Two vie for three seats available on East Windsor regional school board

By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

With three seats available on the East Windsor Regional School District Board of Education, only two candidates are vying to fill a threeyear seat set aside for an East Windsor resident in the Nov. 3 general election.

No one has filed to run for a one-year unexpired term for an East Windsor representative, nor for a three-year term on the school board set aside for a Hightstown Borough representative.

Seven of the nine seats on the school board are set aside for East Windsor residents and two are earmarked for Hightstown residents.

Three seats on the school board become available every year.

Incumbent school board member Jeanne Bourjolly is being challenged for re-election by Jagruti Patel for a three-year term on the school board, representing East Windsor.

Bourjolly, who has lived in East Windsor since 2016, was appointed top fill a vacant seat on the school board in January. She is seeking election to a full three-year term.

Bourjolly has one child, who attends the Walter C. Black Elementary School. She works for the New Jersey Department of the Treasury.

Asked about the top three issues facing the East Windsor Regional

School District, Bourjolly said it is about communication, eighth grade mathematics and the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) curriculum.

On the issue of communication, Bourjolly said the district needs to be more transparent.

“Better communication in regards to relaying information and listening with open ears will help strengthen the relationship between the school district, teachers, students and the community,” Bourjolly said.

Improving the eighth grade mathematics curriculum is essential, Bourjolly said. Students deserve to continue to excel, and not to plateau in math once they reach eighth grade.

Finally, the elementary and middle school curricula need to be more STEM-oriented, Bourjolly said. Hightstown High School is on the right path, but the STEM curriculum needs to be improved in the lower grades.

Patel, who is also vying for the three-year seat on the school board, has lived in East Windsor since 2001. Patel has one child who attends the Grace Rogers Elementary School, and another child who is a freshman at Hightstown High School.

Patel has worked for the U.S. Department of the Treasury as an

auditor for 25 years.

“I am running for the school board because the pandemic brought to light many big issues about how students learn and how they have been engaged in the remote learning process. I want to be part of the board in order to address the current issues,” Patel said.

“I can also share new ideas, promote diversity and recommend ways to learn globally through technology, promote interaction with teachers and students, and offer

extra curriculum to enhance a new way of learning through artificial intelligence, which is the new way of the future,” Patel said.

Patel said the biggest issue facing the school district is the COVID-19 pandemic – teaching and learning in the virtual world. Adequate training needs to be provided to teachers, and technology devices need to be provided to students and staff so they can learn remotely.

A second and related issue is the lack of equal access for students,

Patel said. All students should have the appropriate resources to be successful. Patel suggested renovating the schools to provide high tech teaching rooms and labs for students.

The third issue facing the school district is meeting the needs of the district’s diverse population.

“We have to ensure that all students are performing to their highest potential and that they are given the proper supports to be successful,” Patel said.

Proposed renovated warehouse approved by Cranbury Planning Board

By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer

A proposed renovation of a Prologis warehouse has received the stamp of approval from Cranbury’s Planning Board.

The planning board hearing for the application took place on Oct. 8, after facing some recent delays, which had forced the hearing to be pushed back from a rescheduled date of Sept. 10.

Chairman Peter Mavoides, Vice Chair Michael Kaiser, Mayor Matt Scott, Township Committeewoman Evelyn Spann, board member Judson Hamlin, and board member James Gallagher voted “yes” to approve the application with conditions.

Those conditions include: a post

occupancy parking demand study at the point of six months after the certificate of occupancy is issued for the space to show that there is adequate parking; and extending the length of the center crosswalk through a parking space inside the driveway of the area where trucks operate in and out of for safety.

“We feel strongly that we will be able to show through the study that the remaining parking spaces will be more than adequate for the proposed use,” Project Engineer Michael Rodrigues said.

The existing building, part of an industrial park, is comprised of more than 180,000 square feet of warehouse space and 35,000 square feet of office space, according to documents.

The renovation proposes a reduction in office space, an additional 13 dock doors on the building, a reconfiguring of the truck court and parking lot to accommodate for the new doors. Eighty one parking spaces will also be eliminated from the 169 existing spaces to allow for the additional loading docks.

Representatives for Prologis’s application had to revise their application site plans and information due to previous concerns raised by planning board members and professionals, specifically about changes being represented clearly through the plans and also having appropriate plans presented detailing items such as landscaping and lighting from previous hearings.

Revisions were made accord-

ing to application documents and included: a revised overall site plan with details on planting landscape locations on the property, parking spaces, and width of the crosswalks for pedestrians from the parking spaces; a revised stormwater management report that now includes a pre- and post-analysis of the area; a revised lighting plan was also added to the overall site plan, which provided the lighting contours and footcandle data; and featured additional signage and examples of signage that will be on the property.

Representatives said the tenant for the space is a traditional warehouse use for furniture and will occupy 100% of the renovated warehouse.

“So a lease is signed for five

years and scheduled to start depending on the completion of construction, November to mid-November, when the work is finished,” said Paul Rosen of Prologis. “We know they will have approximately 30 employees (office and warehouse), so we are pretty confident the parking issues for this user will not tax the revised parking that we are requesting.”

He added that he did not know at the time the volume of trucks that would be coming in an out of the warehouse.

The warehouse south of Half Acre Road sits on 27.7 acres and currently has 11 loading docks and 169 parking spaces for passenger vehicles, according to application documents.

