Zoning board to hear application for solar panels at church By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

The on-again, off-again public hearing on a proposal to install solar energy panels in the rear parking lot at the Church of St. Ann, 1253 Lawrenceville Road, Lawrence Township, is on again. The township’s Zoning Board of Adjustment will meet on July 25 at 7 p.m. at the municipal building to consider a request for a use variance being sought by

IGS Solar LLC, which plans to install the solar panels. A public hearing on the application was set for April, but was postponed until May because of a zoning board member’s conflict. The public hearing in May was postponed until July, because of issues regarding proper notice about the meeting. The application, which the zoning board will consider next week, calls for installing solar panels on the roof of the Church

of St. Ann and its Faith Development Center wing. Solar panels would also be installed on a canopy over the parking lot at the rear of the church. The canopy would cover the center of the parking lot. A use variance is needed because an accessory solar carport is not listed as a permitted use in the Education Government Institution or Residential 4 zones, according to a report prepared by zoning board planning con-

sultants Brian Slaugh and Andrea Malcolm. The solar carport also does not appear to qualify as an accessory use that is “customarily incidental” to the principal church and educational facility use, the report said. Solar or photovoltaic energy facilities or structures, such as those proposed by the applicant, have been deemed to be an “inherently beneficial use” under the state’s Municipal Land Use Law.

An inherently beneficial use is one that “serves the zoning purpose of promoting the general welfare” and thus satisfies the positive criteria for a use variance, the planners’ report said. At the same time, an applicant must show there will not be an “adverse effect” or “substantially negative impact” on the neighborhood or on the township’s Master Plan and zoning ordinance.

ACME to close next month By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

The ACME supermarket which has been a staple at the Lawrence Shopping Center in Lawrence Township since 1979 will close its doors next month. ACME Markets announced last week that it plans to close the store by Aug. 24, said ACME Markets spokesman Dana Ward. The store’s lease at the shopping center is expiring and the decision was made not to renew the lease “in part because this store has not met our goals for a number of years,” Ward said. “Like all retailers, ACME is constantly evaluating our store portfolio and has to look at every angle of the business. This includes our real estate,” Ward said. Closing a store is always a difficult decision, Ward said, but the company is “focused on growing our business and reinvesting those resources into our existing stores, along with aggressively exploring new sites.” Ward said ACME’s 16 fulltime and 64 part-time employees in Lawrence Township who are interested in remaining with the company will have the opportunity to transfer to open positions at nearby stores. ACME’s closing means there will not be a grocery store in the southern part of Lawrence Township, a development Mayor Christopher Bobbitt acknowledged. “It is a shame the store is closing because it provides a valuable resource to south Lawrence, as well as the surrounding community,” Bobbitt said. Without ACME, consumers will have to travel to ShopRite at the Mercer Mall on Route 1 South and Quakerbridge Road, or Wegmans on Nassau Park Boulevard at the Nassau Park Pavilion, which is across from the Mercer Mall. Other are food stores include McCaffrey’s at the Princeton Shopping Center on North Harrison Street in Princeton, and the Pennington Quality Market on Route 31 in Pennington.

Grant to fund Brunswick Pike streetscape plan

By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

A grant that will be used to pay for a conceptual streetscape plan for a section of Brunswick Pike, between Whitehead Road and the Brunswick Circle, has been approved, according to Lawrence Township officials. The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission approved the $60,000 grant under its Transportation and Community Development Initiative program, municipal officials said. The streetscape plan will include landscaping, hardscape and gateway elements for Brunswick Pike that acknowledge the historic transportation corridor which linked New York City and Philadelphia. Brunswick Pike is also known as Alternate U.S. Route 1.

While the grant will cover the costs of designing the streetscape improvement plan, it will not pay for the costs to install the landscaping and other improvements. Township officials said the streetscape project will help link the residential and commercial uses along Brunswick Pike. The goal is to make the Brunswick Pike corridor more pedestrian friendly, especially for senior citizens who live in the Heritage Village at Lawrence apartment building on Brunswick Pike.

