Moon sets on cherished Hopewell restaurant

As head pro at Springdale Golf Club, Keith Stewart takes pains to ensure that members enjoy themselves

A golfer is happy if a round of golf takes fewer than four hours. On Oct. 10, Keith Stewart will be shooting to get in 18 holes in about 75 minutes.

And when he’s done, he’ll play another round. If all goes well, that will also take about an hour and a quarter. Then he will play another round. And another, and another — and he still won’t be done.

For 10 years, the Hopewell resident has been the head golf professional at Springdale Golf Club. But on one day a year for the past 8 years, he and a few of others on his staff become what you might call marathon golfers. This year, Stewart and assistant pros Darren Bolton, Vince Ramagli and Robby Fenton will play 100 holes over about 6 and a half hours to raise money for two nonprofit organizations: Christine’s Hope For Kids (christineshope.org) and the New Jersey Golf Foundation’s Golf in Schools Program (njgolffoundation.org).

In the first seven years, the pros raised more than $85,000 for the two groups. Sponsors often pledge $1 per hole and the pros set a goal of 100 sponsors See FUN, Page 10

Invention earns HoVal junior national environmental award Presidential honor enhances teen scientist’s already impressive resume

By Joe eMansKi

At an age when many teens are taking courses to learn about ecology and biology, Sonja Michaluk is teaching them. At an age when many are just getting comfortable using highly technical devices needed

for field research, Michaluk is inventing them.

The Hopewell Valley Central High School junior has developed curricula on herpetology (the study of amphibians) and macroinvertebrates (tiny creatures that live in streams) which she uses to teach kids (and adults) at environmental fairs. She has presented research to the Academy of Natural Sciences, the New York Academy of Sciences and the National Geographic Society, among other places.

She has been the young-

est member of the Society for Freshwater Science since she joined it in 2014. And Encyclopedia Britannica asked her to write the definition of the word “macroinvertebrate,” which they published in 2016.

In a ceremony held in Washington in September, she received the President’s Environmental Youth Award, an honor the Department of Environmental Protection gives out to recognize outstanding environmental projects undertaken by students in grades K–12. It’s See MICHALUK, Page 6

Will Mooney had a goal in 2000: he wanted to open and own a restaurant in the town where he lived, and have that restaurant become a place where his young family could grow and become part of the fabric of a community. He remembers thinking: I’m just 15 years away from having a pretty good run.

By that standard, Mooney and his wife and business partner, artist Beth Ann Judge, had more than a pretty good run.

They had a great run—more than 17 years serving Hopewell Borough as a café, bakery, deli, caterer and sit-down restaurant—all three blocks away from their home.

But all good things must come to an end, as it will for the Mooney family after dining room service is completed on Sept. 29. Mooney and Judge have sold the building to a developer, a neighbor, who Mooney says has told him he has plans to lease the space to a See MOON, Page 8

Inbox Blake makes case for another term My name is Julie Blake, and I am proud to be the Democratic candidate for the Hopewell Township Committee.

My husband and I moved here with our two young children in 1999. In Hopewell Township, we found an affordable home in an excellent school district.

We have raised our son and daughter here and have grown to love all that Hopewell offers.

I have worked in education for over 20 years and have taught students from 6th grade through college. In 2007, I began working as a high school counselor in Hunterdon County. Every day I work with students and their families to help them navigate the transition to adulthood. This means providing students with resources and a safe place to learn.

In 2015, voters elected me to the Hopewell Township Committee, and it has been a great honor to spend the last three years working to ensure that our community continues to be an inviting and more affordable place to live.

With the help of countless community members and township professionals, we have found way to safeguard our finances, protect our environment, and improve public safety.

In 2015, the township hit Hopewell residents with a 5 percent increase in their taxes. My campaign focused on keeping our taxes low and being careful stewards of our public funds. Three years later, I am happy to report that we have kept tax increases to below a 2 percent average.

As a working mother, I understand why many consider leaving the community after their children have completed their education. It’s expensive to live here. Many families, like mine, don’t want to leave. We have enjoyed watching the Halloween parades, riding bikes in Rosedale Park, and chatting in the shade at Kunkel Park while waiting for art projects to dry. We like buying our corn at a local farm stand and wandering around the Hopewell Harvest Fair and seeing old friends. When we hike on Baldpate Mountain or stroll along the D&R Canal, we feel lucky to live here. Part of my role on the Hopewell Township Committee is protecting both the beauty and affordability of the township so that families can continue having these experiences.

We’ve made good strides, but our work is not complete.

As deputy mayor and an experienced Hopewell Township Committee member, I know the kind of leadership we need to keep spending low, to meet state and federal mandates, and to provide services to our residents. During my term, we have continued the fight against the PennEast Pipeline, preserved Open Space, kept tax increases to a minimum, and decreased our debt by over 15 percent. We have negotiated deals that will bring over $100 million in new revenues to the Township over the next three decades, without burdening existing taxpayers. We have taken major

steps to enhance our community.

I am a lifelong Democrat and am proud to come from a family with a tradition of service. My mother served her community as a social worker and teacher and my father served as a pilot in the Navy. I learned the values of honesty, collaboration, and service from both of them, values I will continue to bring to representing all residents of Hopewell Township.

We all know how important it is to vote on Nov. 6. We know how important it is to elect leaders who listen and lead.

We live and work together and every voice counts. I am committed to keeping Hopewell Township affordable, welcoming, and green.

Introduction to Kaiut Yoga with Marilynn Cowgill Mondays & Wednesdays in October 10/1/2018 - 10/31/2018 From: 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm

Julie Blake Blake is deputy mayor of Hopewell Township.

Did you hear the one about the deputy mayor who denied taking much-needed funding from the schools, even though she previously voted to shift schoolentitled revenue from our schools to the township? This occurred when she voted in favor of the Zaitz Tract property tax reduction to multibillion-dollar corporate real estate developer U.S. Homes.