Cranbury School District returns to in-person school instruction

By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer

SUBSCRIBE 732-254-7004

The Cranbury School resumed in-person instruction this week after starting the school year fully remote.

Members of the Board of Education had set Oct. 19 as the date for the return of a hybrid model for families that chose the in-person instruction as an option. The Board of Education delayed in-person instruction until Oct. 19, due to facilities issues and a substitute teacher shortage.

The facilities issues included developing a safe protocol to keep the doors open without damaging the physical integrity of the school’s

electronic door system and HVAC issues that had arisen in the summer cooling season. According to the school district, facilities issues have been addressed at this time.

The Cranbury School is experiencing a substitute shortage and only has three substitutes currently available to cover classes. The substitute teacher shortage means inperson classes would be at risk of being switched to remote learning at a moment’s notice, due to the inability to cover in-person classes.

Substitutes will not be teaching remotely at this time, according to

the school district.

Students in the hybrid model will still have virtual sessions in the afternoon from 2:00-3:15 p.m. each day, along with students who are in the fully remote option.

The hybrid schedule for students in the mornings from pre-K-3 (preschool students) is set to be Monday, Tuesday and Thursday each week from 8:45-11:15 a.m.; pre-K-4 (preschool students) will be in person Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday each week, also from 8:4511:15 a.m.; and grades Kindergarten to third are scheduled to be inperson Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday each week from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Students in grades four through eight have been assigned A/B learning cohorts for the hybrid model.

For example, Cohort A began inperson instruction on Oct. 19, with students attending on Monday and Tuesday and finishing the rest of the week remotely. Cohort B does not begin in-person starting until Oct. 22. Students in this section learn remotely Monday through Wednesday and return to in school learning from Thursday to Friday.

Wednesdays each week will be fully remote learning days to allow for deep cleaning of the school building.

Some of the school-instituted safety protocols include: tempera-

Early Breast Cancer Diagnosis Saves Lives

D

uring their lifetime, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, according to the American Cancer Society, and 1 in 39 will die from the disease.

However, most women can survive breast cancer if it is found and treated early. In fact, there are more than 3.5 million breast cancer survivors in the United States today, according to the American Cancer Society.

Getting regular screening tests is the most reliable way to find breast cancer early.

Non-urgent care at the Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center Breast Health Center was temporarily postponed several months ago due to COVID-19. Routine screenings and diagnostic mammograms have resumed, with extensive protocols in place to help ensure patient safety at this time.

Understanding the Risks Although many women who develop breast cancer have no risk factors, there are certain factors that increase your chances of developing the disease. Further, incidents of breast cancer increase with age.

Other risk factors include: • A history of breast conditions or prior breast cancer diagnosis • A family history of breast cancer, particularly at a young age • Beginning menstruation at an early age • Entering menopause at a later age • Having a child late in life or never being pregnant • Undergoing post-menopausal hormone therapy Screening Recommendations When women should begin regular mammograms and how often they should have them is a complex issue. Rec-

THE STATE WE’RE IN

ommendations for how early mammograms should begin and how frequently you should be screened depend on your personal and family history as well as your age.

The American College of Radiology, for one, recommends a screening mammography every year for women who are at average risk for breast cancer beginning at age 40. In general, it is thought that screening should continue annually as long as a woman is in good health, regardless of age.

It is important, however, to talk with your doctor about screening and what is appropriate for you.

For screening purposes, a woman is considered to be at average risk if she doesn’t have a personal history of breast cancer, a strong family history of breast cancer, or a genetic mutation known to increase risk of breast cancer (such as in a BRCA gene), and has not had chest radiation therapy before the age of 30.

Watch for These Signs Seek medical advice if you notice any of the following signs, even if you recently had a mammogram: • A lump or thickening in the breast that feels different than surrounding tissue • Changes in the shape, size or appearance of the breast • Changes in the skin over the breast, such as dimpling • Peeling or flaking of the skin around the nipple • A newly inverted nipple Designated Center of Excellence Between five and 10 percent of breast cancer cases are based on genetic mutations, and genetic testing, counseling and risk assessment are available at the Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center Breast Health Center through the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey LIFE Center.

The Breast Health Center is designated a Breast Health

Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology and holds a three-year accreditation from the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers, a program administered by the American College of Surgeons.

The Breast Health Center offers 3D mammography services, as well as ultrasound guided and stereotactic breast biopsy. In addition to this cutting-edge technology, the Breast Health Center provides the personalized services of breast health navigators, who help to guide patients after a breast cancer diagnosis.

Treatment for breast cancer varies from person to person and is increasingly more personalized and tailored to the specific cancer’s unique biological profile. No two cancers are treated the same. Some may require surgery, while others may be treated with targeted chemotherapy or radiation. Understanding the options — as well as risks and benefits — is a critical step in the treatment process.

Talk with Your Doctor As the American Cancer Society notes, finding breast cancer early and getting state-of-the-art cancer treatment are the most important strategies to prevent deaths from the disease. Breast cancer that is found early, when it is small and has not spread, is easier to treat successfully.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and is an opportune time for women to talk with their doctor about their risk for breast cancer and breast cancer screening.

For more information or to make an appointment, call 609-688-2700 or visit www.princetonhcs.org.

Rachel P. Dultz, M.D., F.A.C.S., is fellowship trained breast surgical oncologist and board certified surgeon as well as a fellow of the American College of Surgeons. She is the medical director of the Breast Health Center at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center.

