71 East Broad, LLC will publish revised notice for commercial project By ANDREW HARRISON

Staff Writer

ANDREW HARRISON/STAFF

Building structure is the former home of Revolution Tire and Service in Hopewell Borough on Sept. 3.

Hopewell Borough Planning Board members will have to wait to hear testimony on a proposed commercial retail and restaurant project at 71 E. Broad St. A public hearing on the project was scheduled for Sept. 2 but has been carried to the planning board’s Oct. 7 meeting. Representatives of 71 East Broad, LLC, the applicant proposing the new project, informed the board of their intention to re-notice and

provide update plans for the commercial project. The current property and structure used to be the home of Revolution Tire and Service, a tire and car repair shop, which is now closed in the borough. The property is at the corner of East Broad Street and Maple Street. According to application documents, the existing building structure would be remodeled to accommodate new commercial retail space and a restaurant. The applicant had originally proposed removing a portion of the build-

ing at the rear and a small addition at the front of the building toward East Broad Street. The adjacent parking area would be repaved to accommodate customer and ADA parking. At the time of the Sept. 2 meeting, the applicant was seeking a variance for a continuation of an existing non-conforming condition for the front setback from Maple Street; a variance for maximum floor area of single retail use in the borough business zone (B-R Zone); and had not requested any design waivers.

Pennington School students begin academic year The Pennington School formally opened its 183rd academic year with a traditional but virtual convocation on Sept. 11. The program began with performances by the Pennington School Orchestra, followed by an invocation by Chaplain David Hallgren. Four speakers delivered welcoming remarks: Peter J. Tucci ’79, chair of the Board of Trustees, represented the board; Lida Castro, chair of the World Languages Department, represented the faculty; Kenza Idrissi ’21 represented the Upper School; and Aimee (Dingtong) Zou ’25 represented the Middle School, according to information provided by the school. In the convocation address,

Head of School Dr. William S. Hawkey spoke to the unprecedented difficulties of the past several months and the year ahead. “This year, we face one of the greatest challenges that we have had to face in our long and storied history, and we will face them together, with our core values to steer us,” Hawkey said, according to the statement. Hawkey described the many transformations that the Pennington campus has undergone to prepare for the hybrid academic year. From the 360-degree cameras installed in classrooms, to the nine tents used for outdoor learning spaces, The Pennington School is committed to delivering an outstanding education to all students,

whether they are learning on campus or connecting to classes from home, according to the statement. “Our objectives centered on creating a more robust learning environment while preserving as much of the special Pennington community experience as possible,” Hawkey said in the statement. “We begin this academic year with joy that so many of us can be together, and that we have the technology to include all of our students in the classrooms, even if they are learning from home.” Despite the uncertainty and hardship of the pandemic, Hawkey said he feels hopeful that Pennington students are well prepared to rise to the occasion, ac-

cording to the statement. He left the students with words of hope and encouragement: “Don’t underestimate the talents that each of you bring to this school and to our world. Pennington students past and present are making an impact locally and globally, and you can too.” The Pennington School is an independent coeducational school for students in grades 6-12, in both day and boarding programs. The curriculum is college preparatory, with an emphasis on individual excellence, fostering the development of the whole student through academics, athletics, community service, and the creative and performing arts.

FoHVOS to host Virtually Together Gala on Sept. 26 Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space (FoHVOS) annual fundraising gala will be virtual in 2020. The Virtually Together Gala, which begins at 7 p.m. on Sept. 26, will give back to local restaurants hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic. There will be two ways the gala gives back to local restaurants. The first was catering. “Great local catering is a hallmark of our annual galas and we didn’t want attendees to miss out just because they are online,” said

Lisa Wolff, FoHVOS executive director. “So, we are referring gala attendees to pick up local fare the day of the gala. Participating restaurants have planned something special for FoHVOS gala attendees to reserve in advance. They can enjoy it during the gala or at the after-party.” Participating “Dining Together” restaurants include: In Hopewell, Antimo’s Italian Kitchen, Aunt Chubby’s Luncheonette, Blue Bottle Café, Boro Bean, Brick Farm Market, Entrata and Peasant

Grill. In Pennington, Bonne Assiette, Emily’s Café and Pennington Bagel. In Pennsylvania, Colonial Farms, according to a press release. “We are so excited to once again be working with FoHVOS for this new normal version of the fall gala,” said Rory Philipson, owner of the Blue Bottle Café. “Eating local, conserving natural resources and preserving farmland is absolutely essential for restaurants like ours to continue.”

