East Windsor council introduces $22.4M budget By Lea Kahn Staff Writer
East Windsor Township property owners will not see an increase in the municipal tax rate for the sixth straight year under the proposed $22.4 million municipal budget for 2018 that has been introduced by the township council. Officials said the municipal tax rate will remain at 43 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. The owner of a house assessed at the township average of $258,287 will pay $1,121 in municipal property taxes. Municipal taxes are one item on a property owner’s total tax bill, which also includes school taxes and county taxes.
Volunteers sought for cleanup program
The 2018 municipal budget of $22.4 million increased by approximately $400,000 over the 2017 budget of $22 million. The amount of taxes to be collected to support the 2018 budget is $12.2 million, compared to $11.9 million for 2017. A public hearing on the budget and final action by the council is set for the governing body’s May 8 meeting. Municipalities rely on several sources of revenue to support the budget - from the use of surplus funds (savings) to miscellaneous revenues such as licenses, fees and permits, municipal court fines and costs, and a hotel tax. The remainder of the revenue needed to fund the budget is made up through
property taxes. In East Windsor Township’s proposed budget, licenses for alcoholic beverages are expected to generate $32,444, while municipal court fines and costs are expected to generate $463,000. The hotel tax will produce $210,000 in revenue, according to the budget. Officials will apply $3.1 million from surplus funds to support the budget and expect to receive $3.5 million in state aid. Construction code fees will generate $387,572 in revenue. Shared service agreements for animal control, the senior center and police dispatching will produce $239,626. Property taxes collected from residential and commer-
cial property owners will make up the difference of $12.2 million to support the municipal spending plan. Under state law, officials could have raised up to $12.9 million in municipal property taxes - an additional $700,000 over the amount projected to be raised - but chose not to do so. “This is an excellent budget. This fiscally conservative budget will continue to deliver a high quality level of services to residents,” Mayor Janice Mironov said, adding that the council “takes very seriously” its responsibility for budgeting and spending taxpayers’ money. Noting that council members could have raised property taxes up to the 2 percent maximum al-
lowed by state law, Mironov said their decision not to do so “shows sensitivity to the residents and their pocketbooks.” The mayor said preparing a municipal budget that does not have a tax increase is the result of the township’s commitment to continually seek out more efficiencies, cooperative purchasing agreements and shared services agreements. There is a significant increase in new businesses and ratables, and a low level of debt, which combine to keep a lid on property taxes, she said. Officials take a proactive approach to carefully plan and to closely monitor expenses and revenue all year, Mironov said.

Community groups and organizations that feel the need to do some spring cleaning - and summer and fall cleaning, too - can satisfy the urge by “adopting” a public property in East Windsor Township under the Adopt-ASpot program. More than a dozen groups have already done so, Mayor Janice Mironov said, but there are a few public properties that have not yet been claimed through the Adopt-A-Spot program. The program is sponsored by the East Windsor Clean Communities Committee. Groups that adopt a public property are expected to visit the site and clean it at least three times per month, Mironov said. The program begins in April and runs through November. “At this point, the East Windsor Adopt-A-Spot program has 14 participating groups for 2018,” Mironov said. “For the most part, their spots are municipal parks and municipal building properties.” Although the cleanup program is underway, there are still some “orphan” properties that have not been adopted. These locations include the Etra Lake Park path, the Etra Lake Park fitness trail, the Turnpike Park and path, the Disbrow Hill Park playing fields areas, and the East Windsor Volunteer Fire Co. No. 2 location on Twin Rivers Drive. “The Adopt-A-Spot program See CLEANUP, Page 5A

County executive to be subpoenaed to testify By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer
Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes will be subpoenaed to testify in the corruption case of Kevin Bannon, the former executive director of the Mercer County Park Commission, Bannon’s lawyer said on April 16. While standing outside the Mercer County Courthouse, Trenton, following Bannon’s most recent court appearance in a case the state Attorney General brought against him in 2017, defense attorney Jack Furlong spoke of his intention to subpoena Hughes. Furlong mentioned Hughes specifically, but he also left the door open to subpoenaing others in county government to testify at a trial the lawyer thinks will take place in 2019. “I don’t care who you are in Mercer County government,” Furlong said. “You are going to be subpoenaed to testify in this