If you had attended the Hopewell Township Committee Meeting on Aug. 27, you would have heard deputy mayor Julie Blake claim, “I wouldn’t take money from our students,” although her vote during the previous township committee meeting to approve a property tax abatement, also known as a payment-inlieu-of-taxes (PILOT), results in taking lots of money from our students.

She was not alone in hijacking schoolentitled revenue. She was joined by Democrats Mayor Kevin Kuchinski and Committee members Kristin McLaughlin and Michael Ruger. Only Republican John Hart voted to allow the schools their full funding.

How much school-entitled revenue did Deputy Mayor Blake and her Democrat-colleagues deprive from the schools? More than $56 million over 30 years. Let’s do the math. Each tax dollar is divided among different taxing entities. Schools receive approximately 60 percent of each tax dollar; the township receives approximately 13 percent with the county, fire district and open space also receiving a share. According to New Jersey comptroller A. Matthew Boxer in his 2010 report on municipal tax abatements, PILOT enables the township to transform its 13 percent share of those property taxes into a 95 percent share, with 5 per cent for the county and nothing for the school district. Since, over 30 years, the township will receive $93.5 million more than its standard entitlement, the schools will be deprived of $56.1 million (93.5 x 60 percent). And that’s no laughing matter.

WHY I PRACTICE YOGA...

I have loved and practiced yoga for most of my adult life. But it wasn’t until I found Kaiut yoga that I knew I had found a practice for the rest of my life. Kaiut focuses on the joints of the body, biomechanically targeting the restrictions that keep us from being flexible. I am a 400 hour certified teacher of Kaiut yoga and am excited to share this special gift with EVERY BODY! -Marilynn Cowgill, Yoga Teacher Registration Required: www.completehealthyoga.com

MICHALUK continued from Page 1 just one of many awards that Michaluk has won for her scientific accomplishments. In the spring, she won grand prize at the Mercer County Science and Engineering Fair, and was a finalist TH for TH ST the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair held in Pittsburgh.

At the ceremony for the President’s Environmental Youth Award, she spoke about the invention that has helped her garner many of these most recent awards. It’s a device that can be used by field researchers to preserve specimens collected in streams until they can be identified in a lab. This analysis is crucial to determining the ecological health of the streams and is used to aid researchers in developing conservation programs where they are most needed.

Her mother, Selina, says that after the ceremony, EPA staff were high fiving Michaluk and giving her feedback on her presentation. “People were saying, ‘You already do what we do,’” she says. Sonja Michaluk in Washington “People were giving her their business after receiving the President’s cards and asking her to keep in touch.”

would love to go into research science, working at a place like Cold Spring Harbor or the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

Stretz says it has been amazing to watch Michaluk’s love of the natural world turn into what looks like an amazing future opening up before her.

“We have a lot of kids who come through the educational programs at the watershed,” Stretz says. “But Sonja, she is always seeking out more education, more volunteer opportunities, more teaching opportunities.”

Stretz knows what you might be thinking about an unusually ambitious kid. She says it’s absolutely not the case.

“It’s not her parents pushing her,” she says. “She’s the one really pushing her parents. And they’re just really great in allowing her to take it where she wants.”

Nor is Sonja the only precocious one in the Michaluk family. Sister Charlotte, a seventh grader at Timberlane Middle School, is another inquisitive student and watershed volunteer. “She’s showing the same kind of awe at the most innocent things (as Sonja),” Stretz says.

“It’s like every time Sonja sees a salamander in the stream it’s like it’s the first time. Her eyes light up. And I think Charlotte is the same way. She is very sharp as well.”

Michaluk says she has been fortunate to have a number of mentors who have influenced her and continue to influence her on her scientific journey. She mentions Stretz and Steve Tuorto from the Watershed Institute, as well as Patricia Shanley, a researcher who she says really steered her interests in environmental conservation.

She also cites some of her science teachers from the Hopewell Valley Regional School District, including Karen Lucci, Loreen Holstein and Kelli Iannacone. And another mentor figure is Teresita Bastides-Heron, of Sustainable Lawrence, who she says has been instrumental in helping her become more comfortable teaching both kids and adults.

When she’s not taking part in groundbreaking research or being recognized for important innovations, Michaluk has other interests that she also likes to pursue. She writes poetry and also takes pride in her original artwork. Not surprisingly, she likes to work with natural materials like sand pebbles and seaweed.

Recently, she’s been making jewelry out of the cases left behind by the larva of the caddisfly. The larva use material from their environment to make the cases, and an artist can create unique designs by giving the larva different material to work with, including gold.

She also works with silicone, making works of art and other things. She once made a mermaid tail out of silicone, which could be worn over her legs like a prosthesis. “I’ve kind of outgrown it, but when I would wear it to the beach I would get the most interesting questions from little kids,” she says. “Like they’ll hand me seaweed and ask me if I want to eat it. One person asked me if I’ve ever been attacked by a shark. Most kids, I have learned, are more likely to listen to a supposed mermaid. So it’s a great way to get them to pay attention.”

She uses money she earns from winning awards to build up her inventory, and also uses holidays and birthdays as opportunities to ask for things that she needs for the lab. But by now, Selina says, her reputation has grown to the point where she is known in the scientific community. Organizations like the Watershed Institute and the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on Long Island donate items to her.

Erin Stretz, the assistant director of science and stewardship at the Watershed Institute, says that relationship goes both ways — and further illustrates both Michaluk’s scientific acumen and her ability to develop relationships. A few months back, she called up a Columbia University professor out of the blue and asked to to talk to her about salamanders. The pair struck up a relationship that has led Michaluk to develop a curriculum called “The Salamanders’ Dilemma: Stream Assessment as an Important Tool to Inform Decisions.”

Through the relationship with the Columbia professor, Michaluk gained access to tools at Columbia used for DNA sequencing, which she then offered to the Watershed Institute. “She finds all of these opportunities and just really lets them develop and doesn’t say no to anything,” Stretz says. “She’s always interested in what’s the next thing.” *** On a recent trip to Alaska, Michaluk went on a nature tour with her grandparents. People would ask questions, and she would answer every one correctly.

