state. The law that established the commission set a deadline of August 21 for communities to pass ordinances regulating those cannabis businesses. Under the state law, if a town did not specifically prohibit each class of license by the deadline, those businesses would have automatically been allowed to operate in the municipality for five years.

Princeton decided to initially ban all cannabis businesses and appointed a task force to study the question of legalization. The task force issued a report in November recommending five commercial areas that could be zoned to permit cannabis retail businesses.

These include the area surrounding the Dinky train station; the Jugtown neighborhood at the intersection of Nassau and Harrison streets; the central business district; Witherspoon Street, between Green Street and Leigh Avenue; and Route 206, near Cherry Valley Road.

The task force also recommended that the town allow no more than three retail medical and adult-use dispensaries, but no licenses for the other categories of cannabis businesses.

The council had not made any decisions to implement the recommendation as of December 22, and was faced with opposition from a number of members of the community opposed to cannabis dispensaries.

History & helpful hands in Herrontown Woods

By Patricia A. Taylor

T

en years ago Herrontown Woods was an almost impenetrable jungle. Today, thanks to Steve Hiltner and the Friends of Herrontown Woods, it is touted on Princeton’s Recreation website as among the best in the area for a moderate hiking adventure. With ticks pretty much inactivated by frost, now is a perfect time to enjoy the beauty and peaceful stillness of the trails throughout this impressive nature preserve.

As Hiltner likes to point out, Herrontown Woods is Princeton’s first open space preserve; it now has a dedicated volunteer group not to only oversee it but also to add attractions for all family members; and much of the credit for its spruced up trails goes to Kurt and Sally Tazelaar.

The wooded area is closing in on its centennial mark as a site to be enjoyed. It was, so to speak, civilized in the late 1930s by Oswald Veblen, a Princeton mathematics professor who went on to be a founder of the Institute for Advanced Study. Veblen and his wife, Elizabeth, settled in what is known as the Princeton Ridge. The Veblens slowly accumulated property and in seeking “to preserve a bit of land as closest to its natural form as possible” donated 81 acres to Mercer County in 1957. The gift was appraised at $154,000 (over $1.4 million in today’s dollars).

The gift created not only the first open space in Princeton but also in Mercer County. When asked why he chose to donate his property to the county rather than to the town, Veblen said he believed the county “was particularly well-fitted to handle this sort of thing.” He felt the state was too large and Princeton

The writer’s relatives use carefully placed stepping stones to navigate especially muddy areas of Herrontown Woods.

too small to care for and enhance the property.

The county was ecstatic. Then Freeholder Richard J. Coffee, in echoing Veblen’s wishes, enthused, “We envision a nature museum, a system of trails through the wooded areas, with trees and other plants labeled, a relaxation center for visitors, and lectures to provide opportunities for nature study. We will preserve the existing natural beauties, and enrich them with facilities which will promote the fullest measure of public enjoyment.”

Time was to show that Veblen, while generous, was too optimistic: None of the plans came through during his life and even decades after. Hints of inaction with regard to the care and maintenance of the woods were there almost from the beginning. The county

from the cover Start the new year off right

By CaTherIne BIalKoWsKI

The time has come to decide our New Year’s resolutions, promises we make to ourselves that will improve our lives overall for the next 12 months. From eating more healthily to learning better spending habits, we all have areas in our lives that need a bit of extra attention and care. Here are some local resources to help start 2022 in the right mindset, based on the most popular resolutions.

Improving Your Health

Perhaps the number one resolution, year after year, is to live more healthfully. From choosing the right foods to exercising daily, there are a multitude of ways to live a more sound lifestyle.

Dr. Kintur Sanghvi, owner of NJ Heart & Vascular Care in Princeton and Hamilton, says that heart health (and overall fitness) starts with the diet and daily intake of water. It is important, he says, to pay attention to what we put into our bodies, and to take care to avoid greasy, salty, or processed foods. “Most of us eat food on the fly,” says Dr. Sanghvi. “We never have time to sit down. We all just eat quickly and move on.” Paying attention to diet and the effect on the body can be life-changing.

Regenerative Spine and Pain Institute Taking the Fight Against Chronic Pain to New Levels 27 different therapies available to patients, Dr. Patel offers a range of treatments, often combined to attack highly specific causes of pain. Among the most promising and innovative treatments:

B

otox for migraines. Stem cell injections to regenerate tissue and organs.