Municipal officials also hope the streetscape project will spur economic development, including commercial development. The grant, along with funding from the township, will make an important contribution to the revitalization of the area, they said. Lawrence Township officials have been focused on redeveloping Brunswick Pike between Whitehead Road and the Brunswick Circle for more than 20 years, beginning with a Master Plan amendment in 1995 to des-

Emergency first responders will receive new equipment By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Lawrence Township’s emergency first responders will be getting some new gear, ranging from portable radios to automated external defibrillators. Members of the Township Council approved the purchase of the equipment,

most of which will be purchased under a state contract that can be used by municipalities. Council members gave the go-ahead to buy two sets of firefighter turnout gear, including jackets and pants, as well as three thermal imaging cameras and eight portable radios. All of the equipment

is being purchased under a state contract awarded to vendors by the state Department of Treasury’s Division of Purchase and Property, following a public bidding process. The two sets of firefighter turnout gear will cost $7,371, and the three thermal imaging cameras will cost $19,920. The

thermal imaging cameras are used by firefighters to find hidden pockets of fire in a building. The firefighter turnout gear and the thermal imaging cameras will be purchased from Continental Fire and Safety, Hamilton Township. The portable radios, which will be used by

The Princeton University Art Museum will have office and gallery space in the historic Bainbridge House on Nassau Street starting next year, as the 18th century building that predates the founding of the nation welcomes its next occupant. The university, the owner of the site since 1877, intends to renovate the building. Plans call for turning the second and third floors into offices for museum staff, while the first floor would have “gallery and gathering spaces,” Princeton spokesman Michael E. Hotchkiss said. He said art would be displayed there. “Multiple installations and/or exhibitions that will be open to the public will be planned annually for the gallery space,” he said. The building has been vacant since its most recent occupant, the Historical Society of Princeton, left at the end of 2015 and relocated to Quaker Road. “Construction work will commence after re-

ceiving the necessary approvals and permits,” Hotchkiss said. “Pending receipt of those approvals, the university hopes to have the building ready for occupancy and use by the art museum staff by early 2019.” One step along that process involves getting approval from the municipal Princeton Historic Preservation Commission for exterior renovations, which include changing the pattern of the windows. A hearing before the commission began July 16 and was continued until Aug. 20. The Bainbridge House was built in 1766 by Job Stockton, a local tanner who lived there, according to the historical society. It was named after William Bainbridge, who was born in the house and served in the U.S. Navy, including during the War of 1812. In more recent times, the Bainbridge House was the home of the Princeton Public Library, from 1910 to 1967, and then of the historical society, from 1967 to December 2015, said Eve Mandel, director of programs and visitor

services at the historical society. Initially, the university intended to start construction in 2016 and have the renovated building ready the following year; a schedule that went by the wayside. Nassau Hall sought to explain why the building has been vacant for more than two-and-ahalf years. “Upon the departure of the historical society, the university facilities team needed to take time to evaluate the Bainbridge House systems and structure to make appropriate plans for the restoration work and then engage the services of architects and engineers for the project,” Hotchkiss said. “The university is addressing multiple restoration issues in this project, including roof, windows and accessibility. The university has already engaged the services of MBB, an architectural firm based in New York City with extensive historic restoration experience to lead the planning effort,” he said. Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert said on July 16

Meet New Jersey’s official reptile, the bog turtle In 1974, reptile researcher Robert Zappalorti captured a female bog turtle in a Sussex County swamp. In keeping with protocols, he marked the turtle by cutting tiny identifying notches on the edge of her shell. After snapping her photo – which became the cover of his guidebook – Zappalorti released the turtle back into the swamp. More than 40 years later, in 2017, the same turtle was found by another researcher, Colin Osborn of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Amazingly, she was still in the same Sussex County swamp! “It just goes to show you that if the habitat is there for them, they will survive,” said Zappalorti, noting that the turtle’s boggy home was permanently preserved during the period between her first and second captures. Unfortunately, good habitat doesn’t exist for all bog turtles. Due to habitat loss and fragmentation, bog turtles are endangered in New Jersey. The state’s Endangered and Nongame Species Program estimates that there are fewer than 2,000 in the entire state. But there’s hope for these small, beautiful turtles, which grow to about four inches long and have bright yellow or orange markings on their necks.

Thanks to an effort launched by Princeton schoolchildren and embraced by local legislators, in June the bog turtle became New Jersey’s official state reptile. The official designation helps raise public awareness of threats to bog turtles – and support for measures to increase their population. The bog turtle originally found by Zappalorti is now estimated to be between 65-70 years old, which makes her the oldest known living bog turtle in the state. Brian Zarate, senior zoologist with the Endangered and Nongame Species Program, isn’t surprised that Zappalorti’s bog turtle didn’t travel far in the 43 years between sightings. “They’re homebodies,” said Zarate. “Bog turtles tend to stay within their little wetland complexes all year round” – feeding, breeding and hibernating. However, he added, many bog turtles are limited in their ability to move around and breed with bog turtles from other populations. “Close to half of the known bog turtle populations are probably isolated,” said Zarate. “That’s saddening.” Roadways are one major barrier, and so are patches of development and non-traversable agricultural fields. Bog turtles are also jeopardized when their swampy habitat becomes contaminated by pollutants, such as mo-

