Zoning Board hearing for Nassau Streeet property to occur in December By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer

The 20 Nassau St. application hearing before Princeton’s Zoning Board of Adjustment was postponed to December, due to problems with the notice for the Nov. 18 hearing. According to the Zoning Board Chair Steven Cohen, the notice was defective, resulting in the hearing having to be moved. The applicant will re-notice. The next scheduled meeting

for the Zoning Board occurs on Dec. 16 at 7:30 p.m. Application representatives are proposing the 20 Nassau St. office and retail building’s development into a new hotel. If the Nassau and Chambers Street property is developed into a hotel, it would be the third hotel in or around downtown Princeton; and compete with the Nassau Inn at Palmer Square and the Peacock Inn at Bayard Lane. The six-story office and retail building at the corner of Chambers Street was sold in 2019 to

GPNJ Owner, LLC., owned by Ben Weprin, the founder of AJ Capital Partners, an investment firm operating out of Chicago that develops hotel destinations across the country. Weprin also founded Graduate Hotels, a company that develops hotels in college towns around America. The building and property consists of more than 70,000 square feet and contained 13 stores and more than 100 office suites. The suites had various psychologist and counselor offices.

According to the application documents, the building would be converted into a 191-room hotel with retail uses and a restaurant on the main level. The wing of the building on Chambers Street would be replaced with a new six-story section of the hotel and main hotel entrance that would have access to parking on Chambers Street. The existing pedestrian entrance and connection from Nassau Street into the hotel was proposed as being maintained. The new building hotel would

add to Weprin’s Graduate Hotels chain of boutique hotels. Graduate Hotels operates more than 20 hotels in locations around the country. The project would also be seeking several variances. They include a D-4 variance for exceeding floor area ratio (FAR) and bulk variances for the proposed new construction. A parking variance was granted in 2018 to permit a change of use from retail to allow two food and drink uses on the site, according to application documents.

McCarter Theatre cancels live performances through June McCarter Theatre announced it will cancel all live performances through at least June 2021 because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. “We are so very grateful for the kind notes and generous support that we continue to receive every day. Your good wishes lift our spirits as we navigate these extraordinary times and patiently wait until we can safely welcome

you back into our spaces,” the staff wrote in a message on Nov. 12. “Throughout this pandemic, our goal has been to communicate with you as definitively as possible. In light of current public health recommendations, we believe it is wisest to cancel the live performances that we had planned to bring you from February through June 2021.

“We are continuing our conversations with artists — they are as excited as we are to resume performing in-person for you. We are also working to unveil a touchless ticketing experience so that you won’t have to worry about the handling of your credit card or tickets. Top-level cleanliness, smart social distancing and the exquisite joy of live performance will all be ready when

government guidelines change,” the message states. In the meantime, McCarter is offering virtual programming, such as the Adrienne Kennedy play festival through Feb. 21; and the new holiday offering, A Christmas Carol @HOME, where the magic of Dickens’ classic tale comes to life in a curated gift box.

Votes certified in Princeton elections Princeton Planning Board approves I look forward to our future and all of us 221-unit Thanet Circle development working together,” Freda said.

By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

Princeton voters have chosen Mark Freda to become the town’s second mayor since its consolidation in 2013, and also returned two incumbent Princeton Council members to serve on the governing body in the Nov. 3 general election. Freda received 10,735 votes and council members David Cohen and Leticia Fraga received 10,414 votes and 10,436 votes, respectively, in the final vote tally released Nov. 20 by the Mercer County Board of Elections. Voters cast 10,818 votes in the mayoral election, which included 83 votes for “personal choice,” or write-in candidates. A total of 21,000 votes were cast in the Princeton Council election, which included 150 “personal choice” votes. None of the candidates, who are all Democrats, faced opposition. The mayor’s term is for four years and the Princeton Council terms are for three years. Freda will succeed Mayor Liz Lempert, who did not seek re-election to a third term. She is the first mayor of the Municipality of Princeton, which was created in 2013 when the former Princeton Borough and the former Princeton Township consolidated. Freda served on the former Princeton Borough Council from 1986-99, including a stint as the Princeton Borough Council president. Freda grew up in Princeton and has volunteered with the Princeton Fire Department. He also has volunteered with the Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad, of which he is the president. Freda promised to work together with residents to address the challenges and issues as they arise. He pledged to be open and transparent in reaching decisions. “All of us are on the same team – the residents, the elected officials and the town staff – and our goals should all be the same.