Innovative Surgical Technique Can Restore Sensation After Mastectomy

econstructive surgery after a mastectomy to treat breast cancer is increasingly common among women in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society. With the rebuilding of the shape and look of their breast, many women regain their self-image, self-confidence, and quality of life after cancer treatment. Yet until recently, breast reconstruction surgery could not restore sensation, leaving women with a numb breast for the rest of their lives. Today, however, patients at Penn Medicine Princeton Health have the option of reconstructive surgery that uses their own to tissue to recreate the breast and reconnects the nerves that supply sensation, helping women to look and feel more like themselves. Alternative to Implants The American Cancer Society estimates that more than 276,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women throughout the United States this year. Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer in American women, second only to several types of skin cancer. Many women will choose to undergo some form of mastectomy – the surgical removal of the breast – as part of their treatment program and will opt for reconstructive surgery. While the most common form of reconstructive surgery uses artificial breast implants, women seeking an alternative have the option of a procedure called the Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap (DIEP) or free flap procedure, which uses the patient’s own living tissue to replace the breast tissue removed in a mastectomy. During the procedure, a flap of tissue is removed from the abdomen similar to the area removed during a tummy

THE STATE WE’RE IN

tuck, and that flap is shaped to recreate the breast. The flap contains skin, fat, and blood vessels that bring healthy tissue and blood supply to the affected area. Little or no muscle is taken from the abdomen, and by using the patient’s own tissue, the reconstructed breast incorporates naturally with surrounding tissue. Restoring Sensation Surgeons performing the free flap procedure may also use an innovative surgical technique that can restore sensation to the breast tissue. This technique, a nerve graft, reconnects one of the nerves that supply sensation to the chest to one of the sensory nerves in the free flap tissue. Once the nerve has regenerated, which typically takes between nine months and a year, patients may experience the return of some degree of sensation in the new breast. It is important to note that patients who have had the nerve graft procedure will require an anesthetic during nipple reconstruction because they will feel some sensation and pain. Most nipple reconstruction procedures occur between six months and one year after breast reconstruction surgery. While a longer and more complex surgery, a free flap procedure with the nerve graft leaves patients with a natural looking and feeling breast, as the tissue will change as the body changes. Natural Looking and Feeling Studies have shown that the risk of infection, hospital readmission and future revision surgeries are reduced with the free flap procedure. Additionally, improved blood supply provided by the transferred tissues also helps the healthy tissue respond better to the effects of radiation treatments.

Free flap reconstruction can also reduce future visits to the doctor, and a patient can have the procedure at the same time as their mastectomy or as a delayed procedure any time after a mastectomy. Patients who have had prior breast implant-based reconstruction and are not fully satisfied are also candidates for the flap procedure. The procedure is well tolerated by many patients. Generally, if a patient is approved to undergo anesthesia, they can be cleared for the flap procedure. Any patient undergoing the free flap procedure is a candidate for the nerve graft. The free flap nerve graft procedure is part of the comprehensive breast reconstruction program at Penn Medicine Princeton Health. Federal law mandates that all insurances must cover any post-mastectomy breast reconstruction. Highly Personal Decision The decision to have breast reconstruction surgery is highly personal. If you are considering this procedure, talk with your doctor and with a plastic surgeon that is experienced in breast reconstruction prior to your mastectomy so you can understand all of your options. Together with your doctors, you can plan the best treatment approach to meet your unique goals. For more information or to find a physician with Penn Medicine Princeton Health, call 1-888-742-7496 or visit www.princetonhcs.org.

The timeless tale of monarch butterﬂy migration

o you ever read through old newspapers and notice that sometimes the topic and perspective are still pretty current and fresh? So much has changed in the world in recent decades, but our fascination with nature is timeless. Please enjoy the following column written 34 years ago by Dave Moore, the former executive director of the New Jersey Conservation Foundation, with a few edits to reflect more recent research and understanding: Ever notice those bright orange and black butterflies that fly purposefully through our yards and sometimes cluster overnight in trees? They are monarch butterflies, and their flight is purposeful: They are migrating south for the winter. The monarch butterfly migrates all the way to the mountains of central Mexico, often from as far as New Jersey, New England or nearby Canada. This is one of the most amazing migration stories in nature; one in which the route has been partially realized by naturalists for a long time, but fully understood only a decade ago with the discovery of the long-sought wintering place of the monarchs. Researchers are still adding to the story. For example, it was at first thought that the same butterflies returned to New Jersey a year after their southward migration. It’s now realized that it’s the grandchildren – or even the greatgreat-great-great grandchildren – who come back to the northeast. Science is still a long way from learning how the butterflies have managed to arrive at the same small area of Mexico over millions of years. But they have, and during their migrations they even congregate on certain trees at specific locations, year after year. These way-points in themselves are popular tourist attractions, as is the Mexican destination. One butterfly tree of which I am aware stands in Island Beach State Park near Barnegat Lighthouse, and is decorated by thousands of monarchs each autumn. When science finally solves the riddle of the monarch’s migration, I suppose a little more magic will have gone out of our lives. But the danger of lost magic is greater for another reason, and not just in terms of monarch migrations. Can you imagine a world without our common songbirds, or minus many of the larger birds that annually make long round trips south and north? While we protect them up here, their habitats are being bulldozed and burned away in South America as many countries destroy forests to make way for new development. The monarchs are lucky; Mexico has set aside their