“The tour person was like, ‘Are you from Alaska?’” Selina recounts. “She said, ‘No, I read books.’”

As she’s gotten older and more experienced, Michaluk’s research has become gradually less experimental and more purposeful. Her work with salamanders has to do with their endangered place in the world and her desire to educate people about it. In the spring, she was featured in a video the Watershed Institute produced advocating for environmental sensitivity in the development of oil and gas pipelines.

She says she likes to help communities better understand what is happening in their environment, so they can make more informed decisions. She

MOON continued from Page 1 new restaurant in the near future.

Mooney and Judge bought the old Village Market at 7 W. Broad St. in October 2000, opening The Brothers Moon in March 2001. “We opened the doors and I was like, ‘Oh well, this better work, because I’m now in debt,’” a wry Mooney recalls.

Work it did. From day one, he says, things were rocking and rolling. At the time, the sleepy borough could lay claim to just three restaurants: the Hopewell Valley Inn, then a German restaurant; and two pizzerias, Antimo’s and Vincenzo’s.

“We were the first upscale restaurant in Hopewell,” he says. “Now we’re an upscale restaurant town.”

Son Liam was 3 months old when the couple bought the place. “I thought, wouldn’t it be great to live, work and raise a family in town?” Mooney says.

“My commute is three blocks. My kids went to Hopewell Elementary School during the day, and after school they came here in the back door, said hi to dad, stole some cookies, and they were out the front door. How great is that?”

Over the years, Mooney says, many people have inquired about buying the building. Each time, Mooney rebuffed them. That is until this spring, when Liam was on the verge of graduating from Hopewell Valley Central High School. Elder sister Aria was already graduated, a student at Temple University’s Tyler School of Art. Three separate groups inquired about the building through winter and spring.

Liam and Aria Mooney with parents Beth Ann Judge and Will Mooney outside the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia.

With the kids all but grown, Mooney and Judge decided the time was right to put the building on the market. They met with a listing agent who, despite the interest already shown, cautioned them that a sale would take at least a year.

The level of interest prospective buyers had shown was real, however, and a deal was struck in a matter of months.

Mooney expects to close on the deal in mid-October, two weeks shy of 18 years

since he bought it.

On Sept. 4, Mooney and Judge sent a message out to their mailing list that they would close at the end of the month.

“The Brothers Moon could not have been what it is without each and every one of you. We are forever grateful to our customers who have become like family and thank you for your ongoing support throughout the last 17+ years,” they wrote.

Throughout the month, many of his long loyal customers have stopped in once, or several times, to experience The Brothers Moon’s seasonal, farmto-table cuisine and signature desserts before it’s too late.

Some people were upset, he says, shocked at the unexpected development. “They’re like, what are we going to do now?” he says. Mooney calls the response to the closing announcement “pretty overwhelming.” One customer, he says, left her table one night recently and sat in her car for an extended period, overcome with the emotion of losing a favorite haunt.

He thinks of a family that has been taking their kids to the restaurant every year after the first day of school — 12 years of tradition for that family. Or a customer who had called in to order 30 brownies to pick up and store in his freezer.

Through the years, Mooney has established relationships with many of his customers, and has been reminiscing with many of them as they’ve come through for their parting meals and to wish him well.

“It’s impacted a lot of folks, which is both happy and sad,” he says. “It’s really heartwarming to see how much we’ve become a part of people’s families, but it’s a very emotional time for us and them.” *** Will Mooney grew up in East Brunswick. His father was a great gardener, he says, and that gave him his introduction into the world of food. Around the age of 15, he got a job working at a farm mar-

Chef Will Mooney of The Brothers Moon giving a cooking demo. ket. “That was my first job in food, and I never left,” he says.

He graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in 1989. In 1993, after a stint as a catering chef for Patina, a legendary Los Angeles restaurant, he returned to the area and settled in for two years at The Peacock Inn, rising from sous chef to executive chef.

In 1995, he became executive chef at The Stockton Inn, a job he held for two years. He followed that up with a stint at Wild Oats Market in Princeton, as chef and catering director, followed by a twoyear run at Bon Appetit in Princeton as executive chef and catering director.

It was around that time that he decided it was time to branch out on his own with The Brothers Moon. When he and Judge bought the building in 2000, it needed extensive remodeling to fit their vision. There was just the one dining area with room for 50 seats — half the space the restaurant had at closing — though it did have two professional kitchens, which they kept.

The Brothers Moon opened as a farmto-table restaurant before farm-to-table was a buzzy culinary term. Mooney established relationships with a variety of local farms to provide him with fresh produce and proteins. “I would go to the farms and say, what do you have? And

A scallop mousse with white beans, asparagus and shrimp bisque from The Brothers Moon.

what’s next? And they were like, what do you need?” From early on he would change his menu almost daily.

As more and more restaurants embraced the locavore movement, Mooney rode that wave. Increased interest in fresh, local, organic products was a boon to both restaurants and farms, Mooney says. “Restaurant growth and diversity over the last two decades really helped (farm) markets,” he says. “Diversity improves restaurants because the ingredients are right there for us to make more diverse recipes. And farms had to keep up, bring in different varieties, find out how to make the seasons last longer.”

One way to understand the journey both he and farmers have been on is to look at the tomato. “When I started there was the Rutgers tomato, and that was awesome,” he says. “Now they’ve brought back all these heirloom tomatoes that are so colorful and have so much flavor. It’s really been great.”

Over the years, Mooney also enhanced his menus by foraging for ingredients like chanterelle mushrooms, which grow in the wild. “Foraging is a walk in the woods that I get paid for,” he quips.

After The Brothers Moon was an established success, Mooney and Judge were able to break through the wall and add another dining room, doubling their capacity. Curt Schulte of Schulte Restorations helped turn a storage shed into a seamless extension of the original dining space, replete with a custom woodblock art installation that Judge did on one wall that will be dismantled after the restaurant closes so she and Mooney can take it with them.