Cohen, who was pleased to have been re-elected, said he does not want voters to think that he takes their support for granted. “I will always be happy to hear from residents about their concerns, or just to get to know each other better,” Cohen said. In his second term, Cohen said he plans to continue to focus on smart growth and to implement sustainable policies that enhance the livability and economic vitality of Princeton, while also ensuring that the benefits of good environmental policy are enjoyed by all residents. “What this means in practice is to advocate for good design and to reduce the carbon footprint of our affordable housing projects as they move forward,” he said. Making it safe to walk and ride a bicycle around town is another priority, Cohen said. Upgrading the town’s stormwater management capabilities to handle current and future levels of rainfall to prevent flooding is another of his goals for his next term, he said. Fraga also thanked voters for their vote of confidence in her by granting her a second term. She is proud of what she and her Princeton Council colleagues have accomplished in the past three years. Fraga said her goal has always been to see all residents flourish, and she is grateful to have been given the opportunity to continue that work by the voters. In addition to addressing the issues and initiatives that will come before the Princeton Council, Fraga said she will work to ensure that the Princeton Health Department and the Princeton Human Services Department have the resources they need to meet residents’ needs. “I will continue to work with members of our municipal boards, commissions and committees, as well as our many community partners, to seek community-driven solutions that uphold our share values, with a focus on equity, affordability, prosperity and inclusion,” Fraga said.

Center – along with other towns in New Jersey – for allegedly failing to provide its fair share of affordable housing. Planning Board members encouraged the applicant to install solar panels and more than six electric vehicle charging stations in the parking lots outside of the apartment buildings. Two electric vehicle charging stations are required in the parking lots. Electric vehicle charging stations will be included in the garages of the townhouses. Planning Board Chairman Louise Wilson said New Jersey requires greenhouse gas emissions to be reduced by 80% in 2050. Since it will mean switching from gasoline-powered cars to electric vehicles, it would save the applicant money by installing electrical conduits now instead of having to retrofit them later, she said. Attorney Peter Flannery, who represented Thanet Road Urban Renewal LLC, said it is not in the developer’s agreement with the town to install anything “above

The Princeton Planning Board gave its unanimous stamp of approval to a proposed 221-unit development on Thanet Circle, off Terhune Road, at a special meeting Nov. 5 – the second of two meetings to consider the application. The Planning Board approved Thanet Road Urban Renewal LLC’s application for the development, which will include 193 rental apartments and 28 townhouses on the 12.8-acre parcel. They will replace two vacant office buildings on the property. The development, which is being built by AvalonBay Communities, would be known as Avalon Princeton Thanet Circle. Of the 193 rental apartments, 11 would be set aside for affordable housing, including five units earmarked for residents with special needs. The housing development is intended to help Princeton meet its obligation to provide affordable housing. The town was sued by the nonprofit Fair Share Housing

Long-Term High Cholesterol Can Affect Your Long-Term Health

holesterol – the waxy substance found in your blood and produced naturally by your liver– is essential to building healthy cells. But high levels of the substance can lead to fatty deposits and blockages that make it difficult for blood to flow through your arteries. Over time, this reduced blood flow can cause damage throughout your body, and the longer it goes undetected and untreated, the more damage will be done. Yet once diagnosed, high cholesterol can usually be managed through lifestyle changes, medication, or a combination of both. A Silent Disease High cholesterol is considered a silent disease because it does not cause any outward symptoms. However as fatty deposits—also knowns as plaques— build up, it causes your arteries to narrow and harden, preventing blood from flowing freely and lessening the amount of oxygen and other nutrients delivered throughout your body. High cholesterol increases your risk for peripheral artery disease and can cause memory problems, nervous system disruptions, and even digestive problems. At the same time, pieces of plaque can break off sud-

Presented by James J. Cally, D.M.D. WHEN YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH TOOTH PAIN

Toothaches can seemingly come out of nowhere, which may mean it will be hours until you can get in to see your dentist. Without some kind of care, and especially when they hit you at night, toothaches can make sleep impossible and leave you facing a long night of pain and discomfort. However, there are a few solutions that may help you sleep and make the time pass easier. Over-thecounter pain medications such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen can be very effective. Rinsing your mouth with salt water and elevating your head with an extra pillow or two can help reduce swelling. Be sure to call your dentist first thing in the morning even if the pain has subsided. When pain interferes with the enjoyment of your life, making it impossible to sleep, talk, yawn, chew, and perform other simple daily acts of living, you don’t need to just accept it as the norm.

