Donor anonymously contributes to Princeton public schools

By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

Aiming to help close the digital divide and help with childcare costs, an anonymous donor has contributed $249,000 to the Princeton Public Schools, Interim Superintendent of Schools Barry Galasso told the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education at its Sept. 9 meeting.

Galasso said the donor’s contribution will provide Internet access to 175 families and provide “hot spots” for families that may be unable to connect directly to the Internet. The families will be given unlimited Internet access through Comcast and T-Mobile at a discounted rate, whose costs will be covered by the school district.

The families will be given one year of unlimited connectivity to the internet providers so the students may participate in remote learning, Galasso said. The “hot

spots” are in lieu of cable connections, since cable providers may not be able to “touch” every home in Princeton because of infrastructure issues, he said.

The anonymous donor also has contributed money to provide for 60 scholarships for childcare at the Princeton YMCA and 30 scholarships at the Princeton YWCA, Galasso said. This will enable parents who cannot work from home to go back to work without worrying about childcare costs, he said.

The donor’s contributions to provide childcare scholarships “will make a significant difference” in the children’s lives and in the lives of their families, Galasso said.

Providing access to the internet also will make a difference to them, he added.

Meanwhile, the Princeton Public Schools opened Sept. 14 with remote learning, with the exception of two pre-kindergarten classes that

began full-time, in-person learning with the district’s contracted private provider – the Burke Foundation Child Development Center at the Princeton YWCA. Although school district officials would like to return to inperson learning as soon as possible, the district’s re-opening plan calls for elementary school students and special education students to begin a hybrid schedule Oct. 12, depending on circumstances.

Under the hybrid model, the elementary school students will be divided into two groups. The days that they attend school will differ, but each group will attend school two days per week and learn remotely three days per week.

Middle school and high school students will begin in-person instruction Oct. 19, depending on the circumstances. As with the elementary school students, they will be divided into two groups and attend

school in person. Each group will attend school four days per week and learn remotely for the next six days. The weeks that they attend will differ.

Parents may also choose to continue with remote learning for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.

When the students are welcomed back into the schools, they will be required to wear face masks.

Cloth masks are encouraged, but the district will provide masks for students who have forgotten them or who need an extra mask during the school day.

Classrooms will be set up to maintain social distancing, including placing desks 6 feet apart from each other. Hand washing will be stressed, and there will be gallonsized pumps of gel sanitizers in each classroom for hand sanitizing.

A sanitizer spray will be provided in each classroom for use on high-

touch areas.

The district also is emphasizing enhanced cleaning of hightouch surfaces, such as desks, door handles and bathrooms. Hand blowers have been replaced in the bathrooms with “no-touch” paper towel dispensers, and the toilets have been modified for “touchless” flushing.

School district officials also are committed to improving the ventilation and filtration systems in the school because COVID-19 is airborne. There are new heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in four of the schools.

The district is installing ionization devices and making HVAC improvements, including using MERV 13 filters when possible.

It has checked all existing HVAC operating systems in the schools that did not receive new classroom HVAC systems under the school district’s bond referendum.

Princeton University presents East Garage development project to SPRAB

By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer

SUBSCRIBE 732-254-7004

Princeton’s Site Plan Review Advisory Board (SPRAB) has now reviewed the first major site plan application for Princeton University’s East Campus Entry project.

The plans reviewed and presented on Sept. 9 focused on the East Campus Garage set to be built on the East Campus project site. The approximately 500,000-square-foot six tier garage will replace existing surface parking spots in the East Campus area and have the capacity for 1,552 parking spaces.

Princeton will be reassigning faculty and staff who have been parking in Lot 21 to vacant locations within the campus parking system, as the university makes the transition from the surface parking lot being utilized (Lot 21) to the future construction of the garage structure, which is bounded to the south by Faculty Road.

“We have vacancies in the west garage, vacancies in the north garage, some vacancies on the small lots on Ivy and Western Way,” said Kim Jackson, director of Transportation and Parking Services at Princeton University. “We will also be using the Butler Track street for additional parking, especially for events that may occur. We have calculated that we will be able to accommodate everyone in our parking system with ease.”

When completed, the garage will be accessed from both Jadwin Drive and newly created Garage Drive, with a third access point directly to FitzRandolph Road to be used during peak periods or for events.

“There are two primary entrances and exits at the northeast corner of the structure in and out, also at the southwest corner in and out. There is also a controlled exit from the southeast corner that would be used for events or as needed,” Princeton University architect Ron McCoy said.

The parking will accommodate visitors, faculty, staff and graduate students on the six levels, five above the ground.

“Earlier this year, Princeton Uni-

versity appeared before the planning board with a concept presentation for what we refer to as the East Campus. It is essentially the property east of the university stadium,” said attorney Christopher DeGrezia, of law firm Faegre Drinker Biddle and Reath, representing Princeton University. “In January, we were before the planning board to discuss this gateway area and how our vision for the east campus would be developed. We talked about we would be coming in with site plans of various components.”

McCoy stated that the garage’s estimated completion would be in the summer of 2022, if all goes well.

“It is a very important part of the east campus because it puts a lot of the necessary infrastructure in place and circulation improvements and parking availability early on in the process,” DeGrezia said. “So, we can do a nice, organized and orderly development of the campus.”