wintering place for tourist and scientific reasons. Not so with the birds. There are so many plants and animals we know nothing about that are becoming extinct before we can really study them. Fewer than a tenth of the plants, insects and animals on earth have been identified. The rate of extinction is speeding up due to people’s blind exploitation of the environment. We must do much more to protect reserves where plants and animals can survive in the hope of someday revealing exciting secrets for medicines and foods to help us survive. We must also do a better job of regulating our own chemicals so they don’t do us and other life forms in. Bugs and weeds don’t attract as much attention as whales and pandas, but they are equally important in the scheme of things. Monarch butterflies feed only on milkweed, for example. If we lose the milkweed, we lose the butterfly. And by the way, monarchs have the ability to turn milkweed juice into a toxic substance that has taught predators to avoid them. Other butterflies have learned to mimic monarchs to get the same protection. With all this loss of life-forms, and with our growing interest in genetic engineering, genetic diversity becomes more important, even as it’s being threatened. That means we must protect natural areas worldwide, protect native

plants and animals, and learn more about the effects of our pesticides and other chemicals before it’s too late. You have read about possible links between the herbicide Agent Orange and cancer. Agent Orange contains 2,4-D, a common herbicide. Recent studies point toward a connection between 2,4-D and three cancers in humans, including Hodgkin’s disease. Given that everything is connected to everything else, we need to proceed carefully. Not only do we not know who lives in the world with us, but we don’t even know what the majority of chemical substances we manufacture are doing to them or us. Back to Michele: Since Dave’s nature column was written in September 1986, more research has been done on monarch butterfly migration, as well as on the harmful impacts of many chemical herbicides and pesticides, not just Agent Orange. The annual journey of monarch butterflies still amazes. In Cape May, the New Jersey Audubon Society now monitors monarch butterflies each fall as they congregate on the peninsula in preparation for their flight across the Delaware Bay. If you get a chance this fall, be sure to visit to see migrating birds and butterflies. Michele S. Byers is the executive director of the New Jersey Conservation Foundation, Far Hills.

Gas powered SUVs are killing us

UVS are the second largest cause of the global increase in emissions over the last decade. This is the conclusion of the International Energy Agency in 2019, as reported in The Guardian. The emissions from the rising numbers of gas-powered SUVs in the US, Europe and China have exceeded those from shipping, aviation, heavy industry and trucks. SUVs emit 14% more carbon dioxide (CO2) than small passenger cars. The levels of CO2 from these vehicles are equal to emissions from the UK and Netherlands combined. The change-over from cars to SUVs began in the 1980s, when the automobile manufacturers discovered many drivers liked their size and height. The industry then lobbied lawmakers to classify SUVs as light trucks, allowing them to adhere to “less-stringent” fuel efficiency standards, thereby allowing greater emissions. The Trump administration, amid its many transgressions, has been working to rollback fuel efficiency standards – standards supported by some manufacturers but opposed by others. The director of Ohio State University’s Center for Urban and Regional Analysis points out that their height, size, and weight, on average 3 tons, make SUVs “killing machines” when they collide with pedestrians, or bicyclists, or even small cars. And they are terribly inefficient for running errands such as buying groceries. And yet SUVs are forecast to make up half of all car sales this year for the first time. Electric vehicles, so far, account for only 1 out of every 100 vehicles sold in the U.S. Fortunately, in the Princeton area, electric cars – Teslas, BMWs, Nissans and some Ford models – have been purchased or leased by many drivers. Tesla, and

soon others, it is to be hoped, will be rolling out electric SUVs, along with a variety of electric passenger cars. The State of New Jersey offers rebates to those who buy or lease EVs. This summer’s heat, hurricanes and flooding, along with the ongoing fires ravaging Washington, Oregon and California, all attest to our changing climate, where many states are experiencing hotter and dryer conditions, while some such as Iowa have been ravaged by fierce rainstorms, obliterating crops. Nearly 5 years ago most of the world’s countries committed to collectively responding to the climate crisis. Since that commitment, the world has seen the five hottest years on record. While a majority of those nations have not lived up to their promised emissions reductions, only our country among the world’s leaders, directed by our sad excuse for a president, has rejected that agreement. Should Trump be re-elected by the outdated Electoral College, this nation and many around the world, along with their populations, will suffer further destruction from our unattended changing climates. Europe has recognized the threat from gas-powered SUVs. There have been protests in Germany and calls in the UK for a ban on advertising gas-powered SUVs. Here, a report by regulators overseeing the nation’s commodities markets warns that the climate crisis threatens American financial markets. But with the Trump administration doing nothing about the crisis – in fact helping to make it worse – it is to be hoped that automobile manufacturerss will act responsibly and switch over to electric SUVs, and that states will support the purchasing and leasing of EVs.