Gummy Bears infused with THC. Platelet-Rich Plasma to treat conditions from sports injuries and wounds to hair loss from chemotherapy. These are just a few of the cutting-edge therapies used by Dr. Ronak Patel, the founder and medical director of Regenerative Spine and Pain Institute in Plainsboro.

“Many of these treatments may come as a surprise to patients suffering from chronic pain, especially those who think that their pain — and poor quality of life — is something they have to endure,” Dr. Patel notes. A double board-certified anesthesiologist and pain management specialist, Dr. Patel focuses on treating pain in the back, neck, face, and joints as well as pain related to cancer and chemotherapy.

With so many different pain-causing illnesses, injuries, and conditions, treatments must be carefully customized to fit the needs of each individual patient. Dr. Patel partners with orthopedists, physical and occupational therapists, and chiropractors to provide a variety of approaches and treatments. With

Regenerative Medicine/ Stem Cell Therapy. Regenerative medicine is a fastgrowing, highly developed treatment that helps the body heal or rebuild itself. Dr. Patel uses stem cell therapy to treat ailments, particularly low back or neck pain, caused by degenerative vertebral discs or joint pain in the shoulders, hips, or knees caused by osteoarthritis. The patient’s stem cells are removed, purified, concentrated, and injected into the injured or weakened tissue. Stem cell therapy can also speed recovery and help avoid surgery.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). A favorite treatment for sports injuries, PRP uses the patient’s blood to produce a platelet-rich plasma that targets a host of chronic and acute pain conditions, including muscle strain, arthritis, tendinosis, cartilage injuries, joint inflammation, and wound care. The treatment is also used in orthopedic and plastic surgery. By synthesizing platelets and releasing proteins, PRP can aid in generating new tissue. And it has helped chemotherapy patients grow back hair faster and thicker.

Cannabis Therapy. The legalization of medical marijuana has brought new treatment options. “We are very excited by the potential of cannabis-based treatments and we comply fully with New Jersey’s evolving regulations,” says Dr. Patel. He uses a local dispensary to provide treatments, which include edibles such as gummy bears and cannabis-based rubbing and vaping oils.

Minimally Invasive Therapy. Dr. Patel offers a wide variety of minimally invasive therapies. These include epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections, radiofrequency ablation, and spinal cord stimulation for patients suffering from chronic neck and back pain stemming from herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, or spinal stenosis. His goal is to help his patients avoid surgery and at the same time regain functionality.

Thanks to these and other game-changing treatments, pain levels can be greatly reduced or eliminated and quality of life enhanced. Says Dr. Patel, “Stop your pain.

Start your life.”

out & about Walk (or bike) this way

By Dan Aubrey

The newly opened Scudder Fall Bridge Shared Use Pathway is the closest one can get to walking and bicycling on air and a great addition to various hikes and walks available to people in the region looking to get out and get healthy — especially at the start of a new year.

The 0.86-mile-long walkway is located on the bridge’s upstream span and accessible in New Jersey from the D&R Feeder Canal towpath. A canal and towpath parking area is located on River Road in Ewing. A Pennsylvania ramp is located directly opposite on the Delaware Canal towpath.

The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission, which opened the pathway in November, reports that the “bridge walkways and ramps are 10 feet wide with accompanying 4-foot-6-inch railing heights that meet Federal Highway Administration standards for integration of pedestrian and bicycle traffic.

“The new shared-use facility makes Scudder Falls the only river crossing

in the Commission’s 20-bridge system where bicyclists can pedal across without dismounting. Fifteen of the Commission’s bridges currently provide some form of pedestrian access.

However, for safety, liability, and logistical reasons, bicyclists must dismount and walk across these existing walkways.”

Additionally, the project includes a park-n-ride lot, a comfort station, an interpretive bridge display, and an active transportation network of paths, ramps and bridge walkways, providing direct connectivity between Pennsylvania’s Delaware Canal towpath and New Jersey’s Delaware & Raritan Canal towpath.

“This new facility was constructed by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission and is funded by the tolls the agency collects at its eight toll bridges. The Commission has committed to operating and maintaining the facility’s various components in perpetuity,” says the DRJTBC in a statement.

The newly opened Scudder Fall Bridge Shared Use Pathway, accessible from For more information: www.drjtbc. River Road in Ewing, adds to regional walking, biking, and hiking routes and org. offers spectacular views of the Delaware River along the way.

