Decision to place referendum on ballot could come Sept. 4 By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

The Princeton Public Schools Board of Education is on track to vote in early September to put a $129.6 million facilities referendum on the ballot this fall. The board meeting scheduled for Aug. 28 has been rescheduled for Sept. 4, when the vote to place the referendum on the ballot is expected to take place. District administrators need to meet election-related deadlines to have a referendum in November.

Board President Patrick Sullivan said on Aug. 20 he expects the board vote to be a formality. District officials plan to split the referendum into two questions. The first question would call for $82.5 million in projects, including constructing a new school for fifth- and sixth-graders at the site of the Valley Road School. The second question would call for $47 million worth of projects at Princeton High School. “I do believe it’s a good, well thought out plan,” Sullivan said.

As a school district, Princeton finds itself in the midst of a growth spurt. District administrators have talked about enrollment topping more than 4,500 students by 2027. “I think everyone recognizes there’s a need here, that the enrollment is going up,” Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane said on Aug. 20. “We have more kids who are coming to us. We have to find space for them.” When they head to the polls on Nov. 6. voters could approve

both questions, and thus pass the entire package, or they can opt to approve only question one. District administrators have said question one has to pass to give question two a chance of passing. If the entire package is approved, school taxes would increase by $289 starting in 2020, on the average home assessment of $837,074, officials have shown. Asked if officials intend to mount a public relations campaign to urge voters to support the referendum, Sullivan said he

did not think the district “has any plans to encourage people to vote

a certain way.” He said administrators would work on communications plans “that lay out the facts.”

“I think the facts need to be disseminated clearly so people understand what they’re voting on,” he said. “There’s still a lot of misinformation out there about the merits and the actual details of this referendum.”

IT employee resigns as investigation continues By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

A municipal employee in Princeton’s information technology (IT) department, who was placed on paid administrative leave in July, has quit his job as Princeton police investigate the alleged improper disposal of government computers. Anthony Guevarez voluntarily resigned, effective Aug. 13, municipal administrator Marc D. Dashield said on Aug. 20. Dashield declined to say if Guevarez is cooperating with law enforcement in the investigation and he was not immediately able to say what reason Guevarez gave for leaving his position. Guevarez, who was hired in 2015, was put on paid administrative leave from his $41,000 per year job as an IT tech on July 18. On July 19, Robert McQueen, the chief information officer for the municipality, was also placed on paid leave, municipal officials have said. At issue is the possible selling of town-owned computers. Municipal officials initially handled the matter administratively, but earlier this month they asked police to get involved. “What’s being alleged is that (the computers) were improperly disposed of,” Dashield said of the equipment. “There are potential

allegations they may have been … sold, but again, the investigation will let me know the details of that.” “We want to get to the bottom of things,” Acting Mayor Lance Liverman said on Aug. 20. “We don’t know how long things were going on, what’s been going on.” Without elaborating on the source of his information, Liverman said reports he had received tell him the town is “moving swiftly.” “We really don’t know to what extent or where we are with this,” Liverman said. “We just have a basic idea and we see some things that may have occurred, but we need to see the big, big picture, because you never know.” A police spokesman said on Aug. 21 there are “no developments” in the case. So far, municipal officials have not released the number of computers that may have been involved or their value. Dashield said officials have “no reason” to think sensitive government information might have been compromised. “But again, the investigation is continuing,” he said. McQueen remains on paid leave from his $112,000 per year job, Dashield said. McQueen has worked for Princeton since 1998.

Princeton parking debit cards coming to an end By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Princeton will phase out a type of debit card that is used to pay for parking at meters and in a municipal garage, so card holders have to use or lose their unspent balance. In mid-October, municipal of-

ficials intend to install about 900 to 1,000 new parking meters that will not accept the “smart cards.” The new equipment, which will cost the municipality $973,167, will have three payment options: coin, credit card or mobile app. The cards could still be used at the municipal garage on Spring Street until the end of the year, officials said. Once the card is phased out entirely, the garage will accept payment through coin, cash or credit card, as it does today. In the meantime, officials have announced that refills of the card are capped at $20, that they plan to stop selling the cards in a few weeks and that in early October, card refills will not be permitted. Cards will no longer be sold starting Sept. 4 and as of Oct. 1, cardholders will not be able to refill them. See PARKING, Page 3A

Two more Democrats announce candidacy for county freeholder By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

The race for a vacant seat on the Mercer County Board of Freeholders has grown to a field of nine Democrats who will try to persuade party officials next month that they should be selected. Nina Melker and Joseph Zalescik, both of Hamilton Township, have joined the contest to replace Anthony S. Verrelli, who resigned recently to become a state Assemblyman representing the 15th Legislative District. The other candidates seek-

ing the one-year appointment are Lawrence Township Councilman Michael Powers, former West Windsor Councilman Kamal Khanna, Ewing Councilwoman Jennifer Keyes-Maloney, Roberto Hernandez, president of the Mercer County Latino Democratic Caucus, Sasa Olessi Montano, chief executive officer of Meals on Wheels of Mercer County, Lance Lopez Sr. and Tennille McCoy. A race that many Democrats expected to draw a crowd has done so. “Every time I talk to someone, I keep finding out more people,”

Melker said on Aug. 20. “This race definitely has a lot of names in there, that’s very true.” In making the case for why Democrats should chose her next month, Melker, a private banker, pointed to her financial expertise and her participation in the nonprofit world. Among other things, she is the chairwoman of the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton Foundation board. “I thought it was a good time for me to come out and take that into the public service side and go

State officials remember late senator Parking By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Former state Sen. William E. Schluter, 90, a Republican lawmaker for parts of five decades, died on Aug. 6. Schluter, who lived in Pennington, served in the state Assembly beginning in the late 1960s and then laterin the state Senate, until 2002, representing Mercer, Hunterdon and Warren counties. During his time in office, he sought to clean up government in the state. Among his legislative accomplishments was sponsoring a bill in the 1970s to create the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission (ELEC). Speaking in 2013 at the 40th anniversary of the commission, Schluter recalled the “tortuous path” the bill took to become law. He said he did not think he could get the measure passed nowadays “because, today, legislative leadership is so powerful that they have the veto power … of any legislation.” He shared how back in

the early 1970s, lawmakers could form “alliances” with their colleagues “and try and get something through in a traditional way.” Schluter was an independent candidate for governor in 2001, running against his party’s nominee, Bret Schundler, but he received minimal support in the general election. More recently, he wrote a book, “Soft Corruption: How Unethical Conduct Undermines Good Government and What to Do About It,” published last year. In a talk on March 7, 2017 at Rutgers University’s Eagleton Institute of Politics, he defined soft corruption as “unethical conduct of lawmakers and political leaders, which, while not illegal and not violating any laws, is harmful and undermines the delivery of good government to the people.” Schluter’s death prompted tributes across the political aisle from those recalling him as a fighter who could work with Democrats. “A tireless advocate

take of getting the legislation passed, a bill that went through 12 versions. Compromise, he said, “is a twoedged sword.” “You compromise on small things that don’t really matter as far as principle is concerned,” he said. “But you don’t compromise on principle.” Schluter was defeated in his re-election bid for the state Senate in 1973 by Anne Martindell, amid a voter backlash against Watergate. “Bill was a gentleman and I think they probably got a long personally fairly well,” said Martindell’s son, Roger. “But they were just coming from two different places and at that particular time, he happened to be in the wrong party.” Schluter got back into state politics in the 1980s, first in the Assembly and then again in the Senate. The current leader of the Senate recalled Schluter’s ability to cross the aisle to get things done for New Jersey.

in the 1980s, said he had made up his mind to run for freeholder about two weeks ago. He works for Capital Health as manager of media resources and is an elected fire commissioner in Hamilton. “I have the background of doing budgets, negotiating union contracts, doing everything a councilperson would do, just on the fire side,” said Zalescik, 57. Members of the Mercer County Democratic Com-

mittee are scheduled to meet at the Stone Terrace, a banquet hall in Hamilton, on Sept. 5 to decide who will serve the remainder of Verrelli’s unexpired three-year term.

