Cochrane reflects as schools face new school year By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

His tenure as superintendent of schools in Princeton began on a snowy January day not quite five years ago, the starting point for Stephen C. Cochrane to lead, and change, a public school district seen as one of the best in the state and the nation. He has sought to redefine what success means for students, focus on their mental and physical well being, and prepare the district and the community at large for a future that, in less than a decade, is expected to see enrollment top 4,500 students.

With schools set to reopen next week, Cochrane paused on a recent morning to share some of the changes in store for the upcoming academic year. It is a 10-monthperiod that will be highlighted in November by a bond referendum worth $129.6 million to pay for building a new school and for other projects officials have identified. “The school year is like opening a new book and it’s filled with all these possibilities for meeting new people, exploring new ideas (and) creating new adventures,” he said by phone. “What’s great about a school like Princeton is that we’re sort of writing the book

together.” Starting in September, the school day at Princeton High School will begin 30 minutes later, at 8:20 a.m., to address concerns officials had heard of students not getting enough sleep. Cochrane said he thought students would welcome the change. “We know that aligning the schedule of our building with the biology of students’ brains improves learning,” he said. “Our kids are going to be more fully awake when they are learning. It’s going to improve physical and emotional wellness.” The change in start time also has implications for Cranbury,

the community with which Princeton has a send-receive relationship. Cochrane said his district has worked with Cranbury on the change and said there were test runs of school buses “to make sure that starting half an hour later, they are still able to get across Route 1 in time for the start of school at Princeton High School.” Board of Education President Patrick Sullivan said the later start time is “one piece” of the puzzle to help students. Other steps include limiting the amount of homework they are assigned and “hopefully” limiting the number of advanced placement courses they can take. The thinking behind those

Local architecture firm tapped for ‘city’ aesthetic at U.S. Open By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

When Roger Federer takes a break during one of his matches at the U.S. Open, he can thank Princeton-based Michael Graves Architecture & Design for having a comfy place to sit. The firm on Nassau Street was chosen in December by the United States Tennis Association to design all the “furniture” for the courts at the two-week tennis tournament that began on Aug. 27 in Queens, N.Y. That includes everything from the seats court officials use to containers holding water bottles and tennis balls. The U.S. Open, one of the four Grand Slam tournaments, was aiming to give itself a new look on its 50th anniversary. “We’ve had the same look on our courts since 1997,” USTA spokesman Chris Widmaier said. “So it’s been a long time since we thought of transforming or creating a new visual court identity.”

One step in that change was designing a new logo for the tournament. “Beyond that, we began to think there may be an opportunity here to create a new visual identity for the U.S. Open and bring that to life on the courts as well,” he said. That’s where Michael Graves Architecture & Design came in, having won a competitive process to land the assignment. When the firm started working on designs at the beginning of the year, it began from the ground up. “In order to really, truly reimagine the tournament, it has to be from scratch,” said Donald Strum, principal of the firm. “It has to be from using our imagination in developing the court-side furniture. Really, it was about how do you make it feel premium for the grandest of slams.” This was not the first time the firm worked on a sports-related See FIRM, Page 7A

steps, he said, would be to give students more free time and reduce their stress levels. “I’m happy about the schedule,” Sullivan said, “but I think there will be more that we do.” More changes could be in store as officials look to develop a calendar for 2019-20, potentially to have schools open before Labor Day. Starting in August likely would be in the last week of that month. “That’s a discussion now with the board and the teachers (union),” Cochrane said. “It aligns more with what schools are doing

Kipnis seeks to replace Coleman in Congressional race By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Daryl Kipnis has just come in from the rain on a recent Monday morning, when the Republican Congressional candidate is running late for an appointment. His suit jacket is wet and two campaign aides have accompanied him as he prepares to discuss why voters in the 12th Congressional District — a swath of New Jersey from Union County to Mercer County — should choose him in November.

“I’ve always been a believer in individual liberty,” he said during an interview. “Government needs to be there for people who need it. And people do need it. It’s there to keep us safe, it’s there to stop injustices, it’s there to right wrongs. But it’s not there to do every single function in life.” For nearly 44 minutes, Kipnis shared his views on topics ranging from immigration and President Donald Trump to the troubles facing New Jersey and the nation as a whole. “My views are not always go-

ing to align with the Republican Party,” he said. “My views align with the people of the district, the people in New Jersey and to have a representative in the truest sense of the word.” Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., Kipnis lived there for a brief time until his family moved to Staten Island and then finally to New Jersey, in East Brunswick. He counts former President Ronald Reagan as one of the people who influenced his political views. He recalled seeing the fall of communism in Europe as a boy.

“That was the time when I really started paying attention and following everything,” he said. Kipnis graduated from Rutgers University in 2002 and from the Seton Hall University School of Law in 2005. In law school, he lost his best friend, Army Lt. Seth Dvorin, who was killed while serving in Iraq in 2004. Looking back, he said he thinks the Iraq War was a mistake and believes former President George W. Bush, “in many ways, had a personal motivation to finish what his father started.”

Asked in what scenario he, as a Congressman, could support a resolution authorizing the President to send troops overseas, Kipnis said he would “hope I would never have to.” “I don’t think you’re going to see a country, a whole country, mobilize a war effort against the United States in the immediate future,” he said. Kipnis, 38, lives with his wife and their three children in Franklin Township. Professionally, he is an attorney whose law office is

Local club celebrates 20 years of Scrabble competition By Samantha Brandbergh Contributor

Looking up at her Scrabble opponent, Judy Cole realized that her next word, “opalize,” was not actually a valid word in the now 80-year-old board game. She’d have to rethink what she was going to do next. Every Tuesday, the Princeton Scrabble Club #513 set up boards and timers in the back of the Panera Bread in Princeton’s Nassau Park for an evening of high-level play. It’s a process that has been going on for the past 20 years. And while many people have since ditched traditional board games for their online or mobile equivalent, like Words with Friends, Cole is just one member of a long-running club in Princeton that agrees nothing compares to a physical Scrabble board. “It’s the strategy for me, because we can use so many different words from different languages and every field imaginable,” Club Director Lynda Woods Cleary said. “So, I like it for that reason, I always approach the board as a problem to solve.” Cleary and her husband started the Princeton Scrabble Club two decades ago, posting flyers in every Mercer County library and supermarket to attract fellow Scrabble enthusiasts. The group began meeting in Barnes & Noble at MarketFair, and later Borders Books before coming to Panera Bread. People in the area expressed interest in the club, with retirees attending meetings to play what was their “favorite childhood game,” Cleary said.

