrence Sewerage Authority (ELSA).

Bags exposed to sunlight break down into smaller and smaller pieces, eventually becoming “microplastics.” These microscopic plastic particles become part of the food chain, and end up in our drinking water. Recent research shows microplastic contamination in many popular bottled waters. In 2016, California became the first state to ban single-use plastic bags. On its one-year anniversary last November, the state declared a victory: some 13 billion plastic bags a year had been eliminated, and the number of plastic bags on beaches dropped significantly. Californians quickly adjusted to bringing their own bags to stores or paying 10 cents for heavierweight reusable bags. California’s law is tough, but not nearly as tough as those in other

Heritage Weekend to feature the valley’s rich history By Samantha Brandbergh Correspondent

Untold stories of the Hopewell Valley region’s historical roots will be brought to light this weekend during the first Hopewell Valley Heritage Weekend. The Hopewell Museum, Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum, Hopewell Valley Historical Society, Stoutsburg Cemetery Association, Pennington African Cemetery Association, Hopewell Valley Veterans Association and Hopewell Public Library have partnered to organize the event, which is set to take place over Memorial Day weekend. Hopewell and Pennington residents will have opportunities to become immersed in the history that surrounds them through various and sometimes interactive events. “We thought it would be a great way to partner with like-minded organizations in the community,” said Catherine Hogan, chair of the Hopewell Valley Heritage Committee. “Instead of just having it be a museum operation, we said, ‘You know, let’s get everybody together.’ There are so many events that occur across Hopewell Valley that celebrate its rich history.” While the idea for the weekend came about in late February, Hogan said the planning and organizing took place in March. “I think the reason why we were able to do it with such a short timeline is because many of these events have occurred across the valley for decades now,” Hogan said. “This was just

Pieces of Hopewell Valley’s history will be shared during the Hopewell Valley Heritage Weekend event. Above, members of the American Legion Hopewell Valley Post 339, who financed the Memorial Day parade for years, pose with their truck. Standing: Raymond Van Arsdale. Driver: Joseph McLaughlin.

One of the main attractions will be a Civil War encampment re-enactment on May 26, featuring soldiers of the 6th Infantry Regiment of the United States Colored Troops. Those in attendance can learn how to load a musket and fire three rounds during a drill led by the soldiers. Some of the other featured presentations and performers are directly related to the Hopewell-Pennington area and its natives, according to the committee. Civil War historian and former director of the National Archives Kellee

Green Blake will deliver a lecture entitled “No Slave Beneath That Starry Flag: Civil War Heroes of the Pennington African Cemetery,” which will detail the lives of Hopewell Valley citizens who were a part of the United States Colored Troops. Saturday’s events will also feature Grammy nominated folk singer and songwriter Alastair Moock, who has ties to the area through his father, who was a Hopewell Valley resident. Aaron Truehart, a Civil War veteran who served in the United States Colored Troops, is buried at the Stoutsburg Cemetery in Hopewell. On May 27, actor Arthur Gregory Pugh will perform a dramatic portrayal of Truehart’s life and battles. “[Truehart] was a Hopewell Valley resident [and] came from the True-

hart family, who were descendants of slaves. Their original ancestor was bought here from Charleston, South Carolina,” Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum board member Beverly Mills said, adding that she is also is a descendant of that line. Committee members agreed that while some residents may already be aware of the valley’s long history, there is still much more to be discovered. “You can never be aware enough,” Executive Director of the New Jersey State Archives and Hopewell Borough resident Joseph Klett said. “You may be aware of one aspect of the history, but learn things you never knew before by what we’re offering.” The weekend’s events, Hogan said, aim to not only educate long-time

residents of the HopewellPennington area, but also the younger generation. “If they are sitting through something that’s not terribly appealing, or reading some long book, I don’t know that it comes alive for [younger people],” she said. “With this approach, it’s exciting for them.” Through the Hopewell Valley Heritage Weekend, the committee hopes residents walk away with a sense of pride in their community and the known, and unknown, history it holds. “That’s the thing about history,” Klett said. “People think there aren’t things to discover, but there are always new angles, always new facts, always new people to learn about.” For a full list of events, visit https://thehopewellmuseum.org/hvhw/.