New Jersey American Water verifies systems are COVID’s impact: The ‘burbs’ are back, retail is changing ot long ago, experts who track New Jersey’s land use The industry calls this increase “de-densification.” Post-pancompliant with lead, copper and development trends were putting the nail in the demic, Jim pointed out, how many people will feel safe and testing guidelines coffin of suburban sprawl. comfortable in a crowded workplace?

N

As recently as this past winter, indicators showed that millennials – the generation that is taking over the workforce, and marrying and having children – did not want suburban life. Instead, they wanted to live and work in more walkable, densely populated urban environments like Brooklyn, Hoboken and Jersey City.

Along came COVID-19, the lockdown and the shift to working, shopping and schooling from home. Suddenly the suburbs, with single-family houses and big yards, became the rage and the real estate market heated up.

“The bottom line is that the ‘burbs’ are back,” says Jim Hughes, the former dean of Rutgers University’s Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy and a nationally recognized expert on demographics, housing and regional economics.

Jim recently sat down with the New Jersey Conservation Foundation via video conference to discuss changes to New Jersey’s landscape since the COVID-19 pandemic started, and what the future might bring.

As he points out, no one could have predicted the changes roiling the world in 2020. The new year kicked off what seemed to be the next “Roaring Twenties,” with a strong U.S. economy and record employment.

With the March lockdown, schools switched to remote learning, most retail businesses shut down and one in five New Jersey jobs disappeared. For those lucky enough to have a job, nearly all but essential workers worked from home.

The pandemic was an “unforeseen assassin,” Jim said, wiping out 10 years’ worth of job growth.

“We were saving lives by sacrificing livelihoods,” he said.

As coronavirus rates dropped over the summer, many stores, restaurants and businesses reopened, while others succumbed to economic losses. Many schools reopened for inperson classes this fall, although some closed up again after experiencing COVID flare-ups.

What does a post-pandemic future hold for New Jersey?

Here are some of Jim’s thoughts: • The demise of commuting – Coronavirus, Jim said, exposed commuting to work by car or train to be “an outmoded system. Work is an activity, it’s not a place.”

He feels that “the least likely scenario” is that every organization will bring back every employee to work in an office – especially if many workers have long commutes. He predicts a mix of working from home and working from regional hubs or resource centers.

• Less crowded offices – Expect to see fewer employees sharing tight dense work spaces, said Jim. Pre-pandemic, the average office had about 200 square feet of space per employee and was continuing to shrink.

The trend now is probably 400 square feet per employee.

• Retail meltdown – In the retail world, Jim predicts a continued decline of brick and mortar stores as e-commerce surges. “Clicks have rapidly been replacing bricks,” he noted.

At the same time, massive warehouses and fulfillment centers for e-retailers are popping up all over, including a billion square feet in New Jersey. These warehouses can represent a new threat to open spaces, but many have been built on previously developed land such as old industrial parcels in Perth Amboy.

Fortunately, we do not have a shortage of such sites. Jim believes some of the state’s vacant shopping centers can be repurposed for the local stage of e-commerce delivery, known as “last-mile delivery.”

• Open space – Because of New Jersey’s excess retail and commercial infrastructure, Jim does not foresee a push toward more building in undeveloped areas.

It’s possible, he said, that the state may be able to get rid of some unneeded blacktop and restore those acres as green spaces.

Converting office parks to public nature parks has already been done in places like the Mount Rose Preserve in Mercer County, and the pandemic has deepened public appreciation for parks and open spaces.

• Solar power – One trend Jim finds disturbing is building solar facilities on productive farmland. “Why the heck would we do that when we have a billion square feet of rooftops?” he asked.

Since solar panels are becoming lighter and less expensive, he said, smart building owners will consider investing in rooftop systems.

“We could be the Saudi Arabia of solar power if we take advantage of our roof space,” he said.

• Home sweet home – Prior to the pandemic, many millennials were drawn to dense, walkable cities where they could live, work and play. But millennials – now 24 to 39 years old – had already started moving out to accommodate growing families.

“New York is a great place to live, unless you have two kids and are living in a shoebox,” Jim noted.

The pandemic accelerated the migration, as homes also became places for work, school, fitness and entertainment.

Whether the new popularity of suburbia is a long-term trend remains to be seen, said Jim. • New Jersey exodus – It also remains to be seen how the pandemic will affect the out-migration of New Jersey residents to other places. From 2010 to 2018, about 442,000 residents moved out of New Jersey, or 147 people a day.

“That’s a lot of housing that is not needed,” Jim commented. The out-migration has been somewhat offset by new residents from international immigration.

The only thing certain is more uncertainty as New Jersey and the world work to eliminate COVID-19.

Finally, the state has not come close to digesting this longlasting, pandemic-driven economic and demographic change.

It is possible that suburban residential development pressures will intensify, raising the specter of sprawl, a word that had been fading from use.

New Jersey may have to confront it again, hopefully in a much smarter fashion than in the post-war decades. Understanding these trends should help New Jersey reshape its future, rebuild more efficiently and get comfortable with a “new normal.”

New Jersey American Water has completed its required lead and copper sampling for 2020 and all systems tested meet state water quality regulations.

The company tested 13 water systems that are required to be tested between June and September, and all results show compliance with safe drinking water guidelines for lead and copper, the company announced on Oct. 16.

The company’s other 19 water systems are tested every three years in accordance with Department of Environmental Protection regulations and they are also in compliance, according to the statement.