“I was happy that I was fulfilling a need for people in the area,” she added. “This game, you don’t have to have any special skills at all.” For the uninitiated, Scrabble is a word game, currently manufactured by Hasbro, that has two to four players placing letter tiles onto a board consisting of a 15 x 15 grid. Letters placed on the board must form words that can be read in rows or columns and can be found in a standard dictionary. Each letter has a point value and depending on where they are placed, those points can be multiplied. The player with the most points wins. The game, which was designed by Alfred Mosher Butts in 1938, is sold in more than 100 countries and is available in 29 languages. On a recent August evening, Cleary and club members Ayo Adeyeri,Jason Keller and Cole prepared for the first game of the evening by mixing their letter tiles in small fabric bags and firing up a piece of Scrabble computer software called Zyzzyva, named after a snouted beetle. Players come when they can, Cleary said, with 12 to 16 regular and closely affiliated members being the average number of people in the club. The group’s individual members have competed in competitions ranging from single day or weekend local tournaments to national and international championships. Keller recently placed third in the North American Scrabble Championship, which took place on Aug. 4 to 8 in Buffalo, N.Y. Play-

ing with a dictionary used in international competitions, Keller went against players from Australia, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Nigeria and 49 states and provinces. Keller, who also solves crossword puzzles competitively, said Scrabble has always been a part of his life. He and his mother would play when he was age 8, and adding an “s” to the end of a word was about as advanced as the game play would get, he said. However, his interest in the game took off 11 years ago when he was browsing Borders Books and found “Word Freak” by Stefan Fatsis. “I didn’t have any summer reading so I thought, ‘I’m gonna check this out,’” he said. Fast forward more than a decade later, and he compares Scrabble to any other sport, thanking his competitors for pushing him to enhance his skills. “For me, there’s always something more to strive for, and one thing that I’m thankful for, is that there are enough people I know and who I’ve met around the country and around the world who give it that sort of treatment,” he said. “There’s always something that you can improve on.” The most points he has scored on a single word, he said, was during a 2016 tournament — “Klezmers,” worth 212 points. Websites like CrossTables.com treat the boardgame like a sport, as well, showing upcoming tournaments, statistics and how many games a single player has won over a certain period of time. Adeyeri began play-

Cole, on the other hand, has been playing for as long as she can remember. She had been a member of the Scrabble Association for 20 years prior to going to clubs in 2006, but her interest peaked in college. While the group’s experience varies, there is one thing they all have in common: they are problem solvers. “I was fascinated by intellectual board games with strategy,” Adeyeri said. “It helps you think, it develops your mind. I have a problem solving mentality. The whole game is a problem, and you have to figure out how to solve them.” See SCRABBLE, Page 5A

A Beautiful Smile Works the Best Many parents ask me if straightening teeth is for cosmetic purposes only. The answer lies in the direct link between form and function. Teeth function best when they look their best! For example, teeth should fit together like pieces of a puzzle. An upper molar should fit in between two lower teeth. Upper front teeth should be slightly in front of lower front teeth. Speaking and eating are adversely affected if these forms or positions are incorrect. When upper teeth protrude forward in an overbite, it is more difficult to pronounce “f”, “th”, and “v” sounds. When lower teeth protrude forward in an underbite, it is much harder to

eat foods like pizza, apples, or sandwiches that require biting with front teeth. If teeth are spaced apart, crowded, or in crossbite not all teeth are fitting together. There is more wear and tear on the few teeth taking the brunt of the force put on them by chewing. This wear and tear can lead to sensitivity of the teeth, gum problems, and jawbone problems. If teeth are rotated or overlapped, toothbrush bristles cannot reach the inaccessible areas, and cavities can result. Orthodontics not only creates beautiful smiles, but also improves speaking, eating, and the overall health of teeth. Now, that’s something to smile about!

Exploring New Jersey’s wildflower meadows

New Jersey’s wildflower meadows are spectacular this month! “Meadows are beautiful, they’re vibrant and they host diverse wildlife,” said wildflower expert Tama Matsuoka Wong of Flemington, who has two meadows on her property. “The plants are changing all season … every two weeks you get new plants. I don’t think you can match nature. It’s really magical.” “Meadows are not only beautiful, but are quite an ecosystem,” said Sharon Wander, president of the New Jersey Butterfly Club. Many butterflies need sun and warmth to fly, and up to 125 butterfly species may utilize a single wildflower meadow! In addition to butterflies, pollinators like birds, bees, beetles and other insects are attracted to meadows. For instance, Wander said a single patch of native mountain mint can attract hundreds of sweat bees, a valuable pollinator. Mammals like foxes are also attracted to meadows for cover and food, and bats and dragonflies will swoop in to feed on insects. There are plenty of meadows to visit in this state we’re in. Check them out for a dose of instant zen. White Lake Natural Resource Area – Hardwick Township, Warren County. The centerpiece of this 394-acre preserve is a beautiful lake, but there are diverse habitats surrounding it, including a wildflower meadow. The Ridge & Valley Conservancy will lead a tour of the meadow on Satur-

day, Sept. 8, from 10 a.m. to noon, leaving from the parking area on Route 521. Willowwood Arboretum and Bamboo Brook Outdoor Education Center – Chester Township, Morris County. These side-by-side Morris County parks – linked by the well-known Patriots Path trail – have rolling meadows that attract many butterflies this time of year. While you’re there, check out the gardens and historic structures at the two parks. Kittatinny Valley State Park – Andover Township, Sussex County. One of the state park system’s hidden gems, Kittatinny Valley covers more than 5,000 acres along the spine of the Kittatinny Mountains. Among its many habitats are meadows filled with tall grasses and wildflowers. If you go, be sure to leave enough time to check out its lakes, hiking trails and butterfly and hummingbird garden. Rutkowski Park – Bayonne, Hudson County – This little urban park is living proof that you don’t need to have thousands of acres to attract wildlife. One of the park’s landmarks is the large concrete “compass” at its center. The Bayonne Nature Club took a neglected field surrounding the compass and transformed it into a wildflower meadow. Warinanco Park – Roselle, Union County – More than a decade ago, Union County employees and volunteers took a tattered, goose-infested lawn surrounding a lake and planted native wildflowers. Today, visitors can enjoy a col-

orful wildflower meadow and thriving butterfly habitat. Greenwood Gardens – Millburn Township, Essex County. Greenwood Gardens is a 28-acre public garden surrounded by 2,110 acres of Essex County Park System’s South Mountain Reservation. It’s best known for formal gardens, but it also has a wild side, including meadows. Mercer Meadows County Park – Lawrence Township, Mercer County. Miles of mowed and gravel trails provide a great place for visitors to hike and bike. In addition to the park’s extensive grasslands, there are lovely lakes and woodlands. Rancocas Nature Center - Westampton, Burlington County. The nature center, part of Rancocas State Park, features a big meadow with a trail winding through it. Along the trail, visitors will see a butterfly and dragonfly habitat, bat boxes, American woodcock habitat and a dragonfly pond. Thompson Park - Lincroft, Monmouth County. A former horse estate, Thompson Park has 14 miles of multi-use trails through meadows, fields and woodlands. Some of these trails go around Marlu Lake and the Swimming River Reservoir. Duke Farms – Hillsborough, Somerset County. At more than 1,000 acres, the former Doris Duke estate has been transformed into a model of ecological sustainability. The property is crisscrossed by hiking and bicycle trails, which will take you through beautiful wildflower meadows and woods.

