Sharing a community of stories Literary group focuses on giving all members a voice

By Dan auBRey While McCarter Theater Artistic Director and playwright Emily Mann and noted American playwright Ken Ludwig were the guest story tellers at the People & Stories/Gente y Cuentos March 6 fundraiser at the Nassau Club in Princeton, they may be the first to tell you that the real story is that the Lawrenceville-based nonprofit project mixing literature and community has many voices, locations, and stories.

And the following story about a visit to a recent session gives a glimpse into the program’s heart.

Nancy Brown is the first to arrive for the 2 p.m. Wednesday People & Stories afternoon

gathering at the Lawrence Community Center.

She steadily moves with a walker across the room, sits at one of the community room tables, sighs with relief, and says she’s glad the series is starting again.

She’s here to gather with others to hear someone read a story, read along with a text, and then discuss the story’s thematic, social, artistic, and personal layers.

Just as Brown will be joined by several others, this small group mirrors other such regional and national gatherings.

They occur in prisons, immigrant centers, senior centers, residential treatment facilities, homeless shelters, adult education programs, libraries, alternative schools, and other venues.

But today it is all Lawrenceville with the Lawrence Town-

ship Community Foundation providing support.

“We have about 10 people who come regularly,” says Browns as Judy Briel, Jean Kauffman, Joan Sargo, and Bazey Turner take their seats around two joined kitchen tables in the center’s dun-colored multi-purpose room.

Now People & Stories facilitator and Lawrenceville resident Patricia Andres briskly walks in and unloads her armful of photocopied stories, and since this is the first regrouping since the holidays, there is some catching up and calls to others in the building to join in.

The women smile happily as Andres hands out the copies of today’s tale—Juan Armando Epple’s “Garage Sale People.”

It reflects the Chilean-born contemporary writer and professor’s own experience of immigrating to the United See STORIES, Page 13

With chain restaurants and fast food joints scattered across New Jersey, it’s special to enjoy one-of-a-kind food from nearby or in your hometown. Those looking to enjoy fresh, local, authentic food while spending a night on the town can look no further than Lawrence.

Lawrenceville Main Street Restaurant Week, which is scheduled to run from April 7 to April 12, will allow diners to get a taste of what Lawrenceville Main Street local restaurants have to offer.

Four restaurants will be sharing their food with Lawrence residents for a fixed price of $20

for lunch or $35 for dinner. The four local businesses (Acacia, Chambers Walk Cafe, Fedora Cafe and Vidalia) will provide a three-course menu for guests with their latest culinary creations. All restaurants are individually owned and passion projects—and together they’re collaborating to bring their dishes for Lawrenceville residents to try.

The Gingered Peach and Wildflour Cafe bakeries will also have special offerings for Restaurant Week, too.

Fedora Cafe owner Giovanni Nilli first heard about Lawrenceville Restaurant Week after receiving an email about the idea from Kelly Edelstein,

LMS executive director. Nilli took over Fedora Cafe and Restaurant two years ago, and is happy to share his food with residents for Restaurant Week.

“We feel very happy...we hope to be busy that weekend,” said Nilli.

Chef Chris Voigtsberger is the new owner of Acacia, a restaurant that changes its menu every season, and this year they’ll be “getting ready to launch a new spring menu,” for Lawrenceville residents to enjoy, according to wife Lauren Voigtsberger.

She shared that the idea for restaurant week was introduced a year or two years before LMS See MAIN STREET, Page 7

Lawrence High students earn art honors

Lawrence High School senior Stephanie Luo was selected for a Gold Key and Honorable Mention award for the 2019 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards in Northeast Art Region-At Large. Her painting “Spontaneous Joy” was chosen for the Gold Key award, and her mixed media work “Islands of Broken Glass” was selected for Honorable Mention.

While both are honors, Gold Key works are considered the very best of all submitted works, and automatically considered for national-level recognition.

At the Philadelphia Flower Show, senior De’Asia Jones won Honorable Mention for her teacup entry in the medicinal plant category. LHS art teacher Karen Donnelly won second place in the flower child category for her stained glass pressed flower entry.

COmpLete heALth YOGA 5 REASONS PEOPLE AVOID YOGA: “I am inflexible or too out of shape” “I don’t have enough time” “I have no clue what I’m doing” “I tried it once and it wasn’t for me” “Classes are always crowded and way too hot” At Complete Health Yoga we want to help you drop the excuses and start transforming your body and your spirit.

I am inflexible or too out of shape. Your body is perfect for yoga because Yoga is perfect for eVeRYbody. Yoga works for all shapes and sizes in encouraging flexibility, building strength, and toning muscles.

I don’t have enough time. Once you realize something is important, you’ll find time for it! We are committed to providing enriching studio classes while preparing you for a fruitful home practice. Doing yoga 2-3 times a week, even for 15 minutes at home, will create a lifelong healthy habit.

I have no clue what I’m doing! We all have to start somewhere; that’s why yoga is called “a practice.” A beginner’s mind is the best place to start, and all our teachers are eager to help you build experience through clear and insightful instruction.

It wasn’t for me! There is no “one size fits all” in yoga. There are multiple yoga styles and teachers come from varied backgrounds. We encourage you to try different styles and from different teachers, confident you will eventually find the teacher and class that’s right for you.

Classes are always crowded and too hot! Different styles of yoga require different room conditions. We offer various class temperatures, from ambient to hot, and limit class size to ensure personal instruction. It is critical to our mission that you have plenty of room to breathe!

Mercer student provide tech support

This past fall, six Medical Laboratory Technology students at Mercer County Community College provided technical support as paid interns for Abbott’s Point of Care business in Princeton during the company’s software update to its widely used i-STAT device. They fielded phone calls from healthcare professionals across the country—even from an astronaut on the Space Station. One of those students is Kaleanne Esguerra of Lawrence.