SOLUTIONS

tor oil, road salt, fertilizer and other chemicals carried by stormwater runoff. Not surprisingly, most of New Jersey’s bog turtles are found in rural areas with less roads and development. Sussex and Warren counties are the strongholds, with populations also found in parts of Morris and Hunterdon counties. In southern New Jersey, bog turtles are mainly found in Salem, Gloucester and Burlington counties. According to Zarate, the first step toward restoring bog turtle populations in New Jersey is protecting their habitats. “If we can do a good job at protecting wetlands and protecting the uplands surrounding the wetlands, that’s a primary approach to restoring them,” he said. Removing invasive plants will also improve the habitats. Improving connectivity between swampy habitats will also help. The Endangered and Nongame Species Program is creating safe passage for a population of bog turtles in Monmouth County by building two “turtle tunnels” beneath roads, along with fencing to guide turtles toward the tunnels. Bog turtles lay only one clutch of two to four eggs per year, so another important way to increase their numbers is to protect eggs and hatchlings from predators by placing wire cages around known nests.

Summer heat? Or something else? As most in the Princeton area could not help but notice, June went out and July came in with heat in the 90s and humidity. But the nagging question for many was: Is this just fluctuating summer weather, or is it an indication of global warming? Fortunately for us, cooler temperatures returned this last week. But looking at reports from across the country and around the world, “cooler” was not the prevailing pattern. Temperatures in San Diego reached 115. Heat and dry conditions produced forest fires in California and Colorado. Thirty-three died in Montreal from extreme heat. And according to a report in the Washington Post, a massive dome of intense heat and humidity settled over the eastern two-thirds of the United States and southeast Canada for close to a week. Denver; Mount Washington, New Hampshire; Burlington, Vermont; Montreal; and Ottawa all set records highs or the highest low temperatures ever recorded. And this record heat reached elsewhere around the globe. In the British Isles last week, stifling heat caused

roads and roofs to buckle, as multiple all-time highs were recorded in Scotland, and Shannon and Belfast, Northern Ireland. Record high were also experienced in parts of Eurasia, including Tbilisi, Georgia, which endured highest-ever temperatures; in Yerevan, Armenia, which tied its all-time record for July; and in southern Russia, which matched its warmest late-June levels. Over the past several years, rising arctic temperatures have resulted in both warmer winter temperatures and summer temperatures, which in turn, have reduced the amount of arctic sea ice, allowing the increasingly blue arctic ocean to absorb more heat, rather than have the ice reflect it back up into space or the atmosphere. This change has earned its own name, Arctic amplification. And it has its own impact on the region, namely, an abrupt weakening of the polar jet stream over the past two decades. This change, or weakening, has caused the polar jet to become much wavier, with greater wave “breaks” and blocking patterns where waves sit in the same place

James Michael Reilly steals the show in ‘The Servant of Two Masters’

night of laughs, romance and deceit were the common themes when The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey’s ‘The Servant of Two Masters’ came to life on their outdoor stage on the campus of the College of St. Elizabeth in Morristown. ‘The Servant of Two Masters,’ originally written

by Carlo Goldini in 1746, was translated and adapted by The Shakespeare Theatre’s own, Bonnie J. Monte in 2010. For the first time since being performed in that original 2010 debut, ‘The Servant of Two Masters,’ offers a hilarious and entertaining show for all in attendance. Set in 18th century Ven-

ice, Italy, Beatrice Risponi (Izzie Steele) disguises herself as her murdered brother, Federigo, to fool Pantalone de Bisognosi (Jay Leibowitz) into gaining his fortune along with his daughter, Clarice (Miranda Rizzolo), who her deceased brother was betrothed to. But, after hearing that Federigo was killed,

Les Agréments de Musique at Westminster Choir College

n the evening of Sunday, July 15, the Westminster Choir College in Princeton played as the host to the French Baroque concert, ‘Les Agréments de Musique,’ at the Bristol Chapel on the school’s campus. The French Baroque concert has been an annual performance held at the Bristol Chapel every summer since 2013. Led by John Burkhalter (recorders), Minju Lee (harpsichord) and Abigail Chapman (soprano), the group played works from Jean-Baptiste Lully, Élizabeth-Claude Jacquet de La Guerre, Louis-Nicolas Clérambault, Michel L’Affilard and Marc-Antoine Charpentier. The ensemble, which was originally just a duo, came about ten years ago after Burkhalter and Lee met for the first time. “The birth of, ‘Les Agréments De Musique’ took place when Minju and I had the opportunity to meet for the first time,” said Burkhalter. “It was actually at a program that didn’t involve French music at all, but 17th-century Dutch music. We were doing a program that was involved with a lot of mutual friends and colleagues. Our chemistry was just spot-on. We didn’t know much about each other. I had some brief background knowledge of her and she had the same for me, and I knew that she was a very fine harpsi-