trial.” “If Mr. Hughes is subpoenaed, he will absolutely respond,” county spokeswoman Julie Willmot said. “At this time, no subpoena has been served.” Bannon, 60, of Lawrenceville, has pleaded not guilty to official misconduct and other charges contained in a 10-count-indictment handed up in October. The state alleged Bannon directed money that should have gone into county coffers into a nonprofit organization, the Friends of Mercer County Parks, he and his brother ran. The state also alleged Bannon accepted benefits for himself and others. Bannon’s brother, Terry, also a park commission employee, was not charged in the investigation, the state has said. In announcing the charges last year, authorities sought to lay out how Kevin Bannon allegedly had operated. For example, the state claims
$9,000 the United States Tennis Association paid to rent the Mercer County tennis center in 2013, 2014 and 2015 allegedly was directed to the Friends of Mercer County Parks instead of to the county. In another instance, the state claims Bannon allegedly allowed an accountant for the Friends of Mercer County Parks to golf for free at county courses from 201315 instead of getting paid for work performed. Bannon was charged with eight second-degree offenses, each carrying up to 10 years in prison, and two third-degree offenses that each carry up to five years in prison. Furlong said Bannon “realistically” faces up to five years in prison without parole if he is convicted. The attorney said Bannon has no interest in a plea bargain and wants his day in front of a jury. “He desperately wants a trial,” Furlong said.

As part of its investigation, the Attorney General’s Office was aided by a confidential informant whose identity has not been disclosed. Furlong said he is looking to obtain records the informant turned over to authorities, information the Attorney General so far has not handed over. Furlong said he wants to know the identity of the informant, although he said outside court that he knows the identity of the individual. “I want (state authorities) to tell me,” he said. Peter Aseltine, a spokesman for the Attorney General’s Office, had no comment when asked about Furlong’s request. Bannon, who was paid $133,728 as the executive director of the Mercer County Park Commission, was fired by the commission in June 2016, a few months after the commission’s

The Mercer County Park Commission cooperated with its hunters this season to obtain venison donations to Hunters Helping the Hungry (HHH), a non-profit organization that works with butchers, hunters and food banks. This first year’s initiative resulted in the donation of 14 deer harvested by the end of the hunting season. The Naturalist Department provided drop-off donation days to licensed county hunters in the Deer Management Program at both Mercer Meadows and Baldpate Mountain during hunting season. Donated deer were taken to the Farmers’ Butcher Shop in Pennington where the venison was processed, picked up by HHH and distributed to charities throughout New Jersey and to America’s Second Harvest Food Banks statewide. The Park Commission paid the additional processing fees not covered by the HHH program. Approximately 518 pounds of venison were provided to the program, translating to 2,072 servings of protein by this county initiative. Venison is a valuable resource to those in need, offering a high-protein food source to populations with limited access to nutrition. The Deer Management Program is held annually to improve the health of forest ecosystems within the parks and in coordination with regional efforts to reduce the overpopulation of white-tailed deer in central New Jersey. The program complies with all hunting regulations set by the State of New Jersey.

The chapel at Princeton Abbey is about to be filled with the sounds of jazz. Princeton Abbey and Cemetery is hosting a series of free jazz concerts, which will be curated by Candice Hoyes, a jazz and classical vocalist who also will perform during the shows. “The series will be heavily inspired by jazz, but it will range into other styles and atmospheres inside of the Abbey experience,” Hoyes says. “The Abbey is historically pristine and a very affirming and uplifting space, so the music will take that tone, as well. However, we’re going to go in quite a few directions, culturally.” Hoyes has a connection to the area, having graduated from Westminster Choir College. She was recently introduced to Bernard “Buzzy” Stoecklein, CEO of CMS Mid-Atlantic, which manages Princeton Abbey and Cemetery, which used to be St. Joseph’s College seminary. One of Stoecklein’s goals was to bring music to the Abbey. It has hosted concerts, and the American Boychoir School recorded music there. The male classical vocal quartet New York Polyphony is scheduled to record its next album there, as well. The new jazz series will open April 28 with a concert titled “Introducing Candice Hoyes,” during which Hoyes will sing songs from her 2015 album, “On a Turquoise Cloud.” “The way that we’ve chosen the music from that night is from my first album, which is a collection of rare Duke Ellington,” Hoyes says. “So it’s really a quintessential, informative voice — as far as jazz — to feature Duke Ellington. I’m going to share some of the stories of putting the album together. I’m going to share some of my original compositions and other music that inspires me, so people will get a really good perspective and overview of what’s coming next and how they can join us all summer.” The series will continue May 19, with a concert titled “Soulful Strings.” For that show, Hoyes will be joined by Brandee Younger on harp; Chiara Fasi on violin and Courtney Bryan on piano.