The design of the garage includes dedicated access to Tiger Transit service, an indoor waiting room and bus lay-by lane on newly created Garage Drive; a covered bike storage facility for privately owned bicycles and dedicated space for University’s Bike Share Program; 64 electric vehicle charging stations; and facilities for future rooftop solar installation, according to application documents. “[There will be] 108 total spaces for bicycle parking and space for the bike sharing program,” McCoy said.

The garage transit infrastructure connects to not only TigerTransit, but bicycle networks and pedestrian

paths in the East Campus area.

The garage project site is also bounded to the north by athletic fields and the existing FitzRandolph Observatory. The observatory will be demolished as part of the overall East Campus Entry project.

The FitzRandolph Observatory, which has not been in use since the 1990s, has been used for storage since that time by the university.

The East Campus Entry devel-

opment project is part of the university’s 2026 Campus Master Plan.

The concept idea for proposed projects on the site were presented to the Princeton Planning Board at a Jan. 9.

The concept plan that was reviewed earlier this year centered around the project site, which is bordered to the north by Western Way, to the west by Princeton Stadium, to the south by Faculty Road, and to the east by Broadmead Street.

The location currently has athletic fields, surface parking lots, the FitzRandolph Observatory and academic support buildings.

The idea for the East Campus entry project site is to build other athletic facilities such as a new soccer stadium, the new East Campus Parking Garage, and a geo-exchange utility facility system (reduces HVAC energy use and carbon footprint) with wells.

Princeton school board, support staff settle one-year contract

By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

Princeton Public Schools support staff – from maintenance and facilities personnel to secretaries and classroom aides – are in line for a 2.99% salary increase, under the terms of a one-year contract approved by the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education.

The school board unanimously approved the one-year contract between the school district and the Princeton Regional Educational Support Staff Association, which runs from July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2021, at its Sept. 9 meeting.

Board member Dafna Kendal, who announced the agreement between the board and the union, acknowledged that the support staff’s work is “vital for our students.”

“It is so important that we begin

the school year with our employees knowing we wanted to have them under contract. We wouldn’t be anything without our staff,” Kendal sad.

Union representatives Ashante Thompson and Eric Karch thanked the members of the negotiations teams that represented the board and the union for their hard work. It took many hours to reach the agreement, Thompson said, adding that “we are happy.”

“It is a nice, smooth transition.

We are very excited,” Karch said.

Under the contract, the starting salary for a custodian is $28,205 and reaches a maximum of $68,708. A utility maintenance worker begins at $35,773 and tops out at $77,460. A carpenter-electrical-mechanic technician’s salary begins at $42,662 and reaches a top salary of $85,250.

A clerk typist-receptionist’s sal-

ary starts at $27,165 and tops out at $48,531. An executive secretary’s salary range is $43,906 to $91,508.

An administrative secretary starts at $37,444 and reaches $72,206, while an administrative secretary at the middle school and high school has a salary range of $38,358 to $75,728.

A senior bookkeeper will be paid between $35,805 and $77,122. A purchasing agent-technical support assistant will have a starting salary of $36,359 and a maximum of $79,888.

Full-time instructional aides will start at $21,153 and may earn up to $54,312. Full-time aides who are assigned to students who are physically challenged and who require medical or sanitary assistance and aides who work in classes for autistic children receive a $6,000 stipend.

Part-time instructional aides are

paid $16.78 per hour if they are hired from outside of the school district, and $18.50 if they are hired from within the district. They earn a stipend of $4,200 if they are assigned to students who are physically challenged and who require medical or sanitary assistance, and who work in classes with autistic children.

Playground, cafeteria, library and transportation part-time aides are paid $12.42 per hour.

Full-time Princeton Regional Educational Support Staff Association employees receive longevity pay that starts at $800 when they reach 12 years of service, and peaks at $2,400 after 30 or more years of service to the Princeton Public Schools.

Innovative Surgical Technique Can Restore Sensation After Mastectomy

R

econstructive surgery after a mastectomy to treat breast cancer is increasingly common among women in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society.

With the rebuilding of the shape and look of their breast, many women regain their self-image, self-confidence, and quality of life after cancer treatment.

Yet until recently, breast reconstruction surgery could not restore sensation, leaving women with a numb breast for the rest of their lives.

Today, however, patients at Penn Medicine Princeton Health have the option of reconstructive surgery that uses their own to tissue to recreate the breast and reconnects the nerves that supply sensation, helping women to look and feel more like themselves.

Alternative to Implants The American Cancer Society estimates that more than 276,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women throughout the United States this year.

Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer in American women, second only to several types of skin cancer.

Many women will choose to undergo some form of mastectomy – the surgical removal of the breast – as part of their treatment program and will opt for reconstructive surgery.

While the most common form of reconstructive surgery uses artificial breast implants, women seeking an al-

ternative have the option of a procedure called the Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap (DIEP) or free flap procedure, which uses the patient’s own living tissue to replace the breast tissue removed in a mastectomy.

During the procedure, a flap of tissue is removed from the abdomen similar to the area removed during a tummy tuck, and that flap is shaped to recreate the breast. The flap contains skin, fat, and blood vessels that bring healthy tissue and blood supply to the affected area.