HiTOPS Princeton Half Marathon will be a little different this year, as the race event has adapted to the new normal of COVID-19 by going fully virtual.

The race event, which previously gathered many to a central Princeton course location to run the 13.1-mile race, will now have participants run anywhere they chose, as they log their miles for the half marathon. The miles can be run in one day or through however many days the runners decide to log their miles to complete the event from Oct. 25 to Nov. 8.

“Through our website we actually have a place for where people can record their miles. They will click the link ‘log your miles’ on the website and are then able to submit the miles that they run,” said Annie Pasqua, senior manager development at HiTOPS. “If they run all 13.1 miles in one day, they can submit it there or they can revisit that link as many times as they need to record all 13.1 miles.”

was the LT1 convertible that carries a base sticker price of $66,400.

With a few options added and a $1,095 destination and delivery charge, my tester carried a bottom line sticker price of $70,880.

The added options on my tester included: $1,295 for carbon flash painted nacelles and body color convertible top; $1,195 for the performance exhaust; $500 for the Rapid Blue exterior paint job and $395 for the blue seat belts.

The editors at Car and Driver noted as high points of the new Vette: “Supercar performance at an amazing price, comfortable on the road and incredible on the track, much improved interior quality.”

Powering this new Corvette is the standard 6.2 liter, V-8 engine that puts out an impressive 490 horsepower and 470 pound feet of torque.

This car is plenty fast, folks. If you put it in the “track” mode it is incredibly fast.

In fact, the local police loved just tailing me just to see if I was going to misbehave in this beast.

Chevrolet officials claim that if you get the new Corvette equipped with the Z51 performance package, it then becomes the fastest Corvette in history – able to get from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds.

My overall driving impression after one week behind the wheel of this new Vette, is quite simply, “Wow!” – a totally exhilarating experience to drive one of these automotive wonders.

If you are itching to buy or lease one of these new Corvettes, it may not be as easy as you think. In some areas, there is as much as a one-year waiting list. In fact, some dealers are reported to be charging a market adjusted $10,000 to $20,000 over sticker premium on the car.

The EPA fuel consumption ratings on this Corvette give it an average of 19 miles per gallon – with 27 mpg on the highway and 15 in city driving.

The EPA estimates that the annual average fuel cost for driving this Corvette would be $5,250 as it uses about 5.3 gallons of fuel per every 100 miles driven.

If public reaction and head turning ability could be rated, I would have to give this new Corvette a solid 10 on a scale of 1 to 10.

I must honestly say, that in all my years of road testing cars for review, I have never seen a car turn as many heads as this one. Strangers would take pictures of it in parking lots. Fellow motorists would snap cell phone shots of it as you passed them by.

And, it was hard to go to the local Starbucks or supermarket without someone stopping me and wanting to talk about it.

Just a simply amazing reaction from the general motoring public.

But, it’s not just the exterior design that’s groundbreaking with this new Corvette, there is much more packed inside.

The most obvious groundbreaking new design with this 2020 Corvette, is that it is Chevrolet’s first ever production midengine Corvette. For 67 years prior, all Corvettes were produced as front engine, rear wheel drive roadsters.

Not this one.

“Corvette has always represented the pinnacle of innovation and boundary pushing at GM,” says GM president, Mark Reuss. “The traditional front-engine vehicle reached its limits of performance, necessitating the new layout. In terms of comfort and fun, it still looks and feels like a Corvette, but drives better than any vehicle in Corvette history,” he adds.

I would have to agree.

Most front engine, rear wheel drive roadsters I have driven, are no fun to drive in the rain or snow. Most of the time, you end up fishtailing all over the place. Not a very secure feeling.

Not with this new mid-engine Corvette.

The second day I had this tester, I ventured to take it out in a driving rain storm on Route 295. The mid-engine design worked extremely well. I selected the “weather” mode on the driving style selector and securely went 65 to 75 miles per hour in the rain without ever feeling unsafe.

The mid-engine design affords this sportster a very equal weight distribution.

There are several versions of the new Corvette, model wise. The one I drove

to remind them to log their miles for each day from late October to early November.

With an interactive online results tracking tool, there is also a leaderboard that shows who finished the half marathon and when based on the participant’s miles and times.

“It will also populate a map. For example, if you are running the miles in Princeton it would pop up and say you are currently on mile six at Washington Street Bridge,” Pasqua said. “As people log their miles they will be populated on the website and so at the end of the two weeks where people can log their miles, we will probably share on social media those results for people who are curious of where they fell in the final results.”

Top prizes this year for participants are three $150 gift cards to Hamilton Jewelers.

Instead of prizes going to the top three finishers of the half marathon for 2020’s race, anyone who finishes the race will have the opportunity to win.

The race also features a new addition in 2020 for youth to run virtually. Just RUN is for all young people up to age 18.

By Pam Hersh

Marvin Reed

had emailed renowned New Jersey political analyst Ingrid Reed about the Princeton Adult School/Princeton Public Library’s free, upcoming lectures that Ingrid organized and would host on the topic of the 2020 election. The email I received from her in return had nothing to do with the lecture series. Instead, she told me that Marvin Reed, her husband of nearly 61 years and partner in dynamic advocacy for democracy, had died on Monday, Oct. 12, 2020.