Turn instead to our office for a treatment plan for a pain-free future. Learn why others in our community make us the go-to place for comprehensive family dental care. Here at Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman, we are committed to delivering the most current state-of-theart care in a relaxed, friendly environment. Call 609-9248300. “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. While over-thecounter pain relief ointments containing benzocaine may not provide long- lasting relief, they may offer a long enough break from the pain for you to fall asleep or for your oral pain medication to kick in.

denly and travel throughout the bloodstream, potentially causing a blockage or clot. The longer high cholesterol goes untreated, the greater the risk for heart disease and stroke, two of the leading causes of death in the United States. Family History Signiﬁcant Risk Factor While high cholesterol is most commonly seen in adults 50 and older, an increasing number of people are developing the condition at a younger age. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 29 million American adults age 20 and older have high cholesterol, and an estimated 7 percent of children suffer from the condition. In addition to age, family history is a significant risk factor for high cholesterol. If you have an immediate family member who has high cholesterol, you’re more likely to have it too. Other risk factors include poor diet, obesity, lack of exercise, smoking, diabetes and high blood pressure. If you are concerned about your risk for high cholesterol, talk to your doctor about screening. The 70-70-70 Rule A simple blood test can determine if your cholesterol levels are high, and testing should be performed on a regular basis at the recommendation of your primary care physician. In general, the CDC recommends that most healthy people should have their cholesterol checked every 4-6 years and that children and adolescents should have their cholesterol checked at least once between ages 9-11 and again between ages 17-21. The basic rule for healthy cholesterol is 70-70-70. You want your LDL, which is sometimes called bad cholesterol, under 70; your HDL or good cholesterol at 70 or higher, and your triglycerides (a type of fat) under 70. If you are diagnosed with high cholesterol, there is a range of medications to help keep it within a healthy range and, as a result, help you maintain good cardiovascular health. Following a heart healthy lifestyle can also help

Initiatives and ideas to address climate change nationally As climate change becomes more pronounced – the warmest years on record have all been over the last several – societies and communities are discussing and trying different approaches. In Portland, Oregon, voters approved a 2018 ballot measure, The Clean Energy Fund. Denver, Colorado, voters recently approved a similar program. Presidentelect Joe Biden’s proposed, sweeping climate plan targets many of the causes of climate change, but notably, 40% of its clean energy investment will be directed to disadvantaged communities. The Portland program looks to invest in energy efficiency and renewable energy. It has funded small planning grants to help communities apply for larger grants. It will assist low-income Portland residents to finance green initiatives and job creation. The city is expecting in this coming year to provide $40-60 million for clean energy job training, weatherizing houses, and installing roof-top solar panels. In order to pay for these plans, the city has levied a 1% tax on larger businesses. Some of those businesses have objected that the tax is unfair and will not produce any of the promised improvements. The president of the Portland Business Alliance responded that while the alliance supports the goals of the Clean Energy Fund, it questions “who is paying for this and how they pay for it.” The alliance president pointed out that the definition of “large retailers” was so broad that retirement funds and garbage haulers were included. The city subsequently excluded those businesses.

But other groups, such as The Coalition of Communities of Color, saw the program as an economic recovery tool. Still others saw it as a rebalancing of programs that had previously benefited only affluent portions of the community. The city expects to offer its first $8.6 million climate justice grants next year. It is to be hoped that this initiative, and others like it around the country will help reduce emissions and the global warming they produce. The complexity of tackling climate change is evidenced in a number of ways beyond these local efforts. While carbon dioxide emissions have dropped nationally since switching from coal to natural gas has been widely adopted, a recent 2020 study found that methane leaks from the U.S. gas systems has countered many of those benefits. Although natural gas produces fewer emissions than coal, its heat-trapping properties of methane, when released into the atmosphere, are stronger than coal. The solution lies in reducing leaks, but with their sources in drilling, piping and refining, it is neither a simple nor cheap fix. And yet allowing climate change to continue will lead to much greater costs, in a number of ways. We, as a nation, largely recognize this and know what to do. The question is: will we come together sufficiently to do it? This question was addressed as long ago as 1932, by theologian, Reinhold Niebuhr, at New York’s Union Theological Seminary. In his book, Moral Man and Immoral Society, he wrote: “However much human ingenuity may increase the treasures which nature provides … they can never be sufﬁcient to satisfy all human wants; for man, unlike other creatures, is gifted and cursed with an imagination which extends his appetites beyond the requirements of subsistence. Human society will never escape the problem of the equitable distribution of the physical and cultural goods which provide for the preservation and fulﬁllment of human life.” Thus, in environmental terms, the benefits from fossil fuel usage must be weighed against their environmental costs, which must be paid for by both beneficiaries, the producers and, equitably, the communities.