Democrats Continued from Page 1A into the political arena again,” said Melker, 57, who lost a previous race for the Hamilton Township Council. The vacancy on the board of freeholders comes with some of the candidates saying a female minority should get the nod. At present, the board is made up of four men and two women, with one black member, Samuel Frisby Sr.

Zalescik said on Aug. 20 that the vacant seat “belongs to the people of Mercer County.” “It doesn’t belong to any particular ethnic group or somebody with any particular background,” he said. “This opportunity doesn’t come along that often, where you have an appointment for a year and then you run a year later.” Zalescik, who ran for a seat on the Hamilton Township Council three times

for ethics and good governance, and for campaign finance laws that protect the integrity of our elections, he was never afraid to take on the politically tough fights,” said Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, in a statement. “The greatest tribute those of us in public office can pay is to seek to live up to his example.” U.S. Rep. Leonard Lance (R-Hunterdon, Essex, Morris, Somerset, Union and Warren) represented the same legislative district as Schluter when the two men were state lawmakers. He said he had “lost a close friend and political mentor.” “Bill Schluter epitomized public service in New Jersey,” Lance said. “A person of impeccable integrity, he significantly raised the ethical standards of our state Legislature. A fine hockey player in his youth at Exeter and Princeton, he was the consummate gentlemen on the playing field of life.” In his remarks at the ELEC anniversary, Schluter recalled the give and

“The whole idea is that you use your card up,” Municipal Engineer Deana Stockton said on Aug. 20. “You can still use your card to pay for your parking. You just can’t add money to it.” She said the card is now “obsolete in the parking industry.” “Unfortunately, it’s very difficult to find vendors that make the equipment needed to use the cards,” Stockton said. “We’ve had quite a few problems with our machines that distribute

and fill the cards.” As Princeton introduces new equipment, parking rules also are changing. Officials agreed to adjust parking meter hours of operation, now 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, to 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday. Saturday hours are changed, too, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. to 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The rules are due to go into effect later this year. For more information, visit the municipal website, www.princetonnj.gov

GOING HOLLYWOOD!

If you’ve ever wondered why so many actors, models, celebs, and media personalities all seem to have such perfect teeth, you should familiarize yourself with “dental veneers.” Also referred to as “Hollywood teeth,” dental veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of toothcolored materials (porcelain or resin) that are designed to cover the front surface of teeth. After removing about a halfmillimeter of enamel from the tooth surface, the dentist bonds these thin shells to the front of the teeth, effectively changing their color, shape, size, and/ or length. Dental veneers are available to anyone looking to improve the aesthetics of his or her smile. They are also routinely used to fix chipped, broken, worn, irregularly shaped, misaligned, and uneven teeth. It’s simple, really. When you look good, you feel good. If your

smile is not becoming to you, you should be coming to us for dentistry tailored specifically to your needs. Aren’t you curious how today’s cosmetic dentistry procedures can virtually change your life? We’d be glad to tell you about the many ways we can help make your smile a dazzling one. Just call us at 609-924-8300, Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman. “Our commitment is to relationships of partnership, respect, and appreciation.” “We offer cosmetic and family dentistry as well as Zoom!® and Invisalign®.”

THE STATE WE’RE IN By Michele S. Byers

All aboard these floating, high tech science classrooms

One of the state’s newest science classrooms is uniquely suited for water testing and studying plankton under a microscope. But you’ll need a life vest! This spring, the “Study Hull,” a 40foot pontoon boat outfitted with a laboratory, was launched by the nonprofit Lake Hopatcong Foundation after years of planning. The custom-made floating classroom cruises up and down Lake Hopatcong, providing field trips for schoolchildren and summer ecological cruises for all ages. “The response from the public has been great,” said Donna McCalle-Holly, grants and program coordinator for the Lake Hopatcong Foundation. “We’re really pleased with how things have gone during our first season, and interest is already picking up for next year.” The Foundation has been working for years to protect the lake’s environment. “But the best thing we can do for the future of Lake Hopatcong is educate the next generation and the public about how to take care of it,” noted Foundation president Jessica K. Murphy. “And what better way to conduct those lessons than on the lake itself?” So far, the Study Hull has hosted field trips for about 700 students and ecology cruises for another 200 people. It’s staffed largely by volunteers, mostly retired

SOLUTIONS

teachers and high school students from Morris County’s Academy for Environmental Science. The Study Hull isn’t the only floating classroom in New Jersey. In a state bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, Hudson River, Delaware River and Delaware Bay, there’s a long history of encouraging an interest in ecology and protecting the environment by getting people on the water. Here are some of New Jersey’s other floating classrooms: • The Delaware River Steamboat floating classroom operates from a dock in Lambertville, Hunterdon County. It’s called “SPLASH,” which stands for Student Participation in Learning Aquatic Science & History. Students aboard SPLASH learn about the Delaware watershed and ways to protect it, the importance of “river critters” (macroinvertebrates), the chemistry of the river and the balance needed to sustain life, and the environmental history of the Delaware River. • A longtime favorite in northern New Jersey are the pontoon boat tours offered by the Hackensack Riverkeeper. Captain Bill Sheehan started Eco-Cruises in 1994 to increase public awareness of the lower Hackensack River as a vital natural resource. Since then, more than 50,000 people have cruised through the Mead-

owlands - places most often viewed from cars on the New Jersey Turnpike. The amazing variety of wildlife is best seen from the water. • The restored oyster schooner A.J. Meerwald – the state’s official tall ship – is docked mainly at the Bayshore Center at Bivalve on the Delaware Bay in Cumberland County. The Center’s mission is to inspire people to take care of the history, the culture and the environment of the Bayshore region. The A.J. Meerwald offers special summer camps and cruises aimed at connecting children with the environment. • On the Hudson River, the famous sloop Clearwater’s environmental mission provides educational sails for kids and adults. Folk singer and activist Pete Seeger launched the Clearwater in 1969 to clean up the Hudson River, and it has become a flagship for environmental education. The Clearwater sails from several Hudson River ports, including Alpine in Bergen County. • In the Great Egg Harbor in Atlantic County, a fishing boat called the Duke O Fluke offers weekly eco-tours with a naturalist from the Wetlands Institute. In the fall, the Duke O Fluke has special raptor cruises on the Great Egg Harbor River in search of resident bald eagles, hawks, ospreys and falcons.