According to MCCC faculty member Lisa Shave, coordinator of the MLT program, the i-STAT instrument is widely used in physicians’ offices, hospital emergency rooms, and other healthcare settings as a fast, accurate and cost-effective blood analyzer. With two updates annually, Abbott worked with Shave last year to bring in additional technical support to help with increased call volume during the software release. Mercer students received 40 hours of training on updating the devices to prepare for the release and were the first line of inquiry in helping customers, including initial calls and follow-up issues.

Student Carolyn Vazquez of Hamilton said the internship was a welcome

SPRINGTIME BRACES!

Back from the offices at Abbott Point of Care and into the MCCC lab are Medical Laborator y Technology students, seated, from left, Kaleanne Esguerra of Lawrence and Gladys Iglesias of Hamilton. Standing from left, Julie Kim of Bordentown, Carolyn Vasquez of Hamilton, and faculty member Lisa Shave. addition to her college coursework. “We were helping people with an important task. I might be one of the people on the other end of the line someday.”

Shave is delighted that her students had the opportunity to learn about healthcare from the manufacturer’s side and rely on their critical thinking and communications skills. “People skills are important in every job, whether that’s dealing with patients or co-workers,” she said.

Shave adds that an MLT degree is more versatile than some may realize. “There are a number of jobs where a laboratory background is valuable,” she said.

Based in Chicago, Abbott produces testing and diagnostics equipment and technology, and manufactures medical devices and generic pharmaceuticals, serving people in more than 150 countries. The goal of its Princeton Point of Care business is to design, develop, manufacture and provide technical support to medical professionals who are

using the i-STAT System.

Two students have been asked to stay on this spring, including Esguerra.

“Working at Abbott has given me a different insight into the laboratory testing field as a whole,” Esguerra said. “Most of the customers I deal with on a regular basis are lab techs, lab managers, and point of care coordinators, so I’ve gotten a glimpse of what they do and how seemingly differing industries all intersect.”

Esguerra, who already has her B.S. in biology from Humboldt State University, has mapped out her future plans, including working as a traveling medical laboratory scientist and earning her master’s degree in either MLS or public health.

But, she notes, working at Abbott’s Point of Care business has opened up other possibilities. “It’s exciting to be part of an international company,” she said.

Other students who interned this fall were Jessica LaFrennie, Julie Kim, Gladys Iglesias, and Jerry Sowers (alumnus).

Academy Dental is a warm, inviting SPA-themed dentist facility in Hamilton, and is rated as one of the best places

by Hulafrog for dental treatment. Dr. Navleen Thind, D.D.S. is a trusted dentist who practices adults and kids’ dentistry, along with Dr. Steven Reff, Dr. Pankaj Puri (Orthodontist) and Dr. Gunjan Parmar.

Today, Dr. Pankaj Puri (Orthodontist) is sharing his top secrets to help you live a life fully of happy, healthy and grateful dental experiences.

Everyone loves to look beautiful and be appreciated for their looks. Braces or Invisalign treatment can give you and your family a very impressive, and happy smile for life. Spring time brings new and enhanced energy into our lives, and we look forward to execute our cherished goals we so much have been looking forward to. Feeling beautiful is a wonderful thing, it uplifts your self-esteem and creates a positive reinforcement of can-do attitude.

Today, Dr. Puri (Orthodontist) provides his top 4 tips to getting started on your own journey to success, which is full of happiness, health and straight teeth for life.

1. FIRST THINGS FIRST: Orthodontic treatment is not only for children, adults also benefit from it tremendously by realigning their teeth. Invisalign is a great treatment to offer the benefits if you qualify, with the added advantage of cosmetically appealing clear braces which are suitable for work, as well as social situations. Children, on the other hand, start early in their school years, and sometimes as late as when in college.

Dr. Pankaj Puri offers full comprehensive Orthodontic treatment for all ages, and is always looking forward to meet new families who need guidance on starting their journey for a healthy smile.

2.

CONVENIENCE: Orthodontic treatment is often a long treatment spanning from one to two years, or in some cases a little more. Convenience is one of the main factors which patients look for when selecting a provider.

Academy Dental is open 7 days a week for any dental emergencies, and is able to complement Dr. Pankaj Puri’s clinical hours every month with added

peace of mind of emergency coverage.

Emergencies happen, and knowing you have someone who cares for you, and is available to provide assistance on most days – can help you achieve your goal with greater ease! When you head out of town this summer on vacation, keep your Orthodontist practice’s number handy, but also pack and emergency kit with you. Try to bring tweezers, nail clipper, and some orthodontic wax in order to help guide a loose wire should you need to.

3. KEEPING ON TRACK: Most important in any Braces or Invisalign treatment is to stay in touch! Staying in touch with your Orthodontist office for monthly appointment visits is critical to achieving long-lasting beautiful results.

Most offices may call you or provide you with an appointment reminder so you can mark your calendars. Academy Dental has invested in automatic reminder systems which track your appointments schedule, and automatically keep you in the loop.

You will never miss an appointment with us! Should emergencies happen, we keep track of your treatment plan, and reach out to you proactively so you can be back on your journey! When selecting your braces provider, it is important to also research their office scheduling and reminder systems, to ensure they are setup to care for your beautiful smile just the way you do!

4. THE SECRET: What if you could have braces that do not cost a fortune?

Academy Dental loves their patients and has a program that makes the entire program accessible to everyone, including students to fund on their own! It starts with trust, and offering special payment plans that skip the traditional financing offers which come with higher interest charges. Direct payment to Academy Dental for your braces reduce all overheads, and most patients can access the entire braces treatment for under $6.16 a day.

What’s even better? You choose your style – clear/Invisalign or traditional wire based braces. Call our office today and speak with our office manager about this great offer.

Several studies have found that early-onset drinking is linked to the risk of greater substance abuse problems later in life. The earlier a child begins to drink alcohol, the greater the problems he or she will face in adulthood, not only with substance abuse but with meeting important life goals such as education and careers. Therefore, it is important for parents and for society to do everything possible to prevent the initiation of childhood drinking. Laws and policies will only work so far, the real work begins in the home within the family.