All in the family at Al’s Airport Inn

By Thomas Kelly

One thing that long standing family businesses have in common is their stories. Stories that may have been handed down through generations of owners, employees and customers.

The history in photos, documents and memories are comforting and provide us with a sense of continuity and community. Long standing family businesses provide us with comfort and roots.

Since 1933 there has been an inn near the airport on Bear Tavern Road in Ewing that has been welcoming travelers. Providing hospitality to airport patrons and locals alike, Al’s Airport Inn is keeping the tradition alive and looking to the future. Nestled on a flat plain in the middle of rolling hills, it is easy to think back 88 years and see the warmly lit inn on the outskirts of the airfield, as you climb out of the newly burgeoning transport mode of passenger airplanes.

Family owned and operated, Al’s Airport Inn is now owned by Carrie Ann Bondi, and she is looking to enhance the traditional tavern experi-

feel but is much newer and brighter inside. “Of course we kept the building looking like “Al’s”. We had to keep the exposed beams, woodwork, and

brick. The original building dates back to the 1700s and we want to showcase that,” states Bondi.

Originating right after the airport was built in 1929, Al’s Airport Inn was purchased from by Bondi from her husband’s grandmother in 2018. “It was time for Grandmom to retire as she was in her 90s and it was either sell it to strangers or buy the inn.” Say Bondi. “My husband’s grandparents acquired the business from Al Jones and his wife from which they were partnered with in the Jones’ later years. The inn is named after Al, of course.”

Starting a new venture was almost as important as keeping the inn within the family. Previously working as a marketing and social media consultant, Bondi took the chance, purchased the inn, and has not looked back.

“We were forced to close for 8 months due to the pandemic and have been slowly building back to 25, 50 and now 100 percent capacity. We are especially grateful to our community. We could not have done it without their loyalty and encourage-

Hamilton Dental Associates Affordable Dental Care Save Big on Dental Care with Our Access Plan. To the folks who might have lost their jobs or insurance during last year’s pandemic, or if you find yourself constantly running into problems with your insurance… you’re not alone. Dental services are a huge problem for many Americans. In fact, research has shown that costs are the most significant barrier to dental care in the United States compared to any other health care service.

Your oral health is crucial to your overall health and well-being, and access to dental care should be easy to obtain. However, proper access to care poses a huge challenge to many families in the area and around the country.

Getting your routine care is important for all and should not cost you and your family a fortune.

Say Goodbye to Dental Insurance. More often than not, dental insurance requires expensive payroll deductions, doesn’t cover everything that you need, and has low annual limits. At times, you probably find yourself

paying out of pocket if you have a slight problem. You might even wind up paying more in monthly premiums than if you paid for the services themselves.

Bi-annual exams, x-rays, cleaning, and fluoride treatment fees can be costly and will begin to add up, especially if you’re providing care for the entire family.

If you’re struggling to find a dental service that caters your budget and your needs, or you’re deciding whether or not to invest in dental insurance, look no further.

Hamilton Dental Access Plan. We’re offering a reliable and affordable way to remain up to date on routine dental care. We will help

you reach an attractive and healthy smile for everyone in the family.

We will provide extensive coverage that dental insurance can’t. Even some of the cheapest insurance plans do not offer the robust services of our access plan.

With Hamilton Dental Associates, you will receive exams, x-rays, cleanings, and fluoride twice per year for your children. As a member of our plan, you’ll also gain exclusive access to preferred rates on all of our other services.

Right off the bat, Hamilton Dental Access saves you nearly 50 percent for bi-annual services that everyone needs. Costly payroll deductions, limits, and uncovered

services are a thing of the past with our new plan. We provide the care you need for less.

What’s covered: • Bi-annual dental examination • Cleaning twice per year with bi-annual checkup • X-rays including panoramic, bitewing or full mouth with bi-annual checkup • Fluoride treatment twice per year for patients ages 3 to 17 Our access program is designed to be affordable for everyone, including low-income families. As a member of our plan, you will save up to 15 percent on additional dental treatments, which include orthodontic, restorative, and endodontic services.

Bottom line, the Hamilton Dental Associates Access Plan will save you money on your routine, biannual services while assuring you that additional treatments will not break the bank. Whether you’re looking for an individual plan or taking care of the needs of the whole family, we’ve got you covered!