The rise in celebrity chef culture can give one an impression that chefs spend a great deal of their time out of the kitchen on various public relations schmoozers. Not so for a chef-restaurateur like Mooney, who has regularly worked 6-day, 70-hour weeks helming his own kitchen. Through the years, pastry chef Cathy Mello has been responsible for many of the restaurant’s desserts.

Mooney has maintained relationships with many of his former employees, often local teens who were working for him as part-time or summer jobs. He says one of the hardest things about closing has been telling them that the restaurant is not going to be there any more.

Among his former staff members is Jess Niederer, who has gone on to own and operate her own farm, Chickadee Creek Farm, in Hopewell. Niederer was one of the first teens to work for Mooney at The Brothers Moon, and at the end she was one of his chief suppliers of produce, along with Sansone’s Farm Market, also in Hopewell.

Today Judge has her own jewelry business, Beth Ann Designs, on Seminary Avenue. She is also a teacher of family and consumer sciences at Timberlane Middle School.

Mooney says he’s not sure what his next chapter will be, although he’s sure he’ll stay in food. “I hate to say I don’t know anything else, but I don’t know anything else,” he says. “It’s going to be very odd for quite a while. It’s been a very comfortable place to cook. I’m grateful for all these years.”

What the heck is a

LIMITED DIVORCE? Many people are unaware that New Jersey has a marital status similar to “legal separation” known as a Limited Divorce (or Divorce from Bed & Board).

Under a Limited Divorce, the parties resolve all issues as if a divorce was granted (equitable distribution, support, custody). Taxes are filed separately. The parties are completely financially separate as far as the acquisition of future debts and assets, however “the bonds to matrimony still exist”, thus under many medical policies can continue to share medical insurance. If the parties reconcile in the future, the Limited Divorce is nullified. If they later divorce, the terms of the Limited Divorce are incorporated into a Judgment of Divorce.

For over 20 years, the Law Office of David Perry Davis, has specialized in Family Law (Divorce, Limited Divorce, custody, domestic violence, support).

Uncontested divorces (either Limited or full) and annulments are handled for a flat fee of $850 (plus court filing fee unless waived), are generally completed within 3-6 weeks and do not require a physical court appearance. Consultations are provided without charge and in complete confidence.

FUN continued from Page 1 apiece. For the first five years he actually played 150 holes in a day — which took him more than 10 hours, and necessitated a week of recovery time.

A mere hundred holes is more reasonable. “Needless to say, we are using riding carts when we play,” Stewart says. “At the completion of the entire marathon, your arms are pretty loose.” *** Above the door of Keith Stewart’s office is a sign that reads: Director of Fun. That might give you some idea of the kind of vibe he brings to his job as head professional at Springdale.

As a PGA professional, Stewart’s mandate is to administer the many golf programs available to members of the private club, which was founded in 1896 by students, alumni and faculty of Princeton University. He and his staff give some 600 lessons a year in addition to running the pro shop, numerous clinics, tournaments and other golf events. “As pros of the club, we put the pro in proactivity,” he says. “We’re constantly looking for new and exciting ways to present golf to our members.”

And yet somehow, he also manages to find time to be the Director of Fun as well. So what does a Director of Fun do?

“Being the Director of Fun is about creating an atmoshere where people just want to come back,” he says. “The world, quite frankly these days, is anxious and stressed and fast moving. Everyone’s got so much going on that when they come to the club, they should be able to focus on having fun and playing golf.”

Stewart says he and his staff work hard to create a “destination mentality” at the club. “What I mean by that is, we didn’t want to be a rest stop on the turnpike. We want to be Long Beach Island, where someone will hang out for the week,” he says. “People have so much going on all the time that distract them from their entertainment time, which is what we are. We have to make sure everything we do as a staff, we make it fun, cool and exciting.”

Stewart says the Springdale story is compelling as well. The course, originally designed in the early 20th century

by Willie Dunn, Jr., got a major makeover in the late 20’s by golf architect William Flynn, who did design work on famous golf courses such as Shinnecock Hills, Merion and Pine Valley.

“It’s a fascinating place that unfortunately not enough people know about,” Stewart says. “When people dig into the Springdale story, it’s pretty cool. How many people who are golf pros go to work at a course that has given Albert Einstein his only golf lesson? That has had multiple presidents play there, and that has had George Washington sleep there during the Battle of Princeton?”

Originally from Edison, Stewart started pursuing a career as a golf professional back in 1997, when he got a job at Brae Burn Country Club, outside Boston. Though he had played lacrosse in high school and at College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts, he had played golf competitively in his youth, and golf was where he decided he wanted to forge a career.

Stewart left Brae Burn to become an assistant pro at Isleworth, in Windemere, Florida, from 1998 to 2003.

Isleworth was a bit famous at the time because it was the home course of one Tiger Woods, just then ascending to his position as possibly the greatest golfer of all time.

“It was pretty cool,” Stewart says.

“People used to ask me all the time, ‘How good is Tiger Woods at golf?’ I would say, ‘Tiger Woods is better at golf than I am at breathing.’”

Woods won three of the four majors on the PGA Tour in 2000, one of the years that Stewart was there. “It was great to get to know him,” he says. “He was a great person. He was great to the staff. I couldn’t say enough about him.”

Woods has struggled with injury in recent years, but a recent comeback culminated last month in a victory at the PGA Tour Championship, Woods’ first See FUN, Page 15

As a hepato-bilio-pancreatic surgeon focused on treating benign digestive conditions and cancers in the liver, pancreas and bile duct, Dr. Doria has pioneered new techniques for conditions that were once considered untreatable.

In addition to his cutting-edge clinical work, Dr. Doria has held faculty positions at hospitals in Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and Temple University in Philadelphia, PA and the Department of Veteran Affairs Medical Center and the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, PA. His research has appeared in numerous publications and presentations.