Greenway Meadows – Princeton, Mercer County. This gorgeous park on the former Robert Wood Johnson estate includes spectacular native wildflower meadows created by the D&R Greenway Land Trust, whose headquarters is in the park. Greenway Meadows also includes the wonderful Scott and Hella McVay Poetry Trail. Stone Harbor Bird Sanctuary – Stone Harbor, Cape May County. Stone Harbor is best known for its beaches, but the Wetlands Institute teamed up with the bird sanctuary to create a 3,000-square-foot wildflower meadow that’s beneficial to butterflies, bees, hummingbirds and songbirds. If you’re interested in starting your own wildflower meadow, it’s easy. Just pick an area of land, stop mowing and see what wildflowers come up on their own. You may have to remove invasive non-native plants at first, then mow once a year to keep down woody growth, but you’ll be rewarded with abundant natural beauty.

Princeton grad students to hold forum on global warming In early 2017, a number of Princeton students, led by Jonathan Lu and Joseph Abbate, started the Princeton Students’ Climate Initiative (PSCI). Their purpose was to come together to propose environmental policies that would lead to a reduction of fossil fuel emissions – initiatives long stalled in Congress. Among the steps they planned was to hold a forum, now scheduled for this coming Sept. 15, in which a number of crucial policies tackling global warming and related issues would be discussed and lead to action. The issues the PSCI sees as necessary to address are: emissions or air pollution, transportation, buildings’ emissions and power sources, equitable or just transitions for all community members, resiliency, waste, and warming gases and their sources.

Expected participants will be not only students and members of the university, but members of local environmental groups such as the Citizens Climate Lobby, Sustainable Princeton, Footprints 2 Wings, the Sierra Club and others. So that the forum discussions would not become scattered and unwieldy, the PSCI leaders held a mid-August dry run in which policies, moderators, pace and timing were discussed. The purpose of this practice session held at the university’s Frist Campus Center was to ensure clarity and efficiency in the September forum. During the the dry run, the first issue discussed was air pollution, or emissions. Those speaking out saw several aspects necessary to cover, including reports on the levels and sources of pollutions, along with strategies to combat emissions. There seemed to be general agreement that put-

ting a price on carbon through fee and dividend programs could be the most efficient, and most likely to be adopted, solution. The second topic to be addressed was buildings – their power sources and emissions. Speakers reported that the problem holding back many building owners from addressing the issue is the fear of up-front costs. Community or government assistance has been and can be of assistance. The benefits to owners of the various LEED designations was also noted. In addition, participants mentioned that allied building costs, such as location and transportation, should also be discussed. The intention for the upcoming September forum is for attendees to not only come away with hope that pollution could be curtailed, but that they will take with them a number of effective technologies and policies to be supported and adopted.

A third major policy topic was transportation. With New Jersey’s relatively clean electric power sources, vehicles emissions are the single greatest source of emissions. Those at the dry-run meeting stated that long-term planning will be crucial, whether for more centralized transportation, alternate fuels, electric or hybrid vehicles, community financing, and state, regional, or national fee and dividend programs. Generally, students involved in the forum hope the event will provide direction for everyday citizens. For those who have wondered what can be done about global warming, and the many allied issues, PSCI’s September forum should provide both ideas and participants to undertake solutions.

another medical emergency ever confront me.” He kept that promise, becoming an emergency medical technician (EMT) in college and volunteering to help his campus community. His desire to give back continued long after his college graduation. Despite a budding career as a practicing attorney and owner of an information technology consulting business, as well as his daily commitment to his family, Michael sought opportunities to help others. One way was by volunteering with the Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad, where he learned technical rescue disciplines (motor vehicle extrication, ice rescue, confined space rescue, and swift-water rescue). As an EMT and technical rescuer, his courage, determination and coolness under pressure were evident as he provided care for victims of lifethreatening medical emergencies. Such was his intention on the evening of August 27, 2011. Hours before Hurricane Irene wreaked extraordinary damage on Princeton, Michael ensured that his family was safe before making his way to PFARS to offer his assistance. He was not scheduled to be on duty, but he knew that as a swift-water rescue technician, he had the skills necessary to help those who could be affected by the looming storm. Though he had been with PFARS for only three years, Michael was unflappable, and his acts of kindness and bravery made him a beloved member of the EMS family.

FAX (732) 780-4678

At 4:38 a.m. the following day at the height of Hurricane Irene, PFARS was dispatched to Rosedale Road in the area of the Stony Brook for a water rescue. When the crews, including Michael, arrived on scene, they found a sedan partially submerged in two feet of floodwater about 70 yards from the water’s edge. Emergency personnel were unable to see whether the vehicle was occupied, and after repeated attempts to signal to the vehicle, the vehicle’s rear tail lights began to flash. Believing that people might be trapped inside, Michael and another swift-water rescue technician entered the water at 5:05 a.m. and proceeded halfway to the vehicle before they both were swept from their feet by a rush of water. A haul team was unable to pull them back to shore and Michael was caught underwater in a stand of trees. The haul line was cut to free him from the trees and he was carried approximately 100 yards downstream with the current. When rescuers arrived, they found Michael in cardiac arrest. Emergency personnel on scene worked feverishly, performing CPR and rushing him to the University Medical Center of Princeton. Michael’s heart was restarted, but he remained unresponsive. As word of the incident spread, Michael’s family and friends gathered in the intensive care unit of the hospital, utilizing every resource they could to find passable

roads and flights to get to his side. Everyone prayed for him to regain consciousness. He never did. Late in the evening, Michael succumbed to his injuries. He was 39 years old. It was later determined that the car was empty – the flashing tail lights were likely caused by a malfunction of the car’s electrical system. This fact does not detract from Michael’s intention when he entered the water to aid someone whose life may have been in danger. Michael’s resolution in the face of the great risk was a testament to his courage. Michael’s death resonated across the country as stories of his passing spread in the media and among close-knit networks of first responders. Inspired, humbled and deeply affected by this tragedy, hundreds of rescuers who had never met Michael came to pay tribute to his bravery and sacrifice. Those of us who had the privilege of working with Michael at PFARS recall August 28 as the saddest day in our history. We also remember a man of great love, generosity and courage who continues to inspire us every day. Mark Freda, President Frank Setnicky, Chief Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad

Kipnis Continued from Page 1A in Somerset County. This is the second time in as many years Kipnis is running for political office. He lost in a landslide to state Sen. Bob Smith (D-Middlesex and Somerset), but he said he was approached by Republicans to run for Congress. “I looked into doing it,” he said. “I thought about it with the family and talked about it and decided I could do a lot of positive work in Washington.” This year, he is challenging Democratic Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, who has raised about $690,500 for the contest. An email message to her campaign was not returned. “My opponent hasn’t accomplished what I would like to accomplish in Washington,” he said. “She is a hard-core Democrat.”