chordist and she knew that I knew my way around a recorder. So, there was no agenda other than get together and just playing.” The two were asked to consider playing music that had a very difficult repertoire to it and the average musician couldn’t just sit down and start playing. “It looks very simple and unadventurous on the page, but to bring it to life, you have to have a background in historic performance practice that will allow you to infuse the musical mind with its body,” he said. “And we did this with such ease, that we just looked at each other and said, ‘This is so unbelievable.’ The chemistry is just so perfect for us. So, we thought we should just form an ensemble.” After realizing that they were both interested in playing French Baroque style of music, the two of them were met with the same task the they had recently faced. Would they be able to take on such a harrowing venture of an older style of music? “We got together to read through some pieces, and it was so easy to work with each other,” he said. “French music is just so elusive in terms of modern performance. It looks very uncomplicated on the page, but it is hugely complicated. There’s a poetry and a rhetorical underpinning to the music that you must know to play. I know there

So, between the two of us, the music just leaps off the page in a felicitous way.” Lee seemed to share the same thoughts as Burkhalter on their undertaking into such a difficult style of music. “We didn’t know each other but we played together, and we didn’t say anything, we just played, and our chemistry was just so good,” she said. “Since that time, we have been working together.” Lee came to America from Korea to study music at Stony Brook University in New York. After hearing someone play the harpsichord, Lee was immediately entranced by the sound. Already knowing how to play the keyboard, the transition over to the harpsichord was pretty easy

for Lee. She eventually changed her major to the instrument and received her master’s degree from Stony Brook. “I was very interested in keyboard music, and once I found out about harpsichord, there was some improvisation, but with my musical composition background, it was very natural for me to change over,” Lee said. Burkhalter and Lee have been playing music together for the last 10 years and performing at the Westminster Choir College for the last six years. But it wasn’t until this year that the duo became a trio. Moving to the area about a year and a half ago with her husband, Abagail Chapman, a singer known for her opera and oratorio style, met Burkhalter through a mutual friend. During the last holiday season, Chapman and

Burkhalter played some French carols together and realized how much harmony they had together. “That was when we sort of knew that we had this chemistry,” Chapman said. “Our ornamentation was in sync and we really enjoyed making music together.” Burkhalter invited Chapman to perform with him and Lee at a music festival this past March, it was there where they created the first-half of what they would play at the Westminster Choir College. “My first performance with them was at the ‘Grounds for Sculpture Early Music Festival’ in March and that’s a twenty to thirty-minute program and we used that for the first half of this program,” she said. “John is such an encyclopedia for this sort of repertoire, he just knew everything that he wanted to pull together to make this program at full-length.” Chapman, who grew up in Maine, has been singing since the time she could talk. Belonging to a Baptist church with her family, Chapman witnessed both of her parents as well as her grandmother sing in the church choir. Her mother sang to her every night before going to sleep and at age four, Chapman started to begin singing back to her mother. By the time she was six years old, Chapman had her own solo in the church choir.

Eventually joining a semi-professional choir that did a mixture of early music and new music, Chapman fell in love with early music. “That continued through college,” Chapman said. “I lived in New York for six years and did a lot of early music there. I moved out to Denver, Colorado, in 2007 and found there is a vibrant and growing scene of early music there.” After going to the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Maryland to get her master’s degree, Chapman made sure to take almost every course revolving around early music. “Every early music thing that I could fit into my schedule, I took,” she said. “I sing other things as well, but I really love being a specialist in early music.” Playing as a trio for the first time at Westminster Choir College, the ensemble made sure that their synchronization was like none other. Burkhalter felt that the community of Princeton is such great home for their ensemble, he would never fail to provide music for them. “I am happy to play music and promote early music activity,” Burkhalter said. “This is a fantastic community for this repertory and as long as I breathe, I am going to put air into my flutes and play music.”