Little or no muscle is taken from the abdomen, and by using the patient’s own tissue, the reconstructed breast incorporates naturally with surrounding tissue.

Restoring Sensation Surgeons performing the free flap procedure may also use an innovative surgical technique that can restore sensation to the breast tissue.

This technique, a nerve graft, reconnects one of the nerves that supply sensation to the chest to one of the sensory nerves in the free flap tissue.

Once the nerve has regenerated, which typically takes between nine months and a year, patients may experience the return of some degree of sensation in the new breast.

It is important to note that patients who have had the nerve graft procedure will require an anesthetic during nipple reconstruction because they will feel some sensation and pain. Most nipple reconstruction procedures occur between six months and one year after breast recon-

Notice of Vote-by-Mail Election November 3, 2020 General Election The November 3, 2020 General Election will be conducted primarily via vote-by-mail ballots, which will be sent to all “Active” registered voters without the need for an application to receive a vote-by-mail ballot.

P.L. 2020, c. 72 requires you to sign the certification affixed to the margin of the flap on the inner envelope of the ballot notwithstanding the fact that you may not have applied for this ballot, but instead received this ballot automatically.

You will be provided a postage paid envelope for the return of your ballot through the United States Postal Service. You are not required to attach a stamp. You may also choose to deposit your ballot in one of the secure ballot drop boxes located throughout the county, return your ballot in-person to your County Board of Elections, or deliver your ballot to your assigned polling place on Election Day. Please contact your Board of Elections at 609-9896522 or www.mercercounty.org/boards-commissions/board-ofelections for convenient ballot drop box locations.

Only you, the voter, can bring your ballot to your polling place on Election Day. If another person will be mailing your ballot, bringing it to a secure ballot drop box, or delivering it to the county Board of Elections, MAKE CERTAIN THAT PERSON COMPLETES THE “BEARER PORTION”ONTHE ENVELOPEADDRESSED TO THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS BEFORE THE BALLOT IS TAKEN FROMYOU. No person who is a candidate in this election is permitted to serve as a bearer. No person is permitted to serve as a bearer for more than three qualified voters in an election. IT IS AGAINST THE LAW FOR ANYONE EXCEPT YOU, THE VOTER, TO MAIL OR TRANSPORT YOUR BALLOT UNLESS THE OUTER ENVELOPE IS SEALED AND THE “BEARER PORTION” IS COMPLETED. A PERSON MAY BE FINED AND IMPRISONED AND MAY ALSO LOSE THE RIGHT TO VOTE UNTIL RESTORED BY LAW if that person attempts to vote fraudulently by mail-in ballot, prevents the voting of a legal voter, certifies falsely any information, interferes with a person’s secrecy of voting, tampers with ballots or election documents or helps another person to do so.

struction surgery.

While a longer and more complex surgery, a free flap procedure with the nerve graft leaves patients with a natural looking and feeling breast, as the tissue will change as the body changes.

Natural Looking and Feeling Studies have shown that the risk of infection, hospital readmission and future revision surgeries are reduced with the free flap procedure. Additionally, improved blood supply provided by the transferred tissues also helps the healthy tissue respond better to the effects of radiation treatments.

Free flap reconstruction can also reduce future visits to the doctor, and a patient can have the procedure at the same time as their mastectomy or as a delayed procedure any time after a mastectomy. Patients who have had prior breast implant-based reconstruction and are not fully satisfied are also candidates for the flap procedure.

The procedure is well tolerated by many patients. Generally, if a patient is approved to undergo anesthesia, they can be cleared for the flap procedure. Any patient undergoing the free flap procedure is a candidate for the nerve graft.

The free flap nerve graft procedure is part of the comprehensive breast reconstruction program at Penn Medicine Princeton Health. Federal law mandates that all insurances must cover any post-mastectomy breast reconstruction.

Highly Personal Decision The decision to have breast reconstruction surgery is highly personal.

If you are considering this procedure, talk with your doctor and with a plastic surgeon that is experienced in breast reconstruction prior to your mastectomy so you can understand all of your options.

Together with your doctors, you can plan the best treatment approach to meet your unique goals.

SHAPE SHIFTING

When teeth are irregularly shaped, slightly rotated, chipped, uneven, overlapping, or elongated, patients may assume the answer rests with orthodontic treatment. However, in a great many cases of the examples previously mentioned, teeth can be fixed with one of the quickest, least expensive, and conservative treatments in the dentist’s repertoire.

“Tooth recontouring” (or “shaping”) simply involves removing small portions of tooth enamel with the goal of changing the tooth’s length, shape, or surface.

All it takes is the skillful use of a sanding instrument that abrades, smooths, and polishes problematic features of a tooth. Once the tooth is deemed healthy enough (with an x-ray) to undergo treatment, tooth reshaping can be accomplished in minutes.

We will be glad to discuss tooth contouring and other

available options of keeping your smile a beautiful, happy one. We believe in an informed patient, and we promise to provide you with information regarding all aspects of your dental care. You can always count on our experienced, honest recommendation for the treatment best suited to your dental needs. Here at Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman, our goals are the same as yours—a healthy mouth and a brilliant smile. Call 609924-8300 for an appointment.