Parents are the single most important influence on their children’s decision to become involved in substance abuse or not. Studies show that parents who drink or express favorable attitudes about drinking are linked to their children initiating alcohol consumption and continuing to drink.

On the other hand, children who are warned about the dangers of alcohol by their parents are less likely to start drinking underage. The same is true for children who report being close to their parents.

A lack of parental communication, support and monitoring have been linked by researchers to the frequency of drinking, heavy drinking, and drunkenness among adolescents.

Studies have also linked parental hostility, rejection and harsh, inconsistent discipline to childhood drinking and alcohol-related problems.

Parents can help their children avoid alcohol problems by: -Talking about the dangers of drinking -Drinking responsibly, if they choose to drink -Serving as positive role models in general -Not making alcohol available -Getting to know their children’s friends -Having regular conversations about life in general -Connecting with other parents about sending clear messages about the importance of not drinking alcohol -Supervising all parties to make sure there is no alcohol -Encouraging kids to participate in healthy and fun activities that do not involve alcohol Research shows that children whose parents are actively involved in their lives are less likely to drink alcohol. Be a parent, not a pal.

MAIN STREET continued from Page 1 Restaurant Week took place for the first time in September 2018.

Acacia, a BYOB restaurant with American cuisine, took part in the Restaurant Week in September, and is looking forward to the event this April. “It was great,” Voigtsberger said of Lawrenceville’s Restaurant week last year. “We loved it a lot, and we think it was a great success.”

As a result of the success from last year, Voigtsberger shared that the main difference in Acacia’s approach to restaurant week this April will be to highlight their latest menu items, some of which will not be available until after restaurant week.

Vidalia has been on Lawrenceville Main Street for 16 years and according to Salvatore Scarlata, its chef and owner, Restaurant Week is a great way to promote Lawrenceville Main Street and to help recognize the town.

“I think it’s a good thing it showcases each restaurant,” said Scarlata, who mentions that one thing Lawrenceville does not have is many walk-in eateries, but has a lot of restaurants.

Scarlata, as the chef for Vidalia, plans to feature new specials for Restaurant Week, and hopes to share his new ideas after recently taking classes in Italy while he was paying a visit to his hometown with his family.

The final restaurant participating in Restaurant Week is Chambers Walk Cafe.

Mario and Laura Mangone created Chambers Walk in Princeton in 1986 prior to moving the business to the Village of Lawrenceville in January of 2001. Chambers Walk Cafe offers “gourmet take-out” along with a cafe dining experience.

Each restaurant will bring something unique to Restaurant Week, and Lawrenceville Main Street, a volunteer-run organization, is focused on local business development, according to Edelstein, who is looking forward to restaurant week this April. After the success of Restaurant Week last September, Edelstein looks forward to seeing this restaurant week grow, and is looking to “expand on [its] success.”

In addition to the Restaurant Weeks, the group has planned a Winter Arts Festival and a Year of Art and Community in Weeden Park that included music, food, hands on activity and more for residents.

Edelstein spoke about the future of and what else is in store. The goal behind Restaurant Week is to draw attention to local Lawrenceville businesses, and to show how the community can benefit from a nice local dinner.

“We want to bring people into the village and support small businesses,” Edelstein said.

Voigtsberger said that this event is a great way to “target new customers” and to show to the people of Lawrenceville that their business is a great place “to come by in the middle of the week or to stop by for lunch.”

Nilli said that Fedora Cafe they’re looking forward to “[having] new customers give [Fedora Cafe] a shot” and they’re “ready for customers.”

With prior success, LMS Restaurant Week has more sponsors and a bigger budget to enhance the experience for residents even more. LMS is looking forward to bringing Restaurant week back for Lawrenceville residents, and on a larger scale. “We’re really excited,” said Edelstein.

Lawrenceville Main Street has been a community organization responsible for taking care of the town center in Lawrenceville since 1996.

According to their website, LMS was created to “foster economic vitality in the Village of Lawrenceville, N.J.,” and said that, “Lawrenceville is a lively destination for commerce, welcoming new businesses and entrepreneurs.”

Lawrenceville Main Street is poised to be busier than ever before with all the upcoming events they have planned and, according to Edelstein, they’ll be something for all ages, from the youngest members of the community to the oldest, to enjoy. Not only is Restaurant Week an opportunity for a fun, unique meal, but it’s an opportunity to become more acquainted and immersed in the Lawrenceville community.

As for what events LMS has in store beyond Restaurant Week, Lawrence residents can look forward to the organization’s annual plant sale, set for April 26 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Kale’s, located at 133 Carter Road in Princeton. The fundraiser will feature live music, refreshments and a demonstration of container garden planting by Kevin Bullard, a certified nursery and landscape professional. A portion of the proceeds from the event will benefit the Lawrenceville Main Street Landscaping Committee’s efforts to plant and maintain flower baskets along the road.

The Spring Arts Festival will held on June 15, 2019 from noon to 4 p.m. in Weeden Park. The free event, in addition to having art, music, community group performances, will also open up the sculpture garden for guests to visit.

LMS will secure artists, crafters, vendors, face-painting and more to “showcase community talent,” according to Edelstein. Food and drink will be available for purchase, too.

Other events from LMS that Lawrenceville residents can look for ward to include weekly Music in the Park offerings. On Thursday nights in the summer, residents will be able to enjoy music from local restaurants, community activity, balloon games, face-painting and more. Fast for warding to October 2019, residents can look for ward to Scarecrows in the Village, another free family fun event to see who can create “the most colorful and unique scarecrow,” according to the LMS website.

For more information, visit lawrencevillemainstreet.com.

‘We want to bring people into the village and support small businesses,’ Lawrenceville Main Street director Kelly Edelstein said.

Getting Healthy is a Walk in the Park The Health Benefits of Walking According to the National Institutes for Health, just 2.5 hours of moderate aerobic activity per week will help most adults stay healthy. For many, deciding on a fitness program and finding the time to exercise can stop the most well-meaning person in their tracks. Luckily, getting on the path to better health can literally be as easy as a walk in the park.