NEW MEDICAL DIRECTOR FOR CANCER CENTER DR. CATALDO DORIA has been named medical director of the Capital Health Cancer Center at Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell. Dr. Doria is an internationally renowned surgeon who specializes in the treatment of patients with benign conditions and cancer of the liver, pancreas, and bile duct.

He comes to Capital Health from Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, PA, where he served as the surgical director of the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center–Jefferson Liver Tumor Center at Jefferson Medical College and director of the Jefferson Transplant Institute.

As director of the Capital Health Cancer Center, Dr. Doria will oversee clinical operations including disease-specific clinical performance groups, clinical research, and cancer

Dr. Doria received his medical degree at University of Perugia School of Medicine, where he also completed his internship and residency. He completed a research fellowship and a clinical fellowship at the Pittsburgh Transplantation Institute, part of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in Pittsburgh, PA. Dr. Doria also completed a clinical fellowship in living donor liver transplantation at the Organ Transplantation Center, part of Asan Medical Center in Seoul, South Korea.

Innovative Procedures

liver

Dr. Doria performs these innovative procedures to treat benign conditions and cancers in the liver, pancreas, and bile duct: BLOODLESS LIVER SURGERY: An ultrasonic device suctions out liver cells, immediately followed by a probe that uses hot, sterile water to seal the pancreas liver’s blood vessels upon contact. This bile duct means significantly reduced surgical and recovery times (complete recovery within as little as one month).

LIVER AUTO-TRANSPLANTATION: In cases where patients have liver cancer that is too extensive to be removed while the liver is in the body, Dr. Doria and his team can remove the liver, remove the cancer, and reimplant the healthy portion of the organ.

ROBOTIC-ASSISTED HEPATOBILIARY SURGERY: With the minimally invasive da Vinci® Surgery System, Dr. Doria uses miniaturized wristed instruments and a high-definition 3D camera that are inserted through small incisions (roughly the size of a dime). Working at the da Vinci® console, Dr. Doria’s hand movements are translated into precise actions that remove cancer in the liver, pancreas and bile duct. These procedures also require less anesthesia than major, open surgery, which means patients are at even less risk for complications.

Opioid Recovery Program for Pregnant Women Addresses Issues Highlighted in CDC Report According to a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number of pregnant women with opioid use disorder (OUD) at labor and delivery increased significantly over a 15-year span covering 1999 to 2014. Based on information from 28 reporting states, the national rate increased from 1.5 per 1,000 in 1994 to 6.5 per 1,000 over the course of the 15-year span.

Although New Jersey’s increase (4.1 per 1,000 in 1999 to 5.6 per 1,000 in 2014) was lower than the national rate, the study shows an increasing need to address this destructive epidemic.

In the past year, Capital Health and longtime partners at the Trenton Health Team, the Rescue Mission, HomeFront, and Catholic Charities Diocese of Trenton have offered For My Baby and Me, a grant-based program that provides specialized care for pregnant women and new mothers who are struggling with opioid use disorder. Funded by the New Jersey Department of Health, the program promotes long-term recovery as well as ongoing medical care and support for women and their children.

“Opioid use disorder during pregnancy opens the door for many possible negative health outcomes for mothers and their babies,” said Dr. Eric Schwartz, executive director of the Capital Health

Institute for Urban Care. “Our program’s community-based, collaborative approach helps ensure that pregnant women and new mothers with OUD receive the care they need to improve the likelihood of a sustained recovery.”

In order to more effectively address OUD in pregnant women, the CDC made several recommendations including: … Implementing universal substance use screening at the first prenatal visit … Ensuring pregnant women with OUD have access to medication-assisted therapy and related addiction services … Making sure mothers with OUD receive adequate patient-centered postpartum care, including mental health and

substance use treatment, relapseprevention programs and family planning services.

For My Baby and Me employs a threestep process: … Identify women and children at risk. … Connect them with care providers, including a licensed clinical alcohol and drug counselor, and partners to provide opioid recovery treatment, safe housing, legal services, child care and other support as needed. … Treat patients by providing prenatal care and pediatric care for their children.

in New Jersey to Offer FDA-Approved EMBOTRAP II STENT RETRIEVER for Ischemic Stroke Patients

Capital Health is the first hospital in New Jersey, and among the first in the United States, to use the new EMBOTRAP II Revascularization Device since its recent approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) this summer. As part of its Comprehensive Stroke Center, certified

by The Joint Commission, neurosurgeons from Capital Health’s Capital Institute for Neurosciences use this next generation stent-retriever to safely remove a blood clot from an artery in the brain that is causing a stroke.

“EMBOTRAP II is the latest advance in mechanical thrombectomy for restoring blood flow to the brain and improving outcomes for patients who are suffering an ischemic stroke as a result of a large blood vessel blockage,” said Dr. Vernard Fennell, a fellowship trained cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgeon at Capital Institute for Neurosciences’ Stroke and Cerebrovascular Center. Dr. Fennell was also

involved in some of the initial research on the device’s design.

“As one of the tools that we use to treat ischemic stroke, EMBOTRAP II has a design that has been shown to trap clots that are causing the blockage of blood flow in the brain while retaining its shape, making it faster and more effective at retrieving the clot, restoring blood flow to the brain, and ultimately providing a better outcome,” he said.

Stroke is a leading cause of disability and the fifth leading cause of death in the United States. Neurosurgeons from the Capital Institute for Neuroscience’s Stroke & Cerebrovascular Center are trained to use state-of-the-art devices such as EMBOTRAP II to provide the most advanced, comprehensive stroke care to patients in Central New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania.

Springdale Golf Club head PGA professional Keith Stewart in the studio doing his weekly radio show on Fox Sports Radio 920 AM—The Jersey.

FUN continued from Page 10 win in 5 years. Stewart has a collection of Woods memorabilia in his office. He says the comeback has been great for the game. He hopes another generation gets to see Woods’ greatness and get excited like previous generations did when Woods burst on the scene in 1997.