“Our commitment is to relationships of partnership, respect, and appreciation.”

“We offer cosmetic and family dentistry as well as Zoom!® and Invisalign®.”

Please e-mail your questions or comments to: drjamescally@yahoo.com P.S. Tooth recontouring is painless and requires no anesthetic.

extremely well making for a smooth yet powerful ride.

The inline 6-cylinder turbo diesel puts out an impressive 277 horsepower, which I found was more than enough to get it up and down the interstate impressively and do aggressive passing or lane changing maneuvers.

But perhaps the biggest advantage of the turbo diesel Silverado is in its economy. While most of the regular fuel engines that Chevy offers for the Silverado get an average of about 17 miles per gallon. This turbo diesel blows that away.

According to the Department of Transportation EPA estimates, the turbo diesel Silverado averages an impressive 25 miles per gallon – 23 in city driving and 29 on the highway.

The EPA also estimates that this Silverado will cost you about $1,900 per year in fuel costs as it uses about 4 gallons per every 100 miles.

The overall appearance of the Silverado has a tough, aggressive stance and look, especially with the Z71 off road package that my tester was equipped with.

Inside, the cabin is very spacious and comfortable and not overly opulent so it

still has a somewhat utilitarian feel to it even though this heavily optioned rig carries a pricey $61,720 price tag.

The ride is typical of what one would expect from a large pickup. It is comfortable and powerful but not very athletic.

My wife always quips that it is like “driving a boat around.”

Well you can’t criticize the Silverado for what it isn’t. It obviously isn’t a sports car. It has a big sort of clunky feel to its ride and handling – but that is to be expected.

Where the Silverado excels beyond what any sports car can do is in its towing capacity and pay load.

This Silverado can tow up to 13,400 pounds and can haul a pay load of more than 2,000 pounds.

The base price of the Chevrolet Silverado Crew LTZ 4WD that I tested is $48,700.

My tester was equipped with $12,925 worth of options. When you add in the $1,595 for delivery and destination, the bottom line comes in at the $61,720 tag.

The options included $6,700 for the LTZ premium package, $2,495 for the upgraded Duramax turbo diesel engine, $2,125 for a technology package and $1,605 for the Z71 off road package.

The LTZ premium package includes: leather seats; rear sliding power window; power tailgate; heated front and second row seats; blue tooth; Apple Carplay; a Bose premium sound system and more.

The Z71 off road package includes: twin tube shocks; skid plates; hill descent control; dual exhaust with polished tips all weather mats and more.

In the government’s five-star safety crash test the Silverado earned an overall score of four stars. It got four stars for the frontal crash test, five stars for the side crash test and four stars on the rollover test.

The infotainment system in the Silverado is in line with the standard system that GM uses in most of its vehicles. It is easy to use and not all that complicated to learn.

My overall impression of this Silverado is positive. However, there is still a lot of competition in the pickup field with the Dodge Ram and Ford F-150 also offering impressive trucks as well.

The timeless tale of the monarch butterfly migration

t

D

o you ever read through old newspapers and notice that sometimes the topic and perspective are still . pretty current and fresh? So much has changed in the world in recent decades, obut our fascination with nature is timeless.

Please enjoy the following column writsten 34 years ago by Dave Moore, the former executive director of the New Jersey Conservation Foundation, with a few edits dto reflect more recent research and undergstanding: Ever notice those bright orange and black butterflies that fly purposefully 0 through our yards and sometimes cluster e overnight in trees? They are monarch butterflies, and their flight is purposeful: They .are migrating south for the winter.

The monarch butterfly migrates all the way to the mountains of central Mexico, eoften from as far as New Jersey, New England or nearby Canada. This is one of the emost amazing migration stories in nature; eone in which the route has been partially ,realized by naturalists for a long time, but fully understood only a decade ago with the discovery of the long-sought wintering :place of the monarchs.

Researchers are still adding to the story.

For example, it was at first thought that the d same butterflies returned to New Jersey a a year after their southward migration. It’s now realized that it’s the grandchildren – or even the great-great-great-great grandchilldren – who come back to the northeast.

Science is still a long way from learning how the butterflies have managed to arrive y at the same small area of Mexico over mill lions of years. But they have, and during e their migrations they even congregate on certain trees at specific locations, year after year. These way-points in themselves are popular tourist attractions, as is the Mexican destination.

One butterfly tree of which I am aware stands in Island Beach State Park near .

Barnegat Lighthouse, and is decorated by o thousands of monarchs each autumn. When f science finally solves the riddle of the mone arch’s migration, I suppose a little more g magic will have gone out of our lives. n But the danger of lost magic is greater for another reason, and not just in terms of monarch migrations. Can you imagine a world without our common songbirds, or minus many of the larger birds that annu-

d

ally make long round trips south and north?

While we protect them up here, their habitats are being bulldozed and burned away in South America as many countries destroy forests to make way for new development.

The monarchs are lucky; Mexico has set aside their wintering place for tourist and scientific reasons. Not so with the birds.

There are so many plants and animals we know nothing about that are becoming extinct before we can really study them.

Fewer than a tenth of the plants, insects and animals on earth have been identified. The rate of extinction is speeding up due to people’s blind exploitation of the environment.