Marvin Reed, former Princeton Borough mayor, former chair of the Central Jersey Transportation Forum, and super citizen in the years following his stint as borough councilman and mayor, took community activism to the heights of excellence and civility. Marvin’s tireless work in Princeton and the Mercer County region, together with Ingrid’s work in the state, had the same goal – to make New Jersey’s governing entities accessible, honorable, and productive on behalf of the state’s residents.

On the very long list of accomplishments, I value one in particular. Marvin and Ingrid gave me a priceless gift – hope for my grandchildren’s future, even in these rather despairing times. My kids, one of whom is very active in local government and works as an affordable housing advocate, and the other, an urban planner running a downtown business advocacy organization, said that their career inspiration and desire to do something for their local community came from watching Marvin and Ingrid in action over the course of decades.

Marvin, who from 1985 to 2003 served first as Princeton Borough Council member and then mayor for 13 years, was both in office and out of office a strategic and always prepared decision maker, tackling all issues with steady commitment and determination to find a solution rather than to block

a solution. He had none of the splash and pizzazz of his predecessor Mayor Barbara Sigmund, famous for her colorful New Orleans style and exuberant personality. Marvin had no memorable wardrobe items or songs or poetry or colorful jokes or even off color ones – at least not in my presence. He seemed unconcerned about being memorable for anything other than getting things done for the town. He took on all the hard issues – public transportation, library/Hinds Plaza development, Spring Street parking garage, affordable housing, hospital relocation, sustainability, open space, the health of the downtown, community policing, social justice, parks and pathways, consolidation of the borough and township, town-gown relationship, planning, zoning, and regional traffic. Nothing was too daunting. He just stuck to it, negotiated, found creative compromises, made people mad, but that was okay with Marvin. He had one goal – to serve the people of his community with hard work and honesty and negotiate deals to accomplish something for the residents.

Marvin did for the town what great U.S secretaries of state have done for our country – take seemingly intractable problems and negotiate solutions.

Marvin was going to be the prototype for a town/gown sitcom that I wanted to write (but never did) with Justin Harmon, who served as Princeton University’s director of Communications at the same time as I was Princeton University’s director of Community and State Affairs. The problem we had with our hero mayor was that he had so few qualities that could be mocked. I had trouble making fun of him. The only quality we found humorous was his ability to work a room – negotiating with five people at once on different topics – always looking past the person with whom he was speaking for the next person with whom he needed to speak

and solve some problem. I had a fantasy of recruiting Bob Newhart to play the role of a Marvin Reed type of mayor.

Even when his health began to fail because of Parkinson’s disease, he still was eager to attend lectures and community meetings and engage in conversations on local issues. I occasionally would visit Marvin and Ingrid for dessert and coffee, after they moved out of Princeton where they had lived for more than 50 years, and settled at Stonebridge in Montgomery Township. During my last visit several months ago prior to the pandemic, Marvin had trouble speaking above a whisper. But when he spoke, he never complained or whined about his physical deterioration. He generally wanted to voice his opinion on some university project or Princeton’s transit service, one of his favorite topics. In 2016, Princeton governing officials launched a new freeB shuttle bus that was named in honor of Marvin Reed, who spearheaded the start-up of the municipal shuttle service.

There are countless organizations and causes to which I could make a donation in

Marvin’s honor. But I think I will donate to a cause that generally is not associated with Marvin -The Garden Theatre. Few people realize that it was Marvin’s negotiation 30 years ago with Princeton University and his effort to find a movie operator Destinta Theaters (prior to the current non-profit theater management corporation Renew Theaters) that saved the theater facility (owned

by Princeton University) from becoming a university office building. Marvin, who also was president of Downtown New Jersey from 1996-2001, knew how important a community theater was to the health of the community – and to his own health, since he was a movie buff.

The Garden was supposed to celebrate its 100th birthday this fall. Marvin, 11 years short of 100, was planning on celebrating that occasion. Neither made the celebration.

I hope that with community support the theater will survive COVID. I know, however, that Marvin’s legacy will live on through not only the institutions he influenced, but also the countless individuals – like my kids – whom he mentored and inspired.

HiTOPS Continued from Page 6A “Since primarily we are a half marathon and we didn’t have any other way for people to be involved. We decided to add this new component to focus on youth, since we are a youth-focused agency,” Pasqua said. “We wanted to do a youth run to encourage young people to be active. They do not have to run a set number of miles, we just want them to run, they would receive a medal for competing in this race.”

According to HiTOPS, registering for the half marathon event costs $45, and is $25 for the HiTOPS Youth Run. Registration has been extended so participants can continue to register through Nov. 8.

“The monies that are raised go to the youth we provide services for, as well as, the adults that care for them. We provide support services and education throughout the greater Mercer County area and it is critical that we use this race to increase awareness,” said Lisa Shelby, executive director of HiTOPS. Occurring each year, the half marathon is the nonprofit’s largest fundraiser and allows for the organization to provide programming to young people of all identities regarding sexual health education and LGBTQ+ support in Mercer County.

The fundraising goal for 2020 is a net of $50,000. HiTOPS seeks to raise the funds from registrations, sponsorships, and donations.

“The impact of the pandemic has only made circumstances worse for a lot of young people that we in particular work with,” Shelby said. “With all of the school closings and young people being more isolated, I think it is harder; potentially being in environments that are not safe and not being able to connect with their friends or their peers, especially for youth that identify as LGBTQ+. We knew we needed to pull out every stop to continue to support these kids.”

When planning began for the half marathon in January and with continued developments regarding the coronavirus pandemic, there was still no doubt that a race or event would take place for the organization in 2020.