Lifelong passions and the New Jersey Pinelands While people pretty much around the world are getting a taste of what global warming actually feels like this summer, there are a number of private New Jersey citizens and groups that are taking steps to preserve local environments and counter the fossil-fuel-created warming that is threatening so much. For anyone who read John McPhee’s 1968 book The Pine Barrens, which focuses on the titular area’s complex history, geography, environment and culture will not be a surprise. Ten years after its publishing, the U.S. Congress established the Pinelands National Reserve, which was the nation’s first national reserve. It has since been designated a United Nations Biosphere Reserve. This reserve is not a modest, local park, but is the largest surviving wilderness along the Eastern Seaboard, from Maine to Florida. Its 1.16 million acres comprise 22 percent of New Jersey; it is larger than Yosemite National Park and approximately the size of Grand Canyon National Park. Its Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer stores enough fresh water to cover New Jersey 10 feet deep. The Pinelands is 35 percent

wetlands, and two of its river systems have been included in the National Wild and Scenic River Systems. Its preserved acres are home to rare, endangered species, in some cases found nowhere else. Approximately 22 million people live within 60 miles of the reserve. Overseeing all of this is New Jersey’s Pinelands Commission which has established rules for land-use, development, and natural resource protection. With the commission’s oversight, it would seem that the Pinelands are well protected. It is, after all, the daily source of drinking for millions, as well as for their economic well-being and quality of life. And yet, despite this, it is threatened by overuse through development, inappropriate use, pollution and now climate change and sea level rise. Fortunately, individuals and groups have chosen to devote much time and effort into publicizing and preserving this treasure. Central to this effort is the Pinelands Preservation Alliance (PPA,) the only private, non-profit organization dedicated to preserving New Jersey’s Pineland and its resources.

Created by the coming together of a number of national and regional environmental organizations, its purpose is to promote public awareness of the Pinelands’ value, and to acquire land and development rights for or by public conservation agencies. The PPA understands also that it must mobilize individuals and strong alliances for preservation - potentially the strongest emanating from our new, moreaware governor and his appointees. The PPA also sees that support needs to come from enhanced public understanding of the issues and solutions. A professional staff and scientific advisers continue to work for preservation, frequently by fending off the wide range of threats, and where necessary, using litigation. Among allied organizations is the Princeton Photography Club, which has proved itself to be invaluable in documenting environments for the PPA, the D&R Greenway Land Trust and many others. The Photography Club’s photos can both inform and inspire the public to become involved through its documenting the beauty of the land and waterscapes and the challenges facing them. In addition, the PPC’s photos

publicize local events, and are the subjects of its own and other’s gallery shows. How did some of the members discover interests in photography and the Pinelands? Sheila and Carl Geisler retired from their careers, moved to New Jersey, and began to explore photography. The D&R reached out to them offering exhibition space, and by chance the couple took a D&R sponsored trip through the Pinelands. That this huge reserved existed in New Jersey, the most densely populated state, stunned them and motivated them to become involved. Not long after joining, Carl was offered, and accepted, the presidency, and both have been important since, not only to the PPC but to the PPA. A friend and colleague, Laura Hawkins joined both groups when she found she was environmentally driven. Expanding upon the efforts of these three friends and colleagues, it is to be hoped that many others will join in, motivated by a passion to both save and photograph the rich, irreplaceable bounty that is the Pinelands.

High schoolers get hands-on with artificial intelligence By Samantha Brandbergh Correspondent

Over the course of human history, certain technologies have changed the way we live our lives: movable type led to widespread literacy; the steam engine spurred an industrial revolution; the internet allows for instantaneous communication across the globe. After three weeks in Princeton this summer, a group of students spent time working with an emergent and slowly ubiquitous technology that Tess Posner, CEO of the nonprofit AI4ALL, compares to electricity - artificial intelligence (AI). “It’s everywhere, but you don’t notice it,” she said before the closing banquet for AI4ALL’s first summer program at Princeton University on August 11.

The program is offered to high school students who are members of underrepresented demographics in tech, such as women, people of color and those from low income communities, and allows them to develop and work on their own projects involving AI. “Diversity in AI is so critical because it’s one of those important technologies of our time that’s shaping the fourth Industrial Revolution; it’s becoming ubiquitous in terms of our everyday lives,” Posner said. “When we leave out minorities, women, people of color, low income people, we’re missing out on their contributions and their talent.” For the first program at Princeton University, the projects were divided into groups: Self-Driving Cars, Natural Language Processing, Internet of Things and Fragile Families. Michaela Guo, an incoming 11th grader at Princeton High School, participated in the program in the Internet of Things group, which took a closer look at how smart devices like the Amazon Echo, Google Home and other home appliances that connect to Wifi operate. The group looked at “packets” of information that the devices send back and forth through IP addresses. If someone were to look at these IP addresses, Guo said, they could determine what websites the device

(609) 924-3244

visits to retrieve the desired information. From there, in Guo’s group used a packet analyzer called WireShark, which allowed them to sift through the information they gathered from the devices. The students also used various algorithms to sort the data in the packets. “We get to see the inner workings of the device, so we can better understand how it works and how these smart devices communicate with each other,” Guo said. Through the project, the team also found there were security risks with the rise of smart devices that use AI to connect to the internet. “We think we learned that it’s better to be cautious because we understand the risks we put ourselves in when we use this technology rather than be worried because we have misconceptions about what the technology we have can and can’t do,” Guo said. Edward Felten, co-director of AI4ALL’s Princeton program and professor of computer science at Princeton University, said the program is important for the future of the technology field. “There’s a sense that AI is going to be transformative, just like the internet was, and understanding what AI is and where it’s likely to go is important for the students and it’s an important thing for future leaders to know,” he said. Felten also led a trip for the students to Washington D.C. earlier this month, where they met with industry professionals and organizations working on AI policy, including the the Federal Trade Commission, the General Services Administration and

the National League of Cities. To help advance and expand the national programs, Google.org announced a $1 million grant to AI4ALL, which will be used toward a new Open Online Learning Platform, Posner said. “That’s basically to take the curriculum from the camps and make that more widely accessible and available for free,” she said. “We’re very excited about that because the camps are this amazing, impactful experience, but they don’t reach places around the world, and this allows us to spread that knowledge widely in addition to expanding the camp model that works really well.” After the three-week camp is completed, AI4ALL offers an alumni program that enforces a community element, mentorship and internship and job opportunities. Guo said, “I think we’re all really excited about the alumni program, there are so many resources it has to offer, and of course we all want to stay connected to each other.” Now that the program is completed, Guo is thankful she had the opportunity to “communicate freely” about AI technology and ethics, and to meet people her age also interested in AI. “I think, more than anything, [AI4ALL] makes me want to empower other people as well and help other people feel the same way as I now do,” she said.

MERCER COUNTY NOTES Spotted Lanternfly sighting confirmed in Mercer Co.

New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture Douglas H. Fisher announced the New Jersey Department of Agriculture and United States Department of Agriculture personnel confirmed the sighting of the Spotted Lanternfly in northern Mercer County. There were two confirmed sightings in southern Warren County earlier this summer. The specific areas where the Spotted Lanternfly has been identified have been treated. The sightings have led the State Department of Agriculture to quarantine the two affected counties, as well as Hunterdon County, which is between Warren and Mercer counties, to prevent the spread of the Spotted Lanternfly. Businesses and the general public in the quarantine area are required to obtain and fill out a New Jersey residence checklist before moving any of the articles listed here. The checklist also serves to inform the public about the Spotted Lanternfly including how to identify all life stages of the insect and minimize or eliminate its movement. The Spotted Lanternfly prefers Tree of Heaven as its host, but can feed on 70 other different plant species, including fruit trees, ornamental trees, woody trees, vegetables, and herbs and vines, including agricultural crops like grapes. The Lanternfly in its current stage is about a half-inch to three-quarter of an inch long. The Department is asking for everyone’s help in identifying areas where low numbers of this insect may be. Residents can email pictures of suspect insects to SLF-plantindustry@ag.nj.gov or call the New Jersey Spotted Lanternfly Hotline at 1-833-223-2840 (BAD-BUG-0) and leave a message detailing your sighting and contact information.