Many adults who did not undergo orthodontic treatment as youngsters are now deciding that it is never too late to straighten their teeth and improve their smiles. Now that they are older, adult orthodontic patients are motivated by a greater appreciation of the link between the mouth and body, which suggests that straighter teeth and a better bite improve their chances of keeping all their teeth for the remainder of their lives. The more precisely their teeth and jaws are aligned, the better their chances for averting dental issues that stem from crowding pressure, tooth decay, abnormal tooth wear and enamel erosion, gum disease, and jaw-joint pain. “Invisible” aligners and other options also make orthodontic treatment more appealing to adults. The benefits of having necessary dental and orthodontic work extend beyond mere vanity. Because crooked teeth, improper jaw positioning, and a misaligned bite can cause a myriad of problems as you age, braces are as much an investment in your oral health as they are a future confidence booster. To schedule a consultation, please call the office of MARK W. McDONOUGH, DMD, LLC, at 609-730-1414. We are located at 245 South Main Street (next to Toll Gate Grammar School), Pennington.

P.S. While treatment may take longer for adult patients, they are usually more diligent about wearing their retainers and avoiding certain foods than their younger counterparts, which helps speed up their progress.

Obituaries

George Edward Councell, 68, Pennington, NJ The Right Reverend George Edward Councell, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey from 2003 until he retired in 2013, died May 21 at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in Hamilton, NJ from complications from a stroke suffered the previous Thursday. He was 68. Bishop Councell presided during a time of conflict in both The Episcopal Church and the Diocese of New Jersey. His gifts for listening, pastoral care, and healing became the hallmarks of his episcopate. “I will always be grateful for the pastoral gifts that were embodied in George Councell,” said the Right Reverend William H. Stokes, Councell’s successor as Bishop of New Jersey. “He turned over to me a diocese that had been broken, but that had experienced tremendous healing through his ministry and his capacity to love Jesus and love God’s people.”

Hopewell Valley News 9A

In a 2013 interview with the Times of Trenton, Bishop Councell laughingly noted: “I wanted to become a bishop to get closer to God, but with so many people here to look after, I thought, ‘Wow, I’ll really have to get closer to God to do this.’ But I feel that I have.” Bishop Councell actively encouraged recognition and giving voice to marginalized communities within the church. As bishop, Councell allowed his clergy permission to officiate over same-sex marriages in their churches in 2013. “It was very dear to me to keep everyone at the table, the Lord’s table, and not needlessly build these boundaries among one another,” he said in a 2013 interview. “The church isn’t the totally safe place I want it to be [for the LGBTQ community], but I think we’ve made it a safer place for them, and a place where they can come, and be seen as people who want the same things as all of us: to have a healthy, happy, strong, supportive family.” Bishop Councell also made the dismantling of structural racism a priority within the Diocese. “Bishop Councell’s immense kindness and capacity to listen as a healer were instrumental in moving towards racial reconciliation in the Diocese of New Jersey, particularly in his unwavering support of our Anti-Racism ministries,” said Barbara Okamoto Bach, longtime member and a leader and educator in the Diocese’s Anti-Racism Commission. “His strong belief in our efforts, and that healing and reconciliation were attainable through the redemptive power of God’s love, made so many difficult paths of healing possible.” “Never have I known a more spiritual, loving, compassionate man of God,” said The Rev. Canon Elizabeth Geitz, who served as Bishop Councell’s transition officer, a position dedicated to clergy placement, for the majority of his episcopate. “What a loss for us.” Bishop Councell graduated from the University of California at Riverside Phi Beta Kappa with honors with a Bachelor of Arts in 1971. In 1975 he earned a Master of Divinity from Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Councell was ordained a priest in 1975 in the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles. Among other positions, he served as Rector of the Church of the Holy Spirit, Lake Forest, IL from 1995 to 2003 and as Canon to the Ordinary in the Diocese of Western Massachusetts from 1986 to 1995. After retirement, Councell served as resident Chaplain of Doane Academy, an Episcopal college preparatory school in Burlington, New Jersey. He taught courses on Ethics and World Religions. Councell lived in Pennington, New Jersey with his wife of 47 years, Ruth May Tietjen, an artist and illustrator. They met while undergraduate students at the University of Redlands. He is survived by Ruth and their two daughters; Sarah Councell Turner, who graduated from Virginia Theological Seminary with a Master of Theological Studies degree, Martha Councell-Vargas, Professor of Flute at Western Michigan University, his six-year-old granddaughter, Alma Susana Vargas, his sister, Pamela Plouffé, nephews Jerry Roberts III, and Justin Roberts, and his niece, Dawn Drootin and their families. Visitations will be welcome on Monday, May 28, from 5 PM to 7 PM at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, 801 West State Street in Trenton, NJ. A funeral service will be held on Tuesday, May 29, at 10 AM at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, 801 West State Street in Trenton, NJ. The Right Reverend William H. Stokes, Bishop of New Jersey, will preside; the Right Reverend Alan M. Gates, Bishop of Massachusetts, will offer the tribute. The Most Reverend Michael Bruce Curry, Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church, will preach.