Talking about COVID vulnerability with Bruce Traub

am old, I am elderly, I am in the COVID high-risk category. Numerous times during the past seven months, caring people looking out for my well-being have made sure to remind me of my age – a fact that I tried but failed to forget. At least my memory is in tact – in spite of my age. With the wisdom of an old person and looking out for my own well being, I knew it was time to talk about my age and COVID vulnerability with my friend Bruce Traub, whom I have known for 16 years. Bruce worked with me at Princeton Hospital where he was a senior vice president and chief financial officer until he left in 2012 to become a partner and chief financial officer at Fitness and Wellness Professional Services (F&WPS), which owns and operates nine hospital-affiliated fitness centers in New Jersey and one in Pennsylvania. Since 2012, I had run into Bruce several times at the various F&W facilities (Plainsboro, Montgomery, Hamilton, New Brunswick). I often would vary my locations depending upon the locations of my job-related meetings. He would be doing his secret shopper/undercover boss routine by working out at the various facilities in order to get a hands-on consumer experience. The F&W New Jersey facilities, which had been closed since March 16, re-opened for business on Sept. 8, and I was desperate to return. My outdoor walking/jogging routine was becoming increasingly hazardous. Early morning and evening walks now were in the dark. Daylight walks/jogs faced intrusions from hordes of unmasked young people huffing and puffing and talking and spitting as they sprinted past me – way too close for my comfort. My infamous tendency while jogging to lose myself in thought about the state of the world and the state of my soap opera life often resulted in my tripping over a variety of unseen objects and uneven surfaces. And falling, like

Bruce Traub

COVID, is something really bad for someone of my “advanced age.” As eager as I was to embrace a treadmill or elliptical machine again, I was worried that going to the gym would be analogous to playing a game of Russian roulette. So I called Bruce to pepper him with questions. The first thing I noted was his lack of whininess and complaining about the past several months. He was calmly philosophical and determined to pursue a thriving business under COVID-mandated conditions. “It certainly was jolting to come to work on Monday, March 16, and told we could no longer make a living. I thought that there had to be some sort of a mistake. ‘How can this happen?’ I kept saying. Well, it happened, and instead of worrying about the quality of the experience we were providing in the gyms, suddenly we were worried about managing our unraveling world: our 1,600 employees who were

laid off; our landlords to whom we owed rent; and, of course, the 55,000 members whose memberships were placed on hold and therefore no longer were providing a revenue stream. To add to the stress, we initially were given a July 4 opening date and then that was yanked,” Bruce said. Gyms were portrayed as lethal petri dishes of COVID viruses, so Bruce and the leadership team knew that overcoming the negative image would be a marketing challenge equivalent to running an uphill marathon. Instead of dropping out of the race, F&WPS exercised its determination to succeed. “Because all of our facilities are joint ventures with hospitals (five different health systems in New Jersey), we have a huge responsibility to implement the COVID protection operations laid out for us by the state with unrelenting discipline and to go beyond the minimum. People come to us to get health and stay healthy – we have to get this right,” Bruce said. Everyone who walks into the facilities – employees and members – are screened (temperature), questioned, hand sanitized – each time they enter; all machines are six feet apart; capacity is limited to 25%; trainers continually clean machines; wipes are more plentiful than in a Lysol plant; hospital grade air filtration system (MERV-13 filters);

Kindbody opens new fertility clinic in Princeton Kindbody, a fast-growing health and fertility company, announced the opening of a new clinic in Princeton at 16 Chambers St. on Sept. 10. Kindbody’s newest clinic provides endto-end fertility services, including IVF and egg freezing, as well as gynecologic care and a virtual wellness platform, all designed to support patients from preconception through postpartum, according to a prepared statement from Yang Communications. Kindbody is powered by proprietary technology, including a sophisticated patient portal and electronic medical records system (KindEMR) that enables a seamless and transparent experience for both patients and employers, according to the statement. “We made the investment in developing the KindEMR because we are committed to clinical excellence. A customized solution allows us to capture more accurate and fully integrated data across our systems, leading to evidence-based decisions that improve clinical quality, safety and outcomes for our patients,” Dr. Lynn Westphal, Kindbody chief medical officer, Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, said in the statement. “We have an internal engineering team, which allows us to make improvements easily and build a stronger and more intelligent system over time.” In addition to building its own clinics