“Walking has a low risk of injury and you don’t need any memberships, special equipment or training to get started,” said DR. JILL YOUNG, a board certified physician at Capital Health Primary Care – Quakerbridge.

“Most people don’t need to see a doctor before they begin a walking program, but if you have a chronic health issue or you’re over age 40 and have been inactive for a while, check with your primary care doctor to establish a fitness routine that’s safe for you.”

In addition to seeing patients at Capital Health’s primary care office in Lawrenceville, NJ, Dr. Young is a trustee of the 22-mile Lawrence Hopewell Trail, a non-profit that provides communities in Hopewell and Lawrence Townships a safe environment for walking, jogging, and biking.

A brisk walk 30 minutes a day, five days a week will help you burn calories, strengthen your muscles and bones, and can lower your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes. If you have a tight schedule to work around, Dr. Young suggests breaking your walks into three 10-minute sessions per day to enjoy the same benefits, all of which improve your overall fitness and lift your mood along the way.

Whether it’s scheduling a wellness check-up or you’re just not feeling well, Capital Health understands that advanced medicine starts with your primary care doctor. If you don’t already have a primary care provider, Capital Health’s Primary Care Network offers convenient offices throughout the greater Mercer, Bucks and Burlington county region.

To learn more, or to find an office near you, visit capitalmedicalgroup.org

DOCS ON THE TRAIL: Enjoying the Outdoors While Managing Your Joint Pain If you’re living with arthritis or considering joint replacement surgery, join DR. ARJUN SAXENA from Trenton Orthopaedic Group at Rothman Orthopaedic Institute to learn how walking or biking can help you manage your pain and even help you recover from surgery. This will be followed by a two-mile hike into Rosedale Park led by DR. JILL YOUNG, a board certified family medicine physician at Capital Health Primary Care – Quakerbridge and trustee of the Lawrence Hopewell Trail.

DON’T LOSE SLEEP OVER DAYLIGHT SAVINGS BASIC TIPS FOR A BETTER NIGHT’S SLEEP Daylight savings time may be a welcome sign of spring and the long summer nights to come, but the “lost hour” can have short-term effects on your normal sleeping patterns.

“When you ‘spring forward’ and advance your clocks an hour, the change disrupts your sleep pattern and causes your body clock to become out of sync with the daylightnighttime cycle,” said DR. CALLUM DUPRE, board certified neurologist, fellowship trained sleep medicine specialist, and medical director of the Capital Health Center for Sleep Medicine. “If you’re a night owl, the switch to daylight savings time could have a more noticeable impact.”

Your best defense against the disruption caused by the time change is maintaining a consistent sleep routine. Instead of altering your schedule to compensate for the hour of sleep you lose, select a bedtime ritual, such as a warm bath, listening to calm music or reading a book. After you make it through the time change, sticking to a routine year round

OTHER TIPS INCLUDE:

… Create a relaxing bedroom. ∙∙ Remove work materials, computers and televisions. ∙∙ Keep it quiet, dark and cool. … Reduce or eliminate caffeine, nicotine and alcohol intake. … If you can't sleep, try relaxing in another room until you feel tired. … Exercise regularly but not close to bedtime.

will go a long way in improving your quality of sleep and reducing your risk of illness and chronic health problems.

If you or your family is having sleep-related problems, contact the Capital Health Center for Sleep Medicine.

As the largest, fully accredited center in Mercer and Bucks counties, the Center has provided comprehensive evaluation and treatment for sleep disorders in adults and children for more than 20 years. Call 609.584.5150 or visit www.sleepatcapitalhealth.com.

On December 19, President & CEO Al Maghazehe and other members of Capital Health’s senior management team joined the CAPITAL HEALTH AUXILIARY for a ribbon-cutting ceremony (pictured right) that marked the grand opening of Capital Thrift, the Auxiliary’s new thrift store located at 2783 Brunswick Pike (Rt. 1 South), Lawrenceville, NJ. The Mercer Mart thrift store, which celebrated its grand opening in 1958, (pictured left) opened on West Hanover Street in Trenton before moving to Front Street until it closed in 2004. Like the Mercer Mart, Capital Thrift is completely staffed and managed by volunteers, and proceeds help the Auxiliary sponsor health and educational programs for patients at Capital Health.

Volunteer Spirit is alive and well at CAPITAL THRIFT In December 2018, the Capital Health Auxiliary celebrated the grand opening of Capital Thrift, a thrift shop in Lawrenceville, NJ that benefits health and educational programs at Capital Health. Although the store is new, the community spirit that drives this effort can trace its roots back to 1958 and an enterprise known as Mercer Mart, Capital Health’s original thrift shop.

“Mercer Mart was a mainstay in the city of Trenton for 46 years until its closing in 2004,” said Donna Costanzo, president of the Capital Health Auxiliary. “Inspired by the dedication of the original founders and volunteers at the Mart—many of whom helped run the store from start to finish—we look forward to improving the community and continuing to support the many great programs at Capital Health.”

Capital Thrift is located at 2783 Brunswick Pike (Rt. 1 South) in Lawrenceville, NJ. Store hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday; 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. on the first and third Sunday of each month; and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the first Monday of each month.

Purchases may be made with cash or credit card (Visa & Master Cards only—no debit cards). Donations may be dropped off during store hours. For more information, call 609-882-4717 or search for Capital Thrift NJ on Facebook.

Advanced Screening and Early Treatment helps prevent esophageal cancer Heartburn and acid reflux are common conditions, but if you’re experiencing chronic symptoms, you may have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Left untreated, GERD can cause damage to the lining of the esophagus and lead to Barrett’s esophagus, a precancerous condition that is estimated to affect more than 12 million adults in the United States. In a more severe form of Barrett’s, the lining of the esophagus also contains dysplasia (cells that are turning into cancer).

“Barrett’s esophagus commonly goes undiagnosed and can lead to esophageal cancer, making it a potentially life-threatening condition of the digestive system,” said DR. JASON ROGART, director of Interventional Gastroenterology & Therapeutic Endoscopy at Capital Health.