Princeton Abbey’s new concert series will begin April 28 with a performance of Duke Ellington music.
Next is “Jazz at the Movies,” June 16. That show will feature songs from movies ranging from “Meet Me In St. Louis” to “La La land.” The series will wrap up July 21 with “Habanera Nights,” showcasing Latin music from Cuba, Brazil and other nations. Hoyes says one of the reasons she was drawn to the series was the opportunity to curate and perform in a series of concerts, and to help bring people to Princeton Abbey. “I think that part of the spirit of the series we’re creating is extending the community so I want to be there as a musical presence as a host,” she says. “And I want to be musically essential, I want to be there to make the music and bring the artists together and also to engage the community from age 0 to 100.” She also had praise for the Abbey as a performing space. “The acoustics are absolutely pristine,” she says. “So you enjoy a beautiful sound in these spaces, and its a great environment, replete with stained glass windows and wonderful areas for sitting.”
Concerts begin at 4:30 p.m. Admission is free. Princeton Abbey and Cemetery is located at 75 Mapleton Road, Plainsboro. For more information, go to www.cmsmidatlantic.com/princeton-abbey.

COVER STORY by Mike Morsch
Songs From a Legend Judy Collins is returning to New Hope Winery for two concerts
J
udy Collins and Stephen Stills were driving around one day in Malibu, California, when Stills had an idea. “He said, ‘You know, we need another song on this album,’” Collins says. It was mid-1968 and Collins was coming off the success of her sixth studio album “Wildflowers,” which reached No. 5 on the Billboard Pop Albums charts after its release in October 1967. The album featured Collins’ Top 10 hit cover of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now.” Stills’ band Buffalo Springfield had just broken up in May, 1968. When Collins and producer David Anderle were planning the next album, “Who Knows Where the Time Goes,” they decided to record it in Los Angeles. “This was an opportunity to go to California and I was thrilled to be able to do that,” Collins says. “My producer said, ‘I want to bring you to California to make sort of a live album.’” Anderle then put together a top-notch band in Los Angeles that included musicians with whom Collins had not previously worked. Among them were Buddy Emmons — who played with the Everly Brothers, Roger Miller and Ernest Tubb — on pedal steel guitar; James Burton — who recorded and played with Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard — on dobro and electric guitar; Chris Ethridge — who would go on to play with Gram Parsons and the Flying Burrito Brothers — on bass; Jim Gordon — a session drummer who backed the Everly Brothers — pianist Mike Melvin, who performed on the Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds” album in 1966 and Frank Sinatra’s “That’s Life” album, also in 1966; Van Dyke Parks, a songwriting collaborator with Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, on piano and electric piano; and Stills, fresh off the Buffalo Springfield gig, on guitar. (Collins has said in other published interviews that she believed Anderle had asked Stills to work on the album only to find out later that it was the other way around.) “That’s where Stephen and I first met,” Collins says. “Stephen was somebody that I had never worked with before, so that was exciting. I didn’t know him and I really wasn’t aware of the Buffalo Springfield. I knew who they were but I didn’t know who the individual artists were. So it was a great surprise for me to meet him. And of course he’s a genius, so that was good.” Not only that, but the attraction between Collins and Stills was there from the first moment. “Yes, there were sparks right away,” she says.