trainers continually pacing the facility to watch for any protocol violations; classes take place, but registration is required and all participants are masked and positioned at a safe distance from one another. “I think it is riskier to go into a supermarket than to come to one of our gyms,” Bruce said. What about the health of the business, I asked Bruce. “Some individuals have frozen/paused their membership or cancelled completely. But interestingly enough, we have made up for that with new memberships. Since reopening, we are selling memberships at a pace that we never expected. I think the pandemic has made people focus on being healthy and are eager to get to the gym and work with our extremely well-qualified trainers (most have four-year college degrees and all have attained special national fitness training certification. “I am optimistic that we will make all this work and get to a post-COVID place stronger than we were before COVID. All this has given me an opportunity to grow personally and professionally in unexpected ways. … It all builds character,” he said. I would bet, however, that Bruce has had enough character building and would like to focus on muscle building.

and technology, Kindbody is increasing access by offering a premium benefit solution to employers through its own Kindbody clinics and a network of more than 200 partner clinics. Their approach features seamless care navigation, direct purchasing and inclusive bundled rates, resulting in pricing up to 30% less than other fertility benefit programs, according to the statement. New Jersey is one of only 17 states with mandated fertility coverage. The state requires fully-insured companies with over 50 employees to provide coverage for up to four IVF cycles, but excludes self-insured employers. “Cost is the number one factor affecting patients’ ability to receive treatment, so we want to provide a premium experience, but cost-effective option for those employed by self-insured companies, as well as those who are not supported by the mandate,” Kindbody Founder and CEO Gina Bartasi said in the statement. Princeton marks Kindbody’s fourth market after opening clinics in New York and Los Angeles in 2019 and San Francisco in January 2020. Kindbody’s national expansion will continue in the fourth quarter with additional locations in New York, Los Angeles and Silicon Valley. For more information, visit www.kindbody.com

Running on positivity: Gilda’s Club South Jersey launches virtual Dragon Run 5K to recoup some of the estimated $300K lost in 2020 fundraising By Kristen Dowd Staff Writer

Gilda’s Club South Jersey provides the human side of cancer care. “All day, cancer patients are going to very clinical, sterile settings in hospitals and doctor offices,” Jessica Melville said. “We have a clubhouse, and it looks like a home.” There are more than 16,000 people diagnosed with cancer each year in South Jersey, and Gilda’s Club is the area’s only cancer support community offering a free, comprehensive slate of psychosocial programs to support adults and children impacted by cancer – both the patients and their loved ones. While Gilda’s Club South Jersey’s cozy clubhouse with the organization’s signature red front door is nestled in the Linwood suburbs, the nonprofit serves the entire South Jersey region, drawing members from Burlington, Camden and Gloucester counties, in addition to Cumberland, Ocean, Salem, Cape May and Atlantic counties. Gilda’s Club is named for comedian Gilda Radner, who died of ovarian cancer in 1989. Melville came on board as the GCSJ development coordinator just over a year ago, recently rising in the ranks to development director. Fundraising is a big part of her focus, and 2020 was quite a year to find her footing, to say the least. “We have canceled multiple fundraising events this year, probably totalling $300,000 in loss for us,” Melville said. “It’s been difficult. We’ve been trying to think of ideas.” When COVID-19 caused the clubhouse to be shuttered in March, the nonprofit had to regroup and figure out a way to continue reaching and supporting its members. “We quickly made the change from inperson programming to a digital platform,” Melville explained. Facilitators and social workers turned to online conference platform Zoom, offering yoga classes, workout videos and more. The majority of clubhouse members made the switch, too. It was this virtual outreach that helped spark an idea for a new fundraiser. For the past few years, GCSJ has established a tradition of hosting an annual Dragon Boat Festival every August, a day of competition and camaraderie at Lake Lenape in Mays Landing. The regatta nets about $100,000 for the organization. Although the 2020 festival was canceled,

the event’s spirit lives on in the inaugural Dragon Run – A Virtual 5K. Kicking off on Aug. 30 (which would have been the date of this year’s festival), the grassroots effort runs through Sept. 30, giving participants a month to complete the 5K at their own pace. “First and foremost, we want our members to join,” Melville said. “And obviously the community – people in the area who know us, who support us, who know someone impacted by cancer – we want them to join, too.” There are two participation levels. For a $25 Running Dragon, participants receive a drawstring bag with the event logo that is filled with goodies. For a $35 Flying Dragon, they will receive the same, as well as a mystery Tshirt from a previous GCSJ event. “That’s just as trying to be resourceful,” Melville said with a laugh. But who doesn’t love a new T-shirt? That, along with the drawstring bags being donated by GCSJ founding member Dorothea Meltzer, means there is essentially no overhead for