We must do much more to protect reserves where plants and animals can survive in the hope of someday revealing exciting secrets for medicines and foods to help us survive. We must also do a better job of regulating our own chemicals so they don’t do us and other life forms in.

Bugs and weeds don’t attract as much attention as whales and pandas, but they are equally important in the scheme of things.

Monarch butterflies feed only on milkweed, for example. If we lose the milkweed, we lose the butterfly. And by the way, monarchs have the ability to turn milkweed juice into a toxic substance that has taught predators to avoid them. Other butterflies have learned to mimic monarchs to get the same protection.

With all this loss of life-forms, and with our growing interest in genetic engineering, genetic diversity becomes more important, even as it’s being threatened. That means we must protect natural areas worldwide, protect native plants and animals, and learn more about the effects of our pesticides and other chemicals before it’s too late.

You have read about possible links between the herbicide Agent Orange and cancer. Agent Orange contains 2,4-D, a common herbicide. Recent studies point toward a connection between 2,4-D and three cancers in humans, including Hodgkin’s disease.

Given that everything is connected to everything else, we need to proceed carefully. Not only do we not know who lives in the world with us, but we don’t even know what the majority of chemical substances we manufacture are doing to them or us.

Back to Michele: Since Dave’s nature

column was written in September 1986, more research has been done on monarch butterfly migration, as well as on the harmful impacts of many chemical herbicides and pesticides, not just Agent Orange.

The annual journey of monarch butterflies still amazes. In Cape May, the New Jersey Audubon Society now monitors monarch butterflies each fall as they con-

Gas powered SUVs are killing us

S

UVS are the second largest cause of the global increase in emissions over the last decade. This is the conclusion of the International Energy Agency in 2019, as reported in The Guardian.

The emissions from the rising numbers of gas-powered SUVs in the US, Europe and China have exceeded those from shipping, aviation, heavy industry and trucks.

SUVs emit 14% more carbon dioxide (CO2) than small passenger cars. The levels of CO2 from these vehicles are equal to emissions from the UK and Netherlands combined.

The change-over from cars to SUVs began in the 1980s, when the automobile manufacturers discovered many drivers liked their size and height. The industry then lobbied lawmakers to classify SUVs as light trucks, allowing them to adhere to “less-stringent” fuel efficiency standards, thereby allowing greater emissions. The Trump administration, amid its many transgressions, has been working to rollback fuel efficiency standards – standards supported by some manufacturers but opposed by others.

The director of Ohio State University’s Center for Urban and Regional Analysis points out that their height, size, and weight, on average 3 tons, make SUVs “killing machines” when they collide with pedestrians, or bicyclists, or even small cars. And they are terribly inefficient for running errands such as buying groceries.

And yet SUVs are forecast to make up half of all car sales this year for the first time.

Electric vehicles, so far, account for only 1 out of every 100 vehicles sold in the U.S. Fortunately, in the Princeton area, electric cars – Teslas, BMWs, Nissans and some Ford models – have been purchased or leased by many drivers. Tesla, and soon others, it is to

be hoped, will be rolling out electric SUVs, along with a variety of electric passenger cars. The State of New Jersey offers rebates to those who buy or lease EVs. This summer’s heat, hurricanes and flooding, along with the ongoing fires ravaging Washington, Oregon and California, all attest to our changing climate, where many states are experiencing hotter and dryer conditions, while some such as Iowa have been ravaged by fierce rainstorms, obliterating crops.

Nearly 5 years ago most of the world’s countries committed to collectively responding to the climate crisis. Since that commitment, the world has seen the five hottest years on record. While a majority of those nations have not lived up to their promised emissions reductions, only our country among the world’s leaders, directed by our sad excuse for a president, has rejected that agreement.

Should Trump be re-elected by the outdated Electoral College, this nation and many around the world, along with their populations, will suffer further destruction from our unattended changing climates.

Europe has recognized the threat from gas-powered SUVs. There have been protests in Germany and calls in the UK for a ban on advertising gas-powered SUVs. Here, a report by regulators overseeing the nation’s commodities markets warns that the climate crisis threatens American financial markets.

But with the Trump administration doing nothing about the crisis – in fact helping to make it worse – it is to be hoped that automobile manufacturerss will act responsibly and switch over to electric SUVs, and that states will support the purchasing and leasing of EVs.

COVID vulnerability with Bruce Traub

I

am old, I am elderly, I am in the COVID highrisk category. Numerous times during the past seven months, caring people looking out for my well-being have made sure to remind me of my age – a fact that I tried but failed to forget. At least my memory is in tact – in spite of my age.

With the wisdom of an old person and looking out for my own well being, I knew it was time to talk about my age and COVID vulnerability with my friend Bruce Traub, whom I have known for 16 years. Bruce worked with me at Princeton Hospital where he was a senior vice president and chief financial officer until he left in 2012 to become a partner and chief financial officer at Fitness and Wellness Professional Services (F&WPS), which owns and operates nine hospital-affiliated fitness centers in New Jersey and one in Pennsylvania. Since 2012, I had run into Bruce several times at the various F&W facilities (Plainsboro, Montgomery, Hamilton, New Brunswick).