Judy Collins is performing two solo concerts at New Hope Winery, and plans on touring with Stephen Stills later this year. So when Collins and Stills were driving around Malibu taking a break from recording sessions for “Who Knows Where the Time Goes,” Stills shared with Collins his idea about a song he thought they should record for the album. “He said, ‘Let’s do “Someday Soon.”’ So that’s what we did,” Collins says. Canadian singer-songwriter Ian Tyson, who with his wife Sylvia had formed the duo Ian and Sylvia in 1961, had written and recorded “Someday Soon” in 1964 but had not released it as a single. Collins was friends with Ian and Sylvia when they all lived in Greenwich Village in the mid-1960s. “We used to hang out together. I had heard all of their songs,” Collins says. So Collins didn’t need much convincing to record “Someday Soon” for the “Who Knows Where the Time Goes” album, and the song helped propel the album to No. 29 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart after its release in November 1968. The song itself would go on to become one of Collins’ signature songs. And there’s a good chance that it will be included in the set list when Collins appears for two shows April 27-28 at
the New Hope Winery in New Hope, Pennsylvania. It’s a return to the winery for Collins, who has sold out past shows at the venue. “It’s a beautiful place for a wonderful, intimate show,” Collins says. “People get a chance to be closer to you than normal, and I love that.” Although the 1960s romance between Collins and Stills inspired Stills to write “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” for his then-new band Crosby, Stills and Nash in 1969, Stills won’t be featured in these two shows. And even though the two are no longer linked romantically, they are still making music together. They toured as a duo in 2017 and plan to do so again in 2018. “We’ve remained friends all these years,” Collins says. “And I always thought that maybe someday we’d do something together, but we had no idea what that would be. “He was always so deeply involved with Crosby, Stills and Nash and at the time, there wasn’t very much room at the table for anything else.” The two did finally make an album together, titled “Everybody Knows,” which was released in September 2017. The album features an updated version of the Sandy Denny-written “Who Knows Where the Time Goes,” and a new Collins song called “River of Gold.” “It was thrilling to have a new song on board for that album,” Collins says. “Stephen and I are going out again on tour this year in May and June. It was so much fun. We want to work on some more new songs together if we can find the time.” Fans will also get a new music bonus from Collins at the New Hope Winery shows. “I’ll sing songs from the 59 years of my career — the old, the new and the brand new,” she says. “There will be a brand-new song that nobody has ever heard before in concert. There are lots of different ones but there will be something that people don’t know anything about. “Of course, I’ll sing the classics, probably ‘Amazing Grace’ and I would think probably ‘Send in the Clowns,'” she says. “I do change the setlist from show to show. But I’m the most important person up there, so I’m the one that has to be happy.”
Judy Collins will perform at New Hope Winery, 6123 Lower York Road, New Hope, Pennsylvania, April 27-28, 8 p.m. For tickets and information, go to newhopewinery. com or call 215-794-2331.

STAGE REVIEW by Bob Brown
‘Bakersfield Mist’ by Pegasus Theatre Project “Bakersfield Mist,” a terrific one-act play, being performed at the West Windsor Arts Center through April 22, sneaks up on you with a couple of surprises. One reason is that the production demands are light. There are just two characters on a single, modest set. The focus is therefore on the story and the characters. The Pegasus Theatre Project in Princeton Junction has put together a great cast, who give this meaty play everything it deserves. The production notes outline the brief, tortured career of Jackson Pollock, a giant of 20th-century abstract expressionism. His drip-painting was a breakthrough technique that shattered artistic norms, even in an age when representational art was losing favor. Pollock is, in effect, an unseen third character, whose work serves as a scaffolding on which to hang all manner of presumptions and prejudices — about art and who has the right to judge it, about self-presentation, about posing, about one’s relation to the body. The setting is a trailer park in Bakersfield, California,
where Maude Gutman (Donne Petito) is expecting a guest from New York, the prominent art assessor Lionel Percy (Rupert Hinton). From the moment the two face off in her tacky trailer, the cultural chasm is obvious: she is rumpled in jeans and swearing like a sailor, he is buttoned up in a suit and tie. After they get around to his bona fides — he’s the most self-important art critic in America — there’s the business at hand. Is Maude’s surprising discovery a genuine Pollock or a fake? Petito and Hinton are great at creating these two very different characters who, except for the circumstances, would never brush elbows. She’s flouncing all over the furniture, downing drinks liberally, while he’s uptight, refusing hospitality, sniffing at the décor, which is mid-century Airstream. Maude married an abusive man who abandoned her and a son, who, as a result of derelict parenting, is a mess. After she was fired as a bartender, she had time on her hands and a lot of drinking to catch up on. The painting, which she