PATRIOTS THEATER AT THE TRENTON WAR MEMORIAL

Pantalone promises his daughter’s hand to her true love, Silvio (Russell Sperberg). When Pantalone sees Beatrice disguised as her brother, he believes that it is really him and takes back his agreement to Silvio to honor his original promise to Federigo. Beatrice, who came to Venice for Pantalone’s fortune, was also following her true love, Florindo (Tug Rice), who killed her brother, Federigo, when he disagreed with their relationship. Under the guise of her brother, Beatrice travelled with his servant, Truffaldino (James Michael Reilly), who does not realize her true identity. Truffaldino, who feels mistreated by his master, patiently waits in the town square while Beatrice confronts Pantalone about the promised betrothal of his daughter, Clarice. While waiting outside for Beatrice, Truffaldino sees a struggling porter attempting to carry a luggage trunk. Offering his assistance in hopes of a reward, the trunk’s owner, who turns out to be Florindo, offers Truffaldino a job as his servant when he sees him accompanying no master. Truffaldino, seeing an opportunity to double his profits as well as his portions of food, eagerly accepts the position and the

title of the production is now relevant. Truffaldino has become the servant of two masters. Reilly stole the show with his performance as Truffaldino. Reilly offers humor, wit and spunk in his portrayal of the character and I was drawn in by his ability to connect with the audience. My favorite scene in which I believe Reilly truly showed his acting ability was the opening scene of Act II. Truffaldino is tasked with bringing food to both of his masters. Beatrice and Florindo, who both happen to be staying at the same inn, unbeknownst to each other, are in separate rooms and both require dinner. Truffaldino, who still has not eaten dinner himself, is starving, but must bring food to both of his masters. Going back and forth between both ends of the stage, Truffaldino scurries across the stage between the suspicions of the chef, Brighella (Connor Crew) and his two waiters and maid (Alexander Emond, Benjamin Lang & Abby Carroll). Reilly exhibits such a hilarious depiction of the character. He really brought life to the stage and gave the audience many laughs. Aside from the actors’ performances, director, Doug West, did an excellent job with the production. One of the best parts

of the show, is whenever a character is having a thought. The scene freezes, and they turn their head out to the audience and share their inner monologue. In fast-paced scenes, the actors would jump in and out of them and share their thoughts without missing a beat; the flow of the scene never stopping. Honorable Mentions: Tug Rice as Florindo was one of my favorite parts of the show. Rice’s portrayal of the smug but loving character really came across and made you believe the performance. His hair was also nice, too! Raphael Nash Thompson’s performance of Dottore Lombardi, Silvio’s father, was fun to watch! Though his time on stage was short, Thompson’s performance was very entertaining. From switching from English to Latin many times throughout the play to also providing humorous banter with Leibowitz’s Pantalone, Thompson really brought life to the stage every time he appeared.

‘The Servant of Two Masters,’ continues at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey’s Outdoor Stage on the campus of the College of St. Elizabeth in Morristown until Sunday, July 29. For more information and tickets, go to www. shakespearenj.org; 973408-5600.

Jul. 20th – Jul. 29th, 2018

IN THE ARTS by Kelly Giuliano Pets (and Their Humans) tapped into the individual’s psyche

ets - our faithful companions - serve as our attentive counterparts who listen to human conversation without interruption. Pets offer emotional support and contribute to a unique friendship dynamic separate from the reassurance that is offered from human relationships. The difference? Animals can not talk back. One of the contrasts among humans and animals is their inability to communicate and withhold a cohesive discussion. Because the the wiring of both the human brain and the animal brain is phenomenally divergent, in certain

aspects, animals and humans are not equipped to comprehend language as humans naturally can with one another, of course. But what would happen if our pets did begin striking up casual conversations with us, the humans? On July 14, the La Strada Ensemble Theatre showcased its production, “Pets (and Their Humans) at the Jersey Shore Performing Arts Center in Ocean Grove. An emotional comedy written by New Jersey playwright, Mike Sockol, featured a talented local cast who performed for an intimate audience. Pets (and Their Humans) fea-

tured Doug Bollinger, Neptune; Kyle Kimmel, Forked River; Mackenize Klein, Whiting; Payton Klein, Whiting; Izzy Mizell, Jackson; Alexandria Pascucci, East Hanover; Melissa Pascucci, East Hanover; and Rebecca Wycoff, Jackson. In a statement, Sockol said, “I’ve always been fascinated by the ‘human qualities’ within our pets. Their intelligence, their empathy, and their passion make me wonder how much they know and how much they are concealing from us.” The production followed the plot of a widowed man, Brad, who takes comfort in conversing with his fun-loving pet

dog, Titina, and his unusually inquisitive (keep this in mind) cat, Mac. The widowed protagonist routinely and openly speaks with his pets about his personal life. Although Brad is unphased by his unique ability to interact with animals, his new found love interest in the production, Stephanie, of whom he meets in a park, is entirely dumbfounded by what she insisted were glimpses of insanity on Brad’s part. Brad, whose wife was killed by a drunk driver, appears to have not fully recovered from her death. Although Brad has began a new relationship with Stephanie, he can’t help