“With the advanced screening options available at our Center for Digestive Health, we work to identify Barrett’s in its earliest stages. Our goal is to identify disease progression early, when it can be treated endoscopically, without the need for surgery.”

Dr. Rogart leads the Barrett’s esophagus and GERD Program at the Capital Health Center for Digestive Health, which offers these advanced screening, diagnostic and treatment options: High-definition endoscopy with narrow band imaging: Detailed imaging further enhanced by a special filter that focuses light to specific wavelengths for greater image contrast and clarity.

Video Laser Endomicroscopy (VLE): High-resolution, crosssectional imaging of the outermost lining of the esophagus.

Studies show this to have greater than 98 percent accuracy in detecting Barrett’s. Our experienced team at Capital Health was the first in New Jersey to offer VLE. WATS3D (wide-area transepithelial sampling with 3D computer analysis): A brush biopsy technique that can detect Barrett’s and increase the detection of cells that are turning into cancer.

Molecular/DNA analysis of Barrett’s esophagus: Tissue samples collected via endoscopy are tested for the presence of biomarkers that may indicate a higher risk of progression to cancer before the development of invasive tumors.

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS): Special scopes with small ultrasound probes at the tip are inserted into the esophagus to examine nodules that may arise within Barrett’s esophagus. If the nodules contain cancer or if there are abnormal lymph nodes outside the esophagus, they can be sampled under EUS-guidance with fine needle aspiration.

Bravo™ pH probe: Via endoscopy, a small capsule is temporarily attached to the wall of the esophagus to measure pH levels, record GERD symptoms, and transmit readings to a small wireless receiver you wear on your waistband.

24 hour pH testing with impedance and esophageal manometry: A thin catheter is passed through the nose into the esophagus to measure whether acid or non-acid contents from the stomach are refluxing into the esophgaus.

The pattern of muscle contraction within the esophagus can also be checked for abnormalities.

Stretta anti-reflux endoscopic therapy: An endoscopic alternative to medical or surgical treatment of GERD, this is a safe and effective minimally invasive endoscopic procedure that is typically performed in less than 60 minutes on an outpatient (same-day) basis. It has been shown to significantly reduce and even eliminate GERD symptoms, such as heartburn, by reducing esophageal acid exposure.

Our experienced team at Capital Health was the first in New Jersey to offer Stretta.

STORIES continued from Page 1 States.

“I found the story a bit confusing,” says Andres who has been running the sessions at the center for 12 years.

“There are three voices in the work.

We’ll have to figure out why,” she says to help guide the participants into the story and discussion.

The group quiets as Andres slowly reads the story’s opening lines, “I’m going for a spin.”

Then for 20 minutes or so, she takes the group on a literary ride through a tale that arrives at an ending that offers more questions than explanations.

“Can you imagine living in Chile and then you end up in Oregon?” says Brown at the end of the story. She’s scrunching her face as if she had just tasted something strange.

The others murmur in agreement and start taking turns thinking aloud about the story’s ending: the immigrant professor purchases an old American grandmother at a garage sale.

The conversation twists from questions regarding the reality of the story and potential meanings.

To make their points each uses evidence from the text and recalls her own personal experiences—such as alienation and America’s questionable values.

And since the group members were informed that the story was originally written in Spanish, questions arise on the art of translation and the difficulties of transferring meaning and tone from one language to another.

As the two hours wind down, Brown says what she likes about sessions like today, “I learn a lot, and I use my brain.”

The others’ nods and bright hum-like sounds signal an overall agreement.

“There is an underlying method to the presenting the story and generating conversation,” says Andres about the ongoing publicly and privately funded project connecting people of varied

backgrounds and ages to literature— and to one another. “(The method) is based on the assumption that there is an innate potential beyond script-centric literary skills, a belief that literary art resonates at a depth level that all of us have access to —if it is presented in a way that crosses barriers. I think this defies Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.”

That final reference reflects her belief that sharing stories is as important as the other components in American psychologist Abraham Maslow’s model of necessities to create a self-actualized individual.

People & Stories (also known in Spanish as Gente y Cuentos) materials explore the method more: “The rationale behind the program method is that new audiences will enter and enjoy the critical interpretation of literary works when the conversation is structured by a back-and-forth flow between probing the work’s poetic elements and exploring its vibrations within life experience.”

For example, those leading the sessions will focus on “shadows,” an element pointing “to the story’s unanswered questions, enigmas, and ambiguities.”

This is also where a “resistance to closure will often raise more questions for readers than it answers. These unresolved and inconclusive aspects carry a residual power that reverberates to mirror the intricate design of life.”

As demonstrated in the session, it also promotes group discussion and exploration rather than passively listen to a predetermined or “correct” explanation of what the story is about.

One of the stories not read during a People & Stories session but important to the program is the organization’s founding and connection to Trenton and Princeton.

The brainchild of Sarah Hirschman, the program’s earliest roots are in a See STORIES, Page 14

‘There is an underlying method to presenting the story and generating conversation,’ Andres said.

STORIES continued from Page 13 1972 pilot project involving Puerto Rican women in a Cambridge, Massachusetts, housing project.

That project grew out of Hirschman’s work at a training center for Hispanic people and Boston University where she assisted placing Latin America female students in temporary jobs.

It was also affected by something she experienced in a seminar led by Paulo Freire, a Brazilian philosopher and educator.

“It was about how he had taught literacy to poor people in northeastern Brazil and how to relate literacy to the lives of the people; the importance of life experiences in learning,” she said in a published interview.

“This really impressed me, and I thought maybe I could do it with short stories and how people could talk through those about their own life experiences. In 1972, I decided just like that to go to public housing in Cambridge and see if there was interest in this. I talked with Puerto Rican women, and they were receptive.

“The participants often had little or no formal education, and some were illiterate.

But the beginnings of an intriguing idea had taken root. I read stories aloud in Spanish, and the people would enter the stories through experiences in their own lives. So the perspective of the story and their own individual perspectives connected.”