Scrabble

But the district has not been kind to Republicans. Democrat Rush Holt won the seat in an upset in 1998, the year Kipnis graduated from East Brunswick High School. Since then, Democrats have won every contest, typically in a landslide. Coleman was reelected in 2016 by about 30 points. “I don’t get the sense in people I talk to when I’m out campaigning that there’s going to be an issue with voting for a Republican at all,” Kipnis said. Princeton Republican Chairman Dudley Sipprelle said Kipnis met with Republicans in that Mercer County town, one of the communities in the district. “We had a good impression of him,” Sipprelle said. “He’s very earnest. He’s very hard-working.” But Sipprelle said Kip-

nis has an “uphill climb” in a “gerrymandered district” where his own son, Scott, lost to Holt in 2010. Kipnis, asked about Trump, believes the president has accomplished much in less than two years in office: low unemployment, high consumer confidence and Wall Street doing well. “He’s delivered on his promises he made to the American people,” Kipnis said. “Do I have issues with his tone sometimes? Yes. Does he say things I won’t say? Yes. Has he made mistakes? Yes. But as a whole, if you look at what he’s accomplished, there are very few presidents, if any, in history who have done so much and reversed a lot of issues lingering from not just the previous president’s administration, but the previous two, three, four presi-

Continued from Page 3A While the group has been playing Scrabble individually and with groups for multiple years, and decades for some, they said they can never get tired of it. “It’s a lot of fun playing with these guys,” Adeyeri said. “Once you enjoy the game, you can’t put it down.” The next Princeton Scrabble club weekend tournament will take place on March 29 to 31 at the Princeton Marriott at Forrestal on College Road East. While new members are welcome, they are required to join the national organization at ScrabblePlayers.org.

dents’ administrations in a short period of time.” On immigration, Kipnis said he supports the Dreamer Act, which would provide a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants who were brought to the United States as children. On his campaign website, he said he favors reforming the nation’s immigration system to “assist others in retaining resident status and streamlining their path to citizenship as well.” “Mass deportation and sending people out and then having them come back makes no sense at all,” said Kipnis, who added he would vote to fund a border wall. Of the tax cut Congress passed last year, Kipnis said around “60 percent of people in New Jersey are

going to see a benefit or break even from the tax reform bill.” The measure has been criticized by Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy and others in the state for limiting the state and local tax deduction on federal income taxes at $10,000. “But let’s focus on the real reason why it hurts New Jersey,” Kipnis said. “The reason why it hurts New Jersey is profligate spending by the Democratcontrolled Legislature for 17 years.” On social issues, he said he favors legalizing marijuana and thinks states should be allowed to make up their minds on the issue. He said Roe v Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion, “should remain the

law of the land.” He favors abolishing the U.S. Department of Education, supports getting more money into the state for infrastructure and wants to address the college loan debt crisis. Kipnis points to how New Jersey gets back less from the federal government than it provides in tax dollars. New Jersey sends among the most, “and we get the least back,” he said. He criticizes “moocher” states like Missouri and Montana that he said get “a lot” of money from the federal government, but “don’t send nearly as much to Washington in terms of revenue that we do.” “And we need it, our state is broke,” Kipnis said.

of the district. The school board is due to vote on Sept. 4 to put the referendum on the ballot for Nov. 6. Cochrane has sought to explain why the community needs to make the investment, chiefly because of enrollment growth projected to exceed 4,500 students by 2027. “I think everyone recognizes there’s a need here,” he said. “The enrollment is going up. We have more kids who are coming to us. We have to find space for them and so the question is about what kind of space.” Cochrane said to him, the issue is less about whether the district needs more space and space that supports “high-level learn-

ing” than it is about the dollars and cents involved. “I think the questions come down to cost,” he said. “I get that. Funding is tight at a state level and we are also facing the changes in the federal tax code that limit the amount of property taxes people can deduct. So everyone is asking questions about what is the most fiscally sound way to proceed.” Cochrane, who will turn 59 in October, is leading a school district in the same community he came to 41 years ago as a teenager to attend Princeton University. In his time here, the stated goal of the district is not for children to attend an Ivy League college or go on to

lucrative careers, but that they lead “lives of joy and purpose.” Cochrane talked of a “cultural shift” and spoke of “risk-taking” and “innovation.” That runs the gamut from schedule changes to other changes in the classroom. “I would like to believe I’ve made an imprint through bringing people together around a vision for our kids and our community,” he said. “It probably takes five years for the changes to really happen. It’s like steering an aircraft carrier...you have start the turn 10 miles before you actually make the turn. We’re in the midst of making that turn.”

According to a recent study, dentures have been linked with weaker muscles and joints. Researchers made their findings after analyzing the health of 1,800 Americans aged 50 years and older. While the researchers who conducted the study are not entirely sure why this association exists, they believe that denture wearers may tend to avoid foods that provide the nutrients needed to produce strong muscles and joints. Of course, dentures provide a cost-effective remedy for missing teeth, but their bite force is considerably less than that of natural teeth. In order to derive the maximum benefit from wearing dentures, patients should be sure to schedule regular checkups that alleviate any fitting problems and discomfort that might make them avoid nutrient-rich foods. Dentistry is an investment in the most important thing you possess—your body. And

like any good investment, it will require some expenditure of time and effort. We can think of no better investment than one that will give you many years of comfort, better health, and a more youthful, pleasant appearance.

For the 2018-19 school year, the district hired 29 new teachers, nine of whom are racial minorities.

Firm Continued from Page 1A project. It designed the practice facility for the Philadelphia Eagles, the headquarters for the NCAA in Indianapolis and medals for the Pan-American games. For this project, the firm wanted to have furniture different from the other major tennis tournaments. “If you look at Wimbledon,” Strum said, “it looks like the umpire is precariously just sitting on a ladder and at any point he’s going to … fall over.” In thinking of design ideas, the firm took inspiration from the city the tournament calls home. The U.S. Open is played in Flushing Meadows, Queens, across the street from Citi Field, where the Mets play. “The city was always the backdrop to us,” Strum said. “And we thought it has to find its way into whatever we’re designing.” For example, the elevated chair where the umpire sits was meant to evoke New York skyscrapers, and the stairs on the chair hearken to fire escapes on brownstone buildings in the city. “We thought it was interesting to just take common elements, very familiar elements of New York, and see them in a new and exciting way,” Strum said.