but fall victim to subtle reminders that his wife - the love of his life - is dead. Brad’s children, Cassie and Barb, are visibly shaken by their mother’s absence, but try to allow Stephanie into their lives. Throughout the production, Brad and Cassie, who also has the ability to speak with her pets, seek guidance and advice from Titina and Mac. Skeptic Stephanie demands Brad prove his abilities to her, asking Brad to converse with her canine, Scout, of which he is successful. The production surrounds more of the straightforward aspects of love, loss and companionship prior to a concluding twist that pushes the theme of the play into another realm of thinking entirely. With little forewarning, toward the play’s conclusion, Titina and Mac admit to one another that they are actually reincarnated family members. Mac is Brad’s grandfather and Titina, of whom, is the dead mother. “The show is not about pets. It is about family,” Sockol said in an interview following the production. “We were trying to build a philosophical and theological aspect of pets as as a recycling device for human souls.” Although there were various subplots that intertwined with the moving parts in this production, Sockol said one of the fundamental proponents available for inspection was Brad’s notion of insanity, which proved to be un-

founded. “We wanted to get people to rethink the family structure,” Sockol said. The philosophical notions offered early on by the feline were questionable, who would often ponder existence. This was the red flag that indicated the animals could have been (and were) a shell containing something greater - a human soul. The pets in the production did not wear animal costumes, but rather, wore clothing and pranced around on four limbs. Humans strategically meowed or barked, and even began panting at the sight of a half-eaten sandwich. Sockol said, “I did not want to disguise the human qualities of pets” and said he wanted to refrain from a “Disney-like” character association of the animals. Transparency throughout the performance was a key component of memorability. Scene changes were apparent and the characters made use of the entire performance space, limiting their time on the stage itself. A number of high-intensity moments were incorporated throughout the production that correlated well with the themes of love, death, and family. Perhaps the most impactful was a scene between Brad, Stephanie and her dog, Scout. After Stephanie demanded Brad prove to her that he could understand animals, Brad had a

Consolidation debate has returned G reat news. It’s back. Like a zombie, the consolidation controversy has risen from its death declaration a few years ago in Princeton. Once again, consolidation is the source of energetic debate in my life. After Princeton Borough and Princeton Township voted to consolidate on Nov. 8, 2011, I experienced a manic-depressive moment. I was super-thrilled with the YES vote to consolidate and super-depressed over the fact that I was losing my closest companion – consolidation conversation.

For nearly four decades, consolidation provided me with intellectually stimulating, apolitical, and fairly civil (except for a few notable lapses) discussions every week, often every day during election season. Thanks to Chad Goerner, the last mayor of Princeton Township and the key mover and shaker in the movement to consolidate the towns, consolidation talk has returned. Debating consolidation as I sip my coffee in the coffee shops of Princeton has gotten my intellectual juices flowing again-the coffee also helps. And it was over a cup of

coffee that Chad and I discussed the op-ed he penned two weeks ago on July 8, 2018 in The Star-Ledger that was titled: “I was the last mayor of Princeton Township: Consolidation works and we need to stop being afraid of it (www. nj.com)”. Next week Chad will be filming a New Jersey issues cable television show (Jersey Matters) to debate the topic with another New Jersey consolidation and local and state government expert, Marc Pfeiffer. The show is being taped on Friday, July 20, for airing sometime over the weekend. All the shows are

posted on the Jersey Matters website: http://jerseymatters.com/. Chad, however, is unable to take full credit for the resurgence of the issue. The New Jersey Senate President, Steve Sweeney, unleashed the debate by releasing a report from his Economic and Fiscal Policy Working Group that spoke about the potential that consolidation offers to bring property taxes to more sustainable levels and curb tax rates. Then two prestigious Rutgers University/Bloustein School academics, Marc Pfeiffer, well known among Princetonians for his

and the lowest municipal tax growth rate post-consolidation than any neighboring municipality,” he said. “….The unfortunate result of the Pfeiffer/Caprio white paper was misguided headlines about consolidation at a time when New Jersey municipalities and school districts should be considering all options to garner efficiencies in service delivery and control costs….(The paper) broadly determined per capital town costs, (but) left the other side of the equation, service levels, largely unexplored….” said Chad. The consolidation debate first re-emerged in my life on June 23, the day after The Star-Ledger article questioning the value of consolidation. The location was the

last place I ever anticipated such a discussion – the memorial service reception honoring former Princeton Township Mayor James Floyd Sr., who died a month ago at the age of 96. With the live jazz music of internationally renowned trombonist, Wycliffe Gordon in the background, I reminisced with other longtime Princetonians about the incredible legacy of Jim Floyd, who was the first black man elected to political office in Princeton Township and a passionate community leader in the area of social justice, affordable housing, diversity, neighborhood and historic preservation, education – and consolidation. “Jim was a visionary in a lot of areas – including the value of consolidation of the borough and the township,” Chad said.