keep cholesterol in check. Tips to Stay Heart Healthy The American Heart Association recommends the following tips to help manage cholesterol and stay heart healthy: • Eat a heart healthy diet. From a dietary standpoint, the best way to lower your cholesterol is to reduce your intake of saturated fat and trans fat. Limit saturated fat to less than 6 percent of daily calories. Minimize trans fat consumption by reducing your intake of red meat and whole milk dairy as well as limiting fried food and cooking with healthy oils. Additionally, a heart healthy diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, poultry, fish, nuts, and non-tropical vegetable oils. • Become more physically active. At least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise a week is enough to lower both cholesterol and high blood pressure. Brisk walking, swimming, bicycling, and dancing are all considered moderate-intensity exercise. • Quit smoking. Smoking and vaping lowers HDL, the good cholesterol. What’s more, in people who already have high cholesterol, smoking increases the risk of coronary heart disease even more than it otherwise would. • Lose weight. Being overweight or obese raises bad cholesterol and lowers good cholesterol. Losing as little as 5 to 10 percent of excess weight can help improve cholesterol levels.

suits – at least not in my book. The turbo-charged four-cylinder engine makes 184 horsepower. This engine is coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The all wheel drive SEL Premium model runs from 0 to 60 miles per hour in an unimpressive 9.1 seconds. There is a “sport” mode selection on the center console which affords this Tiguan a bit more zip, but not enough to make a tremendous difference. The overall ride quality of the Tiguan is a bit stiff, which makes going over bumps a bit of an adventure at times. But there is enough of a quality feel to the ride to make this a quality choice for some in the SUV crossover segment. My wife commented that she thought that the seats were a bit stiff and not comfortable. I would have to agree with her on that point. Volkswagen offers up the Tiguan in six different trim levels, starting with the base S model ($25,965) and ending with top of the line SEL Premium R-Line – which I drove – with a base price of $38,795.

The bottom line sticker price on my tester came in at $39,815 after adding in $1,020 for destination and delivery. The EPA fuel consumption ratings for the Tiguan come in at 23 miles per gallon overall – 27 miles per gallon in highway driving and 20 miles per gallon in city driving. The EPA estimates that the annual fuel cost of running this Tiguan will come in at about $1,750 as it uses about 4.3 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. The government’s 5-star safety ratings crash test were not completed all the way. The Tiguan did receive a 5-star rating for the front seat and rear seat side crash tests. It got a 4-star rating on the overall rollover test. The editors at Car and Driver gave the Tiguan high marks for “refined driving experience, available third row and excellent fuel economy.” Car and Driver gave the Tiguan low marks for not being as quick as its rivals, and it has a firm ride with the larger optional wheels. The SEL Premium model comes loaded with a ton of standard equipment including 20-inch alloy wheels; panoramic roof; heated seats and a heated leather wrapped steering wheel; remote start; 8-inch touch screen navigation and a whole lot more.

What’s valuable about New Jersey’s forests?

I’VE TRIED EVERYTHING PHYSICAL THERAPY DID NOT HELP INJECTIONS DID NOT HELP SURGERY DID NOT HELP I’M TAKING MORE MEDICATION

Steven Hoffman, L,Ac., Dipl. OM hears these things every day in his practice. That is because severe and chronic cases are so difficult to treat. Acupuncture is often a medicine of last resort but also often gets the best results. Chronic conditions are those that have lasted over three months and these conditions affect millions of Americans. Chronic conditions are not a good indicator of dysfunction. This means that whatever caused the problem in the ﬁrst place is no longer even present! If you are treating something that is not causing the problem, the treatment simply is not going to be effective.