The new versions also include a roughly three-and-a-half inch thick cushion, as the chair umpire has to sit through matches that can last several hours. The player’s chair was made wider, from around 18 inches to about 22 inches, and the arms were removed. “If you think about it, what other sport, when you’re sitting on the sidelines, has arm rests?” Strum said. “None.” The chair took inspiration from benches in Central Park. There are two seats on a bench raised off the floor, with room between the chairs for players to put their equipment. “We wanted to make sure whatever we’re doing,” Strum said, “it’s relying on being made really well and performing very well, just like the tournament itself.” So far, the changes are getting a thumb’s up. “We are thrilled with the way it looks,” Widmaier said. “It’s a much richer look, it’s a much less cluttered look. It almost looks like it’s been there forever.” Widmaier said he asked tennis star Rafael Nadal, the top ranked men’s player who was practicing, what he thought. “And he looked and (said), ‘Very nice, very nice.’ ”

BRUCE O’NEILL, 53 Bruce Andrew O’Neill, 53, of Lawrenceville, passed away August 25, 2018 in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. Bruce was born in Princeton, New Jersey to John (Jack) and Elizabeth (Betty) O’Neill on April 14, 1965. He went to St. Paul’s School in Princeton and graduated from West Windsor-Plainsboro High School in 1983 after his family moved to West Windsor. He continued his education at Mercer Community County College and graduated in 1985. In 1985 Bruce began working for his brother at Stephen J. O’Neill Painting and then in 1996 he went to work for the Borough of Princeton alongside his father, Jack. Bruce, Assistant Superintendent of Parking Operations, served the borough for 22 years, and combined with his father faithfully served the Princeton community for 66 years. Bruce was a loving son, brother, uncle and friend. Bruce loved to learn new things, and as a result he had many talents. He loved cooking, fly fishing (even making his own flies), wood working, caning, music (especially the Grateful Dead) and outdoor activities. Bruce was an avid cyclist for many years and was a former member of the Century Road Club of America. At one time he participated in the Anchor House Ride for Runaways, biking 500 miles for charity. His family and friends enjoyed going to see him race. He was a lifelong fan of Princeton University football, basketball and hockey. Over the years he enjoyed going to games with his family. Bruce loved baseball, playing for Post 76 Little League in his youth and later playing for the O’Neill Painting softball team at Mercer Park. Of course, we will always fondly remember him with his Yankees hat on, as he was a true Yankees enthusiast and fan. Bruce is preceded in death by his father and is survived by his mother Betty O’Neill, his brother Stephen J. O’Neill, his two nieces and their husbands, Devin Garcia and Joaquin Garcia and Morgan Barton and Michael Barton, and his grandnephew Tanner Barton. The funeral will be held 9:00 am on Friday, August 31, 2018 from the MatherHodge Funeral Home 40 Vandeventer Avenue, Princeton. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated 10:00 am at St. Paul’s Church 216 Nassau Street, Princeton. Burial will follow in the Princeton Cemetery.

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 in New Jersey. 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. Business entities that routinely travel in and out of the quarantine area are required to take, and pass, training regarding the Spotted Lanternfly that is supplied for free by the Pennsylvania Department of

Agriculture at http://bit.ly/2K92DdZ. New Jersey will accept and recognize the Pennsylvania permit. Those businesses that interact exclusively in New Jersey’s quarantine zone must comply with the details outlined in the quarantine order. The quarantine also allows access to property for Department, USDA, or USDA contracted agents where the Spotted Lanternfly is suspected or confirmed to evaluate and treat the property if necessary. 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 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. For more information about this insect go to https://www.state. nj.us/agricu lture/divisions/pi/prog/spotte dlanternfly.html

County announces project for amateur photographers

Mercer County invites you to submit your digital images to help the County create a collection of recent photographs that illustrate living, working and playing within its 12 municipalities. The county is looking for images that illustrate area heritage, economic vibrancy and cultural diversity and that include public buildings, historic sites, parks and events with or without people using those places. This is not a contest but an opportunity for amateur photographers who seek a broader audience for their work. The images could be used in editorial and commercial digital and print media promoting the County. The photographer’s credit line would appear in the media in which they appear, whenever possible. The county would have exclusive rights of the images and will not sell them. Participants must complete an agreement before submitting images. Instructions and requirements can be found online at ciephoto.com/PhotogDirex.pdf.

Boys’ soccer teams hope for continued success By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

As a freshman, Jack Callan was part of a Montgomery High boys’ soccer team that reached the Somerset County Tournament final and earned a share of the title. Now a senior, Callan feels like the current Cougar team can have the same sort of success. “We have a bunch of experience this year,” said Callan, a midfielder and one of the captains for Montgomery. “We have nine returning varsity players in the starting lineup and a few new guys. So we have some people who are giving us some different looks. “We definitely could have done better last year. We picked up some bad losses early but toward the end of the year we picked it up and won the conference for third year in row. There is one guy (goalkeeper Nick Millett) who has been with me on the varsity since freshman year and we’ve talked about going four-for-four with the conference.” Montgomery finished 9-8-1 last year and reached the second round of the Central Jersey Group IV tournament as well as capturing that third straight Skyland Conference Raritan Division crown. Callan and Millett are two of a large

group of seniors that includes returning players Mark Tattoli, Justin Hirsch, Lance DeSantis, Alex Marna, Justin Zhao, Omar Hassanin and David Young, as well as varsity newcomers Jason Knight, Sukhbir Singh and Vidit Kabra. “We are returning six starters along with seven others that have varsity experience,” said Montgomery coach Rickey Steeb, whose team opened the season on Sept. 4 against Phillipsburg. “The boys have been working extremely hard. One of our goals is to have a successful season and to get better every day.” In addition to the large senior class, the Montgomery roster also includes returning juniors Jace Orvos and Jonny Spiegler, as well as sophomores Ben Choi and Zach Oliu. Other newcomers to the varsity roster include juniors Alejandro Dorado, Leonardo Ribeiro and James Robson, sophomore Alex Hemans and freshman Giovanni Pugliese. to command the team and help more on the field with formations. “ The Cougars will play another challenging schedule, which includes out of conference games against Lawrence, Middletown North and Paul VI of Haddonfield. “We have a good schedule this year and a good opportunity to pick up (power)

James Muldowney, who led the team in assists last year, will continue to look to be dangerous out of the back.” The Raiders will open their season on Sept. 7 at Academy of New Church in Pennsylvania. Princeton Day School finished 10-7 a year ago. The Panthers will play at Germantown Academy on Sept. 5 in Pennsylvania.

Girls’ soccer programs optimistic about the 2018 season By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

Val Rodriguez feels that in order for the Princeton High girls’ soccer team to be successful on the field, the Little Tigers need to come together off the field. “Chemistry is our top priority,” the Princeton coach said. “We are working on creating a tightknit faThe Little Tigers return a solid nucleus from the team that reached the second round of the Central Jersey, Group IV state sectional tournament a year ago.