“I am really happy that he lived long enough to witness the successful consolidation of the two communities to which he was so deeply committed.” Another Jim aficionado – also named Jim, retired land use attorney Jim Britt - asked me when the town was going to name something after Jim Floyd to celebrate not only what he did but also inspire others to do the same. Jim Britt suggested renaming the Community Park School the James Floyd Sr. Elementary School. Thinking more broadly as a way to touch all the students in the district, I suggest Jim Floyd’s name be attached to the high school, where I first heard the incredible music of Wycliffe Gordon, who performed at the high school thanks to Wycliffe’s good friend – James Floyd, Sr.

disturbing conversation with Scout. Scout revealed to Brad that Stephanie abuses her, while an unconsolable Stephanie admits her faults. Sockol said the goal was to “tap into the emotions” of those who were in attendance. “I get particularly perverse pleasure when people cry,” Sockol said. “The audience is a critical component of the entire piece.” The goal for Pets (and Their Humans) is to redefine the family dynamic, Sockol said, and explore the endless potential of an animal’s mind he said poses human qualities. Sockol compared the ability to speak with animals to children who have imaginary friends. He said he wanted to explore the same component of playfulness in his script.

Postpartum Depression Common, Treatable

abies are considered bundles of joy. Why then do so many new mothers experience feelings of sadness and anxiety after giving birth? The answer is complicated, but one thing is clear – it is not because of something a mother does or does not do. What is also clear is that these feelings are common. In fact, an estimated 1 in 9 women experience symptoms of postpartum depression, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Help, however, is available. Most new moms experience mild feelings of unhappiness, worry and fatigue in the days after giving birth. These feelings, commonly referred to as the Baby Blues, tend to resolve on their own within a week or two. Postpartum depression, on the other hand, is characterized by extreme feelings of sadness and anxiety that interfere with a woman’s ability to take care of herself or her family. Unlike the Baby Blues, symptoms of postpartum depression typically do not resolve on their own and require treatment. Symptoms can occur up to one year after having a baby, but most often start within one to three weeks after childbirth and may include feeling sad, hopeless, empty or overwhelmed; crying more often than usual for no apparent reason; inability to sleep; loss of interest in activities; appetite changes;

withdrawing and isolating behavior; trouble finding emotional attachment; and low libido. When a mother’s ability to function is so impaired that she cannot care for herself or her baby or she cannot be the mother she wants to be, it is time to seek help. It is important to note that postpartum depression is different from postpartum psychosis, which is rare, occurring in 1 to 2 of every 1,000 childbirths. Symptoms of postpartum psychosis typically occur suddenly and include hallucinations, delusions and disorganized thoughts. Postpartum psychosis is a medical emergency, requiring immediate treatment. There is no single cause of postpartum depression, though it is likely triggered by a combination of factors including sleep deprivation, physical discomfort and hormones. In the hours after childbirth, estrogen and progesterone levels drop rapidly. This sudden decrease in hormones leads to chemical changes in the brain that can cause depression. Risk factors include symptoms of depression during or after a previous pregnancy; personal or family history of depression or other mental illness; giving birth at younger than 25 years; stressful life events during or after pregnancy; lack of a strong emotional support system; intimate partner violence or sexual abuse; and unwanted pregnancy. The first line of treat-

ment is to discuss symptoms with your OB/GYN. Sometimes medication alone is enough to stabilize your mood and relieve symptoms. In many cases, mental health counseling and talk therapy are also used in combination with medication to treat postpartum depression. Though postpartum depression can’t be prevented, women can eat a healthy diet; exercise regularly as your body allows; try to sleep when the baby is sleeping; take 10 minutes each day for yourself; see your doctor as scheduled and be honest about the feelings you are experiencing; and ask for help. The Women’s Program at Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health offers specialized treatment to help women overcome postpartum depression and build skills to process emotions, thoughts and behaviors. The program teaches skills for mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation. Treatment is available at Princeton House’s outpatient centers in Princeton, Hamilton, North Brunswick, Moorestown and Eatontown. For more information, visit www.princetonhouse. orgor call 888-437-1610. Michelle Kerekes, L.P.C., L.C.A.D.C., is a licensed professional counselor and a licensed clinical alcohol and drug counselor. She is a senior primary therapist with Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health.