IT IS YOUR DECISION Funeral prearrangement is a two-step process that involves making funeral arrangements as outlined in the preneed contract, followed by a discussion of the funding. During the first phase, a discussion will take place of services such as embalming and other preparations, providing funeral vehicles and transportation services, the funeral ceremony, and facilities for visitation. Decisions will also have to be made concerning the selection of a casket/urn, outer burial container, and other merchandise such as flowers, acknowledgment cards, and transfer containers. Finally, cost considerations may be finalized through life insurance, bank trust agreement, or other method. It is possible to select funeral goods and services without prefunding the funeral, but cash-advance items and services may require reimbursement.

Planning your own funeral is not something that most people like to think about. Prearrangement allows you to make your final arrangements at your own pace, at a time when you feel calm, healthy, and rational. To learn more, please call 609-737-2900. Our experienced and professional staff is here to guide you through the creation of a service that reflects your values, your preferences, and your individual life story. We are located at 21 North Main St. Continuous Family Service Since 1881. “We are not content to pass away entirely from the scenes of our delight; we would leave, if but in gratitude, a pillar and a legend.”

A reception will immediately follow the service. At 2 PM, a procession will leave Trinity Cathedral for St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, 145 West Broad Street in Burlington, NJ for the interment. Arrangements are by the Wilson-Apple Funeral Home, 2560 Pennington Road, Pennington. Condolences are welcome at www. wilsonapple.com, In lieu of flowers, the Councell family requests donations be made to the George E. Councell Fund for UrbanPromise Ministries in the Diocese of New Jersey. UrbanPromise Ministries is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to equipping children and young adults in underserved communities with the skills necessary for academic achievement, life management, spiritual growth, and Christian leadership. In the Diocese of NJ, UrbanPromise currently serves the cities of Camden and Trenton. “[Life is] too good not to try to live according to God’s will, and when we fall down, to get up again, for the sake of that loving mother, father and friend whom we’ve seen in Jesus Christ,” Bishop Councell said in a service celebrating his ministry in October 2013. “We have to rejoice, we have to celebrate, because He’s raised from the dead, so there’s nothing to stand between you and that love. May that love prosper among you; I’ll see you in church.”

More than 20 films will be shown weekends, with programs beginning at 5 p.m. or 7 p.m. Opening weekend is June 1 and will kick off with the short film “Headless Swans”, which is about a private detective who exposes extramarital affairs, and has grown to enjoy watching the destruction of the relationships he’s investigating.

Opening weekend will wrap up June 3 with a program including the feature “306 Hollywood” about siblings who lose their grandmother, then figure out what to do with all of her possessions. Other highlights of the festival include “The Best of All Worlds”, from Austrian filmmaker Adrian Goipoinger.