n the not-so-distant past, the value of forests was based on the timber generated from logging. Forests without commercial timber potential were thought to be nearly worthless. Today, much more is known about forest values. Forests are considered priceless for providing wildlife habitat and many “ecosystem services,” including filtering impurities from the air and water, absorbing and storing carbon from the atmosphere, and soaking up flood waters. Forests are also valuable for recreation and their cooling effect in summer. A new “State Forest Action Plan” by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection examines the value of the Garden State’s forests and the many threats they face – most prominently the impacts of a warming climate. The plan proposes a number of actions to protect New Jersey’s forests, which collectively cover about two million acres of this state we’re in. The DEP is accepting public comments on the draft plan through Dec. 2. “In the past, forest managers looked at forests through a narrow lens … Timber value is no longer an important forest attribute for many New Jersey residents,” explains State Forester John Sacco in the plan’s introduction. “This land works hard for our nine million residents, providing clean water, much-needed recreation, wildlife and rare plant habitat and jobs,” Sacco added. “Our urban forests keep cities cooler in summer, filter air and water pollution and make our neighborhoods attractive places to live. Our forests fix enough atmospheric CO2 (carbon dioxide) each year to offset the annual CO2 emissions of Newark, our largest city. They are the front line in our fight against climate change.” The State Forest Action Plan is a 10year strategic plan required under the federal Farm Bill for New Jersey to be eligible for federal forest stewardship funding. Much hard work has gone into the action plan, which contains substantial information not found in previous plans. The federal forestry program has three priorities: protecting forests from threats; enhancing public benefits from trees and forests; and conserving and managing working forest landscapes for multiple values and uses. The first two are the most relevant to small and densely populated New Jersey. As Sacco notes, New Jersey’s forests are at risk from climate change, invasive species, diseases, insect outbreaks and wildfires. “Increased global trade is accelerating the homogenization of Earth’s ecosystems,” he said. “New organisms are continually introduced into places where they did not evolve. Due to introduced diseases and insects, we have lost or are losing many important native tree, shrub and herbaceous plant species. In many areas, our Great Eastern Deciduous Forest now has a Eurasian understory.” Wildfires are also a threat, as a massive fire or series of fires could cause “a catastrophic release of CO2 to the atmosphere, a phenomenon we have seen out west, where forest lands were once carbon sinks,

but now atmospheric carbon sources.” The forest plan suggests several actions, including: • Conserving our forests’ biological diversity; • Maintaining the health and vitality of forest ecosystems; • Conserving and maintaining soil and water resources of our forests; • Maintaining forest contributions to global carbon cycles. The forest plan notes that the Earth’s warming climate is changing New Jersey’s forests. Trees are flowering earlier and sea level rise threatens many species, including Atlantic white cedar, that can’t survive saltwater intrusion. Tree species historically found in the southern part of the state will eventually become more abundant in the north, and some trees now found in northern New Jersey may disappear from the state. The forest plan discusses diseases and pests in great detail and, for the first time, points out the severe damage caused by our over-abundant deer population. The forest plan recommends planting trees in areas previously not forested, restoring damaged forests, restoring the declining Atlantic White Cedar ecosystems, and protecting rare plants. The plan introduces a new concept of “proforestation,” the practice of leaving forests undisturbed as they march toward old age, to maximize their ecological potential and carbon sequestration. New science is helping us understand how carbon is captured and stored over time throughout the forest above or below ground, in wood and roots, and in soil and leaves. Many new studies, synthesized in the publication Wild Carbon, point to conserving undisturbed forests as the best strategy for sequestering carbon as part of the battle to slow climate change. The draft State Forest Action Plan mentions the Sourlands region of central New Jersey as one place where proforestation should be considered, but emerging science suggests this strategy should play a much larger role in many of New Jersey’s older, maturing forests. Protecting sequestered carbon by fostering the eventual re-establishment of old growth forest areas on our public lands can even create a New Jersey “carbon market.” As part of our response to global warming, forest trees may be far more valuable being left to grow old than anyone ever dreamed. For all those who love New Jersey’s forests and want to learn of their current status and what the future might hold, be sure to check out the State Forest Action Plan at https://njparksandforests.org/forest/njsfap/docs/njsfap20201015.pdf To provide your observations to the State Forester on the plan before the state’s Dec. 2 deadline, go to https://njparksandforests.org/forest/njsfap/comment.html To find out more about the benefits of proforestation, go to the Wild Carbon website at https://www.sweetwatertrust.org/ images/WildWorks_V1_WildCarbon.pdf Michele S.

Princeton school board election results are finalized By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