Hirschman (1921 to 2012) was born Sarah Chapiro in Lithuania. Her father was a businessman who moved the family to Paris, where she studied with

People and stories founder Sarah Hischman with her husband, Albert, in 1943. prominent existentialist and feminist philosopher Simone de Beauvoir.

Then in 1939, like many other European Jews, they moved to New York City where she studied philosophy at Columbia (later attending Cornell and the University of California, Berkley).

In 1941 she married German scholar and economist Albert O. Hirschman, who among other activities participated in helping artists and intellectuals escape from Nazi occupied Europe, worked with the Federal Reserve board to implement the Marshall Plan in Europe, served as an economic advisor to the Columbia

99th Spring

government, and took faculty positions at Yale, Columbia and Harvard.

Later he was a fellow at the Institute for Advance Study in Princeton.

Hirschman used her move to South America to become fluent in Spanish and the other locations to experiment with humanist projects using literature to enhance communities, communication, and the importance of language.

Upon arriving in the Princeton area in 1974, she continued developing Gente y Cuentos and established locations in Trenton and Newark.

Then, as organization materials note, “Eventually, through her efforts, the program grew to encompass sites in learning centers, libraries, and prisons. A grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities enabled the project to expand to other states across the country, and Mrs. Hirschman held workshops to train others in the program’s concept and method. She also set up a program in a barrio outside Buenos Aires. An English program, People & Stories, was added in 1985, and Mrs. Hirschman also began an inter-generational and inter-town (Princeton and Trenton) related project, a pre-cursor of Crossing Borders with Literature.”

Andres shared some of that story after the session and probably contributed to that above statement. Andres joined the program in 1987, was People & Stories executive director for 20 years, and now serves as president of the advisory board and program coordinator.

Also participating in the writing of organization’s story is Cheyenne Wolf.

Raised in Hightstown (and now living

SALE

in Philadelphia), she joined the organization in 2014 as associate director of development and programs. She became director in October 2018.

Perhaps the big story being told by the program is the universal one about the power of a short story.

“Because they rely on intense compression, (short stories) are much closer to poetry than to novels,” says Andres.

“Poetic images, rhythms, metaphors resonate at a depth dimension within us, so a greater sense of well being can develop from connecting with others over a poetic story. Also, the program engages people on the social, cognitive, emotional, and imaginative levels so it creates a really enjoyable experience. Over the years I’ve seen that no matter the age, everyone loves being read to.”

As Hirschman has once said, “The participants’ view of the story depends on their own experiences. When they see that they can talk about it, that they can hear themselves, they become validated. They defend their point of view and become curious about others. It also gives people enormous pleasure.”

Then she rhetorically adds something gleaned from her experience as an immigrant American working with other immigrants and hearing so many stories and voices. “I always say ‘What’s democracy?’”

Her answer: “A chance for people who don’t usually have a voice to participate.”

Lawrence High DECA students claim spotlight at Proposed budget state conference — 23 qualify for international level invests in future Public hearing set for May 1 Board meeting You can count on it. If it’s time for NCAA college basketball’s March Madness tournament, it’s time to begin finalizing the district’s budget for the following year.

Our Board of Education (BOE) approved the proposed budget at their March 13, 2019 meeting.

We then sent the document to the NJ Department of Education’s County Office for approval by the County Superintendent. Once we receive that approval, we will hold a public hearing. Currently, that hearing is scheduled as part of our BOE’s May 1, 2019 meeting. We have until May 14 to change the proposed budget before submitting the final plan to the state.

Students in Lawrence High School’s (LHS) DECA (formerly called Distributive Education Clubs of America) chapter made a big showing at the 2019 State Leadership Conference on March 4-6, 2019 in Atlantic City, N.J. Sixty-three LHS chapter members competed in marketing, finance, and entrepreneurship areas. Twenty-nine members took home 45 different awards, and of those, twenty-three earned spots to compete at the DECA International Career Development Conference in Orlando, Florida in April.

Diane Schneck, LHS business teacher, advises the chapter.

Check out the list of LHS DECA stars: https:// tinyurl.com/yyj894bt.

As the DECA website relates, DECA was founded in 1946 and is organized into two unique student divisions. The High School Division includes 200,000 members in 3,500 schools. The Collegiate Division includes over 15,000 members in 275 colleges and universities. Members can be found in all 50 United States, the District of Columbia, Canada, China, Germany, Guam, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Spain. The United States Congress, the United States Department of Education, and state, district, and international departments of education authorize DECA’s programs.

The district’s responsibility of developing a cost-efficient budget falls under Goal 4 Fiscal Responsibility of our strategic plan and aligns with our mission statement. Goal 4 reads, “The district will continue to prioritize the use of funds and (continued page 2)

Excellence personified Third grade teacher named STEM Teacher of the Year by engineering society Sarah Sutton, 3rd grade teacher at Ben Franklin Elementary, has received the 2019 STEM Teacher of the Year Award from the Professional Engineers Society of Mercer County.

For the past five years, Sarah invited her brother, a structural engineer, to do an engineering activity with her class. It began with his visiting as a college student and, once he started working at WSP in Lawrence, it developed into a company-backed project that expanded to a grade-wide event. Engineers from all parts of the company visited 3rd grade classes, spoke to them a little about their jobs, and then guided them through an activity.

In previous years, the Mercer County STEM Teacher of the Year Award was given to high school teachers only. Sarah is the first elementary teacher to receive the honor.

Sarah Sutton

Lawrence High senior honored with national recognition for volunteer service Lawrence High School (LHS) senior, Andrew Sam, has been honored by the President of the United States for his exemplary volunteer service. The President’s Volunteer Service Award, which recognizes Americans of all ages who have volunteered significant amounts of their time to serve their communities and their country, was granted by The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program.