“He’s great for the game. He’s great for people in my position. In any given Sunday when he’s in the hunt, my phone just blows up. The club is electric,” he says.

Stewart left Windemere for a club in Rhode Island. Then in 2009 he came to Springdale. He and wife Laurie settled in Hopewell Borough in 2010 and still live there today. Son Owen is 10, and daughter Abigail, 8, attend Hopewell Elementary School. Laurie also works in the golf business, doing sales rep support.

Stewart takes understandable pride in the junior program he and his staff of assistant pros have created and nurtured at Springdale. This including the club’s PGA Jr. League team. PGA Jr. League is open to kids age 13 and under, and notably, is open even to kids whose families are not members. Participants play in nine-hole, best-ball team matches against players from other area clubs.

The teams are coaches by assistant pros.

“I don’t mind telling my members my staff hasn’t lost in four seasons,” Stewart says. “Our kids are really really good.”

Stewart and his staff have embraced a player-development program called Operation 36, which is designed to help golfers improve while also providing a framework for family-friendly golf.

The program is designed to get players shooting scores of 36 for 9 holes, starting from shorter distances. Players might start each hole 50 yards from the green, trying to hole out in four strokes or fewer each time. Once they are able to do that, they move back a certain distance and try to do the same.

He says youth programs and a family-friendly attitude at Springdale has injected new life into the club. “We continue to get younger, newer members and that’s become the lifeblood of the club,” he says. “Before I got here, there

was no organized junior golf program.

Now there are 60 or 70 families involved.” *** Since April, Stewart has added radio show host to his weekly duties — hosting a show called Springdale Golf Live every Friday at 3 p.m. on 920 The Jersey Fox Sports Radio (WNJE-AM). Each week he interviews a guest from the greater golf world.

Stewart has been able to attract varied and interesting guests to the show, like United States golf historian Mike Trostel and Carnoustie Golf Links head professional Colin Sinclair. He has even gone on location a number of times for shows, interviewing PGA of America secretary Jim Richerson at the PGA Championship in St. Louis, and PGA director of instruction Jason Carbone at Baltusrol Golf Club in North Jersey.

“I was looking into ways I could better promote the game of golf as a PGA professsional,” Stewart says of the show.

“I had done a number of guests spots on Fox Sports Radio or the Sirius XM PGA Tour Network. I have a passion for communicating the game and thought it would be something I would be skilled at, but it took about a year to convince the people over at Fox Sports what I’m capable of doing.”

He says he gets positive feedback every week. “The design of the show is to show that we are the coolest club in town. It’s just another example of how we’re looking at the big picture in Springdale and making it cool and fun, 2018 and beyond,” he says.

Past shows are available to listen to in podcast form on iTunes and other places where podcasts can be found.

In addition to hosting the 100-hole marathon, Springdale will also host the Christine’s Hope For Kids annual golf outing on Oct. 1. Christine’s Hope was founded by Springdale members and Hopewell Valley residents Jean and John Gianacaci in 2010, after their daughter Christine, on a humanitarian mission to Haiti, was killed in an earthquake.

every two weeks. Today’s learners don’t respond to that and a good teacher recognizes this and reacts to it. Terms like student-centered learning, personalized learning, inquiry, blended learning, and STEAM are beginning to take hold on a large scale, and I think the effects will be overwhelmingly positive.

Teachers are placing emphasis on showing students how to think, rather than just sharing information. This is much more valuable in today’s world, where data is constantly available at our fingertips. Teachers are recognizing that students learn differently and should be given options for how to learn.

In some cases, students are even given options for how to demonstrate their learning. Traditional multiplechoice tests are just one of many ways that a student can share the knowledge they have gained. Also, interdisciplinary approaches that connect science with math, engineering, and art are being used. In the real world, very few careers involve just one area of academic study, and education should replicate that.

Third, they have the ability to balance technology with time-tested methodology. I think technology is great and is drastically changing what teachers can do. It has enabled me to stop delivering content while in class, instead having students watch videos at home. Time in school is spent working in groups and providing students with the support they need in the application of knowledge and critical thinking.

This has been tremendously successful and is just one example of how technology is reshaping what teachers do.

Despite this, a good teacher still recognizes that there is a time when students should write things by hand, draw on a piece of paper, build a model with aluminum foil, or speak with another person face-to-face. Balancing the tech world with the real world is an important skill.

Finally, a great teacher shows compassion while maintaining limits. This is the hardest part of teaching. An expert teacher should be able to establish a comfortable rapport with students while maintaining a level of respect and separation that is necessary to run a classroom.

Students should feel comfortable and at ease with their teacher, but also know and respect the limits of that relationship.

At the highest levels, teachers establish an environment where students monitor their own and each other’s behavior, without much teacher intervention at all. I have always been proud of my ability to establish a comfortable rapport with students while maintaining their respect. But it is something that I must constantly work at.”

Adaptable McNulty always improving for Hun soccer

By Rich Fisher

L A S V I T E

OCTOBER 13th & 14th 10am-5pm

Sports

Make no mistake about it: Liv McNulty is a very good soccer player, be it for the Hun School or her YardleyMakefield Soccer club.

But to hear her talk, she never felt that way when starting out with either of those teams.

“My freshman year (at Hun), I was very nervous and didn’t have a lot of confidence,” the Hopewell Township resident and Timberlane Middle School graduate said. “I was always playing with the older girls, I wanted everything just to be perfect. When I messed up a pass or missed a ball, I would be really hard on myself. It wasn’t like I was I was necessarily bad or anything. It was just, I could never stay in the game without getting on myself.”

And then there was her foray into YMS, when she moved to defense after playing forward in Ewing Recreation and for Player Development Academy.

“I came in as a forward/offensive midfielder and this one time at a tournament coach put me at outside back,” McNulty recalled. “I was like ‘Oh my God, I have no idea what I’m doing! I don’t’ play outside back.’ I cried to my parents, I was like ‘I don’t want to play this position, she keeps putting me there, I don’t know what to do.’ I absolutely hated it.”