SUMMER THEATER PREVIEW by Anthony Stoeckert

A Season of Stories on Stage

ll the world may not be a stage, but there are lots of stages in the area that will be busy with theatrical presentations all summer long. Drama, comedy, musicals, new plays and classics will be performed by professional and community groups over the next few months, so start making your plans, and start ordering your tickets. The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey in Madison has opened its new season with “Tartuffe,” the famous farce by Moiliere, translated by Richard Wilbur. The play, running through June 10, follows Orgon, who is enamored with the title hypocrite and arranges for his daughter to marry Tartuffe. The rest of the family sees through Tartuffe and devises a plan to expose Tartuffe for who he is. Few nights of theater are more enjoyable than the Shakespeare Theatre’s annual outdoor play on the campus of the College of St. Elizabeth in Morristown, and this year’s choice is “The Servant of Two Masters,” running June 20 through July 29. Bonnie J. Monte, the theater’s artistic director, wrote a new adaptation of Carlo Coldoni’s comedy in which Truffaldino tells the audience about his abilities to keep his two masters happy. The comedy on the outdoor stage will be contrasted with tragedy indoors when the Shakespeare Theatre present’s the Bard’s “Titus Andronicus,” July 18 through Aug. 5.

This will mark the Shakespeare Theatre’s first production of “Titus Andronicus” in more than 30 years. Rounding up the summer at the Shakespeare Theatre is Noel Coward’s “Blithe Spirit,” a sophisticated comedy in which a medium performs a séance and contacts the ghost of the host’s late wife. It will run Aug. 15 through Sept. 2. For tickets and information, go to www.shakespearenj. org or call 973-408-5600. Bucks County Playhouse’s summer season kicked off with “An Act of God,” David Javerbaum’s comedy in which God returns to Earth with a new set of Ten Commandments. It runs through June 16. Last year, Bucks County Playhouse had a smash with “Guys and Dolls,” and this summer will offer another musical classic when “42nd Street” is presented at the theater in New Hope, Pennsylvania. The ultimate backstage musical is about Peggy Sawyer, who comes to New York seeking to become a Broadway star. Based on the classic movie, it features legendary songs such as “We’re in the

Princeton gets a gift of bike lanes

I found out on my birthday — May 20 — that I count, because I was counted. Unbeknownst to me, I stepped on a counter on the sidewalk along Wiggins Street, and I became a data point in a Princeton initiative that turned out to be hands-down (or more accurately feet-down) the best gift of the day — a celebration of biking and walking. The gift, inspired by the Princeton Bicycle Advisory Committee, comprised about 16,000 feet of black-and-yellow-and-white tape, dozens of cans of white spray paint, and several laminated signs. The cost was $5,000, a relative bargain, even by Amazon standards, because, for the most part, it was a one-day, free delivery by Princeton volunteers. Forty volunteers, including Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert, plus two members of the Princeton Engineering Department, spent six hours on Sunday installing temporary bike lanes on Wiggins Street from Sylvia Beach Way (the road behind the library) to Walnut/Chestnut lane. The bike lanes will stay in place through May 29 , but the counters that count pedestrians on the sidewalks, bikes in the bike lanes, and cars on the roadway, were put into place May 11 and will remain until the first week of June. The data collection, facilitated by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission, will report the before, during, and after transportation use of the halfmile of roadway. I hope this is a gift that keeps on giving. The pilot program of temporary bike lanes in a high-traffic area may pilot the town’s way to a permanent installation. I urge bikers and walkers to get out there and be counted on Wiggins and contribute

Volunteers helped install temporary bike lanes in Princeton. The lanes will be in place through May 29. to my birthday celebration. Residents can make sure they count by taking the online survey on the town’s website www.princetonnj.gov. A smaller group of volunteers worked two weeks ago to canvass the homeowners along Wiggins to get their reaction to the installation of temporary bike lanes that will lead to the elimination of that precious Princeton commodity, parking spaces. According to Lempert and Princeton Engineer Deanna Stockton, the response was overwhelmingly positive. The people living in the neighborhood are fans of walking and biking around town and are willing to live with parking space deprivation in order to get the bikes off the sidewalks and into a safe lane of transit on the roadway. The planning for my gift began last September on International Parking Day, a day when parking spaces can be repurposed for pedestrian lifestyle uses, such as temporary outdoor seating and/or entertainment spaces. “But this repurposing only lasts one day, and the Princeton Bicycle Advisory Committee decided to adopt a goal