LHS nominated Andrew last fall in recognition of his service, which included volunteering at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, the Lawrence Public Library. Additionally, and for the past three summers, Andrew volunteered as a research intern at the Beld Laboratory at Drexel University under Dr. Joris Beld, where Andrew conducted experiments on soil and tree bark bacteria.

Budget Objectives Our proposed budget invests in the future: – protects primary resources (maintains existing programs and increases school security), – improves learning spaces, and – reduces overhead costs.

The Lawrence Township Public Schools and Lawrence Township each will fund an additional Class III Officer. This means there will be two new such officers in our district. Both will share responsibilities of covering our four elementary schools.

We will re-roof the administration building and add solar panels. We also will install solar panels on the maintenance building at 290 Eggerts Crossing Road.

Appropriations = Spending Plan – Over the course of the past three years, the

cost of general education has grown 6% and the cost of special education has increased 21%. (As is the case for several districts, our enrollment is declining. This gives us the chance to create additional special education programs and bring back to our district special education students now in out-ofdistrict placements. Currently, we’re in the midst of taking a close look at our in-district and out-ofdistrict programs to see if there are opportunities to bring students back.)

– Medical insurance premiums increased 14-16% over last year. Increase is determined by utilization.

– General operating expenditures increased 2.75%.

– Labor costs increased 3% excluding benefits.

– We received $272,090 additional state aid for special education.

– Consolidating as many bus routes as possible has helped to contain our ever-rising transportation costs. However, the state’s recent legislation to increase minimum wages of contractors and to grant sick leave to drivers will affect our costs. Currently, we own one van, four mini buses, and three full-size buses and provide district employee driv-

16Lawrence Gazette | April 2019 | Lawrence Public Schools

ers for those vehicles. We contract with eight bus companies for general and special education routes, and their drivers cover the routes. Generally, we daily run 115 routes to and from school and several vocational routes.

Revenue Our tax levy increases are slightly more than 2% due to waivers we received from the state.

Waivers are granted for certain categories of costs when the amount exceeds the 2% cap imposed on a school district’s budget. Areas in which the state may grant waivers include benefits, enrollment, pension, and shifting government responsibility.

Tax Impact On an average assessed home in Lawrence Township of $282,000, the tax impact of our proposed budget is $141 per year.

Questions about the budget may be addressed to Business Administrator Tom Eldridge at teldridge@ ltps.org or (609) 671-5420.

Robbinsville School District superintendent Kathie Foster said that Lythcott-Haims’ work highlights proven strategies for fostering children’s resiliency, selfdirection, and emotional well-being.

“She also highlights how to navigate the “college arms-race” and having families create their own definition of success,” Foster said in a statement.

Such a discussion is pivotal for the districts to continue growing this rhetoric.

“For us, it’s all about raising awareness, and providing support,” Hopewell Valley School District superintendent Thomas Smith said. “We know kids have suffered in the past, whether it was embarrassment or pain, or something else. But nothing was reported to us.”

The past couple of years have been particularly difficult on the county administrators, Smith noted—some

tragedies or incidents to have befallen their students happened without their prior knowing of any problem. Even in instances when students were hospitalized from an accident, faculty and administration may not have been told.

But since the awareness campaign has begun, Smith has seen more students and parents step forward and ask for help.

“I think kids are more stressed, and by raising awareness, we’re realizing the size of the problem, and that’s something that wasn’t done before,” he said. “And that’s good.”

What LythcottHaims—in her presentation and Q&A session, free of charge to the public—will provide is practices to properly navigate common teenage student stressors such as the “college armsrace” and the burdens of academic success. It’s as beneficial for parents to learn as it is for school leaders to share the lesson with them.

“I hope parents in our Hamilton community can join this free event about reducing our children’s stress and supporting their mental and emotional health,” Hamilton School District super-

Last year, legislation was proposed and passed 34 Rossa Ave. - Lawrenceville, NJ 0864 to connect 10 county- (609) 882-80 www.saintannschool.org superintendents to a call to action to prevent youth suicides.

As recently as 2016, Mercer County was among the three New Jersey counties with the greatest rate of suicide attempts and self-inflicted injuries among people aged 10 to 24 years old, according to the state Suicide Report from the Department of Children and Family.

In just under a two-year span from early 2016 to later 2017, seven suicides were confirmed to be teenagers that either lived or attended school in the a Ave.county.

These troubling numbers—just as much as the stories behind them—drove school district administrators in Mercer County to action. More specifically, they created a novel call to action. Legislation was proposed and passed last year that connected 10 Mercer County school district superintendents to a Call to Action to prevent youth suicides.

Since then, the conglomerate has hosted a series of events: a presentation at Rider University intended to kick off a countywide focus on student mental health last January; a discussion on support at the College of New Jersey last May; and now, an effort to learn how to apply best practices through a program next month.

On April 24, the call-to-action team, in collaboration with the Traumatic Loss Coalition, will host a presentation by former Stanford University dean and

intendent Scott Rocco said in a statement.

Smith set high expectations for the presentation, noting the Rider University event included 600-plus attendees. There’s been great early engagement for what is, to his knowledge, the first-of-its-kind Call to Action among the Mercer County schools. It was an initiative he remarked was fairly easy to get going, too.

“We have a unique size and makeup here in Mercer County, and we’re all pretty connected as superintendents,” he said. “If you were in a different county with 30, even 50 different people, it might be a little harder. But because of our size—and really because of the people and their interest—we’ve been able to collaborate on a lot.”

Early on—when statistics were at their most troubling and upsetting stories of students trying and failing to cope were coming to light—the Call to Action was getting mixed reactions.

Smith recalled people suggesting that more problems could possibly come from their efforts to raise awareness. As these presentations have continued, he’s learned it’s the opposite: people suffering in silence are now welcoming their support.

“This is all about raising healthier students, in healthier schools,” he said.

An Evening With Julie Lythcott-Haims will take place Wednesday, April 24 at 7 p.m. in the performing arts center at Robbinsville High School, 155 Robbinsville Edinburg Road in Robbinsville. Parking is in the rear of the school. For more information, go online to smore.com/zswd8.