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY CONCERTS Princeton University’s 2018-19 Concert Season Preview Anniversaries are often a time for looking back on all that has come before. And with 124 years of presenting the world’s greatest musicians, there can be no doubt that Princeton University Concerts has made an immeasurable impact in the history of classical music. But as we look ahead to our 125th season, we choose to look toward the future. Bobby McFerrin – Friday, Sept. 21 – 7:30 p.m. “Circlesongs” Bobby McFerrin is not so much a musician as he is an instrument of music itself, a pure distillation of sound into joy whose performances blur the lines between performer and audience, fusing the two into a joyous communion. Jerusalem String Quartet – Thursday, Oct. 11 – 8 p.m. with Pinchas Zukerman, Viola & Amanda Forsyth, Cello We’ll kick things off by bringing back the acclaimed Jerusalem String Quartet after a six-year hiatus – but they won’t be coming alone. They’ll be bringing their longtime friend and mentor, legendary violinist Pinchas Zukerman, and his wife, cellist Amanda Forsyth. Schubert String Quintet in C Major, D. 956 – Wednesday, Oct. 17 – 6 & 9 p.m. Takács String Quartet; David Requiro, Cello Yehudi Menuhin might have put it best when he described Franz Schubert’s music as “purity itself.” His sublime cello quintet, completed weeks before his death, is quite possibly one of the most perfectly written works in all of chamber music. Abigail Washburn, Banjo & Wu Fei, Guzheng – Thursday, November 8 – 7:30 p.m. “Beijing Meets Banjo” It might feel a bit strange to use the words ‘rockstar’ and ‘guzheng’ in the same sentence, but if anyone can take this 2,000-year-old Chinese stringed instrument and crank it up to 11, it would be Wu Fei. Richardson Chamber Players – Sunday, Nov. 11 – 3 p.m.

“From Rio to Brooklyn” Featuring mixed chamber works of George Gershwin, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Silvestre Revueltas, Astor Piazzolla, and Cuban composer Leo Brouwer. Simón Bolíver String Quartet – Sunday, Dec. 2 – 2 p.m. Exploring “Art & the Americas” -Panel discussion following the concert, moderated by Gustavo Dudamel As Music Director of the Simón Bolíver Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, Dudamel will bring together a string quartet made of the principals in the orchestra, to play a program that explores music’s ability to transcend geographical and political borders and unite us in our shared experiences. Martin Fröst, Clarinet & Henrik Måwe, Piano – Thursday, Dec. 13 – 8 p.m. When asked ‘what’s your favorite instrument to hear in a classical music recital?’ most people’s default response probably wouldn’t be ‘the clarinet.’ That is, until they’ve heard the sweeping sounds of Swedish clarinetist Martin Fröst. For his PUC debut he’s joined by fellow Swede Henrik Måwe for a sumptuous spread of Brahms, Poulenc, and Vivaldi/Telemann arrangements. Musicians from the Los Angeles Philharmonic – Monday, Jan. 7 – 7 p.m. Exploring “Art & Faith” -Panel discussion following the concert, moderated by Gustavo Dudamel Conductor Sir George Solti once said, “Mozart makes you believe in God,” and it’s hard to disagree after listening to the absolute perfection of his Clarinet Quintet. Messiaen Quartet for the End of Time – Wednesday, Feb. 6 – 6 & 9 p.m. Stefan Jackiw, Violin; Jay Campbell, Cello; Yoonah Kim, Clarinet; Conrad Tao, Piano No words can adequately capture the towering mystery of Oliver Messiaen’s “Quartet for the End of Time.” One can speak of the piece’s backstory, composed in a World War II concentration camp and inspired by the biblical depiction of an Angel of God heralding the end of days. Richardson Chamber Players – Sunday, Feb. 10 – 3 p.m. “Then & Now: Celebrating PUC’s

125th Anniversary” Featuring mixed chamber works by Camille Saint-Saëns, Johannes Brahms, Eric Nathan, Richard Strauss, and Anton Arensky written during PUC’s inaugural season (1894-1895) paired with works of today. Gabriel Kahane, Vocalist/Composer – Thursday, Feb. 14 – 7:30 p.m. “8980: Book of Travelers” In these divided times, music has an ever-more important role as a universal language of connection, and a reminder of our shared experience. Schubert Octet for Winds and Strings in F Major, D. 803 – Tuesday, Feb. 19 – 6 & 9 p.m. Brentano String Quartet; Anthony McGill, Clarinet; Jennifer Montone, Horn; Daniel Matsukawa, Bassoon; Leigh Mesh, Bass Listening to Franz Schubert’s Octet makes one feel that a reservoir of melody has been opened up, with torrents of tunefulness pouring from each measure. Steven Isserlis, Cello & Connie Shih, Piano – Thursday, Feb. 28 – 8 p.m. Steven Isserlis is – without question – one of the greatest cellists performing today. One of the only two living cellists in the Gramophone Hall of Fame, this is a man who never stops searching, reaching, and expanding his musical output. Joyce DiDonato – Sunday, March 10 – 3 p.m. “Songplay” Joyce DiDonato is one of the great communicators of our era – able to bridge genres and generations with her profound humanity, her musical vision, and her extraordinary voice. Alexander Melnikov, Piano & Andreas Staier, Piano – Thursday, March 14 – 8 p.m. Back in 2016, Alexander Melnikov came to PUC and played a 3-hour program of the complete preludes and fugues of Shostakovich that left the audience with their jaws squarely on the floor. Now he returns with good friend and fellow keyboard maven Andreas Staier to perform a gloriously intimate program of Shubert’s fourhand piano music. Patricia Kopatchinskaja, Violin &

Polina Leschenko, Piano – Thursday, March 28 – 8 p.m. This wild-child of the violin has exploded onto the international scene in recent years with an untamable energy and a farreaching approach to repertoire that runs from baroque and classical to commissions and reimagined modern masterpieces. Takács String Quartet- Marc-André Hamelin, Piano & John Feeny, Bass – Thursday, April 4 – 8 p.m. At this point, the Takás String Quartet are part of the PUC family, making their 20th appearance on the series this season. But this year will be different – not only because of their recently announced new second violinist Harumi Rhodes, but also because they’ll be bringing along the magnificent pianist Marc-André Hamelin to play the scales off of Schubert’s ‘Trout’ Quintet. Australian Chamber OrchestraRichard Tognetti, Artistic Director & Paul Lewis, Piano – Thursday, April 11 – 8 p.m. There’s something indescribable about watching the 18 players of the Australian Chamber Orchestra perform together – the way they move, stand, breather, and play as one, led by the indefatigable Richard Tognetti.