Charles R. Henry Charles R. Henry, a long-time resident of Cranbury, has died. He was born in 1925 in Brooklyn, New York. During the depression era, he described coal being delivered by horse-drawn wagon and that his boyhood duties included shoveling coal for heat, bathing, and cooking. He was in boy scouting many years, and graduated from Bushwick High School in Brooklyn in June 1942. As soon as he was old enough, he joined the Army Air Corps and trained as an aviation cadet, and proudly considered himself to be part of the Army family. As a cadet, he recalled standing at attention in the hot Alabama summer sun at Maxwell Field, where some cadets passed out. He was pleased when he was selected to be a pilot. As training progressed in Idaho, he nearly lost his life when a brand new B-24 he was piloting inexplicably lost power on both starboard engines, with one catching fire. He and his co-pilot successfully crash landed in a nearby prairie with no injuries to anyone on the 10-man crew. He went on to lead this same crew in 26 missions over Germany and Nazi-held territory, flying from a makeshift base near Bari, Italy in 1944 and 1945. On one of those 26 missions, a piece of flak from an anti-aircraft shell burst through the windshield, nearly hitting him. He saved that as a memento after later recovering it. On another flight, he was almost forced to ditch the aircraft in the Adriatic Sea at night, but was able to find a way back thanks to spotting flares at a sister airfield. After the war, he went to Fort Monmouth, New Jersey where he met and later married Lt. Gladys McGill of Cranbury, who served as an Army personnel officer during the war. He was then assigned to the Philippines, where he again narrowly escaped death. He was a co-pilot in a B-17 when a rubber life raft spontaneously deployed immediately after takeoff, wrapping itself around the control surfaces at the tail section. After returning to Fort Monmouth, he separated from active duty in 1947 in the rank of First Lieutenant, but remained in the reserves for five years. During this time, he worked for a propeller company while completing a bachelor’s degree in aeronautical engineering from New York University. In 1964, he was granted a license as a professional engineer from the state of New Jersey. He also earned a MS in Management Science from Fairleigh Dickinson University. He returned to government service as a civilian employee at Lakehurst Naval Station and then at Fort Monmouth, where he was instrumental in many engineering projects. A highlight of his career was designing and building a prototype communications pallet for the Blackhawk helicopter, tested to withstand a certain number of G-forces in a hard landing. He relished working with soldiers on projects such as this, and had great respect for them. He volunteered as Assistant Scoutmaster for Boy Scout Troop 52 in Cranbury for nearly 3 years in the 1960s and as Scoutmaster for one year. Thereafter, he pursued some hobbies, including renewing his pilot’s license and flying small aircraft, as well as obtaining a black belt in Ju-Jitsu. There were many reunions of his old bomber crew which he attended, beginning in 1962 in Minneapolis, with the last formal one being in 1999 in Colorado Springs. He retired with 43 years faithful Federal Service, but lost his wife only 3 years later. After her death in 1996, he lived alone but made several trips to visit with his children and their families, sometimes taking Amtrak rail across the country. He and his sons went to Italy in 2010, where he visited the site of the airfield at which he had served. He found that the farmhouse which had been used as the group headquarters was still standing. He is survived by his sons, Andrew and Christopher; four grandchildren; and three great- grandchildren. Interment and Memorial Services will be held on Friday, October 5, 2018, at 11:30 a.m. at the Westminster Cemetery in Cranbury, NJ. Donations to his memory can be made to Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge #68, 1 Logan Drive, Cranbury, NJ 08512.

PHS football look to turn page Hennessey: Team ‘just trying to have a positive mindset’ By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

Like the rest of his Princeton High School football teammates, Steve Hennessey has put the 2017 season behind him. “Coming off a season like last year, we really are just trying to have a positive mindset,” said Hennessey, who was part of a Princeton team that finished 0-10 last year. “We have wiped that away and are ready to go with a clean slate. We’re doing things in new ways that are affective. So our expectations are high and we’re looking to win games this year.” Hennessey, a senior, put together a strong season last year as a two-way player for the Little

Tigers. He emerged as one of the team’s top receivers, while also playing defensive back. “It feels good coming into this year with a full varsity season under my belt,” Hennessey said. “It’s good to be able to step up and be a leader. Our senior class is not that big, but we have a lot of guys that have been playing football for a while. A lot of guys had to step up last year when we had guys who were injured. I feel like they are extra prepared for this year because of last year. So that is good to see that those guys have experience.” Princeton participated in its first scrimmage on Monday and will have two more before opening the season on Sept. 8 at home against Hightstown.

Soccer

Lacrosse

The Princeton University men’s lacrosse team will be the host to the University of Denver on Tuesday, March 26, as former Tiger head coach Bill Tierney makes a return to the school where he guided the Tigers to six national championships. Tierney, who has led Denver to one NCAA title, has been the Pioneers’ head coach since 2010. Tierney coached Princeton for 22 seasons, going 238-86, with eight NCAA finals, 10 NCAA Final Fours and 14 Ivy League championships in addition to the six NCAA titles.

Basketball

The Princeton University men’s basketball schedule will include 12 home games, a trip to Duke, a visit to Madison Square Garden, the program’s first game at Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall, and a Arizona State. Princeton returns two 2018 All-Ivy League honorees in secondteam rising seniors Devin Cannady and Myles Stephens. Princeton will face St. John’s at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 9, face Iona in Atlantic City on Dec. 15, and play at Duke on Dec. 18. The Tigers are at Arizona State on Dec. 29.

After suffering through a winless season last year, Princeton will come into this season with an 18-game losing streak. But this year’s group isn’t focused on the past. This group is ready to turn the page and let the younger players see the program can be successful. “We had a lot of guys come out this year,” said Hennessey, who also plays lacrosse at PHS. “We have a good freshmen class. The older guys we have do a lot of stuff during drills to help the younger guys. When we break off, often there will only be one coach. So a lot of the seniors and juniors step up and help out where we can. “I think this can be a good season for us. We’re excited.”

Princeton Safe Streets Program presents honors

COLLEGE The Princeton University fall athletic season will get underway today when the women’s soccer team plays at New Hampshire in a 7 p.m. start. The Tigers will also play at Boston University on Sunday before playing as the host to St. Joseph’s on Aug. 31 in their home opener. Princeton opens this season ranked No. 14 nationally and the Tigers are the preseason favorites in the Ivy League.

As one of the senior leaders for the Little Tigers, Hennessey was part of the group that made sure everyone was working towards being prepared for the start of the pre-season. “It’s been going pretty well,” Hennessey said. “We have been shaking things up and doing some different stuff with more tackling in practice. I think it will make us much better and I think we are doing well preparing to be ready for the start of the season. “There are a lot of things that we try to organize in the offseason. We’re with the team in the weight room after school. We have players attend and even some of the rising freshmen would be there. We’d also go outside and work on routes and plays.”

munity and are more than worthy of this recognition. The recognition of community institutions like Princeton Public Library and the Arts Council is huge. Jimmy and Audrey Mack have been contributing to our community for years. The recognition of Johnnie and Micheal Hill, two of the most versatile and talented women ever to come from this town, is long, long over due as well as is the acknowledgement of Moriah Akrong, a future leader among our young adults. Good selections.” In addition to the awards presentation, there were Joint Effort Book Scholarships presented to Denise Spivey (Stockton University) and Zahrion Blue (Lincoln University) and a special Youth Recognition Award to recent Princeton High School graduate, Amira Jackson.