discovered in a heap behind a building, was supposed to be a joke-present for a friend. It was so bad, her friend threw it out on the street, where Maude retrieved it. Lionel tells how he first became enthralled with art. As a student on a field trip to the Met, he was captivated by Picasso’s “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon,” a painting so radical that art would never be the same again. It led him to a life exploring art and to ever-greater heights in the art stratosphere. When the painting is ceremoniously trotted out for his inspection, he circles it like a peacock judging the merits of a prospective peahen. When he pronounces it a fake, the real discussions begin. In arguing why it cannot be by Pollock, the painter who re-shattered art after Picasso, Lionel presses his point. He is “waiting for the tingle in the presence of something authentic.” He then becomes Pollock at his canvas, taking the defiant leap. Hinton gives a bravura performance here. In a frenzy, he crouches and growls and shouts over his imagined work on the floor, thrashing about as if splattering the canvas. Looking back at her “fake,” Maude is still not impressed with this verdict. Why do experts get to say what is real? Why can’t ordinary people have an opinion about what moves them in a work? She insists that her humble canvas has something, and that Lionel must pronounce it a Pollock. It’s not the money, she says. It’s now the principle. Gradually, and ever so subtly, it becomes clear that these two are posers. Each is playing a role to cover up a secret. Judging a work of art is akin to sizing up a person. Who is this I’m arguing with? How can I appraise them? There’s more to Maude than a first impression reveals. Like a Pollock, with layers of paint and swirls of pigment and hand prints, there is much beneath the surface that only an astute observer can see. They dance around each other and the painting, uncovering those depths down to the base. What is a painting worth? What is a life worth? This is a play that artfully pulls apart what it means to value art, to value others, to value oneself in a world where the prevailing measure is commercial. With Peter Bisgaier directing, Petito and Hinton create a sort of theatrical magic that breathes life into two distinct characters. On the West Windsor Arts Center’s intimate stage, it’s a most satisfying and entertaining evening.

Taking on the opioid crisis
Craig Gronczewski’s work in an emergecy room has inspired him to help people with addictions Gov. Phil Murphy in early April announced he wants $100 million in new spending to address New Jersey’s opioid crisis. None of the money, however, would be spent on public service announcements to promote substance abuse treatment, the governor said. He questioned the effectiveness of having a 60-year-old politician stare into a television camera and lecture about opiate addiction. How about a 45-year-old emergency room physician who has seen the very real and tragic consequences of opioid addiction among his patients in the Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center emergency room, as well as within his own extended family? Craig Gronczewski, MD MBA, chairman of the department of emergency medicine at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center, has no intention of doing television ads about opiate addiction. He is intent, however, upon implementing a hospitalbased strategy to tackle the problem. I worked with Gronczewski for several years and know that his youthful appearance and congenial personality belie a steely determination when it comes to finding ways to address flaws in our health care delivery system. “Opioid addiction is a national crisis,” he says. “The United States has less than 10 percent of the world’s population, yet con-
sumes more than 80 percent of the world’s opioids. And Princeton has not escaped the epidemic. In the ER, we see multiple people every day who have either overdosed on or are seeking detox from opioids. “In New Jersey, opiate overdose in young adults is the number one cause of accidental death — surpassing motor vehicle deaths. We also are seeing ‘drug diversion’ — drugs lawfully prescribed to a patient that are being taken by non-prescribed individuals.” However, in spite of the young adult accidental death statistic, he says patients come from all backgrounds in terms of both age and socio-economic backgrounds — teens to seniors, rich, poor, middle class, and all ethnic backgrounds. Gronczewski’s MBA from the Wharton School at University of Pennsylvania has given him the tools to think strategically about hospital operational and organizational issues, while his MD from Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and an emergency medicine residency at the Medical College of Pennsylvania provide the medical wherewithal to evaluate the impact of any strategy on the patient’s physical well being. He acknowledged that multiple complex reasons are behind the increase in drug abuse, but noted that simple procedural