“Unequivocally this was never in doubt. This is one of the biggest events that happens in the community on an annual basis and for HiTOPS this is our biggest annual fundraiser,” Shelby said. “We knew we would make this work no matter See HiTOPS, Page 11A

‘Joker’ turns from comedy to horror, writing latest thriller from his Princeton home

By JENNIFER AMATO Managing Editor

James S. “Murr” Murray of “Impractical Jokers” fame releases newest book, “Don’t Move”.

It may not be impossible to spot one of your favorite Tenderloins in the greater Princeton area.

James S. “Murr” Murray, one of the stars of “Impractical Jokers” and “The Misery Index” on truTV, moved to Princeton last fall with his fiancee. “[We’re] absolutely loving it,” Murr said. “My fiancée and I are huge fans of Witherspoon Grill. If it were up to us, we would be there every night.

“Having lived in New York City my entire life, it’s been wonderful to get out, finally breathe fresh air, and hike and kayak in the area. Staten Island was a great place to grow up – and that’s where I met my fellow Impractical Jokers – but Princeton is a great place to create our new life together and one day raise kids together.”

Although Murr is best known for his comedic acts and stunts on the popular truTV practical joke show, he said he got his degree in writing from Georgetown University and always dreamed of becoming an author one day.

“The success of ‘Impractical Jokers’ finally gave me the chance to start my alternate career as a novelist. Writing and improvisation are equally difficult, surprising and rewarding. But both represent my personality equally well. It’s all about affecting people in a fun, positive way through creativity of all kinds,” he said.

Murr said he grew up reading and watching thrillers, “so it was kind of a natural progression for my writing to spring from that early interest.” He said he enjoys “The Meg” by Steve Alten, “The Andromeda Strain” by Michael Crichton, and is a personal fan of R.L. Stine and Brad Meltzer.

They always say, “Write what you know” Murr said about delving into a career in horror writing.

His newest thriller, “Don’t Move,” was released on Oct. 20 – after being written from his home in Princeton. He also recorded the audiobook from there.

Megan Forrester has barely survived the unthinkable. Six months ago, she witnessed a horrific accident that killed her husband and son, and lives with the guilt of knowing she could have done more to save them.

Now, Megan hopes to mend the pieces of her broken spirit by attending a local church group’s annual camping trip. But the church group members — riddled with dark secrets of their own — make a catastrophic navigational mistake, leaving them stranded in an untouched canyon in

the West Virginian national forest.

Isolated from any chance of help or rescue, Megan and the others quickly realize why this side of the canyon has never been surveyed by mankind: it’s home to a terrifying prehistoric arachnid that patiently stalks its prey through even the slightest movement or vibration in the forest. And it’s desperate for a meal.

Grief-stricken and haunted by her tragic loss, Megan now faces her ultimate test of endurance. Can she outwit a bloodthirsty creature hellbent on ensuring that no one gets out alive? When a single wrong turn can mean death, she only has one option: DON’T MOVE. “I’m lucky enough to work with a wonderfully charming and British co-author named Darren Wearmouth. We also happen to be very close friends so we’re constantly calling each other to talk about our favorite scary movies or whatever we’ve watched that week,” Murr said.

“Both of our imaginations can run pretty wild, so we’ll start kicking around a few ideas. ‘Don’t Move’ was born out of one of those. It took us three months to write the entire book, which is a testament to just how well we work together.

“Our earlier series, the ‘Awakened’ trilogy, is a much larger world of characters and combines hordes of bloodthirsty monsters and evil international conspiracies. ‘Don’t Move’ is one contained story.

It’s much more like a classic, old school 1980s slasher movie. It’s all action and tension.

“And coming next year is another thriller – written right here in Princeton as well – called ‘The Stowaway,’ ” Murr said.

His advice for anyone pursuing a career in writing or publishing, or comedy or acting, starts with: Never quit.

“When the guys and I were first starting out, trying to get the show off the ground, the first network executive we met with said we weren’t ready for TV. “The next executive we met with told us were too old for TV, meaning we must have missed that sweet spot when we were absolutely perfect for TV. “Ten years later, we’re still going. The point is, don’t let anyone else limit or define your success. Always keep doing the things you love and one day, it will pay off,” Murr said.

Through the challenge that is the COVID-19 pandemic, Murr said he is trying to cope as best as possible.

“Well, just like everyone else, it’s been tough adjusting to this new world. We’ve found some comfort in raising money for charities and frontline workers who are out there keeping people healthy. Melyssa

and I are lucky that we’ve had all this extra time for planning our wedding!

“As for the Jokers, we’ve been filming a new TV show from home called ‘Impractical Jokers: Dinner Party.’ And we finally went back to work filming ‘Impractical Jokers’ as well. Thankfully, because I missed my friends dearly,” he said.

Murray is a writer, executive producer and actor, best known as “Murr” on the hit television show Impractical Jokers along with his comedy troupe, The Tenderloins. He has worked as the senior vice president of Development for NorthSouth Productions for over a decade and is the owner of Impractical Productions, LLC.

SPRAB reviews proposed renovations to former Princeton Packet building

By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer

A minor site plan application renovating the former Princeton Packet office building was recently reviewed by the Princeton Site Plan Review Advisory Board (SPRAB).

The proposed renovation is an adapted reuse of the current two-story building at 300 Witherspoon St., converting part of the existing structure to be the new home for a Capital Health primary care facility scheduled to open in 2021. The existing building is also being renovated to house additional office and retail space and is currently a little more than 20,000 square feet.