Hun School football looks for ‘bounce-back’ year By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

Jackson Barletta would drive an hour each way to use the weight room at the Hun School this summer. That’s what is expected of you when you’re being counted on to be a leader on the football team from Princeton. “Throughout the summer we had a lot of guys at school working out to get ready for the season,” said Barletta, a New Providence resident. “We would get a good turnout and get in a lot of work. Our strength coach (Na’ati Akauola) is one of the best around and he is great with guys. We’d get 10-12 guys a day. We have bene in contact with each other and guys would get there whenever they could. I would have to drive an hour to get to Hun, but it was always worth it. “I felt like I had to be there.

Josh (Henderson) was also there every single day. I feel like it is good to have a captain there for real moral every single day.” Barletta and Henderson are captains and leaders for the Raiders, who are coming off an 8-1 season that earned them a share of the Mid-Atlantic Prep League championship. For most programs, an 8-1 finish would be something to get excited about. And while the Raiders were happy, they were not totally satisfied. Hun was coming off a pair of undefeated seasons and had a 29-game win streak snapped with a loss to Peddie. “Our league is always so balanced,” Barletta said. “Last year we lost to Peddie. But Peddie lost to Lawrenceville and we beat Lawrenceville. The MAPL is a free-for-all. I am excited for the whole season. I feel like every team has their players. The

coaches are what make the team and program and we have the best coaches. I feel like the players really buy into what our coaching staff is trying to do.” Last year was Barletta’s first at Hun and he quickly became a leader while playing wide receiver and safety. He had been a quarterback before arriving at Hun, but adapted well to the position switch with the Raiders. “The coaching staff voted me and Josh as two team captains and we will choose a couple more as soon as season starts,” said Barletta, who along with his teammates began preseason practice on Wednesday. “It is definitely an honor to get the opportunity to be a captain. “I think this year a little different for us. When I got here I saw the tradition that was going on and I think our coaching staff would agree we me that this year

we don’t have anything to lose. We lost that win streak last year, but it is just a number. We’re just trying to take every game and do the best we can.” Hun will open the season on Sept. 8 with a home game against Cheshire Academy of Connecticut. The non-league portion of the schedule includes road games at Stubenville High in Ohio, as well as at Haverford in Pennsylvania. There is also a home game against St. Thomas More of Connecticut before the MAPL schedule begins. “Playing the teams we play is a thrill,” Barletta said. “We have a lot of kids from pretty decent sized programs, so they know the big-time football. We don’t get the Friday night games but it is great to play the teams we play. If you want to be the best you have to play the best and we play some real good teams.”

Montgomery High School seeks to rebound on gridiron By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

The Montgomery High football team will look to turn the page on a tough 2017 season when the Cougars open against Summit on Sept. 7. The Cougars’ 2-8 record last year was their worst since going 1-9 in 2010. This year’s team will be in a new division in the MidState 38 Conference and face a

schedule that has its share of new opponents. “We are excited,” Montgomery co-captain Kyle Wierzbicki said. “Last year we played a lot of schools that were bigger than us. This year a lot are more of the teams we will be playing are our size. It gives us confidence. I think we will ave a good year. “We have a lot of guys that are going to fight it out. Montgomery doesn’t get a lot of credit as a

football town. But it is you see the number of people who come out to our games and how involved the community is, you can tell there is a lot of support for our team.” Montgomery has moved from the Mid-State 38’s Delaware Division to the Raritan Division, which includes Summit, Immaculata, North Hunterdon, Warren Hills and Scotch Plains-Fanwood. Gone from the schedule are pow-

erhouse programs like Hunterdon Central, Bridgewater-Raritan and Phillipsburg, as well as Ridge, Franklin and Hillsborough. They Cougars started getting ready for this season as soon as last season ended and feel prepared for what lies ahead. “All winter everyone goes to the weight room and then on top of that because of the rules

Springdale to host PGA Golf Clinic for Women By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

On the heels of welcoming junior golfers, parents, college coaches and spectators for the AJGA Championship, Springdale Golf Club in Princeton will serve as the host to a PGA Golf Clinic for Women on Wednesday, Sept. 26. Individual registration is now available, as well as corporate sponsor packages that include clinic access. The AJGA Championship, Princeton University’s extension of the club’s licensing agreement, and a new management agreement with the private club operating division of Troon. have all contributed to a

renewed sense of excitement at Springdale Golf Club. “The superior golf experience at Springdale has been part of the greater Princeton community for more than 120 years,” said Board President Kevin Tylus. “Hosting the AJGA Championship and PGA Golf Clinic for Women demonstrate our belief that everyone – regardless of gender, age, or skill level – should have an opportunity to connect with the game.” The AJGA Championship was played from July 30 through Aug. 1 at Springdale. More than 40,000 people have participated in PGA Golf Clinics for Women since 1990. Limited to a group of just 48 participants, the women spend a day learn-

ing all aspects of social and business golf from the finest female PGA and LPGA teaching professionals. “It’s about building confidence and opening doors,” said Jane Blalock, a 27time LPGA Tour Champion and CEO of JBC Golf, the management company charged with implementing PGA Golf Clinics for Women. “Men have been networking over the game of golf for years, and the resulting competitive advantage can be hard to beat,” observed Blalock. “Our mission is to get more women into the game and level that playing field.” Erin Hamrick, a Springdale board member and LPGA Foundation board di-

rector, worked closely with Blalock to secure the event for Springdale Golf Club. “Any program that helps women smash through the grass ceiling is worthy of support,” said Hamrick. Bryn Mawr Trust was the first to secure a corporate package for the event. Revenue from the sale of each corporate package will provide an opportunity for eight local women to learn how the game can positively impact and advance their careers. For details on corporate and individual participation in the PGA Golf Clinic for Women at Springdale Golf Club, contact Brian Thorne at 970-846-5665 or bthorne@troon.com.

US soccer champion Nicole Angelini, who will be a junior at the Hun School, was a member of the PDA South ’02 NPL 16-U girls’ soccer team that won the US Club Soccer NPL National Championship, which took place in Aurora, Colo., and culminated on July 16. Eighty-eight teams traveled from around the country and competed, with 12 teams making it onto the final day of competition. PDA South scored 23 goals and allowed only three in victories over Real CO Edge Select (7-0), Northern Steel Storm (5-1), Weston FC (3-2), FCUSA MA (3-0), and GPS MA (5-0) in the final. Pictured are team members and coaches from the tournament.

Montgomery Continued from Page 10A of when the coaches can coach, we do a lot on our own and practice through the winter,” said Wierzbicki, who is a captain along with Quinn Androsko. “As captains, throughout the winter we’re just running things making sure people get to the weight room and making sure people are ready. “Ever since I was one of the younger players I’ve seen the seniors take on that

leadership. So now when it is your turn you want to do your best.” Wierzbicki, who was a linebacker to start last season before eventually moving to the defensive line, will be adding offensive responsibilities this year as well as he plays on the offensive line. “I was always on defense last year and then I did some short yardage stuff on offense that I enjoyed,” Wierzbicki said. “I am happy to do more of that. We have a few guys that have

to chip in even if they’re starting on one side of the ball. Sometimes we just need guys to fill in wherever they are needed and we’re all willing to do that.” Montgomery will open the season with home games against Summit (Sept. 7) and Scotch Plains-Fanwood (Sept. 14) and Wierzbicki is looking forward to playing in front of the supportive home crowd. “I remember being in middle school and going to games they were so much fun,” he

said. “It would be cool to be on the field. The same thing as freshmen when we were

running balls. We were looking up to the older guys and now we’re the older guys.