When the last votes were tallied, Princeton voters returned two incumbent school board members to office and elected a newcomer to the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education in the Nov. 3 general election. Incumbents Michele Tuck-Ponder and Beth Behrend were re-elected, along with newcomer Jean Durbin, to the school board. School board member Jessica Deutsch did not seek another term on the school board. Tuck-Ponder was the top vote-getter with 5,697 votes, followed by Behrend, who received 5,490 votes, and Durbin, who got 4,522 votes. A total of 29,297 votes were cast, including 106 votes for “personal choice” (write-in candidates), based on the final vote tallies released and certified Nov. 20 by Mercer County officials. Tuck-Ponder, Behrend and Durbin were among eight candidates vying for three seats on the school board. The term is for three years. Behrend said she was “honored by the trust and confidence of Princeton voters” who returned her and Tuck-Ponder to the school board. “We can now turn our full attention to the many important initiatives that we, in collaboration with our board colleagues, have been working on to better meet the needs of all of our students,” Behrend said. This includes choosing an experienced superintendent of schools to replace former Superintendent of Schools Steve Cochrane, who retired in June, Behrend said. Also on the list is the infusion of racial literacy throughout the K-12 educational

program, and the adoption of zero-based budgeting to ensure that every tax dollar is spent effectively, she said. Durbin said she was “delighted” to have been elected to the school board, and expressed her gratitude for the time and effort that people took to speak to her, attend candidate forums and to compare the candidates on the issues. “The issues remain the same as those I have campaigned on,” Durbin said, reeling off a list that includes hiring an experienced superintendent who has strong management skills and a demonstrated record of fostering the principles of equity, access and inclusion. Setting goals, providing guidance and implementing policy to deliver the best education possible for students, and working to implement measurable steps to close the achievement and opportunity gap round out the issues on which she campaigned, Durbin said. She also wants to find sustainable revenue sources and cost savings while adhering to the 2% tax levy cap. “I would like my work on the school board to be inclusive and for the betterment of our schools and the community,” Durbin said. Meanwhile, school board candidate Adam Bierman placed fourth among the nine candidates for the three school board seats. He earned 3,280 votes. Paul M. Johnson received 3,129 votes, and his running mates – Karen Lemon and William “Bill” Hare, a former school board member – received 2,887 votes and 2,585 votes, respectively. Johnson, Lemon and Hair campaigned together on a slate. Hendricks S. Davis received 1,601 votes.

Luminarias honor victims of domestic violence By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

Seeking to shine a light on domestic violence, Princeton officials are encouraging residents to buy luminary kits to place along their driveways and sidewalks Dec. 7 at dusk in support of Womanspace’s annual Communities of Light project. Mayor Liz Lempert issued a proclamation declaring Dec. 7 as “Communities of Light Day” at the Princeton Council’s Nov. 16 meeting. The proclamation honors the nonprofit group on its many accomplishments and also “commends Womanspace for its efforts to bring an end to the cycle of interpersonal violence imposed on women, children and men.” Communities of Light is the signature fundraiser for Womanspace, which is based in Lawrence Township. The luminary kit, which contains six candles, six paper bags and sand, costs $10. A virtual luminary kit also is available at a cost of $10. A complete list of stores where the luminary kits may be purchased is available at Womanspace’s website at www.womanspace.org. The goal of Communities of Light, which is also taking place in towns across Mercer County Dec. 7, is to raise public awareness of domestic violence and the availability of counseling and other resources for victims through Womanspace. Those resources include emergency housing in a confidential location for vic-

tims of domestic violence, as well as a Domestic Violence Victims Response Team, which meets with victims at municipal police departments on request. The trained volunteers provide support and resources for victims. Similar services are provided to victims of sexual assault through the Sexual Assault Support Services Advocates program, also staffed by trained volunteers. A volunteer may accompany a victim to the hospital, for example. Womanspace also offers counseling for victims on a family, group or individual basis. The nonprofit group also helps to guide victims through the restraining order process – which keeps abusers away from victims – in Mercer County Family Court. Womanspace has its roots in the Mercer County Commission on the Status of Women, which was created in 1976. During the initial public meetings, the issue of domestic violence quickly came to the forefront. As a result of those meetings, a proposal was developed to provide services to women in crisis. The effort was spearheaded by the late Barbara Boggs Sigmund, who was serving on the Mercer County Board of Chosen Freeholders. She later became the mayor of the former Princeton Borough. Since its founding 43 years ago, Womanspace has helped more than 89,000 women, 15,000 children and 6,500 men. It has also assisted more than 290,000 hotline callers.

A proposed State Senate bill would require wood frame-constructed buildings – such as those proposed by AvalonBay Communities – to have automatic fire sprinklers and noncombustible fire partitions that extend from the foundation to the roof. The bill would also require a fire watch warden to be on site at all times while the buildings are under construction. The fire watch warden would notify first responders in the event of a fire or other emergency. The fire watch warden also would

report fire safety issues to the Division of Fire Safety in the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs. Grace Sinden reminded the Planning Board of fires in AvalonBay Communities apartment developments in Edgewater Park and Maplewood that displaced hundreds of residents. One of the fires in Edgewater Park destroyed a portion of the development while it was under construction. Sinden also mentioned a fire at the Griggs Farm townhouse and apartment de-

velopment in Princeton in 2017 that killed one resident and displaced nearly three dozen residents. The development was not built by AvalonBay Communities. “I urge the Planning Board to do as much as possible to protect the residents,” Sinden said. Fires are disruptive and many tenants do not have insurance for the losses they may suffer because of a fire, she said. Flannery said his client was agreeable to some of the measures, and will install cement fire partitions from the basement to the roof.