But then, she grew to love it. And now, she says she wouldn’t want to play anywhere else. And she has not played anywhere else, as it is the position she has held down throughout her Hun career.

Which, by the way, became more fun once she had a talk with herself after that freshman season.

“Over the summer, in club, I just learned not to be so hard on myself and know that mistake are going to happen,” McNulty said. “Going into sophomore year that mentality just helped me grow as a player.”

The growth has never stopped, as Raiders coach Joanna Hallac noted.

“Liv has done a really nice job of being on this nice upward trajectory her entire career,” Hallac said. “She was always a solid player, but every year she comes back better, stronger, faster and technically more sound. She has a better understanding of the game. I really commend her dedication to the game and her improvement.”

McNulty was quick to point out that Hallac helped her advancement, saying, “she always believed in me which always let me feel I was good. She always made sure that I knew what I was doing was OK; and when I made a mistake she let me know, which she had every right to do.”

There were a few mistakes early on but that was to be expected. After being a scoring machine at Timberlane, she was suddenly asked to prevent goals rather than score them. Hallac felt that technically, Liv was sound but needed some improvement, and that she was also a bit error-prone and judgmentprone. Size was an issue as well, as even now she only stands at 5-foot-2.

But McNulty’s strong work ethic gained her a starting role as a sophomore that she never relinquished. Liv has committed to play for Franklin & Marshall University next year. But for now, she and goalie Leah Sutphen are the captains and anchors in the back for Hun, which started the season 2-0 after sharing the Mid-Atlantic Prep League title last season.

“She’s just a natural leader and really great at supporting the younger kids and holding the kids accountable,” Hallac said. “She’s definitely a real role model on the field but I think even more so off the field. In school she takes on a lot of leadership roles. I think the girls really look up to her for that.”

McNulty is a “fantastic defender,” Sutphen says. “I can always rely on her for not letting anyone down the sideline, and transitioning the ball up the field to create plays,” she said. “Liv and I have known

(Staff photo by Samantha Sciarrotta.) each other for six years, because we played travel ball together since 7th grade. The chemistry between us is amazing because we have been through so much, and have grown up together in a way.”

Although she has not scored a goal in high school, McNulty is still dangerous making runs up the flank and helping put pressure on

opposing goalies. And while she says that is her favorite part of playing on the outside, Liv realizes her main function is to defend.

“She has good instincts,” Hallac said. “She kind of knows when to go in for a tackle, when to wait for help and be patient. I think that’s where her instincts help her be a good defender. She’s also vocal and

helps her teammates if they’re out of position.”

What Hallac calls instincts, McNulty refers to as discipline.

“It’s the key to being a good defender,” she said. “Especially when a player is coming down the line. You don’t want to dive in, or they’ll go right around you. Or they might pass it. But you also can’t be too late coming on them or they can still go around you. So it’s definitely discipline and finding the right moment.”

Which, in a way, is a combination of instinct and faith in one’s self.

“It can be instinctive but no one’s perfect at it,” McNulty said. “It’s just something you need to constantly be practicing and something to you need to be confident in yourself. If you’re not confident, you’re not gonna win the ball.”

And her confidence never wavers, despite being one of the smallest players on the field.

“I always wished I was taller, but that’s something that’s never gonna change,” McNulty said with a laugh. “You just have to acclimate to it. I know most of my competition is always going to be taller than me but I never really let it get in the way. I’m always going to go for those balls. It doesn’t change anything in the game. It’s just a height, it means nothing to me.”

Hard to believe she’s the same girl with all those self-doubts four long years ago.

Rider’s accounting program ranked amongst top in U.S. Fourth national recognition this year Rider University’s accounting program was included in The Best Accounting Degree Programs 2018 list compiled by Best Value Schools.

Best Value Schools researches thousands of colleges and universities to compile lists of the best schools that meet the most important needs of students.

The purpose of the list was to provide students with the best chance at receiving a great education by listing schools that excel at providing quality educations, whether online or in traditional format.

Rider offers an undergraduate degree in accounting and a Master of Accountancy program (MAcc). The online MAcc program received three national rankings this year alone. Known for its accelerated curriculum, the program can be completed in 16 months.

For undergraduates, the accounting program offers an active summer internship program as well as a semester long co-op program, both emphasizing the importance of students engaging in the professional environment.

Former Pennsylvania governor joins Rider as executive in residence Gov. Mark Schweiker to share unique, proven experience with University’s Homeland Security program Former Pennsylvania Gov. Mark Schweiker has been appointed executive in residence to Rider University’s Department of Political Science. Schweiker will share his considerable emergency management, crisis response and counterterrorism experience to support the University’s homeland security program.

Schweiker was the only U.S. governor to assume his position as a result of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. At his direction, Pennsylvania created the Office of Homeland Security. His administration also increased the security of state government facilities and its internet network, public venues, airports and nuclear power plants. He gained worldwide recognition in 2002 for leading a successful rescue of nine miners trapped in Quecreek, Somerset County.

Survey: 98% of Class of 2017 are employed, in graduate school or volunteering Number represents an increase over the impressive results of 2016 Within six months of graduation, 98 percent of Rider University’s undergraduate Class of 2017 was employed, pursuing graduate study or volunteering, according to an alumni survey conducted by Rider’s Career Development and Success. In total, the number represents a five percent increase over the impressive results of the previous class, which found that 93 percent of alumni from the Class of 2016 had gained employment, graduate study or volunteer work.

“The success of the Class of 2017 reflects the University’s commitment to preparing students for successful professional careers that reward the time and energy they have dedicated to their education,” says Kim Barberich, executive director of Career Development and Success.

The majority of respondents were employed, with 17 percent in graduate school and one percent volunteering. Close to 150 employers have hired alumni of the Class of 2017, including Ernst & Young, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, ESPN, Yelp, the New York Attorney General’s Office, the U.S. Department of Defense, the Walt Disney Company and Sesame Place, to name just a few.