“We have two quad scrimmages this

week and then a game scrimmage at the

beginning of next week against Hunterdon Central. Hopefully that will get us ready for Summit.”

ichie “La Bamba” Rosenberg and his band, La Bamba and the Hubcaps, paid a call to the Morristown Jazz & Blues Festival at the Morristown Greene on a summer afternoon in August. Rosenberg, who is known for his exceptional skill for playing the trombone, came to play Aug. 18, and he rocked back and forth with the nine-foot piece of brass nestled onto his left shoulder. “We love working and coming here and putting smiles on people’s faces,” Rosenberg said. “That’s what we really enjoy. We like to get the people really excited and enjoying what we enjoy. Fun. That’s what it’s all about, you know? It’s beautiful that the weather cleared up, and we’re here to party.” Rosenberg, who has been a part of Conan O’Brien’s Big Band for about 25 years, has also toured with legends such as Diana Ross, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, and Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Rosenberg began playing the trombone many years ago when his junior high school music director loaned him a school trombone for the summer in hopes he would play for the school band. “Their trombone section was going to get a little light with students graduating and they basically said to me, ‘Here. Take this over the summer,’ and handed me a trombone,” he said. “I was just given the trombone and have been playing it since.” Rosenberg credited a lot of his musical success to his school growing up and felt they were pretty big motivators in his career. “I went through the Philadelphia school system growing up, and they had a great music program and great music director, Leroy Evans,” he said. “I had a great trombone teacher, Brian Pastor, who plays in the Philly Pops, and so there was some great influence there.” Growing up in a household full of musicians, Rosenberg was always surrounded by performers. But it wasn’t until he started to play the trombone that Rosenberg began

to really listen to music. “My family was a great influence to me, as well,” he said. “My parents both knew how to play piano, they could sing, too. My sister was very musical, too. But when my parents got divorced, my stepfather was an avid jazz fan and he said, ‘Let’s get you some records,’ and I started listening to J.J. Johnson. I went out and bought every J.J. Johnson album I could find.” Eventually after years of listening to jazz, as well as years of playing the trombone, Rosenberg was offered a spot with Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. “I joined the Asbury Jukes in ’76,” he said. “I really didn’t know too much about any of their scene. I came in kind of cold, but it didn’t take too long to fall into place. I was the only trombone player that had been in The Jukes. It was a great experience. It was an eye-opening experience, or ear-opening experience, with Johnny being the record collector that he is. He knows a lot, he’s a real historian and that helped to build a lot of ideas.” Rosenberg, along with the band, started to play at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park and really started to build a library of songs.

COVER STORY

by Ken Downey Jr.

‘Blithe Spirit’ is a success at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey

he longest running show on the West End in London made its way across the Atlantic Ocean and landed at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey in Madison. “Blithe Spirit,” a play by Noël Coward, was written in only six days after Coward was fleeing his London office after it was being bombed in 1941 in the midst of World War II. Now, almost 80 years later, Coward’s play is still shown throughout the world. Set in London, novelist Charles Condomine (Brent Harris) invites a clairvoyant, Madame Arcati (Tina Stafford), to his home for a dinner party with his wife Ruth (Kate MacCluggage) and another couple, Dr. Bradman (Ames Adamson) and his wife (Monette Magrath). Condomine claims he invites Madame Arcati over to gain information on her, as well as her abilities, for an upcoming novel he is writing. However, it is clear Condomine doesn’t believe in her abilities, like the other dinner guests, and they just want to poke fun at the woman who they believe is a loon. When Madame Arcati performs her séance in the Condomine’s home, she collapses; and all appears normal, like nothing even has occurred. The Bradmans eventually return home, after Dr. Bradman helps Charles get Madame Arcati to wake. She leaves, as well, but not before making it a point to note she feels something is different from before she performed her séance. Now alone in their house, Charles and Ruth begin to retire for the evening. But when Charles’ first wife Elvira (Susan Maris), who died seven years earlier, appears, he believes he is going insane. Downing brandy after brandy, Charles tries to make the apparition go away. When he tries to tell current wife Ruth what is going on, she believes he is trying to play a trick on her.

‘So far, in my time 10 weeks - covering productions for TimeOFF, this has been my absolute favorite.’

Pictured (left to right): Ames Adamson as Mr. Bradman, Brent Harris as Charles, Tina Stafford as Madame Arcati, Monette Magrath as Mrs. Bradman, and Kate MacCluggage as Ruth.

Realizing only he can see and hear Elvira, he tries to tell her to return from whence she came. Not knowing how she appeared herself, Elvira has fun running around the Condomine home and playing with her former husband. Ruth tries to talk with her husband, but his attention is only on the apparition. Yelling at Elvira to leave, Ruth thinks he means her and goes to bed in anger. Now falling asleep on the couch, with the help of a few more glasses of brandy, Charles is convinced Elvira is really back. The next morning, Charles wakes to no sign of Elvira at all. He believes it was all in his head and is in a cheery mood. Ruth, who is still in mad over their argument from the night prior, listens to Charles as he tries to tell her once again he really did see his former wife, but now she is gone. Eventually appearing again, Elvira toys with Charles once more and again

Ruth is getting angry with him. Charles tries to convince his current wife to believe his former wife is quite possibly there, and Ruth begins to believe Charles is actually seeing something. Not an apparition, but a hallucination. Ruth, now patronizing her husband, tries to get him to lay down. Charles, who is getting angry himself, wants nothing more than Ruth to believe him. Finally, Charles convinces Elvira to move things throughout the house, and the first act closes with Ruth petrified by the existence of the apparition in her home. Blithe Spirit was brilliant! So far, in my time - 10 weeks - covering productions for TimeOFF, this has been my absolute favorite. The play is hilarious, witty and entertaining. Every actor in the play is sincere and I could not find one single error throughout the entire production. It was such a fun eve-

ning, and I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a night out at the theater. Honorable Mentions: Tina Stafford as Madame Arcati was the best part of the show! Every time she entered the stage she was met by anticipation from the audience as to what whacky thing she would do next. From dancing around the room to collapsing on the floor, Stafford truly embodied Coward’s vision as to what Madame Arcati should be. It was such a pleasure to watch. Susan Maris as Elvira was also a joy. The whimsical ghost swept across the stage in her white gown and flowing shawl. Her spunky attitude was fun to watch as she clashed with Kate MacCluggage’s Ruth, who was very stern. Kate MacCluggage as Ruth brought a sophisticated view to the show. Her severe but witty attitude was enjoyable, and MacCluggage was a great part of the show.