to create a longer parking-space-takeover project in the form of bike lanes,” Stockton said. “The engineering department embraced the concept, as did the mayor and elected officials, even though no formal council resolution was required to implement this temporary data-collection.” This project is a perfect fit for the PBAC whose goals are to: • Promote and accommodate walking and bicycling as modes of transportation • Advise the mayor and council about the character, safety and location of future pedestrian and bicycle facilities and/or accommodations. Since I am a member of the Princeton Complete Streets Committee, this birthday present was no surprise. It was originally scheduled for installation on May 19 , but Mother Nature made sure the work took place on my birthday. The surprise element of the initiative was related to the starting point of the bike lanes at Sylvia Beach Way. Sylvia Beach (March 14, 1887 – Oc-

Among those who helped install the bike lanes were Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert (left) and Municipal Enginner Deanna Stockton.

tober 5, 1962), born Nancy Woodbridge Beach, was an American-born bookseller and publisher who lived most of her life in Paris, where she was one of the leading expatriate figures between World War I and II. She is known for her Paris bookstore, Shakespeare and Company, where she published James Joyce’s controversial book, “Ulysses” (1922), and encouraged the publication and sold copies of Hemingway’s first book, “Three Stories and Ten Poems” (1923). The Sylvia Beach Papers — a collection that documents the life and activities of Sylvia Beach (18871962), particularly relating to Shakespeare & Company — is housed at the Princeton University Library. When they start naming bike lanes, I want to be first on the list. This might serve as a fund-raising tactic to pay for the permanent installation and would be a great birthday present to honor those who love walking and biking. It lasts longer and is healthier than my favorite gifts after bike lanes: chocolate and Cheetos.

HEALTH MATTERS

Dr. Harvey E. Smires, M.D.

Robotic arm-assisted surgery is transforming joint replacement procedures More than 1 million hip and knee replacements are performed in the United States each year, according to the National Institutes of Health, and with the aging of the baby boomers that number is expected to grow. Moreover, advances in technology and surgical techniques are making joint replacement an increasingly popular treatment option for younger patients who suffer from joint conditions. Today, surgeons affiliated with the Jim Craigie Center for Joint Replacement at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center (PMC) are offering robotic arm technology for total knee, partial knee and total hip replacement surgery. Arthritis common reason for joint replacement Your knee is made of three basic parts that move and work together to ensure smooth motion and function, while your hip is made of two. When osteoarthritis or other conditions affect the knee or hip, the cartilage that serves as a cushion for the joint wears away or is destroyed. The bones then rub up against each other, causing pain and stiffness, particularly first thing in the morning or after resting. Other common symptoms of osteoarthritis include: • Limited range of mo-

tion or stiffness that goes away after movement • Clicking or cracking sound when a joint bends • Mild swelling around a joint • Pain that occurs upon starting an activity or that worsens with activity or toward the end of the day Osteoarthritis is one of the most common reasons for joint replacement. Other conditions that affect the joints include rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis and bone conditions such as Paget’s disease and osteonecrosis. Partial vs. total Joint replacement is a surgical procedure in which parts of an arthritic or damaged joint are removed and replaced with metal, ceramic or hard plastic implants. For knees, if the damage has occurred on both sides of the joint or in all three joint components, a total knee replacement procedure may be performed. During the procedure, the diseased portion of the knee is resurfaced, saving as much of the patient’s healthy bone and surrounding tissue as possible. An implant is then secured in the joint to allow the knee to move smoothly again. Sometimes, the cartilage damage in your knee is limited to just one side or the kneecap. When this happens, a partial knee replacement procedure may be appropriate. Partial

and technological advances that lead to longer-lasting implants.