Hopewell Resident’s Concussion Reveals a Tumor That Leads to Awake Brain Surgery at Capital Health One morning in November 2017, Kate Watson was straightening up her house in nearby Hopewell Township, NJ. By late afternoon, she was considering awake brain surgery to remove a large tumor compressing critical brain areas. If you were to draw a picture of what an MRI revealed inside 61-year-old Kate Watson’s brain back in November 2017, you would make a chubby, peanut-shaped object, about the size of a lemon, a little to the left of the center of her head. Kate’s tumor was large, and it resided in the left frontal temporal area of the brain known as Broca’s, which is responsible for speech production, and Wernicke’s area, which controls comprehension. She was already showing signs of its impact when she came into the hospital for a concussion. She was confusing her words. “I had hit my head, and I told my friend that I didn’t feel a dent, but I was seeing straws instead of stars” Kate says. Dr. Navid Redjal, director of Neurosurgical Oncology at the Capital Health Center for Neuro-Oncology, part of its Capital Institute for Neurosciences, explained that the tumor appeared to originate in the covering of the brain known as the dura. The tumor had compressed, and possibly infiltrated, critical speech areas of the brain. Although the tumor did not appear to originate from the center of the brain, it didn’t mean it wasn’t dangerous or even potentially deadly. “In the brain, the tolerances are small, the space is small, and anything that gets bigger can cause significant difficulties,” he says. “What matters is how the tumor is behaving.” While the idea of an awake surgery can be unnerving to some people, Kate didn’t hesitate to choose it when the doctors presented her with options. “They said, ‘We can do traditional surgery, or we can do an awake craniotomy.’ I said, ‘Awake surgery. That’s what we’re doing,’ It was my immediate response. I knew I wanted to be awake and to give feedback during the surgery. I also had total faith in my team of doctors because I had seen their work before when a family friend needed surgery. Dr. Redjal and his team are so human. You can feel the compassion,” she says. “They had already gone way beyond the call. They were advocating for me well beyond the operating room.” Dr. Redjal underscores his belief that the procedure was the best way to tackle the tumor without impacting brain function, specifically Kate’s speech. “With the awake craniotomy, we are able to constantly monitor her speech while at the same time removing as much of the tumor as possible,” he explains. While there are some aspects of the surgery Kate doesn’t remember, she recalls each medical person in the operating room introducing themselves to her by name, explaining the role they would play during the surgery and how they would interact with each other. In the case of an awake craniotomy, the team includes the neurosurgeon, the neuro monitoring team, the neuro-anesthesiologist, the surgical physician assistant, and the OR nurse, all of whom play crucial roles during the surgery while they work to ensure that the patient’s brain function remains intact throughout. Neurosurgeons at Capital Health have tools, such as advanced brain mapping and intra-operative neuro-navigation, that allow them to stimulate areas of the brain while the patient is awake and create a map of areas that should be avoided during surgical resection. After they properly numbed the area they would be operating on and provided the necessary level of anesthesia to keep her sedated but not unconscious, doctors put Kate under a tent with a nurse who would speak to her throughout the surgery and ask her questions when feedback was necessary to guide the surgeon. “She asked me things, like ‘What can you do with a shirt?’ Apparently, I gave a whole paragraph on dry cleaning and properly hanging up clothes,” says Kate. From a medical standpoint, the purpose of keeping Kate awake and asking her questions that required that kind of response was to monitor her brain as they operated. “We can monitor cranial nerves, for example, when the patient is asleep, but speech is a very complex function that requires multiple different systems, and to really assess it, the patient has to be awake,” Dr. Redjal explains. “It provides us with real-time feedback and helps us gauge how aggressive we’re going to be in terms of resection. It helps us avoid permanently damaging the brain while we’re trying to cut away the tumor.” Kate went home with her sister about 36 hours after her awake craniotomy. While she struggled for the first five months to follow some of the instructions to help her brain heal—avoiding reading for long stretches of time or really exercising the brain too rigorously—her overall prognosis is good. Less than six months from surgery, Kate is back to work and is avidly writing and reading again, building a nonprofit to assist US Servicewomen in their transition from the military to civilian life. She feels grateful for the concussion that initially brought her into Capital Health in November and resulted in life-altering surgery. Kate says, “It’s not enough to simply put ice on that concussion! I’m so grateful that a bump on the head led me to my Capital Health neuro-family. I can’t say enough for this wonderful community hospital; care, compassion and advocacy extraordinaire!” To learn more about Capital Health’s Center for Neuro-Oncology, visit capitalneuro.org.