Craig Gronczewski is working to help with the nation’s opiod crisis. changes in hospitals and emergency rooms can address the opioid addiction problem. The key is “rethinking the medical professional’s approach to chronic pain and evaluating realistically our resilience to pain and suffering,” he said. “It is crucial to focus on alternatives to opioids for treating pain and employ a multi-modal nonopiate approach to analgesia for specific conditions. We have to utilize non-opiate approaches as the first-line therapy and then to educate patients more thoroughly about all pain management options and the specific protocols of opiate use.” Non-pharmacologic, first-line therapies include: warm/cold
compresses; positioning; transcutaneous (passing through the skin) electrical nerve stimulation; trigger point injections, cognitive counseling, training, and coaching; acupuncture. Non-opioid drug therapies include; Acetaminophen; NSAIDS; Lidocaine (topically and intravenously). If opioids are determined to be a necessary course of treatment, then medical professionals must implement the shortest possible length of treatment time and transition expeditiously to non-opiate pain management approaches. Unwitting culprits in the opioid abuse situation, according to Gronczewski, may be well intended public health policies and the unintended consequences of their delivery. Examples include the flaws of promoting subjective pain scores as an objective vital sign, and tying insurance reimbursement to patient satisfaction surveys. Two common questions on surveys are: How likely are you to recommend this facility? How well was your pain controlled? It can be assumed patients whose pain has been significantly reduced would be happier with the treatment received. This establishes incentives that may lead to over-prescribing. The entire industry may be complicit in the opiate prescripSee LOOSE ENDS, Page 11B

McCarter to host gala
McCarter, George Street and the State Theatre are preparing for their big fundraising nights McCarter Theatre Center will host its Gala Benefit Concert featuring headline performer, six-time Tony winner Audra McDonald, April 28. McDonald performs on Broadway, TV, movies, opera, and the concert stage. She won her record-breaking sixth Tony in 2015 for her portrayal of Billie Holiday in “Lady Day.” The gala supports McCarter’s artistic and educational missions in Princeton and around the region. It will be co-chaired by Courtney Lederer and Mark Thierfelder of Princeton; Liza and Sky Morehouse of Hopewell; and Sonia and Bill Sappington of Skillman. The gala is the largest fundraising event for the theater. The evening begins with a cocktail reception followed directly by the performance by McDonald in McCarter’s Matthews Theatre. After the concert, guests will return to the tent for dinner and live auction, followed by an afterparty with live entertainment, and dancing.
Happy Days are almost here... Is your vehicle ready for that Road Trip? Audra McDonald will perform during McCarter’s annual gala, April 28. Seats are still available for the concert-only portion of the evening, costing $81.50$106.50. For more information, go to www.501auctions.com/mccartergala.

Loose Ends Continued from Page 10B tion issue, Gronczewski said, because low patient-satisfaction scores can lead to reduced insurance reimbursement and even to the dismissal of a physician who gets consistently low patient satisfaction scores. So the challenge is to measure patient satisfaction, while finding non-opioid ways to effectively manage pain and educate about pain management strategies. “It is certainly possible to provide exceptional and satisfying care to patients without opiates as first-line therapy,” Gronczewski said. “Communicating with patients effectively is key. We also need to empower providers and give them the tools to treat patients compassionately and to also provide evidence-based pain control.” Gronczewski described how his determination to tackle the problem has its roots in his childhood when he watched the physical and ethical deterioration of his
“favorite uncle,” who had a life-long problem with drug abuse. “On one occasion, my uncle told my grandmother he wanted to take me to a baseball game, and she gave him money for our excursion,” Gronczewski said. “He took me instead to the projects in Brooklyn to score drugs. I was 10 years old and terrified. Another time, my mother was planning to take my friends and family out for ice cream to celebrate my birthday. She hid her cash for the celebration in her dresser drawer. When she went to retrieve the money, it was gone. My uncle later admitted he had stolen my birthday money. My uncle was such a different person when he was on drugs — it was awful to watch.” Craig is grateful that he now is in a position to do more than watch — and actually do something to cure the drug addiction disease ravaging America.