AllCure Spine & Sports Medicine Tackling Pain with the Newest Technology, Treatments, and a Mission to Educate Patients “From your toes to your nose, we can help.”

“What you don’t know can hurt you,” affirms Dr. Anthony Alfieri of AllCure Spine and Sports Medicine, an expanding pain management practice with offices in Monroe and Hamilton.

“Too many people are in pain and unhappy with their quality of life. Yet they are unaware of new possibilities of treatment that can significantly reduce or eliminate severe, chronic pain.”

Dr. Alfieri and his colleagues at AllCure’s offices are on a mission to raise public awareness of the causes of pain and the growing range of non-surgical therapies available to treat them. His multidisciplinary approach spans pain management, laser therapy, physical therapy, chiropractic, and acupuncture.

Within these categories are numerous noninvasive solutions that address every part of the body and are administered by a professional team of medical doctors, chiropractors, acupuncturists, and physical therapists. This expert team collaborates to find the most effective treatments to provide long-lasting relief from pain.

“By listening carefully to our patients describe their symptoms and medical history, we can

Brothers Anthony Alfieri, DC, left, and Victor Alfieri, DPT. create a treatment program that combines various therapies to optimum effect,” says Dr. Alfieri. “Many patients have endured pain for years, thinking that heavy medication and possible surgery were the only avenues open to them.”

But new treatments are emerging. The practice has invested in a new FDA-approved laser machine that has proved effective in treating back and neck pain and plantar fasciitis, conditions that are becoming more common with an aging population, intensive computer use, and rising obesity.

With two highly trained acupuncturists on staff, this ancient therapy is now used to treat a vast range of conditions. Acupuncture can alleviate joint and back pain and migraines but has uses for conditions that may not be

actually painful but cause discomfort, impact function and quality of life, and can lead to other problems. These include allergies, anxiety, depression, and difficulties in quitting smoking.

Pregnant women can get relief from side effects such as morning sickness, swollen ankles, and back pain. Acupuncture also helps treat infertility, menopause, and menstrual cramps.

Unfortunately, Medicare and some other insurance plans do not cover acupuncture.

“We make every effort to provide affordable acupuncture treatments,” says Dr. Alfieri.

A large percentage of the practice includes patients suffering from peripheral neuropathy, usually manifested by stabbing pain and/or numbness in the hands and feet. This has many causes, from diabetes to infection or a traumatic injury. “There is no cure for this, but there are treatments that can significantly reduce pain, including laser treatments,” says Dr. Alfieri.

Cannabidiol (CBD) oil has shown promise as a pain reliever without the dangers of addiction posed by opioids. AllCure uses a pure form of Cannabidiol (CBD) oil that has proved effective.

“We want our patients to know that today, they have options,” Dr. Alfieri asserts. “A total cessation of pain may not be possible, but we can often bring pain levels down to a point where the patient’s mobility and quality of life is vastly improved.”

Aura Dermatology Treat Your Skin Right During the Cold Winter Months First and foremost, amidst a rise in COVID-19 cases, Aura Dermatology hopes everyone had a happy and healthy holiday season! As winter approaches and the holidays are behind us, it’s time to focus on Winter Wellness!

Here are some things you can do this winter to maintain optimal skin health.

Cold weather and indoor heating are triggers for dry, itchy skin. We recommend avoiding hot showers/baths (even though they feel good!), applying moisturizing creams to the wet or damp skin immediately following, and considering using a humidifier in the home. For those patients who suffer from eczema or psoriasis, you may have a flare-up of your conditions during this season. It is important to make sure you have a dermatologist to help manage these conditions.

Now that you spend less time outdoors, no reason to wear sunscreen, right? Wrong! It is important to wear sunscreen daily (at least SPF 30). Sun exposure

is still relevant if you are driving, getting sun through windows at home/work, going out for a walk, etc.

Additionally, on snowy days or on the ski slopes, UV rays can reflect off the snow and affect your skin.

Although you are not sunbathing, this chronic cumulative exposure can still contribute to premature skin aging and development of skin cancer. At Aura Dermatology, we recommend the use of broad spectrum (UVA/ UVB) sunscreen with a minimum SPF 30 daily.

This is also a great time to come in for your full body skin exam. You should always be performing monthly self skin exams to look for new or changing moles or growths (changing color, shape, size, bleeding/non-healing).