the virtual 5K, putting the nonprofit in a good place to reach its $5,000 fundraising goal. One day into the month-long event, they were already at $500, so they’re “pretty hopeful,” Melville said. That makes sense, since hope is the name of the game at Gilda’s Club. Melville admits as the pandemic has gone on, there is worry. But she credits a fantastic chairman of their board and hard work of their small but dedicated staff in keeping them going. “Things are moving. Things are happening for us,” Melville said. “We have great leadership. Every one of us that works here has a great positive attitude. We’re pretty confident that we’re going to pull through. “We do need that support from donors and anyone reading who wants to help us out.” As a nonprofit, everything Gilda’s Club offers its members – including membership itself – is free of charge. There are workshops, educational lectures, support groups and social

activities. While most members hail from Atlantic and Cape May counties, Melville sees a silver lining in the organization’s current virtual platform. “We think it’s an invitation for people from other counties and other areas to join in,” Melville said. “We would love to branch out further. Even though we have the demographic area of all of South Jersey, the majority of our members are fairly local. “We would love the people in other counties west of us to know that we’re here.”

To join in the Dragon Run, visit www.charity.gofundme.com/dragonrun or call Gilda’s Club South Jersey at 609-926-2699. Gilda’s Club is also rafﬂing off a 2020 Kia Telluride this year. Tickets are $20 (with a maximum 5,000 tickets to be sold) and can be purchased at https://gcsj.gnosishosting.net/Portal/ RafﬂeTickets. The winner will be announced in December.

Three high school friends develop tool for consumers to find the best deals on products during pandemic Three high school friends came together to develop PriceMerge, a tool to help consumers during the novel coronavirus pandemic. Archit Mehta, a senior at West WindsorPlainsboro High School North; Parth Harish, a junior at John P. Stevens High School; and Darshan Lakshminaryan, a junior at Middlesex County Academy for Science, Mathematics and Engineering Technologies in Edison, launched PriceMerge in August. With the demand for necessary products during the coronavirus – face masks, hand sanitizer, soap and tissues – PriceMerge helps consumers compare prices of any product across thousands of websites and provides users with the best deals. With PriceMerge, consumers can also indicate a price they feel comfortable purchasing the products. The consumers will then receive an email when the price of the products falls below their indicated value. “For example, if the current best price for tissues is $10, and a user wants to buy them when they hit $5, they can indicate this on our website and they’ll receive an email with the link to the product when the product falls below $5,” Archit said. Within the first week, the site saw more than 10,000 visitors, which Archit called “thrilling.”

“That meant my product was truly making a difference in the world and was helping others to save money during the pandemic, which plagues our nation today,” he said. “The response so far has also been overwhelming with many visitors letting us know that our product was a game changer for them, helping to save time, energy, and, most of all, money. These responses motivate me to continue working on the website even in the face of any difficulties I encounter, because they remind me how this product has the potential to completely revolutionize the living situations of many Americans who don’t have steady sources of income.” Archit added that building PriceMerge has helped him realize the power of technology, while simultaneously motivating him to continue to help others in the world by using the technological skills he possesses in order to create change. Parth said he found “designing the algorithm” as the “most satisfying aspect of developing PriceMerge.” “After starting with one functionality, we reviewed feedback, built more attributes to the app, and optimized our methods,” he said. “My initial motive for PriceMerge was to give back to the community, but the learning opportunities this experience had to offer was what cap-

tivated my interest. The obstacles faced along the way were intriguing because I knew that the solutions existed, and that it was just a matter of research to find them.” After various versions of PriceMerge were sent out for feedback and beta testing, Parth said the work did not come to an end. “Marketing the application proved to be another complex process, but definitely one I had lots of fun in,” he said. “PriceMerge will not be one of those applications that is published and then never enhanced again. With time, comes new problems, ideas, and the need for new attributes.” Darshan said aside from the goal of helping people, developing PriceMerge from scratch was a great learning experience for everyone. He said his involvement taught him “the ins and outs of front end web development.” “On top of that, I was also able to learn a lot of PHP (programming), especially in the case of handling form inputs and scraping the web,” he said. “I’m really happy about all the problems we ran into along the way because all of them taught us valuable lessons. From basic programming etiquette to more complex interwebsite libraries, working on PriceMerge has definitely made me a better programmer.” For more information visit pricemerge.com.