MCCARTER THEATRE McCarter Theatre in Princeton announced its 2018-19 Season Preview The series begins with Douglas McGrath’s world premiere adaptation of The Age of Innocence, Edith Wharton’s classic gilded age love story, directed by Doug Hughes. To follow is Dominique Morisseau’s incendiary Detroit ’67, directed by Jade King Carroll; the world premiere of Eleanor Burgess’ The Niceties, a riveting look at race and history directed by Kimberly Senior; the world premiere of Ken Ludwig’s The Gods of Comedy,directed by Kathleen Marshall; and David Hare’s Tony Award®-winning Skylight,directed by Emily Mann. THE AGE OF INNOCENCE – Sept. 7 – Oct. 7 Directed by Doug Hughes When is it wrong to love someone? Is love the highest ideal, or is kindness and duty to each other even greater than love? These are the questions asked by Edith Wharton in her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Set in New York in the Gilded Age, The Age of Innocence is both ravishingly

romantic and heartbreakingly unsentimental. Adapted from Wharton’s novel by Oscar® and Tony® nominee Douglas McGrath (Emma, Nicholas Nickleby) and directed by Tony Award® winner Doug Hughes (Junk, The Father on Broadway). DETROIT ‘67 – Oct. 9 – 28 Directed by Jade King Carroll It’s the summer of 1967 and Chelle and her brother Lank are running an unlicensed after-hours juke joint out of their basement. Risky business, especially during a brutal police crackdown that has set off riots throughout the city. When Lank offers refuge to a mysterious stranger, pentup emotions erupt, and they must navigate chaos from both outside and within. “Mind-blowing” says the Huffington Post; “Morisseau is a direct heir to Hansberry, Williams, and Wilson. You feel the pulse and vibrations of her characters.” A CHRISTMAS CAROL – Dec. 4 – 29 Directed by Adam Immerwahr Using David Thompson’s masterful adaptation, McCarter continues its annual

Ébène String Quartet – Thursday, May 2 – 8 p.m.

At the top of the list for ‘cool things from France’ is the Ébène String Quartet, perhaps the only group in history that can smoothly transition from Bartók to barbershop harmonies, Brahms to Bruce Springsteen. Here they’ll focus on Beethoven as part of their multi-year cycle of his complete string quartets… Check out Princeton University Concert’s 2018-19 season!

In this riveting two-person drama, a polite clash in perspectives explodes into an urgent and dangerous contemporary debate on race, history, and power. “Scintillating,” raves Peter Marks in the Washing-

ton Post. “The story of America, it seems, is destined to be wrestled over to the bitter end.” Kimberly Senior(Disgracedon Broadway) directs. Ken Ludwig’s THE GODS OF COMEDY – March 12–March 31, 2019 Directed by Kathleen Marshall A young Princeton Classics professor puts her career—and her love life—in peril, and calls on the gods of Ancient Greece to save her. When the gods who show up are the gods of comedy, things don’t go according to plan. Ken Ludwig, the two-time Olivier Award winning playwright who penned Lend Me a Tenor, Baskerville, and most recently, the thrilling adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express, returns with another world premiere comedic tour-de-force at McCarter.

GEORGE STREET PLAYHOUSE George Street Playhouse’s 2018-19 Season Preview George Street Playhouse has announced their 2018-19 season! The five-play season features a Tony Award-nominated play, a Laurents/Hatcher Foundation Award winner, a suspenseful courtroom drama, a heartwarming story in a strange land and the world premiere of a new musical. The Trial of Donna Caine – Oct. 16 – Nov. 11 Written by Walter Anderson Directed by David Saint When Marine Staff Sergeant Donna Caine is accused of a serious crime, highly respected attorney Emily Zola Ginsberg is convinced to take the case. Fighting for her client’s future, Ginsberg finds herself taking on the military establishment in order to expose the truth. Based on actual events, this riveting courtroom drama is filled with intrigue that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats. A Doll’s House, Part 2 – Nov. 22 – Dec. 23 Written by Lucas Hnath Directed by Betsy Aidem When we last saw Nora Helmer, she was slamming the door on life as she knew it &#8212; embarking on a brave, bold and shocking new life as a woman on her own. Fifteen years later, she’s returned to that door, with a high-stakes game of unfinished business on her mind. Featuring the same characters from Ibsen’s groundbreaking masterpiece, The New York Times called this Tony Award-nominated play “A smart, funny and utterly engrossing play,” and Time Out New York called it “modern in its language…and suspenseful in its plotting.” Little Girl Blue: The Nina Simone Musical – Jan. 29 – Feb. 24, 2019 Written by and starring Laiona Michelle Music by Nina Simone and others

Following her critically acclaimed performance in American Hero, Laiona Michelle returns to George Street Playhouse to play Nina Simone. This exuberant world premiere musical reveals a life in-between the black and white keys &#8212; a passionate journey from classical piano child prodigy to the High Priestess of Soul, told through the words and music of American icon Nina Simone. The Immigrant– March 12 – April 7, 2019 Written by Mark Harelik Russian-Jewish emigrant Haskell Harelik arrives at the port of Galveston, Texas in 1909 seeking refuge from his homeland. With only his banana cart in tow, Haskell finds compassion and friendship from an unlikely couple, and creates a pastoral life for his family. Broadway World said The Immigrant is “Timely and touching…don’t miss this extraordinary look at a family’s journey toward living the American dream.” Too Heavy for Your Pocket – April 23 – May 19, 2019 Written by Jirén Breon Holder Tennessee-born Holder takes us back to Nashville, in the summer of 1961 as the Freedom Riders embark on a courageous journey into the Deep South. When 20-year-old Bowzie Brandon gives up a life-changing college scholarship to join the movement, he’ll have to convince his loved ones – and himself – that shaping his country’s future might be worth jeopardizing his own. Recipient of the 2017 Laurents/Hatcher Foundation Award, The New York Times called the play “illuminating and moving.” Check out the George Street Playhouse’s 2018-19 season, 103 College Farm Road, New Brunswick.

Through these four bodies of work, Stella evolved printmaking projects of unprecedented scale and complexity that both transformed the artist’s visual language, through Sept. 23; Admission is free; artmuseum.princeton.edu; 609-258-3788.