However, it is important to have your dermatologist check you thoroughly for suspicious spots, especially if you have a history of sunburns, numerous moles on your body, and a personal or family

MILY CE

history of skin cancer.

Lastly, just because the holidays are over, doesn’t mean we can’t still want to look good!

There a variety of treatments like photofacials to fade away sun spots/blood vessels (IPL), chemical peels, laser resurfacing, laser hair removal, or botox/fillers that can be performed to enhance the appearance of our skin. Many of these procedures require sun protection before and afterwards or

The Dental Difference Mini Dental Implants: A True Innovation in Dentistry Mini Dental Implants (MDIs) have changed the face of implant dentistry. Unlike traditional implant placement, where multiple dental visits are often required, MDIs can eliminate the need for extensive surgery. The most common use for MDIs is the stabilization of dentures and overdentures. MDIs firmly anchor the dental prosthesis, which means there is no longer a need to suffer with ill-fitting, loose and ANNOYING dentures!

MDIs are designed to eliminate elaborate bone grafting and to expedite treatment. Traditional implants may require significant bone grafting and a longer recovery period. The latent period allows the anchor of the implant to properly embed itself into the jawbone. The smaller size of MDIs means that no recovery period is possible, and the denture can be fitted the same day.

What are the advantages of

MDI placement?

MDIs are a true innovation for people who are reluctant to have invasive dental surgery and who are suffering denture wearers. One significant advantage MDIs have over traditional implants is that they offer a viable treatment choice for patients who have experienced extensive bone loss. Depending on the quality and density of jawbone available at the implant site, four or more of these mini implants may be implanted at one time. The most common use for MDIs is to stabilize a lower denture, however they can be placed anywhere in the mouth.

Other advantages associated with MDIs may include: • Better smelling breath • More self-esteem • Clearer speech • Easier chewing and biting • Easier cleaning • Firmer denture fit • Good success rate • Less denture discomfort • No cutting or sutures • No need for adhesives or messy bonding agents • No rotting food beneath the denture

• No slipping or wobbling • Quick treatment time • Reduced costs How are mini dental implants placed? The whole mini dental implant placement procedure takes approximately one hour. Generally, in the case of lower jaw implants, four to six MDIs will be placed about 5mm apart. Prior to inserting MDIs, Dr. Mosmen will use many diagnostic and planning tools to find the optimal location to implant them.

After placement, a denture will be modified and affixed to the MDIs. The rubber O-ring on each MDI snaps into the designated spot on the denture, and the denture then rests snugly on the gum tissue. MDIs hold the denture comfortably in a tight-fitting way for the lifetime of that implant.

In almost all cases, no stitching is required, and no real discomfort is felt after the procedure. When the denture placement procedure is complete, light eating can be resumed. The denture can be removed and cleaned at will. MDIs enhance the natural beauty of the smile and restore full functionality

had not set aside money for the task.

Stuart Robson, the Princeton Township’s assessor at the time, commented that the donation meant the unfortunate loss of a tax assessment; in other words, no money for Princeton. And this being Princeton, one anonymous resident complained, “Who’s going to pay for the new park?”

There were no payments, but there were further land donations — not only to Herrontown Woods but also in the form of contiguous properties. The 77 acres forming the Autumn Hill Preserve was acquired by the Princeton Township Open Space Commission in the late 1960s. When Elizabeth Veblen died in 1974, the remaining Veblen acreage including the house was added to Herrontown Woods. The D&R Greenway saw to it that acreage from the All Saints woods now openly borders the Herrontown property and was also involved in recent acquisitions from the Windy Top development. Today, the entire preserved, open space — almost 600 acres — is often referred to as the Princeton Ridge East Conservation Area and is believed to be the largest contiguous property collection in Princeton. Herrontown Woods is the public core of the assemblage.

Obtaining property is one thing; maintaining it is another. In the decades following Veblen’s original gift, trees fell, weeds flourished, and trails disappeared with muddy water runoff taking their place. Enter Steve Hiltner.

Hiltner, a man of many talents — primarily professional jazz musician but also a botanist and naturalist among other skills — readily admits he had no idea of saving Herrontown Woods when he came to Princeton as a faculty spouse in 2003 (his wife is currently director of Princeton’s Program in Latin American Studies). What he wanted to save upon discovering the area, what he thought was rather magical, was the abandoned Veblen house and cottage that he found in the midst of the woods.