HEALTH MATTERS
The Week of Friday, April 20, 2018T
Dr. Kenneth A. Goldman
Make varicose veins disappear Treatment for varicose veins has advanced so dramatically over the years that today most patients can have a simple procedure during their lunch hour and be back at work without missing a beat. No long hospital stays. No staying off your feet for weeks. No pain. At the Center for Vascular Care at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center (PMC), board certified vascular surgeons, along with skilled nurses and trained vascular staff, offer a variety of treatment options for vascular conditions, including varicose veins. Like overstretched rubber bands Varicose veins are swollen and twisted veins that can be seen beneath the skin. They can occur anywhere in the body, but are most often seen on the legs, and they become more prominent with age. They can be superficial or somewhat deeper in the
soft tissues. Varicose veins can be cosmetically disturbing and can cause significant discomfort and pain. Weak or damaged valves are the common cause of varicose veins. In healthy veins, one-way valves open to let blood pass through and then shut to keep blood from flowing backward. If the valves become damaged, they fail to close properly, allowing blood to back up and pool in the veins. The increased pressure caused by valve failure stretches out downstream veins. Normally, the walls of the veins are elastic — like a rubber band. But like a rubber band when it is overstretched, the walls of the veins lose their elasticity. When veins lose their elasticity, they become longer and wider, further exacerbating valve failure. Varicose veins are therefore usually progressive, worsening with time.

As the veins swell and lengthen, they twist to fit into their normal space, giving them their characteristic appearance. One in five adults The National Institutes of Health estimates that about one in five adults has varicose veins, with about half of them reporting a family history of the condition. While varicose veins may develop in young people, they are more common with age and occur more frequently in women than men. In addition to age and family history, other risk factors for varicose veins include: • Standing for long periods of time. Prolonged standing causes blood to pool in the leg veins, enlarging them and impairing valve function. • Pregnancy. During pregnancy, changing physiology and hormones increase the likelihood of developing varicose veins. • Being overweight or obese. Extra weight can put extra pressure on the leg veins, making it harder for blood to return to the heart. • Leg trauma. Previous clots or trauma to the valves in your veins can increase the likelihood of developing varicose veins. Heavy feeling in legs In addition to bulging veins beneath the skin, other signs of varicose veins include: • Painful, achy or tired legs that “feel like lead” • Throbbing or cramping in the legs • Brownish discoloration of skin near the ankles • Swelling in the ankles and feet • Itchiness, especially in the lower leg. Sometimes this is incorrectly diagnosed as dry skin In most cases, varicose veins do not cause serious complications. However, sometimes they can lead to non-healing skin ulcers as a result of minor trauma. They can also lead to superficial thrombophlebitis, a superficial blood clot that occurs in the varicosity and presents as a tender, firm cord. Quick, easy treatment In addition to lifestyle changes — such as losing weight and avoiding prolonged
periods of standing — common treatment options for varicose veins include: • Radiofrequency ablation in which the leaking vein is sealed and the blood is naturally rerouted through healthier veins. • Sclerotherapy in which a chemical solution is injected into the vein causing it to shrink and eventually be absorbed by the body, while causing blood to reroute through healthier veins. • Microphlebectomy in which varicose veins close to the surface of the skin are removed through a series of tiny incisions. These minimally invasive procedures can quickly and easily diminish the appearance of varicose veins and alleviate pain and discomfort associated with the condition. Most patients will return to regular activities almost immediately after these procedures, and to athletics shortly thereafter. Take a break Though you can’t prevent varicose veins entirely, you can stop them from getting worse and take steps to delay other ones from developing. • Take a break from standing or sitting every 30 to 60 minutes • Elevate your legs when sitting, resting or sleeping • Maintain a healthy weight • Exercise, including aerobics • Avoid wearing tight binding clothes • Wear compression stockings if your doctor recommends them If you have troublesome varicose veins, see a vascular surgeon. Current treatments are very safe and effective, with little or no down time.