Continued from Page 3A and beyond” what is in that agreement between the developer and the town. “I think AvalonBay will be sorry” that it is not installing additional electric conduits for future electric vehicle charging stations, Wilson said. When the meeting was opened for public comment, several residents called for the developer to address fire safety issues – while the buildings are under construction and in the buildings themselves. They cited pending legislation that is in front of the State Legislature.

LOOSE ENDS

ria oemer  

By Pam Hersh

Outdoor Dance Performance

Sugar Plum and Cavalier Professional ARB dancers with students from the Princeton Ballet School.

The Nutcracker, the thrilling ballet set to Tchaikovsky’s magnificent score, has been a joyful element of my Christmas season for nearly every Christmas since 1964, when the American Repertory Ballet (ARB), formerly Princeton Ballet, made the ballet an annual holiday tradition. I have seen the production an estimated 150 times at McCarter Theatre in Princeton, State Theater in New Brunswick, and the War Memorial in Trenton – not only because it gives me goosebumps, but also (full disclosure number one) because my daughter and my granddaughter have danced in dozens of productions. This year, COVID-19 positioned itself to be the Grinch that would steal the 2020 holiday sweet treat from not only my family, but also countless other families throughout New Jersey. But ARB and the students of its affiliated Princeton Ballet School (PBS) teamed up with Main Street Highland Park (MSHP) in a perfect pas de deux to thwart the Grinch. On Saturday afternoon, Nov. 21, ARB, PBS and MSHP produced Princeton Ballet School’s Nutcracker Suite – outside, with masks, with technical dance excellence, and with unbridled joy, in front of audience members, sitting socially distant, with masks and without paying a penny for a truly inspiring show. The teamwork resulted in the ballet’s first live dance performance since February, while simultaneously raising the profile of the COVID-beleaguered downtown Highland Park retail community. Full disclosure number two – my daughter Rebecca Hersh heads MSHP and my granddaughter Lily Solomon was

one of the students performing as one of the “candy canes from Russia.” So yes, the goosebumps I felt were not only the usual ones I experience every time I hear the score and watch the exquisite dancing, but also the ones unique to this particular production. The ballet company and school led by ARB Executive Director Julie Diana Hench, (Artistic Director Designate Ethan Stiefel who starts in July 2021), and PBS Director Aydmara Cabrera worked with the Main Street Highland Park team, led by MSHP Executive Director Rebecca Hersh, Assistant Director Javier Zavaleta, and Board Member Jenni Chapman, to fulfill the mandate of “the show must go on.” Their passion and determination fueled the event, respectful of but not cowed by the COVID threat. While the dance team prepared the dancers for the challenges of performing outdoors on a small, temporary stage, while staying safe from the usual dangers of dance related injuries and the unusual dangers of COVID, the Main Street group put in many hours of logistical planning geared to keep COVID out and enjoyment in, enforcing strict registration, supporting the local retailers by giving out to all audience members goodie bags with coupons to various retail establishments, and securing sponsors to finance the project. The sponsors crucial to the event were Middlesex County Board of Chosen Freeholders, the New Jersey State Arts Council, and Miller’s Rentals. And just because I want credit for some aspect of this awesome project, I am proclaiming that I arranged

for the weather – overcast, no wind, no rain, and moderate mid-50s to 60-degree temperatures. For one hour, the audience members and performers escaped from reality and worries about the depressed retail scene throughout New Jersey, the struggling arts scene through out New Jersey, and the excruciating struggles of New Jerseyans confronting the horrors of this disease. On the day of the performance, New Jersey reported close to 5,000 new cases, surpassing 300,000 total cases since the pandemic began. The statewide cumulative total was 302,039 positive test results. New Jersey’s overall fatality count resulting from COVID-19 went up to 16,746. The dancing of the candy canes, snowflakes, sugar plums, dew drop, chocolates, marzipans, polichinelles, coffees, teas, Mother Ginger cherubs, and waltzing flowers, comprised the ingredients of a delicious cake whose icing was a performance by two ARB professionals in the role of the Sugar Plum and Cavalier. For the first time in months, the little tears in the corners of my eyes were dewdrops of joy rather than stinging tears of fear and frustration. My only advice as to how to sustain the spirit of this initiative is to pay it forward – shop local, attend all the virtual fundraisers for the arts and social services organizations, and say thank you a billion times to all frontline healthcare personnel and es-