That vista brought up memories of his childhood growing up in Williams Bay, a very small Wisconsin town on the shores of Lake Geneva, where his father was an astronomer at the Yerkes Observatory.

He recognized, however, that cleaning and reestablishing trails throughout the property was a top priority. And, in order to do so, it was necessary to get permission from the county to recruit volunteers and lead the effort. The county saw no problem in having volunteers rehabilitate the woods for hikers and walkers. Hiltner’s problem, at first, was recruitment. Finally, in 2013, the Tazelaars and others answered the call.

It has taken years, and efforts continue to this day, to clear trails and cover muddy areas not only through Herrontown Woods but also through the adjoining Autumn Hill preserve. “Kurt Tazelaar threw himself into this initial work,” Hiltner says. And adds, “He was also quite strict on obtaining the correct

The Boat in the Woods and the ‘Infamous Odyssey Project’

D

uring this past Thanksgiving, my husband, son-in-law, and two grandsons — Aidan, 8 ½, and Cameron, 6 — hiked through the woods to release some energy prior to dinner. The boys loved Herrontown and were particularly intrigued by what appeared to be a canoe sculpted from a tree trunk.

They were not alone in their curiosity. Further research revealed that Hiltner, aware of the boat being stowed behind Princeton High School’s administrative wing, had received permission in July, 2020, to move it to Herrontown. When he discovered that it was part of what generations of Princeton High School graduates describe as “the Infamous Odyssey Project,” Hiltner asked English teacher Julie Dunham to provide the boat’s back story.

Dunham wrote: “Every year for nearly 20 years, freshmen have read and studied ‘The Odyssey.’ As a culminating project, students create their own projects that would demonstrate a personal connection to or appreciation for the text. … A group of young men wrote a proposal indicating … they wanted to build a boat that would show information from the journey. It was an interesting proposal, so I had no problem approving it.

“The one piece of information that

stones for river crossings. These stones had to be flat topped for stepping purposes.” Hiltner still remembers how exhausting it was to transport car loads of such stones and, under Kurt’s supervision, placing them not only across streams but also through muddy trail areas.

The year 2017 was a big one in that the Friends were established as a legal entity and also convinced Princeton to take over ownership of the woods from the county. Hiltner’s hours and hours of hard work brought about both accomplishments. With those goals in place, Hiltner was able to start implementing Veblen’s vision by establishing a Botanical Art Garden, filled with labeled native plants, and clearing the site as an event gathering place. Hiltner also began work on rehabilitating the Veblen dwellings.

As the woods opened up, the volunteers came. Among them Princeton’s 8th grade Girl Scout Troop. They spent hours giving (seeding native plants) and taking (weeding out invasive garlic mustard). Members also created signs for Veblen’s house and the Veblen cottage — noting here that Einstein walked the woods and often lunched with Veblen in the building.

Victorino Pineda — “a genius with

was not in the proposal and that I did not think to question, was the size of the boat they wanted to construct.

So, imagine my shock when I entered my classroom in December of that year and immediately smelled lumber! When I turned to the back of the room, I was stunned. There was this eight-foot ‘boat’ with a sail, reaching to the ceiling, that outlined Odysseus’ journey! The boat was carved from a log (which was not exactly authentic) but had an accurate tracing of Odysseus’ journey on the sail. Clearly, the group that created this boat had done research on the journey across the seas. They were very excited by their project! How they got that boat into my classroom is still a mystery, but I was told that one of their dads played a role in getting it to PHS. a buzz saw” says Hiltner — has been crafting structures out of fallen trees in the woods.

Cameron and Aidan Balchun immediately took to the Odyssey project boat, picked up conveniently placed and shaped wood pieces, and started working away.

“At the end of the year, the boat mysteriously found a new home in the back of PHS. I had told the students to make sure they ‘took it home’ before the end of the school year, and I assumed (wrongfully) that had occurred. It wasn’t until years later that I found out it was still on the property of PHS.” Dunham concluded her description by writing, “I am thrilled that this project will find a new home!”

Clearly, youngsters visiting Herrontown Woods heartily agree with that sentiment. tions. The website gives information on its board, the events, and the history.

Most appropriately for now, it also gives directions to an awesome place to walk off some excessive holiday dining.