Princeton Summer Theatre closes out season

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2018 7:30 PM

he Baltimore Waltz closed the curtain on the Princeton Summer Theater’s 2018 season. The cast of three put on a final and fitting performance, which was held on Aug. 19. Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel in response to the AIDS crisis, “The Baltimore Waltz” follows two siblings, Anna and Carl, as they travel through Europe as a last attempt to live life to its fullest. The play opens with Carl (Sean Peter Drohan), who is clearly an openly gay man, telling the children who he reads to at a public library in San Francisco that he has been fired from his job and will be leaving at the end of the week. It is vague as to why he has been fired, but he is wearing a pink triangle on the top left of his shirt, a sign that was used to identify any homosexual individual in Nazi Germany. As an arts-and-crafts lesson in the library, Carl attempts to get the children to all cut out pink triangles from scrap paper. Carl is then asked to leave on the spot. But when his sister Anna (Abby Melick) contracts the incurable ATD (Acquired Toilet Disease) from one of the restrooms at the public elementary school she teaches at, she and Carl make their way to Europe to make sure Anna can see the world one last time. Anna, who feels that she has wasted her 30-year life being a “good girl,” wants to sleep her way through the continent as she feels she should direct her life through lust. Evan Gedrich, who plays a plethora of roles including The Doctor, The Third Man, Garçon, The Little Dutch Boy and many more, shares a bed with Anna on multiple occasions throughout the production, but not always as the same man. Carl, who claims an old friend lives in Europe and may have a black-market drug for his sister, races from country to country trying to find a cure for his dying sibling. In the end, the play was actually taking place in the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, where Carl is dying

of AIDS and Anna is imagining the trip the two of them had dreamed of taking but never actually did. Paula Vogel wrote this play after her own brother, Carl, had died of AIDS-related complications in 1988. When Carl Vogel was diagnosed with AIDS, Paula “was seized by panic that someday [she] would have to use the past tense to speak about Carl.” But after writing “The Baltimore Waltz,” and naming the male lead after her brother, Paula Vogel “rediscovered something about theater that [she] had once known but forgotten…. In the theater, characters are always living in the present moment, with an ever-impending future right up until the curtain falls. Carl would be in the present tense for as long as the play is read or performed.” Nico Krell, the director of Princeton Summer Theater’s production of “The Baltimore Waltz,” left this note to audiences in regard to Paula Vogel: “When Paula Vogel wrote ‘The Baltimore Waltz’ in 1989, she did not set out to encapsulate all of this multifaceted international epidemic. Instead, she sat in the hallway of Johns Hopkins Hospital, waiting for her brother Carl’s imminent death, pouring all of the confusion, remorse, hope and loss experienced waiting in that hallway into a play. What resulted is a deeply human story of a sister losing a part of her soul – her brother.”

“We started building our library,” he said. “It was all cover stuff. Eventually we got into original stuff, but it’s the cover stuff that people really seemed to enjoy out of us.” Rosenberg has toured with Bruce Springsteen, as well, and even played the trombone for Springsteen at the Super Bowl XLIII half time show in 2009 in Tampa. The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Arizona Cardinals in that game, 27-23. “I was with Bruce for a long time,” he said. “From the first rehearsal that I came into, it was a family back there. I knew Bruce from the first day that I joined The Jukes, and I ended up touring with him. That was incredible recording and touring with him.” Rosenberg who formed, La Bamba and the Hubcaps in the mid-1980s, also formed a Big Band consisting of 18 pieces. “I have this 18-piece big band,” Rosenberg said. “It has 13 horns, and it’s basically The Hubcaps with the 13 horns added on to

THINGS TO DO it. Occasionally, we would do some shows where Johnny or Bruce would come out and join us, and I started making that a big deal for me because I love to orchestrate.” Since he was in high school, Rosenberg has always loved to write his own music. “I’d get the pencil out and I’d write on the score pad, and I have this great library of stuff that I love to try out,” he said. Eventually Johnny Lyon, a.k.a. Southside Johnny, asked Rosenberg to do a Tom Waits album, as well as asking him to score the whole thing himself. “The album is called, ‘Grapefruit Moon: The Songs of Tom Waits,” Rosenberg said. “We put it out on CD and critics loved it. It’s really one of my proudest moments. It has to be between that and the Super Bowl. That was a huge experience for me to have that all recorded and presented. To make that even more special, Johnny and the band came on Conan and we performed one of the songs live. To be a member of the house band and to have my band on that same show, it doesn’t get any better than that.”

Pam Hersh

Princeton advises to Revise Your Ride

he single life can be a desireable lifestyle, but a single-occupied vehicle has major drawbacks, in my opinion – that of a lifelong mass transit and shared transit advocate. The shiny sports car that transported only one person to work does little good for the employee, employer, the local community and society at large. Princeton University for the past decade has been working to curb their employees’ love affair with their cars when it comes to commuting to work in a single-occupied vehicle. Kim Jackson, Princeton University director of TigerCard Services, Transportation and Parking Services, works as a transportation matchmaker, finding employees alternate ways of getting to work. She oversees a Commuter Concierge program to provide personalized commute plans to make it even easier for its employees to leave their cars at home. The university kicked into a higher gear in the fall of 2017 with the implementation of the Revise Your Ride alternative commuting initiative that made it into the news again a few weeks ago, when the Greater Mercer Transportation Management Association (GMTMA), in its summer newsletter, featured Priceton University for its efforts. GMTMA is a non profit, public private partnership dedicated to promoting and providing transportation choices that are designed to reduce congestion, improve mobility, increase safety and further sustainability in the region. The GMTMA’s mission resonates completely with the intent of Princeton University’s transportation program, according to Jackson. “Decreasing the number of cars that drive to campus is part the University’s ongoing efforts to cut carbon dioxide emissions, reduce local air pollution and improve traffic,” she said. Princeton originally initiated its campaign to cut the number of cars on campus in 2009, by providing several benefits: an extensive shuttle program (with real-time tracking), on-campus food service locations (no need to drive someplace for lunch); pretax payroll deductions to help with commuting costs for employees; subsidies on

monthly transit passes; and preferred parking spots for vehicles providing car-pooling and van-pooling services. Nine months ago, Princeton University put more resources into the commuter-alternatives by launching Revise Your Ride, which expanded its existing commute benefits program to also include a cash incentive for biking or walking and free monthly passes for NJ Transit bus riders. More than 1,000 employees now participate in an alternative commuting program, including 600 members who signed up since October. According to Jackson, Revise Your Ride participants over the last six months have:

• saved almost 10,000 gallons of gas • reduced 200,000 pounds of carbon emissions • avoided driving enough to cross the country 110 times • avoided $30,000 in gas and maintenance costs. As many in Princeton know, I personally prefer feet to wheels, and when I worked at Princeton University, I had the glorious ability and priviledge to walk to work. No one had to bribe me with anything other than an occasional bag of Cheetos.

A mini stroke may be a warning sign

Did you know that according to the American Stroke Association, people who have severe strokes often report having earlier warning signs? In fact, among patients who are treated for a blockage-related stroke (called an ischemic stroke) up to 40 percent report experiencing a mini-stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) first, according to the American Stroke Association. That’s why it is important to recognize the symptoms of a mini-stroke and seek prompt medical attention even if the symptoms last only a few minutes. At Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center, designated by the State of New Jersey as a Primary Stroke Center, specially trained acute stroke teams are available 24/7 to diagnose stroke. As a Primary Stroke Center, PMC maintains neurology and Emergency Department personnel trained in the diagnosis and treatment of acute stroke, as well as acute rehabilitation services for patients. A Temporary Blockage A transient ischemic attack is a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain caused by a clot that disappears on its own or gets dislodged so that it stops causing symptoms. Because the blockage is brief, blood flow is restored quickly, leaving no lasting damage to the brain. However, a TIA is a warning sign that can indicate the likelihood of a full-blown stroke in the future. As the American Stroke Association reports, about a third of the people who experience a TIA go on to have a severe stroke within a year. A TIA is often the result of a buildup of cholesterol-containing fatty deposits called plaques (atherosclerosis) in an artery or one of its branches that supplies oxygen and nutrients to the brain. These plaques can decrease the amount of blood flowing through the artery or cause a clot to develop. While anyone can experience a TIA, certain factors can increase your risk, including:

Paul Kaiser, M.D.