I often would vary my locations depending upon the locations of my job-related meetings. He would be doing his secret shopper/undercover boss routine by working out at the various facilities in order to get a hands-on consumer experience.

The F&W New Jersey facilities, which had been

ria eptemer  

closed since March 16, re-opened for business on Sept. 8, and I was desperate to return. My outdoor walking/jogging routine was becoming increasingly hazardous. Early morning and evening walks now were in the dark. Daylight walks/jogs faced intrusions from hordes of unmasked young people huffing and puffing and talking and spitting as they sprinted past me – way too close for my comfort. My infamous tendency while jogging to lose myself in thought about the state of the world and the state of my soap opera life often resulted in my tripping over a variety of unseen objects and uneven surfaces.

And falling, like COVID, is something really bad for someone of my “advanced age.”

As eager as I was to embrace a treadmill or elliptical machine again, I was worried that going to the gym would be analogous to playing a game of Russian roulette. So I called Bruce to pepper him with questions.

The first thing I noted was his lack of whininess and complaining about the past several months. He was calmly philosophical and determined to pursue a thriving business under COVID-mandated conditions.

“It certainly was jolting to come to work on Monday, March 16, and told we could no longer make a living. I thought that there

Bruce Traub

had to be some sort of a mistake. ‘How can this happen?’ I kept saying. Well, it happened, and instead of worrying about the quality of the experience we were providing in the gyms, suddenly we were worried about managing our unraveling world: our 1,600 employees who were laid off; our landlords to whom we owed rent; and, of course, the 55,000 members whose memberships were placed on hold and therefore no

longer were providing a revenue stream. To add to the stress, we initially were given a July 4 opening date and then that was yanked,” Bruce said.

Gyms were portrayed as lethal petri dishes of COVID viruses, so Bruce and the leadership team knew that overcoming the negative image would be a marketing challenge equivalent to running an uphill marathon. Instead of dropping out of the race, F&WPS exercised its

determination to succeed.

“Because all of our facilities are joint ventures with hospitals (five different health systems in New Jersey), we have a huge responsibility to implement the COVID protection operations laid out for us by the state with unrelenting discipline and to go beyond the minimum. People come to us to get health and stay healthy – we have to get this right,” Bruce said. Everyone who walks into the facilities – employees and members – are screened (temperature), questioned, hand sanitized – each time they enter; all machines are six feet apart; capacity is limited to 25%; trainers continually clean machines; wipes are more plentiful than in a Lysol plant; hospital grade air filtration system (MERV-13 filters); trainers continually pacing the facility to watch for any protocol violations; classes take place, but registration is required and all participants are masked and positioned at a safe distance from one another.

“I think it is riskier to go into a supermarket than to come to one of our gyms,” Bruce said.

What about the health of the business, I asked Bruce.

“Some individuals have frozen/paused their membership or cancelled completely. But interestingly enough, we have made up for that with new memberships. Since reopening, we are selling memberships at a pace that we never expected. I think the pandemic

has made people focus on being healthy and are eager to get to the gym and work with our extremely wellqualified trainers (most have four-year college degrees and all have attained special national fitness training certification.

“I am optimistic that we will make all this work and get to a post-COVID place stronger than we were before COVID. All this has given me an opportunity to grow personally and professionally in unexpected ways. … It all builds character,” he said.

I would bet, however, that Bruce has had enough character building and would like to focus on muscle building.

YOUR TURN

Losing Your Loved One – Twice With the graying of America, more of us are at risk for Alzheimer’s, the cruel disease which robs us of our loved ones not once, but twice.

We knew long before the doctors knew that something terribly wrong was happening to our beloved wife and mother before neurologists diagnosed her with Alzheimer’s, the terminal disease that takes her away from us not only once but again in the months or years ahead.

It all began innocently enough eight years ago when she could no longer handle her computer and checkbook. Slowly it progressed to the point where our beloved wife and mother would come home to the wrong apartment and be lead to her own door by a kind neighbor. The disease played tricks on her. She became afraid to undress for bed before the TV, afraid that newscasters were spying on her. She lost our portable home phone which we found in her lingerie drawer. Our prized ivy plant she stuffed down the kitchen disposal unit.

Ever present was her frustration when she couldn’t finish a sentence or remember a word.

This accomplished woman whose poetry was published, who sold her oil paintings, and whose songs were broadcast – all while raising four children and traveling around the world with her journalist husband – now could no longer remember his name or even her own.

It was not her fault. In younger, healthy people, all sensations, movements, thoughts, memories and feelings are the result of signals that pass through billions of nerve cells, or neurons in the brain. Toxic chemicals cause plaques and tangles of neurons which lose their ability to communicate. And as neurons die, the brain shrinks, starting with the part most important to learning and memory. People begin to experience that memory loss, impaired decision making and language problems. As more neurons die, the patient loses the ability to think, make decisions, remember and function independently.

While deaths from other major causes have decreased dramatically, deaths from Alzheimer’s has increased 71% since 2000, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. It is the only cause of death in the top ten in America that cannot be prevented, cured or even slowed down.

The disease has no favorites. It attacks young and old, men or women, people of any ethnicity. Every 67 seconds, someone in the United States develops the disease.