2020 Chevrolet Silverado Crew LTZ 4WD wasn’t anywhere to put a baby in that pickup. There was no backseat in its cab. Within a few days, I reluctantly traded in that Chevy S-10 for a more practical Dodge Caravan minivan. So it was with great pleasure that I recently got to spend a week behind the wheel of a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado Crew LTZ 4WD pickup. Chevrolet first introduced the Silverado 21 years ago in 1999. It has been one of its most popular selling vehicles ever since. Chevrolet actually enhanced its Silverado line in 2019. Much remains the same for the 2020 version. However, it did make it available with a 3-liter Duramax turbo diesel six cylinder engine for the first time in 2020 and that is the powertrain my tester was equipped with. The six cylinder Duramax turbo diesel engine works like a dream for this truck. It couples with its 10-speed transmission extremely well making for a smooth yet powerful ride.

MAKE YOUR WISHES KNOWN Many individuals think that “advance directives” are a good idea, but are not urgently needed, and their family or physician will somehow know their wishes. Unfortunately, this line of thinking often leads to unnecessary stress and complications. The directive known as a “living will” clearly points out the kind of life-sustaining medical treatment(s) that a person would or would not want if he or she could not speak for him- or herself. Documents of this type should be on ﬁle with an attorney or trusted family member or friend. Another directive, known as a “medical power of attorney,” allows a select person to be an agent of the nonresponsive person and make decisions about his or her care.

pounds and can haul a pay load of more than 2,000 pounds – that’s a lot of heavy lifting. The base price of the Chevrolet Silverado Crew LTZ 4WD that I tested is $48,700. My tester was equipped with $12,925 worth of options. When you add in the $1,595 for delivery and destination, the bottom line comes in at the $61,720 tag. The options included $6,700 for the LTZ premium package, $2,495 for the upgraded Duramax turbo diesel engine, $2,125 for a technology package and $1,605 for the Z71 off road package. The LTZ premium package includes: leather seats; rear sliding power window; power tailgate; heated front and second row seats; blue tooth; Apple Carplay; a Bose premium sound system and more. The Z71 off road package includes: twin tube shocks; skid plates; hill descent control; dual exhaust with polished tips all weather mats and more. In the government’s five-star safety crash test the Silverado earned an overall score of four stars. It got four stars for the frontal crash test, five stars for the side crash test and four stars on the rollover test. The infotainment system in the Silverado is in line with the standard system that GM uses in most of its vehicles. It is easy to use and not all that complicated to learn. My overall impression of this Silverado is positive. However, there is still a lot of competition in the pickup field with the Dodge Ram and Ford F-150 also offering impressive trucks as well.

an impressive 277 horsepower, which I found was more than enough to get it up and down the interstate impressively and do aggressive passing or lane changing maneuvers. But perhaps the biggest advantage of the turbo diesel Silverado is in its economy. While most of the regular fuel engines that Chevy offers for the Silverado get an average of about 17 miles per gallon. This turbo diesel blows that away. According to the Department of Transportation EPA estimates, the turbo diesel Silverado averages an impressive 25 miles per gallon – 23 in city driving and 29 on the highway. The EPA also estimates that this Silverado will cost you about $1,900 per year in fuel costs as it uses about 4 gallons per every 100 miles. The overall appearance of the Silverado has a tough, aggressive stance and look, especially with the Z71 off road package that my tester was equipped with. Inside, the cabin is very spacious and comfortable and not overly opulent so it still has a somewhat utilitarian feel to it even though this heavily optioned rig carries a pricey $61,720 price tag. The ride is typical of what one would expect from a large pickup. It is comfortable and powerful but not very athletic. My wife always quips that it is like “driving a boat around.” Well you can’t criticize the Silverado for what it isn’t. It obviously isn’t a sports car. It has a big sort of clunky feel to its ride and handling – but that is to be expected. Where the Silverado excels beyond what any sports car can do is in its towing capacity and pay load. This Silverado can tow up to 13,400

ne of the most iconic pieces of Americana is the Chevy Pickup truck. Chevrolet has been selling factory produced pickup trucks for almost nine decades – 89 years. Of course, the various shapes and sizes of Chevy’s modern day pickups are nothing compared to the very simple models that first hit the market in 1931. Nevertheless, the concept has remained the same – a truck with a cab and a bed capable of hauling a pay load and towing. Twenty-three years ago when my wife was pregnant with my youngest son, I was motoring around in a Chevy S-10 pickup (manual transmission). I loved that truck – as most men do. My wife, on the other hand, hated it. On one particular notable ride, she looked at me cross and said, “What are we going to do with this truck when the baby is born?” I hadn’t really thought about it up until that point. But, she raised a good point. There