SPORTS

Stephens ends Princeton career in the record books

By Rich Fisher Myles Stephens spent the past four years establishing himself as one of the all-time greats in the storied history of Princeton University men’s basketball.

Then again, there was really no place to go but up after Stephens nearly decked the program’s iconic architect before ever donning a Tigers uniform.

During the summer of 2015, prior to his first college semester, the Lawrenceville resident was playing oneon-one on campus when unbeknownst to him, former coach Pete Carril had become an interested observer. As the game wore on, the Hall of Famer slunk up behind Stephens for reasons that only Carril knows to this day.

“He was real quiet,” Stephens recalled. “I did a step back move and I didn’t know he had crept behind us on the court. I landed and I knocked into his chest. He was stumbling back, going down on his back at 81 years old.

I flipped around a little and I kind of caught him before he hit the ground and I laid him on the ground nice and softly.”

Carril looked at the freshman-to-be and in his deep, gruff, deadpan voice, merely said “Nice catch.”

Lawrence native and Princeton University senior Myles Stephens was named to the All-Ivy League basketball team this year. (Photo by Beverly Schaefer.)

“It’s my first time ever meeting and talking to him,” Stephens said, still laughing at the memory. “And here I am, bumping into the legend and almost knocking him down.”

Making the catch before Carril hit the

ground was the first of many great plays Stephens would make for Princeton. He ended his career as the Tigers 10th alltime scorer with 1,346 points and 10th all-time rebounder with 561. His 509 field goals are eighth on the career list.

He was a first-team All-Ivy League selection twice, including this year, and a second-team pick once. Stephens was the league’s Defensive Player of the Year as a sophomore and coach Mitch Henderson thought he could have won it again this year (though he did not). He was named Most Outstanding Player in the first-ever Ivy League Tournament, which Princeton won in 2017.

Stats and honors aside, the 6-foot-5 Stephens was impressive in numerous other ways.

“A lot of people don’t know, he played through pain, he played through adversity and never said a word about any of that stuff,” Henderson said. “He shouldered a lot while putting up pretty amazing stats. I asked him to do so much —guard the other team’s best player, rebound and score—and he did all those things. He’s such a hard player to define because, I just don’t know that many guys that get asked to do what he’s asked to do night in and night out. In today’s game there’s just so many good players between 6-3 and 6-6 that cause problems and he always drew that role of defending them for us.”

In discussing Stephens’ impact, Henderson felt it had as much to do with

intangibles as with sheer numbers.

“Just his understanding how hard it is to win was important,” the coach said.

“Myles always accepted the role that we asked of him, which is taking on the biggest and toughest challenge for the other team and not being afraid of that assignment. In doing that he didn’t say a word.

To me there’s an unselfishness there that we’ve always wanted in our program.

Myles embodied that and took a massive load off everybody else all the time.”

Stephens’ career began in the Lawrence travel league in 5th grade and he teamed with current Seton Hall (and former Trenton Catholic) standout Myles Powell to win the league title in seventh grade. He spent two years playing for the Pennington School and winning a Prep B title before transferring to St. Andrew’s in Delaware. Despite missing his senior year due to injury, Myles had already shown enough to recruiters through his AAU career with the NJ Roadrunners and Delaware’s We R 1.

Henderson, who emphasized recruiting more New Jersey players when he took over in 2011, was immediately impressed by how Stephens moved defensively. Stingy defense has long been a Tigers staple.

“He established himself as one of the best defenders in the country,” Henderson said. “And every year he got better and better on the offensive end.”

Stephens averaged 5.5 points coming off the bench as a freshman, and in three years as a starter he averaged 12.5, 15.3 and 13.6 points and 4.6, 6.3 and 6.4 rebounds. He shot a respectable 48 percent for his career and finished with 80 blocks and 68 steals. All this came as news to Myles on Senior Night.

“They announced my stats and everything, and I hadn’t realized what I had accomplished while playing,” he said. “I was just playing, not paying attention to that ... It’s nice to know that hard work didn’t go unnoticed and to know that people understand that hard work can accomplish things. It’s nice to know that mine did that for me.”

That work went well beyond basketball as Stephens also endures the academic rigors that comes with attending one of the world’s most prestigious schools. As a histor y major, he is doing his 75-page senior thesis on the socio-economic impact of Negro League Baseball on integra-

tion in America.

“I’m not the biggest baseball fan, but I’m really interested in African American history,” Stephens said. “This lets me combine my passion for sports and passion for African American history and look into this topic in a deeper sense; in terms of the tensions surrounding integration in the black community. Some people wanted integration, some people didn’t for various reasons. It was a long process. The depression and World War II came along and that catalyzed the conversation with integration. All these things came at same time, kind of like a perfect storm for Negro League baseball to thrive. And then to let the conversation for integration to be put forth.”

Stephens himself integrated his own home – with half of his basketball team.

One of the things Henderson asks of his New Jersey upperclassmen, is to try and aid the players who come from great distances when they need it. Thus, Tony and Kelly Stephens opened their home to their son’s teammates and cooked a nice Thanksgiving dinner in November.

“We had six or seven guys over my house this year,” Stephens said. “I’m an only child, there’s usually just the three of us. We had a whole house full so it was nice.”

According to Henderson, that gesture was just one of many by the Stephens family.

“They have been very welcoming to the players that don’t live close, they’ve provided support in so many different ways,” the coach said. “They’ve provided a home away from home for so many and been supportive. Off the court and on the court we’ve been very fortunate with Myles as part of our family, he’s made our program so much better.

“His parents are present. They’re willing to do the little things you need in a program; just being unselfish. There’s a lot asked of people. Being a college basketball player in a family is not easy. It’s fun, but there’s a large commitment and a time commitment. Myles has always been willing to do the little things for players off the court.”

With all the great things Stephens has provided, it seems a little unfair that he only reached the NCAA Tournament his sophomore year; and that Princeton lost a memorable game to Notre Dame in which a potential game-winning 3-pointer appeared to be right on the