Dr. Harvey E. Smires knee replacement is similar to total knee replacement except only one of the three knee components is replaced. In total hip replacement, the upper part of your femur — called the femoral head — is replaced with an artificial stem, which fits inside the femur bone. The damaged cartilage surface of your socket is removed and replaced with a metal socket or cup. Screws are sometimes used to hold the socket in place. A plastic and ceramic bearing is then inserted between the new stem and the socket to allow for a smooth gliding surface. In the past, joint replacement was predominately for patients age 60 and older, but today it is considered for younger individuals as well, thanks to refined surgical techniques

A new approach Robotic-arm assisted surgery is a new approach to joint replacement that enables surgeons to more accurately plan and place implant components. Prior to robot-assisted procedures, patients undergo CT scans that are used to create 3D images of their unique anatomy. The information is then uploaded to the robot to help the surgeon plan the procedure. The 3D modeling enables the precise placement of the implants and enables the robot to limit the movement of surgical instruments to a pre-designated area. The system also allows the surgeon to make adjustments to the plan during surgery as needed. For knee replacement, the robot can also simulate the full range of motion and ensure the knee is in complete alignment. For hip replacement, the robotic technology allows surgeons to align the cup in position to lower the incident of dislocation and often restore normal leg length. The precision of robotic-arm assisted surgery can result in faster recovery, a higher rate of patient satisfaction and longer-lasting mobility. Patients are often up and moving almost pain-

free the same day as surgery. The Jim Craigie Center at PMC has earned the Gold Seal of Approval from The Joint Commission for total hip replacement and total knee replacement. In addition, U.S. News and World Report has rated PMC high performing in hip and knee replacement procedures. For more information about robotic arm-assisted

joint replacement surgery at the Jim Craigie Center for Joint Replacement or to find an orthopaedic surgeon with Penn Medicine Princeton Health, go to www.princetonhcs.org or call 888-742-7469. Harvey E. Smires, M.D. is a board certified orthopaedic surgeon on the Medical Staff at Penn Medicine Princeton Health.

2017 Realtor® Of the Year – Mercer County

CRS, e-PRO, ASP, SRS, Sales Associate, Realtor Office: 609-924-1600

Here I am with my family. Jonathan, Abigail, Laurel, and my husband Tom.

Cell: 908-391-8396 | Email: donnamurray@comcast.net | www.donnamurrayrealestate.com

. Tell us about yourself. A. I grew up in a small town called Silver Creek, which is in the western section of Chautauqua County, NY, an hour past Buffalo on Lake Erie. I’m still a diehard fan of the Buffalo Bills. I then worked as a flight attendant for American Airlines for 18 years, traveling the world, before going into Real Estate.

. Tell us about your family. A. My husband Tom works for American Airlines as a 777 Captain Check Airman. He recently had the honor of serving as one of the four captains who flew Pope Francis during his U.S. visit. We have three children, who attended St. Paul’s School in Princeton and Notre Dame High School (’09, ’11, ’13) in Lawrenceville. Jonathan graduated Rutgers Engineering program and works for TD Securities, Abigail is a grad student at Rider going for a Masters in Clinical Mental Health, and Laurel is graduating Seton Hall in May 2017 and continuing there in the fall for grad school.

. What do you like to do for fun? A. I love taking our Cavalier King Charles dogs, Shamrock and Sebastian, for walks on the many

253 Nassau Street Princeton, NJ 08540 609-924-1600

nature trails in the area. I also love to entertain and enjoy volunteering in the community. Most importantly, I cherish when my family of five can coordinate our busy schedules to spend some quality time together.

. What do you see in the future for Real Estate? A. Real Estate is continuing to change quickly with the times. More listings will have interactive floorplans, 3D virtual tours, aerial drone pictures, etc., and the industry will continue to find new innovations for enticing buyers. Buyers search online, wanting to be equipped with as much information as possible before choosing to visit a home, and I anticipate that trend continuing with the aid of technology.

. To what do you attribute your success in Real Estate over the past 20 years? A. I am patient with my clients and enjoy educating them on real estate in our area. I do my best to treat each client and property with the same care. I don’t believe in cutting corners when it comes to providing service or marketing a home as I would my own, no matter the size of the home or the price point. My motto is “From starter to stately homes, and everything in between.” I also maintain my knowledge of the ever-changing inventory, have excellent negotiating skills, and stay up to date on industry technology. Here are my two dogs, Shamrock and Sebastian, playing in our backyard.