Of those who earned a graduate degree from Rider in 2017, 95 percent were employed and five percent were pursuing further graduate studies.

Nearly three out of four alumni who responded to the survey and are now employed benefitted from hands-on experience through internships, co-ops or student teaching placements while at Rider.

Rider graduate admitted to exclusive Johnson & Johnson program Rushae Glover ‘18 to participate in Global Operations Leadership Development Program Prior to graduation, global supply chain management, international business and marketing major Rushae Glover ’18 secured a full-time position within Johnson & Johnson’s exclusive Global Operations Leadership Development (GOLD) program.

Johnson & Johnson’s GOLD program helps recent graduates accelerate their career growth within the organization through a two-and-a-half-year program designed to expose them to various aspects of global supply chain management. Participants in the highly selective program combine classroom and online training with rotational job placements focused on their interests.

Upon Glover’s successful completion of the program, she will move into a higher-level leadership position within Johnson & Johnson.

Rider partners with U.S. Satellite Laboratory Program will integrate authentic data from NASA exploration in effort to increase STEM teachers Rider University is partnering with the U.S. Satellite Laboratory (USSL) to further develop science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) teachers.

Students in the Master of Arts and certificate programs in teacher leadership will be able to specialize in STEM by taking courses directly through USSL beginning this fall.

USSL is dedicated to developing leaders in STEM and supporting teachers by providing authentic contexts for learning science and math content. It delivers live, online graduate courses for classroom teachers that support the

integration of real-world data available from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Master of Arts and certificate students will learn how to enhance STEM K-12 teaching by engaging students in the current contexts of ocean, space and the changing world climate, according to Dean of the College of Education and Human Services Dr. Sharon Sherman.

“The quality of the math and science courses USSL

offers is outstanding,” she says. “Our students will not only deepen their knowledge of leadership skills necessary for teachers, but they will also become further immersed in their subject matter.”

Beginning in the fall semester, Rider will offer five courses through USSL, including Methods of STEM Education. Each semester a suite of elective courses will be available.

SCHORE TO PLEASE

Feeling drafty

By Robin Schore With Veterans Day only a month away, perhaps it is time to consider reviving the Draft.

I was drafted in October 1965 along with 100,000 other young men that month. I was a recent college graduate, tired of being in school, with a job so dismal that it didn’t even qualify as dead-end.

In the Army, I served a most unglamorous, often tedious, but thoroughly democratic two years. My starting salary was $78 per month with as much mediocre food as I could eat.

In basic training, hunger was cultivated by requiring us to swing across 20 feet of overhead monkey bars before entering the mess hall. Comfort was exemplified by a double decker bunk and showers with hot water that lasted, maybe, for one recruit.

The military was a great leveler. My basic training colleagues came from a wide range of backgrounds including farmers, floor scrapers, upholsterers, plumbers, cops and dishwashers.

Some had been given the choice of the Army or jail. Some could read.

A few young men had never been to a dentist. On his first visit, one private had all his teeth pulled. One rarely bruited aspect of the military is that it is the sole locus of socialized medicine in America. That’s right, free medical care for everyone.

Among my fellow draftees was a country lad from Mississippi, the state which makes everywhere else in the country look good. He sent his whole $78 salary home to his girlfriend. He said he’d impregnated her in the back of his pick-up.

Another draftee was discharged quickly for “failure to adjust.” He had trouble dressing himself. He was clearly “on the spectrum,” except it wasn’t clear that anyone knew about the spectrum in 1965.

I got to fire a lot of fancy weapons in the Army. In addition to rifles, I got to shoot .45 caliber revolvers, .50 caliber machine guns, grenade launchers and mortars.

Although I had little interest in weaponry since putting away my cap guns at age 10, if any need to shoot remained, the firing range filled that void.

The military also provided the broadening experience of travel. I cherished weekend round trips between Fort Dix and Port Authority in NYC. The hardest part of that journey was climbing back on the bus Sunday night to return to my deadly military police clerical job filling out endless forms using a manual type-

writer, a job that engendered a lifelong sympathy for people holding down terrible jobs.

I also got to travel by train from Philadelphia to Fort Leavenworth, handcuffed to a young man who had burglarized a PX in Germany. (“Mommy, why are those men chained together?”)

Along with being a great democratizer, ultimately the draft was also a force for peace. It is a reasonable conclusion that the Vietnam War ended when deferments ended and white middle class boys started getting killed along with the former casualties—working class whites and people of color. Parents who voted and wanted their sons alive stopped the war.

Currently, we live in an era of constant military conflict with the longest war in U.S. history continuing in Afghanistan. U.S. troops remain active in Iraq where a war destabilizing the Middle East was invented by the draft dodging war heroes President George W. AWOL and Vice President “I had other priorities” Cheney.

U.S. troops are involved in additional conflicts in Syria, Niger, Libya and Yemen under the leadership of President Bone Spur, a five deferment general whose soldiering was restricted to military high school. This is the same video game warrior-hero who claimed he’d have charged, unarmed, to confront the shooter in the mass killing of high school students in Florida.

Decades ago, the ignoble heroes who promoted war without any military experience earned the title “chickenhawk.”

Today, the term still applies—with a modest variation on the last syllable.

Besides making the public less tolerant of endless war (no mean goal), reviving the draft just might yield unforeseen benefits. Aimless students floundering in college courses could well profit from two years of national service, be it in the military or some other form of national service like the Peace Corps.

A revived draft should apply to women as well as men. That might give a few more armchair warriors second thoughts if not just their sons but their daughters were at risk.

An ancillary advantage of military service would be to satisfy the [sexual] needs of gun nuts, and there are just a few in America, to shoot lots of big guns.

I had been looking forward to participating in this year’s Vets Day parade in Washington, marching in review past El Presidente Bone Spur. Too bad his $92 million salute to himself got cancelled.

Robin Schore lives in Titusville.

A revived draft should apply to women as well as men. That might give a few more armchair warriors second thoughts if not just their sons but their daughters were at risk.