Pam Hersh

William E. Schluter is fondly remembered

My phone buzzed with a news alert when I was about to go into Labyrinth Books on Nassau Street in Princeton to buy the book, “Soft Corruption.” I had to read the book before I interviewed the author, William E. Schluter, the former Republican lawmaker who had served in both houses of the New Jersey Legislature, and who grew up in Princeton, graduated from Princeton University (class of 1950), and raised his family in Pennington. My phone, however, delivered the very sad news that Bill Schluter had died on Monday, Aug. 6, 2018. His, “scheduler” decided that perhaps my interview with the 90-year-old would be superfluous, considering the volumes of words and effusive praise already spoken and written about New Jersey’s Super Hero of Ethics. Bill Schluter spent his entire life not just railing against acts of (mostly) legal “soft” political corruption among elected officials in government, but more importantly trying to do something about it. He authored pioneering laws regulating lobbying and campaign finance, was chairman of the Citizens Clean Elections Commission, and served on the State Ethics Commission. He defined soft corruption as unethical – but for the most part, legal – “transgressions carried out in the quest for political power or personal benefit, achieving results that work against the public interest.” Like a true super hero, he never lost sight of his mission and fought with his sword of words and legislative actions un-

Ingrid was one of the friends he thanked Ingrid pointed out that Bill Schluter’s in the “acknowledgement” portion of the passion for reform never devolved into book. Their friendship was evident, when denigrating or bullying behavior. His focus she led a conversation with Bill Schluter at was on reforming the system. Furthermore,

she said, he knew how to listen. “I always had heard about Bill Schulter,” she said. “He ran in our district, and simply as a constituent, I watched him and read about him for many years. But it was when I started at Eagleton in 1996 that I had the opportunity to talk with him on a regular basis. I learned so much from him, but I was honored to find that he was genuinely interested in listening to me and getting the perspective of a lifelong Democrat. Politics didn’t matter, people mattered.” Ingrid seems to be an appropriate disciple of Bill’s ethics doctrine. She is a founder and current board chair of NJ Spotlight; a founder and board member of NJ Future; a member of the NJ AARP Advocacy Committee; and a member of Trenton Mayor Reed Gusciora’s Transition Committee. In the past, she served on New Jersey’s Help America Vote Act (HAVA) committee on election reform and chaired the Local Government Ethics Reform Task Force in the Corzine and Christie administration. Most recently, Ingrid and her husband, former Princeton Borough Mayor Marvin Reed, were recognized for their decades of working on behalf of the public interest rather than their own interest with the receipt of the Leslie “Bud” Vivian Community Service Award, administered by the Princeton Area Community Foundation.

Thank you, Marvin and Ingrid, for choosing a life of public service and carrying out your responsibilities in accordance with the Schluter principles. Perhaps the best way to thank them is by reading “Soft Corruption”– which I just did, and giving it your children and grandchildren – which I just did.

Dr. Anish A. Sheth, M.D.

Treating Crohn’s Disease Can Reduce Risk for Complications Crohn’s disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that affects more than half a million people in the United States, according to the National Institutes of Health. Often beginning gradually, Crohn’s can become worse over time and cause serious health complications. At the Center for Digestive Health at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center, patients with Crohn’s disease and other common and complex gastrointestinal disorders have access to high-quality screening, testing and treatment. Inflammation and Irritation A chronic disease, Crohn’s causes inflammation and irritation in your digestive tract. Most commonly, Crohn’s affects your small intestine and the beginning of your large intestine, but it can affect any part of the digestive tract, including your mouth and your anus. While doctors are unsure what exactly

• Intestinal obstruction. Inflammation from Crohn’s can cause the wall of your intestines to thicken and narrow, which can lead to a partial or complete blockage of your bowels. • A gastrointestinal fistula is an abnormal opening in your digestive tract that can cause fluids to seep through the lining of your intestines and result in infection. • Painful, swollen pus-filled pockets of infection in your digestive tract can be caused by inflammation associated with Crohn’s. • Anal fissures. Small tears in your anus may case itching, pain or bleeding. • Ulcers or open sores can occur anywhere along your digestive tract, including your mouth and intestines. • Crohn’s can prevent your body from getting the vitamins, minerals and nutrients it needs to stay healthy.

Continued from Page 22B • Inflammation in other areas of your body, such as your joints, eyes and skin. Additionally, if Crohn’s occurs in your large intestine, you may be more likely to develop colon cancer. Diagnosis and Treatment Diagnosing Crohn’s disease involves a combination of tests including a physical exam, lab tests and imaging tests such as X-rays and CT scans to look for inflammation. If your doctor suspects the problem is in the small intestine, a video capsule endoscopy may be recommended, allowing your doctor to see inside your digestive tract through a tiny camera contained in a small capsule you can swallow. Video capsule endoscopy, offered at PMC’s Center for Digestive Health, does not require anesthesia, and patients are able to leave the doctor’s office after swallowing the capsule. As the capsule makes it way through the digestive tract, the camera records and transmits images to a small receiver device that you wear. When the recording is finished, your doctor can download and review the images. The camera leaves your body through a bowel movement and can be safely flushed down the toilet. In cases where the large intestine is affected, a colonoscopy is typically required

to confirm the diagnosis. Because colon cancer is a complication of Crohn’s, people with Crohn’s should talk to their doctor about how often they should have a colonoscopy. When detected early, colon cancer can often be cured. Treatment for Crohn’s depends on its severity and may include medication, bowel rest, surgery or a combination of all three. For people with mild symptoms, medications can help decrease inflammation and prevent flare-ups. For people with more severe symptoms, surgery is often necessary to treat Crohn’s. In fact, according to the NIH, one study found that 60 percent of people had surgery within 20 years of having Crohn’s disease. Though Crohn’s disease a chronic disease that cannot be cured, with the proper diagnosis and treatment it can be managed to alleviate symptoms, with periods of remission that can last for years.

. Where did you grow up? A. I am a New Jersey resident my whole life. Born in Red Bank and raised in Middletown, after college my wife and I moved to central New Jersey where we have been for almost 40 years.

. What do you like most about living in this area? A. There is something for everyone in the greater Princeton area. Personally, I enjoy the outdoors (hiking, fishing, kayaking, biking, golfing). Mercer County’s commitment to the space devoted to parks, trails and waterways make for an exceptional quality of life people who enjoy outdoor activities.

. What is your specialty in real estate? A. Several years ago I earned the SRES® (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) designation. Baby boomers like me often are dealing not only their own futures regarding planning for retirement and real estate needs, but that of

their parents and children. The SRES course provided me with all of the tools to help me help seniors who are not sure where to begin. While “aging in place” is preferred, there may come a time when it is no longer a choice. In many cases baby boomers have parents and children with special needs. I have an excellent network of professionals in place to help them make the best choices.

. What separates you from your competition? A. My marketing communications background and skills enable me to better position and present my clients properties and help define where the prospective buyers will be coming from, thus maximizing how every marketing dollar is spent to target prospective buyers. On the buy side, I am very straight with my clients about the pros and cons of properties they are considering.

Q Q

. What did you do before real estate? A. I was Owner/President of a marketing communications company for 18 years.

. What is the most challenging/gratifying aspect of what you do? A. Helping people who need the most help. Firsttime home buyers and Seniors seem to have the most needs. First time home buyers have many questions every step of the way, and I am happy to lead them. Seniors often do not have a spouse or children living locally to help with a move, so you become family. Trust is a huge part of any transaction, especially when you are dealing with Seniors.