SHAPE SHIFTING

When teeth are irregularly shaped, slightly rotated, chipped, uneven, overlapping, or elongated, patients may assume the answer rests with orthodontic treatment. However, in a great many cases of the examples previously mentioned, teeth can be fixed with one of the quickest, least expensive, and conservative treatments in the dentist’s repertoire. “Tooth recontouring” (or “shaping”) simply involves removing small portions of tooth enamel with the goal of changing the tooth’s length, shape, or surface. All it takes is the skillful use of a sanding instrument that abrades, smooths, and polishes problematic features of a tooth. Once the tooth is deemed healthy enough (with an x-ray) to undergo treatment, tooth reshaping can be accomplished in minutes. We will be glad to discuss tooth contouring and other

available options of keeping your smile a beautiful, happy one. We believe in an informed patient, and we promise to provide you with information regarding all aspects of your dental care. You can always count on our experienced, honest recommendation for the treatment best suited to your dental needs. Here at Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman, our goals are the same as yours—a healthy mouth and a brilliant smile. Call 609924-8300 for an appointment. “Our commitment is to relationships of partnership, respect, and appreciation.” “We offer cosmetic and family dentistry as well as Zoom!® and Invisalign®.” Please e-mail your questions or comments to: drjamescally@yahoo.com P.S. Tooth recontouring is painless and requires no anesthetic.

Republican lawmakers slam Murphy’s cuts to horse racing industry

Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy’s decision to cut $20 million in funding to New Jersey’s horse racing industry is being met with criticism from two local Republican lawmakers who say the governor is jeopardizing the industry. The funding was signed into law in 2019 as a way to help Monmouth Park (thoroughbred racing), the Meadowlands (thoroughbred racing and harness racing) and Freehold Raceway (harness racing) bolster purses and increase races, according to a press release from the New Jersey Assembly Republicans. Last year was the first year for the program, which was designed to run for five years, and proved to be successful while meeting or exceeding economic growth benchmarks in the 2019 law, according to the press release. “The state’s horse racing industry stands alone in providing economic, environmental and entertainment values like no other business in New Jersey,” Assemblyman Ron Dancer (R-Monmouth, Ocean, Middlesex, Burlington) was quoted as saying in the press release. “With an estimated 42,000 horses on more than 7,200 farms that consist of 176,000 acres of tax-paying open space and green pastureland, the horse racing and breeding industry provides more than 13,000 jobs with a majority of the jobs being held by thousands of blue-collar New Jersey workers. “With unemployment in the state at historic levels, it is necessary and essential to continue the investment in the economic powerhouse that we know the horse racing industry to be,” Dancer said. Asked for a comment by Newspaper Media Group about Murphy’s reported decision to cut funding from the horse racing industry, Dennis Drazin, the chairman and CEO of Darby Development LLC, the operators of Monmouth Park, said the reported action “is not a final decision. The budget process is ongoing and we are hopeful the subsidy is restored.” A message left by Newspaper Media Group seeking comment from officials at Freehold Raceway was not returned. Newspaper Media Group reached out to a spokesman for the governor to obtain Murphy’s response to the Republicans’ press release regarding the funding reduction, but a statement from the governor was not provided. Assemblyman Rob Clifton (R-Monmouth) was quoted in the press release saying, “Horse racing is an industry

that employs thousands of people directly and indirectly, and these cuts will have far-reaching negative effects in our communities. “If it were to happen, it would put more New Jerseyans out of work and on the long line waiting to get benefits that may never come from Gov. Murphy’s Labor Department. It is an insult that borders on cruelty,” Clifton said.

According to the press release from the Republicans, as Murphy signed the legislation into law a year ago, he noted the importance of the horse racing industry as “a key economic engine, supporting thousands of jobs and attracting tourists and fans from around the world.” Managing Editor Mark Rosman contributed to this article.

New Jersey Fire Museum to hold fifth annual open house on Sept. 27 The New Jersey Fire Museum and Fallen Firefighters Memorial, 4 Polhemustown Road, Upper Freehold Township, will hold its fifth annual open house to showcase the history of firefighting on Sept. 27 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event is free of charge. The museum has a collection of fire apparatus dating back to 1814 and as new as the 1970s. The collection is made up of hand-drawn, horse-drawn and motorized units, according to a press release. A significant part of the open house will be a memorial service dedicated to New Jersey firefighters who have died in the line of duty. The service will also recognize all firefighters who have faithfully served their communities, according to the press release. The open house will include a free gift for all young

people who attend and activities for children. Parents can take pictures of their children in and around the trucks. Visitors will be able to watch a dramatic demonstration by the New Jersey division of the National Fire Sprinkler Association that will show the benefit of home fire sprinkler systems. The winner of a 50/50 raffle will be chosen at 3 p.m. The Hope Fire Company, as a food vendor, will offer a variety of lunch items. State Assemblyman Ronald Dancer (R-Monmouth, Ocean, Burlington, Middlesex) said, “Each year the open house event draws more people, more families. It is an opportunity this year, post-COVID, for families to spend a day outdoors, seeing and learning about the fire service in New Jersey over the last 200 years.”