When renovations are completed the structure will be more than 25,000 square feet and an expansion of the building is not being proposed for the project. The improvements will be entirely within the building structure.

Part of the building has already been renovated for furniture and home décor store Homestead Princeton, which moved into its newest location in September.

The new Capital Health facility will occupy a little more than 7,000 square feet of existing space in the area once used by Princeton Packet for the printing press and packaging, as Homestead Princeton currently is occupying close to 3,400 square feet that was office and lobby space for the newspaper.

A date has not yet been announced for the Princeton Planning Board to review the application.

“This is essentially a revitalization project it is designed to update the existing building and parking area. There are tons of improvements, new elevators, improve-

ments to accessibility, car charging stations, bike parking, enhanced access and lighting,” said attorney Christopher DeGrezia, of law firm Faegre Drinker Biddle and Reath, representing project applicant 300 Witherspoon LLC, during the SPRAB meeting on Oct. 14. “This is essentially to make the site function and more viable.”

The applicant is looking to improve the remaining space not occupied by Homestead Princeton by also adding square footage to the second floor, which includes a 5,312-square-foot second floor office space area leased by Capital Health, above what will be the Capital Health Suite on the first floor.

“A total of about 25,900 square feet is the total square footage when we are done,” project architect Emmanuel Obiora said.

The interior entrance lobby is being renovated as well to add an elevator lobby to provide access to the second floor and American with Disabilities Act access.

“In the back (building) we are adding the floor area, and the front section we are adding a lobby with an elevator to be able to get into the second floor of the front section that is currently above what is the Homestead Princeton space,” Obiora said.

“Those two areas will have elevators in both the front and the back.”

The applicant is seeking variances for the project, including a rear yard setback for the trash enclosure; parking stalls (spaces), where 133 are required but 63 are being proposed; loading space; and signage.

“Also, with regard to the parking, we are including two electric vehicle stalls with accompanying charging stations at

those locations. The overall parking plan is close to what is existing today (62). At the rear of the site is the trash enclosure, an 18-by-18-foot area. We chose this location because it is clearly the furthest away from the frontage,” said James Chmielak, project engineer.

Prior to renovations and proposed improvements to the structure, the former Packet building had been sold to Helena May in 2016, after the Packet newspaper

was merged with Broad Street Media to form the operating company, Packet Media LLC. Since then, the building has one current occupant Homestead Princeton with another occupant set to be Capital Health next year. The applicant, 300 Witherspoon LLC, will look to lease the remaining renovated space not occupied by Homestead or Capital Health, according to a presentation before the SPRAB.

Voters asked to weigh in on legalized marijuana, tax credit for veterans, Another public question asks voters to approve or disapchanging legislative redistricting schedule prove an amendment to the state Constitution to extend a

By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

While voters are focused on the presidential election and their own local elections, they will also be asked to weigh in on public questions on the Nov. 3 general election ballot that would amend the New Jersey Constitution on a number of issues – chief among them, legalizing marijuana.

The ballot asks voters to approve or disapprove an amendment to the New Jersey Constitution to legalize marijuana.

Another amendment would expand property tax deductions or exemptions to peacetime military veterans.

If voters approve of an amendment to the New Jersey Constitution to allow the sale of cannabis – which is a form of marijuana – to adults, oversight would be provided by the Cannabis Regulatory Commission. The commission was established in 2019 to oversee the state’s medical marijuana program.

Cannabis would be sold in retail stores, and subject to the state sales tax. Municipalities also may impose a local tax on cannabis products, according to an interpretive statement that appears on the ballot.

CosmeticforDentistry

The New Jersey League of Women Voters analyzed the question, and suggested reasons why a voter might approve or disapprove it on the league’s website, www.Vote411.org.

Among the reasons for voting against legalizing marijuana is that its increased use could lead to more car crashes.

Drunk drivers can be detected by an alcohol Breathalyzer, but similar technology does not exist for detecting the level of impairment of a driver who uses marijuana.

Legalizing marijuana also could lead to overuse or abuse, as well as unintended access to those under 21 years old. Given that it would be taxed, the underground market for marijuana would likely still exist, according to www.Vote411.org.

It would be less expensive and not subject to the sales tax.

Finally, marijuana is still illegal at the federal level.

There are reasons to approve legalizing marijuana – starting with the prospect of creating jobs, increasing state sales tax revenue and possible local tax revenue. It would lead to reduced costs that arise from arresting, prosecuting and punishing people for cannabis-related offenses, according to www.Vote411.org.

Countering the argument that it is not possible to determine whether a driver has been impaired by marijuana use, specially trained police officers – drug recognition experts – can recognize drug effects. Also, regulating the sale of marijuana would ensure quality control, unlike marijuana sold on the underground market.

CLASSIC SMILES

OPTIONS FOR IMPLANT ANCHORS There are usually several options available when dealing with a “bad tooth” that needs extraction.

“Endosteal implants” are the most common type of artificial root system to hold a replacement tooth in place.

They are usually titanium screws that fit into the jaw and extrude through the gum.

If there is not enough viable jawbone to hold an endosteal implant, “subperiosteal implants” may be an option.

These implants are placed on or above the jawbone. Less common options include bone augmentation to restore the jawbone prior to implants; ridge expansion, which adds bone grafts to a bridge along the top of the jaw; and sinus augmentation, which adds bone below the sinus.