sential workers whose services sustain our day to day survival. Perhaps, we should buy these essential workers coupons for goods and services at local restaurants and retail shops, as well as tickets to next year’s arts productions – post COVID and post vaccination. Until then, maybe a few more communities through December could use this model of arts and business collaboration to create a movement away from the computer screens and into the streets for small, niche, COVID-safe, outdoor, performing arts productions covering the entire gamut of dance and musical entertainment. Right now, I crave not only all styles of dance, but also jazz, rock and roll, and even a good stand-up comic. New Jersey’s winter weather generally doesn’t get too apocalyptic until February and March. How sweet that would be if the hard work, creativity and determination were catching instead of the virus!

Obituaries

Michael N. Jolley, MD, of Princeton, died peacefully in the early hours of November 18, after a long and difficult battle with Alzheimer’s disease. He was the son of Dr. Henry Arden Jolley, and Mary Maureen, nee Begley Jolley. His father, a British army surgeon from Chile, and his mother, a British army nurse from Ireland, met during World War II, and married in Nairobi, Kenya. After the war, they returned to Chile, where Mike was born in 1947. Growing up in a medical family, he knew at an early age that he would follow in his parents’ footsteps The Jolley family, including Mike’s younger brother and two sisters, moved to the US in 1958, and eventually settled in Oradell, New Jersey. He was graduated from Riverdell High School, and a proud graduate of the University of Notre Dame, where he majored in pre-med studies. He was graduated with honor from New Jersey College of Medicine and Dentistry, now Rutgers School of Biomedical and Health Sciences. While in college, he met his wife, Wendy, nee McCaughan, on a blind date, and they were married in 1973. They moved to New York, where Mike did an internship and one year of a general surgery residency at NYU Bellevue Hospital. They then moved to Pasadena, California, for Mike’s four-year orthopedic residency at the University of Southern California. Their first daughter was born in 1976. After returning to New Jersey, Mike completed a hip fellowship at The Hospital for Special Surgery. Their second daughter was born in 1979. In 1980, the Jolleys moved to Princeton, Wendy’s hometown. Mike joined the Princeton Orthopedic Group, where he practiced until a merger with Princeton Orthopaedics in 1992. Their third and fourth daughters were born in 1982 and 1983. He remained at Princeton Orthopaedic Associates until his retirement in 2016, after practicing for 36 years. Mike was a consummate professional. He did everything precisely, and with purpose and skill. He was a gifted surgeon, specializing in hip and knee replacements, and over the years, he took care of many older patients, both in the office and at various clinics. He was an “old-fashioned doctor”, in the sense that he treated his patients himself, from start to finish, and developed a lasting relationship with them and their families. He cared deeply, and always did his best for them. Mike was generous to a fault, always glad to lend a hand, financial support or just his presence. He had great respect for many of the excellent doctors and nurses he worked with over the years. He was a lover of Notre Dame football, classic cars, ‘60’s music, a funny joke, a good cigar and a glass of Chardonnay. He greatly enjoyed spending time on Long Beach Island with friends and family members. He was a loyal friend to all. His greatest joy was his family; he was a devoted husband, doting father of four daughters, and he adored his six grandchildren. He was predeceased by his parents and his brother, Henry Vernon Jolley. He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Wendy; daughters Dr. Jennifer Jolley (Dr. Marcelo Hinojosa), of Irvine, CA; Katharine Milford (David), of Lawrenceville; Caroline of Philadelphia; Lindsay Ambriz (Jesse) of Pennington; and his beloved grandchildren; Eve, Alexandra, Landon, Max, Olivia and Scarlett. He is also survived by his sister, Patricia Orlovsky (Brian) of Newport Richey, FL; and sister, Moira Swallow (Eric), of Saybrook, CT. He will be greatly missed by his sisters-in-law Carey Hoover (Stuart) and Marny McCaughan, and many nieces and nephews. A celebration of Mike’s life will be held at a future date when it is safe to gather. Burial in Princeton Cemetery will be private. Donations in his honor may be made to Corner House Behavioral Health, I Monument Drive, Princeton, New Jersey, 08540; or the American Nurses Association.