Parkinson’s more often accompanies Alzheimer’s and now this beautiful woman, who taught our four children their first steps, can no longer walk herself or even stand.

And if all that wasn’t enough, she also contracted coronavirus, thanks to the rehab home which failed to properly quarantine 45 other patients with the disease. Happily, she recovered from this within a month, but her husband, who visited her daily, has still been prohibited from entering the home for the past six months.

I grieved for Venera (Vinnie) as she struggled with test after test by a litany of neurologists and endured clinical trial medications for months to no avail as she gradually slipped away from me.

I can’t begin to express the love and empathy I had for her when she fell and broke her hip one Easter morning. That operation was not to be her last. She came home on a walker but soon abandoned it for our bed.

She also began eating less of her meals until she lost 49 of her 138 pounds.

An ambulance transported her to the emergency room of a local hospital for the bad news. Not only was my dear wife losing her speech but doctors diagnosed her with a fistula. Her colon had invaded her bladder, causing a huge infection that took days of heavy doses of antibiotics to cure.

They wanted to perform a colostomy operation. A specialist convinced us she was strong enough to endure such a procedure and so we sweated out a four-hour operation and four hours more in the recovery room.

When they returned her to her bed by nightfall she was burdened with a colostomy bag and a feeding tube into her stomach.

Oh how we prayed for her. This genteel lady never complained. She was never angry with me or our children but only with herself. I believe she was aware of her erratic behavior but was unable to say what was wrong.

We selected a living care center that would tend to Vinnie’s specific needs. My precious wife has long since forgotten my name but knew who I was. Sometimes she had moments of clarity and would greet me with open arms and say “I love you.” Other times she would state clearly, “I have something to tell you” but again couldn’t tell me what it was. Otherwise she spoke gibberish.

It is heartbreaking when she cries and holds onto me when I must leave for my bus. I can’t sleep in my own bed without her in it. I get up nightly to sit in her favorite

chair and read her poetry or speak to her portraits. Yes, and sometimes I cry.

Perhaps the thing I miss most is sharing our memories together. When I lost my birth family, I missed sharing our memories with them. When I told this to Vinnie before her illness, she said “That’s alright, we’ll make new memories together.” We did indeed over our 69 years together, but now I am alone to re-live them.

No man has loved a woman more than I love my wife, not Romeo for Juliet, not Marc Antony for Cleopatra, nobody. I recently collaborated with Elizabeth Browning to tell Vinnie how much I love her. She can no longer read so I read this to her on her last birthday: “How do I love you? Let me count the ways. I love you to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach. I love you to the level of every day’s heartache when I must leave you. I love you freely, in sickness and in health, as I vowed to you when we were wed. I love you purely, from your 19th birthday to this special day, your 91st birthday. I love you with the breadth, smiles and tears of all of my life, and if God so chooses, I shall love you even more when he calls us home.”

I don’t know when we will lose her for the second and final time so I am spending as much time with her as I can. I don’t know what I will do when she passes. I can’t live very long without her. I can’t live without my soul. When I told this to my doctor at the Veterans Administration, she put me on suicide watch and gave me depression medication. I told her that wasn’t necessary for my religion prohibits such behavior. I also have the children I love and I’ll probably die of a broken heart anyway.

I already suffer from PTSD, thanks to the Japanese suicide planes attacking our ships in Admiral Halsey’s Third Fleet. I also suffer from asbestosis from my time on two battleships and a cruiser as a Petty OfficerRadarman in World War II. But I am resilient and almost immune to pain after seeing my shipmates die, after the mysterious death of my 42-year-old sister, and the death of my brother when he went down with the USS Arizona during the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. Nearly 3,000 sailors, Marines and airmen were killed on that one day.

But that’s nothing compared to the millions of Alzheimer’s patients earmarked for death by this dreaded disease. Will the government fund enough money for researchers to finally discover some medicines and treatments that actually work?

We are in a crisis mode with this disease.

We must find a cure for our parents, sons and daughters. Let us call our representatives and senators to learn what they are doing about this crisis. Let us tell our stories, shout out the urgent need for funding and focused research to provide meaningful options. And let’s not forget the caregivers suffering with their patients, providing the thankless work, sweat and tears to give their patients meaningful lives.

Princeton honors outgoing police chief

By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

It was a bittersweet moment for Police Chief Nicholas Sutter and the Princeton Council on Sept. 14, as municipal officials congratulated Sutter on his impending retirement and honored his tenure as the first police chief of the consolidated Princeton Police Department.

Sutter, whose retirement takes effect Oct. 1, joined the former Princeton Borough Police Department in 1995. He was named chief of the consolidated Princeton Police Department in 2014, which was created when the former Princeton Borough and the former Princeton Township and their respective police departments merged in 2013.

Mayor Liz Lempert praised Sutter for his role in leading the newly re-constituted Princeton Police Department through consolidation “as well as anyone could hope or imagine.” The values of the Princeton Police Department – respect and empathy – are a credit to Sutter and his leadership, she said.

Lempert presented Sutter with a mayoral proclamation in recognition of his 27 years as a police officer. It stated that “As a transformative leader, (Sutter) leaves behind a department that is more diverse, more community oriented, more progressive and better equipped to face today’s challenges and those of the future.”