Implants allow people to enjoy a healthy and varied diet without the restrictions some denture wearers face, and they often bring a renewed

sense of self-confidence by eliminating the day-to-day frustrations and discomfort of ill-fitting dentures. People with implants often say they feel better, look better, and live better. If you think implants may be for you, call us, 609-924-8300, for a consultation. A visit to Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman, may be just what you need to enhance your quality of life. “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. The process of getting a tooth implant with an endosteal or other form of anchor usually takes several months and involves one or two oral surgeries.

$250 deduction on property taxes to include military veterans who served during peacetime. The deduction currently is only available to veterans who served during times of war, and to their surviving spouses.

The question also asks whether a full property tax exemption for disabled military veterans who suffered injuries during wartime should be extended to include veterans who became disabled during their peacetime military service.

Veterans who live in a continuing care retirement community would not be eligible for the full property tax exemption.

The reason to vote against it, according to www.Vote411. org., is that it would cost New Jersey about $13.6 million more from the Property Tax Relief Fund in 2020. The New Jersey Office of Legislative Services provided the estimated additional costs.

The reason to vote for the measure to extend property tax relief is that it is one way to recognize military veterans’ service to the United States of America, regardless whether they served during war or peace, according to www.Vote411.org.

The third ballot question asks for a Constitutional amendment to change the legislative redistricting schedule if census data is delayed.

Typically, New Jersey requires an Apportionment Commission to create new legislative districts in the year following the federal census. This means that New Jersey’s legislative districts are currently created and certified in years ending in one (2021). New Jersey holds legislative elections in years ending in one (2021), and a new map is in place in time for those elections. This is done to ensure that the districts most accurately represent the state’s population – how it has moved and changed.

This question asks voters if they approve delaying the certification of new legislative maps if census data is received after February 15 of the year ending in one (such as 2021). This delay would mean that New Jersey’s Apportionment Commission would have until March 1 of a year ending in two (2022) to create new legislative districts and state legislative elections would be held under the new map in years ending in three (beginning in 2023).

This would be a permanent change and this delayed scheduled would apply every time New Jersey received the Census data after Feb. 15.

The reasons a voter might vote “no,” according to www. vote411.com, focus on the population in New Jersey being more racially diverse than 10 years ago, and extending the current district lines for two years means that these populations will not be accurately reflected or politically represented for an additional two years; there are other solutions, such as changing the primary election date in 2021, switching from odd to even year elections, or using existing map for just one year; and since this change is permanent, this would limit flexibility in handling delays for future census counts not affected by a pandemic.

Reasons a voter might vote “yes,” according to www. vote411.org, include March 1, 2022, certification of new legislative district lines gives more time for the redistricting process in determining new legislative map; the proposed delay avoids compressing primary timelines, providing a normal timeframe after new districts are certified to field and run candidates for 2023; and the option prevents possible multiple one year terms and elections, such as an election in 2021 under the old map (if Census data was delayed), followed by a special election in 2022 and a regularly scheduled 2023 election.

New Jersey American Water customers can access their water quality report online anytime at www. newjerseyamwater.com, under Water Quality.

New Jersey American Water relies on the expertise of more than 800 professionals across the state, from plant operators and water quality professionals to engineers and water distribution professionals, to monitor and test the water, and maintain facilities and infrastructure across the state to support safe, efficient operations, according to the statement.

New Jersey American Water’s water treatment technology, combined with its aggressive infrastructure investment program that focuses on the replacement of aging water mains and service lines, work together to support the continued provision of high quality and reliable water service to customers, according to the statement. The company invests approximately $350 million annually to upgrade plants, pumps and pipes throughout its service areas.

Although lead is not present in the treated water leaving the company’s facilities or in the pipes in the distribution system, the company reminds customers there are additional steps people can take to help further protect themselves from lead particles that could be present in indoor plumbing, according to the statement. If a home was built before 1985, the plumbing system may contain leaded materials. To minimize possible exposure, experts recommend running the kitchen tap with cold water for 30 seconds to 2 minutes if it has gone unused for more than six hours.

HiTOPS Continued from Page 7A what. Lucky for us in 2019, we had already added a virtual component to the event, so we had that experience in our pocket. We were able to build off of that.”

Speaking with community advisors, which included the Princeton Police Department, plans for a virtual race were being crafted since March.

“As we began planning for the race in January and then the pandemic hit in March, we monitored and kept our ears to the ground. As we saw more and more organizations go to virtual races and events over the summer, we knew a virtual half marathon was possibility,” Shelby

said. “We worked on getting our ducks in a row during June and July to be ready to go virtual and decided that we would make that decision at the very beginning of July.”

She added that HiTOPS has received a great response for the event from sponsors and also has promising commitments from participants.

“People can run or walk in the event.

It has been really fun to see more youth join this event,” Shelby said. “We have strong community support and really affirms that so many people are coming out to support the work that we do.”

DEATH AWAY FROM HOME Death can seem even more overwhelming when it happens away from home. Once the local authorities have been notified, those traveling with the deceased are urged to stay with the body in order to help the local police department and medical examiner’s office.

It is also extremely helpful to place a call to the funeral director at home, who can coordinate with a funeral director in the travelers’ locale to arrange to cremate or embalm and transport the body back home. If a person has died without family or a traveling companion present, survivors should not fly out to the place of death. Instead, the hometown funeral director should be designated as point person, who can make the necessary identification.