• Family history of TIA and stroke • Being over the age of 55 • Prior mini-strokes • Smoking • Obesity • High blood pressure • High cholesterol • Diabetes • Heart or blood vessel disorder

Watch for These Symptoms Symptoms of a mini-stroke are the same as a full-blown stroke and may include sudden onset of: • Weakness, numbness or paralysis of the face, arm or leg, usually on one side • Slurred or garbled speech • Difficulty comprehending language • Double visions or loss of vision in one or both eyes • Dizziness or loss of concentration • Severe headache

Though these symptoms may resolve quickly, proper medical evaluation is needed to determine whether you have had a TIA, a stroke or another medical problem and whether treatment is needed. If you

Continued from Page 14B experience symptoms of a TIA or stroke, call 9-1-1 and seek immediate medical care. Diagnosis and Treatment In diagnosing a TIA or stroke, doctors will take a complete medical history and perform a physical and neurological exam. Diagnostic imaging tests such as an MRI may be ordered to determine the location and extent of brain injury, if any. Treatment for a TIA generally focuses on prevention. Certain medications may be prescribed to help reduce the tendency of blood to clot. In some situations, surgery may be recommended to clear arteries from fatty deposits before another TIA or a stroke can occur. In the case of a full-blown stroke, one of the most important treatments is a drugcalled t-PA (tissue plasminogen activator). However, t-PA can only be injected within three hours of the onset of symptoms. The drug can prevent lingering disabilities in patients with a certain type of stroke. Because immediate care is critical to a stroke patient’s survival and recovery, PMC is committed to having a stroke team, including specially trained physicians and registered nurses, available within 15 minutes following the diagnosis of a potential acute stroke. To help prevent TIA and stroke, the

• Preventing or controlling high blood pressure. High blood pressure is the number one risk factor for stroke. • Eating a healthy diet. Foods like fruits, vegetables, fish and whole grains can lower your risk for stroke. • Quitting smoking. Smoking is another leading risk factor for stroke. • Being physically active. Set a goal of getting 150 minutes of exercise a week. • Controlling blood sugar. Left untreated, diabetes can cause a number of health complications that can lead to stroke. • Losing weight.A healthy weight can help regulate blood pressure and control blood sugar. • Managing cholesterol. High cholesterol can lead to atherosclerosis. Remember, a TIA is often a warning sign. Heed the symptoms and seek medical attention to avoid a full-blown stroke and stay healthy. For more information about the PMC Stroke Center or to find a physician affiliated with Princeton Health, call 888.742.7496 or visit www.princetonhcs. org. Paul Kaiser, M.D., is certified in clinical neurophysiology, neurology and vascular neurology. He is a member of the Penn Medicine Princeton Health medical staff.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED The Spirit of Princeton invites members of the community to join the team of volunteers who now produce three popular and patriotic town events. Those events are the Memorial Day Parade (the Saturday before Memorial Day), the Flag Day Commemoration (June 14) and the Veterans’ Day Ceremony (Nov. 11). The basic requirements are enthusiasm and a willingness to pitch in. In addition to help on the day of the celebrations, the organization will use the special talents (marketing, computer, organizational, fundraising, financial) of the volunteer to help with the planning and implementing process. The time commitment over the course of a year is probably no more than 20 hours. A charitable non-profit group of local residents dedicated to bringing the community

together through the above-mentioned civic events, the Spirit of Princeton became operational 21 years ago and is led by Mark Freda and Kam Amizarfari. The recently deceased Ray Wadsworth, who founded the organization with Herb Hobler, led the organization until his death, a few days after the 2018 Memorial Day Parade. Over the years, thousands of individuals of all ages from throughout the greater Princeton area have enjoyed honoring active duty, retired and deceased military service men and women, who put their lives on the line to protect everyone living in the United States and America’s democratic values. Anyone interested in contributing to of the Spirit of Princeton with some sweat equity (financial support also appreciated) please contact Mark Freda at email mark@16fisher.com.

Treatment in as Few as 5 SESSIONS vs. 40 CONVENTIONAL SESSIONS

Dr. Timothy Chen

Nearly one in six American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. At Capital Health’s Cancer Center, a multidisciplinary team helps men return to active and productive lives using state-of-the-art technology and advanced treatment options. One of these, CyberKnife® Robotic Radiosurgery, is an outpatient procedure that safely treats prostate cancer patients in as few as five treatments with minimal to no side effects. Other conventional radiation therapy options can take up to 40 treatment sessions and have greater risk for side effects. Capital Health was the 30th provider in the United States (third in New Jersey) to offer CyberKnife® as a treatment option for cancers located anywhere in the body. In the 11 years since introducing CyberKnife® at Capital Health Cancer Center, the team has treated more than 1,300 patients with cancerous and noncancerous tumors.

A STUDY IN SURVIVAL Experienced radiation oncologists and their team at Capital Health have participated in an eight-year national study (in association with Accuray, manufacturer of CyberKnife®) documenting their experience and outcomes in treating prostate cancer with CyberKnife®. In addition, between August 2008 and August 2016, 75 men were treated for prostate cancer with CyberKnife® alone. Patients defined as low-risk and intermediate-risk participated in this retrospective quality study. Overall, CyberKnife® achieved a 97 percent survival rate. Prostate specific antigens (PSA), a protein produced exclusively by prostate cells, is one of several factors that are measured to determine Dr. Shirnett Williamson successful treatment. In general, a higher PSA level indicates a greater likelihood of prostate cancer. All except four men in the Capital Health study had a decrease in their PSA from their initial reading. At three years, 91 percent had PSA numbers that were consistent with national guidelines for healthy levels. In addition, 71 percent of the men seen at their last follow up visit maintained their pre-treatment sexual function, and 72 percent maintained at five years. This is a higher rate of potency preservation when comparing to other prostate cancer treatment modalities. “CyberKnife® has proven to be compatible to other prostate cancer treatment modalities, and our experience is consistent with this observation,” said Dr. Shirnett Williamson, medical director of Radiation Oncology Services at Capital Health Cancer Center. “In addition to being recommended for low- and intermediate-risk patients, CyberKnife® is an option to more advanced prostate cancer patients to boost their intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), or as a re-treatment option.” NO PAIN, ALL GAIN “Patients are amazed at how easy the treatments actually are and that there are no incisions or cuts,” said Dr. Timothy Chen, medical director of Stereotactic Radiosurgery at Capital Health Cancer Center. “CyberKnife’s flexible robotic arm enables us to access hard-to-reach areas anywhere in the body. It is continuously taking images as it rotates around the patient, guiding us as we deliver radiation directly to the tumor site with sub-millimeter accuracy. This is important because we always want to preserve healthy cells surrounding the tumor site and deliver better outcomes.” Patients can even stay in their own clothes during treatment, which provides greater comfort. Patient benefits for being treated with CyberKnife® include: • No Incisions • No Pain • No Bleeding • No Anesthesia (mild sedation only in rare cases) • No Recovery Time ADVANCED CANCER CARE For men diagnosed with prostate cancer, CyberKnife® is now a standard therapy approved by national guidelines and is approved by most insurance companies as well as Medicare. Capital Health Cancer Center, located at Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell, is the area’s most advanced provider of cancer treatment delivered by some of the most experienced medical experts. For more information or to find out if you are a candidate for CyberKnife®, call 609.303.4565 or visit capitalcyberknife.com.