Sutter also was presented with a proclamation from the State Legislature by state Senator Christopher “Kip” Bateman and Assemblymen Roy Freiman and Andrew Zwicker of the 16th Legislative District (Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Somerset).

Current and former Princeton Council members also weighed in on Sutter’s retirement, including former Princeton Council members Heather Howard and Lance Liverman. Both served as police commissioners during their tenure on the post-consolidation Princeton Council.

Howard reeled off a list of Sutter’s achievements within the Princeton Police Department, including his embrace of former President Barack Obama’s 21st century police reforms.

She also pointed to his work with the New Jersey chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union on police directives related to immigration, which clarified the role of local law enforcement and “went a long way toward building bridges” with Princeton’s Latinx community.

“At a time when nationally we have seen the proliferation of corrosive practices and the erosion of trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve, I am so proud of the police department’s groundbreaking work,” Howard said.

“The future of the Princeton Police Depart-

ment is bright because of Chief Sutter’s work to create this culture of service and respect,” she said.

Liverman said that no matter what the council asked of Sutter – from extra details in his monthly police reports to extra community protection and to creating a more diverse Police Department – “the chief was there.” Sutter exemplifies what a fine police officer and police chief should look like, he said.

On a personal note, Liverman said, Sutter was “there for me” when he was involved in a car crash that resulted in his being charged with driving while intoxicated. The accident did not occur in Princeton. Liverman praised Sutter for his fairness, kindness and loyalty, and added that Sutter deserved a rest.

Current Princeton Councilwoman Leticia Fraga said that “for every single word (that has been said about Sutter), I say ‘Ditto.’ “ Fraga recalled her first encounters with Sutter, when she served on a Human Services Commission subcommittee on immigration.

She said she was impressed with his heartfelt empathy for others, which has gone a long way toward building trust in the community.

Councilman Dwaine Williamson also praised Sutter. In these days and times when police departments are under more scrutiny, it’s nice to know that Sutter did not wait for protests to create a forward-looking Princeton Police Department, he said.

In response, Sutter thanked the Princeton Council and said he felt undeserving of the praise. It is getting more difficult each day as his last day as a police officer and police chief draws closer, he said. Princeton will always be in his heart, he said, noting that he has spent virtually all of his adult life and career in the town.

Sutter said his 27-year career as a police officer has been a lifelong journey.

“It has been a dream since my childhood.

I always wanted to be a police officer. When I first came to Princeton (as a police officer), I started having conversations with people who couldn’t understand that dream. I couldn’t understand how it wouldn’t be a dream for everyone,” he said.

Those conversations, Sutter said, led him to be “an example to those who didn’t look to the police as I did. That calling became stronger.

My love for the job is as strong today as it was years ago. My most cherished memories are of the people I met along the way and who influenced me.”

“In spite of how hard it is for me to leave, I have comfort knowing (the Princeton Police Department) is so ready to push ahead and achieve such greater things than they already have,” Sutter said.

Welcoming Week promotes inclusivity in the Princeton community

By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer

As Princeton continues with its annual Welcoming Week, things are a little different in the era of COVID-19.

This will be the fifth year Princeton has held the week which kicked off on Sept. 12 and has been completely virtual.

Welcoming Week is designed to connect residents of different backgrounds, nationalities and beliefs. The week will come to a close on Sept. 20.

Welcoming Week is part of national network from Welcoming America which promotes bringing together communities to build stronger connections through initiatives, programs and

live streamed events.

“Creating Home Together” is the national theme for the 2020 Welcoming Week, according to the Welcoming America website.

“The overarching goal of Welcoming Week is to celebrate the contributions of all residents in our community and to promote community and inclusivity among all of those who live in Princeton,” said Melissa Urias, director of Princeton’s Department of Human Services. “The events we’ve hosted for Welcoming Week are meant to be fun ways of creating community, but the idea should be achieved throughout the year, not simply for one week.”

The week is a collaboration

between Human Services and the Princeton Public Library along with other community partners.

The library is hosting Welcoming Week on their Engage Princeton website.

“Princeton has made a commitment to be a welcoming community, which means that we want to project that we are welcoming to new immigrants.

We are welcoming more broadly and want people to feel a sense of belonging,” Mayor Liz Lempert said. “The events are going to be different because it is virtual. I think that COVID-19 and all of the crises that have come with COVID I think has made all of us be more introspective about what it means to have a safe and

strong community.”

There are two initiatives taking place this week are: Recipe Sharing and Reflecting on Community.

Recipe Sharing connects residents with shareable recipes that individual would make to welcome someone into their home or to their neighborhood. Those participating are asked to share if there is story around the recipe; what makes it special to them and who shared the recipe to the participating resident, according the library.

The recipes will be shared on the Engage Princeton website.

Reflecting on Community allows for residents to write about the ways they are connecting

with others during 2020. Residents participating are asked if they have a wish for what will come out of this time of change and what would it be?

The written thoughts and responses will also be shared on the website.

“I hope the people that participate are able to feel a strong connection to one another. It has been really challenging for everyone, because we have not been able to do the normal things we would be doing to maintain and strength our community ties,” Lempert said. “Hopefully people will be able to feel a part of this larger community and have a sense of comfort from that.”
